Google to Kill IE6 Gmail Support in 2010
Just recently, search engine giant halted older browsers support for few of their apps. Turns out, it's only the beginning, as Google spokesman said: "We plan to stop supporting older browsers for the rest of the Google Apps suite, including Gmail, later in 2010″.
This move is slightly unexpected, as IE6 still owns 20% of browser market share. As for older browsers quote, Firefox 2.0, Safari 2.0 and Chrome 3.0 won't be supported as well.
Chrome Grabs 5% Market Share as Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera Share Goes Down
Microsoft Internet Explorer lost yet another chunk of market share, and went down from 62.69% to 62.12% (0.57 point decrease).
For a third time in a row, Mozilla Firefox lost more market share, as it fell from 24.61% to 24.43% (0.18 point decrease).
Yet another huge gain for Chrome web browser; moving up, from 4.63% to 5.22%, making it a 0.59 point increase.
Slowly but surely, Safari increased its market share by 0.07 point, up from 4.46% to 4.53% Continue Reading

Oprah to Host "Christmas at the White House"
According to ABC, soon-to-be-retired talk show queen, Oprah Winfrey, is planning to spend, "Christmas at the White House."
The special will feature a sit-down interview with President Barack Obama, and first lady Michelle. It will be her first interview with the president since he took office. During the special, Oprah will be given a tour of the White House, as White House staff decorates the home for Christmas.
Last Friday, the daily talk show queen made the tearful announcement she was wrapping it up after 25 years of The Oprah Winfrey Show.
"After much prayer and months of careful thought, I've decided the next season, season 25, will be the last season of The Oprah Winfrey Show," she said.
"I love this show. This show has been my life. And I love it enough to know when it's time to say goodbye. Twenty-five years feels right in my bones, and it feels right in my spirit. It's the perfect number, the exact right time."
According to reports, her staff was informed of the show's ending that Thursday night. The New York Times has reported that Oprah's camp is now proposing for a new daytime talk show hosted by Nate Berkus, an interior designer who guest-starred on her show numerous times.
Meanwhile, Oprah is expected to put her full attention on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, which will launch January 2011.
"Christmas at the White House: An Oprah Primetime Special," is set to air Sunday, Dec. 13, at 10 p.m. --Linda Hobbs

Haldimand County, Ontario, is situated 50 miles (81 km) southeast of Waterloo County, at the outlet of the Grand River into Lake Erie. Across Lake Erie to the south can be seen the ridge of Pennsylvania bordering the lake near Erie City. Having a heavy clay soil in many parts, it is suited to the cultivation of grain, hay, and livestock. It was one of the earliest Mennonite settlements of Ontario. To this area came tie Hoovers (Hubers) about 1790, from York County, Pennsylvania, or near Gettysburg. Fuller accounts will be found under Rainham, South Cayuga (MC).

Am I approaching rollover buttons the right way?
Hi all,
This is the first time I'm trying to use imported graphics as buttons. I have a bunch of .png images for inactive buttons and rollover state buttons.
In my html I have each button area coded as follows:
Code:

Then in my CSS, I have the images for the nav div styled as such:
Code:#nav img { margin: 4.5%; visibility: visible; top: 122px; left: 23px; height: 53px; border-style: none;
The graphics look great and position themselves just perfectly, but now I don't know how to make them change when I hover my mouse over them
do I need to create a#nav img:hover
statement for each button? And then change the background image png for each?
I'm really having trouble wrapping my head around this.

Hello RKic,
Your CSS is be a little off, you are using top and left coordinates but you don't position the img.
The anchor you have in your markup works as a linked image but not so well as a rollover.
Have a look at a simple CSS rollover example here and see if that helps you. That example is a 3-state rollover but the theory is the same for just a 2-state.

I hate to admit it, but I'm still very much a beginner, and kind of need things spelled out to me sometimes. I'm not really sure what is going on at the example site.
I mean, what should the CSS be doing here? Is it telling the HTML to switch between two stored images? Or am I styling the link ?
I'm not grasping something fundamental here.

Act 1, Scene 1 Summary
Faustus, a young man, sits in his study, pondering which way he should turn his studies. Though he considers studying such disciplines as philosophy, medicine, or theology, he is very tempted to study magic instead because of the power it would give him. In order to help him make up his mind, Faustus sends his servant Wagner to go fetch his friends Valdes and Cornelius so that they can advise him on what he should do.
After Wagner leaves, a Good Angel and a Bad Angel come to Faustus in order to give him advice. The Good Angel, of course, advises him to stay with his regular studies, whereas the Bad Angel tells him to study magic instead.
The angels leave and Valdes and Cornelius, two young sorcerers who are friends of Faustus, arrive to counsel Faustus on whether he should study magic. Of course...

