Mt. McKinley: Van Deventer & Team Carry Heavy Loads to 9,600' Camp
Posted by: Pete Van Deventer, Geoff Schellens, Robby Young | June 23, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount McKinley
Elevation: 9,600'
Saturday, June 22nd, 2013
Greetings from Pete, Geoff, Robby and Team,
Under cool temperatures and partly sunny skies, we moved uphill again this morning from our camp at 7,600' to 9,600'. The slopes of Ski Hill offered up our first significant climb of the expedition given our full loads weighing down our packs and our sleds. After building camp at 9,600', we continued to lighten our loads and fill our bellies by feasting on soups and Tasty Bite delicacies, followed by some hot beverages and storytelling. Our team is feeling strong and weather looks accommodating for a move to 11,000' camp tomorrow morning, where we'll finally post up for some rest and acclimatization.

Gail, We are eating bacon and thinking of you. Moist bacon. Jasper wants to know if you get to eat cheese when you climb and if so, is it frozen cheese?

I invited Richard Branson to join you on the South Pole expedition. Good news, Karen said if he says yes, then I can go. Bad news, last time I went camping I complained of the heat. Good news again, that won't be an issue at the pole. OK, stop smiling and stay focused, safe and enjoy a succesful climb.
PS: Can you imagine if Branson says yes? WOW

Tommy, it's wonderful to hear how well everything is going! I don't think I would be alone in saying I wish I was there with you! Tim, Brian, and Milo, we all wish we were there sharing in the experience! I know that we will one day! I pray for good weather and great progress today. Your strength gives strength! Thank you! Much love and blessings from New York!

One of the current research endeavors in international environmental politics is understanding the link between democracy and international environmental protection. Scholars in the field seek to identify the international and domestic factors that increase state commitment to international environmental treaties and agreements. Counter to the traditional literature on international environmental commitment, this paper reconceptualizes both traditional and alternative theories in order to identify domestic institutional factors that may increase state cooperation with international environmental agreements. In particular, this study posits that democratic governments in comparison to authoritarian governments increase state compliance with international environmental agreements; however, there may be domestic environmental conditions, such as limited access to clean water that may constrain democracies in participating in international environmental agreements. This study presents a quantitative analysis measuring the effects of democracy on state compliance behaviors with international environmental agreements. The results of the study provide support for an alternative bottom-up theoretical framework focusing on domestic environmental politics in addressing international environmental agreements.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewSuper Bouncing, also known as Super Jumping, is a Halo 2 glitch that allows players to reach previously inaccessible areas of various multiplayer maps. The glitch is a result of the game's Havok physics engine reacting to "holes" in the geometry of several multiplayer maps. When a player encounters a small gap in a map's geometry that the game does not recognize as a legitimate pit-fall, the Havok engine attempts to prevent the player from "falling through" the geometry. The result of this over-compensation by the Havok engine was that the player was "bounced" to enormous heights, allowing them to access ledges and geometry outside the normal boundaries of play.Use in MatchmakingA view from the top of "small tower" on Ascension.Players often used the glitch when playing Ranked Matchmaking games to gain an unfair advantage over the opposing team, since they could escape the natural boundaries of the map to hide or attack the opponent from an unexpected angle. The glitch was especially popular in the Team Snipers playlist, as players who "bounced" outside of the boundaries of the map could easily shoot unsuspecting opponents down on the ground. The most common and widely-known Super Bounces were located on the Halo 2 maps Lockout, Ascension, Headlong, Turf, Sanctuary, Warlock, Zanzibar, and Burial Mounds.Executing the GlitchSuper Bounces are most commonly completed through a player crouch walking under a short barrier or wall (usually one that, should the player release the crouch button, the in-game model will be forced to remain crouching due to the geometry) and then jumping from a small height onto a specific place on a floor or railing. These "bounce points" are not clearly marked, as super bouncing is not an intentional gameplay element, meaning that all of the well-known existing super bounce locations were discovered by accident, or player trial and error.

