Aw what a shame, better ticking next time eh?
got any braindumps you can share?
I hope you're kidding about the braindumps...
eugh - won't that mess up our nice new clean Edugeek?
lol - yeah just joking about the braindumps - sticking with the books and practice exams....
Books and practice that's the stuff, can't beat practical (actually doing it) experience though (guess that might be a bit difficult if you haven't got any Win7 machines yet)
Are braindumps not just those books full of questions and answers? Surely by reading them and knowing the correct answer, you are therefore learning?
Braindumps are everything that comes into your head when focusing on a particular issue. When working through a project they help with un-jumbling disparate thoughts. Some folk make mind-maps but they are quite structured. Braindumps aren't structured at all until you look at them afterwards. If, having read all the books and answered all the questions, your braindump contains all that it should (ie the things in the book), all you have to do is get the items in the right order.
Braindumps in the context of MS exams can mean something very different.
If it's the sharing the questions, question layout of an exam and the answers that is cheating.
Reading from a book and learning is very different to a going to an exam knowing the questions & answers because you've memorised them... that's cheating & wont help you learn, maybe a definition of braindump is required.
If, each time the exam is run, the questions are different (as in SATs) then you'd have to know the answers - that's learning. So practicing with sample exam papers would be OK. However, if the questions are always the same ones then memorising those questions with the aid of the books, whilst also learning you would consider to be cheating?
I wouldn't really see it as cheating either way - unless they were the questions from an actual exam (as in - someone had gone in for an exam and written all the answers down) then that I would regard as cheating.. which I would imagine is not that easy...
I would always do a practice test, read the book on any topics I as weak on, then go back and do another test.. and so on...
I can see why that would be classed as cheating, but I disagree it wouldn't help you learn. Maybe for some folk who would just read it, pass an exam, and forget it, but I tend to remember everything I read anyway, so if I sat and read through a whole textbook, or sat and read through all the questions and then the answers, at the end I would know the same stuff. Doing it the latter way just filters out all the waffle. IMO.
Do people not do the same for the Driving Theory test?
Whereas I learn by doing - if I've worked through an issue at or on a machine then I've learnt how to do it for another time. I do keep words in my head if I've read the book, but they aren't properly learnt until I've actually done it.
Don't know about the Driving Theory Test, as I don't drive.
Regarding cheating - rest assured i haven't cheated - If I had - I would have passed!!

Ferrero Eggs: Hazelnut & CocoaFerrero Hazelnut Eggs are new in the United States for Easter. They're based on the popular Ferrero line of Rochers, not their Kinder Eggs (which are illegal in the United States). The bag is expensive. It was 3.5 ounces and cost $3.99. There are only 10 little eggs inside. However, I liked the spare packaging which did the job of protecting the foil wrapped eggs as they were all fresh and unmarred. The package says that they're Crispy bite size eggs smothered in milk chocolate with luscious cream. Each egg is about 1.5 inches long. The chocolate shell is extremely light in color, the ingredients bear this out, with sugar as the first ingredient in the shell and milk as the second with cocoa butter and cocoa mass pulling up the third and fourth slots. It smells extremely sweet, a little like pudding and nutella. The bite is soft, the construction is similar to a Ferrero Rocher. There's a nearly liquid hazelnut cream center, a crisp cookie shell and then the chocolate coating on the outside. (There are no crushed nuts in this item.) The creamy center is sweet, sticky and quite slick. The smoothness gives up the roasted hazelnut flavors easily, and matches the sweetness of the chocolate shell very well. The light wafery crisp of the inner shell is the only thing that breaks it up and gives a little malty corn flake note to it (it's made with wheat flour). Ferrero Cocoa Eggs are like Ferrero Rondnoir. There's a dark chocolate shell, a wafery light shell under that and a creamy dark chocolate filling. There's only a touch of hazelnut in there, according to the ingredients, and I really didn't catch any of the flavors. Like it's hazelnut buddy, there's also a bit of palm oil in the center, which is a little disappointing, but expected. The Ferrero group has pledged to sustainably source their cocoa and palm oil by 2015. They also say that they don't purchase cocoa from slave farms, but don't have a formal certification process yet. The dark chocolate is well rounded, with a strong fudgy flavor like brownies. There's even a slight bitter note to it that's balanced out by the much sweeter creamy filling and more bland wafers. I liked the Cocoa Eggs a bit better than the Hazelnut. They're both different from their year round versions as well, which means that they are a little more "special" than just a reshaping and some pastel packaging. They contain nuts, milk, soy and gluten. The only artificial ingredient was vanillin. They're filled with fat (delicious fat) and clock in at 163 calories per ounce, on the very high side for candy. I found them expensive for the amount and quality of the product. They were good, but not fantastic. For the same money, I'd probably be happier with See's Scotchmallow Eggs. Related Candies

