Pedestrian lying in Charlotte road is killedThe Associated Press
Investigators say a driver couldn't avoid hitting a man who was lying in a road in Charlotte.
Authorities say 50-year-old Michael Williams was killed around 10:15 p.m. Saturday after he was struck on a two-lane street on the west side of Charlotte.
Police say the driver told investigators, he saw something in the road and tried to avoid it, then stopped after he determined he had hit a person.
Authorities say it appears Williams had been drinking.
The crash remains under investigation. No charges have been filed.

At the end of the interview I was accepted into Glam Girls with the exception that I need to pay 1,500 for my marketing package.
Has anyone ever dealt with Official Glam Girls? I want to be careful as I DO NOT have 1,500 dollars to waste.

$1 is a waste if you're not getting $1 worth of services in return.
It scares me that you say you don't have $1500 "to waste" as if you'd actually consider it if people had nice things to say about them or told you that they were a legit company. It shouldn't matter if anyone has heard of them. The "deal" they're offering you is ludicrous.
This has nothing to do with modeling and everything to do with life common sense. If some guy on the street gave you a business card and said "give me $1500 and I'll post your pictures on my website and you'll become a star..." would you even consider it?

Investment in new-capital machinery, equipment and software is the primary means through which innovation spreads throughout the economy. As these innovations diffuse through industries, they raise productivity, lower costs of production and improve the competitiveness of the American economy as a whole. However business investment in the U.S. has fallen significantly in the last decade, exacerbating the economic stagnation we face.

Take a moment to consider the things we put up with on a daily basis because they have been understood and accepted as the status quo. Perhaps the old adage, "better the devil you know than the devil you don't," rings no truer than for traditional on-premise data storage systems. Sure, there have been numerous improvements in data storage over the years. Sure, the slower, capacity-limited storage systems of yesterday continue to be replaced by bigger, faster storage systems all the time — but has there really been much improvement to address the most common idiosyncrasies that have existed for so long?
While data storage systems and cars have very little in common, imagine what automobiles would be like if they suffered from the same constraints and requirements have become the accepted norm with storage systems. Quite simply, owning an automobile would be a vastly different experience. How different? Think about all the things you would need:
- A replacement every three years regardless of whether you needed it or not, or risk your payment rising drastically
- A second automobile housed in a distant garage that is seldom used, except in the case of disaster — and once you replace your primary car, you have to replace that second one, too, whether it's ever been driven or not
- A permanent auto mechanic who works in your house
- A supply of spare parts in your garage as part of regular operation and maintenance
- The ability to keep growing your garage space and driveway to hold more automobiles as you expand to an entire fleet
- An expanding portion of your time transferring your belongings from old to new automobiles as part of a never-ending replacement process
Whether or not you agree with the premise of this analogy, the point remains that the requirements and constraints of managing data storage may suddenly seem unacceptable when applied to a more well-known context.
Of course, if you find the requirements of managing on-premise storage to be borderline absurd, consider the cloud as an alternative to on-premise data storage. In particular, cloud-integrated storage offers a way to manage storage without:
- The need to replace systems on a regular basis
- Dedicated and seldom used secondary sites for disaster recovery
- Significant administration
- A large inventory of spare parts (i.e. spare drives)
- A constantly growing need for floor space
Are you bothered by the quirks associated with managing your on-premise data storage? If so, let us know what they are.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The 3rd International @ThingsExpo, co-located with the 16th International Cloud Expo - to be held June 9-11, 2015, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY - announces that it is now accepting Keynote Proposals. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the most profound change in personal and enterprise IT since the creation of the Worldwide Web more than 20 years ago. All major researchers estimate there will be tens of billions devices - computers, smartphones, tablets, and sensors - connected to the Internet by 2020. This number will continue to grow at a rapid pace for the next several decades.

