Russell Stover Cake Assortment ChocolatesAs a little stocking stuffer item, I've noticed these boxes of Russell Stover Cake Truffles at drug store chains and places like Target this year. I picked up a pair of boxes since they were only $1.00 on sale, though often the regular price is about $1.79 for 2 ounces. There are four pieces of candy in the box, one of each of the cake flavors: Red Velvet, Chocolate, Carrot and Wedding Cake. All of these flavors have been presented in the seasonal shapes, so they're not new candies, just a different assorted presentation. The ratios do differ slightly from the Egg or Santa versions, though. Red Velvet - (Dark Chocolate) this first debuted as a Santa piece in 2012, though is also available at Easter and Valentine's. It's a dark chocolate shell with a red "creamy" center that has some cake mix in it. Oddly, this could benefit from a white chocolate coating to simulate the cream cheese frosting often found on Red Velvet cake, though this box already has two white coated pieces. The center is less sweet, so that's a plus, but the batter-like consistency simply tastes like paste to me. (Santa review.) Carrot Cake - (White Chocolate) this first debuted as an Easter piece in 2014. Like the other cake flavors, this features actual cake mix in the center, which gives it an uncooked flour note ... it's a little pasty, unlike the experience I had with the Egg version which wasn't as dense. The flavor profile is actually nice, a good spice mix that fits well with Christmas with a hint of allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon. (Egg review.) Wedding Cake - (White Chocolate) - this first debuted as an Easter piece in 2014. If you don't like spice flavors found in Carrot Cake, then maybe Wedding Cake is more your speed ... all fake vanilla, sweetness and PlayDoh. I thought (Egg review.) Chocolate Cake (Milk Chocolate - might actually be new. I can only find records for Brownie pieces before this. The center here was less sticky and pasty, so that was a plus but the raw flour notes were very distracting as it tasted more like wallpaper paste (yes, I've eaten that before, thankyouverymuch). There's a grainy note, as well, since the sugar isn't completely combined. So, think of it more like a chocolate cookie dough and you might be pleased. If you're frustrated that the seasonal shape items are too big, then these are probably a good idea for you. I'll stick to the more traditional coconut and pecan delight versions though.

Hershey's Candy Corn Creme with Candy BitsHershey's has a lot of returning holiday favorites for Halloween, but hasn't neglected to introduce a few new items. Hershey's Candy Corn Creme with Candy Bits was one of the odd items that really has no name (I think the best adaptation of an existing name to Halloween would be the Cadbury S'creme Egg). A few years back Hershey's had a seasonal variety of Kisses called Candy Corn Kisses. It made perfect sense, Kisses are kind of triangular and the layered look was a nice adaptation of the idea. The white confectionery base was simple enough, just a sort of honey/strawberry flavored version. In the Hershey's brand scheme, though, the Cookies n Creme bar has already captured the white confection lovers, so they're more likely to spark to the new Hershey's Candy Corn Creme with Candy Bits. The bar is simply a white chocolate style confection (Hershey's uses a combination of cocoa butter and other oils instead of just cocoa butter which it would need to be a true white chocolate). Scattered within the bar are orange and yellow candy sprinkles. The effect is that it does have a similar coloring to candy corn, though the yellow-white of the creme is dominant instead of the yellow-orange of Candy Corn. If you've always wanted Candy Corn to have fat in it, that would be why you'd want to buy this. The snack size bars are simple, they're long and have four little segments with the name Hershey's inside each. The bars smell sweet and milky, with a hint of strawberry. It reminds me of a glass of Strawberry Qwik in smell only (certainly not in color). The melt is decent, not creamy smooth, but a little waxy. It's quite sugary and extremely sweet, though the flavor and a hint of salt moderates that slightly. The sprinkles are annoying. They're waxy and add no actual flavor or real textural interest. I would have preferred either nonpareils or perhaps if they swirled different colors of confection into it instead. I think the Kiss version was more successful visually, but I didn't care for the butter flavoring. This one is definitely less intense, but neither is great to eat. If Hershey's wants to capitalize on their Cookies n Creme bar, I think making a seasonal version with a cookie in it, a la Golden Oreos might actually be more tasty. There are all sorts of ingredients in here, including partially hydrogenated oils, PGPR, resinous glaze (on the jimmies), tocopherols and artificial colors. The candy contains milk products and soy and is made on shared equipment with almonds. There is no statement about gluten or peanuts. Related Candies

Valrhona Blond DulceyOne of the most popular luxury chocolate brands is Valrhona, which is made in France. Though you may not know the name or the label, chances are you've had their chocolate because they're used so widely in the pastry and confectionery trade. Though I rarely buy their bars, I am fond of their feves, which are little oblong chocolate disks which are great for baking or simply eating. Since it's Easter, I thought I'd review one of the iconic confections of the season: White Chocolate. Valrhona introduced a new white chocolate bar last year called Valrhona Blond Dulcey 32%. It's like a dark white chocolate, if such a thing could exist. It's 32% cocoa butter, which is more cocoa butter than some chocolates have for all of their combined cacao content. The next ingredient by percentage (32%) is then whole milk (in the form of whole milk powder, skim milk powder, butter and whey), then there's sugar and some vanilla, soy lecithin and salt. If you think that sounds rich, it is. That's 50% of your saturated fat in half a bar. When I calculated the calories per ounce, it came out to 195 (that can't possibly be right). But it's also 3 grams of protein and a full 15% of your daily RDA of calcium. The bar is thick, which is nice considering that it's only 2.46 ounces, smaller than the usual 3.5 or 3 ounce tablet that I've become accustomed to as a premium bar. The diagonals score the bar well enough that it can easily be broken into these irregular but perfect bite-sized pieces. The color is just what you see here, a butterscotch color instead of the creamy yellow-white or most cocoa butter confections. The literature about the Blond Dulcey makes note of the biscuit flavors along with a touch of apricot. They're not wrong, it does have a rich cereal note to it, along with some toffee and maybe a light hint of lemon. The bar has a good melt, though I admit that it's a little fudgy at the start. I'd say that's more from the milk solids than any sugar-grain. It's lightly salty at first, there's over 100 mg of salt. It is like a digestive biscuit flavor, just lightly toasted, sweet but not so much that it hurt my throat. There was no slick or greasy coating in my mouth afterwards as many white confections made with tropical oils can leave.The vanilla note is overpowered by the sort of toffee and burnt sugar flavors, though I would have enjoyed some bourbon or tobacco in there. I found my bar when I was in London, though they do sell them in the United States. It was about $8, which it's pretty steep for a smallish bar like this. I'll probably stick with the Green & Blacks or the Ritter Sport if I can find it. This may be one of those white chocolate bars that converts people who don't like white chocolate. Or just something for those who do like white chocolate to munch on. It's a lot more satisfying than many other white bars that I eat, I didn't feel the need to eat the whole thing. That may be a function of the high protein content as well. Related Candies

