For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I have many products that have a different image depending on the attribute color.
How do I make the relevant image (of the simple product) appear on selection of that color attribute in its dropdown when I view the configurable product in the catalog.
This question is really relevant… and it should be extended to all the fields of the product set linked to the product…
I've posted many messages about this point
I started to work on this myself and got it working… though not exactly as I wanted. For now it requires manual uploads of images with a set naming convention. But as I change the attributes of the configurable product with the drop downs it updates the image if there is one matching the based on the specs. It is a bit of a hack job… and not at all maintainable with newer versions of Magento that will be coming.
I am sure this is something that will be worked on later rather than sooner as there are far more pressing issues to deal with.
This option is not available now
On the configurable product page, you see images and information that was entered for that product and not for the simple product that it is constructed from
Sure it's not possible now but it is very important… It was one of the first thing we changed on OsCommerce to match our customers' needs. And it was made possible with Virtuemart.
I do really expect magento to be able to do it in the near future (like for the first production release)
It is a really good point
I will pass this to our product team, and hope to see it in the future release or gets contributed by the community
Great. Thanks a lot.
I am in the process of evaluating magento. I'll try to bring as much feature request as possible to make this very promising development the best on Ecommerce solution market.
Keep us informed on the decision that was taken by your teams on this point.
Now we have a version 0.9.17740 this feature not implemented. Is it possible in version 1.0?
We'd like to hear from you! Call us, send us an email or talk to sales.

St Basil's Cathedral 450th anniversary marked by Google doodle
Russia celebrates today the 450th anniversary of the Russian Orthodox church, located in Moscow's Red Square, with the opening of an exhibition honouring the "holy fool" Basil the Blessed, to whom the iconic church is dedicated.
The exhibition opens today after a decade-long restoration of the cathedral that cost 390 million rubles (£8.7m).
"This cathedral is a shrine and a symbol of Russia," Deputy Culture Minister Andrey Busygin. "It's a miracle it survived at all."
Built from 1555-1561 by orders of Ivan the Terrible, St Basil's Cathedral suffered heavy damage during the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 and had been a target of Napoleon's a century earlier.
Saint Basil was an unorthodox saint infamous for his naked walks around Moscow in the bitter cold, shoplifting and for his open mockery of Ivan the Terrible, who feared Basil as 'a seer of people's hearts and minds'....

Dairy giant Arla's ingredients business is building a new whey processing facility for €38m to meet rising demand for the dairy fraction in infant, sports and clinical nutrition.
The a2 Milk Company believes its share of the Australian fresh milk market could increase "north of 10%" in the next 12 months.
A combination of demographic, social and economic factors is helping grow India's baby food market, which is set to cross the US$250m mark in 2014, a new report has said.
New Zealand's dairy industry is milking its Australian counterpart out of A$30m a year, according to a dairy farming lobby group that is calling for a free-trade agreement to level the playing field.

Shipments of Hershey's brand flavored milk to China have been suspended after a consignment found to contain unapproved ingredients was destroyed.
Nestlé has recalled a batch of NAN brand infant formula in the Philippines after internal tests discovered products did not contain fatty acids specified on the label.
Australian researchers have identified a "significant positive association" between A1 beta-casein protein and abdominal pain - a finding that has been unsurprisingly welcomed by the a2 Milk Company.
For years a laggard in the dairy stakes, China is now seeing massive growth in its yoghurt drinks market largely because of significant investment and new demand for healthier drinks on the go.
Sales slipped 6% and net profits 11% in Q2 for DSM's human and animal nutrition arm as adverse currency movements, a slow US vitamins and omega-3 food supplements market and the Asian botulism infant formula scare affected earnings.
Labelling of infant formula sold in the Pakistani department of Punjab must now include the warning "mother's milk is the best food for your baby and helps in preventing diarrhoea and other illnesses," according to new prohibition and guidance rules released by the region's government.

Fonterra has reduced its farmgate milk price (FGMP) forecast for the 2014/15 to NZ$6.00 (US$5.11, €3.80) per kg of milk solids (kgMs), citing "continuing volatility."
Western Australia's Brownes Dairy has been fined AU$100,000 (US$94,000, €70,000) over a major spill of unprocessed milk into a waterway.
Sri Lanka will soon "set the pace" for neighboring India in terms of milk quality and yield per cow, Australia's largest livestock exporter, Wellard Rural Exports, has claimed.
Fonterra has acknowledged that proposed job losses at its under-capacity Canpac packing plant can be attributed in part to last year's whey protein concentrate (WPC) botulism scare.

Four players-Woody Shaw's robust-toned trumpet; Joe Henderson's rich tenor sax; Elvin Jones' roiling waves of drums; and Larry Young (who later became known as Khalid Yasin) holding it all together on Hammond organ. Larry took the harmonic feel of Coltrane's tonal years and applied it to the organ. This album was considered a classic when it came out in the mid-sixties, and time (and digital remastering) has only burnished its glow.Starting with the march-like "Zoltan" (inspired by composer Kodaly), no two tracks have the same rhythmic feel. Young's bass lines on the organ pedals are deft and original, and generate heat even through Elvin Jones' layers of percussion. "Monk's Dream" is just organ and drums-keep reminding yourself that. The two horns must leap to stay on top of these tunes. Joe Henderson almost whispers on "Softly As In a Morning Sunrise" . Woody Shaw was only 19 and his tune "Beyond All Limits" gets to be the only bonus track- a true bonus just to hear him solo on this byzantine progression a second time. <BR/>A desert island CD.Was this review helpful?