RJ's Licorice Allsorts
There are lots of different kinds of black licorice with different flavor profiles and styles. There's American twist licorice, Dutch salty licorice and Australian soft chew licorice. New Zealand even has its own brand, RJ's Licorice.
I picked up this sample package at the Fancy Food Show earlier this year. It's RJ's Licorice Allsorts and they're made with all natural ingredients, with no artificial colors. I thought this was a great idea, because I'm often turned off by weird flavors and aftertastes from artificial colors.
The other New Zealand twist on this is the flavor set for these candies, they come in four colors and flavors: Passion Fruit, Black Cherry, Lime and Orange.
They smell really good. They're soft and have a strong anise and molasses note. The stack for the little sandwiches starts with a white layer or fondant, which seems to be unflavored or at least lightly flavored. Then there's a thin square of black licorice. On top of that is the special flavored fondant. This fondant is just a soft sugar mixture, there's no coconut in there like some Allsorts feature.
The orange pieces are Orange flavored. The white fondant is like a frosting, sugary and sweet and with only a light and soft touch of orange essence. There's no tartness and little balance. The licorice layer is soft and pliable, chewy and has a nice profile. It's a mix of woodsy molasses, toffee and other burnt flavors. It's only the faintest bit bitter and quite sweet in that light way that licorice is. The white layer is unflavored, as far as I can tell.
The green looks rather like a highlighter and is Lime. This one was not entirely pleasant. I didn't care for the lime layer, it was sweet and weirdly artificial even though it does use natural flavorings.
The faint pink is Black Cherry and has a great profile. The flavor is floral and a bit more punchy than the previous citrus ones. It dissipates quickly but still goes well with the licorice layer. It tasted far sweeter though on the whole than the other flavors.
The yellow sandwich was Passion Fruit which was the odd one in the batch. It was musky and had strong honey and floral notes. It goes pretty well with the licorice, which I never would have guessed. But still, it was a lot of different sweet notes, too much for me.
If you're the type who likes very sweet and sugary candy, the type of person who eats straight sugar cube, this is a good choice. It wasn't licorice-y enough for me and without enough of a fruity note from the fondant. I'll stick to plain licorice from RJ's for now.

Jelly Belly Peas & Carrots Mellocreme Candy
Jelly Belly Peas & Carrots Mellocreme Candy comes in a little plastic container that looks like canned vegetables.
The can says eating your veggies never tasted so good and shows a heaping spoonful of the pretend side dish. They come in two flavors, the little carrots are Orange Sherbet Flavor and the peas are Green Apple Flavor.
Mellocreme is a firm fondant confection, usually just a combination of sugar and corn syrup, sometimes there's a bit of a binder in there like egg whites and sometimes some honey for added flavor. Candy Corn is probably the most famous mellocreme candy, but especially around Easter there are little pastel shapes around in sweet fruity flavors.
The little carrot rods are shy of one inch long and the peas are actual pea sized (1/3 to 1/2 inch in diameter). The peas aren't quite spherical, most have a flattened side.
They're soft, but not crumbly or sticky. They dissolve nicely without any grain, though I wouldn't exactly call them smooth. The orange carrot is sweet and has a soft and not too zesty orange flavor. Creamsicle is about as close as I can come to it. The peas are a little softer and have a very sweet and barely noticeable artificial apple flavor to them.
It's a goofy candy that's much better for the packaging and art direction than the actual eating. I happen to enjoy fresh carrots and frozen peas, so I'm going to pass on this. They're a bit steep in the price area as well. The can retails for about $5 and is half of the charm of the candy. They're sold in bags or bulk, but I think it really undermines the novelty aspect. But as a non-toxic plaything for little children, this is far better than plastic. All things considered, I'll stick to fresh carrots and frozen peas as a snack.
They're really low in calories as they're more than 90% sugar. There's no traces of gluten or peanuts. They contain soy and artificial colors and flavors plus beeswax and a confectioners glaze that makes them inappropriate for vegans and some vegetarians. Made in the USA

