Haribo Happy Cola Gefullt
Cola is an American flavor, invented in 1886 as a tonic mixed with soda water to cure a variety of ailments. The flavor is a combination of kola nuts, spices and citrus. (If not those actual ingredients, there are detectable flavor notes of them.) Though the drink is wildly popular in North America, it is rare in other forms. It's not a common candy flavor, though it makes good candy. However, Europe seems to have embraced it and Germany has many excellent candies that utilize the unique combination of citrus and spice.
Haribo may have made its name and reputation on gummi bears, but there is one place where I think they do a much better job of creating an exclusive line of candies: Happy Cola. The Happy Cola line is a small group of cola bottle shaped and flavored products. They include the classic Happy Cola, Super Happy Cola (larger sized pieces), Fizzy Happy Cola (sour sanded gummis) and now the Haribo Happy Cola Flüssig gefüllt. These are liquid filled cola bottle gummis.
I first heard about these from CandyBrain.de and knew I had to track them down. This involved a candy swap with Kristian, as you may have noticed, I've had quite a few European candies featured since November and he has been featuring the American candies on his blog.
They're a little different from the regular cola bottles, they're a layered gummi. The bottom is a foamy, stiff marshmallow then there's the honey-like goo and the top layer is the standard Haribo cola gummi. They're about 1.3 inches high.
The effect of all the textures and their variations of flavor work really well together. The gummi itself is soft and chewy, but a bit stiffer than the American-made Trolli or Albanese. The marshmallowy bottom is creamy and has a vanilla note, giving it an ice cream note. The filling has a honey flavor to it with an extra little burst of spice and tartness.
It's a nice combination and something that Haribo could easily expand to include other kinds of soda like ginger ale and root beer (though I had the root beer Haribo introduced years ago and thought they were horrible, but then again, many Europeans don't actually like root beer).

Haribo The Smurfs Gummi
I couple of years ago I found out that Haribo had a Smurfs candy, but it wasn't sold widely in the United States. I did track them down when I was in Germany, and bought a single one, for half a Euro at a Christmas Market in Schmalkalden (here's a photo of me buying it). The individual pieces were large, about half an ounce (see photo) and a generic berry flavored jelly candy.
Now that the second Smurfs movie has been released worldwide (and a third planned since the first one has already made a quarter of a billion dollars worldwide) Haribo did decide to release a version to the United States in pouch packaging. I picked this bag up at Cost Plus World Market about a month after the movie came out.
This version has smaller candies in the traditional gelatin-based gummi style. The bag a little more expensive than usual Haribo candies at Cost Plus - not the sticker price, but the fact that the bag holds 4 ounces instead of the usual 5 ounces for products like the Gold Bears or Happy Cola.
The candies are shaped like the Smurfs. They're predominantly blue with different colors on top. Most are clear on top, to emulate the standard white Smurf Phrygian cap. Papa Smurf has a red hat and Smurfette has blonde (yellow) hair.
The pieces are big, about an inch and half tall.
The blue flavor of the Smurf body is berry. I'd say it might be raspberry and it might be strawberry, it's hard to tell. It's jammy and it's tart and overall, has a good flavor. The colored head coverings are a different flavor though.
Smurfette's hair is lemon. It's mild and pleasant, not as intense as the Haribo Gold Bears, but still goes well with the berry blue body.
The standard clear headed Smurf is pineapple, which I love and think goes great with the berry.
Papa Smurf's red hat is, well, hard to distinguish. If I had to say, maybe it's raspberry and the body is strawberry ... maybe they're the same.
The candies are well done, a little monotonous because of the mostly single flavor but the molding and different shapes are pretty good. If you're keen on Swedish Fish, this might be a fun treat, though they are a gummi, not a jelly candy so they're not for vegetarians. They're flat, not dimensional like the Au'some 3 Dees candies that have also come out with licensing agreements with characters from Nintendo, Monopoly and Kung Fu Panda. Maybe the time has passed when I would have been interested in a Smurf themed candy, but for someone who really likes them, and you're planning on screening the movie, it'd be a fun themed snack.