Nestle Mini Smarties Chick & Milkybar RabbitNestle Mini Smarties Filled Chick are little hollow chocolates wrapped in yellow foil. Inside is a small handful of mini Nestle Smarties. I kind of made up the name of the candy, the name on the sticker on the base of the foil is Hollow milk chocolate figure containing mini Smarties. Seems like they could have named them something like Nestle Nestling. The idea of a hollow chocolate figure filled with other treats is nothing new, but is a fantastic idea that's utilized much better in Europe since these overprotective Americans think that we'll all choke on the fillings. Nestle has many different sizes they do for Easter, as well, including a foil wrapped hen filled with Smarties as well, and often sold in a box that looks like a chicken coop with a bunch of the little chicks. There were a lot of displays of these in grocery stores and drug stores while I was in London, so it was easy to pick up both. Most were priced at about two for one pound, which I thought was a bit steep for 30 grams (about 1.06 ounces) when you factor in that it's Nestle chocolate. Unwrapped the little chick is just as cute. It's very well molded. The best thing about the candy is really the sound. Just shake the figure and it's like a rattle. The milk chocolate isn't stellar, as it is Nestle; the ingredients are subpar. It wouldn't qualify as real milk chocolate in the United States, as they use milk whey as a filler. However it's 25% cacao content and they do use sunflower lecithin instead of soy, so if your kid has a soy sensitivity, you might want to seek the UK Nestle confections. The Smarties also use all natural colors for the shells and rice starch. Still, the label states that it may contain traces of soy, gluten, peanuts and other tree nuts. For those of you not familiar with them, Nestle Smarties are little chocolate lentils. Unlike many of Nestle's global brands, they're not sold in the United States very often, as they have the same name as a pre-existing candy. Instead of renaming them, Nestle just doesn't compete with M&Ms in the United States. (They do in Canada, though.) The little chick is rather thin. The chocolate is rather soft, so it was easy to stick my thumb through it to break it up. Inside were 15 little Smarties lentils, far smaller than the regular Smarties. They come in pleasant pastel colors. The chocolate is bland and sweet and sort of fudgy-thick. It doesn't taste like something that should be eaten, more like packaging. The texture is decent enough, but I admit I'm spoiled from the Rococo Chocolate I had yesterday, so perhaps the proximity of the reviews is unfair. The Smarties don't use the same chocolate. They taste nutty, like unroasted peanuts and porridge. The thin, crispy shell is fun. They're about as good as Sixlets. Even though I thought this was a marginal product, they're inexpensive enough to buy and use as place settings for a dinner or give to a child. The interactivity of the candy inside is really what makes this special along with the attention to detail in the foil wrap and mold. The Nestle Milkybar Rabbit is just as cute in his little white foil outfit. Milkybar is a Nestle white confection bar. It's made with natural ingredients, but like the Smarties chick, it contains extra whey as filler and some vegetable oils ... but there is real cocoa butter in there. It does seem to have a mix of sunflower and soy lecithin. The other allergens listed on the label were traces of peanuts and tree nuts. While I may complain about the use of vegetable oils, this is 26% dairy, so they're not kidding when they say milky. This fellow clocked in a little shy of a full ounce, my guess is the difference in weight between the two is the little Smarties. (Why this one doesn't get Smarties, I don't know. They don't make a white confection Smarties at the moment.) Out of the foil, this rabbit looks a bit like a themed guest soap. It's cute and has a very thick base so he stands up well. It smells okay, very "dairy" though I'd also say slightly rancid or just not quite fresh. The texture is good, not as silky as, say, the M&Ms White Chocolate, but still not terribly grainy. The dairy flavors are thick and just unpleasant overall. The whole thing has a bit of a plastic note to it, as if I was eating a foam egg carton, not a white chocolate. I'm not a white chocolate snob, I actually like the stuff, but this is not good white chocolate. It's been a long time since I've had a Milkybar (I haven't review them before) but it never impressed me since there are many excellent true white chocolate bars available these days. It's still fun to look at, and for a child who doesn't care for the milk chocolate stuff, if this is what they ask for, it couldn't be cuter, and on top of that, the portion is already controlled. Nestle has been doing a lot to source their cacao through verified sustainable sources, however, their Easter novelty line does not seem to have any of those certifications. Related Candies