Cadbury Chocolate Creme Egg
It's exciting to see a new Cadbury product for Easter. The Cadbury brand is so inextricably tied to Easter is many American's minds because of their iconic products like the Cadbury Creme Egg and the Cadbury Mini Chocolate Eggs.
This year Hershey's in the United States is rolling out the Cadbury Chocolate Creme Egg. (I didn't see that these are for sale in the UK.) They're made by Cadbury Canada, not imported all the way from the UK by Kraft.
They're only 1.2 ounces these days, but I think that's actually a good size for such a thing.
If there's one thing that Cadbury Creme Eggs mess with, it's the definition of creme. I consider a creme to be creamy, something with a bit of fat in it, something that's smooth. The traditional Creme Egg has a fondant which is actually smooth, but doesn't rise to the level of something that's actually creamy. It doesn't melt in your mouth, it dissolves.
These eggs are not a ganache center, instead it's a smooth fondant. I expect little from a Cadbury chocolate ingredient-wise; I know it's a lot of sugar. But I was dismayed to see that the ingredients included things like palm oil and high fructose corn sweetener. (And it's not easy to see those things, it's printed on the foil but not on the website, so I had to carefully flatten the foil, then photograph it and zoom in to read it.)
The Cadbury Chocolate Creme Egg gets closer to that creamy ganache that I would hope it would be, but misses a bit. Basically, if you love chocolate frosting, you'll love the Chocolate Creme Egg.
It was pretty good. Much better, in my opinion, than the traditional plain fondant version. The fudgy center has plenty of cocoa in it, and it is quite smooth, like a rich tub of frosting. There may even be a little salt in there, which offsets the sticky, sickly sweet milky chocolate The cocoa notes of the filling are more like a Tootsie Roll than a chocolate truffle, but that's just fine for Easter.
I like this addition to the Cadbury Egg offerings.
There's no statement about the ethical sourcing of the chocolate, though Cadbury is going Fair Trade with many of their UK chocolates. It's made on shared equipment with peanuts and tree nuts. I couldn't find a gluten statement.

Zachary Thin Mints & Raspberry Thin Mints
So I've tried the Zachary Thick Mints and the Zachary Mini Mints. Today I have the Zachary Thin Mints. This is probably where I should have started, as this is the standard set of ratios that all other peppermint fondant and chocolate candies should be judged against.
The Zachary line of candies are very well priced. They're often sold at dollar stores and other discounters. I happened to find my set of both the mini mints and the Zachary Raspberry Thin Mints. They were on sale for 79 cents for a box that holds 3.5 ounces. That's the same price as a regular York Peppermint Pattie. Kind of a crazy comparison.
The boxes are small and rather nicely designed. Spare but they provide the essential protection of the stuff inside and have a bunch of information on them that they're obligated to carry like ingredients, and nutrition facts and include the notation that they're made in the United States (which York Peppermint Patties can no longer say).
Inside the Thin Mints are in a little tray. It has two sections, kind of misleading about the amount of candy, especially when compared to the similarly priced Haviland Thin Mints that have 5 ounces in a box and all natural ingredients.
There were 12 mints in my packages. Yes, the two sections are uneven. One holds 5 patties and the other 7 patties. I have no idea why it's formatted that way.
The Peppermint Thin Mints are rather ordinary. They're small, about 1.25 inches in diameter, like little coins. My mint ones were in good condition with very few scuff marks.
The fondant is soft, almost chewy. It's like a cross between the gooey center of a Junior Mint and the softer center of the Haviland. They're not strong, just an all around inoffensive mint. The peppermint is clean and doesn't really overpower the mild semi-sweet chocolate. It's like eating a handful of baking chips. It's not extraordinary chocolate, a little on the gritty side but real.
The second version is the Raspberry Thin Mints which I thought were going to be just raspberry flavored fondant. Nope, there's mint in there, too.
These were horrid. The raspberry was fake and floral and tasted like the purple coloring. Then there was the slight tangy, jam flavor in there ... all capped off with a refreshing burst of mint. The chocolate coating was mercifully stronger here, perhaps picking up on the woodsy notes of the raspberry. It was just a terrible mix. I don't think mint goes well with berries or even citrus (I know, Mojitos are a mystery to me).
They're not for vegans - there's milk and eggs in there. There's no gluten statement on the package but no actual wheat ingredients - proceed with caution.