Brach's Fiesta Malted Milk EggsOne of the classic elements of Easter candy is the fact that it's egg shaped and isn't usually individually wrapped. This nestling quality applies to jelly beans and marshmallow eggs (the candy shell version). Back in 2007 I reviewed the pastel version of Brach's Fiesta Eggs. The only difference between the original review and this one is that these are white with speckles and those were pastels. What prompted me to pick them up again is the fact that so many readers were commenting on the original review because Brach's seems to have changed their formula. When I first reviewed the eggs Brach's was owned by Barry Callebaut, a global chocolate giant based in Switzerland. In late 2007, Callebaut sold the American candy company to Farley's & Sathers of Minnesota. In the Callebaut days I was hoping that they'd make the chocolate products from Brach's better. In the Farley's & Sathers days, I'm just hoping that the chocolate products stay real chocolate instead of going to some mockolate substitute like they did with the bulk malted milk balls. (Supposedly they went back to the real chocolate coating, but I have yet to find them in stores, they angered so many people I'm guessing the buyers for the chain stores are afraid of them.) I prefer the white eggs because they have less of the artificial colorings on the shell. Those can sometimes interfere with the desirable flavors. (Red is a problem for me often.) The eggs are large. Some are over an inch tall though others are as small as 2/3 of an inch. They sound substantial and clack and clunk together well. All were nicely shaped and had no cracks or broken spots. The shells are thick and crunchy but the chocolate layer beneath is rather thin and unremarkable. The chocolate is sweet and doesn't taste like much at all, probably more like malt than chocolate. It's a little grainy and fudgy so it's hard to say that it's real except for the fact that the label tells me it is. The center is what I'm after though, the crisp malted milk center. It's a fine malt, not terribly grain with a moderate level of malty-ness. It's not overly sweet or salty ... it could use just a little more punch for me, especially since the shell is so sweet. I can't argue with the construction, my only real complaint is that the chocolate is so lackluster, and perhaps even out of balance. With better chocolate that layer could be thicker. As far as widely available Malted Milk Eggs for Easter, these beat out the Necco Mighty Malts and Whoppers Robin's Eggs in my book. But that's not much of a recommendation. I'm picky about my malted milk balls in the sense that I want specific ratios, texture of the center and high density of malt, but I'm not so picky that I won't finish any malted milk ball placed in front of me.

Trader Joe's Milk Chocolate Malted Milk Eggs (Plus a Bonus)A good malted milk ball is hard to find. Even worse, the good ones are hard to get. I don't know why I expect to get some tasty malted milk at my nearest drug store or grocery, perhaps it's because so many other quality candies are available these days. But the mass-produced malted milk balls have been getting worse and worse while the gourmet styles seem to have branched out into novelty flavor combinations to the point that the classic is hardly available. There is a season for malted milk balls and it's Easter. Trader Joe's has a milk carton package of Milk Chocolate Malted Milk Eggs that gave me hope. I also loved the price: $2.49 for 10 ounces of real chocolate malt balls. The carton is cute, it's the same base dimensions as a half gallon, but obviously shorter (I'm guessing it'd hold a quart). It's 10 ounces of beefy malted milk eggs made with real milk chocolate. They lack the outer candy coating that most Easter varieties have, but that's not the end of the world. It's the center and the chocolate that count. These eggs are large, about the size of a shelled pecan. They're glossy and consistent. When I stick my nose into the spout of the carton they certainly smell like a sweet chocolate malt. I think they have the perfect ratio of malt center to chocolate coating, so that's a good start. The chocolate is soft but not gummy and though there's a glaze on the outside (to keep them from sticking together) it doesn't make the chocolate waxy. But then there's the center. The center is a good density - not too dense so that it feels like I'm eating styrofoam insulation and not too flaky so it feels like I'm eating yeast sprinkles. It's crisp and has a mild malty and milky flavor ... but it also tastes like smoke to me. It's as if all the air bubbles have some sort of burning plastic smoke trapped in them. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I just can't get over it. I've tried, and I figure the fact that I've had these for about 10 days and haven't finished them is a sign. I might pick them up again (or have you tried them?) but since they're seasonal I might just let it go. No sense falling in love with something that's not going to be around. Bonus Review: Naked Malted Milk Ball Centers I've often lamented the fact that I can't just eat the center of the malted milk balls. After all, I don't need the chocolate, that's not what attracts me to them. So after years of looking I found a place online (via some helpful readers) that sells the uncoated malted milk ball centers. I ordered two one pound bags from Nuts Online. (The shipping got a little screwed up and I had to wait ten days to get them, apparently there was some sort of snow storm back on the Eastern Seaboard in February, they really should have said something in the papers about it.) These are quite lovely. They're crispy and dissolve quickly on the tongue. The malt flavors are intense and well rounded with a bit of a yeasty note and a little salt. I went through a one pound bag in the matter of a week. I still have a second bag that I'm hanging onto for those severe cravings that come after Easter. They're probably great for baking or desserts. They're definitely good for munching. I can see them as a great movie treat because they're not too sweet. Like most crispy candies you have to be very careful not to leave them out in humid conditions, they deflate and get tacky (I think we've all gotten the malted milk ball that's just a gooey puddle inside.)