Posted October 1, 2010
This album is one of the most satisfying jazz albums I've ever bought. First off, it's a treat to hear the organ in such an up- front and wide-open setting; usually when we hear a B-3's sweet tones it is merely tapping out some cute seventh chords in the background of a blues jam. Larry Young is as unrestricted as any jazz musician can sound within the bounds of a chord progression here, playing lines as melodic and purposeful as Freddie Hubbard or as emotional and forceful as Joe Henderson, who also plays in top form on the date in question, within the same solo, all the while holding down a solid bass line with his left hand so masterfully that many have been led in ignorance to think there is a bass player on the recording (there isn't). Woody Shaw, often hailed as one of the most underrated soloists in post-bop, shows his true talent here as well, placing his unorthodox yet fluid phrases in all of the tunes from his own 60's avant-garde flavored "Moontrane" to the very standard standard, "Softly As in a Morning Sunrise," all with the same level of energy and sheer emotion that is par for the course on this fantastic album. So, the soloing is great. Really great. Next order of business: Elvin Freaking Jones! Elvin passed away recently, and I'm sure many people are looking for his most characteristic and celebrated recordings to appreciate what a great talent he was and what an impact he had on jazz drumming and on jazz as a whole. Unity is as good a place to start as any. Though he was obviously most famous for his work in thepurpose-driven John Coltrane Quartet, he displayed hisunique polyrhythmically swinging style on a number of records as a sideman including this one and other perennials such as Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil and Sonny Rollins' Live at the Village Vanguard. It is a joy to hear him communicating with less familiar musicians with the same empathy as he did in the Coltrane quartet. His solos are fantastic as well, with his free, over-the-barline style which often displayed itself in open-ended solos turning up here inside the boundaries of extended form ("Monk's Dream") and in four bar phrases ("Zoltan"). Even within the restriction of specific solo lengths, Elvin plays with the same freedom and motive-oriented melodicism as always. And last but not least: song selection. No Larry Young originals here, but three by Shaw and one by Henderson which are wonderful new (at the time) compositions that have become those type of "standards" that get played from time to time but aren't in the Real Book and don't exactly get called at wedding gigs. The very Monk-ish "Monk's Dream" is a Larry and Elvin duet here, a very good choice and a nice variation for the album's general flow. As said earlier, the standard "Softly..." is treated with the same improvisational attitude as the more modern tunes. Great selections. Okay, if my bombastic ramblings communicate nothing else to you, please hear this last line: buy this album!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Manchester City Still Learning How to Win Gracefully
Manchester City won the Premier League on Sunday. Sergio Agüero scored a last-second goal, everyone went bananas, and all was full of love. It marked the first time City won the title in 44 years, and they did so at the expense of their intercity rivals, Manchester United. Then they started celebrating. That's when things started going wrong.
Oh, it all started out pretty great. Liam Gallagher was throwing beer and Roberto Mancini was overwhelmed and team captain Vincent Kompany called their victory a "miracle." There was even a pitch invasion …
Things started getting off track when Manchester City forward Carlos Tévez (formerly of Manchester United) picked up a sign during City's celebration and parade Monday. He probably didn't look at it very closely. And much has been made about Tévez's, shall we say, lack of interest in the English language. But I feel like "R.I.P." is a phrase that transcends languages.
It's pretty clear that Carlos Tévez didn't stay up all night shading in an "R.I.P. Fergie" sign. Someone handed it to him and he held it up in the air. Tévez, for his part, apologized. "I got carried away in the excitement of the moment and I certainly didn't mean any disrespect to Sir Alex Ferguson, who I admire as a man and a manager," Tévez said. Maybe he knew what it said. Maybe he didn't. To their credit, United have accepted the apology. Chief executive David Gill said: "The club [City] acted pretty quickly. I think it was rather silly, frankly, in terms of what it said, but City acted with commendable speed."
Just as this tempest in a teacup was being … put back in the cupboard (high-five to me for the mixed imagery there), another minor controversy was stirred up, when another City player took a shot at his former club.
Samir Nasri, who not-so-amicably moved from Arsenal to City, early in the 2011-12 season, took a moment from celebrating City's title to throw some shade at the North London club. "People at Arsenal tried to make out that I came here for the money … I hope they are watching me now, collecting my Premier League winner's medal. I believe they have not won a trophy for many years now." Sick Premier League burn. I don't know why he's mad at Arsenal. It's not their fans who harassed him on a highway after a game. [Warning: Some bad words in below video.]
The thing is, it's not like City are the first team to have their players take their moment of glory as an opportunity to stick it to former or hated teams. Even United has a history of doing that …
But it will be interesting to follow how City handle their burgeoning new role of top-dog club. They know how to win on the field. Next comes winning off of it.

