Coffee Crisp now in the USA!If there were ever a case study for how the internet and fan passion can change marketing policy of a corporation, it has to be Coffee Crisp. Made by Nestle, the Coffee Crisp is a wafer bar with a coffee flavored cream and chocolate-like coating. They've been very popular in Canada for years, but for some reason they were never introduced in the United States. For at least five years a web petition/email/phone campaign was circulating to get them in the States and those efforts have finally come to fruition. At first Nestle responded by allowing American stores order the Coffee Crisp to carry in their stores, but they made no real effort to advertise or give any special deals (as is very common with other candies). Instead Coffee Crisp were often seen in stores near the Canadian border, large urban markets and on internet stores that catered to the obsessed. If you want to know where to find your own, check out the fan site called CoffeeCrisp.org - they have a special page called Coffee Crisp Sightings. I still haven't seen them anywhere (including the places where I used to see them before their official introduction). You can also find info on their official website: Nestle-coffeecrisp.com The packaging for the bar was changed a little in the past year (as was much of Nestle's product line) but the candy bars you'll find here are still made in Canada. I'd hoped that they'd change the recipe a little bit to get rid of the hydrogenated oils ... the bar carries 1.5 grams of trans fats. Some purists probably celebrate them sticking to tradition. Previous coverage about the petition here and I reviewed the Coffee Crisp last year (a bar I found at a gourmet market ... I wasn't really that fond of it). Tuesday, August 15, 2006
Wonka Sour NerdsNerds have been around since the early eighties and I've never tried them. I was an early member of the Wonka fan club (you had to send in proofs of purchase) and I've never tried them. There's actually a pretty long list of very common candy items that I've never tried, but this was one I decided to tick off my list. Nerds are little panned crunchy and sour candies. They're made by taking a little crystal of sugar and then tumbling them with successive layers of sour coating, then a coat of color. Nerds are irregular with some as small as a sesame seed and others as large as a dried pea. The unique selling proposition with Nerds is that they come in packages with two flavors in them and a separate dispensing opening. The flavor combo that got me off my bum to try them was Lightning Lemon/Amped Apple. What I found out is that I'm not really missing anything by not eating Nerds. The texture is good and the consistent crunchiness has a lot to recommend it, however, there's really no flavor there. The distinction between the apple and lemon is rather scant. They're both tart but little else. As for the SOUR! emblazoned on the box, well, they were sour, but not in all caps. I can see these being very useful for a decorative element for cupcakes, but I can't see myself buying them again. I know they have their fans, but I think I'm going to stick with Tart 'n' Tiny. For the record, I'm not an ice-chewer, so maybe that's who these are marketed for. I have actually purchased the new Nerds Rope twice, but I haven't actually eaten them (I think I gave one away in one of the contests), but I suspect they're better in combination with something else like a gummi. (While I'm on the subject of decorating with candy, check out Candy Addict's Swimming Pool Cake ... if he decided to make an aquarium instead, this would make great colored gravel.)

Dark RaisinetsI got to try the Dark Chocolate Raisinets at the All Candy Expo a couple of months ago and I was pretty underwhelmed. They handed them out in little sample cups, so there was no packaging to look at and after eating two sample cups I asked if they were the new dark ones, because they honestly didn't taste that way. But these were on sale so I decided to give the retail product another try. The new Dark Raisinets herald their healthiness on the package as a "natural source of antioxidants from fruit & dark chocolate" as well as "30% less fat than the leading chocolate brands." I've got no complaints with either claim, although comparing Raisinets to a Snickers or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups seems rather like apples to chocolate covered oranges. My other complaint is that they say it's Dark Chocolate when really it's just darker milk chocolate. The ingredients for the coating go like this: Sugar, Chocolate, Cocoa Butter, Milkfat, Soy Lecithin, Nonfat Milk, Lactose, Vanillin, Natural Flavor. But really, who cares? The big questions are, do they taste any different than the regular Raisinets and do they taste good? They're actually rather nice. The raisins are plump and often big. The chocolate coating is a little grainy and very sweet but provides a nice counterpoint to the tart chewiness of the raisins. I've been spoiled by Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Covered Raisins for a long time which are wonderfully rich and complex and these are far from rivaling those. However, as a single serving pack that's easy to find anywhere, I'd pick these up as a healthier alternative to a full on candy bar. There's still 22% of your daily saturated fat intake in here including 5 mg of cholesterol (really, why'd they have to go and do that?), but also 2 grams of fiber and 2 grams of protein. And all those antioxidants, whatever they are. A little history about Raisinets, Goobers and SnoCaps. All three were originally made by the Blumenthal Chocolate Company. Goobers were introduced first, then Raisins and finally SnoCaps. All were popular movie candy and for a long time the only place I could find them was at the concession counter. Nestle bought Blumenthal in 1984 and the candies gained wider distribution in a variety of packages with some slight changes in their recipes. Raisinets are a Kosher (OU D) product. Related Candies

