MADISON, Wisconsin — A former state Division of Criminal Investigation supervisor has acknowledged that he built and sold guns without a federal firearms license, a newspaper reported.
The Wisconsin State Journal reported (http://bit.ly/1A4tHk6 ) in Sunday's editions that records it obtained from the state Justice Department show Jay Smith acknowledged in an email to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that he built and sold guns for others, but he never made a profit. He said he sold the weapons to fellow law enforcement officers, whom he called his "brothers," and simply wanted to recoup his costs. The emails also show top DOJ officials knew Smith was making and selling guns at least since 2007.
An ATF investigation into Smith last year resulted in no charges. An agency spokesman has said individual private weapons are common and that selling them without a license typically doesn't rise to a federal violation unless the seller is engaging in regular, consistent sales for profit. Buyers don't face any liability.
Dan Bethards, a former DCI agent who worked under Smith, brought forward allegations in 2012 that Smith was building and selling firearms without a license, including selling two weapons to Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen. DOJ spokeswoman Dana Brueck told the newspaper that any suggestion that the attorney general acted illegally is false.
Bethards was fired in October 2013 for violating state Department of Justice rules. Deputy Attorney General Kevin St. John wrote in Bethards' termination letter that Bethards' allegations against Smith were insincere and he failed to conduct himself honestly. The letter also accused Bethards of using the state email system to coordinate the purchase of firearm parts for his own gun business, All Weapons One, which Bethards ran in addition to serving as a state agent.
The records the State Journal obtained show Smith also used his state email to arrange gun sales. Brueck defended the decision not to discipline Smith over his email use. She said Bethards was disciplined for numerous and significant violations of department policy, including using state resources to conduct an ongoing business. That wasn't Smith's situation, Brueck said.
Bethards told the newspaper the records it obtained show his allegations were true. Bethards has filed a series of whistleblower complaints over his termination.

On Mar 1, Zacks Investment Research upgraded
GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc.
) to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
Why the Upgrade?
GAIN Capital has been witnessing rising earnings estimates on the
back of strong fourth-quarter 2013 results. The investment broker
has reported positive earnings surprises in 3 of the last 4
quarters with an earnings beat of 46%. Moreover, the long-term
expected earnings growth rate for this stock is 16%.
GAIN Capital reported fourth-quarter 2013 adjusted earnings on
Feb 27 with earnings per share of 13 cents easily beating the
Zacks Consensus Estimate of 7 cents by 85.71%. Moreover, earnings
compared favorably with the prior-year loss of 11 cents.
Better-than-expected results were driven by strong top-line
performance, which more than doubled on a year-over-year basis.
However, elevated expenses (up 96%) were a dampener.
GAIN Capital's EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortization) stood at $13.7 million, up
substantially year over year. Moreover, EBITDA margin stood at
16% compared with negative 15% in the year-ago period.

$39.9 million, up 8.4% year over year. Moreover, shareholders'
equity stood at $234.3 million compared with $163.7 million as of

Following fourth-quarter 2013 results, the Zacks Consensus
Estimate for 2014 moved up 6.4% to $1.00 per share, over the last
7 days. For 2015, the Zacks Consensus Estimate advanced 4.2% to

The Nemenoff Report Bonds Higher, S&P's Lower, Silver Higher
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Marc Nemenoff | January 30, 2013 12:55 AM EST
Financials: Mar. Bonds are currently 5 higher at 143'26 and the 10 Yr. Note 3.5 higher at 131'10.5. Today begins a 2 day FOMC meeting. At this time I do not expect any change in near term Fed policy. What could possibly change is the long term policy of quantitative easing which has been predicted to last through at least late 2014, early 2015. I will be on the sidelines until tomorrow afternoon after the Fed announcements.
Grains: Mar. Corn is currently 2'4 higher at 731'6, Mar. Beans 3'6 higher at 1451'4, Mar. Wheat 1'6 higher at 781'2 and Dec. Wheat 2'0 higher at 816'2. My bias remains to the long side of Mar. Corn on breaks to the 712'0 area. Near term resistance remains in the 734'0 area and then 740'0. A close above 740'0 may be considered an upside breakout with the potential of a rally to the 765'0 level. I still like out of the money call spreads in Dec. Wheat as a long term trade.
Cattle: Apr. LC are currently 35 lower at 133.05 and Mar. FC 55 lower at 149.35 after closing sharply higher (150+ points) in response to Friday's Cattle on Feed Report. We are currently on the sidelines as far as speculative positions are concerned. Short hedgers who are short futures and long out of the money calls may consider either taking profits on the calls in Feeder Cattle or selling further out of the money calls (at least 2 strike prices) o take advantage of the recent upswing in Feeder Cattle prices.
Silver: Mar. Silver is currently 32 cents higher at 31.11 and Apr. Gold 9.50 dollars higher at 1664.50. We remain long Silver. If you went long Gold yesterday below the 1657.00 level either take profits or raise your protective sell stop to your break even level. Near term resistance is the 1674.00 level. Longer term resistance is the 1690.00 level. Technically, the market is in a short term downtrend and trading below the 200 day moving average of 1668.00.
S&P's: Mar. S&P's are currently 4.00 lower at at 1493.00. Support is currently 1483.00 and resistance the 1502.00-1507.00 area. We continue to hold a small short position.
Currencies: As of this writing the Mar. Euro is currently 10 lower at 1.3450, the Swiss 24 higher at 1.0826, the Yen 17 higher at 1.1040 and the Pound 35 higher at 1.5727. I am currently on the sidelines. Levels to watch: Long term support of 1.0800 in the Yen and long term resistance of 1.3500 in the Euro.
Regards, Marc

Hi! I am a FTM to a nine week old little girl. We have been having issues with congestion for about two weeks now, and last week LO started having bloody stools. They sent stool samples to the lab and said there are high levels of fat, which can be indicative of a milk allergy and to eliminate all dairy from my diet while BFing.
I just got off the phone with the nurse about two hours ago, have been googling since, and I just feel completely overwhelmed! I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow for LO's two month check up, so I can ask him more about what's going on then, but in the mean time can somebody point me towards some helpful websites for eliminating dairy while BFing? I'm not entirely sure what I can and cannot eat.... I love milk, cheese, chocolate. Obviously I can't eat any of that, but how do I know whether cereals, granola bars, stuff like that are ok? Again I'm just really overwhelmed!
Any and all advice appreciated! Thank you so much!