The public relations profession has always differentiated from other communications disciplines through an ability to relate to core audiences and influencers. Our intuitive understanding of the power of relationships and how to strengthen them allows us to navigate crises and manage reputations nimbly and effectively.
As new technology has enabled the rise and use of big data, are we leaving appropriate room for the power of intuition?
The Council of Public Relations Firms will address this question among a host of others during the 2014 Critical Issues Forum. The speakers, Teddy Goff, co-founder of Precision Strategy and the Digital Director for President Obama's reelection campaign, Tim Leberecht, CMO of NBBJ and Claudia Perlich, Chief Scientist at dStillery will debate if there is room for big data and intuition to coexist and how the two inform each other in their panel on October 23 in New York.
Big data certainly has a rightful place in PR. It assists companies in filtering through the noise to develop insights that truly inform and help determine impact. It can be so valuable, it's no wonder 91 percent of executives have a big data initiative planned or in progress. Big data is projected to grow from a $28.5B market by the end of 2014, to $50.1B in 2015.
Intuition on the other hand is manufactured from relationships. It is a gut feeling constructed of personal experience, learnings from failures and risk taking. It allows us to ask follow up questions, dig deeper and account for the nuances numbers can't compute. Intuition is why PR can be flexible and impactful. Most importantly, intuition helps us build trust with our most important audiences
Here's an interesting way to think about it – do you prefer radio/satellite stations that are run by algorithms or the tastes and preferences of individual DJ's? Where does the relationship between listener and station exist?
A recent PwC report reflects this inherent tension:
"…Experience and intuition, and data and analysis, are not mutually exclusive. The challenge for business is how best to marry the two. A 'gut instinct' nowadays is likely to be based on increasingly large amounts of data, while even the largest data set cannot be relied upon to make an effective big decision without human involvement."
This tug of war between data and intuition be challenging but harnessing the relationship between the two is an opportunity to leverage all of the organization's resources, both tangible and intangible. We tap our intuition to identify the conversations that need to be started. The right data helps assess the effectiveness and identify opportunities to change course. When leveraged together, intuition and data can provide insight into where the dialogue can be steered. The challenge is to allow ample room for both.
We look forward to further discussion at the forum on October 23rd. To register to the event click here.

6 Steps to Fitness Success
By following this cut-and-dry blueprint, you'll never have to worry about building an ineffective workout plan again.
Some Last-Minute Tips
Finally, always remember that when the number of reps decrease the load should increase. So if you are doing sets of three reps the weight on the bar should certainly be higher than what you would be using for 10 reps. And if your program has more than 24 total sets in any given day, take another shot at it because you are focusing on variety more than quality.

Brach's Candy Cane Candy Corn
New this year for the holidays is Brach's Candy Cane Candy Corn. I've never seen a product that uses the word candy so much in its name.
Now, there's nothing new about Christmas-themed candy corn, Reindeer Corn has been around at least since 1997, probably longer though perhaps by a different name. What I was intrigued by when I saw this on the shelf was that it's called Candy Cane Candy Corn. Though the package doesn't actually describe what's inside, I was left to hope that it was peppermint flavored until I read the ingredients which list peppermint oil.
It was expensive, for candy corn, at $2.99 for the bag, but it is 15 ounces, which is just shy of a pound ... and more candy corn than I actually needed.
The pieces are actually different from Reindeer Corn, the current Jelly Belly version features a red base, green middle and white tip. These have a red base, white middle and green tip. Honestly, if I was making this, I'd make them in two colors only - red base with white tip and white base with red tip ... the effect of the randomized pieces would be much more candy-cane-ish than the inclusion of green.
The red base, however, uses Red #40 to color it. Which I don't like. Which disappoints me.
In the package the candies smell pleasantly minty, but not overwhelming.
The pieces are beautifully formed and very nicely made. There were very few broken or incomplete pieces. I always like how Brach's balances the slender look of their candy corn with a tender bite. They're soft but not crumbly or sticky.
The mint flavor is like the fondant filling of a peppermint patty. So basically, if you like peppermint patties without the chocolate (and maybe a little food coloring) then you'll find these refreshing. I compared the minty flavor to the center of a Pearson's Peppermint Pattie (because that's what I had sitting around in inventory) and found that the fondant inside the patty is a little fluffier, but otherwise has the same smooth texture and mint density.
I think this is a great idea. It's a great little after dinner mint that looks great in a bowl but isn't chalky or messy or too sensitive to heat. I'm shocked that I'm not only giving these a positive review, but going further to recommend them. Often I end a review by "wanting" something else out of the product, like a different flavor version, but this is good the way it is.
(Okay, I still kind of want root beer float candy corn.)

