Sorry, more than one question but they're kind of related.
Having a port like for instance this guy: http://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=386700
So you have nothing but my utter admiration and trust in your vision.
Combine that with passion for the craft and respect for models like this guy.
That usually gets the best out of me as a model .
Spontaneous works best, though I like planned better.
What fires me up... Doesn't have much to do with modeling. Unless there's a translation-problem .
MatureModelMM wrote: What was your main inspiration to model for nudes? Love for the style, compensation, appreciation of the work by others?
And what influenced your decision to "pretty much retire" from modelling, according to your profile? I find it interesting that someone your age would even consider slowing down or stopping, especially since I know of many others who didn't really start until they were quite a bit older including myself.
Main inspiration... It kind of just happened. I'm basically cut out to do it; fashion looks horrible on my frame, I didn't see nudes as something "shameful" like many beginner-models do and was drawn to the style of really well done artistic/fashiony nudes very soon. It's also the genre in which I can offer the most to a photographer and can therefore work with really awesome talented people.
My retirement has to do with reasons outside of modeling - I still love it; it's just that my priorities have shifted. Also that I basically have no time for it now I'm going to management school (will graduate in July ).
Dan K Photography wrote: Why did you change your name? How did you pick this one?
I'm not that much of an impulsive person yet I changed my name in an impulse. Also maybe because the intensity of being able to shoot has changed; I feel like I'm in a different phase right now. Could have also picked Mini 2.0, but that didn't sound so catchy. How I picked this one was really trivial, picked a word that I heard in a song that was playing on the radio - and the name was still available. (don't judge )
LizaK wrote: How do you find photographers to work with without it tearing you down? I constantly bump against photographers who're all 'yes, we should totally shoot!' but when it comes down to planning a date for a already planned out concept, they no longer answer to anything.
For trade shoots, it starts with selecting photographers who I admire and can write a really sincere and motivated message to. I also already think about what I can offer them, what could interest them in a collaboration. Why would I expect them to go all out when I'm the one initiating and asking? So basically: know what you want, know what you can do, be realistic in who you can offer what, and be sincere without being too pushy. This prooves to be a quit succesful strategy for me, but of course you can't control how others will react or feel about something - and that's alright too. Accepting that will make it feel less like a 'struggle'.
_eMMe_ wrote: There is a lot of very creative images in your portfolio, beautifull styling, interesting make-up, funny mood.
How much is up to you and how much to the photographers? And how do you melt your ideas?
Thank you Emme ! Most of my stuff I had a pretty good amount of input in, I often do styling and make-up myself. Also, the majority of shots are either based on moodboard I drew up or are a collaborative effort because of improvisation on set. The most important thing (for trade) for me has proven to be: only picking photographers who's vision I trust completely. That way I'm not worrying or doubting and can put all effort and trust in. This for me delivers the best images.

I'm allergic to chocolate so I'm probably not the best person to judge ^^.
The reputation of most Belgian brands is certainly quite high, I'd guess that accounts for something? Besides good marketing.

Such a difficult question... Really couldn't say . I have good memories about all pictures that ended up in my portfolio.
Fotografica Gregor wrote: I like your work and your taste -
do you like this?
or perhaps this better?
or neither?
I'm guessing you deleted the first one. The image behind the second link is beautiful . Doesn't seem to have much 'depth' (don't know, don't know too much about technical stuff) but maybe that fits the concept nicely. It's a pretty atmosphere with a pretty colorpallet. I do wish the expression and just the general bodylanguage was a little more exagerated and 'yearning' (translation?)
MickCetera wrote: I need to increase my range of expressions... And I want them to look genuine. What do you think about to switch between emotions, or to show such direct, powerful feelings with your face?
It starts with technique: to know which muscles have which effect on your face, which angles are best. best way to find this out is observation in the mirror - then practicing without being able to see (make pictures yourself and compare)
then when you have this down, you can put acting techniques in, and eventually when you become really good, you can put emotion in.