Trader Joe's Les Chocolats Belgique (Belgian Bars): Caramel, Chocolate Buttercream & SpeculoosFor the past few weeks running up to Valentine's Day I've noticed quite a few ads for Cartier, especially in my New Yorker magazines. They feature three rings and extoll the virtues of this trinity: love, friendship and fidelity. Trader Joe's has done something different with their new trinity, but I think they embody the same attributes. There are three new petite bars at Trader Joe's, sold under the banner of Les Chocolats de Belgique. They're only a dollar each, so I figured why not try all of them. There's the standard Milk Chocolate {filled with} Caramel, Dark Chocolate {filled with} Chocolate Buttercream and the most intriguing of the set, Dark Chocolate {filled with} Speculoos Cookie Spread. I'm going to go with Chocolate Buttercream representing love, Caramel represents fidelity and Speculoos represents friendship. I have to be honest, I had no idea what Speculoos was until about a year ago, and now it seems to be as trendy as bacon. In reality I actually knew Speculoos quite well. In the United States and Canada they're known as Dutch Windmill Cookies. They're just molded, rather thin, butter cookies that are not quite a shortbread, have more molasses or brown sugar in them and a touch of spices (usually cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and ginger). The variety my grandmother always kept in a tin on her counter usually had sliced almonds in them and were less spicy than the German/Dutch varieties I've tried since. The cookies are common in Germany, Belgium, France and the Netherlands, especially before Christmas and the Epiphany. Lately the confectionery trend has been to add crushed cookies to chocolate bars and now Trader Joe's has a version that employs a spread made with Speculoos (think of it as a cookie version of Nutella). All of the bars are the same format: a nicely molded long and thick filled chocolate bar. This one clocks in at 1.58 ounces (the others are 1.5 ounces) and a whopping 165 calories per ounce or 260 calories for the full bar. The filling looks much lighter than the package, more like a light peanut butter than a chocolate spread. The filling is made from crushed cookies (so not gluten free) and some palm and coconut oils. It's quite creamy with only a light grainy note to it of the cookies. The flavor is a lot like ground up shortbread with a light ginger and cinnamon spice note. It's comforting and pleasant, the texture is definitely fatty without feeling greasy. The chocolate is silky smooth with some light woodsy bitter notes that make the sweeter filling stand out. It's a great change of pace for the price, but the calories make this one bar that I'm less likely to pick up. The Dark Chocolate {filled with} Chocolate Buttercream bar is a little more traditional, but I must note that I was assuming that buttercream was going to be more ganache-like. The buttercream center is actually made with something called "butter concentrate" and "milk concentrate." If you're dairy-adverse, steer clear of this bar. Even though it has lots of fat in it, it's less calorie laden than the Speculoos bar, coming in at 230 calories for the 1.5 ounces or 153 calories per ounce. The dark chocolate is much more front and center on this bar. It's silky smooth and melts well. The center is quite soft and reminds me a bit of the middle of a Lindt Lindor Truffle, but less watery tasting. The chocolate buttercream is not quite as intense as the shell but has an excellent full texture. There were a few sugar grains in it, but I didn't mind (I find the graininess of some buttercream frostings to be a selling point). The puzzling bar in the mix, and judging by how elections in this country go, the most popular is the Milk Chocolate {filled with} Caramel. (I don't know why I have to keep putting those brackets in there, they were on the wrappers, so now they're here.) If you were to pick out one of the three based on calorie count, well, you'd probably opt for the Caramel bar because it's only (only!) 220 calories and one more gram of sugar than the Speculoos bar. But many folks will like this because it features Belgian milk chocolate. So the concept is sound, but perhaps a little ordinary. The sugar is quite apparent. The milk chocolate is smooth and milky but so incredibly sweet that it's hard to get any actual chocolate flavor from it because it seared my throat so badly. The caramel filling is wonderfully smooth as well and has a strong toffee flavor to it, it's also salty and, well, sweet. It's a tough bar for me to love. It's certainly better than a Caramello, but it makes me realize that I don't really like these sorts of bars much ... even when done well. I'm more likely to buy these Belgian bars again than ever be interested in Cartier jewelry, but neither are quite to my style. The quality of ingredients is good and the price is excellent, but they're just not for me. I'm hoping if they're popular we'll get some other variations.

Trader Joe's Milk Chocolate Covered Joe's O'sTrader Joe's has its own version of a lot of standard food items. One that's quite popular are the Trader Joe's Joe's O's Cereal. I've never had it. It's probably been 20 years since I've eaten Cheerios as well. I'm not a breakfast cereal sort of person, I prefer eggs and other more savory and protein heavy items in the morning. But I'll go for some chocolate covered breakfast cereal, so that that's exactly what Trader Joe's did, with their Milk Chocolate Covered Joe's O's. They come in a tub, which is rather light at only 6 ounces as it has lots of the airy cereal in it. They're really shiny. They smell like milky and a bit like sweet breakfast cereal. The chocolate has a light glaze on it, so it doesn't melt immediately, but I'm a cruncher so that didn't bother me. The chocolate is sweet and does have a creamy texture once it starts to melt. The Joe's O's are a little malty and not too sweet or salty. It's a good snack, but it didn't quite rise to the level of candy for me, even though there was a enough fat in it to bring the calories per ounce up to 131 (more than a 3 Musketeers, not as much as straight chocolate). I'm enthusiastic about trying everything covered in chocolate at least once, but this wasn't quite it. I'd eat them if you put them in front of me, I certainly had no trouble finishing the tub. But looking back on it, I didn't find it a notable experience. Maybe some Chex style cereal (especially one of the gluten free varieties) would work better. The ultimate cereal and chocolate is still chocolate covered Corn Flakes. The Joe's O's use a confectioners glaze, so are not vegetarian. They may also contain traces of wheat, peanuts and tree nuts plus contain dairy and soy and GMO ingredients. There is no indication of the ethical sourcing of the chocolate or other ingredients on the package or Trader Joe's website. Related Candies

Fujiya Look Wafers & CrepesOne of the charming candies that I've sampled over the years from Japan is from Fujiya. Fujiya makes confections as well as running a series of cafes. Their mascot is Peko-Chan, little chubby cheeked girl in pig tails, which is now a well recognized icon around the world and appears on the Milky brand of chocolate candies. Fujiya also makes a line of inexpensive chocolate candies more for adults under the Look line. These are usually little trays of individual pieces, often with multiple flavors in one package. I was attracted to this new introduction of single flavors. The Fujiya Look Crepe in Chocolate comes in a nicely sealed flat package and retails for less than $2.00 usually. The tray inside holds 12 pristine and lovely little chocolate squares. They're a little over 3/4 of an inch square and a half an inch tall. They're shiny and fresh. So far, so good. The English translation sticker on the back lists the ingredients and the nutritional panel. Instead of giving the calories for a serving, it says that one piece has 24 calories. So they're kind of high in fat since they clock in at a calculated 158 calories per ounce. The other thing that the ingredients revealed is that this isn't quite real chocolate. It's made with cocoa butter, but there's added vegetable fat. After eating them, I wouldn't have needed to be told. Again, they look great. They smell great. The bit is soft, the "crepe" inside is like an ice cream cone or feuilletine. It's crispy and has a slight toffee flavor to it. It's airy, you know, because there's that big void in the middle ... a great mix of textures. But the problem becomes the chocolate coating. It looks great and even has a rich chocolate flavor, but the texture is just weird. It's gummy, thick but without that smooth melt that real cocoa butter delivers. I'd call it waxy, but because it does actually melt, it's hard to pin that on it. The chocolate flavor, however, for a milk chocolate product, is especially rich, like a really decadent cocoa drink. It's also not overly sweet. But still, since so much of the candy is made up of the chocolate, it's just too disappointing to keep eating. Like the blue packaged Crepe in Chocolate, the pink packaged Fujiya Look Wafers in Chocolate have it all going on in the looks department. The packaging is sharp and accurate. It's bold and even has enough English on the wrapper to keep me from being confused. This version is a little lighter, each piece has 22 calories. The construction is like a KitKat bar, a series of light wafers with cream between them. There are 12 little pieces in a segmented tray in the package. The wafers are great, airy and crispy with a slight vanilla and malt note. The cream between them ... hardly noticeable. It's all overshadowed by that same, weird, not-quite-chocolate stuff. It's too bad, because I really wanted to love these, especially the Crepe since it's such an uncommon combination in the United States. At least I know that I wasn't imagining it or it was some anomaly with one package. Both had the same qualities, both were within the expiry and obviously were stored properly. I might give Look another try, as they try new flavor combinations very often, but I'll be careful to read the package first so I don't get my hopes up for good chocolate. Related Candies

