After trying an offerin from this brewery at the resort down the street, I decided to take the kids to dinner on site and try something. This was my choice. I don't drink a lot of Barleywine so my comparison universe is limited. It's a sweet beer. Smell and taste. Caramel abd vanilla are prominent as is some green apple. Color is nice; copper with a strong yellow haze. Not too bad. The abv is hidden nicely and after one snifter, I may just have another....

I had this on tap at Barley Creek. I'm reviewing it because they need to see this.
Arrived in the typical brandy snifter, a very cloudy dark amber/purple with a rapidly disappearing film of light tan bubbles. No lacing on the glass.
The aroma was dark raisins, prunes, and dates, with a slight vinegar in the back. Some dark malt smells also. Smelled ok, but then...
Tart barleywine? I mean almost overwhelmingly sour. How the hell does a barleywine get sour? At O.G. 1099, it has to be high alcohol, right? Is it designed to be sour? I should have sent it back, but I didn't.
Mouthfeel is at first sweet, then the old sourness storms through.
This is the worst barleywine I have ever had.

Named for an original gravity of 1099, not the year! This 22 oz. bottle was from 2000. Brownish in color with fairly clear ruby highlights and a deep cream colored head. The head needs a little coaxing and doesn't last, but has very fine bubbles a leaves just a little bit of lace throughout the glass. The aroma has a gentle fruit note alongside a dark caramel malt and a touch of hop. The body is medium and the mouthfeel is a little light. The flavor is mainly malt, well balanced with an earthy hoppiness. There's enough hop bitterness to show it's presence, and to balance the beer from being overly sweet, but restrained. Very well done. Very much an English-style barleywine. Easily their most impressive beer. Very enjoyable.

Served on draft in a brandy snifter.
A: pours a mahogany color with a purple(?) highlight to it. About 1 finger of head that quickly dissipates, not surprising to anyone who has ever had Thomas Hardy's Ale.
S: Grain, dark fruit, plum, fig; slight aroma of sweet bread
T: Starts with that sweet toasted bread flavor, moves into the mixed dark fruit, plum, fig, raisin, very slight bit of cherry flavor; finishes with a lingering dry bitterness.
M: Heavy feel is appropriate to the style but average or slightly lighter than other barley wines. Carbonation level was appropriate given the style, on the low side compared to other beer.
D: This is definitely a sipper. I thought about having dessert with this but still had a good part of the day ahead of me. I first had this a year ago and went back for more this past weekend on my annual trip to the poconos.

I had the opportunity to try Old '99 Barleywine on-tap at Barley Creek over Memorial day weekend, while my family was on vacation in the area. I cherished the opportunity to get out though the beer was slightly less phenomenal than I had hoped.
Appearance: Served a dark brown color in a snifter glass. Very nice lacing coats the glass.
Smell: Musky rich thick caramel malt in the nose with a hot alcohol presence.
Taste & mouthfeel: Juicy sweet wet barley malt, thick and muddle tasty mess of flavor with a hot alcohol character and the aftertaste leave me with lot of orange peel flavors coating my mouth and throat. There is a bitterness and at the same time a very sweet jolly rancher candy, over ripe bananas and a bit of pucker sour hot alcohol medium body feel.
Drinkability: This is a sipper beer and one best enjoyed in a 6 ounce snifter. And one is enough.
Hope this is helpful.

On tap at the Barley Creek Brew Pub. 2001 Vintage.
Poured a deep/dark brown color with a very small sized off white head. Aromas of toffee, dark fruits, lightl smoke and light chocolate. Tastes of chocolate, hard toffee candy, some dark fruits, and tart grapes. Sweet with a ightly tart and sour finish. Alcohol content well hidden.
They wouldn't sell me a Growler of this. They said what would anyone want or do with a Growler of beer this strong.

Cask barleywine sounded like a cool idea! Not this one. First, I was sitting at the bar, so I got to watch the bartender pump the beer into a metal glass, then pour from the glass into my snifter (to remove the head) - demonstrating a lack of understanding of cask beer.
Nevertheless, it was presented in a snifter - dark brown with a light one finger head. It lacked the cascading bubbles due to the odd pour, it just looked like an already settled cask beer. I knocked the appearance score down for this as it had just been drawn.
What really made this experience over-the-top bad was very prominent green apple flavor/aroma, probably from poor yeast health producing acetylaldehyde. It was such a strong component that I really didn't notice or feel the need to distinguish other flavor/aroma components.
The mouthfeel was light without the body or alcohol feel I'd expect from a 11% beer.

Twenty-two ounce bottle with a sealing-wax coated cap. Pours a deep, woody brown color with a very think, disappearing head. The aroma is very fruity, with a serious ester and yeast character. Underneath the fruit, theres a bit o alcohol, and a sugary maltiness. I prefer more of a clean malt and alcohol sensation in my barley wines, this one seems to have a chaotic jumble of sensations that dont come cleanly together. Taste is mainly malt, with an alcohol warming. Theres a slightly tart sensation as well. Sugary, and heavy in body its not extraordinary, but worth having nonetheless.

The beer pours a dark brown color with a 1/2" offwhite head that fades to lacing. The aroma is decent. It has a dry, malty scent that boasts of pale, crystal, and some roasted malts along with a mild hop aroma. The taste is average. It has a large burnt toffee flavor that alcohol ridden. It goes down slow and finishes quite dry with some off flavors. There appears to be a subtle smokiness as well. The mouthfeel is average as well. It is a medium bodied beer adequate carbonation. This is an average barleywine. It's just dry with too many off flavors and that alcohol burn. There are many better choices out there.

I had this on tap tonight with dinner at the restaurant. It was awful...
It was served in a brandy snifter and was a murky dark brown with absolutely no head.
Smell was the first indication that this was going to be bad. It had some fruit aromas in it - primarily prunes and maybe a bit of raisins - but beyond that it smelled pretty bad. It smelled sour and a lot like a port wine.
The taste and mouthfeel were just awful. Again, it was sour and tasted like a fizzy, carbonated and cold port wine. It was overcarbonated and only medium-bodied, which added up to make it just plain all wrong. It said on the menu it was aged 6 months...I'd like to know in what? A conditioning tank or a moldy port wine oak barrel? I'd guess the latter before the former.
This is hands down the worst barleywine I've ever had. I don't know how to put it other than that. Avoid at all costs.

Sampled this beer at the brewpub on November 8th, 2007. I am entering this review from nots during the tasting. rest assured I have a vivid memory of the experience.
A-Poured from the tap and nearly to te rim of a 10 oz snifter. 1/8 coating of light tan tight head covered a dark brown liquid that showed ruby highlights. The 1/8 head quickly disapated to nothing but a thin little collar. Minimal sheeting lace that fell quickly back into the glass after each sip.
S-Very earthy and fruity with an alcohol zing. There is definietly some DMS here, sulfur is very evident. Not a good smell.
T-Earthy and spicy hops, sweet fruit, southern comfort, raisans, hint of coffee and chocoalte. Wet cardboard. Not very good, quite a messactually
M-rather thin of body for a barleywine, barely medium, I'd say. Carbonatio is very light, it is nearly flat. I can handle this in a barleywine if there is good flavor to hold it up but...
D-I really don't think I need to go into too much deatil here after what I said above, But I barely madeit through the one, while they packed up a variety case for me. In fact, I began to rethink my purchase while I drank this.