Mini Chewy SpreeI've been a fan of Sprees since they first came out. They're the more attractive out-of-town cousin of the SweeTart (who is of course your mousy best friend). They're tasty and drop dead gorgeous when spread out on your desk in neat rows of colors like some sort of stereo equalizer display. Chewy Sprees happened onto the scene a while back, but I never paid much attention to them. But then I got a hold of these Mini Chewy Spree. They come in these cool little plastic packages that look kind of like popsicles and have a little flip top. The color array is exactly the same as their larger, harder counterparts. Red is cherry, Yellow is lemon, Purple is grape, Orange is orange and Green is now apple (though it used to be lime back in the day). Chewy Spree are, well, chewy. The outside of them is lightly flavored and completely sweet. But there's no candy shell to it, just an inside that's soft and chewy. They're actually easily crushed with your fingers, like M&Ms are. But they're lacking the "Kick in the Mouth" that the package heralds. (It says the same for the rolls of regular hard Spree.) They're just not as sour, not as flavorful. They're not bad, they're just ... I dunno, shallow. As cool as the plastic tube they come in (that says "flip your lid!"), I feel a little bad about the overpackaging. But to allay my guilt about that, I looked around on the Nestle website and they have crafts that you can do with the empties (a Rain Gauge). At the moment I've got one filled with band-aids and alcohol wipes as a little first aid kit. You could store little things in there too, or refill with bulk candies. I think you also might be able to make your own popsicles with them, too. But as the price difference goes, I think I'll stick with the regular roll of Sprees and their minimal packaging and true "kick in the mouth" taste.

Head to Head: Mentos Sours & SweeTarts ShockersWhen I came up with the idea to do this head to head comparison, it was because of the most obvious similarities between SweeTarts Shockers and Mentos Sours. They're both rolls, they're both sour and they're both chewy pastilles. But they have completely different flavor mixes (the only flavor in common is green apple), different shapes and rather different takes on what a sour chew should be. Mentos has always been known for intense chewy mints, so it seems only natural that they'd develop Mentos Sours. The package is a little odd because it says "The Chewy Mint" above the Mentos logo ... but these are not mint flavored. I guess "mint" has become a kind of candy, not a flavor. Mentos Sours come in three flavors: Watermelon, Green Apple and Lemon. The colors are beautiful, and if they weren't candy you'd want to string them into a chunky beaded bracelet. The finish on them is matte and not quite a continuous color. They don't smell like much. They're soft and chewy, the shell is a tad bit waxy only lightly sweet. Upon biting into them the flavor erupts. Green Apple: typical fresh sour flavor. Not too tart. Watermelon: at first it's sweet, like a cotton candy flavor with some floral overtones, then it kicks into sour gear. This is a really nice flavor, not too chemical tasting. Lemon: immediately it has a good zesty essence to it and then the sour follows quickly behind to combine into the protype of lemony goodness. Basically, they're nice without being radically toxic feeling on the tongue. There's a strange waxy thing that develops at the end of the chew though. I'm not sure if it's the remnants of the "glazing agents" on the shell, but it's an odd, undissolveable substance on my teeth that tastes only vaguely like the chew. Mentos Sour are made in Brazil. (Note: the packaging I have may not be the way you see it in the stores - the website shows them in little reclosable boxes.) Green Apple: intense and chemically flavored, it dissolves away into a sweet grit pretty quickly. Orange: oh, this is the best! There's an immediate blast of blisteringly sour tangerine on the tongue. Not as long lasting in the chew department as the Mentos. Grape: it's like a Purple Pixy Stix made chewy. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. (TMI Alert - for some reason the grape ones make me burp.) Cherry: the sour outside tastes like a very cherry candy, much like the SweeTarts, but with a stronger flavor instead of just more sour. Blue Raspberry: an immediate sour hit is followed by some fragrant notes that remind me of cotton candy and violets. All of the Shockers are intensely sour on the tongue from the moment you place them in your mouth but then mellow out to have a pleasant cooling sensation towards the end, but the chew doesn't last long before they descend into sugary grit. As all round chews, the Mentos Sours are middle of the road - they're exceptionally pleasant and can be shared with adults who might ordinarily be afraid of something called "sour". The SweeTarts Shockers, on the other hand, are a blast but you can't keep eating them if you'd like to preserve the tasting functions of your tongue. The packages hold slight different masses - SweeTarts Shockers clock in at 1.65 ounces (which the label says is three servings) and Mentos Sours are 1.32 ounces (which the label says is 14 servings ... one Mentos is a serving). Both contain hydrogenated oils, but not enough to warrant any fat content on the nutrition label. Personally, I love the Shockers, if only for the intense orange ones. But the Mentos Sours have a much longer, consistent chew, especially the full flavor of the lemon ones, and I would probably pick them up in a pinch.