Haribo Juicy Gold Bears
When I was in Germany a couple of years ago, I picked up a bag of a new Haribo variety of gummi bears called Saft Baeren. They were made with real fruit juice and had a much softer, juicier texture than the traditional Haribo Gold Bears.
Well, Haribo has decided to sell a version of those bears in the United States as Haribo Juicy Gold-Bears. They're coming out now and feature more than 20% fruit juice and no artificial colors.
They're a little different from the bears that I tried. First, the version I tried was made in Germany, and as I found out from my taste test, the German Haribo products are usually the ones I prefer because they're more intense and have a better texture. This bag was made in Turkey. Second, the flavor variety is a little different. The original version had five flavors, this one has six. The flavors are black currant, pear, lime, apple, raspberry and peach. No orange, lemon, pineapple or strawberry.
Black Currant (Purple) is deep and jammy, slightly bitter, in an authentic way with a dry note to it.
Apple (dull green) is very, well, green tasting. It's an authentic apple flavor, like juice, but it's also very green, like someone threw a dash of wheatgrass in there or something.
Peach (orange) is fascinating. It's more apricot if you ask me, and that's probably a good thing. It's quite tangy and has a lot of that balsam note that gives peach their fuzzy flavor. It's a dense and nuanced flavor, done very well, far better than any other peach candy I've had.
Raspberry (red) is a great bear. It's tart and juicy and has a light tannic quality that's kind of jammy and lightly floral.
Pear (clear) is tangy and a little bland compared to the others. It's like a baked pear.
Lime (yellow) is actually pretty boring. It's not as vibrant as the citrus flavors in the original Gold bears.
Overall, the flavors are good, even great, but the actual flavor variety is a little weird. I'm all for not using mainstream flavors, but this mix is just a little too strange for me. There were only two that I liked, and I found myself picking them out of the mix, which is something I never do with the standard Gold Bears. I think the fact that they're using natural colors and lots of real juice is great and I hope that trend continues ... now if they could just do an all citrus mix of bears that way. However, I know that these flavors, since they're so specific and so rare in a mix sold in the US, are going to be someone's favorite.

Haribo Hot Sticks
I saw these Haribo Hot Sticks first on the Candy Gurus site and knew I had to have them.
They're a strange combination of flavors, at least to the American palate. The package describes them as Fruity-Spicy & Liquorice. They're sugar crusted gummis in three flavor combinations: Hot Orange + Liquorice, Ginger-Lemon + Liquorice and Raspberry-Jalapeno + Liquorice.
Haribo is a global confectionery brand, but this package is for the German market, with the majority of the package information in German and a smattering in English.
There are three flavors, but I have trouble telling them apart. The raspberry was easy, since it was pink, but the orange and lemon versions were more difficult.
The texture is soft and bouncy, the sugar crust is fine and adheres well to the candy, so well that there was barely any in the bottom of the bag. Each has a licorice end, and that flavor was consistent across all the pieces. It was very sweet with a mild anise flavor. I'm not usually the keen on Haribo's licorice, but this gummi version was mild and traditional.
Hot Orange + Liquorice - the orange end had a little tangy citrus note and at first, I had trouble detecting anything else, but soon the warming spice of what I can only guess is hot pepper started. It was really just the heat, there wasn't much of the vegetable note to it. The licorice combined well with it, mostly evening it all out and providing a more lingering sweetness.
Ginger-Lemon + Liquorice - this was the flavor that drove me to find the Hot Sticks. I love Haribo's Ginger Lemon gummis, so the addition of licorice sounded great. The earthy flavor of the ginger balanced very well with the herbal notes of the anise-licorice. The tartness of the lemon cut the sugary sweetness of the grainy coating.
Raspberry-Jalapeno + Liquorice - I have to admit that jalapeno is not one of my favorite flavors. The raspberry and jalapeno flavors were well balanced here. The tangy and floral berry notes came right out, but so did the green vegetable flavors of jalapeno along with the very warm notes of the pepper. When I just ate a bite from that flavored end, I found it slightly too hot for me. However, when eating as a whole candy, with the soothing woodsy note of the licorice, it's interesting ... still, it was a bit chaotic. Of all the flavors here, this one was the least successful. But it could just be that I'd never tried that combination before and it was too jarring for me to appreciate.
Overall, it's a really fascinating mix. Each bite is different, and because the flavors are separated on different ends, you can kind of control how much of a mix you get. I'll probably stick with the much more mundane Lemon Ginger, but the addition of licorice, especially this particular version of a gummi licorice, is quite good.

Haribo Tropifruitti
While most Haribo mixes are just different shapes and flavors of the standard gummi, the Haribo Tropifruitti is a bit different.
The gummis are a tropical flavor mix, as you'd expect. The shapes are that of pineapples, toucans, bananas and palm trees. In addition, the texture is a little softer and less chewy than the more rubbery gummis.
I picked up my bag at Cost Plus World Market. It was $1.89, but sometimes they have sales for $1.25 a bag or so if you're a bit Haribo fan it's worth waiting for. This particular gummi candy is made in Spain, unlike most other Haribo gummis available in the US, which are made in Turkey.
What's most interesting about these gummis is not the flavor variety but the style of the gummi itself. It's very different from the tough and clear version of the Gold Bears. These are muted in color and have a sort of chalky exterior. They not shiny or terribly translucent. The coating is a little like a jelly bean, it has a small crunch to it, but not the same graininess. The interior is also not as chewy as a regular gummi, it's a cross between a jelly and a gummi. It's soft, pliable, sticky and juicy.
Banana (Yellow) - this is an exceptionally uncommon flavor for a gummi, so I relished trying it. It's a good flavor, it's a little like a slight unripe banana, in that there's a light tartness to it. But what's missing is that overly fake banana note that comes with the too sweet artificial banana candies.
Currant (Darker Red) - has an interesting balsam note to it, it's less about the florals and more about the woodsy seed flavors. It's definitely not what I would consider a tropical fruit.
Watermelon (Green) - It's lightly tart with a well rounded juice flavor and a little dash of artificial Jolly Rancher to it.
Pineapple (Clear) - this is one of my favorite flavors, especially in Haribo gummis. This did not disappoint. It's sweet, had a strong floral note and a distinct tartness.
Orange Mango (Peach) - tastes a bit bland, like a punch drink. It's more citrusy than mango, but barely either.
Strawberry (Pink) - smells like cotton candy, it's light and barely flavored, but so are many strawberries.
I like the change in texture and thought the Pineapple and Banana were really good, but the vibrant flavor profile I'm accustomed to with many other gummis was missing. So maybe this is for people who don't like a lot of flavor ... like the Haribo equivalent of jelly beans.