Crispy M&Ms (Returning 2015)
Mars made an exciting announcement earlier this fall that they're bringing M&Ms Crispy back to American stores starting January 2015.
Some folks at Mars were good enough to send me some samples (though not in the final packaging, so I included the press release version of the package design for reference).
You can read more on Crispy M&Ms in this write up I did a few years ago when I reviewed the European version. Basically, the American version of Crispy M&Ms came out in 1998 and were discontinued in 2005. They had their fans, and current social media allowed them to speak directly with Mars to voice their enthusiasm for the return of the candy.
The Crispy M&M, if you've never heard of them, are described as feature a unique, crispy center covered in creamy milk chocolate, enclosed in a colorful candy shell. The center is like a little cereal puff.
The new package will hold only 1.35 ounces, which is more than the Pretzel M&Ms which are only 1.14 ounces but less than the standard Milk Chocolate M&Ms which is 1.69 ounces.
The new version comes in the same color array as regular M&Ms: red, orange, yellow, blue, green and brown.
The pieces are much smaller than I expected, since I've had the European versions, which are closer to the size of a Peanut M&M. These are a similar diameter to a Milk Chocolate M&M, but puffy. But they're also quite irregular. They're lumpy and sometimes close to spherical, while others are long or pointy in spots.
They're easy to bite and crunch, and extremely light. The center crunch is kind of like the flavor of a corn flake ... very mild with only a hint of salt and malt. But for the most part they're neutral. The chocolate is sweet, but otherwise generic. The crunchy shell provides a different sweetness compared to the chocolate and a different more brittle crunchy compared to the centers.
Overall, it's a pleasant snack that I have no trouble scooping by the handful. But it made me wish for something else ... I wanted a Malted Milk M&M. This is not so hard for Mars to manage, they'd just take the Maltesers they make in the UK and give them a colorful candy shell.
The earlier versions of Crispy M&Ms used a blue wrapper, but that has since been usurped by the Pretzel M&Ms, so the 2015 version will be in lime green packages. I can't say for certain that these are better or similar to the originals, as it's been a long time since I've had them. They definitely fit into a niche that's not well served in the chocolate market right now, which is the crossover with snacks. Here's what the Crispy M&Ms announcement said about it:
M&Ms briefly had Mint Crispy M&Ms as a limited edition.
The European Crispy M&Ms featured mostly natural colors for the shells, which meant a slightly muted palette. Natural colors can sometimes bring their own flavors, though, so some folks can tell the difference between the colors (I can usually pick out the yellows and oranges by taste). It would have been interesting, though, for Mars to make this revival of Crispy M&Ms with the European colors, just to see if that would catch in the US.
I'm curious to see how Crispy M&Ms do this time around. The survival rate for revived candies isn't great, but the success rates for completely new candies aren't any better. I have no stats for that, just personal experience paging through the blog at home many candies I've reviewed over the past 9 years that don't exist any longer. Maybe read about M&Ms Premiums or compare the early Mega M&Ms that were discontinued, and the new version.

Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Spiced Almond
I've reviewed a couple of the new Ghirardelli panned chocolate items, but up until now they've been pretty standard items. I was intrigued enough with the description of the new Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Spiced Almond to pick them up.
The perfect snack to satisfy your craving for crunchy nuts and smooth chocolate ... with a little spice.
I liked the package. It's very easy to understand, the images on the front and back are appealing, clear and not too fussy. But mostly I appreciated that the nutrition label and ingredients are easy to read. The ingredients list the allergens in bold, as well as noting them at the end of the list and it was all in a typeface that was large enough for me to read without glasses.
The ingredients are pretty clean with no artificial flavors or colors. They even helpfully list out what the spices are: cinnamon, allspice and cayenne. Instead of just mixing the spices into the chocolate to create something slightly gritty, Ghirirdelli instead made a spiced toffee glaze for the almonds before panning them in chocolate.
These remind me of the Lindt Holiday Almonds that come out seasonally, but are also coated with powdered sugar.
The almonds are big and glossy. They don't smell of spice, just a light sweet dairy note. They have a great crunch if you bite them. The glaze is crispy and the almond are tougher and have a substantial crunch. The chocolate is soft and combines readily with the elements. It's all a bit sweet, even with the neutral almonds to balance it out. The glaze has a generous touch of the spices, with quite a bit of cayenne that builds up slowly until there's a light burn after about five or six.
I didn't care for the how sweet they were, maybe I just wanted a smidge of salt in them or a darker milk chocolate. But they are less sweet than the Lindt sister confection, so I'll take that as progress. I have to say that if this trend of mixing the textures of a glazed nut with chocolate takes off, there are a lot of variations that could be quite delectable. The best that I'd tried to date would be the Sconza 70% Toffee Almonds.
Ghirardelli is owned by Lindt & Sprungli. They don't have a lot on their website about the sourcing of their cacao except for a statement that they're in compliance with the California transparency act and then point you to the Lindt policies. Now that Lindt owns Russell Stover, they're the third largest chocolate company in the United States, and will probably have a lot more clout when it comes to insisting on transparency and certification within their supply chain for all ingredients.