Baci BarOne of my favorite treats we'd get in our Christmas Stocking were Baci. If you've never had this little Italian chocolate, you're missing something. It's a hazelnut nougatine with chopped nuts topped with a whole hazelnut and covered in a thin shell of rich dark chocolate. They're wrapped in silver foil with blue printing and wrapped around the chocolate is a little piece of glassine with a saying about love or kisses in four languages, after all, baci means kiss in Italian. Instead of individual morsels, the Baci Bar is a thick semisweet chocolate bar with domed sections filled with a mix of chocolate, hazelnut paste and crushed hazelnuts. Holy moly, it's good. Seriously good. The chocolate is rich and buttery with a slight bitter and dry hit to it - which offsets the super-sweet and nutty, thick filling. The little bits of nuts give it a wonderful crispy crunch. There wasn't a bad nut bit in the bunch. If there's anything at all wrong with it, it's that it's kind of soft. It's getting warm here in Los Angeles, and eating a bar like this mid-day is just plain messy. No matter, I'm having the rest of it for breakfast ... see, I'm flexible! I miss the whole hazelnut you get the with traditional Baci, but the chocolate ratio here is amped up a little, which I like just as well. Now that I've raved about this bar, I fear I will never have another one. I've looked around on the Perugina/Nestle site and find no reference to this bar. It was generously transported directly from Italy to me by uber-blogger, JozJozJoz. Maybe if you're in a European airport you'll spy one. Perugina is an Italian company, started in the 20s but was bought out by Nestle in 1985, which explains their wider distribution in the United States late in the last century.

Giant Pixy StixThis isn't so much a review as a rewind. I've had Pixy Stix plenty of times before. I've been eating them for so long I don't even remember when I first tried them. My earliest memory of the Giant Pixy Stix was at Little Buffalo State Park in Pennsylvania. We went up there for the day for swimming and general summer amusement with another family who lived in the area. They had an awesome array of swimming pools. At some point we were given quarters and allowed to go to the snack bar where I bought the most amazing thing I'd ever seen - a Pixy Stix that might have been as tall as me (I was probably about six at the time and a tiny thing at that). Okay, maybe it wasn't that big, but it seemed huge to me. It was grape. It seems that Giant Pixy Stix are sold at swimming pool snack bars, because later when we moved back to Mechanicsburg, we had summer passes at the public pool and they had them there too. There's something about chlorine that makes me crave fake grape and pure sugar. Here's a little history of the Pixy Stix: Pixy Stix used to be made by Sunline which started in 1952 in St. Louis, Missouri. The Pixy Stix started out as an accident really, with kids driving the development of the product. Originally it was a drink mix in the late 30s, sold as Frutola, but J. Fish Smith found that kids were eating the sweet & sour powder right from the package. He shifted the name to Fruzola and added a spoon. Later it was repackaged with a dipping candy stick as Lik-m-Aid and also sold in little straws ... Pixy Stix. It wasn't until parents complained about the grainy, sticky powder that Sunline came up with a compressed tablet form, the SweeTart in 1963. Sunline was sold to Roundtree Mackintosh of the UK, which was then bought by Nestle. Nestle maintained the Sunline brand for a while and only recently has rolled the SweeTarts, Pixy Stix and Lik-m-Aid into the Wonka brand, which already had a strong line of sugar candy, such as Tart 'n Tiny, Nerds and Runts. So, you're wondering about the Giant Pixy Stix? I did my due-diligence research and can tell you that a Giant Pixy Stix has slightly more than three tablespoons of candy powder in it which weighs in at one ounce. The Giant Pixy Stix are approximately 21 inches tall. (They might have been taller when I was a kid.) The most frustrating thing about them is that they're hard to open. The traditional Pixy Stix is a paper straw and can be torn open, or unfolded. The Giant Pixy Stix are thick, flexible plastic and cannot be torn. I recall at the pool that they would snip it open for me, but there were times that I ended up just gnawing off the top. Giant Pixy Stix currently come in four flavors: grape, Maui punch, cherry, and orange. The regular Pixy Stix also come in green apple (which used to be lime but was changed in 2001). The primary ingredient in Pixy Stix, not surprisingly, is dextrose. Dextrose is just a fancy way of saying glucose, which is a mono-saccharide. Dextrose is generally made from vegetable starches (corn syrup). Sucrose is what's makes up cane and beet sugar - it's a di-saccharide (it's made up of two molecules - one of fructose and one of glucose). It has a slightly different mouth feel. Some folks can actually tell the difference between fructose, dextrose and sucrose. Often you can feel the "cool" feeling of dextrose on the tongue. So how do they taste? Well, if you've never had a Pixy Stix (and I met someone on Tuesday night who hadn't) it's rather like eating unprepared Jell-O or drink mix. It's sweet and cool on the tongue, with a tart bite and some flaky, grainy bits that seem to linger a little longer. There's not much flavor, but enough to be able to tell the difference, especially if you inhale the dust (not like snorting it, you know what I mean). I don't eat Pixy Stix very often anymore; because of that dextrose thing they do go straight into the bloodstream and can cause pretty severe blood sugar crashes on an empty stomach to those of us who are sensitive to such things. But last night I responsibly had a nice, high protein dinner, and then ate my three tablespoons of Pixy dust out of the measuring cup. Yes, I just stuck my tongue in there. Yes, eventually my tongue had acid burns, but I kept eating. Yes, eventually I got a rather sour stomach, but I kept eating. I love my Pixy Stix. It's a good thing I don't buy them that often. In the future, I think I'll stick to the regular paper straw ones. A little easier on the portion control. But I loved it when Pixy Stix were bigger than life.