Zachary Mini Mints
Zachary has distinguished itself in the past few years as the premiere maker of offbeat flavors for Candy Corn (Egg Nog, Tangerine, Gingerbread, Creme Brulee and Cinnamon Fangs to name a few). They also have a line of economical mints, mostly available in discount and dollar stores.
I've noticed that their mints come in the after dinner patty variety, the Thick Mint and now I've found these Zachary Mini Mints in a theater box. It holds 3.85 ounces and inside the box is a little cellophane bag to keep the mints fresh.
They also make a little Chocolate Coated Caramel too, like Milk Duds, I did a taste comparison with those last year.
The package is functional and distinctive enough that it caught my attention. The background is a flat, medium green with a starburst of a darker green shade behind the logos and product image. It describes the candy as bite-sized cool creamy naturally flavored peppermint covered in real chocolate. This particular box has 10% more free, so my guess is that there are other even plainer looking boxes out there with only 3.5 ounces in them.
The topography isn't offensive or riotous like the Cookie Dough Bites family of products, so at least they had that going for them. But the quality level of the product feels like it deserves something a little better. The world of design has changed, bad design costs the same amount to print as good design, so the difference in overall price for making something that's pedestrian is pretty much nominal.
All that aside, it's about what's on the inside, after all. The ingredients here are pretty good - like the package said, it's naturally flavored. It's real semi-sweet chocolate (with some dairy in it) and a fondant center made of sugar, some gum arabic and egg whites along with some other ingredients including oil of peppermint. There's a confectioners glaze on the outside to complete the trifecta of animal ingredients to make this off limits to all but those lacto-ovo vegetarians and omnivores.
The pieces are big and slightly ovoid. The tallest were about 3/4 of an inch. The chocolate shell is thick, shiny and nicely tempered. The mint fondant center is firm and mostly dry, though not quite as crumbly as the center of a York Peppermint Pattie is. It's almost doughy, except that it doesn't have a flour/cake note to it. The chocolate coating is smooth and creamy, except for the slightly waxy coating. The mint is mild but pretty much perfectly balanced. The chocolate doesn't taste like mint, it tastes like chocolate. The center tastes like mint and not like cardboard. (I also tried their Old Fashioned Creme Drops a few years ago, which I thought were dreadful, so this is worth noting.)
For a cheap mint, I think Zachary really delivers for a mostly chocolate product. The ingredients are good (though made with soy, milk, eggs and coconut and on shared equipment with everything from peanuts to tree nuts without any statement about wheat/gluten). It's a good option for movie snacking, certainly a good price. I don't know if I'd grab them over Junior Mints, but I'm not afraid to keep trying Zachary products.

Tootsie Roll Raspberry Cremes
I found this box of Tootsie Chocolate Covered Raspberry Cremes in with the Valentine's candy at Walgreen's, but I don't see why this is a seasonal item and it doesn't say that it's Limited Edition.
The box says that there's Delight in each bite!. The design is, well, odd and out of place. There's a little Tootsie logo in the corner, but I never really think of Tootsie when I think of Junior Mints, which is a similar product.
They look just like Junior Mints. They're same size and shape and have the same deep dark chocolate shell with a glossy shine. They smell, well, like perfume made for fashion dolls. It's a floral raspberry but has a soft fake vanilla note to it as well.
The chocolate is thin but has a crisp crunch to it and protects the gooey innards very well. The raspberry flavor is all sweetness and floral artificiality. It's an interesting mix, the chocolate is not very strong, but has a decent cocoa punch. The fondant is sticky and sweet, and a little grainy like a frosting or glazed donut might be.
They were intriguing, but not compelling for me. The raspberry wasn't overpowering but also didn't wow me much. I like the idea of other flavored centers for Junior Mints, like orange or chocolate or maybe maple. I'm sure some folks are going to absolutely love these. If I were making them though, I probably would just keep them as a seasonal item.
Raspberry Cremes are made in a peanut free and gluten free facility. (The do contain soy, eggs and dairy.)