Good and DeLISH Sea Salt and Turbinado Sugar Dark Chocolate Almonds
House brands are often cheap knock-offs of well known brands. But every once in a while a house brand has some sort of wizard-visionary behind the scenes ... I think Walgreen's found one and put them to work on their Good & deLISH line of candies and snacks.
Many of these new candies are on trend with flavors like Red Velvet and Caramel Apple but also do a better job than some of the major brands like Russell Stover and Ghirardelli at creating well-priced candies you'd prefer to not share.
One of the items I found on the shelves kind of hidden in with the nuts were these new snack containers of candy or chocolate covered nuts and fruits. This one is Good and deLISH Sea Salt and Turbinado Sugar Dark Chocolate Almonds, a name so long it's a wonder they fit it on the little wrapper.
Those of you've been reading for a while or have a Trader Joe's in your area may recognize these, they're similar to the Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Almonds. They're an almond, covered in dark chocolate that's also studded with small sea salt and raw sugar nuggets.
The package is a squat plastic jar that holds 5 ounces. The wide black cap is to be used as a snack cup, perhaps in the car. The jar is wide mouthed, so you can get your fingers in there, if you're not using the lid as a dish. The overall look of the packaging is utilitarian but not at all appetizing. It looks like something I'd be more likely to find in use to store bolts and fasteners than candy.
They're kind of homely little nuggets. It's a crunchy roasted almond covered in semi-sweet chocolate (I'd guess about 50% cacao) with a little dash of salt or sugar sometimes ... then there's a slight dusting of cocoa on the outside. The chocolate is sweet, not exceptionally smooth and boosted a little bit by some extra butterfat (not a vegan product, sorry). The nuts are crunchy and well roasted, with skins on. This leads to a lingering fiber to the chew. The chocolate has a light bitter note towards the end as well, but the beginning and middle is quite sweet for a dark chocolate item.
The thing is, I didn't love these the first time I had them at Trader Joe's, I don't love them now, though on paper they seem to have all the right qualities. I want to know more about the chocolate in them and I want a little more consistency with the sugar and salt on top. While I found the Trader Joe's batch I had too salty, these were merely too sweet ... even before the sugar crystals kicked in. I'll see what else this line has to offer when they're on sale ... I do like the concept of the package and would probably find this great for car or plane trips. The Walgreen's site also shows this in an 11 ounce size, which is likely to be a better value.

Haribo Sour Bears
Haribo makes the number one selling gummi bear in the United States, the Haribo Gold Bear. But Haribo makes a wide variety of other gummi candy, including sours. This year Haribo introduced the Haribo Sour Gold Bears which brings together their assortment of five flavors with a sour sand coating.
This new product follows the trend where the sour version of an established candy gets a sour sanding. This has happened with Skittles, Sour Patch Kids (original candy was Swedish Fish) and Sour Punch Straws (Red Vines). I'm not sure why the sour can't just be in the candy, though I appreciate the texture change.
Right now they're available in stores in the regular peg bags and in bulk, but I expect they'll come in other variety packages soon. I picked mine up at Cost Plus World Market, but I know that they're in pretty wide release. I'm a little irritated at the size of the bag. The bag is the same size it's always been, but it seems like there's less and less candy in them. This bag holds 4.5 ounces, but years ago it was 6 ounces.
The back of the package helpfully lists all the flavors with their colors: pineapple, raspberry, strawberry, lemon and orange. Though some of the Haribo gummis use real fruit juice and natural colorings, these use a blend of natural and artificial flavors and artificial colors.
Raspberry (red) - this is one of those bears that make me love Haribo. Their red is raspberry, not cherry. The flavor is more on the tart side of the berry flavors, more like an actual raspberry than a raspberry jam. There are seed notes, but less of the flowery perfume that the standard bear delivers.
Orange is fun. The outside starts nicely tart, but not too puckery ... it's just enough to give my jaw a little tingle. The sour flavor continues with the gummi itself, though not every flavorful in its own right. It's missing a lot of the orange peel notes that are usually in a Haribo Bear, but this is still fun.
Pineapple (pale) - this has always been my favorite flavor in Haribo bears, and this one is no different. The first touch to my tongue reveals that this is not ordinary sour sanding on the bears ... there's actual flavor. The pineapple is floral and tangy and zippy, more like fresh pineapple than the canned stuff.
Lemon (yellow) - this is sharp but with a lot of zest and juice notes. It's not quite as sour as I'd hope a sour bear should be, but it still holds up well as the chew goes along. This one definitely showed that the centers are not just the same Haribo Bears with a sour coating, they're actually more sour on the inside.
Strawberry (green) - yes, the package confirms that green is strawberry - it's not lime and it's not apple. This one is a little disappointing, the sour levels seem uneven and less on the berry spectrum and kind of veers off into watermelon. However, it goes well with all the other bears even if it's not as intensely flavored.
I liked or loved every bear in this assortment. They're tried and true classics with a little bit more intensity than the standard Gold Bear. They're sour, but it took most of the bag over three days to finally burn a hole in my tongue. I'm sad that these didn't come out 30 years ago, but I'm glad they're here now.