Haribo Gold Bears from Turkey and Germany
Haribo Gold Bears stand as the epitome of the gummi bear for good reason. They were the first and they are known around the world. Haribo is so big that they have 18 factories, but only five of them in Germany.
I've been told over the years that the German Haribo products are the best. The Haribo products we most often see here in the United States, especially the Gold Bears, are made in either Turkey or Spain. So while I was in Germany I made sure to pick up a bag of the original version made in Bonn, Germany. Flipping over the bag, it was immediately clear that they're different. There's an extra flavor.
The German Gold Bears have six flavors:
The Turkish or Spanish Gold Bears have only five flavors:
Further, the German Bears are made with all natural colorings. Here's an array of Bears and Bunnies for color comparison:
On top are the German Gold Bunnies, packaged for the American market, in the middle are the German Gold Bears purchased in Germany and on the bottom are the Turkish Gold Bears purchased in the United States.
So let's start where things are weird. First, the Green Gummi Bear. As you may have noticed in the listing above, in the United States, the green gummi bear is Strawberry.
I compared the colors of the Green Gummi Gold Bears because they show the most difference between the countries. The German bear is a light olive color, not a true green. Other than that though, the bears are the same shape and mass.
I thought maybe one was taller than the other, or thicker, but the variations are just that, variations across all the bears. Some are slightly thicker or taller, some have different facial expressions. But there's no real difference in the moulding.
Turkish Strawberry (Green) compared to German Strawberry (Pink): The Turkish bear is just slightly firmer. The flavor (once you close your eyes and forget that it's not lime or green apple) is light and only slightly floral. It's tangy, but not puckeringly tart. Mostly it's a bland gummi bear. The German bear is softer and just slightly more pliable. It's jammy and has a good blend of florals and tartness, and though it's slightly more flavorful, I wouldn't say that there's a huge difference in the intensity, just the nuances. Germany Wins.
Turkish Raspberry (Red) compared to German Raspberry (Red): The artificial nature of the Turkish bear is much more apparent when placed next to the deeper, wine red German bear. The Turkish bear is sweet and tangy, the berry flavors are fresh and have only the lightest note of seeds to them. The German bear is softer and has richer, more dense flavor with more boiled fruit flavors to it. Germany Wins.
Turkish Orange compared to German Orange: this is tough. Both looked virtually the same, and the textures were also so similar. The zesty and tart notes on both were dead on. The German bear tasted every so slightly more like freshly squeezed juice, but that could have been my imagination. Tie.
Turkish Pineapple (clear) compared to German Pineapple (clear): The Turkish version had an ever—so-slight yellow cast to it, which really only showed when I placed the bears next to each other on white paper. Pineapple happens to be my favorite flavor for the bears and this was no exception. The Turkish bear actually had enough tartness to make my jaw tingle. It's sweet and floral and just wonderful. The German version was just as good, but had an extra little flavor towards the end, a more intense thing that I can't quite peg as pineapple zest, but that sort of buzz that comes with fresh pineapple. Even though there was a slight difference, I will indiscriminately gobble both. Tie.
Turkish Lemon (yellow) compared to German Lemon (yellow): Lemon is a great flavor and Haribo really can't fail. There's a wonderful blend of zest and juice in the Turkish version, with so much lemon peel that it verges on air freshener. The German version is more like a candied lemon peel or marmalade, slight more bitterness but still plenty of juice. Turkish Win.
The last one is the German Apple. It tastes, well, like tart apple juice. Honestly, I'm glad it's not in the bags that are sold in the United States, it would be one I'd pick around ... and there currently aren't any Haribo Gold Bears that I don't like.
So if there's an additional flavor in Germany, I thought maybe this Easter Haribo Gold Bunnies version which features little rabbits instead bears and says it's made in Germany would have that apple in it.
It does not.
The Green Bunny is actually strawberry.
But what's more disappointing about these Haribo Gold Bunnies is that they're terrible compared to both the Turkish Bears and the German Bears. Sure, the shape is cute and the colors are all natural, but the flavors are pale and watered down.
So if you're a Green Apple fan, it's worth it to seek out the true German Haribo Gold Bears. If you don't care, then the Turkish version that we've been served all these years is great ... it's not quite as intense, but it's still a good quality product. The other think I noticed is that I paid one Euro (about $1.30) for my 200 gram (7 ounce) bag of German bears ... and I paid $1.50 for my Turkish bears, which only has 5 ounces in it. The German Bunnies were on sale for $1.00 at Cost Plus.

