Location, cleanliness, modern rooms, friendly staff.
Wish the breakfast had been included!
Staff and low cost of peripheral expenses like the shop and breakfast. I chose it because I wanted something quiet and clean. It was very quiet and very clean. I would definitely stay there again.
The very well appointed room
This was the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. I was overwhelmed when I pulled up and stepped into the lobby, my first words to the registration desk were "well I'm out of my league". Everything was perfect. The staff was professional and courteous. The room was extremely clean and very modern. The view from my room was nice, looking down at the the state theatre, or out at the rest of New Brunswick. And I lucked in to a "special price". So it was very affordable. I have not compared it to regular rates yet, but I would think the room was worth significantly more. If I go anywhere in the vicinity I will be staying here again.
These didn't bother me personally, but just to make others aware. The heldrich is in the middle of the city, so you either have to luck into free street parking or utilize the parking garage directly behind the building. Parking cost about $20 per night, or $25 for valet parking. There was not a refrigerator or microwave in my room, maybe it was just the room I chose. But again none of these bothered me.
It's a fabulous hotel with attentive staff and impeccable accommodations
The price
Place seemed a bit run down, free breakfast was very limited.
The staff was wonderful! Very clean accommodations! Very enjoyable stay!
The Manager's dinner was a nice treat after a long day driving. The breakfast buffet was great - plenty of food choices and places to sit. The indoor pool was very warm and clean.
The bathroom was not clean enough (hairs in the tub). The door leading directly to the outside (which was right in front of our hotel door) did not latch properly and therefore the keycard system was useless.
Tremendous stay! Food great, service staff very helpful
No everything above expectation
when i asked for a room near the elevator due to health issue I was accommodated immediately. Free WiFi was appreciated. Room was very clean. Soft comfortable pillows.
fat In the cookie.
Nice hotel for price paid. Friendly staff, and convienent location. Comfortable bed and room.
Room could have been decorated a little nice for a 3.5* hotel.
The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are very well maintained. The staff at this hotel provide the best customer service out of any hotel that I have stayed at in the past.
Broken AC leaking in room-mildew Changed room, in morning shower was broken.
It was in a remote location. Very pretty on the outside.
Staff was not as friendly. Mattress wasn't comfortable, too warn out feeling or old. Needs replacement especially in a hotel.
space in room refrigerator microwave very accessible
some one knock on the door at 3 a.m. in the morning need security check flooring during evening made me and my husband feel a little uncomfortable
The staff was wonderful.The location was perfect little getaway.I like the room, I was in and will request it again.
The exercise room had a hole in the ceiling, which was dripping.
Staff West traffic overall a wonderful experience
nothing really was very good.
The hotel is completely smoke-free so there was no surprise stinky room. We arrived very late and the overnight staff is friendly and helpful. They had free breakfast when we were there although I did not see that listed on the website. This hotel is approximately 7 1/2 miles from rutgers University.
Comfy bed, friendly & helpful staff, nice continental breakfast. Great value for $$

brick wall window -- replacement review
i have a 2-brick-layer (cca 8" thick) wall and regular 2x framing inside. the window is Marvin (see photos) and is about 6.5" deep. the house is 100 yrs old and so is the brick wall. i was wondering if you could review my plan for replacement.
my opening is about 1.5" wider than the window. i was thinking of setting the studs on the sides of the window even with the opening and then fill the gap with a 1x10 on either side. in addition to filling the gap, the 1x10 would also be used to anchor the window to the framing inside because i want the outside of the window to be completely flush with the brick so i don't have to mess around with aluminum flashing around it etc. nice and simple. i have another window just like that and i think it's a brilliant and elegant solution as opposed to unnecessarily difficult tucking of aluminum outside. but since the window is shallower than the brick wall, i will need to tuck something between the framing and it on the inside (which is much simpler than outside flashing) and, since i have a gap i need to fill anyway, this strike kills two flies at once. as for the platform, i was thinking to remove the inside layer of bricks from the top tier before the window and lay two 2x10s which on the inside would anchor into the studs and outside rest on the bricks under them and be flush with the outside layer of the bricks. two decked 2x pieces of lumber should be about as thick as a brick, give or take. when i insert the window into that, i can anchor it cause the window on the inside has a 2" wide trim that can be used to nail to the framing. as for the 3/4" gap on both sides on the outside, i was thinking to just somehow fill that with mortar after the window is inserted. i know that will be difficult. any better way? please see the attached pics related to this plan. the drawing represents the window sill (platform) before insertion and the gap filling strategy with 1x10s after. the photos are the opening and the window, inside and outside. let me know if anything is unclear or confusing, which i suspect it could be cause it is always difficult to describe a retrofitting scenario.

Photo Release -- Huntington Ingalls Industries' AMSEC Subsidiary Employee Wins Annual Safety Suggestion Award
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Feb. 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) announced today that an employee at its AMSEC LLC subsidiary won the annual Safety Suggestion Award contest hosted by the Virginia Ship Repair Association (VSRA).
A photo accompanying this release is available at http://media.globenewswire.com/hii/mediagallery.html?pkgid=17183
Casey Tarnowski was honored for his stanchion stabilizer, which prevents stanchions from rolling off flight decks and preventing them from being dropped through flight deck stanchion holes on aircraft carriers. He received the award and a $500 cash prize from Brian Applewhite, VSRA's safety committee chair, at the VSRA's general membership meeting on Jan. 22 at the Renaissance Hotel in Portsmouth.
"We are very proud of Casey for his innovative and creative safety initiative," said Harris Leonard, HII vice president and president of AMSEC operations. "Safety is one of our top priorities at AMSEC, and Casey personifies the spirit by thinking out of the box and keeping our customer and employees safe on the waterfront."

Kill the Senate bill and then go to reconciliation?
Wait a minute, that makes no sense at all: Reconciliation has to be between a PASSED House bill and a PASSED Senate bill. What would there be to reconcile the House bill with, if the Senate bill isn't passed? Has Howard Dean been misquoted, or doesn't he understand how Congress works?
The Senate has to pass some sort of a Health Insurance Reform bill, even if it has no public option, no triggered public option, no Medicare expansion, etc. THEN the majority leaders in the House and Senate can get together and write a reconciled bill. (They can combine items from each version, so they could actually end up with a public option, or more likely a triggered or optional-by-state public option in the final bill.) Then both Houses of Congress have to vote on the reconciled bill, and it is not subject to filibuster so all it needs is 50% +1 to pass. THAT's what is meant by "passing it in reconciliation".