Russell Stover Eggs: Carrot Cake, Birthday Cake and Wedding CakeI'm not surprised that Russell Stover is expanding its cake-themed candies, as they already have a Cookie Dough Egg and multiple holiday version of Red Velvet Cake. This spring they've introduced three new eggs all with cake themes: Carrot Cake, Birthday Cake and Wedding Cake. The thing that's so odd about them is that they're eggs. None of these flavors are particularly Easter themed. In fact, I find the idea of a Birthday Cake flavored egg for Easter downright odd. Carrot Cake is the only one that makes a modicum of sense, since carrots are associated with rabbits, which are associated with Easter. Russell Stover Carrot Cake Egg covered in White Chocolate is only one ounce. It looks the same as the other Russell Stover egg packaging, green foil and a white emblem on the front with a little bow and the Russell Stover logo. There are elements of an amber orange and a slice of cake featured on the lower right. As with the other cake and dough eggs that Russell Stover started making, it's an odd sort of bon bon. The filling actually contains cake mix. So inside is an unbaked cake mix that's creamed together with some milk and butter to create a filling that's then molded into an egg shape inside a white chocolate shell. Kind of weird. It smells very sweet with a little note of cinnamon and nutmeg along with some sort of dairy milk. It's a little flat, so it's easy to bite. It's extremely sweet, but the filling has a sort of cookie dough consistency. It's a little grainy, as I can feel the sugar and the raw flour in the center. It's not pasty, as there's enough fat in there to let it dissolve and melt like a bon bon should. The carrot notes are a bit lost, it's the spice cake flavors that really create the reality. Overall, aside from its sweetness, it's pretty good. I can't say that I've ever really wanted a carrot cake bonbon, so this doesn't fill a hole in my heart. I'd say that some pecans would enhance it, but they're an unlikely addition at this price point. Russell Stover Birthday Cake Egg in Milk Chocolate with Sprinkles doesn't look much like a birthday item. Sure, there's a bow on it, but there's a bow on all of them, and they're not for anyone's birthday. This egg feels bigger than the others, though the wrapper says it's also one ounce. The cake featured in the picture is a yellow cake with a chocolate frosting. Just as the carrot cake version lists cake mix, this one lists Yellow Cake Mix in the ingredients (also white chocolate, even though it's covered in milk chocolate). The egg is not molded like the others, instead its enrobed, like the Cookie Dough Egg I reviewed last year. There are little sprinkles stuck to it, though I think there were just as many rattling around in the package when I unwrapped it. I don't care for sprinkles, they look pretty and all, but they're a mess. They don't taste good and they just leave evidence everywhere that you've not only been indulging, but indulging in something with sprinkles on it. The egg itself smells a bit like dough, it has that uncooked batter note to it. The center is soft and easy to bite, the chocolate stays together, but the sprinkles rarely make it into my mouth. The milk chocolate is merely passable, it's not strong but does have a sort of malty element that stands up to the otherwise bland battercream. Though I don't have a cookie dough version right here, I recall this being much different except that the center is a little softer and less crumbly. If you're a cake person, sprinkle person or your birthday happens to fall around the time we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, this may be the perfect candy for you. Russell Stover Wedding Cake covered in White Chocolate is an extremely sweet confection. (I didn't get a photo of the package, or even a particularly good photo of the candy.) It's a white cake center with a white chocolate coating, so the notes are pretty much vanilla and sugar. The center is a bit softer than the Birthday Cake, though still has the sugary grain to it. It's just slightly fluffed but has an overall milky sweet flavor and a hint of the raw flour. It was far too sweet with no actual purpose to it. The idea of wedding cake that's all white with white frosting and no note of raspberry or marzipan is actually kind of foreign to me. This taste more like grocery store sheet cake ... which is not something I think anyone strives to emulate. I'm sure there are some super-sweet-toothers who will enjoy this, but I think it as was just too sweet and one-note. The cake thing is lost on me. I don't mind when things go back to the source of why we made it a cake flavor in the first place, like taking the flavor elements of coconut and chocolate and caramel from a German Chocolate Cake ... but yellow cake can stay in the realm of baked goods from no on.

Justin's White Chocolate Peanut Butter CupsJustin's White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are a limited edition version of their dark and milk chocolate peanut butter cups. They're available only at Whole Foods this winter. What sets these apart from other white peanut butter cups is the fact that Justin's not only uses real white chocolate, it's also fair trade cacao butter. All of the ingredients are organic except the sea salt,which is an inorganic item anyway. The palm oil is sustainably sourced and the cacao comes from Rainforest Alliance certified growers. Justin's is gluten free as well. Still, with all those qualifiers, they're still a white chocolate candy, which has a pretty narrow band of fans. The cups are beautiful, a creamy yellow white with a little dollop in the center. The white chocolate has a lot of milk in it (the third ingredient) and has a lot of dairy flavors to it. The peanut butter center is salty, with a grainy crunch but also a smooth roasted flavor to it. From my early taste tests of Justin's peanut butter cups, they've really come a long way in balancing out the texture of the center without being too oily or too dry. The white chocolate bring a lot of creaminess and vanilla flavors, the overall effect is like eating peanut butter cookie dough. I'm a fan of good white chocolate (and will eat bad white confections against my better judgement) and this is some very well made stuff. Since Reese's switched to a white confection, as far as I know, these are the only nationally distributed white chocolate peanut butter cups available. I did notice one odd thing on the package. The cups are 1.4 ounces total and it says that it's 180 calories. But the rest of the nutrition panel does not support that. There are 16 grams of fat (9 calories per gram) and 19 grams of carbs (4 calories per gram) then 4 grams of protein (4 calories per gram) all tallies up to 236 calories, not 180. (Reese's Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter cups are 210 calories for 1.5 ounces.) So if these calculations are correct, that's 169 calories per ounce. Mmm, high fat density. I like these and I'd probably pick them up again. But Justin, where are those dark chocolate hazelnut butter cups I've been longing for? Related Candies