Ritter Sport Coffee and Hazelnuts (Winter Edition)
Ritter Sport has been releasing seasonal variations on their popular square bars for the past few years. Only in the past few years have they appeared reliably on US shelves, and usually for the Winter Editions.
The new Ritter Sport Coffee & Hazelnuts is a new bar, though it combines elements from other existing bars. I found my bar at Cost Plus World Market with the Christmas candies, they had all three varieties for this season, including the return of the Caramelized Almond and the also new Vanilla Crescents. It's nice to see new bars in the mix, but disappointing that they're all milk chocolate. This bar was $2.99, a smidge higher than the regulars, which sell for $2.49.
The bar looks like all the other Ritter Sport bars ... a 4x4 grid of sections, each with the Ritter Sport logo on top. This is a filled bar, a coffee cream studded with crushed hazelnuts. It's a simple concept and rather baffling that no one has been doing this all along.
The ingredients, however, were not promising when it comes to cocoa content:
I'm not against fat, I love the stuff. All that fat made this bar pretty high on the calorie count, 172 calories per ounce ... that's 600 for the whole bar (for reference the whole hazelnut dark bar has 550 calories for the whole bar). Ritter Sport has been pretty good about the sourcing of its cacao, but they're not forthcoming about their palm oil. For that reason and others mostly of taste preferences, when buying their bars for just eating, I usually stick to the solid chocolate varieties (or marzipan).
It looks great, smells mildly like coffee and cocoa but mostly sweet. The bite is soft, as most of the milk chocolate Ritter Sports are. The cream center has a cool melt and a vague coffee note to it, but it's not as strong as the Espresso Bar, which is disappointing. The cream center is a little slick and thin, ultimately. The bar is extremely sweet for something that's supposed to be coffee and hazelnuts. There are some hazelnuts, enough for a crunch and a touch of gianduia in the center. I really wanted a deep roasted experience ... the mix of the hazelnuts and coffee were promising, but ultimately not as deep as I'd hoped. But if you like Ice Cubes, you'll appreciate the decadence of this bar. Dark chocolate would improve this bar immensely.
It's not a bad bar, but like many of the bars that Ritter Sport has been making, especially the filled ones, they're sweet and too oily without enough flavor. I want more dark chocolate options.

See's Bridge Mix
I picked up the Bridge Mix from See's Candies over the weekend, mostly because the comments from readers were so adamant that it was worth having a try.
At $18 a pound it's about 2.5 times more expensive than the Brach's Bridge Mix. It also has all natural chocolate and at least lists a sample of what is probably in the mix: Bite-sized pieces of raisins, coconut, caramel, brittles, almonds, pecans, nougats and more covered in milk and dark chocolate.
The kind folks at See's actually gave me a little cup of the mix to sample before I made my purchase ... because it just comes in this one pound box. The box has four little sections, which keep the mix from wandering too much. I don't know if I would necessarily serve it from the box, but the nice thing about Bridge Mix it's a panned candy, which means that it has a little glaze on each piece to keep it from sticking together and you can put it out in a bowl without worrying that it'll all melt into a lump.
One of the first things I should mention is that I'm allergic to walnuts. Not deathly allergic, as I'm still alive, but for the most part my reactions to walnut traces lately has been a swollen throat and flushed skin. The See's Bridge Mix does contain walnuts. One of the items is chocolate covered nougat, which has walnuts in it. It's hard to tell, in Bridge mix, which pieces are which, so it's a little difficult for me review these in the normal manner. For any piece that is the right shape to be a nougat, I have to split open first to see what's in it.
The good part is that most of the pieces are easy to just chomp. The little items that look like raisins or almonds are raisins and almonds. The pillow things that look like molasses chips are molasses chips. The lumpy things that look like pecans are pecans. It was the little cubes I had the trouble with ... which leads to the general complaint with Bridge Mix.
Dark Chocolate covered Caramel Rectangles had a more stringy, chewy caramel than the little cube ones I found a few times. These were quite nice, but maybe a little heavy on the chocolate.
Dark Chocolate Lump is Rum Raisin Nougat This is the piece that has walnuts in it.
Milk Chocolate Cube is Caramel The picture makes this one look like it might be a chocolate caramel, but it tasted rather rich but caramelly overall.
Milk Chocolate Rounded Cube is Butterscotch The See's Butterscotch is one of my favorite pieces. This version is a little drier and has a different set of ratios for the chocolate and center. I prefer the enrobed piece (not the bar), but the creamy melt of the chocolate and sort of buttery brown sugar fudge do work well, especially with the nuts. This and the caramel looked the same to me, and most of the milk cubes were Butterscotch.
Dark Chocolate Cube is Toasted Coconut These are wholly unexpected for this type of mix. You can see from the cross section, these are packed with coconut, so they're not too sweet and it is nicely toasted to bring out the tropical flavor.
Flat Milk Chocolate Square is Toffee (not pictured) I like the See's Toffee, it's crisp and buttery and easy to bite. The toffee notes are good, but for some reason it's never had that smooth burnt sugar dissolve that I often crave. It's a personal preference issue.
Milk Chocolate Pillow is Molasses Crisp. These might have more chocolate on the regular version available by themselves. They're crisp and crunchy, with just enough aeration to the honey-molasses candy to make them easy to bite. The lingering honey notes of the center goes well with just about everything else in this mix.
Milk Chocolate Pecans & Almonds - the pecans are fantastic. They're roasted perfectly, they have a great woodsy maple flavor, so you get a sweet crunch combined with the chocolate. The almonds are very small, if I didn't know any better, I would have assumed that they were peanuts. They're well toasted and decent, a good crunch and probably a different variety than the nonpareil almonds I've been eating, because they're less fibery.
Dark Chocolate Covered Raisins are quite niece. The raisins are big, though the chocolate isn't particularly dark, it is generous.
The mix is very strong, it doesn't have any items that feel like they're cheap filler. I did find that the almonds were left at the end, I was picking out the big bits. But I think once I figured out the code, it was easier to mix and match without worrying that I was going to get a "bad piece." I do not recommend playing roulette if you have a food sensitives when it comes to this sort of thing.
I would prefer an actual guide on the package, or at least a real listing the items that are in i. I'd also like to just make my own mix… but that's not the way mixes work. I would definitely buy this again. But I play Canasta, not Bridge.