Christmas Bars: Hershey's, Niederegger, Ghirardelli & HachezHere's a small selection of what I'd call Christmas chocolate bars. I've got to eat them up before the holidays - it may be too late for you to get them by Christmas, but there are some special ones that are worth picking up at the after-Christmas sales. Hershey's introduced their Golden Almond Bar in 1977. It's a thick bar and clocks in at 2.8 ounces. The bar design and packaging has changed little over the past thirty five years. It's still wrapped in gold foil with a gold sleeve. Bars are sold either singly or in gold gift boxes of five bars (see a 1984 ad here). They're not that easy to find, I usually see them at the official Hershey's stores at Chocolate World or the Times Square shop. The bar is simple, it's just milk chocolate with lots of whole roasted almonds in it. It differs from the Hershey's Milk Chocolate with Almonds bar as it's supposed to be better quality chocolate. The ingredients do not differ from the Hershey's standard milk chocolate which includes PGPR but is at least made in the United States and not Mexico as the other supposedly upscale Pot of Gold line is. The bar is wonderful looking, it's thick and has a great snap. It's about 1.7 inches wide, 4.75 inches long and a beefy half inch high. There are some almonds in there though not as many as I feel are promised but they look like they're fresh and of good quality. The chocolate looks a little darker than the standard Hershey's but smells like I'd expect. It's sweet with a slight yogurty tang to it. The texture is smooth and fudgy, with a sticky melt and a light caramel and woodsy chocolate flavor. It's not complex and it's not extraordinary. But if you like Hershey's chocolate and enjoy the decadence of a thicker piece, this is a good bar to choose. I liked the nostalgia of an actual foil wrapped bar, which is so rare these days. If there's someone on your list that loves Hershey's, this is a little bit more elegant way to give them what they desire. Size: 2.8 ounces I'll have more about my German adventures, including a tour of the Niederegger Factory in Lubeck in the coming weeks. I found this seasonal bar called Niederegger Marzipan Weihnachtsschokolade at the Niederegger cafe at Marktplatz in Lubeck. The front of the package says Saftiges gewurz marzipan mit vollmilch-schokolade. So it's a spiced marzipan in milk chocolate. The image shows almonds, cinnamon sticks and star anise. The ingredients don't specifically list anise, just "spices" though cinnamon is a separate item. Inside the paper wrapper there's a stiff card (advertising the company and their website) and the foil wrapped bar. The packaging did a great job of protecting the bar. It was glossy and unscuffed. The milk chocolate is very light in color (33% cocoa solids and 14% milk solids). The bar smells like milky chai, a little spicy and very sweet. The marzipan is moist and a bit like eating Snickerdoodle cookie dough. The chocolate is smooth, but doesn't contribute much in the way of cocoa to this, it just nicely encases the marzipan. The texture of the marzipan is a little more rustic than the French style fondant type that's used for creating figures and shapes. Niederegger is meant for eating and enjoying. The ratios on the 100 gram bars from Niederegger favor the chocolate more than the enrobed little classic loaves. (I'll get into that more in my master post.) If you're looking for a starter marzipan that's more about the texture and celebrates almonds as the source ingredient, Niederegger really can't be beat. It's not too sweet and doesn't have any fake amaretto flavors to it. I would prefer a version of this with dark chocolate, but I can't argue with the traditional recipe they have. It's a great balance of subtle spice, sweetness, milk and almonds. Size: 3.5 ounces I'm no stranger to the Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark. They've been making it for years and it comes in a clever little square that's perfect for some afternoon tea or coffee. I found this set of bars at Target last month on sale for $2 each. They're heralded as limited edition and come in milk chocolate and dark chocolate. I'm not actually a fan of barks. I like my inclusions fully immersed in the chocolate. So the bar version of Peppermint Bark is perfect for my strange fondness for things being hidden in the chocolate. Unlike most Peppermint Barks, which combine white chocolate with crushed peppermint candies (like candy canes or starlight mints), the Ghiradelli version uses minty, artificially colored corn flakes. I haven't the foggiest why they did it that way, but honestly, they created something unique enough to be a new genre. The milk and dark vary a little bit in their coloring. The milk version is sweet and has a lot of dairy notes to it from both the milk chocolate base and the white chocolate top (made with real cocoa butter). The mint is clean and bright, the little cereal bits are crunchy and a little salty and keep it all from being too cloying. The dark version has two kinds of bits, the red bits and some little dark brown bits, which I think are little chocolate cookie pieces. The dark chocolate has a little smoky note to it which overshadowed the minty layer a bit, which I enjoyed. There's a definite difference between the Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark and the Dove Peppermint Bark, which can also be found for comparable prices at similar stores. Personally, I prefer the Dove version, because it's a bit butterier. This one is about the crunch, a grown up sort of crunch. Size: 3 ounces The last item I have is not quite a full review. The Hachez Weihnachts Knusper Bar (Christmas Crunchy Bar) is a darling looking bar. The soft white paper wrapper has a classically illustrated scene of a child ice skating on a pond. Feine Vollmilch-Chocolade mit Zimt, Mandeln und Nussen My German was getting pretty good, even though I'd only been listening to German podcasts for a week and was only there for a day. The front of the package said Fine milk chocolate with cinnamon, almonds and nuts. The little image also showed all of the above -cinnamon sticks, milk chocolate blocks, almonds and a hazelnut in its shell. So I was very excited when I got it home and put at the top of my list to photograph and review before Christmas. I took it out of the wrapper, snapped it in half ... it looked and smelled so good: The bar was glossy and showed no ill effects from the long journey (about 750 more miles on a bus at that point then the 5,700 mile plane ride). I broke off a little piece of it to try after the photo, I was greeted by wonderfully smooth and milky chocolate and amazingly fresh, crunchy and crushed nuts and a hint of cinnamon. I could taste the hazelnuts and something else ... it wasn't pecans, it was walnuts. What I didn't realize was that while Nussen might be a generic word for nuts, it usually meant walnuts. (Walnusse is the more specific word.) So technically, I didn't eat any of the bar. I had to spit it out and rinse out my mouth (I still ended up itchy and with a sore throat all evening - my allergy has not developed beyond this irritation stage). But I'm going to go out on a limb after eating many of the other Hachez products in the past week (which I'll have reviews for) and say that this really is a good bar. Size: 3.5 ounces Do you have a favorite winter flavor combination? Anything regional or something from long ago that they don't make any longer? Related Candies