(Updates with comments from Pecresse in third paragraph, carbon tax in 11th.)
Sept. 28 (Bloomberg) -- French President Nicolas Sarkozy's government presented a 2012 budget that keeps spending unchanged from this year, with higher debt and pension charges continuing to weigh on its deficit.
The deficit in 2012 will be 81.8 billion euros ($111.3 billion), or 4.5 percent of economic output, down from 95.5 billion, or 5.7 percent, this year. The deficit was 7.1 percent in 2010. Spending in the government's general budget and payments to local governments will amount to 275.6 billion euros in 2012, unchanged from 2011.
"The 2012 budget is built to cut spending, it's a key, essential step on our way to cut debt," Budget Minister Valerie Pecresse told reporters in Paris. "For the first time since the war, a government has managed to hold the line on spending."
Sarkozy, like President Barack Obama, must balance his re- election bid against the need to fix his nation's finances. France, the second-biggest contributor to the euro region's bailout funds, now pays a premium of 73 basis points over Germany to borrow for 10 years, up from 27 basis points when the rescue system was set up in May 2010.
Both Germany and France are AAA-rated countries. France's financial institutions' holdings of debt in troubled euro-region countries and its slowing economic growth sparked speculation its top credit rating may be at risk.
"We are being scrutinized, we must keep our commitments," Pecresse said.
Debt Servicing
The cost of servicing France's debt will rise to 48.8 billion euros in 2012 from 45.4 billion euros, and pension spending will increase to 37.9 billion euros from 36.0 billion euros, the budget shows. The debt will start to decline from 2013, Pecresse said.
"Debt will fall when the deficit drops below 3 percent of gross domestic product," Pecresse said. "The turning point will be in 2013, that's when debt will start to decrease."
At 1.6 trillion euros, France's outstanding debt will be about 85 percent of GDP by year-end, according to the International Monetary Fund. That compares with 120.6 percent for Italy and 98.3 percent for the U.S.
The budget calls for a 3 percent tax on all incomes over 500,000 euros that will last until the deficit falls below 3 percent of GDP. Some members of Sarkozy's party have called for the income threshold for the tax to be lowered to 250,000 euros.
Pecresse said she expects Parliament to debate the issue. The budget also raises taxes on sugared drinks, and a one-off tax on companies participating in the European Union's emissions-trading system to help fund the purchase of additional allowances for new plants.
Opposition Control
Outlines of the 2012 budget were announced last month when Prime Minister Francois Fillon unveiled 12 billion euros in budget-trimming measures to reassure markets the country was committed to shrinking its deficit.
The budget will be the first of the five that Sarkozy's government has presented since his 2007 election that will face a Senate controlled by the opposition. The Socialist party this week took control of the Senate, which can delay, although not block, legislation.
France will continue to replace only one out of every two retiring civil servants, Pecresse said, which will reduce the state's payrolls by 30,400 in 2012.
The budget is based on French growth of 1.75 percent in 2012 and a consumer inflation rate of 1.7 percent. It also presupposes a U.S. expansion of 2 percent, euro-area growth of 1.4 percent, an exchange rate of $1.43 to the euro and Brent oil at $110 a barrel.
For 2013 to 2015, the government is forecasting 2 percent growth a year.

Silver Bear ToffeeToffee is a strange thing. It's like caramel gone too long on the burner, but it becomes its own special delight. In the United States, toffee is generally hard caramel: a mixture of sugar and butter. It's boiled slowly to "hard ball" stage and then cooled, usually as flat pieces. What's so wonderful about it is the way it cracks. It's completely irregular. It flakes, it crumbles and it fractures. It's buttery and sweet and often has a nice salty twang to it that cuts through the stickiness. (In the UK they also have soft toffees, which confuses the heck out of me, until I start eating them and then I get distracted. Mmm, toffee.) I got these full-sized samples directly from Brian at Silver Bear Toffee in Colorado. The first indication of their decadence is that the label says "refrigerate," now that's fresh toffee! The ingredients are pretty compelling too: chocolate, almonds, butter, sugar and corn syrup. Each package was a little white box with planks of broken up toffee. The toffee was then covered in chocolate on top and sprinkled with more almonds. The dark chocolate one was my favorite as the smoky and smooth chocolate matched the sweet and salty toffee perfectly. The toffee was so buttery though that sometimes my chocolate fell off the slab. No matter. Toffee is casual; toffee is jeans and a tee. While I may have said I preferred the dark chocolate one, the milk chocolate one disappeared first (it could have been that toffee snitching elves were visiting my kitchen). The toffee crumbles wonderfully on the teeth and becomes a smooth and buttery experience on the tongue. There are lots of nuts in both versions but not in huge pieces, which I prefer (otherwise it'd be nut brittle). When I eat commercial toffee bar, like a Heath bar, my usual custom is to eat the chocolate off first and then eat the toffee slab by itself. I have no desire to do that with this stuff, I want to eat the whole thing: the chocolate, toffee and nuts all at once. The webstore isn't open yet (I was hoping it would be in time for Valentine's) but you can still order by phone: Silver Bear Toffee Toffee is $15 a pound and $8.00 by the half pound. Mine came boxed well with a cold-pack to keep it from melting (not really an issue in the winter).

Darth M&MsIn my continuing effort to bring you timely reviews of new products (that's a joke), I finally found some Darth M&Ms at the 99 Cent Only Store. I picked up collector's pack 18 of 72. In fact, they were all 18 of 72 at the 99 Cent Only Store. I'm not certain if these are still available, the website is still up. I was a little confused at how these are considered dark chocolate, as they have milk in them, but that's probably part of the evil Sith plan. The colors are actually pretty nice. Navy Blue, Maroon, Gray, Black and Lavender. All great colors for a snazzy sweater or scarf. As long as I've brought up the subject of color, this is probably a good time to talk about consumption techniques. There are those people who like to eat M&Ms by color. Eating your candies by color of course makes sense with Skittles where they're different flavors. But M&Ms are not. Still, when I dump a bunch out on my desk for snacking, I divide them up by color. Plain M&Ms are consumed in lots of three, all the same color and when I get to the end, there are particular pairings of colors that are acceptable. I have no idea why I do this, but I'm guessing it's a way of taking full advantage of the colors as a feature. Anyway, these are darker-than-milk chocolate M&Ms. Their colors are bright and shells crunchy but the centers are strangely grainy. Not grainy in the sense of the sugar is not completely dissolved, they're grainy like someone left some ground up oyster shells in them. They're slightly less sweet than the regular plain M&Ms and do have a bit more complex, chocolatey flavor. But they somehow lack the punch of a regular M&M. I wouldn't mind them trying this chocolate on the Almond M&Ms, but I don't really think they work in this format. Maybe the Peanut ones are better (Writers & Artists Snacking at Work liked them). There's little benefit here either for Vegans or those with nut allergies as it's not a suitable candy for either. I also resent dark chocolate being represented as evil. I mean, as candy goes, it's more pure. For the record, the colors are: Dooku Blue, Grievous Silver, Emperor Red, Vader Black & Maul Purple.