Sugarfina: The ChocolatesLast week I profiled the exceptional and hard to find gummis from Sugarfina. They also sent a second Bento box to me with chocolate items. They're all panned candies but a far more diverse selection from the gummis. Most are made in the US, and like the gummis, Sugarfina doesn't specify who makes them. Vanilla Bean Malt Balls: The white chocolate coating is flecked with vanilla bean bits. The pieces smell strongly of vanilla with a hint of toffee and coffee in there. The coating is sweet and milky, but completely overwhelmed by the bourbon-y vanilla. There's also a fair bit of salt in there, so it wasn't as sickly sticky feeling as it could have been. There's a layer below that, perhaps a dark chocolate but mostly it's there to break up the sweetness. Below that is the crunchy center, which has a mild cereal flavor but not much in the way of malt. The whole effect is satisfying, but in the sense that I didn't need to eat more than two in one serving. So even though the package was small and had very few pieces in it, I never felt the need to gobble the whole thing up. Single Malt Scotch Cordials: are a classic from Koppers. While I love the panned cordials, these raised my expectations a little too high. I'm good with a comforting rum flavored cordial without complaint. But these were labeled as single malt scotch. Though they have a little stronger note of leather or tobacco, they're not terribly different from the ordinary flavored cordials. I'll probably stick to the rum or cognac version in the future. If you've never had them, there's a liquid center, which is a little flavored syrup, then a sugar crusted shell then a layer of dark chocolate. The sugar shell makes it all very sweet. The Espresso Caramels were very similar to the Trader Joe's Butterscotch Caramels (which I suspect are made by Marich). They're wonderfully proportioned with a fair amount of mild semi-sweet chocolate and a nugget of soft, chewy caramel at the center. The coffee notes were not particularly strong, but still created a satisfying candy. The Marshmallow S'Mores are an extraordinary little construction. At the center is a little marshmallow, then a milk chocolate coating. What sets this apart is the dusting of graham cracker on the outside. The marshmallow is mild and also kind of tiny, so all it does is make the whole thing lighter and easier to chew without giving it the doughy puff of sugar that I usually associate with Smores. The milk chocolate is sweet and very milky which offsets the graham crackers slightly salty and cereal flavors. I didn't really care for the graham notes, mostly because they seemed a bit on the stale side, for crumbs. Pastel Malted Milk Eggs are a classic. It's hard to not like them, even when they're bad. There were only four of them in the little box, because they were each so big. The malt was good, crunchy and dense. The chocolate was okay, it didn't add much to it, as is usually the case with pastel eggs because of the crunchy shell. I'd eat a lot of these if I had them. Peanut Butter Caramels are not new to me. I tried them a few years back after hearing the concept and being intrigued. It's a caramel center with a peanut butter coating then it's rolled in powdered sugar. The whole effect is sweet, not peanutty enough and not chewy either. But I still find myself eating them all. I don't know if they need chocolate or not, but I like the idea of a peanut butter confection that doesn't have chocolate. Rainbow Raisins were completely new to me. It makes sense, if a Peanut M&M is just a candy coated Goober, why can't there be a candy coated Raisinet? The colors are satisfying and lovely. The shells are crunchy and perhaps even a little floral tasting. The raisins were especially moist and chewy though sometimes I wasn't sure there was any chocolate in there at all. They're quite sweet, but the tangy bite of the raisins cuts that a little bit. On the whole, the chocolates are quite fun and it's easy to see how the hard to find combinations would make a special gift. They're also expensive and though the bento boxes are a silly amount of packaging, the regular boxes are actually pretty efficient as they're stuffed to the brim. The result of the packaging is that the candies don't roll around a lot and get scuffed up. I'm giving the whole roundup an 8 out of 10 rating. Related CandiesMonday, June 3, 2013
Dove Mint & Dark Chocolate Swirl PromisesDove is again expanding their line of foil wrapped pieces with Dove Mint & Dark Chocolate Swirl Promises. Dove has done some wonderful things with white chocolate lately, the best thing is that they're using cocoa butter instead of substitute oils. This is expecially noticeable in products like this one where chocolate and white chocolate are together. Dove did a great job with their Peppermint Bark for the holidays, it's a great layered combination of chocolate, white chocolate and mint candy pieces. I assumed that these new Promises would be similar to the Peppermint Bark but without the crunch. These feature a combination of the classic Dove semisweet chocolate swirled together with artificially-colored white chocolate flavored with peppermint. Other than finding the color of them a bit unappetizing, I think these are great. They're minty, but it doesn't overwhelm the chocolate. They have an incredibly silky melt and just two or three are a satisfying treat. I don't think they needed the coloring, in fact, I think it detracts from them. The foil does enough to denote the flavor inside, a white or off-white would have been just fine for most people. I prefer them in the pieces, I don't think I'd be up for eating a whole bar of this. I'm fond of Andes Mints, but these are much better ... better ingredients, better melt on the tongue, real chocolate ... and pretty much the same price. Mars is moving towards using all ethically and sustainably sourced chocolate through Rainforest Alliance for their Dove line. Related Candies