I am having a tough time reconciling all of the Thomas Durhams listed as the father of George Durham (1720-1766).
One family tree has Thomas Durham 1660-1715; another 1720s-1774; another born 1696. All assume he was from England.
Thomas supposedly met Margaret Lindsay (who was reportedly Scottish) enroute to the new world. A Scottish maiden boarding a ship by herself? There are Thomas Durham listed in Scotland at the same time as the English Thomas Durham. How do we know which one is the right Thomas?

Mac Miller - I Am Who Am (Killin' Time)
Artist: Mac Miller
Producer: AdoTheGod
Album: Watching Movies With The Sound Off
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 4 votes )
Yeezy wasn't the only rapper to make claims of divinity on a June 18, album release. Mac Miller took a slightly more oblique approach, quoting Exodus 3:14 in the title of LP inclusion and newly-selected single I Am Who Am (Killin' Time). Unlike West, though, the indie phenom is more concerned with using his godlike powers to make a difference than lording (no pun intended) them over the competition. Backed by the dreamy sample work of beatmaker/deity AdoTheGod, Miller makes clear that he's not just rocking mics for his own benefit: "I waste away in a room spittin' these raps / Yahweh put the world in my hands; I'm givin' it back." Niki Randa provides ethereal hook and backing vocals, and Rex Arrow directs the joint's meditative visuals. You can find I Am Who Am and countless other fresh cuts on Mac's Watching Movies With the Sound Off LP, out now via Rostrum Records.

Finding the time to write your books
It is quite hard to be a one-man band when you're bootstrapping a business as an author. You don't have the money to be able to afford help to do the marketing of your books for you. So it is quite likely you spend a lot of time doing that of work when you would rather be writing your next book. If you are a proper writer though, then you don't really have much choice, you just have to find the time to do what you have to do. I think that the problem with the marketing side of being a bestselling author is that there are so many suggestions of what you need to do to be successful that it is quite bewildering. You have to ask yourself how long you are going to spend testing one way of building your business compared to another. Even then, things change and what worked six months ago might not work during the next six months. So when you are starting off, what do you do?
One book is not enough
It seems to be a particularly good course of action right at the very beginning to just get those books written. It isn't a good plan just to write one book and then spend the next six months to a year promoting the book using whatever means you can find. From what I have seen so far, it seems that the best thing to do is to write two or three books, or more. While you are writing those spend a basic amount of time building up a website with a following and in particular an email list. This is my plan for my Good and Geeky Books brand.
Give your audience some content to find
If you're going to have a website then you need to have some content on it. So the thing to do is to spend 15 minutes to half an hour per day adding small articles to your website. Write about things which are connected to the topics of your books. Maybe when you have been doing this for about six months or more you can cut back to only once a week of making a longer blog post. Anyway, you are going to want to have some content on your website to draw people in and to start a conversation going with your projected audience. You can be letting your audience know how things are going with your writing. You may ask your website viewers if they would like to be beta readers for your upcoming books. This can be very useful if you don't have a lot of money to pay for a professional editor.
The email list is priority one
You need to start creating your email list as soon as possible. For this you will need to set up an account with something like MailChimp to collect those email addresses. On your website I suggest that you put on something that gives you friendly pop-ups inviting people to subscribe to your email list. You could just get a form from MailChimp that you can post onto your website, but I have found that using the pop-ups, people are more likely to subscribe. You will need to write a couple of welcome to the email list messages, to send out automatically when people sign up. You might also want to encourage subscribers by giving away something that they might find useful and makes a connection to your content. This could be a useful info-graphic or it could be a short story, or maybe at the early stages you could promise that you will give them your first book for free. When you have a few names upon your list you should then schedule to send an email once a week to your subscribers. In these emails you can put in links to your website highlighting a popular post from the week. It seems to be a good idea to try and engage with your subscribers and to ask them questions. Find out from them what they would like to see in your website and your books. So this could be quite a good way of gathering in ideas for your digital content.
The priorities for the self published author one-man band
- Write your books – Launch with three or four e-books as it gives your audience other books of yours to buy after they have read one of them.
- Create a website – Give your audience something to read that is connected to your stories so that you find people that are interested in what your books are about.
- Start your email subscriber list – It is never too soon to start collecting email addresses. These are the people that will be your fans and hopefully super fans.