KitKat Tsubu Ichigo and Hershey's Strawberries 'n' CremeHere I go again with the KitKats. But this time I thought I'd give you a domestic comparison. It's not exactly a head-to-head post, just two reviews in one. There are whole groups of folks devoted to the various iterations of KitKats and I have to admit I've fallen under the spell, too. I picked up the KitKat Strawberry a few weeks ago. It's a very pretty bar, the Japanese version of KitKats are sold in a box that holds two individually wrapped minibars of two fingers each. They're also quite a bit pricier. I don't know how much they sell for in Japan, but $1.89 for a rather ordinary candy bar is kind of extreme. Everything about this bar screams strawberry. The pink wrapper, the smell and the appearance of the bar. It smells like strawberry waffles or ice cream. The crisp is really good and has its own wheaty flavor. The cream between the cookie layers is also strawberry and the strawberry coating is very smooth. There is no cocoa butter in this concoction though. I'm not usually a big fan of White Chocolate. I like misty mints, but generally white chocolate is just too sweet and bland for me. This bar has an overwhelmingly berry smell along with plenty of sweet notes and a touch of fake vanilla. I like it. I was really surprised, because I've been ignoring this bar for months, but I actually liked it. Once I started writing this and tasting it as I went along, I ate the whole thing. The berry particles were actually there and give the white chocolate a definitely pink cast with little red bits. They weren't as big as the berry bits in the KitKat though. They provided a little tart respite from the otherwise sweet and slightly tangy chocolate. It also reminded me of strawberry yogurt or maybe strawberry ice cream. But most Hershey's chocolate reminds me of yogurt. The strawberry bits also include seeds. So you get fiber with your bar! (They don't mention any fiber on the nutrition info but they do say that it has 10% of my daily calcium!) On the whole the bars had a very definite berry taste that eased the usual sickly sweetness of white chocolate that I've never enjoyed. I also have a Hershey's Raspberries 'n' Creme bar that I'll review in a few days. Canada also has a Milkshake (Malt) version of KitKat I need to get a hold of. Other reviews: Candy Is Awesome - Hersey's Cookies 'n' Creme had some disgusting children and Candy Addict has positive feelings - Strawberry & White Maple. I haven't even scratched the surface with my reviews here of KitKats, check out Wikipedia.

E. Guittard Single Origin Tasting KitI got this fantastic single origin tasting kit from E. Guittard. The photos are deceptive, these are tiny little bars, each is 10 grams (a little over a third of an ounce) and measured a mere 2.5" x 1.25". There were four different varieties that came in a box of 16 wee bars. What was most stunning about these bars is the packaging. The little labels are lively and elegant with their gold leaf and description of the flavor of the particular varietal. Inside, the foil wrappers were beautiful too, with a delicate pattern featuring an impressive bas relief style scene of heaven knows what with three figures probably worshipping the cocoa bean or something. (The comprehensive press kit and tasting kit brochure made no mention of the scene.) Each of the bars looks slightly different as well (except for the Sur del Lago and Quevedo) from different molds. All bars were 65% cacao, which is a good midrange for dark chocolate, allowing for lots of room for cocoa butter to give a nice fatty background to support the complex flavors. Ambanja - notes from package: You're in for a rich chocolate experience! Made primarily from rare Criollo beans from the fertile Sambriano Valley in Madagascar, Ambanja mingles sour essences with deep rich, chocolate flavor. Dark with a slight amber/red tint, this bar was buttery and smooth. There were overwhelming raisin and cherry notes in this bar. It definitely has an acidic tone to it, but not in an unpleasant, bitter or acrid way. It's really very nice. Sur del Lago - notes from package: Complex chocolate flavors underlie subtle hints of red berry fruit. Cacao beans used to make this chocolate were harvested from trees of Criollo and Trinitario heritage in Venezuela's Sur del Lago region. This one started out rather woodsy and sour. It reminded me of the zesty smell of piles of fresh sawdust from a fruit tree. Then the other notes started coming out, including the light berries and maybe some grape. It's pretty mellow and pleasant, but the high sour note is a little odd. Chucuri - notes from package: Long, deep, slow chocolate flavors are accented by pleasant hints of spice. The Trinitario cacao beans used to make this chocolate were grown in the San Vicente de Chucuri Valley of Santader in Colombia. Deep flavors dominate this little bar. It starts out woodsy with some balsam notes of juniper or rosemary. Then it's got some very strong cherry notes that linger for the rest of the melt on the tongue. It's got a high little topnote of lavender or maybe it's bergamot. It gives this bar the best balance of the four. Quevedo notes from package: Quevedo's extremely dark color forshadows its powerful but flowery chocolate taste. The intensity of this rarefied Forestero varietal produces rich green forest, tea and slight nut flavors with a lingering banana and pound cake finish. Smooth but with a notable bitter dryness at first. Rich and woodsy with an exceptionally buttery texture that makes it feel almost fluffy and buoyant on the tongue. I'm getting the tea notes, but I'm totally missing the pound cake the wrapper promises. If you're looking for single origin chocolate that doesn't skimp on the cocoa butter and is so dry that it leaves you gasping for water, this might be the stuff. At only 65% cocoa solids, there's an excellent mix of flavor and texture that's not too sweet. All of the bars are exceptionally smooth without a hint of grain. Here's a tip: this would make an excellent Valentine's Day gift for someone. It's sensual, educational and you can share it. You might think you've never had Guittard chocolate, when you probably have. Guittard is one of the top chocolate makers in the country, but most of the business is making chocolate for other companies. Guittard makes the excellent chocolate that you find on See's candies. It's hard to know who they supply chocolate to, but they're a huge operation and that chocolate is going somewhere tasty. I don't see Guittard in the stores very often, except for their baking chips. They're definitely worth going out of your way for. Most of the varietals from other brands that I'm seeing lately are higher cocoa percentages, so you're missing out on the cocoa butter, which I think is an equal part of the chocolate experience. They're a little pricey directly from E. Guittard's store, you can also find them at Chocosphere (throw some Dolfin and Dagoba in your cart while you're there). Other Reviews: SeventyPercent.com gives Chucuri top marks and here are their reviews of Ambanja, Quevedo and Sur del Lago.