Serena! 6-3 6-1
May 30th, 2004, 05:16 PM
into QF!
May 30th, 2004, 05:19 PM
Keeps the streak alive!! Since U.s. open ´00 QF at all her GS-events!!
May 30th, 2004, 05:20 PM
Congrats Serena :yeah:
May 30th, 2004, 05:33 PM
Well done Shino, great tournament :worship:
May 30th, 2004, 05:35 PM
Congrats, Rena! Keep going.
May 30th, 2004, 05:58 PM
I saw the last part of the match and I was not terribly impressed with Serena's play. Maybe because she could afford to get sloppy, but she was not moving well at all. Did anybody else think she looked a little out of sorts?
May 30th, 2004, 06:00 PM
Yep...she was sleep-walking through-out the match....only played well when she needed too. I think because she knew that Asagoe didn´t have the weapons to hurt her....needs to get better for the QF though.
May 30th, 2004, 06:05 PM
Congrats Rena but she better get herself together for the Capster. Capster is out looking for REVENGE.
Rena cut the partying out and get back to tennis.:D
May 30th, 2004, 06:06 PM
Serena :) congrats on the win.
But her stats are making me go :confused: Not Serena at all. Still she has time to practice. So GO SERENA!
May 30th, 2004, 06:06 PM
congrats Serena, if i didn't have completely shit television coverage, i would be able to see how your game is so far :)
May 30th, 2004, 06:10 PM
After this match,all I can say is Capriati is likeky to repeat what she did in Rome in case the two meet.I don't know if I'm wrong but it looks like Serena is not 100% yet,I think the knee is still bothering and also her preparation going into the French was not sufficient.
May 30th, 2004, 06:13 PM
Hmm....don´t know about that yet. Her movement is fine when she WANTS too, but she was kinda lazy today. Can´t be like that against Jen....
May 30th, 2004, 06:15 PM
GO Serena!! Take revenge on Jen in the next round if Jen makes it that far.
May 30th, 2004, 06:17 PM
Did Asagoe really have an off day, coz I don't see how come that player beat Schnyder, Dulko and Hantuchova :eek:
Serena was really off today :o A serena from 2002 would win this 6-0 6-0
May 30th, 2004, 06:17 PM
:) Nice win even thought it wasnt her best
May 30th, 2004, 06:20 PM

naaah....Serena ain´t that level yet, folks. Forgot about that. This is her what fourth or fifth tournament back...she just had some sloppy errors out there...missing drive volleys and stuff. Plus on the clay, your sloppiness is exposed the most.

Found this article on the G.O.A.L, (Gun Owners' Action League), website today. Not to say that it eases my fears out the Govenors agenda to remove guns but it seems other people are trying to avoid the issue. Maybe for fear of their jobs? Let's hope.
News on Governor Patrick's Bill: According to two separate articles from the State House News Service the House voted to send the Governor's gun bill to the Judiciary Committee, but the Senate voted to send it to the Public Safety Committee. Unless the two can agree on where to put it the bill stands in limbo for now! Could it be that your calls and emails to the legislature have been heard?
Keep fighting the good fight everyone.

Bachelor of Arts and Science
Interfaculty Programs
There are two Interfaculty Programs offered through the McGill School of Environment, one of them in partnership with the Department of Geography:
- The Interfaculty Program in Environment; and,
- The Interfaculty Program in Sustainability, Science and Society. This program is offered in partnership with the Department of Geography.
For information on the BA&Sc degree requirements, see the University's "Programs, Courses, and University Regulations" e-Calendar. The Science Office for Undergraduate Student Advising (SOUSA) website provides Arts&Science students with general academic information and advice about issues such as faculty and degree requirements, registration issues, interfaculty transfers, study away, academic standing, and graduation.
Restrictions on Courses taken Outside your Faculty, and on Statistics Courses
Courses taken Outside your Faculty
There are some important rules regarding how many courses you can take outside of the Faculty of your degree. Bachelor of Arts and Science (BA&Sc) students are restricted to a maximum of 30 credits outside of Arts and Science (only 12 of which can be electives). Refer to the Science Office for Undergraduate Student Advising (SOUSA) website for further details.
Note that students will receive no warning if they register for too many credits outside Arts and Science, the course will simply be flagged for "no credit", and no refund will be given.
These limits do not include the ENVR Core courses, regardless of where they are taken.
Statistics Courses
There are many statistics courses offered at McGill that are similar enough to each other that a student will not receive credit for more than one of them, even if taken by mistake. Students in the BA&Sc Interfaculty Program Environment should choose one of the five statistics courses listed. Minerva will not warn you if there is an overlap in courses. You simply will not receive credit for the course. Therefore, if you have taken, or are considering taking, other statistics courses at McGill, you should check the Calendar or ask kathryn [dot] roulet [at] mcgill [dot] ca (Kathy Roulet), the MSE Program Advisor, to ensure there is no restriction.

Toxic Biohazard from Image-Line is a the company's latest version of their hybrid software synthesizer, featuring an optimized engine for improved sound quality, with even more accurate wave shapes, and quicker rendering times. Modeled amplitude and filter envelopes deliver a real world sound and are rendered real-time without any interpolation, thus avoiding noise artifacts.
The hybrid synthesis engine combines the best of FM (frequency modulation) and subtractive synthesis and complements them with a warm, analog-modeled filter and a set of built-in effects. High-resolution DSP processing produces sound with an extremely low noise threshold. Additionally, the software includes a 64-step sequencer that can be split into two 32-step modules.
- Six, completely alias-free oscillators, well tuned for all sampling rates and calculated at extremely high speeds, keeping CPU usage to a minimum
- Oscillators come equipped with spectrum analysis technology, allowing users to create custom waveforms by loading WAV or AIFF format sound files for the use of both synthetic and acoustic waveforms within the FM engine
- Each oscillator also comes with 32 built in "classic" waveforms, each shown to be the most useful in FM synthesis
- Two assignable LFOs
- The effect modules are designed to give the user access to several types of effects, from aggressive, tube-like distortion, to warm stereo delay, reverb, flanger and phaser effects
- Tape delay emulation is based on non-fixed delay buffer sizes
- Eight-band graphic EQ
- 64-step sequencer which can be divided into two independent, 32-step modules to allow double-polyphonic patterns
- "Smart Sequencer" technology defines a played chord and tunes the pattern accordingly
- The sequencer also allows for playback of the programmed sequence from single notes - simply holding one chord can virtually create an arrangement