Organic Moo Milk Chocolate with Crisped Rice & Corn FlakesI saw the Organic Moo Chocolate bars from Organic Children's Chocolate, LLC at Whole Foods. It's a line of chocolate just for kids with fun cereal inclusions like crisped rice, corn flakes, granola and graham crackers. It's great to see some organic candy products that are formulated just for kids, because most of them seem to be just for adults, with mature palates. The packaging here is easy to read and appeals to youngsters with cartoon cows and simple formulations. It's really about time someone came up with an organic version of the Nestle Crunch bar. But the big question becomes, why organic chocolate? Is it better than traditionally grown chocolate? Well, yes and no. Traditionally grown cocoa is fraught with pests, so most of the cacao grown is treated with a variety of inorganic pesticides. Because of the way the cacao beans are situation with a hard pod, and the fact that most treatments are on the canopy of the tree (not in the soil) means that very is absorbed or becomes a residue in finished chocolate. (For example spot tests in the UK have found very low levels of Lindane at less than .02 mg per kilogram in about 45% of chocolate tested.) Chocolate is a very small part of our diet (about 12 pounds per person per year in the US), so that's a very small, very slowly ingested amount. But children are smaller and more susceptible to toxins, so it's understandable that many parents want to limit their exposure. There's also the fact that the farm workers who apply the stuff are exposed to it at much higher levels and are for more likely to suffer from side effects than we would be. So you have a choice now, organic chocolate is available. But how does it taste? The Organic Moo Milk Chocolate with Rice Crisps bar is made with all organic ingredients, including organic crisped brown rice. Even the packaging is made from recycled paper. The bars are big, 2.1 ounces for this one, and a lot of crisped rice there when I flipped it over. The bar smells milky and sweet, but has a toasted sugar and malty cereal scent to it ... along with a kind of musty odor, a bit like hot cocoa but also slightly reminiscent of wet paper. The texture is quite smooth, much smoother than Hershey's or Nestle. The milk flavors are strong and a little earthier, but that could be the malt of the crisped rice. It's sweet, much sweeter than other organic chocolates, as this is a chocolate for kids so it's a little less intense. The flavor reminds me of the Thompson's Organic I've had before. When I contacted Moo Chocolate to ask about the source of their organic chocolate, they wouldn't say except that it is Swiss. The crisped rice are crunchy, but also not quite airy and light, as I think many of us might be accustomed to with Rice Krispies. It's quite satisfying to eat just half the bar (a little over one ounce). The sections (whimsically alternating between a cow and the Moo logo) are easy to break off and small hand friendly. Overall, it's a great combination of textures, but the kind of goaty flavor of the chocolate is not to my liking, so I'd probably skip this entire brand line. However, kids are often less discriminating and the packaging here doesn't make this feel like it's "special", just that it's fun and tasty. The Organic Moo Chocolate Milk Chocolate with Corn Flakes is also made with the same milk chocolate, though the bar weighs a little more at 2.7 ounces (I guess corn flakes are denser than crisped rice). The ingredients are all organic, except for the sea salt. The package has a pleasing yellow color coding, which actually helped me make the natural assumption for corn. This bar was not as amusing to look at as the Rice Crisps. The mold is generic, and only breaks into fourths instead of eighths. The breaks were messy, as the corn flakes were big and would keep the cleavage irregular. I didn't get as much of the musty taste in this bar as the Rice Crisps one, but it tasted much sweeter. The corn flakes are thick and a little rustic. I didn't find them as light and crispy as the commercial brands though I'd probably love them in actual milk. I wanted to like this bar, because of my deep devotion to the Ritter Sport Knusperflakes (milk chocolate and corn flake bar), but the textures, chocolate flavor notes and ratios just weren't there. Plus it cost more than twice as much. I did a little research about organic chocolate versus traditionally grown for this post. It's hard to find independent information on the subject, as most publishers of information freely available are biased one way or the other (usually in favor of selling their own product). This article was well researched with plenty of citations, if you want to read more on the subject. As far as my opinion, it would be good to reduce pesticide use through sustainable methods that both preserve the ecology of the plantations, are safe for the workers and the final consumers. For the latter folks though, chocolate is such a small part of our diets, there are far better places to spend your money to reduce pesticide residue exposures. I would advise prioritizing the "dirty dozen" and working from there. If you're a parent looking for something a little more wholesome for your kid, the Moo Chocolate brand is well rounded and a good bet. Of course with all things organic you're going to pay more. Ultimately, I'd like to see Fair Trade go with that and maybe some diversity of package sizes (little one ounce bars are more appropriate for kids). A great stocking stuffer, they're available at Whole Foods and other stores that sell natural products. They're Kosher and contain milk and soy. Also made in a facility that processes wheat, peanuts and tree nuts. Related Candies