Whoppers Reese's Peanut Butter Flavored CandyLast year Hershey's introduced some new Whoppers, twists on the classic chocolate covered malted milk ball (well, in the case of Whoppers, they're mockolate). For some reason my area in Southern California is a vast maltless wasteland, so I had to pick up these Reese's Peanut Butter version of Whoppers in Dublin, CA as I returned from the Bay Area last weekend. I love the use of the little milk cartons for Whoppers (and Milk Duds, though sadly those have turned mockolate as well), it's a great way to package a product to stand up, be dispensed and then closed. The new Whoppers Reese's Peanut Butter Flavored Candy are basically a peanut butter confectionery coating made of defatted peanuts & partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. (Think of the inside of Reese's Pieces.) The inside of the Whoppers is just as I'd hoped, a light honeycomb crisp with a malty flavor. Whoppers are a bit smaller than the usual malted milk balls found in bulk bins, which are usually about the diameter of a quarter. These little Whoppers (hard to call them that when I've just said that they're small, now isn't it) are about the size of a hazelnut. The outside is a little waxy, but definitely peanutty. It's not terribly sweet and does eventually do something akin to melting. But the best part is the crumbly, sweet and malty center. It's a nice addition to the line, but I think I'll stick with the Trader Joe's version (see this post from June 4 Bellies) which is not only bigger but has real milk chocolate on top of that. But if I were to stumble across these as an option at the movies, I'd certainly go for it, the combo with popcorn would be pretty fabulous. Related Candies