Head to Head: Haviland Thin Mints vs. Maxfield's Cream Sticks
Last week I reviewed the new Haviland Signature Dark Chocolate Thin Mints. As I mentioned then, Haviland makes several other varieties, the Orange and Raspberry. While shopping I also found these Maxfield's All American Raspberry and Orange Cream Sticks. Since they're similar prices and similar candies, I thought I'd compare them.
The Haviland are patties and come in a long rectangular box of 21 that weighs 5 ounces. I paid $1.59 for one box and got the second half off. I'm going to hazard that the normal price for Haviland's is going to be about $1.35. The Maxfield's are sticks that come in a flat box with 13 sticks and weigh in at 3.15 ounces. I got both boxes for $1 on sale with a coupon. But let's just say that these are normally about $1.00. So the price per ounce at my "regular" price estimates are 37 cents per ounce for Haviland and 32 cents per ounce for Maxfield's.
Maxifield's little book shaped box is just a sleeve. It's covered in a clear shinkwrapped plastic that seals out moisture. Once that's off though, the sleeve does a good job of protecting the little tray inside that holds the sticks (because it meets up with the box very well and has wide edges.
The tray holds 13 perfect looking sticks. I wouldn't say that the flimsy brown tray is great for serving from, except in the most casual company.
I don't know much about the Maxfield's All American chocolates. This is the first year I can recall seeing them in stores at Christmas. I saw a lot of boxed chocolates on the shelves most a lower prices than the standard Russell Stover which was in the same aisle. Maxfield's is based in Utah and is part of Dynamic Confections (which also makes Kencraft candy which creates those fanciful panoramic sugar eggs at Easter).
The Maxfield's Raspberry Cream Sticks look great. I honestly didn't expect much for the price and the fact that I hadn't heard of the company before.
Each is nicely molded, fresh and looked like it just came off of the factory line. Each stick is about 2.75 inches long. They smell lightly of raspberry, like the seedy part of jam or perfume, not so much like the fresh berries.
The chocolate is smoky and pretty mellow, it's not overly creamy or even sweet. The fondant center is moist and not quite crumbly, it's softer than a York Peppermint Pattie but on the grainy side like the York. The raspberry flavor is all scent, there's a light dash of pink food coloring in there.
The flavor was okay, not something I would just sit around eating. They'd be good, I suppose, to add to a plate of cookies or other desserts, but I wouldn't just eat these without an accompaniment. They're far too sweet for me without enough of a bonus of texture - the chocolate isn't good enough and the fondant just lacks an authentic punch.
The Maxfield Orange Cream Sticks were a bit more promising, mostly because I think it's easier to do a cheap but good orange flavor than it is to pull off rasbperry.
The orange sticks were just as lovely as the raspberry. The orange scent from them was an excellent citrus zest. The fondant was moist and had a gentle chew to it, or I could let it dissolve. The zest wasn't too strong, not harsh bitter note to it. It overpowered the chocolate completely though, the only thing the chocolate did was give me a break from the throat searing sweetness.
Again, with some very bold coffee or tea, I don't think I'd mind the sweetness quite as much. Each stick has about 28 calories.
The Haviland patties really do no better in the realm of packaging. The box is nicely designed and the tray certainly does its job of protecting the candy, but I wouldn't serve from them. It's also sealed in cellophane.
The patties in my fruity versions were in a little bit better shape than the Peppermint ones I mentioned last week. These had no sign of bloom and even fewer scuffs on the tops from shuffling around in the box. The box boasts that they're 63% cacao and are all natural.
The Haviland Raspberry Creme Dark Chocolate Thin Mints box shows that the center is pink, but in actuality they were uncolored. That's fine with me, I could tell them apart by smell alone. The raspberry scent is similar to the Maxfield's sticks, like a puree that includes the woodsy notes of the seeds.
The patties are beautifully rippled and are about 1.33 inches around. The break is crisp but the filling is slightly flowing and has a little pull to it. The fondant is smooth with a light confectioners sugar sized grain to it The darker chocolate balances out the sweetness. The raspberry flavor is all scent and no tartness or true berry bits. It was a clean flavor and would go best with tea or perhaps some strong hot chocolate. The ingredients mention a touch of peppermint oil, and at first I thought that was a typo, but it's true, there is a subtle minty finish.
The Haviland Orange Creme Dark Chocolate Thin Mints are strong. Even with my seasonal allergies, I could tell that these were orange. Biting into them it's even more apparent that they're too orange. Orange oil can be caustic at high concentrations and I think that may be pretty close here. The zest was overpowering, I got a hint of the chocolate texture and at the very least the change in the sweetness, but the orange oil too over everything else.
Each pattie has about 27 calories.
I like the change up of the standard thin mints or mint stick with these. Fondant is certainly a flexible element for a candy and I certainly support different flavors being combined with dark chocolate. In this case the sticks didn't have the quality of chocolate that they should have and the fruity thin mints didn't quite have the same balance of elements that the peppermint version had.
All were good values and in a situation where you just want to have something for folks who aren't that discerning (perhaps drunk on your spiked wassail or have frostbitten tongues from screaming at a northern bowl game).