Standard & Poor's, the rating company that downgraded the debt of the United States to AA+ from AAA for the first time, now finds itself assailed by investors led by billionaire Warren Buffett for making a political decision that has more to do with Tea Party politics than the financial stability of the U.S.
Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Robert Litan, Bloomberg Government director of research, discusses the theories behind the path to solving the fiscal cliff. He speaks on Bloomberg Television's "Bloomberg Surveillance."
Wall Street banks , surprised that the Senate's financial overhaul passed with language that could curtail their derivatives trading, are now hoping the rule can be killed in Congressional negotiations.
Aug. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Jack Gerard, president of the American Petroleum Institute, Carlos Gutierrez, vice chairman of the institutional clients group at Citigroup Inc., Leonard Cali, senior vice president of external and legislative affairs at AT&T Inc., and Robert Litan, director of research at Bloomberg Government, talk about the U.S. regulatory environment. They speak at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida, as part of the Bloomberg/2012 Tampa Host Committee Economic Development Series. Bloomberg's Michael Riley moderates the panel.

More than 1 million self-employed Americans are no longer in business almost four years after the last recession began, as the economy constrains entrepreneurial activity and small-business job creation.
Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. were the reigning champions of finance in 2006 as home prices peaked, leading the 10 biggest U.S. banks and brokerage firms to their best year ever with $104 billion of profits.
Lawmakers promised their budget deal would mark an end to Washington's cycle of fiscal showdowns.
"Policy is not that important to companies that turn out to be really successful."

Adds Daniel Hebert, who has worked on the presses in Detroit for 29 years: "Lawrence is in his own little world. Financially I've been able to handle the strike. But we've got younger people who are losing their homes standing up to this company. What the company is doing is wrong."
The National Labor Relations Board would seem to agree. After reviewing the events leading up to the strike, the NLRB found sufficient evidence to support the allegation that Knight-Ridder and Gannett refused to bargain in good faith, thereby forcing the walkout. The board has filed formal charges against the two companies; a hearing will ultimately decide the issue.
The AFL-CIO's Ed Feigen says the Herald boycott effort will continue until the strike is over, with a new group of Detroit strikers dispatched each week to staff phone banks in Dade and Broward.
As part of the campaign, the visiting strikers also attend various union gatherings, where they talk about the strike and present a twenty-minute videotape, a mix of TV news clips and raw video footage showing police and private security guards wading into crowds of striking newspaper workers, beating them with clubs and batons.
"When our members see videotape of Knight-Ridder's hired goons beating up workers on the Detroit picket lines, they don't think twice about dumping the Herald," says Mike Ozegovich, secretary-treasurer of the South Florida AFL-CIO. "Nobody wants to contribute a dime to the Herald knowing that Knight-Ridder will send their money to Detroit to hire goons."
Local union leaders are also able to hear personal accounts of the violence from mailroom worker Steve Munson. On the first night of the strike, Munson says, he took off in his car after a delivery truck so a picket line could be set up at the distribution site. "We were going about 65 miles an hour when these two cars filled with private security guards started ramming us," Munson recounts. "They didn't stop until they ran us into a ditch." The driver of one of the cars was eventually arrested and charged with assault.
Ed Feigen is confident the South Florida boycott will take hold, despite the fact that Miami is by no means a hotbed of union activism. "If Knight-Ridder can destroy the unions in Detroit, then workers everywhere have reason to be worried," he contends. "Dave Lawrence can unilaterally eliminate 300 jobs and unilaterally declare that there won't be pay raises at the Herald for six months, and workers here have no way to question or challenge it," Feigen adds, commenting on the recent layoffs at the Herald. "And now he's complaining that efforts to start a boycott down here are going to cost more jobs, and he tells people he doesn't want to see that happen. Dave Lawrence expressing concern for people who are being laid off is like Freddy Krueger expressing concern for slashing victims."
Last week Feigen challenged Lawrence to appoint an independent commission to determine the exact number of people who have canceled their subscriptions or agreed not to buy the newspaper from news racks. "Lawrence is the one who started the numbers game," Feigen says, in reference to the Herald publisher's contention that only a handful of people had canceled their subscriptions. (The union claims more than 500 have either dropped home delivery or agreed to stop buying the paper.)
Reached by phone in his car, Lawrence stands by his published attack on the unions and says he is rejecting the offer to appoint an independent commission. ("I have no intention in participating in their games," he snaps.) "I have no apologies whatsoever for defending my newspaper and the newspaper of hundreds of thousands of people in South Florida," Lawrence shouts. The news story alongside his note gave the unions a chance to state their case, he argues, noting that it "had a larger headline.

Tottenham have no intention of selling Andros Townsend, according to Sky sources.
earlier this month, which was staunchly rebuffed, and Sky Sports understands the south coast club have discussed returning with another offer.
But Townsend, who was not picked in the 18-man squad for Spurs' 4-0 win over QPR, is still considered an important part of Mauricio Pochettino's plans this season and impressed as a substitute in the opening day win at West Ham.
Sky sources understand Townsend was disappointed not to make the squad on Sunday but is determined to force his way into the side and does not wish to leave the club either.
Pochettino, previously boss at Southampton, has previously stated: "Andros is an important player.
"He's an English player for the national team, missed the World Cup because of injury, but we need to recover a player like him because he has great potential and very good quality."
Tottenham have previously expressed an interest to Southampton in Morgan Schneiderlin and Jay Rodriguez this summer, and Sky Sports understands Spurs still hold hope of prising Schneiderlin away from the south coast.
But Southampton have also told Tottenham and the France midfielder himself, , that no deal can be struck in the current window.
According to Sky sources, Schneiderlin was keen on reuniting himself with former manager Pochettino at White Hart Lane, but he has since been reintegrated into the Southampton team and has featured in both their Premier League games so far this season.
Meanwhile, , as they continue talks to bring in Sevilla centre-back Federico Fazio.