BonBonBars: Malt Ganache & ScotchI've been following Nina Wanat's blog Sweet Napa for a couple of years now. Mostly because she was writing about making gourmet candy bars but the post that really got me was her details of making a Malted Caramel Bar. If I wasn't already married, I'd be engaged to the recipe for that bar! I was further excited when I saw that she'd moved to Los Angeles ... just within my reach. Oh, so close. And finally, at the beginning of December she launched her company, called BonBonBar and webstore with her first gourmet candy bar creations. These are not knock-offs of consumer bars, these are unique combination bars with fresh ingredients. So fresh that it's recommended that you eat your bars within two weeks of them leaving the kitchen. I vacillated on whether or not to try them. (I know, it sounds weird.) The bars are not cheap, at $5 each the price makes me feel like I'm promised a transcendent experience. But she had only two items ... the Malted Ganache & Shortbread Bar (slightly different than the initial malt bar that caught my attention) and a Caramel Nut Bar which sounded fabulous all except for the walnuts. (Drat!) So I thought if I was going to go through the trouble of ordering, I should get an assortment ... I didn't want to judge this nacent company on a single product. Luckily I read that she was going to add a Valentines item (and I even voted on her blog) ... a Single Malt Scotch Bar. I put my order in as soon as I saw it in her webstore. She even had a cool Valentine's sampler package that included all of her bars: 3 Scotch, one Milk Malt and one Dark Malt plus the Caramel Nut Bar. I made a request to swap out the walnut-laden Caramel Nut Bar with another Dark Malt and they were made to order over the weekend. Since we're both in Los Angeles, it took only a day for the package to get here! (And of course the cool weather meant that they were in perfect conditions ... I admit that I get very nervous about chocolate deliveries, even in February.) When I opened the box I though, this is it? The box is so teensy! But hefty, as I found when I picked it up. Inside were two layers, the top layer had the three Scotch Bars and the bottom layer had the three Malt Bars. (It's like she planned out all these sizes fitting into things or something ... genius!) The bars are each packaged in their own cellulose sleeve with a simple label. Through the clear plastic it's evident that they're perfectly formed, that the enrobing is well tempered. The only thing missing was the smell. Honestly, I was happy to see that the bars were enrobed. Some of Nina's earlier exploits on her blog showed molded bars, which are necessary with certain ingredients, but I prefer an enrobed bar, there's something about the way the chocolate sits on the center, the way that it falls into place, like a blanket instead of walls. Malt Candy Bar comes in both milk and dark chocolate and features a malt ganache on a crunchy butter shortbread all covered in chocolate. (1.6 ounces) Biting into the narrow bar, the ganache is soft and yields quickly until I got to the dense and buttery shortbread. Crispy, crumbly. The mix of flavors the immediate hit of dark malt, the cookie and the distinct saltiness ... it was all quite dreamy. This is what I always wished a Twix would be, super smooth milk chocolate, strong cookie flavor ... well in this case instead of caramel it's a ganache. I tried both the dark and the milk chocolate varieties, and to be honest, I prefer the milk. I think milk chocolate and malt are just natural companions. Also, because the ganache and shortbread are a bit on the salty-sweet side, the milk chocolate's sweetness really balances it all out. Single Malt Scotch Candy Bar features a scotch ganache and chewy caramel dipped in dark chocolate with a little sprinkle of salt. (1.5 ounces) In this bar the caramel is on top and the ganache is the base. Upon first bite, the caramel is the perfect consistency of stringy and smooth but not too sweet. The first flavor is of a dark single malt scotch ... it's kind of like tobacco and leather with that ultra-buttery base of deep chocolate truffle ganache. The chocolate shell is sprinkled with a little flaked salt, so it gave little additional hits of salt to the otherwise incredibly consistent experience. The dark chocolate shell is creamy and not too dry or chalky for the rest of the bar. Just to check my own opinion (and the fact that I still had three bars and that ticking clock of freshness) I took two bars over to the neighbor's last night (it was just Robin, Amy's out of town and will probably be quite mad to miss this as she's the one I usually give the terrible candy to). Robin said, "This is one of the best things you have ever given me to try." (The other thing that she really liked was the Nutpatch Nougat, so you know she has great taste.) For the record, Nina did offer me free samples, but I really wanted the whole experience of knowing that I just ate a $5 candy bar so that I could report it authentically here. This is one of the reasons I didn't have an early review like Serious Eats and Candy Addict (who both loved it too!). I did try a bite of the Malt Bar at the Fancy Food Show last month, as Chuck Siegel of Charles Chocolates had just met up with Nina and I guess Chuck remembered my prediliction for malt and shared. So it's not like I was going into this order completely on trust & faith in my fellow bloggers. Basically, they're not candy bars at fine boxed chocolate prices. They're fine chocolates in bar format ... which is why they're named BonBonBar. Though $5 a bar sounds like a lot, the price per pound is about $51, which is on par with most other fine chocolatier. (And honestly, if these were in little bon bon sizes and I was in some haut chocolatier, I wouldn't flinch at that price.) Right now you have to order online if you want some (her list of stores is rather short at the moment). Many of her ingredients are organic and all are all natural (no high fructose corn sweetener either). It's not an everyday treat, but if I was given this set for Valentine's Day, I'd know someone loved me. Related Candies

Whoppers Milkshake StrawberryBack when I could eat all the dairy I wanted, I loved milkshakes. Thick, chunky milkshakes with lots of malted milk in them. I prefered chocolate shakes, but my second favorite was strawberry. There's something about the creaminess of ice cream and the fresh taste of strawberries and then that extra dark kick of malt that got my tastebuds-a-tingling. But I admit that I didn't just swoop into the nearest store and pick up the new Whoppers Strawberry Milkshake. I mean, it's not like Whoppers are fantastic to begin with, they have that greasy, waxy fake chocolate on what is an otherwise decent malt ball (see review of the candy coated holiday version). But I figured if I was going to eat fake chocolate, it may as well be fake strawberry confection. I admit they smelled nice. Kind of like summer & shortcake, cotton candy & carnival midways. And they are quite pretty. Instead of an unnatural fuschia as I thought they might be from the image on the box, they were actually a lovely soft pinkish/peach color. The candy coating was a little waxy, but sweet and had a nice creamy but mild strawberry flavor to it. No tartness that I'd associate with the berry which is often present in ice cream that uses berry pieces. The malt center is crisp and mellow, it doesn't have a super-strong malt hit, but still a very nice salty counterpart to the sugary outside. I wish they used a real white chocolate compound with real cocoa butter in them, but Hershey's is having other troubles and can't be bothered with quality at the moment. But for what they had to work with and for 99 cents, they came up with a pretty good item here that actually delivers what they say on the package. They're a bit fattier than the Sno-Balls I had over Christmas (I haven't compared them to Robin's Eggs, which haven't hit the stores yet) so I'll probably stick to the sugar shell ones if I need a cheap malt fix and can't fine real milk chocolate covered ones. Whoppers has also introduced a Reese's Peanut Butter themed one. But to be honest, I think that a chocolate malt ball is just fine the way it is. Related Candies