Linebacker Emmanuel Acho is listed as questionable due to a groin injury, while safety Nate Allen (ankle), defensive end Brandon Bair (elbow), tight end Zach Ertz (oblique), wide receiver Jordan Matthews (knee), kicker Cody Parkey (right groin) and tackle Jason Peters (quadricep) are all listed as probable.
Quarterback Nick Foles (collarbone) has already been ruled out and will miss several weeks while recovering from his injury, but every other player on the team's injury report is probable to play Monday. That list includes wide receivers Brad Smith (groin) and Jeff Maehl (foot), offensive linemen Evan Mathis (knee) and Jason Kelce (hernia), linebacker Mychal Kendricks (calf) and defensive backs Nate Allen (hamstring) and Nolan Carroll (groin).
The healthy scratches are quarterback Matt Barkley, center Julian Vandervelde, tackle Dennis Kelly, linebacker Marcus Smith and defensive end Taylor Hart.
All the others on their injury report are probable. They are cornerback Brandon Boykin (hamstring), tight end Brent Celek (back), offensive linemen Todd Herremans (biceps) and Jason Kelce (hernia), linebackers Mychal Kendricks (calf) and DeMeco Ryans (groin), wide receiver Jeff Maehl (foot), running back Darren Sproles (knee) and cornerback Jaylen Watkins (wrist).
But Eagles defensive coordinator Bill Davis isn't buying it. He said he is "absolutely confident" in Allen and he doesn't shoulder all the blame for getting beat on one play.
"I watch every play Nate has. Nate had a very good game. He had one bad play," Davis said, per the Philadelphia Daily News. "[Allen] wasn't the only one. The pass rush wasn't what it was supposed to be, and the quarterback had the step-up lane. Cary (Williams) could have gotten higher quicker for the insurance, for if you [Allen] do take the wrong step -- he took one false step and got beat big."
Allen being under scrutiny isn't new, but he doesn't seem to be beating himself up too much over one bad play.
"Through the years, I've definitely matured as a player and just as a man. You go through things on this level. Sometimes your character's tested," Allen said. "Football is what I do, it's not who I am. At the end of the day, there's greater problems going on. So I'm not contemplating suicide or anything like that."
"I think Nate got beat once," Kelly said Monday, per CSNPhilly.com. "I think he made two outstanding plays. You look at the fumble and recovery [Allen caused in the third quarter], did a hell of a job there.
"Other than that, he bit the cheese and he admits it. I don't think he can be defined by one play. There were two 'X' plays in the game, one 80-yarder and one 75-yarder and besides that I thought our defense played outstanding all day long against a really, really good offense. I think Nate's played well this year and I'm real, real happy with Nate."
Wolff played in 11 games as a rookie, making 45 tackles and an interception.
Allen, 26, is coming off his best all-around season. He had 82 tackles, six passes defended, an interception, a forced fumble and a sack.
The Eagles play the Lions in Week 14.
Allen and his secondary mates will try to keep the score down when they play the winless New York Giants in Week 5.
"I think Earl is growing and were excited about his future, but we don't quite think he's fully ready to start," Kelly said.
"Advice: Make a play, somebody," the report said. "A big hit, an interception, anything. The first guy who looks like he can make an impact should start."

I had a new AC compressor put in my '06 Sorento after recharging the old one and it still didn't work. The new one doesn't work unless hooked directly to a power source, leading me to believe wiring is involved. What is the best way to find out which wire, if any, is the cause?

My wife is fighting a rear-guard action against middle age, and she has enlisted me in her army.
Up to now, we have lived our lives according to the dictates of our daughter's school calendar and the Leinster rugby team fixture list.
Now, however, we are governed by an email that drops into my wife's inbox every week from a website called lecool.com.
This contains details of gigs, exhibitions and happenings that appeal to the hipster generation, but we gatecrash some of them anyway.
My wife is especially attracted to any event with the phrase "pop-up" in its title – it appeals to the spontaneous, rebellious side of her nature. I go along to carry her bags.
For instance, last weekend, we were at two pop-up craft fairs, one in the offices of the Irish Architectural Archive on Merrion Square and the other in the Little Museum of Dublin on St Stephen's Green.
Pop-ups are supposed to be spur-of-the-moment events whose existence is communicated to the young and trendy via social networks.
They take place in unexpected venues, and only those with their finger on the pulse of unofficial, underground Dublin know about them.
Both our events were mobbed. The one in the architectural archive – a beautiful Georgian building, by the way – was especially crowded.
Every time I turned around, I seemed to knock over a thin person in skinny jeans and a bow tie.
At one point, while my wife was looking at wittily designed iPhone covers, I wondered about all this clutching after lost youth.
I decided I was not ready to go gently into the good night of Gant pullovers and pleated chinos.
I did not want ever to hear the word "slacks" mentioned in my presence. It says old age in the same way words such as "Complan" and "dentures" do.
And we've had some good experiences along the way, despite having to put up with stares from young people that seemed to say: "Who let the grown-ups in?"
Once a week, in a loft apartment downtown, chef Craig Thornton cooks nine to 12 elaborate courses for 16 people in an open kitchen a few feet from the table.
When he announces a dinner, hundreds respond. He chooses 16 people with an eye towards occupational balance – not too many lawyers or accountants or movie people.
You pay what you think it's all been worth at the end. Most put about $90 (€70) into the pot, which is enough for Thornton to break even.

Proper running shoes are designed to serve two purposes; one is to absorb the impact on your joints to protect you from injury; the other is to provide greater grip, which will maximise your speed. This can be a bit of a paradox, as generally, a running shoe that is designed to give maximum protection is not optimised for speed, and a shoe design to provide optimum speed is not optimised for preventing injury.
It is widely accepted that running provides one of the highest calorie burns per minute , which makes it an ideal ally for any weight loss goals you may have. However, for people attempting to incorporate regular running into their lifestyle, they can lose interest quite quickly. This is primarily because they don't feel comfortable doing it, which is because most new runners just throw on a pair of plimsolls and a hoody and hope for the best. However, in order to get the most from your running exploits, you need to invest in a pair of running shoes that provide the right amount of support for your joints.
In my opinion, anybody that is first taking up running should err on the side of caution and opt for support and comfort when you buy a new pair of running shoes.
As a general rule, running shoes can be divided into three distinct categories:
The main characteristics of a general purpose running shoe are a hard-wearing shallow tread, and lots of cushioning and support to absorb the impact of landing on the ground (equivalent to roughly three-times your body weight). This type of footwear will also be ideal for any other sports, including squash, tennis and circuit training. You can view a range of general purpose running shoes online at sites like Millet sports .
The key difference between trail running shoes and general purpose running shoes is that trail shoes feature a deeper tread, which offers better traction on soft, uneven, and slippery surfaces. Trail running shoes generally have a more durable lining than general purpose running shoes, which is to make them more robust against the type of terrain they tend to be used on.
These running shoes get their name from having a much lower heel, which consequently renders them much lighter and more efficient than other shoes. However, as a result, they do not provide as much support and cushioning as general purpose running shoes; they should therefore not be used for general training. Racing flats are designed so that they are raised at the front, which encourages you to run on your toes and therefore faster