http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pi … 3#30862442
which may have more of the sort of 'yearning' feel you are looking for -
I have a separate port for nakie shots and generally keep them off of my vanilla port.....
Thank you for the opinion -
Zombie Eye Photography wrote: I have a killer concept and I want someone like you to be my muse. However, I'm still in the starting out phase so I don't have the port to prove I can pull it off even though I know I can. What's the best way to approach someone like you in order to have the highest chance of landing you?
thank you for the compliment !
Offering to pay rates will work for most experienced models.
If you want the model to reduce her rates or even trade... I guess you'd have to have a good pitch. A (short) sincere and personal message is a good start, explaining the intent of the shoot and why you think that particular model would be the ideal match. I'd also appreciate knowing beforehand what and how much time etc you expect me to invest. Offering to help with transport/meal or other things to make my life easier might help as well. I once had a photographer also include test-shots he made with another model to show me what he had in mind and to convince me of the results (which worked). Hope that helps ?
Fotografica Gregor wrote: okay - a question for you -
let's use this shot as an example
you manage pretty consistently to use your eyes very convincingly - to avoid the soft detached look even in moody shots. Do you have a technique, or is it a function of really being engaged and "in the moment"?
This is very difficult to teach (beyond the bit of looking *through* the lens not at it), if one does not already "have" it...
love that you notice that, thank you !
My technique behind it is pulling the ears back ("smizing") and bringing your eyes 'front', focusing IN the lense (as opposed to normally right next or above) while being aware of not crossing the eyes. If you're doing it really intensely, it might even feel like the irises are vibrating very fast. That's when it'll usually look most intense. Quite important to have a very neutral mouth and no tension in the chin for it to have maximum effect. Bringing chin down to look from 'under the eyebrows' is easiest to get started.

LA StarShooter wrote: What concepts or styles of shoots have you yet to do but have dreamed of doing? What shots of models on mm or elsewhere have you deeply admired but yet to have achieved.
Anything that I have listed here basically. I have a list of favorite famous photographers (which is enormous and I'm going to spare you). Really I still have to shoot something I am 100% satisfied with; I'm my own worst critic and always see failures and flaws in what I do. Maybe that's what makes retiring so difficult, the drive to at least get it once totally right. Oh well .

LizaK wrote: Can I ask another question? What do you think of my new snowy pictures?
Technically they're not good (I know, the white reflecting snow mass + white styling on top is difficult to work with). I applaud you on trying and being brave to do a probably cold uncomfortable shoot. Unfortunately, they don't do anything for me. No editorial quality, sloppy styling that makes you a square so few interesting lines in it and as a viewer I don't get much connection with you. Sorry Liza, better next time . They're not bad, but they're not exciting to me either.

Improve: your expressions are currently all in the same realm: the cute innocent smile while being sexy. do something else

The largest event in the comic industry, Free Comic Book Day, is taking place on Saturday, May 3, at participating comic book specialty shops across the country and worldwide, including right at Floral Park's own Superhero Comics.
"People can stop by any time," said Superhero Comics owner Rich Brindisi. "I hope new customers stop by too and become life-long fans of comic books."
Superhero Comics will be celebrating 23 years of business in August.The goal of Free Comic Book Day is to promote the comic book medium to new customers young and old and celebrate independent comic book retailers and their stores. Comics are exciting; currently the entertainment industry and pop culture are taking stories based on comics and making them hits, as seen with The Walking Dead, Superman, Thor, Avengers, and more. Comics are also known as a great tool for introducing young children to the world of reading.
"Free Comic Book Day gives new and devoted comic book, entertainment, and pop-culture fans the opportunity to get great titles for free, while participating in fun and interactive comic shop events," said Free Comic Book Day spokesperson Dan Manser. "One of the best parts about Free Comic Book Day is discovering that you are a part of a giant community of like-minded fans who love the same stories, TV shows, and movies that you do. The comic shop is really a great place to meet your new best friends and discover the stories that will entertain you and enrich your life."
This year's list of 12 free comics featuring mainstream characters such as Archie, Simpsons, Batman, Hellboy, Hello Kitty, Guardians of the Galaxy, Transformers, Disney's Uncle Scrooge, Spongebob, and more.
Each year, participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their stores. Since its inception, Free Comic Book Day has given out more than 27 million free comics to nearly eight million people. This year alone over 4.6 million comics will be given away for free.
Visit www.freecomicbookday.com to learn more about Free Comic Book Day and to find other participating comic shops. Superhero Comics is located at 146 Jericho Tpke. in Floral Park and will be open from 12:30 to 5 p.m. on Free Comic Book Day.