Whoppers Sno-BallsSometimes I really want some malted milk balls. I've never liked Whoppers much though, the mockolate coating simply ruins it for me. On the other hand, their Robin's Eggs at Easter are pretty good. The mockolate layer is minimized by being far thinner, covered in a hard candy shell and of course a larger center for more malt. Those sorts of candy coated malted milk balls used to be limited to Easter availability, but like many other items that are becoming more common for the Christmas holiday season (Cadbury Mini Eggs & Creme Eggs), Whoppers has their Sno-Balls. These were freakishly cheap, on sale for $2.00 for a 17 ounce bag, so I really am in no position to complain about anything about them. But I will. First, on the package there's a penguin in front of an igloo. There's also a polar bear and walrus ... which is fine, they're arctic animals. The penguin, however, is a southern hemisphere animal. Why not just put a lion on there or a kangaroo? Second, mockolate. Why, oh why, can't Hershey's put some real chocolate on here? It's not even that much of a chocolatey coating here. The good thing, though, is that the Sno-Balls have less fat in them than regular Whoppers. A 41 gram serving of Whoppers has 7 grams of fat ... all of them saturated. The Sno-Balls have 5 grams of fat, 4.5 grams of them are saturated. Okay, still not great, especially when it's coming from Partially Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil. (Honestly, I can't figure out how they both have the same 180 calories per serving though with 30% less fat in the Sno-Balls. Fat is twice as caloric as carbs or protein ... maybe there's more fiber in regular Whoppers?) But all that ranting aside, these are quite cute. The white spheres are speckled to various degrees with red and green. The crackly candy shell has a thin layer of mockolate below it. Both have a soft, cool effect on the tongue. The malt center is dense and crispy. It doesn't have a huge malt or salt punch like some others, but a nice texture that melts in the mouth well. I'd love it if they were a little bigger so I'd get more of the malt proportion I crave. What's particularly nice about these over the Robin's Eggs is that there's less artificial coloring. I never cared for the pink Robin's Eggs because they taste bitter to me. In this assortment there is no bad egg. I've been eating them for a couple of days, and as long as I don't think about how much I'd like them to be Chocolate Covered Malted Milk Balls, well, we're getting along fine. Related Candies

Brach's Fiesta EggsThe full name on these is Brach's Pastel Fiesta Malted Milk Eggs which of course made me wonder if they have another product that is perhaps primary colors or just black and white. Malted milk eggs at Easter were a particular favorite of mine. They were one of those interactive candies, you can lick the shell and then color your lips with the coral pink or white chalky edible makeup. (That white lipstick was quite the look when I was very little.) Now of course I'm much more interested in the "real milk chocolate" part of the wrapper. Brach's has been owned by Barry Callebaut since 2003, so maybe they were teaching Brach's a thing or two about chocolate. They don't need to be taught how to make boiled sugar candy, they do that just fine. The Fiesta Eggs are big and bold. They make a satisfying clacking sound in the bag when you roll them around. They can be eaten whole (or applied liberally over the face) but I prefer to bite them in half and have a look. I don't know what I expect to find, as it has always been the same ... malt center, chocolate layer and then hard colored shell. But you never know! (Actually, I've eaten very old malt balls before and every once in a while I've gotten ones with "melted" centers but shells that are intact or just a little dented.) Fiesta Eggs smell like Easter. They're sweet and have a slight vanilla hint to them. This bag was very fresh, the shells were super crisp and the centers were light and airy. Unlike the normal chocolate covered malt balls, the Fiesta Egg is more about the combination of the texture of the hard sugar shell and the light crunch of the malted center. The chocolate layer provides a little bit of a creamy texture, but not much flavor. In the Brach's chocolate, as far as I can tell, is too too sweet. These still aren't my ultimate malted egg. I'm not sure I've found it yet. I wasn't blown away by the Jelly Belly ones either and I picked up some more vibrant colored ones (but I don't know the brand) a the Sweet Factory a few weeks ago in the bulk bins. They tasted too much like food coloring and not enough like malt. Perhaps such a candy doesn't exist. But you can be sure that I'm going to finish these! How do I look with lilac lipstick? UPDATE: 3/30/2011 - The pastel ones are hard to find, but I did run across a white version. They say they're made with real milk chocolate, but they're still not very chocolatey. UPDATE 3/2/2012: Another newer version has appeared on store shelves. They are much, much larger, but have a more flavorful malt center and perhaps better chocolate. Check out the new review here.