Got it on tap, served icy cold, which helped mask some of the wretchedness. Spuce/juniper dominates the aroma and flavor. If you like that kind of thing, you might like this beer, but I (and my companions) found it completely undrinkable.
If you can get past the spuce (and I really couldn't), it's a cloyingly sweet barleywine, mostly flat, unimpressive mouthfeel and appearance. It tasted oxidized to me, but really hardly a fault compared to the disgusting spuce flavor. Possibly the worst barleywine I've ever tasted, including moldy ones.

I saw the prior reviews...my tasting was not that bad. Unsure if they got a bad batch or what.
It is served in a snifter glass...listed as 9.9% ACV, and while strong, not as strong tasting to me as many other barleywines. Also a little darker in color. The taste was a bit smooth. Decent enough, not my favorite at their brewpub, but clearly drinkable.

When my brother recommended this Barleywine to me I had no idea exactly what I was getting into. This was EXCEPTIONAL. When my friend Jay and I got to the brewery/restaurant, the first thing I asked for was a glass of Old '99 and the waitress told me they didn't have any. I was rather dismayed. But on the tour of the brewing facilities I asked the tour guide when the next batch might be done so that I could stop back again. He told me that they had about a 3rd of a keg left in the back that they were giving out just to tour groups. During our tasting we enjoyed many great beers (I can't wait until their brews are more widely distributed) but waited to have the Old '99 because it would overwhelm the other tastes.
Upon the end of the tasting I finally got my chance. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed by any means!
The color is a deep rich reddish-brown.
The nose is sweet and fruity.
Upon first taste you will notice dark fruit such as plum and maybe even a hint of pomegranate.
The finish is wonderful with slight hints of coffee and dark chocolate.
Overall, this is an amazing experience. If you can make it over to Barley Creek, this is a *must have*.

Reviewed on 07/03/2009. On cask at the brewpub. Pours brown with a thick tan head. Aroma of sweet malt--medicinally sweet-- and acetone. Flavor is very very sweet with some sourness and booziness too. Not terrible but it's good good either. Much too sweet.

News: 2 Chainz Stands Behind Gucci Mane's Meltdown: "This Probably Made Him Feel Better, Embarrassing A Few People" [Video]
Saturday, Sep 14, 2013 2:30PM
Def Jam rapper 2 Chainz is the latest hip-hop artist to offer up a reaction to seeing Gucci Mane lose control over Twitter this week with a slew of disses directed at high-profile entertainers.
Instead of scolding the fellow Atlanta rapper, Chainz applauded Gucci for getting his frustrations out.
"I don't expect nothing less from him. That's my dawg. ... This probably made him feel better, airing it out, embarrassing a few people. It didn't bother me at all, straight up." ("The Breakfast Club")
When asked about Gucci's alleged tweets from earlier in the week, producer Drumma Boy admitted the comments initially surprised him.
"I just saw the tweets. I was in Aruba, so I didn't have Internet the whole weekend. I just got back so when I get to my crib, all my boys ask me if I saw what happened with my boy. I said, "Huh?" That was the first thing everyone said, "You seen your boy?" You never know with Gucci. I get to reading that shit and I said, "Sh*t, if that's how he feels." You know what time it is because of what he was saying." (Complex)
This week, Bad Boy Records' French Montana addressed some of Gucci's comments and said they raised his eyebrows not because of the vulgarity but due to the validity.
The "Pop That" rapper notes that some of the tweets were accurate, with information that only Gucci or someone in his camp could've known. "Whoever writing that, they gotta be real close to him," French told MTV News. "Cause the situation that he was talking about with me, he wasn't lying." Gucci claimed that Deb Antney, Waka Flocka's mother and former manager to a host of rappers including French and Nicki Minaj, had stolen money from her clients. "60 k. French montana. Was. Laying in deb bed. Ask. Warner. 60 k advance I took as insult gave to your aunt t. Im rich bitch" Gucci tweeted. The tweet has since been deleted along with Gucci's profile. (MTV)
Rather than jump the gun, Maybach Music Group's Rick Ross said he hoped the ATL rapper would reach out to him personally if there are any real issues.
"You know, as far as, you know, if somebody needs some help, they need to get it. You know what I'm saying? As far as when you jump out there, when you jump off that porch, you jump. You know what I'm saying? Me and homie, we was always cool. We'll see. I haven't spoke to dog. At the end of the day, for one, I don't move with that Twitter talk. I'm a $50 million dude. I don't move by Twitter talk and all that. You know what I'm saying? Real dudes, they make up. Even if it's a problem, they get on the line. You know, on Twitter, you'll never see Rozay really jump off the porch with Twitter. Regardless, I'm not an emotional person like that." (Hot 97)

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The new year is bringing free rush-hour tow trucks to help keep traffic flowing on one of the nation's busiest bridges.
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development says a tow truck will be stationed on the Crescent City Connection Bridge for three hours in the morning and three in the evening on weekdays - usually 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
"A dedicated tow service truck will speed the removal of disabled vehicles from the bridge during peak hours," Assistant Secretary Rhett Desselle said in a news release.
The state truck will tow disabled vehicles to staging areas where commercial services can take over the towing.
More than 156,000 vehicles a day and more than 33 million a year cross the twin span, making it one the fifth-busiest bridge in the country, according to the department.
It operates two other Motorist Assistance Patrol tow services on Interstate 10 bridges: one on the Mississippi River Bridge in Baton Rouge and the other on the High Rise Bridge in eastern New Orleans
Standard services, including changing a flat tire or jump starting a vehicle, are available in the New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport and Lake Charles regions, according to the news release.

Off Campus Dining Review: Thai KitchenDecember 7th, 2010
By Jessica Currier
Human Nutrition major
Brewer, Maine
Recently, a new takeout restaurant opened up right near campus. It is called Thai Kitchen, and I couldn't wait to try it because Thai food is delicious and good Thai food is hard to find around this area.
Thai Kitchen is located on Park Street in Orono — close to off-campus housing and two of the main entrances to campus. It's in a residential neighborhood in a small, renovated carriage house next to a private residence. Inside, you can see the food being made because everything is wide open. It is very clean and nicely re-modeled. Thai Kitchen also delivers for free in the Orono area.T
For budget-conscious college students, Thai Kitchen runs specials consisting of an entrée such as chicken pad Thai, an egg roll, and dumplings for $5.95!
The menu has many different choices — appetizers such as crab Rangoon and vegetarian egg rolls; soups such as wonton soup, hot and sour noodle soup, and Thai tom yum soup. Dinner optons include house specials, salads, curry dishes, stir fries, fried rice, and noodle dishes. A couple of the house specials are Garlic Chicken, which is sautéed chicken in garlic sauce and broccoli, snow peas, carrots, and peppers; and Orange Chicken, which is deep-fried chicken, breaded, with steamed vegetables, topped with orange sauce. The curry dishes are served with rice and either chicken, pork, beef, tofu, vegetables, shrimp, scallops, or squid. The mango curry sounded very good — coconut milk, mango, green beans, onions, red peppers, and broccol in red curry paste.
But I decided to order traditional chicken pad Thai from Thai Kitchen's noodle selection. This combination of stir-fried noodles, chicken, egg, bean sprouts, scallions, and ground peanuts is considered Thailand's most famous dish It had a bit of spice to it, and was very delicious! I also got an order of the vegetarian egg rolls, and they were great too. The dessert menu looked very interesting. There was sweet sticky rice with mango, sweet sticky rice with custard, and fried banana with honey, all considered traditional Thai desserts. I would like to try the fried banana some day.
I was impressed by the service at Thai Kitchen too, the staff was very friendly and it only took about 20 minutes. It was traditional Thai food and you can't get it any more fresh. I'll be going back to try a curry dish and one of their desserts.Posted in Bloggers, Extracurriculars, Jessica Currier, Off-Campus Dining Reviews