100 Grand DarkIt was a dark and stormy bar ... the 100 Grand (or $100,000 Bar as it was originally known) was always a favorite of mine. The smooth and chewy caramel with the crisped rice and sweet milk chocolate was such a good combo. I'm also a big fan of two small size bars packaged together. It makes it easy to share, easy to keep some for later; or you can eat them both at the same time. It's flexible. The 100 Grand Dark is just semi sweet chocolate instead of milk. It actually looks a little different than the regular bar, besides the color of the coat, the crunchies seem smaller. Take a look at this shot of a regular 100 Grand. Joanna at SugarSavvy had the first review I saw. The less sweet bite of the dark chocolate really helps to highlight the salty/chewy caramel. The crispies are a nice texturizing element here. I didn't really want to like this bar and didn't think that I did, but I ate it ... I mean gobbled it up. I took the picture and then instantly finished off that piece with the bite out of it. But usually I save the second half for when I am writing up the post ... not so here. I had lunch yesterday and then I ate it. I tried to linger over it like I do with the upscale chocolates, but instead I just enjoyed it on the purest level: without words. I have nothing but good feelings about my consumption of this bar and I'm a little disappointed it's not a new addition to the line. And I want another one. It's the kick that the 100 Grand has needed all along. Now watch them let it fade into obscurity. A last note, I'm a little irritated that they use High Fructose Corn Sweetener in there instead of sugar, but it's pretty far down on the list of ingredients, so it might not be much more than a dash of it. See other review on the Limited Edition 100 Grand with Peanuts.

Keeper remains at Yeovil
Wayne Hennessey's loan spell with Yeovil has been extended until October 26.
The Welsh international keeper's initial month-long stay had been due to expire after tomorrow's game with Queens Park Rangers, but it has now been extended allowing him to enjoy a further sustained run at Sky Bet Championship level.
Hennessey, who had been out for more than 18 months with a twice damaged cruciate ligament, has made five appearances for the Glovers so far.
"We have agreed with Yeovil that Wayne's loan will be extended until the 26th of October," said Wolves Head of Football Development and Recruitment Kevin Thelwell.
"I spoke to Gary Johnson yesterday and he has been really pleased with how Wayne has been performing and wanted to extend the loan period.
"That's good news for all of us and particularly Wayne because he is back playing and getting into great shape at a good level.
"He has had no issues at all from his previous injury and is getting some games in and looking in good form."
Carl Ikeme has also been in good form in Wolves goal with Aaron McCarey pushing him for the spot and also impressing in his Johnstone's Paint Trophy start, hence the decision to allow Hennessey out to make a senior comeback.

Vitamin E, beta-carotene no help for heart disease, cancer
WASHINGTON (AFP) - In yet another blow to the US$28 billion (S$35 billion) vitamin industry, a US task force on Monday urged against taking Vitamin E and beta-carotene to ward off heart disease or cancer.
The latest guidelines from the US Preventive Services Task Force update the 2003 edition by adding Vitamin E and beta-carotene, a supplement that was already known to be ineffective at preventing the two most fatal diseases in America.
The findings are based on a systematic review of scientific studies which found that Vitamin E does not help - and that beta-carotene supplements could actually do more harm than good.
"Beta-carotene can be harmful because it increases the risk of lung cancer in people who are already at increased risk for the disease," said Task Force co-chair Michael LeFevre.

Guided By Voices Calling Zero Lyrics

Scary, did the sun come out t'day?
Blasted, I did not recall the program
Honey, did the weekend make you ill?
Hush Margarita, make it go away
Calling Zero
I love a girl named Colleen
But she loves a bouncer six feet ten
And that's a mistake 'cus he's Colleen's hero
This is a song called:

CHICAGO – If you can remember the 1990s outside of childhood, you are in the glow of middle age, so congratulations. The Brown Paper Box Co. theater ensemble takes us back to those thrilling days of yesteryear with "Spike Heels," a relationship comedy centering on the co-mingling antics of two couples, with a slight nod toward George Bernard Shaw and the play "Pygmalion" (or its musical counterpart, "My Fair Lady").