Jelly Belly Deluxe Easter MixI found a great new candy store over the weekend. At the suggestion of a reader (thannks Jenny!) I journeyed to City of Commerce to visit Garvey Nut & Candy. It's a warehouse, mostly wholesale, but they also sell retail. The bulk (and I mean bulk) of their products are sold in full cases, but it's cash & carry, so no shipping costs incurred. They had a small selection of items that were sold from open boxes. Just about all of it was from their Easter inventory. At FANTASTIC prices. One of the finds was the Jelly Belly Deluxe Easter Mix ... at $2.35 for a 9 ounce bag, it's unheard of. The Jelly Belly online sells the same bag for $4.99 (in a prettier store, I'll admit). If you're planning a big party or wedding and live in the LA area, this might be just the place for you. High end chocolates and mints to bulk wrapped candies to nuts and nut mixes. For the Easter goodies they had the large packages of Peeps of all kinds for 99 cents, jelly beans (all sorts of Jelly Belly seasonal products), deluxe chocolate eggs (fudge, peanut butter, vanilla), baskets, tins and foil eggs by the kilo (some by Madelaine, which are quite tasty). You may have to ask them for prices on many items and you may need help finding things. (Their website isn't very good, so don't bother.) They have funky hours too: 8AM - 4:30PM on weekdays and Saturday 9-2 (until Easter, then they're closed on Saturdays until August). I'll probably head back down there for a look at their Halloween goodies in the fall. Garvey Nut & Candy Okay, enough of that, you came here for some candy, didn't you? The Deluxe Easter Mix contains assorted pastel Jelly Bellys, bunny corn, mellocremes, gummi eggs and malted chocolate eggs. (It's also supposed to contain chocolate eggs, but I picked through the bags to find one that had more malted eggs ... which I promptly ate. If you want a full account of them, check out Sera's review at Candy Addict.) The bulk of the mix seemed to be populated by these friendly fellows: Mellocremes. (Click on the photo for the full shape assortment.) They're flavored lightly: grape, lemon, lime, strawberry and vanilla. The flavors are light (especially light for a company that built itself on extra flavor). I didn't care for lime at all, but the lemon and strawberry were quite nice. I don't know which color was supposed to be vanilla (maybe there are white ones, I didn't have any in my mix). This is the Bunny Corn, and it's pretty much the same recipe as the Mellocreme but a different shape. They tend to be a little firmer and as you might guess, they're just like Candy Corn. They're not flavored. If the Mellocremes in white taste like this, I might be more fond of them. I rather like candy corn, in small doses. There are only two colors on these, which seemed a little skimpy. Candy Corn usually has three colors (orange, yellow and white). But I guess Bunnies travel light. The Jelly Belly website calls these Orange Creme Non-Pareil Eggs, which doesn't really sound like much fun. So I'm going to call them Crunchy Gummi Eggs. They're super-cute, with pastel colored crunchy spheres (non-pareils) on the outside and a tangy orange gummi on the inside. They're larger than a jelly bean, about the size of a foil wrapped chocolate egg that you can often find in Easter baskets. They're much like the Crunchy Bears I reviewed a while back, except these only come in orange, which is fine by me. The gummi is super-soft and the crunchy coating gives it some fun ... it's the crunchiest thing in the bag. Jelly Belly also makes a slightly related product with the Champagne Bubbles and Berries. There were also some Jelly Belly scattered in, they came in Berry Blue, Cantaloupe, Cotton Candy, Island Punch, Lemon, Lemon Lime, Pi?a Colada, Pink Grapefruit, and looked oh-so-coordinated with everything else. (I picked out all the pink grapefruit while shooting the photos.) Overall the mix was very pretty, and attractiveness is important with holiday candy. But I wasn't really that keen on some of the elements (the Mellocremes, especially). It was a good introduction to the whole line of Easter treats, so now I know what to buy in a solo bag - the Orange Creme Non-Pareil Eggs. At normal mortal prices of $4.99 a bag, I'm not that wild about the whole shebang (so they get a 6 out of 10) as a sub-$2.50 find, they're a 7 out of 10.
Meticulously photographed and documented reviews of candy from around the world. And the occasional other sweet adventures. Open your mouth, expand your mind.