Cassie stared at the diapers for just a moment, then shook her head and laughed inwardly. That was certainly one way to waste her money. She wondered just why they had caught her eye when everything else in the shop must have looked more interesting. But somehow, as she continued to stare, it was as if that package was the most interesting thing she'd ever seen.
She forced herself to walk away and study another shelf. An ancient coin, rubber gloves, a packet of Christmas cards...
Don't look at them, she told herself, before looking over her shoulder at the package. They're just diapers! She imagined phoning Mark and Beth later.
"A thrift store? That's an interesting way to spend your afternoon. What'd you get?"
"Oh, you know, just a package of diapers..."
"Pretty sure that there's no way to say it without sounding stupid," she mumbled. A mother with two small children frowned at her, as if talking to oneself was illegal.
And yet...
...Why not?
Cassie took a deep breath, and grabbed the package. It crinkled as she wrapped her hand around the folded diapers, and she almost ran to the till to buy it before someone noticed. A blonde, handsome young man was helping an elderly customer finish putting their items in a plastic bag, and for a moment she forgot what she was holding. He's kind of cute, she thought. The man turned to her.
"Can I help you?" he asked, and smiled. Cassie's stomach fluttered, but she stepped forward.
"Hi, I'd like to buy... this..." she said, tailing off as she remembered what she was holding. Oh god. He's going to laugh at me isn't he.
The man's gaze lowered to the diapers, but his smile didn't fade or change. "Okay then," he said simply, and that was that. She handed over a few coins (so cheap!), and ran outside.
As she drove back home, Cassie felt a sense of shame descending on her. Had she really just bought adult diapers? She hadn't wet the bed since she was 13, and that was just a one time accident! She didn't need them! Her imagined conversation between her friends faded back into her mind, and she had an urge to toss her new purchase out of the window.
But as she glanced over at the diapers beside her, sitting patiently in the passenger seat, she fought back the urge to laugh. So what? She might find a use for them. Somehow.
She pulled up beside her parent's house, and walked inside. It didn't sound like there was anyone home, and that suited Cassie just fine. She walked into the lounge, where there was a large mirror hanging on one wall. This would be perfect. To stop neighbours from seeing what she was doing, she closed the curtains, and then proceeded to lower her jeans.
Once she had done that and removed her underwear, she reached out for the package slowly, tentatively, as if it were a wild animal that might bite. She pulled a diaper out, and ran her fingers over it. So soft! Then a thought occurred to her, and she sniffed it. No unpleasant odors. Good. She might think herself crazy for even putting on a diaper, but here she was doing it. There was no way she was going to put on a dirty one.
She unfolded it and slowly, very slowly, began to fix it onto herself. It felt so snug up against her skin, and although at the back of her mind she felt very stupid for doing this, she couldn't help but feel exhilaration. She felt like a child doing something naughty and not being caught, and she grinned impishly.
There. Tapes were fastened. She studied herself in the mirror. The sight of her standing half clothed with a diaper quite visible underneath made her want to laugh. This could be a lot of fun! And it was so comfortable too! Her smile faded as she began to study her appearance further. At 4'11", Cassie was very sensitive about her height, and this was the first thought that ran through her mind when it came to her appearance and what she'd like to change if possible.
"I've always been too short," she said out loud. There was nobody around to hear her, anyway. "Wish I was bigger."
A tingle ran down her spine, but she shook it off. She mentally scolded herself. This would do no good for her self esteem. She grabbed her jeans and pulled them back on, but she frowned as she realised they felt a bit tight on her. "Funny, they fit me fine a moment ago. Hope I don't need to think about a diet." She forgot all about her tighter jeans, and grabbed her phone, wondering what Mark and Beth were up to.

Walgreen'sTuesday, September 30, 2008
Brach's Chocolate Candy Corn & Halloween MixFirst thing I have to say about Brach's Milk Maid Chocolate Caramel Candy Corn is that the name is too long. If the name takes up three lines, it's too long. These are tiny little pieces of candy ... the name should not weigh more than the candy itself. I knew this candy existed, but I was having trouble finding it. I was delighted not only to find it at Walgreen's, but also in this 7 ounce bag (instead of the 9.5 ounce Caramel Apple Candy Corn a few weeks ago and the mondo 22 ounce bag I got of the the Caramel Candy Corn last year). The package says that it's made with real cocoa and real milk. I'd never really thought about candy corn being a dairy product. (Makes me think about creamed corn.) The pieces are attractive. A medium brown bottom, a darker brown middle and a white tip. My bag was exceptionally sloppy. There weren't many well-formed pieces, some were missing a color but mostly they were just irregular. Part of the fun is the attractiveness of candy corn. This didn't quite measure up. The base flavor is the caramel. It's a bit salty and has that fake butter flavor to it that I can handle in tiny doses. The middle section has a light cocoa flavor and the white top is, of course, unadulterated sweetness. They taste a bit richer than the typical orange & yellow candy corn, but I found the fake butter a little too artificial to keep me eating these. It makes me wish they sold these in 1 ounce bags. That would have been enough to satisfy my curiosity. The ingredients list salt above the actual milk in here. There's also gelatin, so no good for vegetarians and it's not Kosher. This was the first Brach's package I've seen so far that makes note of the new Farley's & Sathers ownership. I was rather excited to see the Brach's Assorted Halloween Mellowcremes on the same shelf. I thought they discontinued or perhaps only available in bulk. The package joyfully tells me it's America's #1! (It's also made in Mexico.) Honestly it's been so long since I had the Brach's Mellowcremes, I didn't remember whether they were flavored or not. (The Autumn Mix is not distinctly flavored.) These little fondant nuggets come in four colors and eight shapes: crescent moon, black cat, pumpkin, jug, jack o'lantern, bat, corn cob and sheaf of wheat. The flavors are determined by the color of the Mellowcreme. The package I picked has more yellow and tan ones, so I think I did well here as those are the ones I'm picking out to eat anyway. The salt really helps these out. There's 110 mg of Sodium in every serving, which is quite a lot for a candy (but an excellent stat if this was a canned soup). Consider it a boost to your electrolytes, maybe athletes will start carrying Mellowcremes as a recovery supplement. I think the bragging rights are earned here. I now think that Mellowcremes are worth the search. (These also contain gelatin.) 7 out of 10 Related Candies