Belgian Milk Chocolate ThinsA couple of years ago Trader Joe's started carrying something called Chocolate Crisps. They're thin pieces of chocolate, slightly bent with a few little bits of crisped rice in them. As with many of Trader Joe's products, they're actually a much larger product line. I started seeing a nearly identical product in stores like Cost Plus World Market and Target called Belgian Chocolate Thins. In this case they're made by a company called Royal Chocolates who actually patented their machine process for making these little thins. It's underUS Patent 6,303,171. The process is kind of simple, according to the patent, deposit a little disk of chocolate on a flexible surface, then before it cools completely bend the sides up. (I'd hazard that Pringles are made in a similar fashion - but are fried while in their little forms.) The package describes them as Luscious, milk chocolate filled with crispy rice puffs. Simply irresistible! They come in a tray, which is sealed in cellophane. The tray holds three stacks of approximately 12 pieces. Each little flick is two inches long and an inch and a half across, so a bit smaller than a Pringles potato snack. The package exhorts buyers to enjoy them all year round and suggests serving them with ice cream, coffee or decorating cupcakes. I think it's safe to say that simply eating them is also a good year-round option. But I can imagine that they melt much quicker in the summer heat than more solid bars. The milk chocolate is rather dark, much darker than UK and American style dairy milk chocolate. The smell as much like sweetened cereal as they do like chocolate. They break easily and melt pretty well too. The first thing I got was a caramelly sweetness. The cocoa notes do come out and are quite woodsy. The rice crisps are crunchy, but not overly present as a texture as they disappear quickly. It does give a little malty flavor to it though. Overall, a good little treat. It's very easy to manage portions, because each piece is so light but takes a while to consume. They suggest a full stack of 12 pieces (1.5 ounces) but I found that about 8 or 9 was plenty and stretched out the package for four portions. I feel like it's priced rather expensive, but a Belgian chocolate bar that actually weighs less often costs more. There's a lot of packaging, but it's well engineered since every single piece was whole and nothing was melted or bloomed. They come in a variety of flavors: Caramel, Almond, Hazelnut, Dark and Mint. They're not the first company to make this sort of thing. For a few years Hershey's made a version called Swoops, which were pricey and didn't catch on. Fast Company recently did a brief profile on the product line. Belgian Chocolate Thins contain gluten, dairy and soy plus may contain traces of other tree nuts. (There's no statement about peanuts, but they are made in Belgium where peanuts are less common.) Related Candies

Trader Joe's Milk Chocolate Covered Potato ChipsTrader Joe's continues its introduction of comfort candies. Recently they released a few licorice items and today I have their new Trader Joe's Milk Chocolate Covered Potato Chips. The package is easy on the eyes, a soft robin's egg blue and mellow orange-brown. The package shows the product, which is exactly what you'd think from the name: potato chips covered in milk chocolate. The reality of the candy once out of the bag was a bit different, as you'll see with my pictures. The ingredients list is short (milk chocolate and potato chips, basically) but sadly enough their list of allergens is long: milk and soy are ingredients but also may contain traces of wheat, egg, peanuts and tree nuts. So this crunchy confection may be off limits to gluten free friends. They are Kosher. I'll let Trader Joe's Fearless Flyer do the description here, since they went through so many drafts and have an approval process: My chocolate covered potato chips were rarely flat and even more rarely single. Most were big, fused lumps of chips. Some were easy to pull apart but sometimes that meant that the chocolate went with the other piece and I ended up with an open faced chocolate covered chip. By far the biggest proportion of my bag was made up of folded chips covered in chocolate. This was an interesting predicament, because it meant less chocolate and more chip. They were also messier, as they were more likely to flake off chip bits (or sometimes have other chips within the fold). The milk chocolate is soft and sweet, very milky and sometimes a little greasy feeling. The chips are thick and have a very strong potato taste to them, they're crunchy for the most part. There's a lot of salt taste to the candy, though in reality it's not that bad at 140 mg per serving. The chocolate is sweet in comparison to the chips, more sweet than it needs to be. I really wanted to like this, as I'm a huge fan of savory and sweet combinations like chocolate covered pretzels. It could be that the potato chips are just a little too greasy for me along with the fat content of the chocolate itself. I might give them another try, when I think that a different lot is available at my store - maybe I just got the dregs - little pieces that got coated and then stuck together. Or maybe I'll just stick with chocolate covered pretzels, they're a tried and true favorite. It's a real shame that these aren't gluten free. Related Candies

No state income tax makes it a solid amount of money...which is why we would have to overpay ppl. And no offense, but the whole 'who wants to go to Cleveland' schtick is getting real old...a lot of nba cities suck, salt lake city, okc, sac, Charlotte, min, mil, det...wait a sec, a lot of nba cities suck when u compare them to la, chi, NYC, and Miami...enough of this shit lol
[–]Knicks10b-5 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
Right, but all of those cities you mentioned also struggle attracting free agents. So you're not exactly disproving my point with bringing them up.
As far as state income tax; meh. It makes a little difference, but not much. Oklahoma's state income tax peaks at 5.25%, and for tax purposes, NBA players are pro-rated depending on the state they play in, so you only get a tax benefit for the games played in Texas, which is usually 44-46 a season.
Overall, it's like a 2.5% savings over the same salary would be in Oklahoma. Now, free money is free money, but I doubt that's going to be a deciding point for most athletes.
[–]CavaliersPkfiya 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
True enough but we have draft picks and cap space to make a big move in trades...and once we rebuild our admittedly shitty roster, free agents will come to win...I hope
[–]Knicks10b-5 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
You don't need to rely on free agents though. Irving is already a superstar in the making, he'll be the best PG in the league within 3 years. Thompson is a beast potential.
You can easily build a franchise on those two stars, and fill up the rest of the roster with (really good) supporting cast.
The hardest part to find for a team is a superstar; you already have that.