Selena Gomez Suffers Nip Slip in Own Instagram Picture: Media Reports Allegedly Call it Intentional

By nidhi tewari | July 11, 2014 5:06 PM EST
After reports that Selena Gomez has allegedly gone for breast enhancement surgery and showed off her new assets in a clinging braless sheer top, the Texan beauty has now suffered a nip slip. Selena posted a picture of herself enjoying a night out with her friends where she is so busy posing for the perfect shot that she is completely unaware of the wardrobe malfunction happening to her.

Selena Gomez Reportedly Urged Back into Rehab, Singer Stressed Over Justin Bieber and Demi Lovato - Reports
The singer's black cleavage-revealing lace top gets pulled down a bit as she stretches her body and as a result one of her nipples is exposed to quite an extent. Check out the picture here. Selenators were quick to realize Selena's accidental nip slip and have immensely liked and commented heavily on her black and white picture.
However, many online publications are surprised at the fact that the "Come and Get It" singer has posted her nip slip picture on her own Instagram profile. Selena's daring act has led to speculations that she posted the picture without her knowledge or did it to grab media attention.
"Maybe she didn't notice? That or she really doesn't mind at all," asks Mirror.
"And we guess she didn't notice that it seems one of her girls had gotten loose!" writes Perez Hilton.
While Selena Gomez has been busy partying with her friends and pouting in most of her Instagram pictures, Justin Bieber is happily enjoying his time with new pal Yovanna Ventura. The 18-year-old model and fitness trainer calls Bieber the "sweetest guy ever" in her Instagram pictures. The two are seen posing together in several of her selfies.
Apart from Yovanna, Justin was also seen having a good time with another friend Chantel Jeffries. Chantel is the same girl who was with Justin when he got arrested for DUI and alleged drag racing in Miami, earlier this year.
However, Justin's slew of new girlfriends seems to have no negative effect on Selena Gomez who has been enjoying her own time with friends. The singer has however posted several cryptic messages on her Instagram account. "The moment you compare yourself [to other woman], it weakens you, and I am not here for that. Once you know the reality [and] claim your space, your life becomes easier," read one of the messages.

Lifesaver Gummies
Lifesavers are known for being highly-flavored hard candies. If there were a candy model that Jelly Belly might have gone off of, it was probably Lifesavers - here is a hard candy, a little smaller than usual, but super-flavored and in a huge variety. Lifesavers got into the gummi game a while ago and I tried them when they first came out, but didn't think much of them. I decided to revisit them, especially since they changed the flavors out on the five flavor tray.
The 5 Flavor variety bears little resemblance to the hard candy rolls that have been around since 1934. The flavors in this roll are Cherry (an original flavor), Watermelon, Green Apple, Blackberry and Strawberry. No orange, no lemon, no pineapple. Drat! The candies are much larger than the hard version, they're soft, if a little greasy on the outside to prevent sticking and are positioned upright on a clear plastic tray inside the wrapper.
The Cherry is just as you'd expect it, great woodsy cherry flavor with a good tart bite. I'm not fond of cherry flavored stuff, but I actually find Lifesavers rather acceptable, probably because the flavor doesn't seem as artificial as many others. The Green Apple, the lighter of the two green flavors, is rather mild, not too sour but good overall flavor. Watermelon is a darker green and bears little resemblance to real watermelon flavor but has a nice tart bite to it without that overwhelming fragrance that many watermelon candies have. Strawberry was a bit disappointing. It was sweet and had only the slightest hint of a berry flavor to it. I'd tell you about the Blackberry, but this roll had none. I think they're dark purple. I'll hazard that it's the same blackberry flavor in the Wild Berries below.
The Wild Berry mix held more promising flavor for my tastes: Cherry Berry, Strawberry, Red Raspberry, Black Raspberry, Blackberry and White Grape.
The colors are a little bland, but I guess when you're making a dozen different flavors you're going to run out of primary and secondary colors. The White Grape was my favorite. Soft and delicate, it's just a bit tart and has none of that artificial grape note that I only seem to like in Tootsie Pops and SweeTarts. The Cherry Berry was remarkably similar to the Cherry in the 5 Flavor, but I'm not complaining. The Blackberry is the only one that seemed opaque, a lustrous dark purple it was tart and fragrant but hardly had a flavor different from the other berries. The Strawberry was the same as above. The rather lavender looking one was, I think, Black Raspberry. It was sweet and tart like the others and much more perfumed, as raspberries tend to be. The lightest red one was probably Red Raspberry and was similar to the Black Raspberry one, but perhaps a little tarter.
The good thing about this mix is that the flavors all blend together well, you can eat them one after another without the flavors fighting or combine them if you're so inclined.
I like to eat gummies when my throat is bothering me, and I'm just getting over a cold (so if my tasting is a little off, it's some sort of leftover malaise). They're soothing and not too sour, so I don't have to worry about burning my tongue like I often do on my overdoses of SweeTarts. I bought these in a Christmas Storybook on an after-holiday clearance for 98 cents ... so I certainly got my money's worth for five packages of these.
While these flavors all have merit, I'd really like to have my favorite Lifesavers flavors - Lemon, Orange, Tangerine, Banana, Pina Colada and Pineapple. Actually, I'd be game if they wanted to try a Butter Rum gummi, too!