MomentumOptionsTrading.com Midday Update for 1/6/2014
Tough Sledding for the Bulls/ Profit Alert (ARIA)!!!
1:30pm (EST)
We talked about the importance of the bulls getting off to a good start today and that they did as the indexes pushed positive territory on the opening bell. However, the slight rally has once again faded as the bears are pushing our near-term downside targets.
We covered a lot of information this morning along with a ton of chart work because we want you to know exactly what we are watching and looking at. If you haven't logged into the Members Area, please do so and really study the charts. We do all the homework for you to make it easier to follow and predict where the market is headed and by taking 15-20 minutes to study the charts, it will help you become a better trader.
We mentioned this week will be full of headlines that will have a big impact on trading this week. We came into the New Year with a very light portfolio because we predicted a rocky start for January. Although we are looking for one last possible push to all-time highs, it won't hurt our feelings if there is a test to support or a 5%-10% pullback. For that matter, we would LOVE to see a 15%-20% correction because we always remind our subscribers you can make the same juicy triple-digit profits with put options playing a down market as you can playing calls in an uptrend.
There will be a lot of new investors coming into the market that only expect the market to go up. We aren't sure of the exact percentage of investors or the general public that know how to short stocks or play the market when it is tanking but we would say the odds are pretty high, as much as 75%, that investors have no clue how to make money in a down market.
Do yourself another favor and take the time to look at our 2008 Track Record results. When the Dow was tanking 300, 500, and 777 points in a session, the talking heads were panicking and the Wall Street pros were telling you to stay out of the market. This advice was pretty stupid because we show you how you could have made option profits of 200%, 500%, and even 800% – in real-time!
When there was blood on the Street, most investors want no part of Wall Street and while we aren't saying the volatility will be quite like 2008, we do expect 2014 to be a much more difficult environment for the bulls to continue their smooth sailing. In other words, we expect some choppy waters ahead.
We have just wrapped up our 6th-straight year of profitable trades and we are proud to say we have never had a losing year. We have documented Track Records for all of our trades and auto-trading partners that take the trades for our subscribers.
The reason we are covering all of this is because we want YOU to become a better trader and we want you to benefit from the upcoming volatility.
Our option trading course, How to Trade Momentum Options, will be shipping soon and we will have upcoming videos to educate and help you become a market master and better options trader.
We expect the action to heat up in the coming days and weeks and NOW is the best time to upgrade your membership to the 1-year deal as the option trading course is included at NO CHARGE (an $895 value!) and shipped to your doorstep on our dime.
Do you want to know how we predicted Dow 16,000 in February 2013 and a 3,000 point gain by yearend? Or how the VIX would test the low teens or how the Russell 2000 was going to crack 1,000? How about playing a drug stock for option gains of 500% or earnings trades for profits up to 300%? You will learn all of the tricks of the trade by signing up for our 1-year deal.
We wanted to cover our option trading course update one last time as we know many of our current subscribers are eager to get started and with a bevy of new subscribers coming on board, it was important.
As far as the market, the Dow is down 37 points to 16,432 while the S&P 500 is lower by a 5 points to 1,826. The Nasdaq is declining 23 points to 4,108 and the Russell 2000 is off 7 points to 1,149.
These are the EXACT levels we talked about as the next layers of support so today's close will be ultra important.
We have a Profit Alert on the rest of our Ariad Pharmaceuticals (ARIA, $6.71, down $0.44) call option trade. Although shares are down 6% today, our call options made 56% in a little over a month. We could be getting back into this trade again so keep this one on you Watch List!

Many regard nuclear fusion as the main energy source of the future. Among others, the ITER project is seeking to turn this venture into reality and is making use of the Tokamak reactor for this purpose. Reactors of this type have a number of control problems, and to solve them the electronics engineers have come up with some tools.

The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos 43-8 to win the Super Bowl, but that doesn't matter. What matters is whether or not you won Super Bowl squares and made some money.
If you have the square corresponding to the number 3 for the Seahawks and 8 for the Broncos, you're a winner! If you've been playing each quarter, enjoy your $20 or whatever you got. If your friends and family played with just the final score, take a money bath! You've earned it.
Even though the final score of the Super Bowl was extraordinarily weird, the final squares were not. A score of something along the lines of Broncos 28, Seahawks 23 seemed entirely feasible heading into the game. Instead, this is almost certainly the first and last 43-8 game you will ever watch.

Yes, BC fans, we all know about how this coaching staff is the worst one ever and that they need to go NOW, but there were a few diamonds in the thick rough last night. Here are a few.
Manny Asprilla: For a freshman, Asprilla played pretty well. He had a nice sack (especially considering the size difference between him and Manuel) and he also is a good special-teams player.
Spiffy Evans: Worked his butt off on kick returns. Probably the fastest player on the team, he repeatedly broke tackles on returns before he got injured.
The Linebackers: Luke Kuechly was at his best tonight and he certainly impressed NFL scouts. Steele Devitto had a few nice tackles and had a sack. Sean Duggan made a few plays, but he dropped a sure-fire pick-6.
Josh Bordner: BC ran his option plays way too far down. FSU couldn't stop him running the ball. Had a nice pass to Swigert, but he made a bad decision when Finch fumbled.

How to Wear Flats
Nine West Abriami
If you crave comfort when it comes to shoes, you'll be thrilled to know that flats are back in full swing. And whether they're trendy, classic, or somewhere in between, almost all flats look chic and feel fabulous. The only catch: It's hard to know how, exactly, to wear them. Here, our style rules for flat shoes:
Do choose current styles. For late summer and early fall, you can't go wrong with pointy-toed styles in patent or pretty-colored leathers; flats with metal details, such as buckles and grommets; delicate slingbacks; and feminine ballet styles with bows. Don't go grandma style, wearing shapeless flats with rubber soles in dreary colors -- go for black or brown flats only if they're on the trendy side!
Do pair flats with the right skirt length. Flats look best when worn with a shorter skirt (think an inch or more above the knee), since having no heel can make legs look shorter. Showing a bit more leg, then, gains that length back. Look for a skirt with the slightest flare, which adds a modern touch to the look. And don't be afraid, come fall, to pair a short skirt and flats with tights! Don't wear flats with long skirts. Wearing no-heeled shoes with a skirt that falls below the knee is a big mistake -- you achieve a frumpy silhouette.
Do choose your pants wisely. Flats are perfect for summer because they look so great with cropped pants and capris. That flash of bare skin between your shoe and hemline looks chic in a Jackie O. sort of way! Go for pants that are either straight-legged or have a tiny flare for the jauntiest effect. Don't go too long or tight with pants. Pants whose hems fall over the back of your shoe look sloppy with flats (but can be just right with heels). Be sure to hem your slacks so they just hit the top of your foot if you prefer your pants on the long side. And avoid very tight pants like leggings; the combination of flats and leggings went out with the '80s!
And a final do: Do feel free to fudge the flats trend by choosing a pair with a half-inch heel. Even the tiniest bit of height will make legs look longer and leaner, but still tap into the flats trend. Try this Abriami almost-flat from Nine West ($75).