Blu-Ray Review: Tyler Perry's 'For Colored Girls' Deserves Another Look
Submitted by BrianTT on February 14, 2011 - 9:37amCHICAGO – Tyler Perry must have a bit of internal conflict. On one hand, he gets critically slammed for films that display little creative effort at all like "Madea Goes to Jail" or "Why Did I Get Married Too?" but those movies make money. Then he tries to do something clearly considered artistic with his adaptation of Ntozake Shange's choreopoem "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf," now truncated to simply "For Colored Girls" and recently available on Blu-ray and DVD, and it makes less than most of the films he's directed.
Black Eyed Peas End the Stretch of Classic Rock Super Bowl Halftimes
Submitted by HollywoodChicago.com on December 20, 2010 - 4:56pmCHICAGO – We all know the Super Bowl is all about predictions. Just as it's about to happen in 2011, many handicappers have already gotten one wrong. The Super Bowl halftime show has been a classic rock lover's scene over the last half decade. While many expected the same to continue in early 2011, the organizers have thrown us a curveball.
Film Review: Cluttered, Melodramatic 'For Colored Girls' Never Comes Together
Submitted by BrianTT on November 5, 2010 - 8:24amRating: 2.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Ntozake Shange's choreopoem "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf" was a landmark event in 1974, giving voice to a segment of society rarely seen on the stage. It took 34 years for a filmmaker to tackle this remarkable work in film form and Tyler Perry's "For Colored Girls" retains some of the inherent power of it source and features some strong performances in the process but never finds the narrative cohesion needed to translate it to modern movie audiences.
Slideshow: 19-Image Gallery of 'For Colored Girls' Starring Janet Jackson, Thandie Newton
Submitted by BrianTT on November 3, 2010 - 5:13pmCHICAGO – This 19-image slideshow contains all of the official press images for the highly-anticipated "For Colored Girls," starring Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine, Michael Ealy, Kimberly Elise, Omari Hardwick, Hill Harper, Thandie Newton, Phylicia Rashad, Anika Noni Rose, Tessa Thompson, Kerry Washington, and Whoopi Goldberg. The film was written and directed by Tyler Perry. It will be released on November 5th, 2010.
Interview: Thandie Newton on the Passion of 'For Colored Girls'
Submitted by PatrickMcD on November 3, 2010 - 11:19amCHICAGO – The expansive and intuitive prose poetry of Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf" comes to life in Tyler Perry's film adaptation "For Colored Girls." Thandie Newton portrays Tangie (color Orange) and saturates the character with a precise truth.
Blu-Ray Review: 'Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too?'
Submitted by BrianTT on September 9, 2010 - 12:42pmCHICAGO – Tyler Perry's films have been steadily improving but the ones that work still rely heavily on their leading ladies – for example, Taraji P. Henson in "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" and Angela Bassett in "Meet the Browns." The quartet of women in "Why Did I Get Married Too?" can't elevate the substandard writing and cheap cliche in the same way and the dramedy ends up one of Perry's worst in years.

Ordered a no-name 550mAh battery off E-bay and I figured it would be junk. I put four flights on it today and the headspeed is as high as ever. Just ran a 7.5 min flight on it and only burned 363mAh for a grand discharge of 66%. Comfortably well above 80% max discharge. The moderate/easy flight consisted of indoor hovering, forward flight and lots of "energetic" pitch pumps. The pitch pumps were fun with all that power because the ceiling came up FAST.
I figure I can get a solid 5.5-6 min of aerobatic flying outside. It will be nice to have "real" flight times with this little heli for once. 3-3.5 min on Hyperion 240s just wasn't enough since the brushless conversion. Just ordered three more. Not bad at $6.99 each and pre-configured for the mCP X. Just hope they have a life somewhat similar to the Hyperions and don't burn out fast, but we'll see... |
Nov 20, 2011, 08:58 PM | |
Thanks to everyone with helping with my cylic drift. Like i said it's only bad towards the end of the flight which is very odd. Dylan I haven't had time to read the link you sent I'm going to straighten my pushrods and then take a look. I'm totally new at setting up CP heads so this is stressful for me. I know when it started though, when I was flying and the damn rx came unplugged and it fell from so high up. I'm ordering new pushrods, main hub, and I have the MH swash that will be here tomorrow. I'm hoping this will help my situation along with adjusting 0 degrees at center stick. BUT i'll have to eyeball it because I don't have a pitch gauge or anything :-(
As for the dx6i settings give me a second there and I'll send them although they aren't far from stock other than some expo and the 93% pitch travel + / - |

All you have to do is set the zero, hover pitch at 3/4 stick or so and as max pitch as you think you want to run without bogging the head too much. Unlike larger helis, the mCP X is more of a "feel" thing versus setting actual pitch numbers on a gauge. |