Well, friends, it's the Saturday in-between the end of classes and the beginning of finals week, so I'll be out in the garden weedin' and grillin' up a storm instead of in front of this computer screen for most of the day. I'm turning this blog over to smarter writers and bloggers than I, for your degustation:
- Tony Grafton reviewsAndrew Delbanco's College: What it Was, Is, and Should Be. Of all of the recent books on what's wrong with higher education, this one seemed to me to be among the most worthy. I've had Delbanco's scholarship on my shelves since undergraduate days, and as he is a Columbia University faculty member he's doesn't blame the faculty for all of our current woes. Grafton finds Delbanco's contribution stronger on the Was and Is parts than the Should Bes–in other words, a better history of higher ed and diagnosis of its current ills and perhaps weaker on prescriptive solutions, but it seems like getting the Was and Is parts right is a good enough reason to read it.
- Echidne reflects on the end of the Cold War, and concludes that without the atheistic communist foe, capitalism "has gone wild:" "It is ironic that communism was what kept the American type capitalism decent.

Suicide attacks kill 19 during US official's visitBy KIMBERLY DOZIER

Afghan Army soldiers stop people from getting close to the Afghan Defense Ministry after a suicide bomber on a bicycle struck outside the building, killing at least nine Afghan civilians. Half an hour later, 10 people including eight children were killed in another suicide blast in Khost.KABUL, Afghanistan Militants staged two suicide attacks that killed at least 19 people on Saturday, the first full day of U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagels visit to Afghanistan.
They were a fresh reminder of the challenges posed by insurgents to the U.S.-led NATO force as it hands over the countrys security to the Afghans.
This attack was a message to him, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said of Hagel, in an email to reporters about one of the bombings, outside the countrys Defense Ministry in Kabul. He did not comment on the other attack.
Hagel was nowhere near the Kabul blast, but heard it across the city. He told reporters traveling with him that he wasnt sure what it was when he heard the explosion.
Were in a war zone. Ive been in war, so shouldnt be surprised when a bomb goes off or theres an explosion, said Hagel, a Vietnam War veteran.
Asked what his message to the Taliban would be, he said that the U.S. was going to continue to work with its allies to insure that the Afghan people have the ability to develop their own country and democracy.
In the first attack, a suicide bomber on a bicycle struck outside the Afghan Defense Ministry early Saturday morning, just as employees were arriving for work.
About a half hour later, another suicide bomber hit a joint NATO and Afghan patrol near a police checkpoint in Khost city, the capital of Khost province in eastern Afghanistan, said provincial spokesman Baryalai Wakman.
Nine Afghan civilians were killed in the bombing at the ministry and 14 wounded, and two Afghan policemen and eight children died in the blast in Khost while another two Afghan civilians were wounded, according to a statement from President Hamid Karzais office.
Karzai condemned the bombings, calling them un-Islamic. The perpetrators of such attacks are cowards who are killing innocent children at the orders of foreigners, he said in a statement emailed to reporters. Karzai usually uses the term foreigners to refer to Pakistan, which he blames for failing to crack down on Taliban militants who take sanctuary there.
Hagels first visit to Kabul as Pentagon chief comes as the U.S. and Afghanistan grapple with a number of disputes, from the aborted handover of a main detention facility canceled at the last moment late Friday as a deal for the transfer broke down to Afghan President Hamid Karzais demand that U.S. special operations forces withdraw from Wardak province just outside Kabul over allegations of abuse.
Karzai released a statement late Saturday saying the transfer of the prison to Afghan control would go ahead in the coming week. It was unclear what derailed Saturdays ceremony. U.S. officials declined to comment on the statement, which was released after he met with top military commander in Afghanistan Gen. Joseph Dunford this evening in Kabul
The prison transfer, originally slated for 2009, has been repeatedly delayed because of disputes between the U.S. and Afghan governments about whether all detainees should have the right to a trial and who will have the ultimate authority over the release of prisoners the U.S. considers a threat.
The Afghan government has maintained that it needs full control over which prisoners are released as a matter of national sovereignty. The issue has threatened to undermine ongoing negotiations for a bilateral security agreement that would govern the presence of U.S. forces in Afghanistan after the current combat mission ends in 2014.
Regarding Wardak, Karzai set a deadline for Monday for the pullout of the U.S. commandos, over allegations that joint U.S. and Afghan patrols engaged in a pattern of torture, kidnappings and summary executions.
Each of those accusations has been answered and were not involved, said Brigadier Adam Findlay, NATOs deputy chief of staff of operations, in an interview with The Associated Press Saturday. There are obviously atrocities occurring there, but its not linked to us, and the kind of atrocities we are seeing, fingers cut off, other mutilations to bodies, is just not the way we work.
Findlay said NATO officials have made provisional plans to withdraw special operations forces, if Karzai sticks to his edict after meetings this weekend with Hagel and top military commander in Afghanistan Gen. Joseph Dunford.
What weve got to try to do is go to a middle ground that meets the presidents frustration, but also keeps insurgents from using Wardak as a staging ground to launch attacks on the capital, Findlay said. That plan would be that you would put in your more conventional forces into Wardak, to replace the special operators and maintain security, he said.
NATO officials see the weekend violence as part of the Talibans coming campaign for the spring fighting season. Theres a series of attacks that have started as the snow is thawing. We had a potential insider attack yesterday ... and theres been a number of attacks on the border, Findlay explained.
The suspected insider attack occurred in Kapisa province in eastern Afghanistan several hours before Hagel arrived Friday. Three men presumed to be Afghan soldiers forced their way onto a U.S. base and opened fire, killing one U.S. civilian contractor and wounding four U.S. soldiers, according to a senior U.S. military official.
The official said investigators were 95 percent certain it was an insider attack, because the three men came from the Afghan side of the joint U.S.-Afghan base, and rammed an Afghan army Humvee through a checkpoint dividing the base, before jumping out and opening fire on the Americans with automatic weapons. All three attackers were killed.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
The Taliban said it was not behind the Tagab base attack, and has not yet weighed in on the attack in Khost, but the group claimed responsibility for the morning attack at the ministry shortly after it happened.MORE IN This Just InVermont hazardous-materials team members were at the Asa Bloomer state office building in...