Fergus Cullen: Repeal frenzy in Concord undermines the concept of settled law
In 2011, the new Republican majority reversed a State House gun ban enacted by the previous Democratic majority. The first thing the new Democratic majority did last month was reinstate the ban.
Last year Republicans in the Legislature teamed up with the then all-Republican Executive Council to kill funding for a wasteful study on commuter rail. With Democrats now in charge of both bodies, the boondoggle is back from the dead and on track for passage.
The last Legislature cut the state cigarette tax by ten cents. The new Democratic majority looks certain to restore that cut and then some. The last Legislature expanded the state's existing castle doctrine, allowing people to use deadly force while defending themselves not just in their homes, but in most public places. The new Legislature may repeal the change.
This sort of political ping-pong is a relatively recent phenomenon in New Hampshire. It didn't used to happen because control of the New Hampshire Legislature never changed between the parties. Republicans dominated since the Old Man of the Mountain was a kid.
Those days ended in 1998, when Democrats rode Gov. Jeanne Shaheen's coattails to a 13-11 majority in the state Senate. That tenuous majority was short-lived: Republicans earned back a tie when Tom Eaton won a special election in Keene and they regained the majority the following year, but it was a harbinger. The permanent majority was no more. In 2006, Democrats took control of both chambers of the Legislature. The GOP got control back in 2010, and last year Democrats retook the House, but not the Senate.
The result is there is no such thing as settled law anymore. The last Legislature repealed the state's minimum wage law. The new Legislature is poised to repeal the repeal. The last Legislature passed a voter ID law. The new Legislature will vote on repeal.
It's not always bad to revisit past laws. Abolishing slavery and prohibition come to mind. The last Legislature repealed, in bipartisan fashion, the LLC tax crafted by then-state Sen. Maggie Hassan. It tried to end New Hampshire's participation in the failed Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. The new majority did the right thing last month when it got rid of the Redress of Grievances Committee, itself reinstituted two years earlier, which had become a forum for angry dads with axes to grind against judges and ex-wives.
Nor is it bad to remeasure support for perennial issues when popular sentiment is shifting over time. Support for observing Martin Luther King Day grew for years before it passed. Efforts to repeal the death penalty advanced in 2000 and 2009, stopped by veto threats from Govs. Shaheen and John Lynch. Now New Hampshire has a death row inmate and new Gov. Hassan favors repeal.
But most repeal efforts in Concord these days are more about ideology and symbolism than they are about sound public policy. In too many cases laws are being reversed before they are given a chance to work, or the repeal seems motivated by grudges against former House Speaker Bill O'Brien and his pet causes.
A case in point is the Democratic effort to repeal New Hampshire's new education scholarship tax credit, a pilot program that offers hope for access to better schools to a couple hundred children. The program hasn't even been implemented yet and Democrats are already suffocating it in the crib. This repeal effort puts Democratic loyalty to teachers unions ahead of kids.
Republicans have made their own mistakes pushing repeals on ideological grounds. Last March, social conservatives tried to repeal New Hampshire's gay marriage law, asking legislators to take away a right that had already been bestowed. The measure failed when a majority of Republicans voted against it, suggesting the majority should never have taken the measure up in the first place.
Voters have little patience for Legislatures they perceive as more interested in scoring ideological points than improving people's lives, and constant repeal efforts can wear out a new majority's good will in a hurry.

Ten games into the season might be too soon to draw any big conclusions, but there is one positive development so far in the Celtics' season: the offense doesn't suck.
As of today, Boston's is ranked eighth in the league in points per possession, comfortably ahead of the 10th place team. For a team that ranked 25th in the league last season and was league average or worse the previous two seasons, this is marked improvement, and a cause for much celebration. You don't win championships when your offense is ranked 25th in the league, no matter how all-world your defense is.
Before the season, I thought that if the Celtics could improve their offense league average, they would, with their all-world defense, have a puncher's chance of contending; if they ranked in the top 10, they would have to be considered legitimate contenders. Mission accomplished, so far.
(Of course now the defense has taken several steps backwards, but I'm less worried about that, for several reasons: Kevin Garnett is only playing 28 minutes per game; there are lots of new players learning the schemes; and we don't have Avery Bradley. Even so, the Cs just this week moved from 25th to 19th in defensive efficiency; it seems safe to say that by the end of the seasons they will be a top-five defense.)
So why is the offensive suddenly so efficient and effective? Well, in part that's due to a slight increase in the team's effFG% and TS%, which are both up a couple of percentage points from last year. This is somewhat surprising to me, given that the offense lost Ray Allen's highly efficient three-point shooting and that Jason Terry and Courtney Lee started the season not shooting the ball particularly well. But still, despite the uptick in percentages, the team's league rankings in those categories are nearly identical to where they were last year. Which means the increased efficiency ranking comes from elsewhere.
But where? Well, from what I can tell, after some quick poking around the stats sites, the sources of the increase seem to be in two areas: free-throw shooting and turnovers. Fortunately, these two areas would seem to be both sustainable and indicate an offense that is working to the strengths of its personnel. This is very encouraging.
First, free throws. Last year, the Celtics ranked near the bottom of the league in FTAs per game, FTAs per possession, and, despite having a roster full of great free-throw shooters, FTMs per possession. This year the team ranks in the top five in each of those categories. For a team that doesn't have a dominant post presence (well, except for Paul Pierce, who doesn't go there enough) and that doesn't shoot many three-pointers, getting easy points from the free-throw line is essential. Last year the team didn't get many; this year, they are getting a lot. My quick, unscientific calculation is that the Cs are getting about 3.5 more points per 100 possessions from free throws than they were last year. That's a huge jump.
Where does the difference come from? I can't speak authoritatively because I haven't dug into the shot charts or lineup differentials yet--hopefully later this week--but logic would indicate two things: the offense is relying less on jump shooting and Ray Allen three-pointers and more on the work of slashers and drivers like Terry, Pierce, and Rondo, which means more fouls drawn. Again, that's based on intuition, not logic, but either way, five more free-throw attempts per game for this offense is huge.
Second, turnovers. In the Garnett era, turnovers have been a problem for the Celtics. Even in the years in which the offense was humming, they usually were at the bottom of the league in the percentage of turnovers. This year so far they are eighth-best in the league. For a team that shoots as efficiently as the Celtics do, this is a huge turnaround. Five fewer possessions wasted per game on turnovers means about three points more per game for the offense.
It's hard to tell why the turnovers are happening less they have in the past, but it seems fewer offensive fouls are at least part of the reason. It also helps that both Pierce and Rondo, our two biggest ball handlers, have lower TO percentages than last season, the former quite a bit lower, the latter a little bit so. Whatever the cause, this trend feels sustainable to me.
So there you have it. The PPP differential between this year and last is almost wholly attributable to more free throws and fewer turnovers. This would seem to be great news for the Celtics, as the increased efficiency seems to be due not to some unsustainable thing like high long-range-shooting percentages. The team seems to be playing to the skills of its roster and is making a conscious effort to keep a hold on the ball, two things that should be sustainable for the rest of the season.
Now, if we could just get the defense to catch up.