At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, residents and community members joined with the Floral Park American Legion to honor veterans at the annual Veteran's Day ceremonies at Memorial Park, following a march down Tulip Avenue to the park with the members of the veterans of the Legion post, American Legion Auxiliary members, Sons of the American Legion, Boy and Cub Scouts from Troops 482 and 678 and local officials.
During the ceremony, a plaque was dedicated in memory of General Kazimierz Pulaski and others of Polish heritage who have served in the U.S. military. The plaque dedication was led by members of the Polish American Congress, Long Island Division, President Grzegorz Worma and Honorary President Richard Brzozowski. An invocation was delivered by Father Peter Rozek of St. Hedwig Church, followed by a POW-MIA ceremony by Post 334 Vice Commander Matthew Cacciatore.

While parking around Long Island Rail Road train stations is typically a challenge, even on a regular work day, the holidays create more of a struggle for commuters in search of parking spots. LIRR spokesman Salvatore Arena said that ridership between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day increases by at least 10 percent; last year it was by 12 percent. Though the MTA is adding more trains to the schedule, that doesn't ease the parking situation, which is operated not by the LIRR, but by individual municipalities in each town.
"Every station is different," Arena said. "A good part of our parking is in the hands of the locality. They set the rules essentially."

Sachems undone by fouls in 50-26 loss to Newfound
BRISTOL — The Laconia High School girls' basketball team had a rough start of the season on Friday, traveling to Newfound Regional for a 50-26 loss. The Sachems were able to keep pace with the Bears through the first half but fell behind in the second due to foulingTate Aldrich, assistant coach of the team, stated that with score tied after the first half the girls had proved equally matched against Newfound, however the team experienced fouling issues during the second half that impacted their performance on the court.
Kailey Nute scored the first basket for Laconia, putting 3 points on the board. Newfound enjoyed a slim 8-6 margin at the end of the first quarter.
Second period proved to be the strongest of the game for Laconia. A two-pointer by Erika Marchione, assisted by Taylor Sullivan, brought Laconia even with Newfound at 8 each. Laconia kept the pressure on the hosts, and after a basket by Natalie Compton, the visitors held a 12-9 lead. Newfound fought back with a five-point surge, and by the end of the half the teams were even at 16 points each.
Pressure on the basket and quick passes helped give Laconia an advantage to start the third. The advance by Laconia was short-lived however, as Newfound eliminated Laconia's four point lead. With 3:27 left in the third period, Laconia coach Jeff Greeley called a time out, though the tactic did little to slow the host's momentum. As soon as play resumed, Newfound increased its lead by sinking a free throw and two consecutive two pointers, resulting in a score of 25-20. At the end of the third period, Laconia was looking at a 14-point deficit.
Compton had a chance to bite into Newfound's lead at the start of the fourth, earning a couple of shots at the free throw line. She missed both, though, and Newfound continued to roll, stretching the lead to 20 points. Laconia finally got some traction, cobbling together a basket by Marchione and two free throws by Compton. However, any hopes of as Sachem comeback were cut short by fouls.
Technical fouls proved to be the Sachems' downfall. Three players fouled out and Laconia was whistled for two back to back technical fouls within the last few minutes of the game. The teams left the court with a final score of 50-26 Newfound.
Compton, Marchione and Nute each scored six for Laconia. Karissa Boney led Newfound with 16 points. Newfound was 12 for 27 at the foul line, while Laconia sank 5 of the team's 12 penalty shots.
"We had a great first half, but a poor second half. I knew that the game was going to be difficult, and I pushed the girls to new places," stated Coach Greely in response to the game. "I look forward to watching the film, because it will help us see where we need to improve so that we can have a better game next time."
The Laconia girls' team will have its home opener today at 6:30 p.m.

Laconia girls hope to build on last year's post-season run
The winter high school sports season begins tonight with girls' basketball. Boys' basketball will start a week from tonight, and ice hockey teams will face off the following week.
Girls' basketball
The Laconia Sachems look to improve on an impressive run that ended in the in with a tournament loss to Bow last winter in the quarter-finals. Laconia, with a team of mostly freshmen and sophomores in the 2012-2013 season, had modest expectations last year but was able to earn the seventh seed in the NHIAA Division III tournament. The Sachems finished the season with a 14-6 record. A new season will begin on Friday night when the team, still on the young side but now playing with some big-game experience, travels to Bristol to take on Newfound Regional.
Friday night will see Belmont travel to Farmington and Gilford visiting Somersworth. Winnisquam will host White Mountains and Inter-Lakes welcomes Mascoma Valley.
Boys' basketball
Laconia's boys team did not fare as well as their counterparts, finishing the year with a 5-13 record. The Sachems were able to finish the season on a positive note, winning the last two games of the season. The boys will begin their season on Friday, Dec. 13, when they travel to Whitefield to take on White Mountain Regional.
In other local action on Dec. 13, Gilford will travel to Franklin and Belmont heads to Somersworth. Inter-Lakes is also on the road in Alton matching up against Prospect Mountain. Winnisquam will play host to Berlin.