Haribo Ingwer-Zitrone Gummis
When I went to Germany last January to attend the ISM Cologne sweets trade show I spent about as much time shopping at the local stores as I did prowling the show floor for traditional, new and different candies.
One candy that I was actually on the look out for was the Haribo Ingwer-Zitrone gummis. They're ginger and lemon flavored and perhaps a little less mainstream and kid-oriented than many of Haribo's other offerings. I found them at a Rewe market and bought two bags. When I returned to the States I carefully moderated myself to make them last as long as possible. Sadly, they were gone by September.
When I went to Germany a few weeks ago, these were definitely on my list. I didn't find them at the first Rewe (grocery store) I visited but did find them at Kaufhof in Berlin (a huge department store with a large food section) ... I bought everything on the shelf, six bags (they were only .99 Euros each).
The package says that they're erfrischend scharf (refreshingly sharp) which would probably be because it's made with real ginger and lemon.
The pieces look like medallions of candied ginger, complete with a sanding of sugar (well, it's not exactly sugar, it's a sweet and sour sanding mix).
The start out like an ordinary fruit gummi. They smell at a little like lemon peel and have a soft and flexible texture. They're easy to chew and the sweet/sour sand fades away pretty quickly. The lemony flavor isn't very sour, mostly a juicy flavor with a lot more zest in it than most of the other kid-oriented flavors. The flavor of the ginger is subtle at first, just woodsy and maybe even a little bitter. But then it kicks in with a slow and warming heat. The ginger lasts for a while, with a strong finish that kind of burns for a while. They're barely sweet, I don't feel sticky eating them at all - and perhaps the ginger is even good for my tummy.
I know this isn't for everyone, you really have to like both the gummi texture and the spicy combination of citrus and ginger. It's my ideal gummi, probably my favorite thing this year and will go on my list of all time favorite candies.
I even returned the next day to Kaufhof to see if they restocked, but it looks like these five packages I have left are going to have to last me a while. GermanDeli.com sells them, but they're $2.99 a bag plus shipping and their $25 minimum order - that would average out to more than $4 a bag. I'm in love, but not that desperate ... yet.

**First of all I have to say that this game has so many nice features that I will try to enlist them all without writting so much (sorry if I do, but believe me, it's worth it to know ALL this games has to offer!)**
I remember I was looking for a game that was similar to the epic X-Com: UFO Defense and after the semi-deception I got from UFO:Trilogy, I stumble upon S2:SS andread more I end up getting one of the nicest surprises ever as I realized this game is not a carbon copy but it has it's own well deserved earned merits as this is a game packed with very nice innovative ideas and well enhanced gameplay and story line (yes, it has a STORY LINE and a very well told one) that fits into WW2.
After playing it for a while, I was a little bit confused with it's slightly different gameplay, but in a very short time I was able to get into it so smoothly that I didn't even realize that I was now planning and executing very effective and fun tactics in every scenario. And that's where this game marks one of the many difference from X-Com, cause S2:SS is not only about "hide and seek" or "everyone stay still and use a bait to lure enemy into a trap", but you can even load up heavy guns, pack some grenades and let mayhem loose and believe me you will definately feel it, cause scenarios are almost completely destructible (one more reason why you can't just stay behind something and wait for enemies to come to you), so you'll really feel the "power of weapons of mass destruction" in your hands *place evil laugh here* or you'll decide what's best to fit with you since you have here snipers, assault troops, trap setting/disarming experts, MEDICS (you can guess what this implies, right?), stealth masters (picture this: a WW2 asian commando packed with a SMG, a Lugger looted from a high ranked officer and a Katana with some Shurikens instead of the classic and som how monotone silent gun and a knife cliché). Kill your enemies or just take them down with non-lethal weapons. All this multiple tactics are possible due to it's descent A.I. which is more challenging than the one in X-Com cause here you have more ways to finish your enemy (so they do to finish YOU, hehe) and due to the nice and coherent variety of weapons in this WW2 set up. Also you have different levels of difficulty to choose from.
Every commando has life on it's own cause they have their background story. You will learn to love them and hate them (but you will never want them to die cause you'll realize you'll need them for different scenarios).
Scenarios are approached in 2 ways: One spot marked in the world map (explained with a previous plot cut scene) or random encounters which are visible to you in the same map so you can engage them (for experience, weapons, ammo, etc) or avoid if you want to go straight and finish the game (but you'll miss some very fun fights, believe me, like one in a tree-covered-stealth-provider forest against a pack of ninjas... NINJAAAS =D
One good or bad aspect of the game are the loved or hated "Panzerkliens (PKs)". Ok, well, I won't speak to you about them so much now cause they are part of the main plot and since I don't want to spoil anything here, I will just tell you to go over the game as it is the first time and if you don't like them, know there are always MODs to change this and some other stuff from the game and this is why I end up not giving all the 5 stars, and due to other minor things (not worth mention since they are "minor").
So here you are, I mentioned the main features and there are even more to name but it's up to you to find them and believe me, you'll have fun doing it, so just get it and prepare for many hours of FUN playing as the Allies or the Axis (both sides rock) ENJOY =)