EXCLUSIVE: M&M's Going ExclusiveIn a strange marketing move, M&Ms started informing its online vendors that they will no longer be able to carry the M&Ms ColorWorks 21 color plain chocolate candies, effective immediately. I've been in contact with several "candy insiders" (who did not wish to be named here) but are alarmed at this turn of events. ColorWorks are still available online at many candy stores, but consumers can expect supplies and variety to dwindle as vendors are not able to reorder through M&Ms' wholesale division. I have not been able to ascertain if this will apply to brick and mortar stores like Candy Station and Sweets Factory that also sell the ColorWorks candies. I would expect this to be the case as M&Ms open more of their branded stores as their flagship store in Las Vegas has become and hot destination there. M&Ms has been making great strides in the viral marketing of its custom printable M&Ms online along with the ColorWorks line. Their webstore has an incredible selection, though they are at the moment priced about the same as the online candy stores in the large quantities but when it comes to smaller quantities (one pound or less), buying directly from M&Ms means at least a 20% premium. (Yes, you'd think buying direct would mean you'd pay less, wouldn't you?) When you knock out the middleman, I can imagine that M&Ms profits on these are pretty high. Even with economies of scale it's clear that the ColorWorks are a huge moneymaker for Mars. A half pound of ColorWorks (whether part of a color blend or a single color) are $4.69 for eight ounces ($.59 an ounce). M&Ms cost about $3.50 for a 12 ounce bag (not on sale) at your local grocer ($.29 an ounce). Find an in-store sale on M&Ms for $1.99 a bag and you've brought it down to $.17 an ounce. What does this mean to you and me? Well, less choice. If you want the expanded color selection that M&Ms offers, you'll have to go directly to them from now on (unless they're planning to create "official resellers"). This means that you're beholden to their product pricing and their shipping fees. It also means that shopping for candy just got harder. Say you want to plan a party or event and want to have some ColorWorks M&Ms as well as some Jordan Almonds or Pillow Mints. Well, you're going to have to put in orders at two different places now. Those are some of the best things about webstores - selection and bulk discounts. It's a pain in the ass, to say the least, as you're not going to get the benefit of consolidating your shipping costs and then you're stuck waiting around for two shipments instead of one. What else does it mean? It means that the price is now firmly controlled by M&Ms directly. Oddly enough, you can't even buy Peanut M&Ms in bulk on the M&Ms website. You can only get the Plain ones, so forget about picking up some of the Almond, Crispy, Peanut Butter or Mega ones. Finally, it means a loss of privacy. It sounds like a strange point, but think about it. If you can only get M&Ms ColorWorks online (or at one of their two brick & mortar stores), you're going to be giving them a lot of information about yourself and they're going to be able to harvest info about their customer base on this exclusive line of products far more easily. Mars is a privately held company who is well known for being secretive about their operations. You can view their privacy policy here. Also, M&Ms seems to be threatening resellers that they're not allowed to buy from middlemen on this and I'm guessing anyone caught reselling ColorWorks would be in big trouble, too. It's not clear if Mars wants to just reel in the selling of their premium ColorWorks or if this will eventually apply to all bulk buys of Mars products, such as Skittles, Starbursts, Snickers, 3 Musketeers, Milky Way and Twix. I understand the whole "official resellers" thing when it comes to products that require support and knowlegable staff, like computers or electronics—you know, things that require a certain amount of troubleshooting or perhaps expertise in installation. But this is candy. As long as their storing it correctly, it doesn't require any support. Also, candy is not like soda. There aren't candy stores that sell only Mars or Nestle products like when you go to a fast food restaurant and have to go with either the Pepsi sodas or the Coco-Cola sodas. Imagine a world where you can't purchase a Twix bar at the same time as a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. I have to wonder if this is the direction we're going. As far as I can tell, this is a move on M&Ms part to control their product and corner their marketshare. Candy is a pretty cut-throat business. There are slotting fees paid by the candy companies to the major retailers like grocery chains and drug stores and the candy companies are fiercely protective of their trademarks and products. Witness Hershey's reaction when a book was trying to use their candy logos. This is not limited to the United States either and it's well known that Roald Dahl based the Charlie and the Chocolate factory book on the industrial espionage allegations between the UK candymakers of the time. It may be coincidental that M&Ms made this move just after Hershey's introduced their new candy-coated Kissables. I think they're feeling threatened and are looking to maximize their profits. Maybe they're looking to shift the current model of candy retailing to one more akin to soft drink manufacturer's deals with fast food chains. Sugar prices are expected to go up markedly this year, which means they'll have to reduce overhead (they're already a very efficient company), raise prices, reduce product sizes or create new marketing models. At a time when markets are opening up world-wide and people have access to more of a selection of candy from all over the globe, M&Ms could benefit from making their candy more readily available for purchase, not less. POSTED BY Cybele AT 1:07 pm Mars • United States • News • Shopping • Head to Head: Cookie Joys vs Cookies n MintHere it is, I finally have both of them at the same time: Harry London Mint Cookie Joys and Hershey's Cookies 'n' Mint Nuggets. I got the Cookie Joys from Crate and Barrel through their excellent post-Christmas sale. The Hershey's Cookies 'n' Mint were acquired at Sav-On at a lackluster post-Holiday sale (basically the nuggets were on the sale table heralding they were 50% off, but they didn't ring up that way and were put there "by mistake"). Harry London makes the Cookie Joys, but sells them under a few different names, including Botticelli Bites. They also make it in a few different formats, including the Harry London Mint Cookie Bar. A Cookie Joy is minted milk chocolate with chocolate cookie bits. The shape is a little dollop of candy, not really the most attractive or appealing candy shapes, but it gets the job done. I find they're usually two bites. The bonus in the Crate & Barrel tin is that they were individually wrapped. When I get them in a little tub at Trader Joe's (it looks like a pint of ice cream) they're loose and can go stale if not eaten quickly. A Hershey's Mint 'n' Cookies is also minted milk chocolate with chocolate cookie bits. The chocolate is rather milkier, as you can see in the color difference bewteen these two. The cookie bits are also slightly more regular, like little dots of cookies instead of rather irregular crushed cookie bits. Now that I have them side by side, I'm able to really compare the two. The Cookie Joy is smooth and not terribly milky, which I like. There are already quite a few flavors going on here, I don't need some sort of dairy taste intruding. As long as the milk is providing a creamy backdrop I'm happy. The cookie bits give it some crunch and they're a good dark, toasty flavor (they're pretty much the cookie part of an Oreo). The Hershey's has that familiar Hershey's milk chocolate tang to it. Think yogurt. It's not unpleasant, but doesn't go as well with the mint and cookies. There's a noticeable grain to the chocolate, but again, it works with the crunchy cookies. The cookie bits seem to be distributed rather unevenly, just on the top of the nugget, but since you're going to bite it the other way, it probably doesn't matter much. A Nugget could be eaten whole as well. In this Head to Head, I'm going to have to go with the Cookie Joys. The chocolate is just better and the even though they look like glossy cow pies, the name Cookie Joys is dead on perfect. They're joyful little mixes of cookies and minted chocolate. If you like the Girl Scout's Thin Mints, you may like this chocolatier version, too. There's no benefit to either in availability either. The Hershey's are Limited Edition (though they seem to return rather faithfully) and the Harry London's are only sometimes available at Trader Joe's and a seasonal item for Crate & Barrel. (Sadly, it seems they are sold out on the C&B website.) The Hershey's are usually cheaper, but the Crate and Barrel sale puts this one over the edge for me. At 28 cents per ounce for the Cookie Joys versus the 24 cents per ounce on the Nuggets, I'm willing to pay the premium (and I have a tin, too!).