Hershey's Milk Chocolate Krackel
For many years I have chronicled the demise of once-great candies that were cultural touchstones for generations of Americans. The usual trajectory of a candy like this is that the company making it compromises too many times with cheaper ingredients and formulas until consumers lose interest in the product entirely and it is quietly discontinued. No one misses it much, because it broke their heart before it died.
It's rare to see a reversal. I'm glad to be here to tell you about it. Hershey's Krackel bar was one of the last candy bars that Milton Hershey personally developed before he passed away. It was introduced in 1938 (and had nuts in as well, for a time). When the Hershey's Miniatures were developed, it was one of the bars chosen to represent the favorite of the Hershey bar assortment. The single-serving bar always stood out at the candy counter, in a bold red wrapper and large letter with a made-up word for the name.
In 2006 Hershey's discontinued the single-serving, king-size and larger sizes of the Krackel bar. It was still included in the Hershey's Miniatures ... but with a substantial change to the formula, it was now "made with chocolate" but also adulterated with other vegetable oil fillers. (What they were, I can't say, because Hershey's would not disclose the ingredients at the time, though later packaging did list each bar separately.) At the same time Mr. Goodbar continued to be produced in all sizes, though they did move to the mockolate recipe.
With some small fanfare Hershey's announced the return of the Krackel bar, citing shareholders as part of the reason for the return. The change to real chocolate was made in miniatures early this year and the bars returned in May. The current ingredients are:
I can't exactly recall the actual Krackel bar any longer. I know I liked it as a kid and I know that I preferred it in the miniature version, because the chocolate was thicker. But other than that, I'll have to judge the Krackel on its current merits without any comparisons because I don't have a time machine and if I did, I probably wouldn't use it to taste old candy recipes.
The bar smells sweet and lightly milky. It's not like the regular Hershey's chocolate that has that yogurty tang. Instead it's just sort of fudgy, like cheap frosting. The crunches are good, they're spaced out a bit, so it's not terribly airy, just crunchy. Crisped rice often has malt in it, as this does, which usually gives Krackel a sort of malted-milk-ball-in bar-form vibe. Sadly, there's not much going on here, though the hint of salt keeps it from being too sweet.
It's much better than the previous mockolate version, though a far cry from being a good chocolate bar. It's simply a passable candy bar.
I did pick up a Nestle Crunch bar at the same time, which has gone through a few formula changes over the years as well. The ingredients are similar, they're both 1.55 ounces, though the Nestle has 10 more calories.
The ingredients on the Nestle Crunch are actually a bit better, with no preservatives or PGPR. When I tried the bar last time, I found it much better than previous versions, but not something I was likely to seek out.
As you can see from the comparison of the bars, the Crunch is on the bottom and has a lot more crisped rice in it. I did prefer the airy texture and crispy rice, but the chocolate flavor was nearly impossible to discern. As a piece of candy, it was passable. As a chocolate bar with crisped rice, it was very disappointing.
The Hershey's chocolate texture was a bit better, but that could be that there was just a slightly higher chocolate ratio, since there were fewer crisped rice bits.
Neither comes out a huge winner, really. I like both package designs. Both are made in the United States. Neither Nestle or Hershey's are using ethically source chocolate yet. (Though Nestle does have a "Cocoa Plan", its little seals are just to direct you to information about its plan, not as a notation that this bar is actually using traceable cacao.)
You can see more examples of classic Krackel wrappers here.
I'm still going to say that the Trader Joe's Crispy Rice Milk Chocolate is my favorite. Though the ingredients don't differ that much, there are no preservatives and no PGPR and it has 18% cacao content (about 1.5x the amount of Hershey's). Still ... even though it's made with Belgian chocolate, I don't know the sourcing of it, but would like to see Trader Joe's give some assurances about the ethical sourcing in the future.

Brach's Carrot Cake Candy Corn
Candy Corn gets a lot of different flavor treatments for Halloween, but for the most part the Easter versions are all about little spring shapes in the form of mellocreams in light fruity flavors. Brach's has introduced something new to go with their Pastel Candy Corn, it's called Brach's Carrot Cake Candy Corn.
The packaging is simple, just a thick plastic bag. The image on the front depicts a cake with white frosting and a green and orange carrot on it. Down in the other corner is a small basket of the candy corns.
As a side note, Brach's, the 110 year old candy company, has been going through a lot of changes lately; this seems to have led to an identity crisis. I picked up this bag of candy last month which is also a new product but features a different logo which I thought they stopped using around 2011 (but also appears on their twitter). Brach's is now owned by the Ferrara Candy Company, which merged with Farley's & Sathers last year. This is a huge company now that makes mostly sugar candy like Trolli, Lemonheads, Atomic Fireballs, Black Forest Gummies, Now & Later, Rainblo Gum, Jujyfruits, Chuckles, Bob's and Fruit Stripe Gum. It seems like this constant change and shift of directions is keeping Brach's from regaining their place in the world of classic American comfort candies.
My first instinct on these, without even eating them, is that the colors are all wrong. A slice of layered cake would be a sort of light brown color with flecks of orange and then the off white cream cheese frosting. There is no green in a carrot cake, unless you make some of the frosting green. If they wanted the candy corn to just look like carrots, then make them all orange with the wide base getting just a touch of green to simulate the carrot top. To simulate a slice of cake, I'd make the top and bottom white and the center orange. Why it's candy corn is an entirely other matter ... why not make little slide of cake shapes? Brach's already makes cute little shapes for their Halloween and Easter Mellocreme mixes ... why not a slice of cake or little carrots or a block of Philly Cream Cheese?
While I had some misgivings about the coloration, everything else about these is extremely well done. Unlike my problems with the Brach's S'mores Candy Corn last fall, which were quite broken and brittle, these looked great right out of the bag. I saw very few malformed or incomplete kernels and they stayed in one piece for the most part.
They didn't smell like much, and honestly I didn't think much of them the first few I tried. I noticed, though, that the base had a mild spice cake flavor to it, it's subtle but there's a note of cinnamon and nutmeg. The overall piece had a slightly creamier note, with what I can only guess is supposed to be a cream cheese flavor. Again, it's very subtle.
I had to compare the mild flavor to regular candy corn, naturally, so I picked up the Brach's Pastel Candy Corn, since they were on sale 2 for $5. These are much more subtly colored, with only the corn base getting a pastel note of green, pink, purple, green, or yellow. I enjoyed these, particularly because there was less artificial coloring in them, so the clean flavor of sugar and a touch of honey came through a bit brighter than in the fall version which has more orange (and Red #40) in it. I did notice that some of the flavors, like the cream cheese twang was missing, so it wasn't something I dreamed up. I also noticed on the nutrition panel that the Pastel Corn has more salt in it, 100 mg per serving compared to 70 mg for the Carrot Cake.
I liked the Pastel Candy Corn, but I liked the Carrot Cake Candy Corn better, perhaps because there was a vague flavor to it. Is it a successful simulation of cake? Not by a long shot, but taken as a candy on its own without its bakery reference, it's quite pleasant.
Like other Brach's candy corn, this is made in Mexico. It does have honey as an ingredients, as well as gelatin, so this is unsuitable for vegetarians. It's made in a facility that also processes milk, eggs, peanuts, wheat and soy.