Katie Couric joining Yahoo as news anchor, keeps talk show
Katie Couric, one of the more celebrated broadcasters of the past 20 years, will forsake broadcast news in 2014 when she joins Yahoo as "global anchor." But because her syndicated show is expected to end next year as well maybe it's time now to consider this possibility: Is broadcasting about to forsake Couric?
Her five-year run on "CBS Evening News," which ended in 2011, was considered a disappointment. Her ongoing role at ABC News has largely been invisible. Her talk show -- better than anyone has ever given it credit for, which can actually be a liability in daytime -- has also been a washout, ratings-wise.
If this was baseball, that would add up to three strikes. This isn't baseball even though the outcome could turn out to be the same: Three strikes. Adios.
Then, there's the other way of looking at this. Couric is deepening her ties with one of the Internet's most important destinations, under vigorous new leadership. Chief executive Marissa Mayer, a web pioneer and recent arrival from Google, wants to revive this still-potent brand with fresh talent and energy. At the very least, the future here looks interesting.
The future of broadcasting looks interesting, too, with broad viewership declines, and franchise programs and legacy networks fighting for every warm body. Those bodies are harder to find because they have their noses buried in the mobile devices where they'll soon be able to see a new "global anchor" for Yahoo.
"Joining Yahoo," said Couric in a statement, "offers a tremendous opportunity to reach people all around the world in the way that they're using and consuming media today."
What else would you expect her to say? Except . . . she's right.

You might think the fash-pack would dig out their finest couture for the British Fashion Awards. But not so judging by supermodel Erin O'Connor and singer/model Sophie Ellis Bextor's choice of attire - good old Topshop. Erin accessorised her full-length gown with a snakeskin cropped jacket from the British High Street supreme brand and Sophie admitted she'd just pulled out her Toppers LBD from her wardrobe at the last minute. Now that's credit crunch fashion we're totally in favour of...

DEFINITION of 'Enterprise Resource Planning - ERP'
A process by which a company (often a manufacturer) manages and integrates the important parts of its business. An ERP management information system integrates areas such as planning, purchasing, inventory, sales, marketing, finance, human resources, etc.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Enterprise Resource Planning - ERP'
ERP is most frequently used in the context of software. As the methodology has become more popular, large software applications have been developed to help companies implement ERP in their organization.
Think of ERP as the glue that binds the different computer systems for a large organization. Typically each department would have their own system optimized for that division's particular tasks. With ERP, each department still has their own system, but they can communicate and share information easier with the rest of the company.

Toronto day programs help seniors with dementia
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 3 photoszoom
In Toronto, 37 seniors' day programs accept people with dementia, while eight are specifically for those with the disease, according to the Toronto Dementia Network website, dementiatoronto.org. The programs offer a variety of activities, including arts, music and physical exercise, and some have extended hours, even overnight stays.
"It's not just bingo and beading," says Bianca Stern, executive director of culture, arts and innovation at Baycrest Health Sciences, which opened Canada's first adult day program in 1959. "Over time we've gained a greater understanding of the kinds of approaches that help people with dementia thrive rather than survive."
The arts is one such approach. Baycrest has a glee club, theatre and photography groups for the cognitively impaired and a mini gallery that displays their visual-arts work. "The arts give us a playground where there's no right or wrong," says Stern. "It draws on long-term memories that continue to be meaningful."
Over the last decade, Baycrest and other centres have seen more clients with complex physical needs and increased dementia, people who in the past would have been in long-term care.
Providence Healthcare in Scarbourgh offers day, evening and overnight clubs - up to five consecutive nights may be an option - to give caregivers a break, and nurses and other health professionals visit the day program to monitor some clients' health needs.
The day program, called "The Club," takes place in a homey setting with a kitchen, baby grand piano – and Monty, a labradoodle. "He works miracles for us," says Elizabeth Davison, adult day program manager. "He helps lead clients to the bathroom. He gets them outside for walks."
At Downsview Services for Seniors, a popular activity is horticulture. In the winter, clients care for house plants, and then grow vegetables in an outdoor plot in the summer. Clients at different stages of dementia all benefit. "Everyone has some connection to gardening," says Dana Borrie, manager of Downsview's adult day programs, which run seven days a week and provide overnight stays.
In the east end, WoodGreen Community Services' adult day program has a multisensory room that uses lights, aromatherapy and sounds to soothe clients or to simulate an experience. For example, a seaside visit was created with blue lights, the sounds of crashing waves and singing birds for clients to work on a beach-themed art project, explains program manager Diane Wong.
Health professionals help monitor the clients at the WoodGreen program, which now has extended hours and operates six days a week.
Most dementia day programs draw from particular neighbourhoods. Some provide transportation. Most charge a daily fee, usually $15 to $40, although subsidies may be available.
For more information on adult day programs, visit dementiatoronto.org or the Community Navigation and Access Program, cnap.ca.