Martina Hingis lifts Washington Kastles to 3rd straight Team Tennis title
Kastles Stadium erupted Sunday night as a capacity crowd watched Washington close out its third World Team Tennis championship with a 25-12 win over the Springfield Lasers behind the play of MVP Bobby Reynolds and Martina Hingis.
The Kastles secured their fourth finals win in the past five years in front of an announced crowd of 2,670 fans who waited out a two-hour rain delay before the match began. Hingis, in her first season with the Kastles, was elated to win the title at home.
"It's just amazing," Hingis said. "The feeling that I have to be part of this team because they worked so hard to get there … [and] now at the end all of the effort that we put together and all of the dedication they have, it's a great team."
She and Leander Paes defeated Alisa Kleybanova and Andy Roddick, the headline player and part-owner for the Lasers, in mixed doubles to clinch the match.
"I started off pretty well in the [mixed doubles] then my energy level dropped a little bit," said Hingis. "And that's when [Paes] kind of lifted his game amazingly, and it is pretty cool to have five perfect sets."
World Team Tennis scoring is cumulative, so the win is a compilation of the scores from the five sets played: men's singles, women's singles, women's doubles, men's doubles and mixed doubles.
Reynolds opened with a 5-1 win against Rik de Voest and Washington took an early 5-1 lead. The two-time defending champs never looked back from there.
Hingis and Anastasia Rodionova downed Alisa Kleybanova and Vania King 5-3 in their doubles match, and Reynolds and Paes prevailed 5-2 in men's doubles despite a late move by Springfield to substitute Roddick for de Voest alongside Jean-Julien Rojer. Hingis then breezed past Kleybanova 5-2 in singles before closing it out in mixed alongside Paes.
The Kastles (14-2) were dominant all season and set the record for consecutive wins (34) in professional team sports earlier in the year. Coach Murphy Jensen, who led Washington to undefeated seasons in 2011 and 2012, could not decide which achievement was more rewarding — the win streak or the three-peat.
"We got three, it's magical!" said Jensen. "The winning streak is amazing to be part of history, you can't put a price tag on that, and to [win] three in a row, same kind of thing.
"Our guys are successful because we absolutely sacrifice everything to play for D.C. and the Kastles. Tonight they were perfect in all five sets."
The match was scheduled to start at 5 p.m. but didn't begin until 7:03 due to rain delays. This was the second time the Washington won the championship in front of its home crowd, the previous coming in 2009.

text: Amnesty warns Rihanna, Shakira against concerts in AzerbaijanOctober 8, 2012 - 18:06 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Human rights group Amnesty International urged pop stars Rihanna and Shakira on Friday, October 5 to open their eyes to recent arrests of journalists, bloggers and activists in Azerbaijan, before their performances in the former Soviet republic this month, The Express Tribune said. Amnesty and Sing for Democracy said in a joint letter that it wanted to draw the singers' attention to human rights and freedom of speech issues in Azerbaijan. "Both singers should be aware of the situation in the country post-Eurovision," the letter said, referring to the singing contest in the Azeri capital of Baku in May, which spurred protests and rallies by Azeris demanding democracy. Authorities in Baku arrested dozens of protesters in May and have since arrested several journalists and political activists. "We Found Love" singer Rihanna, 24, is scheduled to perform in Baku on Saturday. "Hips Don't Lie" singer Shakira, 35, is performing in Baku for football organisation FIFA's U-17 Women's World Cup on October 13, and at another venue in the capital on October 14. International rights groups often have criticised Azerbaijan for curbing public dissent, while the government in Baku says Azerbaijanis enjoy full freedom of speech. "Amnesty International believes that the Azerbaijani government should afford all artists, journalists, activists and ordinary citizens the right to express themselves freely without fear of reprisal. We hope that you share our belief," said the letter to Rihanna and Shakira. Representatives for both singers did not immediately return calls for comment. Top stories David Cameron said the ban would be imposed on MPs that "have been pushing for the unacceptable steps that have been taken. "All sides need to remember that compromise means getting less than 100%," Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said. The IAEA reported in 2008 that the laser facilities had been taken over by a private company that said it had no plans to enrich uranium. Sayyari had earlier informed of Tehran's plans to send its naval forces to the Atlantic to deploy along the U.S. marine borders.

Consumer Reports begins rating MA doctors
The Boston Globe, June 1, 2012
Consumer Reports is getting into the business of rating primary care doctors. The magazine is getting ready to mail out ratings for nearly 500 adult, family and pediatric physician practices in Massachusetts, the first step in a multistate project to evaluate doctors the way it has rated consumer products for decades. The ratings were drawn from patient surveys by Massachusetts Health Quality Partners, a coalition of physicians, hospitals and health plans that has been publishing data on physician performance on its website since 2006. The ratings are included in a 25-page insert to be mailed Thursday to the magazine's 120,000 subscribers in Massachusetts.

Hi Kevin, Improvement of admissions services at JMU has relied heavily on eliminating paper-handling. Applications are now collected online and loaded using TS189 loads. Transcripts will become paperfree (at least within Virginia) in 2013. Admissions counselors are freed up to focus on the student by using the consolidated data. Having looked at use of high school transcripts across the country recently, I have two observations related to using actual transcript data (as opposed to pdf's): 1. You are lucky if you are in a state like Virginia that has a state-wide project to support high schools in creating the ability to generating the data from their separate student systems. Few high schools or school divisions have the staff or funding to pull it off. Be sure the support structure for secondary and post-secondary participants is there. 2. You are wise to advocate for high schools to code courses in a way that allows you to compare strength of program among students regardless of what state they are from. We chose to use a nationally recognized course code--NCES SCED code--which, in 12 digits, conveys the course and its level of rigor, such as AP Calculus I. PESC standards now support this, in both XML and TS130 format (see the XML to TS130 mapping). If you want to talk to someone who can eloquently make the case for SCED course coding, I would be glad to refer you to Joe Manning at JMU! Best wishes with your project, Karen Karen Lee Information Systems James Madison University Harrisonburg, Virginia

The Small Business Administration's 8(a) certification has been the biggest godsend to small businesses looking to make it in the federal procurement world. The service-disabled veteran-owned status came up second in a new survey.
Based on online responses by 740 small business contractors, 64 percent of owners who have the 8(a) certification said it has been "very or extremely useful" in getting federal contracts. And half of those who are service-disabled veteran-owned firms said that designation has been very or extremely useful.
The results are based on the American Express OPEN's survey known as "Women and Minority Small Business Contractors: Divergent Paths to Equal Success." The survey was conducted in late 2011.
More specifically, minority contractors said the 8(a) status and disabled veteran status have been the most helpful. But even non-disabled veterans, and businesses with any sort of certification from a local government agency, report good results.
For women though, the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule has been best. According to the survey, 41 percent of women contractors on the GSA Schedule said it has been "very or extremely useful."
The Schedules have helped many small businesses though: 39 percent of all firms on the Schedule said it was very or extremely useful. However, only 28 percent of minority contractors gave the Schedule such props.
The government has been working to get a special designation for woman small business owners. So far, it's been the least useful of all the small-business designations. Only 17 percent of women who are certified as a woman-owned business say the designation has been "very or extremely useful."
But the designation is new.
While in the works for a while, officials updated the Federal Acquisition Regulation March 2, announcing that they finalized a FAR rule that allows agencies to set aside contracts for women. It had been an interim rule since April 2011.
According to the survey, "It would seem that the newly launched Woman-Owned Small Business Procurement Program couldn't have come at a better time."