Goldenberg's Peanut ChewsThese are a classic East Coast candy. Made for years by the Goldenberg candy company, they were purchased by Just Born in 2003, which has been gobbling up other Eastern small-maker candies. Just Born is best known for the Easter favorite, Marshmallow Peeps. I've always referred to these as Goldenbergs ... the one part of the old name that is not retained (I think the company is pushing the name "Chew-Ets") so now I have to call them just Peanut Chews. But the notable thing about them is that they break one of my rules of good candy. They're fake. There's no chocolate there. But what they lack in chocolate they make up for in flavor. The original Chew-Et is a molasses-based chew embedded with peanuts and then covered in a wax that resembles dark chocolate. (Okay, it's not wax, it's just not real chocolate.) The interesting part of the chew is that it's not a caramel. There's no milk in the original bar at all, so it can't be a caramel. It's just a sugary syrup that's been boiled down to soft-ball state. Maybe you could call it a "soft brittle". They're formed into fingers of candy that are placed in a tray and usually sold in a package of six or so, though I usually bought the King Sized ones. For a while I've been able to find them here in California at Rite Aid (probably because Rite Aid is based in Pennsylvania). The molasses and peanuts make a good combination of roasted, musky flavors. The dark chocolate stays out of the way and doesn't really add anything to the party (except trans fats). Having just said that the chocolate coating doesn't much matter, it seems to make more of a difference in the milk version. Molasses is a dark flavor and seems to benefit from the dark, slightly bitter mockolate. While the milk chocolate coating is more successful at replicating the feel of real chocolate, it's a little sweet, a little sticky feeling in the combo. I'm glad to see that the Chew-Ets will continue to exist, as they are rather unique. They're small and easy to share and have a flavor combination not found in any other candy bar on the market in the states. Since it's not real chocolate, they also seem to weather being in my bag better than chocolate candies, so they're a better bet as a summer candy. I wish they were made with real chocolate, but I suppose I shouldn't advocate messing around with such a good bar. Additional Reading: Check out Steve Almond's Candy Freak which has a whole chapter devoted to his visit to the Goldenberg factory (while it was still Goldenberg's) in Philadelphia. You can even read a couple of pages on Amazon if you like. Here's something interesting I learned from the book, Goldenbergs were first developed as ration bar for the Army in WWI and after the war the GIs kept buying them. Edit: I found this in Mike's Candy Wrappers, the original wrapper. UPDATE 8/1/2012: The original name of Goldenberg's Peanut Chews has been restored on the packages, and an updated but still classic looking package is back on store shelves. Related Candies

Jelly Belly in the NewsI saw this article today about Jelly Belly chairman, Herman Rowland. It's an interesting profile of the man, who is of course a little unorthodox. I've found in my reading and research that most candy folks are a little unusual in one respect or another. The saddest thing mentioned in the article though is that Rowland is now a diabetic, which must be especially difficult for a sugar candymaker (instead of one that makes chocolate which is often better tolerated by diabetics). Other interesting notes in the article is the recent announcement that Jelly Belly is opening a factory in Thailand. What's surprising about this is that the factory will make candy only for non-American venues. The Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield, CA, will continue to supply America will Jelly Bellys even though it'd be cheaper to take the factory overseas and not be subject to America's backwards domestic sugar regulations. The way Nestle is getting around the American sugar problem is they're manufacturing most of their candy in Brazil and importing it. The other announcement in the article is that Jelly Belly will be introducing new flavors at the Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco. I got to taste the newest one, Pomegranate, when I was at the factory last month, I'm not sure if that's one that's getting its new release now. (It's still not on the website.) Finally, JellyBelly.com just relaunched late last week with an all new site. The navigation is much improved over the old one which had some things that I wanted buried in submenus. But I'm a little annoyed by the height of the header graphic/menu (which means more scrolling for main content even on my big screen, but then again CandyBlog.net readers probably do a lot of scrolling, too). The other sad thing is that they have these great downloadable desktop images but nothing new for January. But the news section includes info about their new company store and they've filled out their section on visiting them at these locations. The cool thing about visiting an official Jelly Belly store? They offer their comprehensive tasting bar. Never get a Jelly Belly you don't like again.