Marich Halloween Mellocremes
I've honestly been curious why I don't see all natural or organic Candy Corn this time of year. But here's something pretty close. I found this little container at Whole Foods. They call them Marich Cream Jellybeans but they're really mellocremes or fondant.
They're all natural and come in a delightful variety of colors and shapes. There are bats, crescent moons, witches on brooms, owls and cats. I picked out a mix that was as evenly randomized as I could detect. They came in little box like a take out container, only made of a clear polyester-plastic that's easy to open and close.
The candy was on the expensive side for something that's all sugar, $5.99 a pound (far less expensive than the other mixes that I've picked up). But they were cute and I haven't bought much for Halloween this year because there have been so few new products.
The pieces are about an inch to an inch and a quarter at their longest. Some were particularly flat, like the Witch and Cat, which means that they were a little dryer and firmer than the thick ones like the Crescent Moon. They all stand up on their sides except for the moon, which naturally wants to be curve side down. (I held that one up with a little piece of sticky clay for the photo.)
Cocoa Brown - I hesitate to actually call this chocolate flavored because it doesn't taste at all like chocolate, but cocoa is listed on the ingredients so that appears to be the intention. It's a little woodsy and less sweet than the others. There are notes of honey, toffee, rum and coconut. This flavor also seemed moister than the others, no matter what shape it was, not sticky just not as dry.
Orange - a creamsicle sort of orange flavor, mostly zest but not intense at all. The color and the flavor wasn't that different from the yellow.
Yellow - lemon in the softest and sweetest way possible. Just a hint of lemon peel and maybe a little note of honey.
White - was unflavored, I'd call them a light vanilla. They taste a bit like marshmallows, pretty clean overall but of course sweet.
The texture was a little firmer than Candy Corn, but very smooth with a fast dissolve. They have a strong sheen on them, some more than others. There's a glaze on them (confectioners glaze plus beeswax and carnauba wax) which means that they don't stick together but also don't dissolve immediately.
The owl reminds me of those macrame owls from the seventies.
It's expensive for sugar candy, as I mentioned, but for a small bowl of candy matched to a Halloween or even harvest theme, they're a great choice.
They remind me of carved alabaster or soapstone figures. I can see that these are more sophisticated than brightly colored, strongly flavored kids fare ... but I can also imagine that there are kids out there would would love to play with these like edible chess pieces.
I've complained before that Marich's excessive food colorings in their Easter Mix get in the way of my enjoyment of their holiday novelty candies, so it's great to see that these are not only less expensive than those but also truer in their flavor profile. I'm in love with Marich's all natural and organic lines. I'd still like these to have more intense flavors and maybe more variation (like maple, honey and better cocoa) but I could still pick up the Brach's Halloween Mix for that.