I have been working at PetSmart part-time (more than an year)Pros
You get to work with animalsCons
Part-time employees are treated like dirt no matter how long you've been there, awful pay, inadequate training, most managers don't know P&P and it's therefore not followed, unhealthy animals, lack of knowledge, the company cares more about making customers happy than the well-being of their animals and employees.Advice to ManagementAdvice
CARE a little bit more about your employees. Part-timers are hard working people too and deserve just as much respect as full-time associates. Read up on store policies and procedures. It's sad when someone who gets paid a small fraction of what you do knows more about these things and has to do your job for you.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

NPR's John Burnett traveled to Colonia Juarez, Mexico, to explore a side of Romney's biography that he doesn't stump about.
Ron Paul as a Romney-appointed chairman of the Federal Reserve? Rand Paul as a running mate? Don't laugh. Politics has made stranger bedfellows.
The candidate clinched his party's nomination Tuesday after scooping up 71 percent of the vote in the Texas Republican primary.
The GOP nominee is expected to raise $15 million on fundraising stops in Texas's four largest cities this week.
Texas advertising veteran Jim Ferguson is among the team of present-day "Mad Men" working for the Mitt Romney presidential campaign.
Nothing to see here. The presidential candidate just dropped by George H.W. Bush's Houston home today for a friendly visit.
The Texas governor swung through two swing states on Sunday and Monday to stump for his former rival in the waning days of the presidential campaign.

Fralinger's Creamy Mint Sticks
Fralinger's Salt Water Taffy is a New Jersey favorite, known best for their classic wrapped taffy rods, also makes some excellent peanut chews, fudge and molasses paddle pops. But what I know them for is their Creamy Mint Sticks, which I only seem able to find at trade shows as samples. So, I was pretty pleased to see them, if only seasonally, at Cost Plus World Market this Christmas.
I'm a sucker for butter mints (those soft colored little pillows), and specifically don't buy them because I will devour them. But in the interest of the blog, I picked up this box of Fralinger's Creamy Mint Sticks on clearance at Cost Plus World Market after Christmas for review. The mint sticks are similar to the puffy butter mint brethren, except that they're individually wrapped and less airy.
The ingredients include no artificial colors or flavors. It's a mix of sugar, invert sugar with a touch of palm oil, emulsifiers, glycerine and cream of tartar along with real peppermint oil.
The sticks are generous for a mint, the same size as Fralinger's Salt Water Taffy logs. They're in a clear cellophane wrapper with twisted ends, inside that is the waxed paper with the Fralinger's logo on it. These also bear a bar code, I don't know if that's for internal tracking or if they actually sell these individually. They're a little over two inches long, are white inside and come out of the wrapping easily.
They're soft, though I wouldn't say that they're damp, they're not oily either. This is the big difference between these and butter mints, they're creamier. The texture is like a wad of very smooth, compressed powdered sugar. They dissolve readily and have a powerful amount of mint in them. Though they're nearly all sugar, they don't have a throat searing sweetness to them.
The candy is extremely simple and I appreciate that. They're a little harder to eat than some wrapped candy, it takes two hands to unwrap the ends and then carefully unroll from the waxed paper. But every one of them was in good condition, so it does the job.
I've had quite a few other versions of these before: James' Butter Mint Rolls (photo) which are part of the Fralinger's family now and Angel Mints. What I've noticed is that they're best when sold in a sealed package. In the case of this box, it was shrink wrapped, and then inside the box the mints were also sealed inside a poly plastic bag. When I've bought them as "changemakers" or in a bulk mix they've been a bit more chalky and with a bit less of a mint kick. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But in this case I was actually blown away with how fresh these tasted. I can't imagine paying the full price for these even though I know I would eat them all.
They're exquisitely simple, and for me they're quite addictive. Basically, I kept going into Cost Plus World Market all week long, checking to see if they were still on the shelves. I bought one box at 75% off (they were regularly 6.99 a box, but at that discount they came to $1.75) ... but then yesterday they went to 90% off so I bought another two boxes because, well, 70 cents for 12 ounces. They are best before March 2013, but I doubt they'll last that long.