Sahagun Chocolates
A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to participate in the tasteEverything Independent Food Awards, I was thrilled to see the other awards given. But the first one that I made an effort to get a hold of was the Sahagun Salted Caramels. Since I'm not going to get to Portland anytime soon, my husband mentioned it to friends there and they went right out and
bought me some (and some for themselves)!
I'm not quite sure what they all are, but I had to start with the caramels, which I knew were the tall ones with the nuts on top because the one in the back was actually broken in shipping. These are fantastic! The chocolate is smooth and mellow and the caramel filling is unlike most other caramels I've ever had. It was dark and complex, with quite a bit of salt in it and a gooey but not flowing texture. I hesitate to say that it was jelly-like or custard-like, but it definitely wasn't quite caramel. The crunch of the hazelnut on top brings all the textures together.
The real find is that amorphous blob there on the right. I had no idea what it was going to be. It was a dark chocolate shell with a white chocolate coconut center. It's hard to describe. Instead of the drab sweet center of a Mounds bar, this is a delicate and mild buttery base filled with soft and chewy coconut. I have never experienced coconut like this before.
The coffee truffle (not pictured) was shaped like a big button and dusted with cocoa and very smooth and soft a very strong coffee flavor. It wasn't sweet at all, just like a cup of coffee without sugar would be. It was quite a refreshing change from many of the "too sweet" Easter candies I've been gorging on.
The other sphere there on the left, that's dusted with a luster powder, is a plain chocolate truffle. Like the coffee one, it wasn't sugary at all, except this one has a chocolate shell, which adds a touch of sweetness. The center is buttery and dense and quite satisfying.
The little medallions of chocolate we also dusted with that luster powder. I find it a little unappealing, like someone spilled their eyeshadow on my candy. But it doesn't taste like anything that I can tell. (I know these edible lusters are quite trendy now, but it you haven't already guess, I'm not really the trendy sort.) The coins were simply dark chocolate and it gave me an opportunity to experience the chocolate used in all of these creations on its own. It's mellow and only slightly sweet with a dry, bitter bite towards the end, as plain eating chocolate is quite nice, but it really shines when used in combination with the other ingredients here.
The last item I didn't even take a photo of, it was a what I thought was a nut bark. Oh, I should have known that it wasn't going to be run of the mill. I have no idea what it's called, but it's dark chocolate with spicy corn nuts. The salty, extra crunchy and slight burn of the corn nuts went really well with the chocolate. It hardly felt like a sweet at all, but was entirely satisfying and possibly addictive. Of course it's probably a good thing
From everything I've heard the best part about Sahagun is visiting the shop, so if you're in Portland, OR, make a point of it. They're at 10 N.W. 16th Ave. You can read more in this interview at Portland Food and Drink.

Nestle Crunch Dark Stixx
A few weeks ago I posted about the darn tasty Milky Way Crispy Rolls from Germany. And of course they're not available here, but luckily reader TheMatt pointed me to these:
I didn't see them in milk chocolate, though I doubt that's the version I would have picked up anyway. They were hidden away in the grocery candy aisle all the way down near the mixed nuts. The package hails that each stick has less than 100 calories (90 each, actually) but the small print underneath that says "not a low calorie food." Yeah, each stick is also less than two thirds of an ounce. I find an ounce or an ounce and a quarter makes a good portion for me when I'm looking for a little sweet. So I'd be eating two of these. Still, at 180 calories that'd be a nice respite and still not the full 300 I budget for a day's sweets.
Anyway, I digress from the real topic, which is these little crispy sticks. What we have here is a little tube of crispy, bland cookie - think ice cream cone - filled with a firm chocolate cream. The whole thing smells very sweet and a little like cereal. The chocolate isn't spectacular. It's sweet but smooth. The real fun is the flaky tube of cookie which is mostly texture and provides a nice crisp and of course acts as a container for the chocolate cream. The center cream is nice, it's sweet and smooth and a little buttery.
On the whole, this isn't the same as the Milky Way Crispy Rolls, but they're certainly nice. If I were to have any chocolate cookie snack I wanted without regard to trans fats, it'd be the Lu Chocolatiers, but these are far superior in their portability. They're pretty expensive as non-gourmet candy goes, so keep your eye out for sales if you fall in love with them.

Chocolate Covered Sugar Babies
A long time ago, when I was a little kid, my sister and I would be given two dimes each and were allowed to walk down to the corner store with other children in the neighborhood. (This was back when candy bars were only
15 cents each.) But even at the tender age of four or five I realized that there were better values out there in the candy world than the standard candy bar. One of those things was penny & nickel candy. These were either junior versions of regular sized candies or special small morsels, like lollipops, Bit-o-Honey, Jawbreakers, Mary Janes and Tootsie Rolls.
I was especially fond of a candy called Sugar Mama. It was part of the Sugar family which was headed by the excellent Sugar Daddy and included the wee Sugar Babies. The Sugar Mama was a chocolate covered Sugar Daddy. I often got Sugar Mamas because they were the best of both worlds - the intense caramel flavor plus the chocolatey coating that made it feel more like a candy bar. Sugar Mamas, like Sugar Daddys, were pretty big and because they were softer than a regular hard candy lollipop, they were more interactive. This starts with an impression of the roof of my mouth, then slowly shaving off the chocolate with my teeth and then twirling and pulling the naked, softened caramel into shapes. It was a pretty good way to spend a nickel.
Of course they don't make Sugar Mamas anymore and Nabisco sold the Sugar family to Tootsie back in the mid-nineties. Sugar Babies, though, continue to be produced and are actually easier to find than Sugar Daddies (there were also Sugar Daddy Nuggets at one time which were divine in their own right). They're fine little caramel bits unlike anything else on the market because they're panned - I'm guessing with a layer of sugar or caramel or something to make a smooth shell that turns grainy when you chew it.
I haven't had a Sugar Daddy in years, and I guess part of it is a fear of losing dental work. I've never actually hurt my teeth that way (though I once lost a filling eating scrambled eggs), but it's a huge fear and I figure better safe than sorry.
My favorite way to eat regular Sugar Babies is to soften them up by putting the package into my pocket or just holding a few of them in the palm of my hand for a while. This is especially important when I get the really stale ones.
Now, on to the product at hand ... it seems that Tootsie is getting into the limited edition racket and has introduced Chocolate Covered Sugar Babies. Now some of you might think that this is the same thing as Milk Duds. First, chocolate coating aside, a Milk Dud doesn't quite have that caramelized sugar taste to them (they're more milky) and they don't quite have the same graininess towards the end of the chew. The thing that surprised me most about these was that they're actually fully formed Sugar Babies under the chocolate ... I thought maybe the Sugar Baby wouldn't have the candy shell on it on the inside. This makes the little candy a bit hard and the option of warming them first is kind of gone because of the mess that ensues by holding a piece of chocolate in the palm of your hand for a few minutes.
The chocolate coating is pretty good, much better, in my opinion than a Milk Dud and they're certainly pretty looking when I dumped them out of the box. There's a slight cinnamon hint to the whole candy and they combine well once it all warms up. However, I still prefer the plain old Sugar Babies. It was a good effort and I'm glad they tried it, but I don't need them to add this to the line permanently but if I were going to the movies, this would be a good option (I bet they taste great with popcorn).
Thanks to Joanna at SugarSavvy for pointing out their existence!