Traffic backups at State Road 789 and Ken Thompson Parkway this weekend and Monday morning can be attributed to a damaged traffic sensor.
Darren Alfonso, public information officer for the Florida Department of Transportation's repaving project, confirmed that a damaged sensor that wasn't detecting when cars were at the light caused long lines of traffic heading north and south.
The damage occurred when the paving contractor recently tore up the road and repaved it.
Alfonso said the sensor was fixed Monday night.

NOAA creating protected areas in Southern U.S.
Posted onThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service plans to announce the final rule creating eight marine protected areas off four Southern states, according to the American Sportfishing Association.
Although the rule will establish eight MPAs for the snapper/grouper fishery, the ruling itself does not ban sportfishing altogether. Bottom fishing in the designated areas is prohibited, but trolling is permitted.
The MPAs are intended to protect a portion of the habitat of long-lived, slow-growing deepwater snapper and grouper from current fishing pressure within the proposed MPAs, while minimizing the adverse effects on the sportfishing industry, recreational anglers and the coastal communities that benefit from fishing.
There is also a provision in the rule that allows for review and lifting of the restrictions if data indicates goals have been met.
"Do we like restrictions on recreational fishing? Of course not. However, this was a deliberative and public process where all the known facts were laid on the table," ASA president and CEO Mike Nussman said in a statement.
"In this case, the facts said that restricting access to the snapper/grouper fishery in certain designated areas was in the best interests of the fisheries and the communities and industries that depend on them and we support that," he added.

Information on Our New Class of Shares
On January 29, 2014, our Board of Directors approved the issuance of the Class C dividend and has set a March 27 record date. The Class C dividend will have an April 2 issuance date, and we expect the shares to begin trading on April 3. We are excited to announce that the new Class C shares will trade under our historic stock ticker GOOG, while the Class A shares will trade under the new stock ticker GOOGL.
- March 27, 2014 – Record Date (to determine which stockholders are entitled to receive the Class C dividend)
- April 2, 2014 – Dividend Payment Date (one Class C share dividend issued for each share of existing Class A/Class B stock)
- April 3, 2014 – Anticipated First Date of Trading
Mechanics of Issuance
What ticker symbols will the stock classes have?
When the dividend is issued:
- the new Class C capital stock will trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the original symbol GOOG
- Class A common stock will trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the NEW symbol GOOGL
- Class B common stock will remain unlisted and will not be publicly traded.
How will these new shares be allocated to existing stockholders?
Each holder of Class A and Class B shares on the record date (March 27, 2014) will be entitled to receive shares of the new Class C capital stock on a one-for-one basis. For example, if an investor had 100 shares of Class A (GOOG) stock prior to the dividend issuance, he/she will have 100 shares of Class A (GOOGL) stock plus 100 shares of Class C (GOOG) stock after the dividend issuance.
If I am a retail investor, will I get any information on this split? What do I need to do?
On April 2nd, each holder of Class A and Class B shares will receive shares of the new Class C capital stock on a one-for-one basis. No action is necessary.
Impact to Google's Financial Statements
Do you expect to take any accounting charge as a result of this dividend?
We are still finalizing our accounting treatment of the dividend but we do not expect there to be a material accounting charge, if any. Any updates will be posted to this website.

Other Information
Why was French tax withheld when the Class C shares were issued on April 2, 2014 to French individual taxpayers?
Some (but not all) French banks -- which held Google shares for French individual taxpayers -- withheld tax when the Class C shares were issued because the banks misinterpreted the transaction as a taxable dividend paid in shares. Google's tax advisors believe that the Class C issuance is non-taxable in France.
Will French shareholders be entitled to a refund of the tax that was withheld?
Google shareholders who had French tax withheld on the issuance of Class C shares may seek a refund from the French bank that withheld tax. Alternatively, shareholders may seek a refund from the French tax authorities. Each shareholder should review the process and timing for such a refund with their advisor or tax office.
If shareholders in France wish to seek a refund from their bank or the French tax authorities, what legal grounds should they provide to support their refund claim?
Shareholders seeking a refund for tax withheld on the Class C distribution may reference the following French tax code sections to help clarify that the issuance of the Class C shares was not taxable income but rather an issuance of shares by reduction of retained earnings (an extract of the French tax code sections are provided below in English and original French version; the entire code sections are available on www.legifrance.gouv.fr):
- Section 112 - 7° of the French tax code, which provides that the following "is not taxable income: grant of shares as a result of incorporation of retained earnings into share capital." "Ne sont pas considérés comme revenus distribués: l'attribution d'actions ou de parts sociales opérée en conséquence de l'incorporation de réserves au capital."
- Section 121 – 1 of the French tax code, which provides that "for the application of section 120 [which considers as taxable income a list of payments made by foreign companies to their shareholders]…, the incorporation of retained earnings into the share capital does not constitute a taxable event." "Pour l'application de l'article 120, l'incorporation de réserves par une société étrangère à son capital social ne constitue pas un fait générateur de l'impôt sur le revenu."
Each shareholder should consult with their tax advisor regarding obtaining a refund.
Why was German tax withheld when the Class C shares were issued on April 2, 2014?
Most German banks withheld tax of 26.375% (without church tax) when the Class C shares were issued because they didn't have sufficient information to determine that the Class C dividend was not a taxable transaction in Germany.
Will German shareholders be entitled to a refund of the tax that was withheld?
Google has approached the relevant parties in Germany to provide them with information in support of Class C being non-taxable. If the parties agree, we expect that the tax withheld will be refunded to German shareholders. We will update this site when we have further information.
Any tax commentary included in this communication was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding tax liabilities and/or penalties. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding tax consequences of the issuance of Class C shares that apply to your particular jurisdiction and circumstances.
What is the accounting impact of the issuance of the Class C shares?
The issuance of Class C shares resulted in a reduction of retained earnings and an increase in common stock. Thus, there was no change to the net equity of Google as a result of the Class C issuance.
Where can I find information related to cost basis allocation between Class C and Class A?
Please see Form 8937 that we filed with the IRS.
Where can I find more information about the terms of the settlement related to the Class C shareholder litigation?
Please see the final stipulation of the settlement that we filed with the SEC here.