It's a new year and time for a new variety of Skittles.
This year's flavor variation is called Skittles Desserts and features five different colors themed on dessert creations: Orange Creme (peach), Raspberry Sorbet (red), Strawberry Milkshake (creamy pink), Blueberry Tart (blue) and Key Lime Pie (bright green).
The pink package was pretty easy to find on the shelf. The current varieties of Skittles are the Original Fruits (now with green apple), Wild Berry, Sours, Tropical and Darkside. For Easter there's also a pastel version of the Original Fruits.
Orange Creme is kind of pointless. It's absolutely like an orange sherbet, which is to say, orange with all the great things taken out. The addition of the creme flavor component gives it a sort of Play-Doh flavor note that's a little too fake milk. There's no zest, though a light tartness.
Raspberry Sorbet has a strong floral note and only a light tartness. There's also a bitter aftertaste for me, perhaps the food coloring. Overall, it's a nice flavor that combines well with the others.
Strawberry Milkshake is comforting. It's just strawberry with a sort of yogurt note. It's not as floral or as tart, just sweet and slightly creamy.
Blueberry Tart is tough to say succeeds. It does have a lot of blueberry flavor in it, both the deep boiled jam note and the sort of tart and tannic tea flavors. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a dessert like a berry tart, it's closer to a fresh berry flavor though that's not a bad thing.
Key Lime Pie is absolutely disappointing. I've had a lot of key limes, both fresh, frozen and mock versions. Key limes are definitely different from the standard Persian limes in both the flavor profile and texture. This lime is more Persian than Key. It's tart, but not overly so, but misses that milky, sort of chalky note that key limes have.
This flavor assortment was lackluster. There were no stand out flavors, nothing new. It's just a series of small tweaks to flavors that we've all seen before from Skittles. I didn't think they combined particularly well, which is usually one of the features I like best about Skittles. Since the loss of the Lime Skittle in the Original Fruits variety, I'm left without a favorite Skittles package. I haven't bought them since I stopped finding the bags with the original variety in them. In last year's review of the Skittles Darkside, I listed a few ideas for new mixes (including Skittles Pies, kinda what they did here).

Chuao Honeycomb & Potato Chip Chocolate Bars
I'm quite fond of Chuao Chocolatier's bars, which are made in Southern California. The packaging is spare but eye-catching and distinct. I've come to know the brand well enough to be able to spot a new bar on the shelf easily because of the color-coding. One that I'd been looking forward to finding is the Chuao Honeycomb 60% Cacao. The bar is a Dark Chocolate Bar with Caramelize Honey.
I was excited about this bar because Chuao used to make a fantastic item for local Whole Foods markets. It was a thick bar with large chunks of sponge candy (here they're calling it honeycomb). I haven't seen it in the market for several years, so I was hoping this bar would be a more widely available version.
The back of the package has a more enticing bit of marketing copy: The Honeycomb bar is a sweet bouquet of silky dark chocolate and crunchy, caramelized honey. Its pleasing layers of tropical flavors and contrasting textures seduce chocolate lovers like bees to a flower.
Chuao uses non-GMO ingredients, including the soy lecithin and the corn syrup for the honeycomb. chuao also sourced their chocolate through a project called Aguasanta Growth Initiative in Venezuela.
The bar has a wonderful decorative design for its mold. They're changing their packaging yet again, so keep an eye out for the newer designs. Here's a peek at the ChocoPod version. (Here's what they looked like back in 2006 when I first tried them.) While it's fun to look at, it is a little more problematic for portioning. The bar doesn't break evenly around the "pod" pieces and of course it's harder to tell how much of the bar you have eaten. (Besides all of it. That's easy no matter the shape.)
There were a few little voids at the bottom where the mold didn't fill properly and the same on the bottom of the bar where there were bubbles.
The bar is deep and toasty. The chocolate has a coffee note to it but is complemented by the burnt sugar flavors of the sponge candy. It's a clean toffee note, with no hint of butter, just the scorched honeycomb. There are some hints of minerals and an earthiness to it. The honeycomb provides a little texture, though it has a bit of a crunch, it also dissolves quickly, like shards of cotton candy.
I was hoping for a bit more differentiation between the chocolate and the honeycomb, at least as far as the textures.
It's funny that I had to go all the way to Pennsylvania to find a bar that's made right here in California (and that I've been looking for in local stores). But it makes sense that Pennsylvania would be the target market, they're the folks that make such fantastic pretzels and have innovated so much in the sweet and salty combination. I think I found the Chuao Potato Chips in Chocolate 41% Cacao bar at Wegman's, and it was even on sale.
The package says that it's an Ultra Premium Milk Chocolate Bar with Kettle Cooked Potato Chips.
The bar is made from all natural ingredients, the potato chips are made with sunflower/corn and/or canola oil and this wrapper does not say anything about GMO ingredients.
This is an odd bar. I can't quite put my finger on it. Part of it may be the inclusions. As you can see from the photo, the bits of the potato chips are quite small, I'd call them potato slivers or shards. So the texture doesn't allow for a full bite of potato chip, but more of the flavor without the crunch. The chocolate smells milky and has a wonderful, silky melt. The chips are at once light and dense. They have a strong crunch, even for their small size. They're salty and earthy, with a rooty, potato skin flavor to the that's common to the kettle cooked variety of chips.
In both bars I wanted more of the inclusions ... but it's hard to fault these bars when the chocolate is so good as well. Chuao never disappoints me with their chocolate. I think my favorite bars are still the Chinita Nibs and their Coffee and Anise bars, which are both rather hard for me to find as well.

Norfolk Manor Crunchy Nuggets
While cruising around for Christmas candy at the grocery store after a dentist appointment I spotted these Norfolk Manor Crunchy Nuggets. They're British, I know this because there's a Union Jack flag on the front of the box. (Which leads me to believe that this is not a product or brand that's actually sold in England.)
The candy is similar to the Cadbury Crunchie or Violet Crumble bars, a chocolate covered nugget of sponge candy. I can find sponge candy at local candy shops that make their own candy, like Littlejohn Toffee, but they usually do big hunks of the stuff covered in either milk or dark chocolate. The appeal with this product is that they're just little nuggets in various shapes and sizes, easy to grab by the handful and snack on.
The box says that they're Milk Chocolate Covered Honeycomb Pieces but in reality the coating does not actually meet the American standard for chocolate, as there is whey in there (considered a substandard filler). So, it's actually mislabeled.
Inside the rather large box is a much smaller packet of candy. I'd say that this is also misleading, there's no need and no expected settling for this much candy, which took up about half of the volume of the box. Even if the cellophane pouch that held the candy was completely full, it wouldn't have filled more than 2/3 of the volume.
The nuggets are cute and appealing. They're shiny and well coated. None of them were left with little bald spots, which with sponge candy can allow moisture to deflate them.
The honeycomb or sponge candy texture was not as foamy or flavorful as I'd hoped. It was more like Violet Crumble's dense texture than the Cadbury Crunchy's pumice type of foam. The flavor of burnt and toasted sugar was missing for the most part, which is too bad because the mediocre, fudgy and milky chocolate-style coating isn't good enough to make up for it.
I'd find these passable in a mix of other better candies, like some plain nuts, pretzels and chocolate covered nuts. The texture is definitely good but lacks the best qualities of sponge candy and actual good milk chocolate.
I've had the package for over month and only managed to finish them up while playing video games after Christmas. (Which is to say, mindless eating.) My opinion of Norfolk Manor isn't very high after tasting their knock-offs of other iconic British standards like Wine Gums and Jelly Babies.
The package says that it's made in a plant that processes peanuts and tree nuts. Contains soy and dairy. But it's gluten free.