KitKat Milkshake
I've been so caught up with Easter candy lately that I've been neglecting my regular candy. I couldn't wait until the Easter rush is over to post about the Limited Edition KitKat Milkshake.
I've been looking everywhere for these and was surprised that they weren't available at my trusty 7-11 that always seems to have new and limited edition products. Instead I found them at the Dollar Tree, which always makes me nervous that it's old and skanky candy. How could it be old though, it's limited edition!
The bar is described as: KitKat Milkshake - Crisp Wafers in Extra Creamy Malt Milk Chocolate (naturally and artificially flavored)
The bar was pretty looking, smooth and glossy, it was definitely fresh. But there was something off about it. It smelled a little musty, like an old, damp closet or something. I had a piece of it and decided it tasted musty too. I threw the rest out and started over with a second bar. This one doesn't smell as musty, but still has a definitely "off" smell to it. I know that malt can sometimes be considered a gamy scent, but this just wasn't it.
I decided that this was how it was gonna be and I plowed through to the tasting. First I needed to get past what I wanted the bar to be. I wanted it to be a malted KitKat ... I wanted creamy milk chocolate with malt between the wafers. But that's not what it is, it's malt flavor in the chocolate and I think the regular old wafers & cream we're used to. What it does taste like is a milkier version of a KitKat ... with a slight buttery taste, kind of like popcorn and kind of like coconut. These aren't pleasant combinations in my realm of chocolate candy bars, so I wasn't really enjoying it. In fact, as I got to the last finger, I was really sick of it and didn't want to finish it.
I wonder if I just got a bad batch: News You Can Eat liked hers and CandyAddict found it acceptable. Suffice to say I was severely disappointed, especially since I loved the Limited Edition Twosomes Whoppers last year.

Dove Truffle and Snickers Eggs
I tried to stop buying and posting about Easter candy, but there's just too much out there. So you can expect more Easter sweets for the next month or so. I picked up two more eggs, both made by Mars but vastly different. The Snickers Egg and the Dove Milk Chocolate Truffle Egg (I looked for a dark chocolate version but didn't see them).
The Snickers Egg is exactly what you'd think it would be. It's the familiar Snickers bar, which is a peanut nougat topped with caramel and peanuts and covered in chocolate. They come in a variety of colors of foil wrapping, each with a different sunglass-wearing rabbit on the front. The only real difference between this and a regular Snickers bar, besides the shape is that this is molded chocolate, not enrobed. I know it's a tiny difference, but in general I prefer enrobing to molding for filled chocolates.
I happen to like Snickers quite a bit, though I don't buy them very often. This little egg was exceptionally fresh, the peanuts were crunchy, the caramel salty and the chocolate very sweet. Everything was very soft, for some reason I'm used to my Snickers being a little more firm. I suppose the best suggestion for these would be to stick them in the freezer.
Dove Eggs and Snickers eggs happen to be made by the same company, Mars. Oddly enough, they also have the same design on their chocolate shells. They're not exactly the same size, the Snickers is more like a half an egg, the Dove is less than that.
The Dove Milk Chocolate Truffle Egg is quite a little indulgence. The dark purple foil gives it a rich appearance that the contents fully deliver on. It's milk chocolate, through and through. The milk chocolate shell is smooth and creamy and very sweet and the filling is buttery and dense. Milk chocolate truffles just aren't my thing, but if you dig Dove milk chocolate truffles, definitely pick a few of these up, they're really indulgent. I'm going to keep my eye out for dark versions. According to the ingredients label the filling is just milk chocolate and coconut oil.