Looks like maple seedlings. Any chance you have maples in the yard? My front yard looks like this from my Norway maple (it's terribly invasive, but was planted decades ago, long before we bought the house). This year is worse than ever - probably because I didn't bother raking in the fall - just used my mower to mulch everything. |

I agree with JLem. I've got a green elm tree in my front lawn that drops those helicopter looking seeds similar to a maple and they are especially bad this year. Just continue mowing and eventually they will die out, probalby within the next month. |
Hmmm... Aren't those the same leaves the Audrey II had in Little Shop? Just sayin man... be careful. Haven't had any meteor storms out there have you ;-) ??? |

Smedley, Colonel Blooblud's faithful watchdog, accepts a package from Little America, Antarctica during the colonel's absence. Suspecting foul play, Smedley opens it and is delighted to find Chilly Willy, a real live penguin.
While Smedley's getting Chilly a sardine to eat, Chilly steals the colonel's prize trophy- a stuffed marlin. Horrified to find Chilly putting the marlin through a meat grinder, Smedley glues it back together piece by piece. Carrying the marlin in his arms, Smedley slips on the floor, freshly waxes for this purpose by Chilly.
The marlin comes apart as a result of the fall, and Chilly fools Smedley several times in different guises until Smedley becomes disgusted and mails Chilly back to Little America. Returning the much-glued marlin to its place over the mantle, Smedley gets a package in the mail from Chilly in which he discovers the marlin's sword and tail just as the colonel returns. We iris out on Smedley posing as the marlin on the wall over the mantle.

provide me "bad" matchmaking game records
If you have a game where you feel that the players on your team are especially incompetent (or the reverse), please let me know who was in the game or provide a screenshot of the score screen.
I'm especially interested if you are over level 6 and felt you were matched with total newbs. |
Let me be first to thank you for making this thread and generally being a great staff.
groundfloor on epic 20 page thread
I'm glad someone is paying attention to this, I don't have any screenies saved atm, but I'll play a few games tonight and something will almost certainly pop up.
I haven't had a problem in a while with getting people who felt like first timers. I've been stuck with people who seemed like they played alot and still sucked though.
I will be doing this. Ive had people in-game that didnt know cardmasters ulti was a global slow and reveal.
Did you want us to post the results in this topic or...?
Go set your ELO score to about 1200 and just start Qing solo or pick of a group out of Looking For Group Chat. Youll have all the screenies you need in 3 or 4 games.
pretty sure he wants you to email them to him.
Reserved for later on (I have screenies laying around somewhere)

Donna will find herself in a completely new situation - to be the team leader
A lot of pressure on young shoulders, that's for sure, but it could actually do a lot of good for her confidence as well. Yes, Jurak would be a good replacement considering she is not defending any major points until later in the month and would be an amazing help for doubles. Savic is probably out of the question cause she's already in Australia getting ready for tournaments and to cancel all that off and come to Israel would be asking for a lot. Vrljic wouldn't be of much help ATM due to her recent (in)activity and questionable form.

You mean those thread-like things growing out of the soil? Those are runners setting out to find suitable places to establish new plants. I have ferns that do that too. It can be a nuisance in the garden. If you mean those 'curls' on the ends of the fronds, that's the normal way for young fronds to unfurl. It's called a crozier, after that staff-like thing bishops carry around. That's one of the defining things with most ferns. |

Thank you. Yes the base and runners look kind of yellow but I looked around and I guess it's normal? I ran into the curls topic too I'm so silly I never noticed them before. |