Definitely one of the best turn based strategies...well..maybe not of all time, but there were no better TBS around 2004... The physics, havok engine, lots of weapons, this all makes this game so great, that I will probably buy it agaon, even that I have the original box version... :-)

Everyone assumed that Brandon Lyon was blowing saves by the carton because he was Brandon Lyon -- competent and perfectly decent middle reliever, but no one's idea of a dominant closer. Turns out, though, there might be something more sinister at work. From Alyson Footer:
Brandon Lyon is flying to Houston today to be looked at by Dr. Lintner for shoulder weakness.
Lyon's blown save on Wednesday was his fourth of the 2011 season, the same number that cost Ryan Franklin and Jonathan Broxton their jobs. Per the PITCH f/x numbers at FanGraphs, Lyon's velocity has been noticeably down this year, and a fatigued shoulder -- or worse -- would go a long way towards explaining his ineffectiveness. Lyon has thrown 11-1/3 innings this season, giving up 21 hits and three walks and striking out five.
The Astros don't have an obvious candidate to replace Lyon in the closer's role, though Rotoworld is speculating that Mark Melancon might be the pitcher who has first dibs at filling in.

Town Square
No environmental committee
Original post made by Not so fast on May 14, 2007

We have enough committees, blue ribbon panels etc in our city.
We do not need another one. What we need is action by our leaders to deal with the infrastructure, school, library and financial problems facing our city.
unfortunately, our current leader, one-issue Yoriko, is only interested in climate change, which apparently is the flavor of the year for the city council. There does not appear to be any leadership provided by our mayor with regard to the other problems facing our city.
Just an example of where this leads us--do you remember what our last mayor's "issue" was?? It was emergency preparedness. Did this issue get completed to our satisfaction? Apparently not given the response (or lack thereof) to the recent fire in redwood city and the failure to get out proper notification to the residents of PA. However once Yoriko became mayor in January, the issue of emergency preparedness was put on the far back burner (in other words never to be dealt with again during the year).
We do not need new committees with their bureaucracy's to burden our financially stretched city even further. We need leadership by our elected officials and for them to start making difficult choices with regard to budget and other issues,even if it means upsetting some people.
on May 14, 2007 at 2:19 pm
Our globally minded city council can't manage to do the basic things they were elected to do: keep the streets maintained and the residents safe, and the other things local governments normally are expected to do.
Dealing with the many competing interests - like unions and city activists - is difficult and divisive.
And so they resort to cheap grandstanding stunts like this one - pretending that they are doing something besides wasting ever more money - by creating another commission of city pooh-bahs.
Since she's doing absolutely nothing to solve the problems residents have locally, I wish our mayor would stick to photo-ops trumpeting her green credentials and let our strife-crippled city bureaucracy limp along unmolested by her grandiose save-the-world schemes.
This whole thing makes me sick.

You are right, Tyler. I should have mentioned your editorial also and I think that is where I probably remembered the Kleinberg push for emergency preparedness last year from.