I'm so bummed after reading that thread... It seems they are reporting the exact same issue as me. UNFORTUNENTLY there was NO solution.......... Although I can handle the trim issues I wish I didn't have too.. I'm suprised I haven't heard of this until now BOO! |

Crackdown 2 (Xbox 360) review"The Xbox 360 has been home to many new and interesting IPs, most of which I've enjoyed, like Condemned, Gears of War, and BioShock. These titles incorporated play mechanics that made them fun experiences, and, for two of the games, showed potential in what could have been great, long-running series. Then the sequels came out, and they were the exact opposite of what I hoped for. In Condemned 2's case, it was because it strayed away from the first's spooky atmosphere and real sense of surviving h..." |

Letter to the editor: 'Disturbing trends' in Kansas
Dear editor,
I was not born in Kansas, but have chosen to live here for more than a decade because of the good people and quality of life.
Unfortunately, I see some disturbing trends in my adopted state. Thanks largely to a misguided crusade against income taxes, the state now comes up millions of dollars short in revenue each month. Both Moody's and Standard and Poor have downgraded the state's credit rating.
However, my greatest concern is an erosion in the quality of education. School districts are financially strapped, leaning heavily on local property taxes and new fees to make ends meet. Parents I know say their children's classroom sizes have grown considerably. And, school districts are now allowed to hire people without an education degree to teach certain subjects. This is not right.
Historically, education has been a high priority in Kansas, and that must never change. This shared value transcends our differences and makes our state stronger.
Kansas needs a new direction, and that is why I am voting for Paul Davis for governor. I ask Kansas voters to cast their ballot and choose candidates who will preserve and restore the quality of education our children deserve.
Marge Gasnick
Kansas City, Kan.

Astro Sings for Survival
Around the Web
I understand where Astro is coming from. He did the best perfomance out of everybody on 11/16/11 and then come to find out everyone let him down. He goes through alot, he has to go to school, find the perfect hook and beat and write his own lyrics. Then he has to practice all in a limited time of days. Everyone else are givin lyrics and a beat and all they have to do is practice them, so absolutely understand where Astro is coming from.

Lovely home with beautiful views
Our trip to Maine was one of the best vacations we have taken, hands down. This rental property was a big reason why! We found the house perfect for our family (only three of us) and our dog. The views of the water are simply amazing. It never looked the same twice, the light or tides would change and we would be drawn to just be by the water. Our teenager and dog explored every nook and cranny of the rocky beach. There is so much to do and see, near the home and a short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia.
Now the house itself is fantastic. It is comfortable and cozy. The pictures do not do it justice. The windows are wonderful, the kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook in, and there are so many little things that were a nice touch. The property was clean and we did have an issue with the hot water that was repaired immediately. The outside landscaping was lovely.
We loved the nearby community, Thurstons for lobster and we loved Beech Hill Farm, where we found a variety of local, organic and sustainable produce!
Bar Harbor is a drive but the quiet nature of the location of this house is worth it. And there are several trails and activities that are closer, just check out Acadia's trail maps. If your looking for that Maine experience that you think you only read about in books, check this home out! Loved it!
Property lovely, well maintained and secluded.
I keep returning to this rental as it feels like a home away from home. The location is outstanding, with access to views of the water and sunsets. The listing description is accurate and the amenities are more than advertised. The house is exceptionally well organized and maintained. Walk in and you are home.The house is outfitted with all your needs from bedding to binoculars. The kitchen has everything you have at home including all dishes, wraps, seasonings, pots and pans. Even a lobster pot. Bring nothing, just replace what you use. Everything is well taken care of, clean and comfortable. Close to all activities in the area. Local hikes/walks, rocky beaches etc. Allows you to enjoy the Acadia experience but you set your own pace. Enjoy!!