Accurate and only 1 reactant By Tek on 11/25/2014Tek would recommend this product to a friendAccurate and quick test. Great value refills as opposed to buying new kits each time.
Love This By Chris on 5/8/2014Chris would recommend this product to a friendLove being about to purchase a refill on reagents inside of puchasing an entire new kit.
I've noticed as the Red Sea Alk test reagents gets over a year old, the colors compared to the examples on the testing instructions will start to get dull, this makes them harder to read the "end" values, leaving the results up to interpretation. Purchasing new reagents will get them back to the bright red/blue and easy to read as they originally were.
The price is right on these for the value. IMO Red Sea are the best test options in the "mid teir" price level before you start getting into hanna checkers etc.
Great that you can refill By Ryan on 8/22/2013Ryan would recommend this product to a friendI think it's great that they offer a refill kit vs. having to purchase the entire kit. works great and is easy to use.
Good By Parker on 6/30/2013Parker would recommend this product to a friendSweet product. Makes it so I do not have to go out and buy another whole test kit and can save some cash to spend on other of my reefing needs.
Sweet idea and the Red Sea kit is accurate I was using salifert prior and can't recall the difference really. Red Sea has definitely stepped it up a notch
Great Product! By The Reef Spot on 5/27/2013The Reef Spot would recommend this product to a friendI have been using Red Sea test kits for a long time. It is so nice to be able to buy a refill reagent instead of purchasing the entire test kit over and over. Doesn't come with the syringe toppers, which have a tendency to split or break over time, but it does exactly what it is supposed to. Provide results.
There are no videos related to this product.
Reagent refill for Red Sea Alkalinity Pro Test Kit. Enough reagent for 75 tests.
Red Sea reagent refills make this line of test kits one of the most affordable high quality test kits available.

Warner Bros. was busy checking its schedule on Wednesday and must have realized that it had a bunch of films to set dates for. The studio scheduled several films, including the Steve Carell comedy The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and Jennifer Aniston's We're The Millers.
Burt Wonderstone centers on a pair of rival magicians played by Carell and Jim Carrey. According to Indiewire, that film will open on March 15, 2013 and will have to face Carrie and 21 and Over. Steve Buscemi, Alan Arkin and Olivia Wilde also appear in the film.
We're The Millers has been in development for a decade and stars Aniston and Saturday Night Live's Jason Sudeikis. That will open on Aug. 9 against the Robocop remake.
Variety reports that Warner Bros. pushed The Conjuring from Jan. 25 to July 19. That film was directed by Insidious helmer James Wan and stars Patrick Wilson.
Lastly, Prisoners with Hugh Jackman will open on Sept. 20, 2013. That film will compete with Ron Howard's Rush.

Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing
Makes 22 cupcakes
- 2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, loosely packed
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 (15-oz.) can pure pumpkin puree (not canned pumpkin pie filling)
- Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting (see recipe below)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 muffin pans (22 cups–you'll have 2 less in one pan) with paper liners; set aside.
In medium bowl, blend the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In large bowl, blend canola oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Stir in the milk and pumpkin puree and blend well. Add the flour mixture into this pumpkin mixture and stir until blended. Pour batter into muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in pans for about 5 minutes, then remove to completely cool on a wire rack.
You can make the frosting while cupcakes are cooling…
Makes enough to generously frost all your cupcakes! Halve the recipe if you want to frost your cupcakes more lightly.
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese (regular or light), softened
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 7 1/2 to 8 cups confectioner's sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Blend softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add in vanilla and cinnamon, blending everything well. Gradually add confectioner's sugar a cup at a time, blending mixture after each addition. Frost cupcakes when they have completely cooled. If you're not serving these soon after frosting them, refrigerate until ready to serve (because of the cream cheese in the frosting).

The process of outsourcing housekeeping staff and security guards for the government hospitals in the city is still in progress, with a number of hospitals yet to get their sanctioned strength, particularly that of security guards.
A few hospitals are also facing problems as a result of workers leaving the job within a day or two of joining.
The government had decided to outsource manpower for housekeeping and security to fill in long-pending vacancies in government hospitals with more than 200 beds in the State.
A private agency was selected for recruiting the workers and it was expected the sanctioned posts would be filled by December 1.
As of December 4, a majority of hospital workers' posts have been filled at government hospitals. Some have also been informed the remaining personnel will join work in a week's time or latest by December 15, officials said.