I am experiencing the same problem with Property Inspector (ACAD for mac version E.49.H.505): it fails randomly after some uses, but with no crashes (I mean, as a consequence of this...). I have to reopen the file in order PI to work again. This problem appears even with very simple designs created from scratch with this version of ACAD for mac. Doubtless, this bug, although not critical, it is quite disturbing, as the user expends extra time (beyond the reasonable).
I too am having the same problem - no crashes, just inconsistent activation of the Properties Inspector. Sometimes it displays the properties of the selected object(s), sometimes it only displays the layer's properties or running (?) properties (essentials or all are the options on this one).
Can Autodesk please help us solve this problem? It's quite essential for efficient use of the program!
Oddly enough I'm not having this problem any more. I didn't do anything in particular to fix it, other than install the latest update. Still having some crashes, and xrefs are still not correctly placed.
You're lucky, I have the program updated but the problem is still there...
Band new iMAC with 12GB & 3.2GHz CPU, installed trial version and found within about 10 minutes it crashed out when using the properties inspector!!!!.
The new patch appears to sort this problem out but the program is now very unstable when compared to the verison with out the patch.
Fingers crossed for the second patch
I have been experiencing problems with picked objects' properties not showing up in the Properties Inspector. I have narrowed it down to instances after I have used gestures on the track pad to zoom/pan. If I zoom/pan with an external mouse (microsoft mouse, to be specific) I am able to pick lines and their properties are shown in the Properties Inspector.
Has anyone else had this problem? Know of a solution?
After reading that last comment I went back and selected something after my properties inspectore had stopped working, zoomed out by pinching with the trackpad, and the properties inspector came right back to life. Weird, but it's been working so far...
Good catch. If I pick something after multi-touch gestures, property inspector does not work. If I immediately reselect with my mouse, it works. Interesting.
I did note some earlier comments about similar difficulties with the layer manager box and hatch match properties and have had the same properties. I'll have to try using my mouse for those as well and see if it responds differently.
I started experiencing the same problem a couple days ago. When Im using the Track Pad and select on a line, circle, arc, hatch, etc., the Property Inspector does not recognize the selection. But after I zoom in on the Pad it will work again. weird. It's definitely a disturbance and takes a lot longer to complete a drawing. So, I spoke with an AutoCAD Support Technician (After $150) and he says it very well could be the Track Pad. So, I started using a mouse and haven't had the issue. Yet. Hopefully with Update # 3 AutoDesk will fix this Bug. Its nice not having to use a mouse but seems like the only temporary fix.
Will let everyone know if I find out anything else.
Hello Ryan, I have been examining your case. I can repro the issue when using the two finger pan gesture on a trackpad, either on the MacBook Pro or with a Bluetooth trackpad for an iMac.
I will be passing along the conditions to reproduce the non-responsive Property Inspector to our development team to examine. In the mean time, you can still use your track pad if you will just do a slight pinch zoom after a two finger pan. That will re-enable the PI to show object properties.
We apologize for the inconvenience. I will also request a refund for your Pay Per Incident charge of $150 as this issue was not due to anything you were doing wrong.

They've caused the leaves to fall and the roots to shrivel. They dart in and out of the bottom of the bulb. Any clue what they are and how to eliminate them? I'd hate to lose my telos leonardii species bulb. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Any chance for a pic of these? |
- Posted by brownest_thumb none (My Page) on Thu, Jan 23, 14 at 13:56
Best I could do after 5 min of trying. They are not photogenic... and they are very quick. It is the white dot on the side of the bulb to left of the small root |
I'm not sure what they are but it would appear that your bulb has some rot somewhere either caused by these bugs or they have just taken up residence in the rot. I would peel the bulb down and scarify the basal plate down to a clean surface and then you will need to dip the bulb in a liquid insecticide to kill the remaining bugs. What do the leaves look like? If you don't have any leaves I would dip the whole bulb in the insecticide or do the hot water treatment for which there are instructions on this forum.

RIVERTON, Wyo. — Police are investigating the abduction of a Riverton girl from her home.
A 9-year-old girl was taken from her bedroom at about 3:40 a.m. Saturday.
Capt. Eric Murphy of the Riverton Police Department says the girl's parents went to her room after they heard a scream and found the screen on her window had been cut and the girl missing.
Police found the girl walking along a nearby street about 40 minutes later. She told them that an older man wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and blue shoes had abducted her.
Murphy would not discuss whether the girl was injured. He says her parents took her to get medical attention.

On Nov. 18 at Military Island in Times Square, a team of Heat-Techies dressed in silver bodysuits will be scanning pedestrians with a thermograph that reveals the coldest parts of the body. The consumers can then walk over to a giant human vending machine that dispenses free products. Press of a button for men's or women's clothing sets in motion models inside the machine, who dance a choreographed routine and dispense a package of Heattech innerwear. Uniqlo is investing $1 million worldwide in the marketing effort with similar events scheduled to take place in London, Paris, Beijing and Seoul. "In Japan we sold 20 million units last year and the plan is to sell 30 million this year. We're ordering over 200,000 units for the SoHo store," a spokeswoman said.

It was a little heavier but not too bad. I got it for a Christmas present so the price was right. It worked really well and it was not hard to load. The magazine itself is not much bigger than a 30 rounder believe it or not. Surefire really makes some good stuff.

Even though this towering knight is upstaged at the end of the game, you'll hate Golbez's guts from the moment he sets foot on the screen. He's a manipulator, a liar and a mind controller, all things that serve to hinder your progress throughout the game. Golbez affects almost every character in the game on a personal level, either by taking something precious by force or actively killing characters in cold blood. Late in the game astounding revelations are made about his origins, and the twist makes this character even more interesting. Golbez may not destroy the world, but in 20 short hours he manages to wreck the personal lives of your entire group. Damn.

Devouring 'Nightbreed' Or, Why Even Dead People Frown Upon Necrophilia
Features By Adam Charles on July 27, 2012 | Comments (1)Welcome back to Junfood Cinema. We break laws for meat. Column-owner Brian Salisbury is currently further North than the Northest of the Dakotas covering the Fantasia Film Fest in Montreal. If he knew what Canadians really did he might have rethought his trip. The most I know is that he was alive and well two days ago. Or do I? Canadians are weird and they harbor weird things. I know that because I've seen today's movie that's set in Calgary, directed by a famous author who writes famously weird stories and starring a famous director who directs famously weird movies in Canada and that makes me a certifiable expert on 1990 Canada. Everything else I learned about Canada I got from Dear Zachary and dammit things just got real and now I'm crying. But back to Canada being South of normal and North of Dakota, if today's film is any indication as to the happenings of what goes on with the dead in that region of the world then, well, free healthcare is making a ton of sense. I know I'm supposed to plug something clever about how we integrate food in with the movie that we write about, but I just finished re-watching this movie and there is a big pile of man-poo-blob-cyst-slobber creature thing that resembles a Pod fusion between the Brundle Fly and a bowl of clam chowder. So, thank you Clive Barker and David Cronenberg, because appetite destructed. Now about this movie Nightbreed…

Unfortunately, he seems to be almost 400 years too late for those kinds of shenanigans. So he hops the English Channel to become a spy with MI-7. Of course, no one told him that MI-7 was actually nothing more than propaganda. So he heads back home for a good night's sleep, and to make sure that happens, he videotapes himself throughout the house. While he doesn't witness any paranormal activity, there are many unspeakable things that can be seen on them.