Merry Christmas
I hope everyone is having a tasty holiday and enjoying all their favorite seasonal sweets and perhaps starting new traditions.
Keep safe, hold your loved ones tight and if all that togetherness pushes your buttons, take a candy break.
Are you getting or giving confections for Christmas this year? I'm in charge of the stockings this year, so there will be a nice mix of American favorites and a good sampling of German candy in there as well.

Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Salted Caramel Truffles
Let's see, if I was going to make my own candy, what would be the most popular ingredients to include? Dark Chocolate. Peanut Butter. Caramel. So it's not surprising that I bought this gable box of Trader Joe's Chocolate Peanut Butter Salted Caramel Truffles.
The box holds about 15 individually wrapped bon bons filled with layers of caramel and peanut butter all covered in dark chocolate.
The front of the box says that there are no artificial flavors or colors, but that doesn't mean that the ingredients are simple. There are things like malto-dextrin, fractionated palm oil (organic) and tocopherol (Vitamin E). But part of what makes the list so long is also how many of the items are preceded by "organic" such as the caramel (organic milk, organic sugar, etc).
The bronzy twisted mylar wrappers hold the bon bons well. They're glossy and nicely domed, about 1.125 inches in diameter. They're about 12 grams each, which is approximately the same size as a Lindt Lindor Truffle (though not spherical).
The shell yields easily to the soft interior. The burst of caramel comes first, as it's more of a syrup than a firm chewy variety. The flavor is good, a little hint of burnt sugar but mostly a salted sweetness. The peanut butter base is very smooth with a smoky flavor for the most part and a light burst of salt as well. There's a bit of chocolate in the filling as well, it looks like maybe a layer between the caramel and peanut butter - probably to keep them from mingling. The melt of it all is less than stellar, the chocolate is quite firm but the peanut butter is soft but slightly waxy (is that what fractionated palm oil is like?). Overall, it just never came together for me as a decadent whole. I'll probably finish the package at some point but I've passed them over plenty of times when looking in my goody drawer over the past week, which is a rating in and of itself.
I still might consider these as a hostess gift, especially if you know the person is inclined towards the elements of caramel, dark chocolate and peanut butter. Even though they're not as flashy, I prefer Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups (which I've been eating by the tub-full for extra calories).
There is no ethical sourcing statement for the chocolate on the box, though the organic status of many of the ingredients bodes well for the attention the makers pay to sourcing ingredients. The truffles contain soy, peanuts and milk. They're made in a facility that also processes wheat, eggs and tree nuts.

Russell Stover Red Velvet Santa
The store shelves at the drug stores in my neighborhood are filled with Christmas candies, including the seasonal array of Russell Stover candies in Santa shapes. There's a new one this year, the Russell Stover Red Velvet Santa in dark chocolate.
I have to say that I found the idea of a Red Velvet and Santa Claus combination intriguing. It seems like a natural fit and evokes the tactile elegance of a rich, deep red St. Nicholas coat and the traditional white ermine fur trim. But this was much better in my head than the actual execution. The wrapper doesn't play upon that Victorian image, instead has a cartoon-style Santa on the front, holding a teddy bear.
I have very little experience with Red Velvet as a baked good. I've had the cake a few times, including several times baked from scratch as well as some high-end cupcakes. The cake is usually a buttermilk yellow cake with a dash of cocoa for light flavor along with either beets or loads of red food coloring. (Before the era of Dutched Cocoa, a little vinegar in the recipe would turn undutched cocoa deep red.) The selling point, for me, is the cream cheese frosting (but I usually satisfy that with a dense Carrot Cake sans nuts when given the chance).
In this case the candy is constructed of a cream center made from white chocolate (a lovely substitute for cream cheese) and actual Red Velvet cake mix according to the list of ingredients. (So this has wheat in it.)
The filling is a creamy red and a little grainy, probably because of the cake mix in there. It looks like it should be raspberry, but it's not. The flavor is a little doughy, like a cookie dough bite, but better. The dark chocolate coating is just the right ratio - it's not too thick or chalky and has a good, bittersweet counterpoint to the sweet center. It's very filling.
If I had been given this lump (which doesn't look like Santa, by the way) without any description, there is no way I could have guessed that this was a Red Velvet influenced object. I'm guessing it's more like a cake pop (which I've never tried, either). I'm glad they went with dark chocolate and not white chocolate, but hypothesizing that it could have been worse is hardly a recommendation.