Regal Dynasty European Dark ChocolateOn my continuing quest to try off brands of confections to see if saving a little money means sacrificing taste, I came upon this bar at the Walgreen's, mixed in with the other upscale chocolate bars: Regal Dynasty European Chocolate. This bar was called simply Dark Chocolate. For $1.29 and clocking in at 6.3 ounces, I was more than curious how well it could compare. The packaging is less than exciting, in fact it looks dated, like some sort packet of cheap stationery from the Office Max circa 1993. The paper is rather flimsy and the foil wrapper inside is similarly thin, though both seem to do their job of protecting the bar well enough. So I can look past that (especially since I've had some very expensive bars that I don't think have very attractive or useful packaging). The ingredients however are a big old red flag: sugar, cocoa mass, vegetable fat, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, flavor. It states that the cocoa solids are a minimum of 45%. But it never says what those vegetable fats are or if that flavor is natural. The bar is lovely. It's well molded and has a crisp snap. It has a sweet and slightly cinnamon & cereal smell to it. It has a difficult melt though, but as it does soften, it is very sweet but at least not chalky or gritty. But it's cool on the tongue, which usually means substitute fats or substitute sugars and always makes me a bit uneasy. The chocolate notes aren't deep or complex or satisfying. I would probably find this passable in a chocolate croissant, but standing alone as a piece of confection, it tastes watery and empty of nuance. The simple fact is that it's not chocolate. I'd hazard that since the vegetable fats come before the cocoa butter on the ingredients list that it wouldn't even qualify under the laxer rules in Europe that allow veggie fats up to 5%. No, this is a plain old false label. It's not chocolate. Not even close. But in an odd twist, it doesn't have any dairy fats so can be considered vegan! Even though I liked it a bit more than the Carlos V Chocolate Style Bar and it was cheaper, I can't get past the fact that its downright false label. Hopefully it will make passable brownies (which is what happens to many of the bars that I can't bring myself to eat). Oddly enough, I can see myself buying this again though if I need a really nice looking, generic chocolate bar for a photo shoot. But if you're looking for something you can actually eat that doesn't cost too much, wait for a sale on something you know you like or just settle for a smaller package. UPDATE November 3, 2009: Walgreen's is discontinuing this bar. In it's place you can buy an even more dreadful bar from R.M. Palmer called 2 Buck Choc, which has awful and unappealing graphics on the wrapper and of course doesn't taste nearly as good as this (which I didn't like but at least give it credit).

Mini Charleston ChewsAfter my stellar experience with the Look! bar last month, Christine suggested in the comments that it was like Charleston Chews. Honestly, I've avoided Charleston Chews, mostly because they have the dreaded mockolate coating. I bought a bar once before and upon opening, it was apparent that it wasn't fresh or maybe that's the way they were supposed to look, so I opted not to review it. However, at the Walgreen's the other day they were having a sale on theater box candy. I really wanted some Good & Plenty, but the sale was 3 for $3.00 instead of $1.50 each, so I obviously bought three boxes of candy. (The other was Crows.) Charleston Chews are named after the dance craze of the 20s. Introduced in 1922 by the Fox-Cross Candy Company they've changed hands a few times, manufactured by Warner-Lambert and then Nabisco before being picked up by the Tootsie company in the 90s. Tootsie understands a good taffy chew. The design of the box is classic, as are many Tootsie items. It conveys what to expect, some sort of small white bar of chew covered in a delicious chocolatey coating. Though the box tells me that these are Vanilla, I know that the long bars come in other flavors including Chocolate and Strawberry. I've never seen those in the mini chew size. (Which is too bad, because I think it'd be fun to be able to buy a mixed box.) This box was so much better than the first bar I had, so things were encouraging. First, it has a cellophane overwrap. Second, the Walgreen's where I usually shop has pretty good control over their temperature. I've never been in there and found it to be sweltering (and there are plenty of other drug stores in Southern California that have that problem and I won't buy chocolate candy there ... or even chocolatey candy.) The mockolate coating is kind of chalky looking but I figured that was because of the friction of rattling around in the box. The coating is thin, but enough to usually contain the fluffed chew in the center. They smell sweet, like vanilla candles. It's soft enough to bite in half or simply chew up. It's a smooth chew to the very end (not like Starbursts or Sugar Babies which both disintegrate into a grainy mess). The flavor is pleasant, the fake chocolate contributes next to nothing here, not even a little cocoa pop. But the chew is enjoyable enough that I ate most of the box (but didn't have access to much other candy as I'm traveling). As a movie treat, they're easy to eat mindlessly. However, having had the Look! bar, which is a chew covered in real chocolate, this is a silly waste of my time. But I still think I'll try the Strawberry & Chocolate varieties at some point. Rosa at ZOMG Candy also wasn't thrilled with them. These contain egg whites (and oodles of milk products) so are not suitable for vegans. Kosher. Related Candies