During North Carolina's 2013 legislative session, a fierce debate took place over how to change the state tax code. Because Republicans had won a super majority in the General Assembly as well as the governor's race in 2012, the real tug-of-war centered around an aggressively conservative tax reform package.

The best part was the recovery room nurse. He was tall, dark, hot and had a tattoo peeking out from the sleeve of his scrubs. I think he liked me, because he went and got me cranberry juice and graham crackers, and even unwrapped them for me!
The discharge papers said I should get this done every ten years, but I'm ready to go back next week if I can have the same recovery room nurse!

I have looked for weeks at all different kinds of flooring for our basement and read many opinions on this website. I saw Moduleo Vinyl Flooring today at a store. It looks very nice and the salesperson said that even though it is a new product she thinks the quality is quite good. The website is not set up yet in English.
Has anyone used it? Wood look-alike or Ceramic-tile look alike? The rest of our house is oak flooring and we have a lot of wood so I'd tend towards the tile look. Don't want to put down a wood based product in the basement - laminate, cork, manufactured wood or bamboo because I worry about water. We do live in the rain belt. Any thoughts? Thanks! |

South Africa's media tribunal: US ambassador weighs in on press freedom
(Read article summary)The United States has joined those questioning proposed changes to South Africa's media laws, including a media tribunal and information bill that critics call 'draconian.'
Themba Hadebe/AP
Johannesburg, South Africa
The US Ambassador to South Africa, Donald Gips, waded into the rough waters of South Africa's debate over media freedom, giving a speech on the need both for responsible reporting and for a media environment free of governmental interference.
Speaking at the South African Institute for International Affairs, a private think tank on the campus of Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg, Ambassador Gips suggested that both the media industry and the South African government should find "common ground" in the search for solutions.
"I believe the challenge here is to balance that right of criticism with the need for media professionalism and standards for truthful and fair reporting," Mr. Gips said. "The overturning of apartheid offered South Africans opportunities to come together to create a Constitution that is a model both in terms of citizen responsibility and for its protection of the freedoms so many fought to achieve. South Africa must not turn away from that history now. America still believes that a free press serves as the front line in the defence of democracy." (Read the speech here in its entirety.)

'Inch'Allah' Review: The Smoke Settles to Reveal Death, Frustration, and Inevitability
Foreign Objects By Rob Hunter on August 24, 2013 | Comments (1)We follow a woman wearing a backpack through a crowded street. Kids play around her, diners laugh and eat at a cafe, and a caged pigeon stares blankly at a little boy's smiling face. And then the world explodes. Chloé (Evelyne Brochu) is a Canadian doctor straddling the Israeli/Palestinian border both in her daily activities and in her sympathies. She lives in Israel but works in a clinic on the other side of the concrete wall in the Palestinian city of Ramallah. In addition to the day job she's taken on private nurse duties for a young, pregnant woman named Rand (Sabrina Ouazani) whose husband awaits sentencing from an Israeli judge. Chloé is equally friendly with Ava (Sivan Levy), a female soldier who lives one floor below her. They share the ride to work every day with Ava stopping at the border while Chloé continues past it. The film follows Chloé's day to day experiences in a world where the cycle of violence is never-ending, and all the club-hopping, drinks with friends, and late night calls home to her mother in Canada can't change that. She's witness to the carnage left behind by terrorist bombings and the human rights violations, violent inspections and casual death that come as retribution, and like everyone else there's not a damn thing she can do about any of it.

The Calcutta High Court on Thursday directed the West Bengal government to incorporate names of all leading newspapers in the list of publications to be available in state-run and aided libraries.
A division bench of Chief Justice Arun Mishra and Justice Joymalyo Bagchi directed the government to notify within two weeks the names of leading newspapers, many of which had been struck off from the list of publications available in state-run and aided libraries by the Trinamool Congress government in April, 2012.
Passing the order on a PIL in this regard, the court also said that if the government fails to take the step within two weeks, then the court would be compelled to take necessary action.
The matter would come up for hearing again on July 17.
Counsel Basabi Rai Chowdhury had filed the petition before the high court claiming that the action of the government amounted to violation of Article 19 of the Constitution which provides for freedom of speech and expression.

A better question is why it was loaded? Responsible gun owners always keep their guns locked in a safe, with the ammunition locked up separately. It is far more likely that a family member will accidentally find an unlocked, loaded weapon, and harm themselves or someone else than it is that one can successfully repel a home invader with it.
Re:drugs are bad, mmkay? (147 comments)
To me the most compelling argument is the moral one. There is a clear correlation between Prohibition and increased homicide rates. Of course we know that correlation is not causation, but the pattern repeats in the US in the 1920's, then again after RMN's declaration of war against drug users, and of course in Columbia in the 1990's and Mexico since the Merida Initiative.
The question becomes one of morbid calculation. We trade three murders (give or take) in the (false) hopes of avoiding one overdose death. The really disheartening aspect is the fact that we know that prohibition actually increases the harms to users as well!
At this point we usually hear "Think of the Children!!1!" As you so eloquently pointed out: when drugs are outlawed only outlaws will have drugs. So de facto criminals are in charge of deciding who gets to buy them. What possible incentive would they then have to avoid selling to minors? It seems obvious to me that people whose brains have not fully developed should not have access to mind-altering substances for recreational purposes. For that reason, it is in society's interest to keep minors from using drugs. Unfortunately, this goal is impossible to achieve under prohibition.