At least once a week, 24-year-old Eric Recker opens an Excel spreadsheet to check his budget. After graduating from Michigan State in 2011 with student loan and credit card debt, Recker knew he needed to be strict with his money.
Now, two years later, he's paid off his credit cards and two student loans. He also puts 15 percent of his paycheck into savings and contributes to his retirement account. While he's not taking fancy trips or eating out every night, by sticking to his budget he gets to enjoy small pleasures, like going to see his favorite team, the Lions, play the Bears on Sunday.
"I realized I had money to go to the game because I stuck to my budget," he said. "I do stuff, but I try to be frugal about it while still being able to enjoy myself and not be anti-social. That can be tough line to walk, but it makes the rest of the month worth it."
Recker is not the only one working to shed his debt load and become financially secure. Since the recession began, Americans on the whole have started engaging in more financially responsible behaviors. According to a recent study from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, overall household debt declined by $78 billion last quarter, putting it 12 percent lower than its highest levels in fall 2008 and at its lowest level since 2006. And among young people, savings have increased.
"A couple of silver linings have come out of the recession, even though it was very harrowing time to live through," said John Sweeney, the executive vice president of Retirement & Investing Strategies at Fidelity Investments. "We saw some changes in behavior — reducing debt, increased saving for retirement — that tend to be lasting structural trends."
While it is going to take a balance of borrowing and savings to create long-term financially stability, experts say there are positive signs that Americans have learned financial lessons from the recession.
Responsible behaviors
Since the depths of the recession, Americans have become more frugal. Overall, household debt has been on the decline, while mortgage balances and credit card debt have shown major reductions. Americans' credit card debt remains 16.5 percent below its July 2008 peak, according to the Federal Reserve. And New York Fed data showed housing debt has come down to $8.38 trillion from $9.99 trillion in mid-2008, a 16 percent drop.
Another good sign that Americans are getting on stronger financial footing is the decrease in delinquency rates — that is, people are actually managing to pay back the debts that they do have. Current delinquencies on mortgages are nearly 26 percent lower compared to the same time last year, according to a TransUnion study. Even in areas where debt levels are growing — student loan debt and car debt — the delinquency rate on both of those types of debt has declined since June, according to New York Fed — which is a sign of more stability in the job market and personal finances.
In tandem with paying down of debt, Americans are now feeling better about their economic situations since the recession began. A survey of investors done by Fidelity Investments found that people are becoming more confident and prepared for bumps in the road. When the financial crisis started, 64 percent of investors reported they were either scared or confused about their financial futures, while 45 percent indicated they were prepared or confident. But today, the situation is almost reversed, with 61 percent saying that they currently feel confident or prepared and 45 percent feel scared or confused.
And in a positive feedback loop, those that have become more confident are engaging in positive investing behaviors like increasing savings, decreasing their debt, and starting an emergency fund. Sweeney said these behaviors are particularly promising because they tend to be long-term changes.