Press Release
Who: Steven Bankhead, Sarah Cromarty, Martin Durazo, Katie Herzog, James Krone, Christopher Russell, Jason Yates
What: Stable Mates a group show curated by Christopher Russell
When: Opening Reception October 1 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Where: Da Vinci Art Gallery,
Da Vinci Hall
Los Angeles City College
855 N. Vermont
Los Angeles, CA 90029
Stable Mates
Commercial galleries establish their identities through group-shows that offer a sample of the artists they represent. Arts organizations offer group-shows in which a curator attempts, in some way, to identify the zeitgeist. But it's often the case that the most exciting shows come about when young artists make their first/best efforts, trying to get their voices heard through the din of ideas circulating about the art world. These shows are alive with possibility and struggle, reacting against perceived limitations with a fury for freedom. But most of these shows evolve from friendships and mutual respect.
The artists in this show don't fall into the latter category; they are not young and struggling, though their work buzzes with intelligence and irreverence. They don't have to shout to get their point across because they have already found a sympathetic audience, and their names have already become shorthand for a specific type of work. The artists in this exhibition have moved beyond that initial step and now exhibit as a means of making intellectual stands, or reaching specific audiences. But they've each given agreed to a final fling, the thrill of showing the work of a chosen peer group, because they want to show with people they know, whose aesthetics they are sympathetic to.
It's from this perspective that I've chosen 6 artists with whom I've once shared a gallery and consistently admire. These artists are as individual as they are fearless, experimental and curious. Each achieved a level of recognition for exactly those qualities. There is a shared sensibility that is difficult to identify, but ranges from bookish to destructive, the most concrete relationship between us is that we were once represented by the same gallery; we were Stable Mates.
About the Artists
Steven Bankhead's work has ranged from meticulous drawings of Xeroxed collages, a trompe l'oeil in which hours of labor create faithful reproductions of cheap mechanical reproductions. But Steven's work has moved on to process oriented production giving a nod to favorite painterswhile making paintings through unique means such as "bleeding" paint and smashing painted foliage against the canvas creating something that is an undeniably accurate yet undeniably abstract representation.
Sarah Cromarty cuts and assembles in the manner of a collage artist, though her works are larger, and often have three dimensional elements. She has regularly used poster size found material, but more recently has been using photographs created specifically to create grand narratives of shaman and wizards, and created intricate and dramatic portals into other worlds. She fuses kitsch to the mythical world of William Blake in inventive visions of luscious fantasy.
Martin Durazo uses painting and found imagery to weave intricate conceptual threads that range from narco trafficking to S/M sexual practices. Materials in Martin's paintings always serve double duty, placed for their formal qualities as well as their intellectual associations. Using a mirror as a canvas might provide a visual shock yet it also makes an oblique reference to cocaine. Martin is known as much for his painting as for his party environments, complete with black lights and bongs, undermining the sterility associated with the art world.
Katie Herzog has created numerous bodies of work that involve the layering of dreams, recollections and intensive study—frequently based on her experiences as a librarian, a wilder-than-expected environment. Most recently, she has made work about information sciences, creating pictorial interpretations of stories surrounding the development of computer technology and more recently pointing out the specific history of transgendered people in science and letters.
James Krone's work treads a large territory, extending from an intellectual investigation rather than a style of paint application. He has addressed with a wry and knowing wit in pieces such as "trickle down ergonomics" or a "shooter's chair" referencing both masturbation and the assassination attempt made on Ronald Reagan. More recently, his work is involved with process, paintings that are created by reversing the canvas on the stretcher, so that the traditional back side of the canvas becomes the painting on view, or ritualistically burning the canvas as a means of making a painting.
Christopher Russell has a sprawling practice that involves literary production, bookmaking, drawing and photography. He is best known for pieces in which he scratches drawings through the surface of photographic emulsion, leaving a textured white image over the flat surface of the photograph.
Jason Yates cuts into flat drawings to create 3-D effects, uses reflective Mylar where one expects to see canvas, combines paint and dimensionality to transform seemingly simple line drawings into complex objects who refuse categorization, blurring the lines between media in stylistic nods to cultural touchstones. The optical effects of his repeating patterns of hatch marks are undercut, and literally cut, into a waving forest of semi-circular shapes that is ultimately an abstraction of punk aesthetics, refusing representation in favor of highly controlled visual chaos.

As every new trailer shows, the "Fast and Furious" franchise is slowly inching toward "Speed Racer" with tank tops, but that journey hit a bump last week when it was revealed that 'Furious 6' director Justin Lin would not return for the series' seventh installment. That didn't stop rumors from swirling about that film's villain, but it seems Universal have now made steps toward finding a new helmer, and quick.
Alongside Rob Cohen and John Singleton, Lin has truly shepherded the franchise into a specific brand of bombastic, 'roided-up entertainment. Understandably, in order to fill his shoes, Universal have reportedly narrowed their list of directors down to those adept at adaptations, sequels, and remakes: Jeff Wadlow, fresh off directing "Kick-Ass 2" for the studio, "The Lincoln Lawyer" helmer Brad Furman, and Harald Zwart, best known for his "Karate Kid" remake with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan.
Universal's choice could be coming sometime this week, and we'll see if any of these guys have what it takes to corral Paul Walker and Vin Diesel into the next installment's mode of brilliance. Also, considering the massive box-office haul that "Fast Five" experienced ($626 mil worldwide) -- that the studio will likely replicate with 'Furious 6' this Memorial Day weekend -- Universal knows they could probably stick Michelle Rodriguez's stunt double in the director's chair and get a bankable result. We say go for it, Guiomar Alonso. But her aside, whom else would you like to see possibly slip into the helm? [Latino Review]

Michael Davis. Shoot 'Em Up is one of the better action films in the last decade, and it's absurd he hasn't made anything else while they keep hiring hacks who can't direction and action scene to save their lives to direct movies with nothing but action.

In Pa., 11th-hour attacks on health care
By Angie Drobnic Holan
Published on Monday, April 21st, 2008 at 6:00 p.m.
For all the Pennsylvania policy wonks out there, Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama took a break from Bosnia and flag pins to get back to an oldie but a goodie: health care plans.
Both ads start with the allegation that the other one is on the attack.
"Clinton goes on the attack," says Obama's ad.
"Obama on the attack," says Clinton's ad.
We agree that there are lots of attacks, so let's move on to fact-checking their health care claims. We've checked some of it before, but a few points are new.
• Clinton's ad says Obama's plan will leave 15-million people out . We checked this back in December 2007 and found it to be Half True.
• Her ad also says that her plan will cost taxpayers $1,700 less to cover each person than Obama's plan. We found the ad is taking a broad study and applying it too specifically to Clinton's and Obama's health care plans. We rated this claim Barely True.
• Obama's ad says Clinton is willing to garnish people's wages if they refuse to buy health insurance. What she said is that there will be an enforcement mechanism for the universal mandate that's part of her plan, and garnisheed wages is one possibility. We gave his statement a Half True .
• We also previously checked Obama's claim that Clinton forces people to get health insurance even if they can't afford it. We found that statement Half True .