Re:Legalizing Mary J is Bad? 4 Good Reasons for Go (147 comments)
You forget one thing: Small time marijuana dealers will become those regulated sources. Since they finally can make their business an official business. Or they can stay unofficial, and thereby be cheaper because of avoiding taxation.
But in any way, it will create more legal jobs. Also usage will go way up.
I don't think this is the best way to implement legalization. In Washington State liquor can only be sold from state-run stores, which decreases our alcohol consumption here and better avoids sales to minors -- this would be a far better way to tax and regulate cannabis.
As for usage going up, I'm not so sure. Maybe for a short period of time, but the Netherlands has the most liberal cannabis laws in Europe while enjoying the smallest percentage of users. Though, in my opinion, the world would be a better place if everybody smoked it
Re:drugs are bad, mmkay? (147 comments)
Very well put! I wish I had some mod points for you.
The part that I love about talking drug reform on the internet is the hugely disproportionate debating and writing abilities between the two camps. I have been following this issue for something like a decade, and I have yet to see any well-written or well-reasoned arguments from the prohibitionist side. It's really telling that they always have to resort to ad-hominem attacks or appeals to authority, and their grammar is much more likely to be atrocious. This is why we will win, eventually.

Indeed, I knew when I was in third grade and being hounded about my penmanship to the point that I never wanted to write another word that content is the most important thing about communication. Form is constantly mutable while the thoughts themselves are constant. It's the same song whether it's sung by Soundgarden or Johnny Cash, Stevie Wonder or The Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Not to mention the fact that I can type at a much closer rate to my train of thought than I can and still maintain legible handwriting. Now the only time I need to write by hand is when I wake up in the middle of the night with an idea, because if I'm the only one who needs to read it then it scrawls itself across the paper encrypted by the hand of glarbl_blarbl.

How much did it cost to get lessons and a license? Was it comparable to the requirements for driving a car legally? Also, doesn't a private plane cost a lot more to buy than a car?
I'm genuinely curious, my dad flew big planes in the Navy before retiring to work for American Airlines and now a leasing company. I've been in the cockpit with him a couple of times, and it looks like a really exhilarating mode of travel if you're in charge of the ride.

Re:People... Austism does not equal Retarded! (419 comments)
just re-read your post. You didn't say I was attacking you X-P.
On that point, I don't think you were directly attacking me. In fact, I doubt it was an attack at all. I just think it was somewhat thoughtless, and I felt the need to correct it since it is in a public forum. I see a lot of misconceptions about people on the spectrum on the internet, when I'm involved in an online discussion about the subject I feel compelled to make sure the information is accurate.
Re:People... Austism does not equal Retarded! (419 comments)
Well, how do you define retardation?
Thanks for the apology, it is appreciated. I don't have a problem with the word "impaired", in fact it seems apt. On the other hand, I find the word "retarded" to be hateful and pejorative. That's all I'm saying.
Words have specific meanings. When you call an entire class of people a word that has become a slur, you should expect that you're hurting someone's feelings. I don't think I'm asking too much here to keep that in mind. And I also think that we're having a relatively civilized discussion, how do you think I attacked you?
Re:People... Austism does not equal Retarded! (419 comments)
That's funny! I have a distinct memory of being taught empathy, but I just took an online test a few days ago where you're supposed to tell what emotion a person is feeling with only a photograph of the eyes to go on. I think I got like 60% right. I'd post the link, but it's 3AM here and I'm going to bed.

Well, if my theory is correct that those of us on the Autistic Spectrum are the next step in human evolution... Then you won't have to worry about it!
Re:I'd love this job! (419 comments)
Same here. Only thing is I don't want to move to Chicago!
Re:People... Austism does not equal Retarded! (419 comments)
All I'm saying is that autistic people, while having a good mind for facts and that sorts of things, have a poor mind for social interaction, which is kind of important. So I would argue that is it a kind of impairment.
But it most certainly is not mental retardation. One little data point for you: I have Asperger Syndrome, and an IQ of 148. Also, just because non-verbal communication is not intuitive to people with ASD it does not necessarily follow that we are incapable of learning it. Please remember that you are talking about real people here with real feelings, and a lot of us read slashdot. Spreading your misconceptions to people who don't know any better can create real problems for us.
Though Congress created ONDCP to formulate research-driven and performance-based policy, assess and modify policy through performance measures, and give a precise accounting of the federal drug control budget, ONDCP fails at all of those tasks. In the 90's ONDCP created a performance measurement system for evaluating the effects of its policies on drug use, drug availability, and the negative consequences of drug use; however, this decade, no such performance measurement system has been utilized. As a consequence, policy is now flying blind resulting in lost opportunities for more success.
Carnevale, who is responsible for the creation of the above-mentioned 'performance measurement system', offers the following recipe to fix America's Drug Problem.
The central task of ONDCP — and what must now become the central political debate — is determining how best to combine and fund the five essential ingredients of drug control policy: prevention, treatment, domestic law enforcement, international or source country programs, and interdiction.
I understand why the people who actually work at the ONDCP don't consider tax and regulation (they are required by law to oppose any movement toward legalization anywhere in the country), but how can someone with a Ph.D. in Economics get away with advocating the continuation of such a huge and destructive black market?"