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Available filtered and pasteurised in keg and bottle. Newcastle Brown Ale was first brewed in 1927 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, by Jim Porter after three years of development. Production moved from Newcastle to Gateshead at the end of 2004 and to Tadcaster on closure of the Dunston brewery in 2010.

Global market share growth continues in Telephony
At a glance:
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise grew its global market share in Q4 2013 and is number one in line shipments in EMEA and Western Europe.
2013 has been a challenging economic environment requiring most companies to continue making conservative investment decisions. Even so, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALUE) continued to grow its market share in Telephony and IP Telephony, according to recent industry analyst reports.
In fact, ALUE was number one in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) in terms of telephony and IP telephony markets according to information from leading industry analyst firms Dell'Oro and MZA.
According to Dell'Oro's Worldwide Enterprise Telephony report, ALUE gained the number one position in EMEA with 16.6 percent share of line shipments. This was accomplished by growing line shipments by 8 percent in a market that has declined since last year.
MZA, in its report "The Global Telecommunications Market: The World PBX/IP PBX Market FastView Q4 2013," also ranked ALUE in the top spot for the Western Europe region. The success in EMEA grew from the momentum ALUE had in IP telephony where MZA reported our sales growth at 24 percent in a declining market.
The Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise communication solutions covered in these reports include:
- OpenTouch Business Edition
- OpenTouch Multimedia Services

About Bouygues Telecom
As a full-service electronic communications operator (mobile, fixed, TV, Internet and cloud computing), Bouygues Telecom stands out for its innovative products and services and award-winning customer relations serving its 11.1 million mobile and 2 million fixed broadband customers, which include more than 1.5 million professional and corporate clients and more than 1.7 million B&YOU clients.
After inventing the mobile talk-plan concept in France in 1996, Bouygues Telecom has always been a pioneer in innovation: it introduced the first unlimited call plans with Millennium (1999) and Neo (2006); in 2007, it launched the first fixed-mobile convergence offer for corporate customers; in 2009, it invented the "all-in-one" solution with ideo, the first quadruple play offer in the market; and, as early as July 2011, it invented mobile telephony 2.0 with B&YOU, the first SIM-only Web-Only offer. In June 2012, Bouygues Telecom launched Bbox Sensation, its new range of routers packed with the most innovative technologies on the market that will transform the digital home experience and in November 2013, the Box Internet by B&YOU, a double-play which democratizes the access to Internet. In January 2014, Bouygues Telecom and SFR conclude a strategic agreement to share a part of their mobile access networks : it will enable both operators to provide their respective customers better coverage, better quality of service, and to generate significant savings.
Its mobile network covers 99% of the French population with 2G, 96% with 3G+ and 60% with H+. Bouygues Telecom is also deploying a nationwide 4G network covering already 63% of the French population, bringing access to 4G to 40 million people in France from October 2013.
Sentiment: Buy
Alcatel-Lucent and Bouygues Telecom have strengthened their long-standing relationship by signing multiple cooperation agreements for both mobile and fixed ultra-broadband access activities.
The agreements follow Bouygues Telecom's choice, at the end of 2013, of Alcatel-Lucent to update one of the main transport arteries of its high-speed optical network using 100Gbps technologies, and to manage the French optical backbone network supporting all of its fixed and mobile traffic. Various contracts for renovating systems and configuring networks have also been agreed with Alcatel-Lucent.
In 2014, three major Bouygues Telecom projects will boost cooperation between the two companies further:
Deployment of a 4G LTE-based mobile network core (CSCF) for voice and video services (VoLTE), along with the reuse of several functions from its fixed IMS network core.
Deployment of new SBC equipment ensuring the security of mobile and fixed IP interconnections with other operators.
Provision of IP equipment Core and Edge routers for the renovation of the IP MPLS backbone used to transport all 2G/3G/4G mobile traffic.
Alcatel-Lucent and Bouygues Telecom will join forces to play a key role in developing and leveraging the fiber-optic-transport, IMS, IP and 4G technologies of the future. Both companies are convinced that these technologies will open up new opportunities for digital users and provide benefits for both fixed and mobile customers.
Alcatel-Lucent and Bouygues Telecom are keen to support the emergence of a French digital ecosystem. "Alcatel-Lucent is a historical supplier of Bouygues Telecom, and is a trusted partner we work with on a day-to-day basis in strategic areas of our business," said Mr Olivier Roussat, Chief Executive Officer of Bouygues Telecom.