NY MLB: Yankees and Mets, a recap of the latest games
How are Yankees and Mets, the two New York teams doing this season? Let's do a brief recap of the latest games played by the two teams.
New York Yankees leading
The New York Yankees are playing the second-best ball in the American League at 15-11, and are still leading the AL East by two games. So far, 2014 has been a better year for the team than 2013, although the team's lineup is definitely missing a notable player, Robinson Cano. In fact, Cano's decision to leave the Yankees to join Seattle is still a hot topic for the team. Especially after Cano's first visit to the Bronx as an opposing player Tuesday night (April 29th) at the Yankee Stadium, when the Mariners beat the Yankees 6-3.
Robison Cano was replaced by Brian Roberts whose performance was not impressive. Cano, on the contrary, was able to drive in the Mariners' first run of the night with a groundout and stole a base that allowed him to score on Cole Gillespie's seventh-inning single.
It was clear that Cano still has some good years left in him, despite being a 31-year-old player, and the Yanks could have kept him on their side a few years more, as he certainly qualifies as an excellent player.
A part from Cano being booed from the crowd at the Yankee Stadium, Tuesday's match was also hit by a couple of injuries, Pineda's being the most serious one. The starting pitcher is going to serve a much longer suspension from the Yankee's rotation than the 10-day one obtained for using pine tar in a game against the Red Sox. In fact, Pineda is probably going to miss three-to-four weeks after medical tests and an examination showed a Grade I strain of the Teres Major muscle below his right shoulder. The pitcher pulled himself out of a simulated game in Tampa, Fla., on Tuesday, complaining of soreness in a back muscle on his pitching side.
Even after his 10-day suspension and if he's cleared to begin a rehab assignment, Michael Pineda will not be able to return on the MLB's scenes for a while.
Center fielder Jacob Ellsbury, who leads Yankees regulars with a .312 batting average and .369 on-base percentage, and is second on the team with 11 RBIs, might miss two games after his minor injury to his left hand on Tuesday. The tests came back good so it looks like he's only suffering a sore hand without any structural damage.
New York Mets starting pitcher Niese's performance vs. Phillies
Niese's stellar pitching was definitely one of the highlights of Tuesday's match which saw New York Mets beating the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
He delivered seven strong innings, leading the Mets to a 6-1 win over the Phillies that moved them four games over .500 for the first time since July 14, 2012.
Despite the weather, the steady rain and winds gusting upwards of 20 miles per hour, Niese did an excellent performance keeping the Phillies off balance with his curveballs and cutters.
Very well-done for Ruben Tejada too, as he doubled and had two RBIs for the Mets, who chased Cole Hamels in the fifth and have won seven of nine, and for Mets' Daniel Murphy who hit a RBI single in the third inning of Tuesday's game.

>> See the full best of Fairfax guide here.
We've often been tempted to bypass dinner and go straight for the warm chocolate waffle with a scoop of house-made vanilla ice cream. But the thought of pecan-crusted trout with lemony arugula, jumbo lump crabcakes, or hickory smoked rib eye with a loaded baked potato always makes us reconsider. One of the first of the Great American Restaurants (Carlyle, Sweetwater Tavern, Jackson's are among the others), Artie's still draws crowds with plates big enough for two, perky service, and updated American cooking. Reservations are limited, but a call-ahead policy makes it easier for big parties.
3260 Old Lee Hwy.; 703-273-7600. Entrées $9 to $30.
The Auld Shebeen
This wood-paneled pub is a lively spot to while away an afternoon or evening. The kitchen turns out standard bar food until you get to the Irish plates: a shepherd's pie of prime beef with a creamy mashed-potato crust; crisp beer-batter fish and chips; flavorful Guinness beef stew; and a burger finished with Cahill Irish Stout cheese. Sunday afternoon is open-jam day, which means you're likely to find a dozen Irish-music enthusiasts playing soulful ballads and lively jigs. On Friday and Saturday night, tunes are left to professionals, with Irish bands performing from 7 to 9:30. The lower-level bar has music nearly every night into the wee hours.
3971 Chain Bridge Rd.; 703-293-9600. Entrées $9.95 to $19.95.
Blue Ocean
Koji Terano, sushi chef at DC's much-lauded Sushi-Ko and a Fairfax resident, brings his family to this traditional Japanese-owned eatery. Besides expertly cut and rolled sushi—we like the medium fatty tuna and plump botan shrimp—there's a lengthy menu of tasty small plates such as fried baby octopus, wasabi shu mai, and tsukune, a skewered teriyaki chicken ball. Beyond that are soba-noodle bowls, tempura, hot pots, and other familiar picks. Intrepid eaters will want to check out the multi-course kaiseki dinners, which should be arranged in advance and are testimony to how food can transport you.
9440 Main St.; 703-425-7555. Rolls $2.75 to $10.95; entrées $10.95 to $24.95.
Bollywood Bistro
The staff doesn't break out in song, but there are celluloid shots of Bollywood stars on the burnt-orange walls. And in an area where there's no shortage of Indian restaurants, Bollywood Bistro stands out with a creative spin on traditional fare. Look for raita made with tangy olives as well as offbeat chutneys such as pomegranate guacamole. Among the best starters: mango aam palak chaat—a cool, crunchy salad of green mango, flash-fried spinach, and spicy tamarind—and shrimp glazed with wine and honey. Savory chunks of charred goat join the usual suspects from the tandoor, while Malabari Chicken is a heady brew of coconut and curry leaves. Add to that a small but serious wine list and you have a restaurant as easy to warm to as a Bollywood extravaganza.
3955 Chain Bridge Rd.; 703-273-0031. Entrées $8 to $15.95.
Coastal Flats
Craving the crab-and-rock-shrimp fritters at Coastal Flats but don't want to brave Tysons Corner crowds? Check out the Fairfax outpost. This yellow clapboard beach house has an identical menu and a similar look—it also has a roomy patio out back. Plates to go for include fat crabcakes, fried salt-and-pepper shrimp on a grilled bun, and steamed sea bass with soy sauce. As at Artie's—owned by the same restaurant group—reservations are limited, but you can call ahead to put your name on the waiting list.
11901 Grand Commons Ave., 571-522-6300. Entrées $12 to $24.

text: I recently joined a new gym after over a four month hiatus from my previous gym and am still a little out of the loop. At my old gym I was able to go 35 minutes on the elliptical and 60 minutes on the treadmill. Things have changed.. lol. This morning while on the elliptical, ten minutes in and I was ready to throw in the towel.. I kept telling myself.. just go fifteen and you'll be okay. Well.. once I got to fifteen minutes I got into watching Regis and Kelly and happened to look down and saw I was at 17 minutes. I could have stopped there but I told myself, "What's three more minutes??" So, I pushed myself to get to 20 minutes. It felt good getting through that workout though there was no way I could have went 30.. not today anyway. I just wondered what little things some of you tell yourself to push yourself that extra mile, or that extra ten minutes to get you through.