Saturday, Sept. 21, is the second annual Cotton Game at Texas Tech University, and, for local cotton growers, the relationship is more than just one game a year.
"It helps bring awareness to the community of how important cotton is to our economy," said Kress cotton grower Barry Evans. "The research and support that Texas Tech does for cotton is second to none it's the best there is in the world. The support they give is just unreal be it in breeding, be it in wheat science, be it in fertility, we turn to Tech for answers in this area."
Evans and many other cotton growers are going to the game this weekend, and, for Tech, the partnership has obvious benefits.
"It was a natural fit," said Associate A.D. Blayne Beal. "There's a lot of things going on as far as research is concerned and so we want to tie that all together and really celebrate something that's very special to everyone in West Texas."
The crowd has been asked to wear white to the game in honor of the region's lifeblood, cotton.
"With a sold out stadium on Saturday it's going to be a very powerful message. And, with our television crews talking about that white out and what it means, it's going to bring a lot of attention to cotton," said Beal. "We want to make sure that all know that they are very important to us and they make things turn here at Texas Tech."
Sept. 21 was specifically chosen for the cotton game because of the fall season.
"The fall season brings about football, it brings about cotton harvest, there's just so many things that kind of go together during this time and so the celebrate cotton game is such a natural fit for this time of year," said Mary Jane Buerkle. "It's just a great opportunity for our producers, and, really, our entire industry to be recognized for what they do to help advance one of the biggest pillars of our economy here in Lubbock."
The game begins at 6:00 p.m. against Texas State. Tech will be trying for a 4 and 0 start to the season.

It was a murder that shocked Metro Detroit, two young Family Dollar store employees killed on the job.
A preliminary hearing for their accused killer was adjourned but the court appearance gave the mother of one of the victims a chance to share her son's picture.
34-year-old Lavere Bryant, a former employee, faces two counts of murder in connection with the shooting deaths of the two young people. Police say 20-year olds Joseph Orlando and Brenna Machus were killed earlier this month during a robbery. Bryant was due in court at 8:30a.m. but did not arrive until about 10:50 a.m. The case was adjourned until August 21 by the judge because the defense asked for more time to go through discovery.
FOX 2 spoke with Joe Orlando's mother who was in the courtroom awaiting today's proceedings.
She said her only son was a great kid and was very loving and very protective and she believes that's probably part of the reason why he was killed. He was trying to protect Brenna. Holding a picture of Joe to her heart she believes it's important for Lavere to see her son's picture everytime he's in court.
Although he denied any involvement in the murders at his arraignment Orlando's mother believes Bryant is guilty. "The facts are just too much, I believe he did it," she said.

Emergency imaging of dyspneic cats (Proceedings)
Often our most delicate patients, dyspneic cats demand the utmost efficiency with the minimal stress during imaging. While most radiologist would appreciate 2 or 3 view imaging, the practical clinician will attempt to maximize the stress inherent in radiography with a single view. This session will discuss views, differential diagnoses and "clinical pearls" on radiology of dyspneic cats.
Principles of localization
Reading radiographs accurately requires a method. One method is to quickly review the entire image looking for a recognizable lesion. This "Aunt Minnie" technique serves us so well in so many cases, we are apt to err in using this method to the exclusion of a more complete method. Any method that provides a complete evaluation of all structures is OK with me. I may start with an Aunt Minnie approach but invariably complete the interpretation with a systematic approach.Emergency radiography
Don't kill the cat! Make it quick and as stress free as absolutely possible. Along these lines make sure to measure the cat in its cage. Place the cassette on the tabletop (if you are still analog!), set the technique on you machine and put on your lead all before removing the stressed patient from their little temporary home. Limit your views to those that the cat will temporarily allow, starting with a lateral, up to a lateral of the neck region as clinically indicated. A four-view series is often necessary to sort through all potential underlying regions.
Where is the problem?
The most important interpretation may be to isolate the primary lesion site. Is the disease pleural? Pneumothorax and pleural free fluid must be diagnosed early and confidently to speed definitive therapy. The next most important decision tree branch is; heart or lung? This can often be quite difficult. Concurrent lesions may prevent complete assessment of the cardiac silhouette and therefore our ability to assess cardiomegaly. Often I would perform an quick echocardiogram rather than perform an elaborate radiographic series or consider post-therapy radiographs just for speed of reaching the final diagnosis. Similarly, primary mediastinal diseases warrant an ultrasound examination early in the process for concurrent fine needle aspiration of the causative mass lesion.
Lung lesions
Let's say that the cat has no pleural or mediastinal disease and obvious increased lung opacity. This is where we use the pattern approach for lung lesion characterization. The twist is that the rules differ from basic dog rules. Most important is the rule of cardiogenic pulmonary edema being predominantly perihilar. In cats it may be perihilar or just as likely ventral, multifocal or solitary. In other words, it is a difficult diagnosis to confidently rule-out until echocardiography is supportive. However concurrent clinical signs, such as a murmur, hypothermia, thrombosis, and radiographic cardiomegaly (next section) are very supportive.
Pneumonia looks like pneumonia, except when we consider atypical locally prevalent causes, such as mycoplasmosis, toxoplasmosis, histoplasmosis, and blastomycosis amongst others. Primary lung neoplasia may be a large solitary mass, a la dog, but more commonly appears as a nonconsolidating alveolar pattern. These lesions can be focal or multifocal, unilateral or bilateral, and can overlap quite readily for the patterns seen with cardiogenic edema an atypical pneumonia.
Finally, how can a discussion of the dyspneic cat be complete without a review of asthma? The two classic manifestations are the hyperlucent, hyperinflated appearance associated with the acute phase and the bronchial pattern seen in the more chronic phase. However, a normal appearing thorax is still a viable manifestation of a severely asthmatic cat. In fact asthma (or the latest "in vogue" term/acronym) is the primary rule-out for a severely dyspneic cat with a normal-appearing thorax. As a consideration, remember that infections, such as mycoplasmosis, can have a substantial immune component to the chronic bronchitis. Mineralization is seen with primary lung neoplasia and atypical pneumonia, but not with edema.