Russell Stover 42 Chocolate Mini Bunnies
Easter, along with most candy holidays, is a time to go big. Candies come in jumbo sizes like chocolate rabbits the size of real rabbits, filled chocolate eggs the size of ostrich eggs and of course larger than normal malted milk balls.
It was fun to see a micro about-face from Russell Stover with their new 42 Chocolate Mini Bunnies.
It's just what it says, a bag of mini chocolate rabbits, at least 42.
I spotted the package at the check out stand at Ralph's. In fact, I never would have spotted it and bought it if I hadn't ended up making such a mess of my self-check out and had to get into a regular shopping line. (The self-check lines have no impulse buying area.) I was surprised to see it because I looked over the Russell Stover website at the beginning of the season to see what was new, but this doesn't even exist there.
My bag had 47 Mini Bunnies in it. I don't know if it's because it's by weight or because they just wanted to call them 42 Chocolate Mini Bunnies, as if the number 42 had some literary significance.
The smell sweet and little milky and perhaps a little musty (but chocolate can do that when left out in the air for a while, especially milk chocolate).
They're quite small and cute. They do get a little scuffed up tumbling around in their bag, so it's not a glossy molded bunny. Each is about three quarters of an inch.
The bunnies are soft and a little crumbly. At first they didn't melt well, but it has been a bit chilly lately so it could have just been temperature. There's a waxy feeling to them when I first chewed them. Letting them melt without chewing gave a pretty smooth melt though. It's very sugary but has a strong dairy and roasted cocoa flavor to it. Honestly, they were quite tasty. I was surprised because I don't really buy Russell Stover candies expecting good chocolate. It's more on the candy end of chocolate but at least it's real.
My biggest problem was how hard it was to just bite off the ears.
For parents looking for a little treat without artificial colors in it, this is a fun seasonal item. It also might be a good idea for Russell Stover to sell these in the baking aisle in larger bags for decorating cupcakes or as an ice cream topping for Easter Sundaes.

Milka L'il Scoops
Milka is a chocolate confection brand that originated in Switzerland and is now made by Kraft at several factories in Europe. Since Kraft is a global food giant, it makes sense that they're going to make as many of their brands global as well.
You might notice that I said chocolate confection brand. The reason Milka doesn't qualify as actual chocolate is a little complicated. In the United States (and many other countries), chocolate can only contain cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar and milk (the standards of identity). If there are any other vegetable oils or solids in there (aside from inclusions like almonds or crisped rice), then it has to be called chocolate flavored or a confection. Milka contains both hazelnut paste (that's certainly not a bad thing, but there's not enough to kick it into giauduia territory) and whey, which is a milk protein. I like Milka. As a confection alternative to pure chocolate, I prefer the addition of nut paste and a milk sugar/protein elixir instead of partially hydrogenated palm oil.
Kraft doesn't seem at all concerned about the technicalities of Milka, it's spreading the bars and candies worldwide on the strength of the milk part of the product, not the cocoa. In the past five years I've seen them in stores in the United States quite a bit more, not just at import themed stores like Cost Plus World Market, but also at big box retailers like Target. I found this little Easter treat called Milka L'il Scoops at my local grocery store, Ralph's.
The candies are described as Milk chocolate confections with creamy mousse filling.
The packaging is precious. It's a real egg carton, in the sense that it's made from recycled pulp though it's bright purple instead of a muted color. The carton has four little sections that hold the foil wrapped egg confections. At the center of the package is a little stack of two purple spoons for eating the filling. Yes, it's a lot of purple. (Kind of confusing, as many Cadbury items are also identified with purple which is also owned by Kraft.)
The eggs themselves are actually egg sized. I threw a Grade A Large Egg in there for comparison. I'd call these medium eggs, they're about 2.3 inches high and 1.2 ounces though a little lighter than an actual chicken egg which are about 1.5 ounces.
The foil is thin but not wrapped so tight that it's hard to get off, like I sometimes find with Cadbury Creme Eggs. The egg inside the wrapper is scored with a thinner shell at the top.
The eggs are to be eaten like a soft boiled egg. The top of the egg shell (chocolate confection) is removed and the little spoon is used to scoop out the filling. This actually works just as advertised. It was easy for me to either bite it off cleanly, or pinch the top gently and pull it off. (I suppose the spoon may be a useful tool as well, since the shell is quite soft and who cares if you get a little chocolate in the filling like you would with a real egg.)
The Milka chocolate confection is sweet and a little nutty, it's soft and has a good fudgy melt. The cream center is frothy and buttery, almost like a buttercream frosting or whipped topping. It's made of sugar and fractionated palm kernel oil so it's a little oily on the tongue.
Overall, I preferred breaking the chocolate up and eating it with the creamy center instead of eating the center straight. Maybe if it was flavored, like a frothy hazelnut paste cream I'd be happier to eat it straight.
I liked this far better than I thought. I was fully expecting them to be another version of Cadbury Creme Eggs. Instead I found that the quality of the shell was better and the creme was actually not so sweet.
These are super calorie & fat bombs. Each one has 190 calories (158 per ounce) which is far more than a CCE. They're really overpackaged, but at least everything is recyclable. (Well, maybe not the spoons, but I plan on reusing those for quite some time.) They're expensive, at least twice the price of most other holiday eggs, so make it special. These are also called Milka Loeffel Chocolate Filled Eggs and sell for about $8.00 online, so I was fortunate to get mine for only $4.99. For that price I'd prefer something with a little bit better quality ingredients. However, if this is a favorite of someone you love, then it's all worth it.

Tjerrild Flicks
For over eighty years folks enjoyed a simply little candy called Flicks. They were disks of chocolate (or mockolate) like large chocolate chips sold in foil wrapped tubes. Great for munching at the movies or sharing with the kids.
They were originally made by Ghirardelli starting in 1904 and over those decades they never changed. Seriously, never altered the manufacturing equipment at all. So it shouldn't be much of a surprise that eventually the machines broke down and couldn't be easily repaired. Instead of developing a new process Ghirardelli simply stopped making them. But folks missed them, so after sitting idle, in 2004 the Tjerrild family bought the trademark and rights to the candy and set about repairing the old machines. Though the actual machinery is no longer in Racine, Wisconsin, but now in Fresno, California - they still use the same Ghirardelli mockolate formula.
The package is simple. It's a cardboard tube covered in foil that wraps around and into the ends to close them up. Then they're covered in plastic wrap to protect the freshness. (I believe they're change it this year and putting the candies inside into a plastic baggy and getting rid of the overwrap.) The tube is about 5.25 inches long and about 1 inch in diameter, about the same as half of a paper towel core. The foil comes in four colors, for no particular reason I guess: red, blue, gold and green.
I admit that I've been hesitant to review these. I've had Flicks before, probably 30 years ago and recall them being cheap tasting (even then I knew the difference between real chocolate and substitutes). But enough people were pining for them that they were brought back after 15 years out of production, so the narrative of something being brought back from the dead is compelling.
The disks are between 1/2 and 3/4 of an inch in diameter.
The pieces don't smell like much at all and look rather waxy. The texture at first isn't very encouraging, it's waxy and immediately gives off sweet and powder milk notes. But then it gets a little creamier as it melts, it's a little malty, a little bit of salt in there. It's very sweet. They're not so much a chocolate as a simple kind of mockolate tablet. I can't say that I love them, but didn't mind eating them as much as I thought.
Overall, I have very little interest eating these when there are so many better things I can do with 220 calories and $1.39 that don't contain palm oil. Ghirardelli makes such nice baking chips, it's a shame these can't just be those.
Here's a little factory video, which is so utterly charming that I forgot I didn't like them that much.