The Oh Henry!sThe Oh Henry! bar is one of oldest extant candy bars in North America. There are two stories of the origin of the bar. The first is that the bar was invented by Tom Henry in 1919, who ran the Peerless Candy Company (known for their hard candies) where the bar was known as the Tom Henry Bar. He sold the recipe for the bar to Williamson Candy Store in Chicago. The other story is that it was actually invented by the Williamson Candy Store and named for a helpful customer whom the female clerks would often ask favors of, by saying "Oh, Henry, could you move that heavy box." It was often billed as "the ten cent piece of dollar candy" and became popular in Chicago eventually expanding as a national candy bar through the tenacious efforts of John Glossinger (whom Glosettes are named after). Williamson Candy, at some point, sold out to Ward-Johnson which was swallowed up by Nabisco in 1981 (which was also holding the Curtiss bars - Baby Ruth & Butterfinger included- at that time). Finally in 1990 Nestle bought the Curtiss bars, SnoCaps, Goobers & Raisinets from Nabisco. (Some of this is a bit murky and I traced it mostly through trademark registrations, and probably matters very little in the end.) The bar is simple enough, a vanilla fudge center with caramel & peanuts then covered in chocolate. It's gone through some changes over the years besides ownership. This is where things get interesting from an evolutionary standpoint. In 1987 Hershey Canada got the rights to produce the bar (through Nabisco which owned Canadian confectioner Lowney). The Hershey's Oh Henry! is more than a little different from the American bar, as we'll see. Though the American bar used to be a single, it has now morphed into a double bar (a la Mounds) while the Canadian version remains pretty much the same as it was 30 years ago. The package on the Nestle version says: 2 peanutty * caramel * fudge bars in milk chocolate. It weighs 1.8 ounces (51 grams). It comes sealed in a simple yellow plasticized wrapper. The package on the Hershey version says: crunchy peanuts, chewy fudge, creamy caramel, covered in a chocolaty coating. It weighs 2.2 ounces (62.5 grams). It comes in a mylar wrapper with a small folded paperboard tray. The innards of the two Oh Henrys! tell more about them. The American Oh Henry! is rather organized and stratified. The Nestle one has a caramel base then a fudge mixed with peanuts. It's all covered in what they call real milk chocolate. It has a nice roasted peanut flavor, but the difference between the caramel and the fudge is minimal. The fudge is a bit saltier, but caramel is short and grainy instead of being chewy and creamy. At first I thought it was just a not-so-fresh bar, so I bought another. And another. This is the third I've bought and second I've photographed for this review. The two pieces are nicely sized and the flavor balance overall is good. I would prefer some really good creamy chocolate to pull it together, but that's just not Nestle's style. The Hershey one reminds me a bit of a narrow Payday Chocolatey Avalanche. The fudge is at the center here and much lighter in color (reminding me quite a bit of a nougat except there are no eggs in it). On top of the fudge is a thin layer of caramel which holds the peanuts. The whole thing is covered in a chocolatey coating (which actually contains real chocolate with cocoa butter, but it also has modified palm oil in it, which takes it out of the real chocolate column). The nuts play a much bigger role here, probably because they mingle with both the (mock)chocolate and the caramel. For fake chocolate, it does a much better job of being creamy and tasty than Nestle's real stuff. The caramel has a kind of fake butter flavor to it, but this is only noticeable if you take the bar apart and try to eat the elements separately (now why would you wanna do that?). While Nestle just lets the Oh Henry! bar do its thing here in the States, up in the Great White North it's another story entirely. Hershey goes to down with the bar. First, it's one of the largest single-serve bars in Canada, so it's known as a good value. Hershey also does limited editions and other versions of the bar. I got a hold of a few. Oh Henry! Dark is exactly what you'd think: the same Oh Henry! bar but with real dark chocolate. It's not quite as sweet as the regular Oh Henry! and really quite a nice bar. The dark chocolate gives it a bigger chocolate pop instead of all that dairy-tasting milk chocolate. I could use a dash of salt, but, that's just me, eh. All of the variation bars are slightly smaller, at only 60 grams (2.12 ounces). The Peanut Butter Oh Henry! (with Reese (r) Peanut Butter) swaps out the fudge with a peanut butter mass in the center. It's a bit flatter than the other bars. It's also a bit greasy. This one also has a mockolate coating which isn't as creamy and just a bit bloomed. It's really peanutty. It's also pleasantly salty ... or unpleasantly so if you think that 115 mg is a little much for a candy bar (the standard Hershey Oh Henry! has 50 mg). The peanut center also made the caramel more noticeable, probably because it isn't as dense and chewy as the fudge. (This one is not a limited edition but appears to be a permanent variation.) The final limited edition item is the Oh Henry! Oh Canada. It first appeared last year for Canada Day (July 1st) so mine is a bit past its prime (the expiration says January 2008). The bar is described on the wrapper: Crunchy peanuts, red chewy fudge, white creamy caramel, covered in a chocolatey coating. This combo results in red and white in every bite!. Yes, that fudge center there is actually red. And maple flavored. Even if it is expired, it was still pretty tasty. I liked the intense maple flavor that permeated the bar. It was like toasted, caramelized pecans. Overally, I much prefer the Canadian Oh Henry! from Hershey, even if it does have mockolate on it. The Dark Oh Henry! is superior to all the others, but since it was a Limited Edition, the original (which by the way, better reflects the American original anyway) will do in a pinch. But given a choice, I'd probably opt for the whole thing sans (mock)chocolate and get a Payday. Related Candies

Warheads QBZAs summer comes along, I get a hankering for sour. I'm not a super-sour fan, if it's likely to lead to tongue blistering after on a few pieces, I'm not likely to buy it (but I'll try it!). I like the kind of sour stuff that gets the jaw a-tingling, stuff that has a bit of flavor to go along with the intense acidity. Warheads by Impact Confections makes some pretty intensely sour stuff, but their new QBZ are simply rated sour on their intensity scale. (The Warheads Junior Extreme Sour are two steps above.) These little gem cubes come in Green Apple, Strawberry, Blue Raspberry & Watermelon. They're marketed as "bite-sized, sour-coated cubes don't stick to teeth like many chewy candies." I picked these up at Walgreens in a cute single serve package. They are actually little cubes, a bit irregular but brightly colored. They have a little sugary/sour sanding on them to keep them from sticking together. They have an easy, soft bite, a bit of a cross between a fruit jelly and a gummi (they do have gelatin in them). These are definitely edible, not something you'd only do for a dare. The flavor mix is fun though I'm mystified why there's no orange or lemon in there as they are actually flavors that are supposed to be sour. They're fun to eat either way - you can suck the sour powder off and get a really intense tingly kick or chew it quickly to mix the tangy outer coating with the milder, more flavorful center. I think I still prefer the sour gummi bears, but then again those just had a flavor variety that I prefer. These are also similar to the Albanese Beeps (Caitlin at Candy Addict reviewed them here). Albanese is made in the USA, Warheads are made in China. Preferences aside, these may be easier to find than other, better gummi sour options or, of course, Sour Patch Kids. Related Candies