LTE Network Coverage, Efficiency Enhancing Solutions (such as small cells, caching and self organizing networks), Commercial Contracts, Product/ Service Portfolio, and R&D/ Patents are the top five areas that have the maximum impact on operator's return on investments.
During 2013 and 2018 LTE operators' CAPEX and OPEX savings through SON implementation will be US$3.26 billion and US$5.8 billion respectively.
The ever growing demand for mobile broadband services is driving a large number of LTE network deployments worldwide. Spurred by the demand for LTE services, the global LTE service revenue is projected to cross US$500 billion in 2018 from US$78 billion in 2013, exhibiting a CAGR of 46% during this period.
By 2018 year-end, North America, Western Europe and Asia Pacific will account for around 90% of the global LTE service revenue. Asia Pacific will represent the largest LTE market in terms of service revenue closely followed by Western Europe and North America. Of the remaining 10% market, Africa & Middle East and Central & Eastern Europe will enjoy roughly equal share, while Latin America will have minimal share of the market by the end of 2018.
The global LTE subscriber base reached 62 million in 2012, exhibiting a year-on-year growth of over 370%. With more number of LTE networks as well as rise in the number of LTE smartphones in the market, LTE subscriber base will grow at faster pace during the forecasted period (at a CAGR of 40% during 2013-2018) and will cross 1 billion by the end of 2018

Sherman on best behavior as Seahawks arrive in NJ
JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- From the moment he went to the podium, it was clear that Richard Sherman was enjoying the hype at the start Super Bowl week.
The Seahawks' loquacious cornerback smiled and laughed. He never shied away from questions about his postgame rant about Michael Crabtree immediately after Seattle won the NFC title last weekend and when it came time to get serious about himself he gave thoughtful answers.
What Sherman didn't do for the dozen camera crews and 50 members of the media at the Seahawks' news conference after landing in New Jersey was create any banner headlines or billboard material for the Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos.
He's learned from the uproar over his comments last week, when many came away with a poor opinion of him.
"I still enjoy that because you're learning, constantly learning and constantly growing as a person," Sherman said Sunday night. "You're constantly figuring out how the world works, how you can affect the world and how your words affect kids. I really want to affect kids and influence and inspire kids to really reach their full potential and live their life goals and go out there and make the world a better place, so if I can do that on this stage, it's a great blessing."
His focus this week is on the Broncos and the title game at MetLife Stadium.
There were no harsh words. He talked about his respect for the Broncos' top-ranked offense, his friendship with Denver receiver Demaryius Thomas and the fact that the blowup with Crabtree led to a good discussion about race relations.
"I think it did have some effect on opening up the channels of communication and conversation and dialogue," Sherman said. "I think I had some impact on it, and I want to have a positive impact. I want people to understand that everybody should be judged by their character and who they are as a person and not by the color of their skin. I think that's something we've worked to get past as a nation, as a country, and we're continuing to work on it. It's healthy. Everything that happened, all the people who sent the messages, who tweeted what they tweeted, it ends up turning around to be a positive because it opens back up the discussion and people begin to get more educated. Anytime you get more knowledge, you're more powerful as a person."
Sherman was put under the microscope after postgame comments in which he said Crabtree is a mediocre receiver. The comments came moments after Sherman deflected a pass to Crabtree in the end zone late in the fourth quarter and it was intercepted, sealing the Seahawks' trip to the Meadowlands.
While he didn't apologize Sunday, Sherman doesn't see himself as the thug some made him out to be.
"I am just a guy trying to be the best," Sherman said. "I am a guy who wants to help this team win. I am a fiery competitor who puts his life into his work and puts his everything into his work. I came from humble beginnings and came from a place where not everyone gets out of. I am just trying to affect the world in a positive way."
Denver cornerback Champ Bailey said Sherman is clearly a great cornerback, one who has gotten attention because of his comments last week. Bailey likes players with personalities and has nothing bad to say about Sherman.
He also understands that people who didn't know Sherman are basing their opinions of him on one glimpse.
"When a lot of people don't know you and that's what you show them, and they haven't heard your name all day, which is typical for a corner who doesn't get a lot of balls, that's the way it is," Bailey said. "That's how it is. People make their judgments on what they see and hear, and if they don't know you they are going to draw their own conclusion. You have to live with it. If you are going to talk, you have to live with it."
In the past week, Sherman said he reached out to Ronnie Lott and Deion Sanders for advice on how to prepare for a Super Bowl. He also downplayed that none of the Seahawks has played in a Super Bowl.
"I've never seen experience play in games," Sherman said, noting the Seahawks had very little experience heading into last week's conference championship game.

Silly comedy based on author Richard Gordon's first book. Gordon is best
known as the creator of the 'Doctor' novels, some of which were
filmed for the big screen between 1954 and 1970, as well as spawning a
seventies TV sitcom. 'The Captain's Table' is very much in the same style:
few near-the-knuckle gags, lots of pretty bikini-clad girls and a veritable
host of old English stereotypes.
Naughty vicars, camp stewards, sexy popsies and batty old ladies abound,
despite a super cast of comedy legends like Donald Sinden, Richard Wattis,
John LeMesurier and Miles Malleson, the movie lacks any real fizz and fails
to be even half as funny as its 'Doctor' cousins. Lead actor John Gregson
no match for Dirk Bogarde or Leslie Phillips, but Carry On star Joan Sims
enlivens the proceedings with a cute cameo as a frumpy spinster.
Worth a look, but don't expect too many hearty laughs.
Like many of its ilk Captain's Table looks like a very typical British
50s comedy and while good fun it's certainly no classic. It's very
reminiscent of the Love Boat TV series with a cast of Britain's best it
should shine - but it's all just for laughs. From a running jokes about
Bridge players, to Donald Sinden's womaniser, it's all pretty much what
you'd expect The women are the stronger characters here, and the plot
is all about them trying to land the new captain. Fun but hardly
However, and it's a huge however, it is one of a handful of films that
should be watched as being one of the better examples of the transition
in British Cinema from social comedies to the more bawdy comedy of
Carry On. You can actually see right up on screen the change coming and
the difference between Genevieve, School For Scoundrels, Passport to
Pimlico, and the Carry On films. The comedy is not Carry On saucy yet,
but sex is a real theme throughout. No one foot on the floor cinema
here. No coyness. There are bikinis everywhere and while not saucy it
ain't coy either. Something happens in cinema around the Bikini Atoll,
1957, where the Big Bang suddenly does seem to liberate its own double
The whole of Captain's Table has characters that will become stock in
the 1960s, a very camp batman, which Kenneth Williams will make his
stock and trade, at the beginning of the film we have a seaman who
could be Sid James, and throughout there are touches and ideas that
Carry On will take and fly with.
If British Comedy from the 1950s is about class: either upper twits at
play or working class succeeding despite authorities, then 1960s is
about the triumph of the working man finding status and financial
freedom. Captain's Table straddles both these with lots of upper-class
twits (the Army Captain in particular) and a more blatant approach.
The film itself is lightweight fluff and fun because of it, but as a
record of the changing point in British cinema it holds a place.