Those Magical and Mysterious Learning Moments
I've been reading some old issues of The Teaching Professor newsletter and ran across a lovely piece by William Reinsmith on learning moments. He's writing about those times when students get it, when something turns the lights on and they glow with understanding. It may be a moment when they finally figure out how to do so something—a long elusive skill or a solution to a problem. Other times it's a moment of insight, often a possibility or explanation that had never crossed their minds, or a set of ideas that come together and create a new perspective on a familiar issue.
An Effective Learning Environment is a Shared Responsibility
Whether it's a student who is texting during class, an online student who makes minimal comments to the discussion board, or a teacher who marches nonstop through mountains of material, the learning environment is defined by a combination of individual behaviors, and everybody contributes to what that environment becomes.
Creating Learning Environments that Help Students Stretch and Grow as Learners
The March 12, 2014 post raised issues about those students who really don't want to work with others in groups … "lone wolves" as they're called in the literature. Your responses raised a number of issues. I thought it might be worth exploring some of them a bit further.
Many of the comments defended the lone wolves, pointing out that their good academic performance could be compromised by having to work in a group. Did anyone comment about those social learners (whose existence is also well documented in the research) who do well working in groups? We require those students to spend time listening and learning alone, experiences that potentially compromise their academic performance.
Building Rapport with Students by Sharing a Piece of Yourself
Teaching at a historically black university can have its obstacles; especially when you are not African American. One of the main obstacles for me was how I was viewed by the students — I often felt that students did not or could not relate to me. Standing before them, I did not have the appearance of one who has ever encountered any difficulties in my lifetime or career. As a result, my students did not find me very approachable in spite of the fact that I had mentioned many times that I was available during office hours and would be happy to speak with anyone. Once the students would make the effort to stop by my office, it seemed that they would learn that I am much more approachable than they had originally imagined.
Making the Most of the First Day of Class
The first day of class is an important time. In addition to the usual housekeeping tasks that need to be accomplished, there are other critical functions of the first day of class – not the least of which involves setting the tone for the course.
Strategies for Increasing Student Learning and Performance
When it comes to course design, is the goal to help your students understand concepts, enable future retrieval of concepts, or enable future retrieval of concepts and apply them in real-world situations? To create more effective learning environments, and minimize forgetting, some faculty are turning to Situation-based Learning Design (SBLD), which aligns learning context with performance context.
Seven Tips for Teaching Hybrid Courses
If you're new to the online teaching experience, especially if you're considering a hybrid course, here are some tips you might find helpful.

Oscar Klefbom overcame some early nerves in his NHL debut on Tuesday to finish with a strong performance. He had one assist in 15:19 of ice time along with an even rating.
"It was very fun out there. It was a special feeling. Huge night for me," the 21-year-old defenceman said after the game.
Coach Dallas Eakins talked about Klefbom and said that he felt the rookie got better as the game went on.
"He struggled a little bit early. I think it was a case of nerves. By the third he looked like an NHL defencemen. That's encouraging," Eakins stated.
Klefbom was paired with Oilers captain Andrew Ference. He said that Ference helped him along the way.
"Andrew is unbelievably good. He was talking to me between shifts," said Klefbom.
In a series of coincidences, Klefbom ended up making his NHL debut in the same arena and city in which he was drafted. He also went head-to-head with his best friend, Jonas Brodin.
"I talked to him about it but didn't think about it too much. But it's always good to play against your best buddy. But it felt a little weird."
It looked like it might be a long night for Oilers goaltender Viktor Fasth in his debut with the team. He allowed three goals late in the opening period to get behind the eight ball.
"That is a tough start. He hasn't played a whole lot this year. I talked to Viktor after the game and told him that he battled hard," said Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins after the game.
Fasth recovered nicely, stopping every shot the rest of the way and making enough saves in the shootout to lead the Oilers to victory.
Eakins said that after the Oilers acquired Fasth, his phone lit up with text messages from people saying that he was going to love the Swedish goaltender's compete and battle level.
Fasth talked after the game about that fighting attitude.
"Some days the pucks go in and some days you can't make the save," he began. "I had three goals early in the game and it couldn't get worse than that. You've got to fight your way through the game."

— Bob Stauffer (@Bob_Stauffer) March 11, 2014
Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins announced this morning on Twitter that goaltender Viktor Fasth and defenceman Oscar Klefbom will make their Oilers debuts tonight. For Klefbom, it will also be his NHL debut.
Fasth hasn't played in the NHL since November 18 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He allowed three goals on 27 shots in that game. He played five games on a conditioning stint with the Norfolk Admirals, with a 3-2-0 record and 2.40 goals-against average along with a .922 save percentage.
Fasth and Klefbom will both make their @EdmontonOilers debuts tonight.

Los Angeles Kings centre Jordan Nolan has been suspended one game for his conduct in last night's game against the Edmonton Oilers.