J.K. Rowling sold the rights of the first four books to Warner Brothers in 1998 for a reported $1,982,900. Rowling then demanded that the principal cast be kept strictly British. There were many directors that were considered for the job including Steven Spielberg, Terry Gilliam, Jonathon Demme, and Alan Parker.

hi *,
I have a similar issue with my Nokia 5800. If I connect my phone to my PCs via MTP Windows is not able to install the driver for my device.
The troubles occcures on both PCs. My desktop PC uses Windows Vista and my notebook uses Windows XP.
On a thired pc with Windows XP it works fine.
SW version of my Nokia 5800: 11.0.008
thx for your support!

It seems that I have found the cause for this troubles. I have deinstalled the Windows Mediaplayer 11 and installed Windows Mediaplayer 10. After that it works fine on my Windows XP PC.
But this solution is not possible for my Windows Vista PC because Windows Mediaplayer 11 is fixed installed in Vista.

I am happily connecting my 5800 to my XP laptop using pc suite.
I am also failing to connect in mtp mode. It just keeps looping on the found new mtp device prompt
My girlfriend has the N96 and this happily connects in mtp mode.
I would suggest that this means problem is specifc to 5800 not wmp or xp fault.
I have already reloaded mtp without it solving this.
Any suggestions to make this work?
Can you provide windows xp mtp drivers for the nokia 5800

Using Windows XP with latest SP updates.
As suggested above, I rolled back Windows Media Player from 11 to 10. After that, it would recognize the device, but during software update it kept unmounting/remounting the device, and firmware update failed repeatedly. Fortunately, it did not bork my phone. But it did not update the firmware either.
19-03-2009 19:16
I have some news. The problem depends on the storage card. If you remove the storage card the MTP driver will be successfully installed!
Try out and tell me your experiences :-)
20-03-2009 8:37
Hi Dale
I will try that out tonight.
I have emailed Nokia who haven't really engaged with admitting a fault yet. Update software blah blah blah -- it is up to date, there is a problem with your product.
I'll let you know if it works for me or if Nokia suggest anything new.
22-03-2009 1:22
Hi all,
I got the exact same issue. I tried to remove the memory card but it didn' work.
I found the solution in another thread on this forum:
Change into the registry this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PC Connectivity Solution\Configurations\Nokia]
The parameter: "WPDEnabled"=dword:00000001 by "WPDEnabled"=dword:00000000
and it worked.... :-)
26-03-2009 14:47
Parameter change did not have desired effect for me.
I have provided software versions to Nokia who say they are passing to technical team.
I will update here if solution ever appears.
Nokia could just provide a proper way to work with Itunes and maybe I wouldn't care about this anymore...
27-03-2009 18:23
I have removed the SD card and formatted it. After that it works fine.
I have recognized that Windows creates a file on the SD card.
Maybe there was a write protection or something like that. But now it seems to be solved.
Good luck :-)
31-03-2009 10:24
You rule!
I deleted phone in device manager.
Removed SD card and replugged phone into laptop.
Finally recognised as MTP device, confirmed by lovely phone icon appearing in Windows Explorer.
Replaced SD card but the Salling Media Sync software would not read the card, only seeing the phone memory.
Formatted the card and then finally I can use Nokia 5800 in MTP mode and allow sync software to read both memories.
Problem is somehow linked to the SD card which I'll relay to Nokia, shame they didn't suggest that a few weeks ago.
Thanks for your help. I can now propely use Nokia 5800 with Itunes playlists.

Try turning off any Firewall program you have running like "ZoneAlarm" that worked for the same problem with me.