Ghirardelli Intense DarkGhirardelli has really expanded their line of chocolate bars over the past five years. Not only that, I see their products everywhere now thanks to the expansion of higher end chocolate into grocery stores and drug chains. They even have a charming chain of ice cream stores. But I've ignored them on the blog for a long time. Probably because my initial impression of them has been that the chocolate bars is waxy and bland. But they're wildly popular and have been making chocolate since 1852 in the Bay Area, one of my favorite candy destinations, so I needed to put those impressions to the test. That's not to say that I don't use their chocolate chips, I prefer them to Nestle's Toll House Morsels or Hershey's Baking Chips and they're often on sale for a decent price. So I picked up this assortment of tasting squares after Christmas when they were on sale. They feature the new line of Intense Dark in three different flavors. The Espresso Escape wrapper says: dark chocolate with finely ground espresso beans in 60% cacao. As usual I was worried about the bits of coffee beans, but in thsi case they really were so finely ground as they matched the particle size of the cocoa solids. Roasted brewed coffee flavors mixed with the woodsy taste of real beans. Very little chocolate flavor here, it's all coffee but with a smooth chocolate texture. Good cocoa butter melt, very silky. Light vanilla overtones. But the cedar and smoke is quite tangy. While I enjoyed the texture quite a bit, the flavor was just a little too, well, Intense (tm). The Mint Bliss package says: dark chocolate with natural mint in 60% cacao. What the front of the package doesn't mention is that there's also some unidentified "artificial flavor" in this as well. Nice buttery texture, but an incongruous tangy and musty taste along with the peppermint. It's more of a fresh peppermint leaf taste, not a pure peppermint oil, which is a nice change of pace from their Peppermint Bark that I had over the holidays. But the combination of flavors still doesn't quite jive for me. The Twilight Delight wrapper simply says 72% cacao in big bold, gold letters. It has a nice buttery melt with a light cool feeling but the flavor is a little thin. It's a little fruity, on the raisin side of things. It's sweet, only the lightest trace of bitterness. Light dry finish. Ghirardelli has some other versions in their Intense Dark line, including the Midnight Reverie that has 86% cacao, Evening Dream with only 60% cacao and two other flavored 60% called Citrus Sunset & Toffee Interlude. They also have some filled bars that I haven't tried yet. Overall, it's nice stuff, certainly worth the price and a fun little pickup for coffee or after dinner, maybe a mid-day munch. I like the 10.6 gram squares, it's a good size for a little taste of chocolate. Note: the Mint Bliss & Espresso Escape have milk fat in them, so are unsuitable for vegans, but the Twilight Delight is milk-free (though made on equipment that processes dairy).

Black Licorice Twists & SnapsI'm hearing a lot of hatin' on black licorice in the entries for the Red Vines Giveaway. Which makes me sad. I think a lot of folks are very attached to their favorite candies and I'm probably one of those people and maybe I take it a little personally when someone calls something that I appreciate disgusting. (But I'm not a converter or anything, I don't like to force candy on people who say that they don't like something.) Licorice has a long and wonderful history as a confection and even a medicine. It's also very flexible, used as a flavoring in hundreds of different sweet and savory items. It has some companion flavors as well, such as anise and fennel. One of the more commonly found licorices is the Red Vines Black Licorice Twists. The most common kind of licorice here in the United States is the twist. It has a wheat base and is usually flavored and sweetened with molasses (and in this case, corn syrup too). Molasses is a great companion to licorice. While pure licorice is very sweet and soft on the tongue, molasses is deep and only mildly sweet with some interesting mineral notes. The earthy combination and less sticky complexity to it all makes Red Vines Black Licorice Twists a nice treat. They're not very licoricey, but that's okay, they do have a nice texture and feel more like a snack than a candy sometimes. (Wheat-based candies can do that.) I think they're best when they're fresh, but stale is okay. I've revived stale licorice before by placing it in the microwave on top of a very lightly damp paper towel, covered with another paper towel and zap it for 10 seconds. Licorice and licorice-like candies are increasing in popularity, probably because of their low caloric density and satisfying chew. As a grocery store purchase of licorice, I prefer Good and Plenty, but if you put Red Vines Black Licorice in front of me, I'll definitely eat it. Rating: 6 out of 10 So that brings me to the truly original product that American Licorice makes: Original Snaps. I'd never had them until I started the blog. I picked them up two years ago to try and found the bag was so horribly stale that it wouldn't have been fair. So again with full warning this time that National Licorice Day was approaching, I picked up another bag. It's mind boggling. I don't even know where to begin with how confused, anxious and actually angry these make me. First, I opened the bag and it smelled like sweet musk. Yes. Like the Australian Musk Lollies. And I know this smell because I recently bought a bag. At first I thought I was crazy. I've had smell hallucinations and I've heard that simply coloring a food one way will make someone expect that flavor, so maybe I was just having some sort of synapse malfunction. But it's been a full week and I've checked with others. The reaction to the smell ranges from "It smells like my grandmother's purse" to "that's like a bad candle shop." None of it gets better. The colors are odd, like slightly bleached by the sun or perhaps rinsed in the colander with some fresh veggies and they've run. The texture is like eating surgical tubing ... that's been sitting next to leaking perfume samples for several months. They candy is made of little tubes of a similar wheat-based licorice vine (no twist to it) that is then coated on the outside with a candy shell (I can't call it crunchy, only colorful). After chewing a bit the flavor does kind of warm up, after the musk has gone away it's a little bit like licorice, but lacking the anise punch and the deep earthy molasses flavors. The American Licorice Company explains them this way: Maybe it's just because I don't like musk. But someone must like these candies or they wouldn't be making them for those rabid fans. Or maybe people just use them for craft projects. They might make some decent kid-safe chunky beads for stringing on some embroidery thread. I just ... don't know what else ... to write about them. I can only assume that those people who hate licorice have tasted this and I can't blame them for their hostility towards the stuff. (Go ahead and call me hypocritical for hatin' on this stuff, I can take it.) Rating: 2 out of 10 The Red Vines Giveaway closes on Saturday, April 12th, so enter if you want some! (Don't worry, there will be no Snaps in the winner packages.) Related Candies