In case you didn't notice, All Easter Week kind of overlapped and is now two weeks. (I don't hear any complaints!) Of course any discussion of Easter candy would be incomplete without Peeps which is why I saved them for last.
The thing is, there are lots of people who talk about Peeps and chances are you either love them or hate them already. Here's what I think about Peeps: I think Peeps are pretty cute. The colors are great and the idea of a crusty crusted soft marshmallow is a good one. I think the name Peeps is pure genius. And the idea of a little yellow marshmallow candy shaped like a baby chicken is pretty good too. The manufacturing variations of them allows them to have their own personality. (According to the Peeps factory tour on their website their eyes are added by hand. It gives them a rather personal touch.)
But see, I don't really like the taste of them that much. They're sweet and all, and that's good. And I know yesterday I said I liked plain old rock candy, so it seems odd that I wouldn't like fluffy sugar.
If I do like Peeps, it's when they're stale. At least they have a little texture then. They're tacky and lose their springiness and suddenly have a little tooth to them (well, Peeps can't have teeth). Anyway, a slightly stale Peep is chewy and kind of a nice change of pace. A very stale Peep is almost like cookie. I've tried toasting them, but it's tricky, because they catch fire quite easily. I guess the best thing to do with them is to do a mashup where you pull one apart and mash it into something else like crushed Oreos or chocolate chips.
There are several iterations of Peeps. There are different colors of the little chicks and little bunny shapes (which I don't like as much for no good reasons I can verbalize). You can get white egg shaped ones for decorating and of course they're not just for Easter anymore with other shapes/colors/flavors for all the major Candy Holidays.
Of course the thing I most like to do with Peeps is take photos of them (stay tuned for more of those, my new camera arrives today). There's a whole Flickr group devoted to them, called Peep-Tastic. Then there's Peeps Research, more Peep Research, a PeepShow, and of course the official site. For more literary expressions in Peeps, check out Lord of the Peeps, Peeps Haiku and then the definitive resource, the Wikipedia entry. Click here for some worksafe PeepPr0n and finally, for the last word on Peeps, check out this article from Salon's archives.
I took my photos about two weeks ago and the Peeps have been in an open plastic baggie every since, I think they're ready to eat.
So, do you love em' or hate em' and how do you eat 'em?

Lake Champlain Hazelnut Eggs
I would be remiss in reviewing Easter candies not to include something a little more upscale. Besides the usual drug-store fare such as Russell Stovers, I found quite a few candies at Whole Foods. I got a wonderful birthday basket of Lake Champlain a couple of months ago and have been nibbling away on it, so I thought I'd check out their seasonal items.
These little impluse buys were in a bucket by the checkout stand. At $.79 each, I was willing to give them a try (I didn't even know what they were except that they were blue and from Lake Champlain). When I got home and bit into one (I know, brave!) I was pleasantly surprised to find a hazelnut praline. The eggs are actually "half-eggs" and about the size of an egg-shaped walnut and probably weigh a little less than a half an ounce.
In fact, if you were wondering where to get those Caffarel Guanduia chocolates in the States, look no further than these for your domestic equivalent.
The outside is rich milky chocolate and the filling is a soft hazelnut and chocolate mixture. It's thick and clingy, nutty and buttery. Yum. I can't eat a lot of these at once (I only bought two, so I'm safe). They're very rich tasting and utterly filling. One with a cup of coffee is quite a treat.
The Lake Champlain Easter eggs come in a variety of flavors (caramel, raspberry & coconut) that you can order from their website and I'm sure some Whole Foods carry them as well.
There's no way I can possibly keep up with all the Easter candies, but Joanna over at Sugar Savvy has created a roundup of a lot of dark chocolate Easter eggs.

Students can aid understanding by thinking about what they read and understood from prior readings and then previewing the pages to be read. Previewing involves looking at the headings and pictures to make a prediction, or educated guess as to what the text will be about.
Students who follow this process will take out greater and deeper meaning from their reading.
New Regular School Hours - 8:15 to 2:35
This school year, the regular school hours will be 8:15 a.m, until 2:35 pm , Monday through Fridays. This does not include any after school sessions that certain students may be chosen to attend. If your child is chosen, you will be notified in writing. It is critically important that your child be on time every day as lessons will start promptly at 8:15.
Tuesday Afternoon Parent Conferences
This year on most Tuesday afternoons from 2:35 until 3:15, I will be available to have conferences with parents either in person or by phone.
Homework serves an important role for 4th grade students. Studies and my experience show that 4th grade students should do about an hour of homework a night. This amount can vary depending on a child's abilities. Homework helps to reinforce the lesson, gives a child practice, and the teacher feedback about the child's understanding of a topic.
It is important that parents and guardians make their children accountable for giving their best effort on homework by taking an active interest in it. This goes beyond merely asking if homework has been completed. Rather asking the child to describe what they did and how they did it.
Homework will always be posted on this website, so parents and guardians may stay aware of assignments.

building digital worlds to inspire this one
There once was a girl named Roro Roropupuma the Unruly. She stood by the Troubled Forest and mused to herself about the coming journey. She met the evil lord Zizipuzi Jigapujisa the Smooth.
Eric and I are doing a little 3 paragraph story generator for the ProcJam. So far so good, the above is the randomly generated text we've made after about 3 hours work. We're learning about the Mozilla Thimble tool – a free collaborative HTML editor for our text-based story. Thus far it's a slicker, though somewhat buggier, collaborative editor in the style of ShiftEdit or CodeTogether. If you're coding in HTML5 it's not bad, but we ran into a few frustrating instances where we desynced.
The code is still rudimentary but we're beginning to develop a structure. Take a look, if you like.
Hey folks! Derek here.
It's been a while since our last update. Eric and I have been hit by the real world quite a bit in recent months. I've gotten engaged to a lovely lady and my next project at work – technology conferences in Iraq – has taken off. Eric, too, has decided to tie the knot, and moreover has become a developer and producer at the entertainment games studio inXile! But throughout all these events we've still made an effort to keep our hands in the indie game, so to speak.
Eric is in the process of launching a company Humighty – a company whose goal is making play productive. I'll leave him to explain where the project is going, but you'll want to get in on the ground level for the things he's planning. He's been working on a few prototypes, like a game called Tipsy, designed to help bartenders remember drink recipes, and The Daily Deck, which is a card-a-day self improvement game – all really cool stuff!
I've been working on a game, too, called the Captain's Log, in which you play a Starship Captain who is lost in space. It started out as a small project and – like everything – has ballooned into a really big task, but I've worked to fight the feature creep and I think I'm almost done. It's a big goal of mine to actually produce a game, because the last one we published was Shaped – that was 3 years ago now.
And today, dear reader, we're putting both our side projects aside and participating in Proc Jam – a big online jam in which users are encouraged to learn and create a game about procedurally generated content. Tune in for our submission – we'll probably end up posting it here.
Anyway – Eric and I are still alive, and still doing things. If people are interested I'll share the Captain's Log dev videos here.
Haul your objects. Haul your friends.
This week we got networking working in Drift. And to prove it to you, we're going to show the update from both of our perspectives.
Derek's view:
Eric's view:
BAM. Drift is online – players can now suffocate and die TOGETHER! On a NETWORK
Now you can fill up your fuel by tapping into the fuel lines from wrecks.