Peeps Gingerbread Men
Marshmallows in the shape of Gingerbread Men seems like a natural holiday treat.
The Peeps Gingerbread are a little harder to find than the Snowmen and Christmas Trees. In my case I bought them at the overpriced FAO Schweetz because I was concerned I wouldn't find them anywhere else. ($3.49 for a package of 6.)
The name pretty much says it all, they're spiced cookie flavored marshmallows in the shape of a trio or conjoined gingerbread men. The package has two rows of cookies, all in a fancifully designed package that looks like a gingerbread house. I looked over the packages carefully, as they have the expected icing eyes and mouths, but some were not smiling. I chose the happiest looking set I could find.
A serving is a whole row of Gingerbread Men, which is about 1.1875 ounces and only has 120 calories. (They're gluten free but may contain traces of milk. There's no statement about peanuts or tree nuts.) Each Gingerbread Man is about 2.75 inches high.
They smell quite nice, like toasted marshmallows. The marshmen are coated with a brown sugar crust that has a light, spicy flavor that might described as "cinnamon." The marshmallow center is a similar creamy brown color but has less flavor. It might just be a brown sugar flavor, which is fine with me, I like the slight toffee note to the usually overly sweet marshmallows. I wish they were a little more spiced, I'm not getting any hints of ginger or cardamom or even clove. But it's a Peep, which is the mildest of all candies, so I shouldn't expect too much from them.
Overall, it's a great combination of flavor and form and makes far more sense as a holiday novelty than so many other Peeps. The only thing missing are the gum drop buttons and raisin eyes. My next step might be to try them in hot chocolate. (I often put a bit of spice in my hot chocolate, usually nutmeg and cardamom, so this may go very nicely.)

Peeps Chocolate Dipped Sugar Cookie & Candy Cane
Marshmallow Peeps moved on from just being fanciful shapes and colors for different holidays years ago. Now there are flavored and dipped Peeps. For Christmas this year Just Born created two new varieties: Sugar Cookie Dipped Peeps Chicks and Candy Cane Flavored Peeps Chicks Dipped in Chocolate.
I found the Sugar Cookie Peeps at Target at a modest price, but picked up the Candy Cane Peeps at FAO Schweetz because I was afraid I wouldn't find them anywhere else (and actually haven't seen them at any other stores, that still doesn't make them worth the $3.99 I paid for the 1.5 ounce package).
The Peeps are beautifully crafted. They're puffy and soft and creamy tan colored. The chocolate puddle around its bottom is nicely formed and in perfect condition. The Peeps smell like fake butter and amaretto. This is not an appealing combination to me, but I suppose I can give it points for originality. Each Peep is about a half an ounce in weight.
The bite is soft and plush, the sugar coating is not too grainy but does a good job of creating just a little texture to sell the sugar cookie experience. The flavor is sweet without a trace of that buttery thing, but still a touch of the amaretto. There's also a note of toasted sugar, like a fresh cookie (or a vanilla marshmallow). The chocolate is sweet and creamy, not really terribly complex, and honestly doesn't belong on a sugar cookie, but still didn't hurt the experience.
Overall, they weren't my favorite kind of Peeps. I wonder how different they are from the Caramel Peeps, I'm guessing the color and the amaretto note are the only differences.
The entire package has 160 calories, which is a pretty good sized treat with a very small caloric price tag. So if you're looking for an indulgence that feels like the holiday but doesn't go overboard, these are passable.
Back in 2007, Just Born introduced Peeps Peppermint Stars. I liked the flavor and the shape, but I wasn't keen that they used artificial sweeteners in the little candy bits. Happily this newer version of Candy Cane Flavored Peeps Chicks Dipped in Chocolate has delicious sugar in it.
The simple construction is a peppermint flavored Peep chick with a light sprinkling of red candy bits. Then it's dipped partially into semi-sweet chocolate. They're packaged three to a tray and like the Sugar Cookie version, they're each about a half an ounce each.
The Peeps hold their shape well and smell light and fresh, like peppermint toothpaste. They're mercifully spared from much of the artificial colorings that I think muck with the flavor of a good, fresh marshmallow. (Ghost Peeps are probably the best Peeps for this reason.) The coolness of the peppermint flavor was a bit like mouthwash, but not in a bad way. It matched well with the lightly sweet and slightly smoky chocolate base to keep the whole thing from being too sickly sweet.
I did think that when they started dipping them in chocolate, they might stop making the eyes out of wax. Sadly, they're still inedible and I have to spit those out. (I guess that's how you know you have a real Peep.) Overall, a good effort. I don't see why these can't be a flavor that comes back with a green sparkle to them for St. Patrick's Day. I much prefer this partially dipped version to the strangely wet fully dipped marshmallows (that are also over-colored).
Fans of the Peepsters, the little foil wrapped chocolates, will be happy to hear that those have returned in green and red foil for the winter as well.