Snickers Adventure Bar (Indiana Jones)I was looking forward to this bar when I heard about it at All Candy Expo last September. It was teased, "Satisfy your taste for adventure! Rich chocolate. Crunchy nuts. And a cliffhanger kick of exotic spice and a hint of sweet coconut flavor." That description doesn't sound that gripping, but still a tasty combo. The bars began showing up on store shelves in the past few weeks, along with the other tie-in items like the new color & icons in the Milk Chocolate M&Ms and Peanut M&Ms as well as the Mint Crisp M&Ms. Here's the obligatory and gratuitous cross-section: It looks like a regular Snickers, it has the same milk chocolate coating and two layers inside. The top layer is caramel studded with peanuts and the bottom is a fluffed nougat. There is a faint whiff of coconut, but I'm not getting any chai spices in there. I actually found the Minis first, and found them a little bland. So when I saw the full sized bar, I picked that up too, thinking maybe that would have the promised adventure. Still, all I'm getting is a bit saltier nougat and the coconut flavor mixed into the caramel. It's not bad, but certainly doesn't live up to its name. If you've always wanted a coconut Snickers (and I know a few people mentioned a love of coconut in the Snickers Rockin' Nut Road Ideal Candy Bar question) this might be the bar for you. Of course it may also be a big disappointment for true coconut fans, as there is no actual coconut in there. You might just want to pick up an Almond Joy and smash it on top of a regular Snickers for a better effect (and a true mash up!). While this may have disappointed me (and the Snickers Rockin' Nut Road Bar didn't), I've got to give them props for trying some new things instead of just using the same ingredients in different ways (like the Snickers Nut 'n Butter Crunch) or taking away an element (like the Snickers Xtreme). The package design is a bit better on this one, I think, than the Mint Crisp M&Ms. Don't forget to check out the new colors of M&Ms, too. The Milk Chocolate M&Ms are in a muted color palatte: Red, Brown, Amber and Cream. The Peanut M&Ms also come in Red, Brown, Amber and Cream with the traditional Yellow thrown in. They all have assorted new icons on them, integrated with the letter M in some way. I like the one that's wearing the Indiana Jones hat and the map ordinal. There are also various pyramids and native masks. Some of them feel a bit like a retread of the Pirates of the Caribbean, including the skull. But I guess that's the genre of movie. The Peanut ones rarely have a legible icon on them as well, but hey, that's the hazard with using a real peanut center. All of the Indiana Jones tie in Mars products are available in stores now. I found mine at CVS and Walgreen's. I don't think many folks are excited about the Adventure Bar. Check out reviews by Sera at Candy Addict and Rebecca at Sugar Hog. Related Candies

This rug is absolutely gorgeous. Well made, and the colors are just as seen in the photos. I couldn't be more pleased. What a deal/steal
See above. Attempting to reach the minimum 50 character limit
Love the rug. It looks exactly like the photo. It looks great in our living room. Sure it sheds some but I have other wool rugs in the house so I was expecting this, that is just the nature of wool rugs. It is thick and comfortable to sit and lie down on. I am very pleased with this purchase not to mention the convenience of having it delivered to the house rather than trying to tie it to the roof of my car!
I usually do not write reviews but on overstock I appreciate the comments before purchasing so here goes... The rug looks great, true to colors and feels plush. I was worried that it was going to shed a lot, but it doesn't. It's a little wrinkled from packaging but I'm sure that will settle down with time. This is a great looking rug!
I absolutely love this rug. It's just gorgeous. Every time I walk by my dining room I stare at it because it is so lovely.

WASHINGTON (AP) - By day's end, the Pentagon could have some new guidelines on gays in the military.
A judge last week told the military to stop enforcing "don't ask, don't tell" -- prompting the Pentagon to tell recruiters to accept applications from gays. But now, an appeals court has restored the ban on gays serving openly -- at least, for now. The Pentagon says it's working to come up with new guidelines. Defense Department spokesman Col. Dave Lapan says he expects the guidelines be announced later in the day.
Yesterday's appeals cxourt ruling means the military could at least temporarily return to its policy banning gays and lesbians from serving openly, while the courts continue to consider the question.

RCB living on a prayer
Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Chennai Super Kings
4 pm M Chinnaswamy Stadium Bangalore
Royal Challengers Bangalore have their task for Saturday night cut for them, they must beat the Chennai Super Kings by a big margin at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
That leaves them hoping the Sunrisers Hyderabad lose their final fixture against Kolkata.
SRH lead RCB by 2 points at 18 and both teams have a game in hand which is why SRH could go through even if RCB thrash Chennai by a huge margin.
Chennai's Michael Hussey has been consistently on Chris Gayle's tail chasing the Orange Cap while Dwayne Bravo has mostly led the battle for the Purple Cap. MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina and Mohit Sharma have been in good form for the team while almost everyone else has contributed, making the team a dangerous one without any apparent weak links.
But Shane Watson showed how an aggressive approach could throw the Chennai bowlers out of rhythm. Chris Gayle must dominate R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja instead of playing them out, the go slow approach has seen RCB end 20-30 runs short in the two previous games. Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers too will be expected to make statements with the bat in the crunch game. Moises Henriques may make way for Ravi Rampaul or Muttiah Muralitharan could make a straight swap but RCB need the pace and bounce of the Trinidadian to rush Chennai's Indian batting trio of Murali Vijay, Suresh Raina and S Badrinath.
Virat Kohli must decide whether to continue with Pujara as Gayle's partner at the top or put the more aggressive KL Rahul there and let Pujara be a rebuilder. Kartik Murali's bowling was missed against Punjab and he too may return to the side to face Chennai.
Chennai could however play a rather different side to their normal one, having been assured of a top 2 finish thanks to Rajasthan's loss at Hyderabad. It remains important that RCB get the best XI on the field and get those 2 points to go through to the playoffs.
Zaheer Khan, Vinay Kumar and Jaydev Unadkat had a collectively terrible day against Adam Gilchrist but the latter two especially will want to not let that blight what has been a good tournament for them. The sustained pressure that Mumbai had applied on Chennai will inspire them.
From topping the tables in the early part of the tournament to an extended horror away stretch, RCB have seen extremes in this tournament, even playing 2 Super Over finishes. Once again, all the work of the past two months comes down to the result of this one game. If they win this, they are still only alive till Sunday night. It's RCB's move and there are a lot of people waiting to be proved wrong by the team.