— NHL Player Safety (@NHLPlayerSafety) March 10, 2014
Following a scrum, Nolan delivered a punch to the face of the unsuspecting Jesse Joensuu. The Oilers forward had his hands held behind his back by the officials when Nolan delivered the blow.
Oilers Head Coach Dallas Eakins said after practice on Monday that Viktor Fasth would get his first start in net, as an Edmonton Oiler, on the upcoming road trip.
"Both guys will play," Eakins said. "Ben's played extremely well, he keeps rolling along and has made a real good case for himself here and obviously, we've rewarded him with a contract. But Viktor has played a lot this year and it's kind of the same as with Oscar (Klefbom). I thought it was best for the player to start his Oiler career on the road and that's what we'll do."
Fasth has not played an NHL game since November 18, with the Anaheim Ducks. Fasth was dealing with injury issues for most of this season before returning to game action in the American Hockey League. The Oilers are eager to see what they got in their trade with Anaheim and hope Fasth returns to form quickly in his first start.
"I hope it's like riding a bike but at that position it's a little bit different than a player,"Eakins said. "It's going to have to be one of those, let's just wait and see. But his improvement in practice just over the short amount of time, from his first practice to today, has been a vast improvement so that's encouraging and he's telling me he's ready to play when we're ready to put him in."
Fasth says that although he has been eager to get back into game action, having the extra few days of practice with his new teammates has been beneficial.
"You want to play, but it's been a good start so far for me here," Fasth said. "I think the guys are really nice to me and have welcomed me to the team. I've had a couple of good days practicing here so it feels good."
Now that he has assimilated into the locker room, Fasth is ready to make his debut in the blue and orange.
"Yeah of course. It's been a long season for me so far and I want to get back in there and play a game again. It's just a matter of keeping focused and try to be ready when the coach tells you to play."
Edmonton Oilers winger Taylor Hall missed practice in Leduc on Monday and was replaced on the ice by defenceman Philip Larsen, who skated on a line with Sam Gagner and David Perron.
Oilers Head Coach Dallas Eakins provided an update on Hall after practice and says he will play on Tuesday in Minnesota.
"He's banged up a bit but nothing that's going to keep him out," Eakins said. "Just, Taylor plays a hard game. His minutes aren't, soft is not the word but when he's out there, he's a workhorse and his body takes on a fair amount of wattage. So, we just thought it was better to take him off the ice and let a couple of his bumps and bruises heal up."
The Oilers have taken to the ice at Leduc Recreation Centre for practice, prior to traveling to Minnesota later today.
Early in practice, Taylor Hall has not taken the ice. Defenceman Philip Larsen is dressed in dark blue with Sam Gagner and David Perron.

The Line combinations by jersey colour are as follows:
Larsen (Hall)-Gagner-Perron
The Edmonton Oilers have assigned Anton Lander to the Oklahoma City Barons and have elected to keep Oscar Klefbom with the team. Both players were recalled to Edmonton on an emergency basis on Saturday.
Anton Lander assigned to @OKCBarons, Oscar Klefbom remains with #Oilers.
— Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) March 10, 2014
Lander is the captain of the Barons in the American Hockey League. This season, Lander has played in 42 AHL games and has scored 45 points (17-28-45). Lander is the former 40th overall pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. He has played in 79 NHL games in his career.
20 year-old Klefbom is the former 19th overall pick in the 2011 draft and has yet to make his NHL debut. He could do so as soon as Tuesday night in Minnesota against the Wild.
The Oilers practice at 10 a.m. Monday before flying to Minnesota. Stay tuned for coverage from practice on edmontonoilers.com.

Baby take off your coat! Sarah Silverman, 42, strips down to reveal tiny shorts and kinky tights at environmental event
She's said and done some outrageous things over the years.
And comedienne Sarah Silverman didn't disappoint at a UCLA event on Tuesday.
The 42-year-old performed a mini striptease on the red carpet, removing her coat to reveal tiny silk shorts and thigh-high stockings as she posed prior to the university's Institute Of The Environment And Sustainability's Second Annual An Evening Of Environmental Excellence recognising Al Gore and philanthropist Lyn Lear.
Look at me: Sarah Silverman, 42, stripped down to tiny silk hotpants at a Summer Redstone Charitable Foundation event on Tuesday night in Bel Air, California
The star arrived at the Bel Air event fully dressed in a blue coat, stockings and platform trainers.
But once on the red carpet, the brunette slowly took off her coat for the camera, revealing skimpy shorts and unusual black stockings that ended mid-thigh.
She paired the odd get-up with an embroidered white blouse and a fitted black blazer that she kept buttoned in the front.
Her jet black hair was scraped back into an elegant high ponytail, and her makeup was natural except for a touch of rosy pink lip gloss.
Sarah appeared to be enjoying the attention her outfit was getting as she held out her hands at one point in a confident gesture.

Meanwhile, Courtney Cox looked sombre at the event in a black dress that sported a split at the front, paired with an over-sized black cardigan.
The 48-year-old wore her raven hair loose and wavy over her shoulders, keeping her makeup neutral with just a slick of nude lipstick.
Amy Smart, meanwhile, brought a touch of sparkle to the proceedings in a glittering halter-neck beige dress and brown high heels.
The actress wore her blonde hair in ringlets and added a pop of colour with shiny red lips.

Larry King also made an appearance at the environmental event.

He stood confidently with his hands in his pockets as he posed for the camera.

I don't want to come across as preachy, so I apologize in advance. You sound as if you are relatively youg, healthy, and active.
Don't start down the slippery slope of Rx drugs--needing higher doses of Vicoden, and then maybe some tramadol or percocet, or a little oxycodone which you'll develop a tolerance to so you're dose will increase. Then there's my personal demon, oxycontin. And the list goe on..
If you've got health insurance and can get to a good pain specialist, they have some new and amazing ways to inject (don't know what exactly) into your spine; joint, etc. It may be worth a little research that stepping lightly down... *down the yellow brick road with Dorothy and gang*... or *down the rabbit hole with Alice"??