I don't understand why the system is set up this way. For one thing, I had spent all my points so there was no possibility of modding up my post. And for another I was AC, so even if I did mod up my own post I wouldn't gain any karma - right?
I like being a moderator, and I feel like I do it well. I have even modded up posts with which I disagreed but found that they were insightful or informative. So it annoys me that the points I carefully spent were wiped away for what seems like no reason.
Ok, I'm done ranting for now. I feel a little better now. And remember kids: even posting anonymously won't preserve those mod points you spent!
Instead of working at the pace specified on the course pages, I went and got my band (a meta-genre (alternative country/rock/funk/jazz/pop/reggae coming soon) band called Madrona) going on our debut album (untitled at this point). You can listen to some rough mixes here: http://18.104.22.168/~g/
We've been working on those songs and a few more for about a month now. Unfortunately, my mother has been suffering from some health problems over about the same time period. More important things than Assembler, Job Control Language, and intro to OS/390- I think.
The band I'm playing with now is the best group of guys I've played with yet. Jake Johnson and I have been jamming for a few years now (with Velveteen and Pervert Hero), and he still amazes me with his ear and memory for songs. Not to mention his killer pipes. Thats him on "Trippin" and "Prelude", I sing lead on "Psyche's Swing" and "Ice Ages. Conan Holroyd plays drums like a wildman, and is totally versitile- he used to play with a regionally poplular punk band called So Much Untold. Brandon Schmidt will be playing bass and guitar with us live, and he just wrote a killer Roy Orbison-style song which I can't wait to record.
We plan on finishing the album before the end of the year. We have only to mix and make some transitions before it's done. We're going to put up an ad at AIS for a music business student looking to learn how to set up a tour, or at the very least some shows in Seattle. It's been a few years since I played the Ballard Firehouse (though I think they closed down, unfortunately).
I have a friend who promised to help us make a webpage, he's currently doing the Computer Animation program at the Art Institute of Seattle (the same place I went to get my AAA in Audio Production), which seems to keep him too busy to reply to my emails...
I have a slackware10 box where my webserver lives, but without anything good to put up it still has the Apache start page. I'm waiting till Maret uploads what he's done before I go and get a domain name... It bums me out that he hasn't written me back, cause he's one of my favorite artists.
I did get a kickass open-source forum/weblog program called WordPress. It took me a little while to uncomment the right lines in the apache config files to make php go (damn, how I love slackware!), and to make MySQL secure and ready to go (the MySQL online manual could use some proofreading, but I don't have time)- but it wasn't all that hard. Wordpress has a fucking huge list of plugins, most of which I probably won't use.
So I have the apache default page up at the top-level, and then an empty blog/forum under a directory... I feel like I should wait before I start putting stuff in the forums until I get a css for the rest of the site. Maybe I'll just let my subconsious work on it until I get an actual webpage up.
I'm planning on setting up a couple of databases for my dad sometime early next year. I'm going to take over my sister's old computer (PIII 800MHz) when she goes to Australia for a year. I plan on making it into a server, most likely to replace the webserver. That will leave me with a couple of K6-III 500MHz boxes doing nothing- so I'm going to put one in the garage as a wireless AP/MySQL server for my dad to keep track of his farm equipment and vehicle maintenance. I've also found some linux software which will interface with his Davis Weather Monitor and will be able to do backups much more easily than the M$ software which came from Davis. Should make it easy enough to make a web-based interface for looking at the data and working with his fleet information.
The hard part here will be deciding how to distribute the disk space. I tried to get NFS to work a few times - back when I was running RedHat (Tried it on 6, 9 and FC1- gave up on RH when FC2 came out and I realized that they had totally revamped the
When I ran apt-get update and it wouldn't reboot I learned my lesson. When I got home, I found that it had upgraded the kernel - leaving the old one in LILO as the default, and of course it wouldn't boot. Luckily, I had two servers running so as soon as I could get in to change the firewall I was able to upload enough stuff so I didn't have to bum any DVD-Rs from my friends.
So after that I moved to Slack10 and never looked back. Now I have those 2 500MHz boxes and a nearly-antique Comcraq laptop (188MHz Cyrix/48MB) running slack10.
I don't know if I would have liked slack as much as I do if I hadn't been playing with RH for five years and debian for six months prior. Once I started reading all the files in the
The only problem is that I haven't set up any routing, so I can only access the computer directly attached to the serial cable. But once I ssh in, I can access the rest of the LAN and the internet. This is a temporary solution, so I probably won't bother with routing- I'll just save up for a wireless card.
Now that I think about it, I can probably do a little cutting-and-pasting from this journal entry for my first blog post.. heh.

The Greener Grocer opened in January of 2008 with a goal of stocking our shelves with a wide variety of "good food": local, seasonal and sustainably grown products from small, family farms throughout Central Ohio. Our product selection emphasized local and artisanal products, including fruits and vegetables, honey, maple syrup, flour, grains, and dairy.
The business was one of the first social enterprise models in Columbus with a focus on two outcomes: profitability and then re-investment of our profits for the good of our community. A significant portion of our time, energy and profits were donated to Local Matters, a nonprofit that I co-founded in 2008.
In January of 2014, I started a new company called Good Food Enterprises: a brand that seeks to partner with and/or invest in businesses that participate in the Good Food Movement and whose business model helps to expand the supply of local, regional and sustainably grown foods.
As a part of my work at Good Food Enterprises, I've been working with and supporting a group of local, organic growers who are working collaboratively as Great River Farms-In 2015, GRFs will become Great River Organics (GRO) as all the member farms will be certified organic. Together, we've been marketing and distributing the Great River Market Bag, a multi-farm CSA share that is filled with vegetables grown on our member farms.
I'm closing The Greener Grocer on December 31, 2014 to devote more time to the community investment work of Good Food Enterprises and to support Great River Organics' expansion into a wholesale distribution company for local, regional and certified organic products.
I have loved being a merchant in the North Market for the past seven years and am grateful for the tremendous support that we have received from our shoppers, the many passionate and dedicated employees who have passed through our doors and to the farmers and artisans who work so hard, for so little, to keep us so well fed. You all rock!
While I am sad to leave the North Market family, I am equally excited to continue my work to expand the availability of Good Food for all.
In Gratitude.

Native American History of Henry County, Georgia
Henry County is located in central Georgia and is part of the Atlanta Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA.) It is named after Patrick Henry (1736–1799) – ardent patriot and twice governor of Virginia. Its county seat is McDonough. Henry is bounded on the north by Rockdale and DeKalb Counties. On the east Newton County forms