See's Holiday Pie Truffles
See's Candies has a seasonal line of truffles inspired by winter pies. I picked up a few of these limited edition pieces while at the mall over before the holiday shopping madness began.
See's Cranberry Orange Truffle
This truffle was definitely citrusy and definitely cranberry. The little bits of dried cranberry in the center were sweet and tangy. The zest added a little note of bitterness and zing of orange. The dark chocolate gave it another not so sweet layer with a little smoky and bitter quality along with a creamy melt. This isn't normally a style of boxed chocolate that I care for, but this works well. I wouldn't eat it as a pie, but as a truffle, it's quite refreshing.
See's Pumpkin Pie Truffle
This milk chocolate truffle is overtly sweet. From the smooth but kind of sticky chocolate to the spiced buttercream of the center, it's a lot of sugar. The milk chocolate notes are overpowered by the allspice and nutmeg of the cream. Since it's a big piece, there were bites with more chocolate and some that were just filling. The filling also has a light sugary grain to it.
The other pie flavors available (though often sold out) are: Mincemeat, Apple Pie and Pecan Pie. Overall, the traditional flavors are done better and more consistently. If folks love See's, chances are they have a favorite and you're more likely to satisfy folks when you bring a gift of one of the standard mixes (Nuts & Chews is my favorite) than the more trendy, seasonal varieties unless someone specifically asks for them.

I have heard.. An old Jew is run over in front of a church. A priest runs out and whispers in his ear, "Do you believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost?" The Jew opens his eyes and says, "I am dying and he is asking me riddles!"
Although he is dying he has a Jewish conditioning and the priest is asking from the background of a Christian mind.
You were very close. You just missed by inches, not even miles. When you again feel this - and you will feel this.. It is a great achievement to feel the pure space of no searching, no longing, no universal visions, to feel only the birds singing in the trees, the people all around. But you are missing; you are no more there. Just gather courage not to be, and this very experience becomes enlightenment.
Enlightenment is not something superhuman, it is your basic right. But your ego goes on postponing it, goes on bringing itself between you and your enlightenment. And in such subtle ways that unless you are very alert, you are going to be deceived. When you felt no searching, no longing, you could have felt just life, just living. Why just "living me"? Why confine living to a small prison of "me"?
Feel the heartbeat of the whole universe and let your own separation be dissolved into it. Then you would have said, "The knowing has happened; this is it and there is no other enlightenment." The absence of the ego and the presence of universal consciousness is what enlightenment means.
Osho,I am a student from Japan. "Where there is a will, there is a way." Please tell me about it, Osho.
The proverb, "Where there is a will, there is a way" exists in almost every language, in every civilization. But nobody has looked into the psychology of it. The will creates its own way, because the will takes you away from yourself. If you ask me, I would rather like to change this proverb to, "No will, no way, and you are at home." Why go unnecessarily traveling around the world? - because no way leads anywhere, no will leads anywhere except into frustration, misery, failure, even if you succeed.
There is another proverb which says, "Nothing succeeds like success." But my own experience is, "Nothing fails like success." But we are such hypocrites, pretenders. That when you succeed you know you have not gained anything; on the contrary, this stupid idea of success has taken away all your life, and all its songs, and all its poetry, and all its dances. You sacrifice yourself before the false goddess of success, and now what have you got?