(£25.84 Including VAT)
Era is a UK based company that has been in business for 150 years, The only reason they are able to still enjoy continued custom for this amount of time is due to their extremely high standards and affordable security products such this Era high security fortress. This dead lock also complies with the BS3621 British standards, making it insurance rated and therefore suitable for wooden front and back doors. Dead Lock
BS3621 Insurance Rated
5 Lever
Rebate Kits Available
Suitable for wooden front or back main exit doors
Can be Keyed alike with ERA high security Sash lock
2 Keys Supplied
UK Manufactured by ERA
Hi, guys. My name's Darrel, I'm head of the Tech Team here at
LocksOnline.co.uk and thanks for tuning in to our YouTube videos, looking
at our product reviews. Today, I've got the Era Fortress Deadlock for us to
have a look at. So, let's get it out of the bag here, directly in front of
us and let's have a look at the product in a bit more detail.
So, here is the actual lock case itself. It comes standard. This is a
British Standard BS3621 lock case. Some of the qualifiers that are required
to achieve that British Standard is that you will see here there's a raised
plate and this raised plate here means, that it's an anti drill plate to
stop people or resisting the attack for somebody to try and drill the lock
out, so that's a requisite of the British Standard 361; so, that's quite
What you also notice here, as well, is you've got a little bit of a silver
finish there with a key raise and that's what we call in the industry, a
curtain. It's a lever curtain that's designed to stop your trying to attack
the levers from manipulation from inside. So, those are some of the
requisites. Another requisite as well of having a British Standard is you
need to have at least, let me just put that to one side here, you need to
have the 22 millimeter bolt thrown. This is the actual new British Standard
for that particular bolt throw.
What you'll also notice as well is that there's some black and there's some
silver lines here and what you've got is you've got some anti saw metal
which is a much harder metal there to actually reduce the effects of trying
to hacksaw down through the bolt in which to try and open the lock. So,
those are the basic requisite standards that are required for the lock to
have BS3621.
Now, this particular lock comes in two different case sizes. The one I have
here in front of me is three inches. So, in other words from there to there
is actually three inches, but they do come in a smaller one which is two
and a half inches which means that this key only moves half an inch back
that way because everything is compressed a little bit more. They come in
quite a few different ranges and finishes. [Inaudible 00:02:07] they've
done well in regards to the finishes.
This particular one here is sporting the stainless steel lock and as you
notice there if you zoom in there, you can see the British Standard kite
mark on the face plate which is quite important in the UK at least. There
are four finishes. They're available in stainless steel. They're available
in a brass. They're available in a satin brass. They're also available in
polished chrome.
One thing you will find with this particular type of lock is that the keeps
are all the same. So, it doesn't matter if whatever finish you have, the
keeps are this dull silver color here. This is what we call in the
industry, a full body keep; so, in other words, you've got a lot of
strength and all built into the back here, as well to assist with the
attack on this particular type of lock.
It comes with a, if I open this up we'll have a look inside here, it comes
with standard with your fixing screws which are pretty standard and of course this would be
in stainless steel. These are stainless steel and the
outside one as you can see there has got the little weather, little flap
that goes over to stop the wind and all blustering through on a cold
winter's night, so to speak.
So, yeah, I mean, these particular range of locks from Era; I mean, they're
incredibly good value for money; I got to say, they're very, very popular
with us on Locks Online. One thing we can do, as well, just for your
information, is we can key these locks like this. The Era Fortress range
does a range of deadlocks, but this is the deadlock.
They also do a range of sash locks as well which you can see other videos
on the sash lock and we can key them all alike. So, you might want to put a
sash lock half way up the door and then put a deadlock further down the
door to give yourself a little bit more security when, instead of having
just a separate key for each one, we can key them alike for you; so one key
will fit the two locks on the door. So, you got a little bit of that added
value there should that really be what you want to look for.
So, there you go. What can I say? The Era Fortress range of lock cases
available at LocksOnline.co.uk; So, I hope this little video will give you
a little bit more information about this product to make a considered
purchase and yeah, great. Appreciate your time and come back and visit us
real soon, falling out. Cheers. Bye, bye.

Inside the greenhouse at All Seasons Garden Center, you'd never know its January. And while most of us can't afford the heating bill for our own greenhouse, gardening experts say there's an easy way to bring a bit of summer to your home in the middle of winter.
It's called a fairy tale garden.
Jolene Schmitz, All Seasons Garden Center: "We heard about it and picked up a few things to get it going. And people have been really excited about it."
And Schmitz says it's a project that won't cost you an arm and leg, since it's just potting soil, a few plants and something to hold all of it.
Jolene Schmitz: "Basically you want to pick out a container and choose some small plants that are just going to stay small in the container. So, you don't want to get anything that has great big leaves or anything.
How elaborate you'd like to get is up to you. Schmitz says it's a great project for everyone to take the edge off winter and build some lasting memories.
She says grandparents are finding it's a great project to do with their grandchildren.
Schmitz: "So they can come in here and pick out what they want. Let the kids pick out what they want and it's a fun afternoon project. And then it's something they can always remember they did together."
It can also add a bit of a psychological boost to everyone's home, as we start longing for spring.

Be a Voice for Life & Dignity in California

Catholic Legislative Network to help us be better informed about state and national policy issues and make it easier for us
to become more engaged in the political process. On the weekend of March 26/27, 2011 every parish in the San Gabriel Pastoral
Region will hold a Life & Dignity Sunday. During each Mass, the Network will be explained and parishioners encouraged
to register. Cards will be forwarded to the California Catholic Conference for inclusion in the statewide database. All registrations
will be returned to the Bishop for us on public policy issues. The Catholic Legislative Network provides a brief, yet
thorough, weekly e-newsletter called Public Policy Insights, in which network members learn about issues and actions being
taken on certain priority issues. Occasional Action Alerts are sent to members asking them to contact their elected representative
and providing a suggested text. A representative who received a dozen of emails on an issue may pay attention,
but the Senator or Assembly member that receives hundreds of emails on one issue takes immediate notice. A strong voice
for life and dignity will make a difference! There could not be a more important time for this network to emerge. California
is in crisis morally and economically. Staggering budget deficits have shredded the safety net that once protected vulnerable
children and aging adults. But while funding for life-giving programs is eliminated, financial resources for abortion clinics
have not been similarly reduced, and each year proposals to allow doctors to assist their patients in committing suicide gain
momentum in the legislature. As Catholics we care deeply about all these "life and dignity" issues and more. The
state needs a strong, clear, moral voice for life and dignity now! Your willingness to participate within this network
will help the Catholic Church become a influence Voice for Life and Dignity in California.