The 27-year-old international has agreed a six-year contract to become the first player to join Real since Florentino Perez returned to the presidency this month.
Reports said the transfer fee was around $94.05 million which would make the transfer the second biggest ever after Zinedine Zidane joined Real from Juventus for around $100 million in 2001.
The player is on international duty with Brazil in his home country, but Real Madrid sent officials to Recife and Kaka successfully completed a medical earlier in the day.
Reports have said the 2007 world player of the year is set to hold a news conference in the next few hours.
The official unveiling in Madrid is likely to take place at the end of the month, after the Confederations Cup in South Africa.
"We are working on building a good team, an important team, and this has only just begun," Perez told radio station Onda Cero.
Supporters, who protested a proposed move to Manchester City are unlikely to be happy [GALLO/GETTY]
Milan grateful
Milan thanked Kaka for his contribution.
"AC Milan thanks the man Kaka and the champion Kaka for his decisive contributions to so many victories obtained in the last six years," the Serie A club said in a statement.
"His loss on the field, though serious, can be filled. It will, however, be very difficult to fill the void left by Kaka the man."
Kaka has long been a target for Real Madrid since former president Ramon Calderon promised to sign him in his election campaign in 2006 but failed to deliver.
Calderon resigned in January paving the way for Perez to come back three years after he stood down and he was returned unopposed to the post.
New Galactico era
Perez has promised to deliver a "spectacular sporting project" built around the world's greatest players, and local media have spoken of a 300 million euro war chest which will be used to finance a second 'Galactico era' at the Bernabeu.
Having lured the likes of Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham to Real earlier in the decade, Perez's flagship first signing on his return was Kaka.
It was a declaration of intent and a dig at his predecessor.
He has also spoken of interest in Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery, Liverpool's Xabi Alonso and Valencia duo David Villa and David Silva.
New coach Manuel Pellegrini is the man tasked with blending these talents into a team capable of challenging treble-winners Barcelona.
Kaka will not face much competition in midfield which was one of Real's weakest areas last season as they lacked flair players capable of opening up sides in big games.
Kaka's arrival will also cheer up Real fans clamouring for a more entertaining brand of football, and who had often chanted "Where is Kaka?" at player presentations under Calderon over the last couple of years.

U.S. may cut oil demand view, stoking OPEC argument
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - High fuel prices and weak U.S. economic numbers could prompt the U.S. government's energy forecasting agency to cut its global oil demand estimate for the second month running, a move that may stoke already contentious debate within OPEC over raising oil output.
While the U.S. Energy Information Administration's monthly energy outlook on Tuesday is unlikely to sway the outcome of Wednesday's OPEC meeting, it will be the most up-to-date set of supply and demand data that ministers will consider.
"I would look for another small to moderate trimming in global oil demand expectations in the neighborhood of 100,000 barrels per day," Guy Caruso, former head of the EIA and current energy analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said about the EIA's forecast.
That may be a double-edged sword.
For OPEC hawks who oppose an output rise, reduced demand could be reason to hold back; for Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies pushing for an output rise, signs of a faltering economic recovery are a key reason for pumping up output.
In last month's forecast, the EIA reduced its estimate for global oil demand growth this year by 120,000 barrels per day to 1.4 million bpd, the biggest cut in 10 months. But OPEC made no change, leaving its forecast in sync with the EIA; the International Energy Agency pared slightly to 1.3 million bpd.
OPEC's new monthly forecast will be issued this Friday, followed by the IEA's outlook June 16.
While oil demand is seen strong in India and China, recent bad U.S. economic news suggests the American economy could be slowing. The U.S. created only 54,000 jobs in May, about one-third of what had been expected, and consumer spending and manufacturing figures have disappointed.
"Demand over the last month has been weaker than expected in the U.S.," said Tim Evans, energy analyst for Citi Futures Perspective in New York. pointing to U.S. fuel use that fell 5 percent in May from the year before. "It seems to me there is a lot of room for a downward revision."
Phil Flynn, energy analyst at PFGBest Research in Chicago, agreed, saying the economy had hit a "soft patch".
Worried that crude prices near $115 a barrel are undermining economic growth, Gulf producers including Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates favor an increase in output when the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries meets.
Other more hawkish OPEC members like Venezuela and Iran are against boosting output.
"Various key members of the cartel...believe the market is well supplied, and this release from the EIA is only going to add credence to their case," said Matt Smith, commodity analyst at Summit Energy Services in Louisville, Kentucky.
However, the United States and other western industrialized countries that are members of the IEA have urged OPEC to pump more oil because of expected higher demand later this year.
Evans said he didn't think the EIA forecast would influence OPEC's decision-making on output levels. "I think what OPEC is going to be looking at is the demand they see in the market in terms of direct customer demand for their oil," he said.

Methane hydrates are ice-like inclusion compounds, in which every volume of hydrate can contain as much as 180 volumes (STP) of gas.The amount of methane in natural gas hydrates is twice the total recoverable fossil fuel reserve. Because of their natural abundance in oceans and permafrost, hydrates have become an exciting national and international research issue. The movement of the gas and oil industry to ever deepening waters where hydrates occur, the compelling size and distribution of hydrate deposits, and strong international interest all support identification of crucial elements in a hydrate research program.