tions in temperature, we have fit the individual data points of Figure 3 to three additional smoothing splines of successively greater stiffness (Figure 4, panel 1), chosen to produce increasing degrees of low-pass filtering of the monthly data (Enting, 1987). The choices were subjective, but are not critical to the outcome, because distinct decadal patterns can be produced over a considerable range of stiffnesses. These three spline fits were run on both monthly and yearly averaged data, and the resulting curves showed essentially no difference. The stiffest spline (the curve labeled ''1") shows only a tendency for global air temperature to rise irregularly since 1855. The two looser splines (curves "2" and "3"), whose difference is shown in panel 2, are nearly identical to the spline curves whose difference produced the approximately decadal band-pass of temperature that is shown in Figure 1. The difference between curves " 1" and "2" (Figure 4, panel 3) approximates a band-pass centered near 20 years, while the difference between curves "1 " and "3" (Figure 4, panel 4) approximates a broader band-pass showing temperature fluctuations on both decadal and bidecadal time scales.
To examine further the spectral character of the global temperature record of Jones and co-workers, we have computed a series of spectra of their record by the maximum entropy method (MEM) (Press et al., 1989). This method of spectral analysis includes both the Thomson multitaper method and the fast fourier transform (FFT) method. Its results are particularly suitable for trying to resolve closely spaced frequencies (Press et al., 1989; Berger et al., 1990). We afterwards established the amplitudes and phases of the identified spectral peaks by least-squares fits of sinusoidal functions, since the maximum entropy method, as discussed by Sonett (1983), is not quantitatively reliable with respect to amplitudes and cannot establish phase relationships.

With its beautiful solid oak and copper bars, tasteful lighting and leather chairs and banquettes, Gotham Comedy Club looks more like a lounge than a laugh factory. And that's sort of the idea. Founded by two comedians who were eager to add elegance to the herd-em-in, get-em-out, two-drink-minimum mentality of traditional comedy clubs, Gotham succeeds in fitting in with its fine, Flatiron District neighbors. Although the digs may be fancier, Gotham is first and foremost a comedy club and making people laugh (as well as drinkthere's still a minimum) remains its top priority. After spending time in the well-appointed vintage lounge, head upstairs to the main performance room, where regulars like the slyly funny Jim Gaffigan and the quietly cutting Todd Barry keep the room packed.
NoteThere is a two-drink minimum for all shows.
Picnics with a view, roller-skating nostalgia, and a party for gay headbangers.

0% APR Credit CardsThe primary benefit of a 0% APR credit card is the introductory 0% APR interest rate. This rate is available anywhere from 6 to 18 months or more from when the credit card account is opened. Depending on the card offer, it will be applied to new purchases, balance transfers or both. Compare 0% credit cards from our partners and apply online.
0 percent credit cards: a sweet deal if played rightA credit card with an introductory 0 percent APR is one of the best deals in personal finance. It's also one of the most important to manage properly. Used wisely, you can pay for large purchases or pay down existing credit card debt over time with bite-sized, interest-free monthly payments. Used poorly, however, and you'll find yourself making interest payments on a balance sooner than you expected. The trick in taking advantage of these credit card offers successfully is to remember two things: They're temporary and conditional. At heart, a 0 percent interest rate is only a promotion, offered to new cardholders during an introductory period of anywhere from six months to 18 months, in general. Afterward, the interest rate will kick in on any remaining balance. Also, the interest-free promotion is conditional on good behavior -- being consistent in making your monthly payments on time. If you're late, the interest-free period can expire prematurely and you'll be faced with unexpected interest payments. Be sure to understand exactly how much and by when you need to make payments to take full advantage of the 0 percent offer. The first step in choosing a 0 percent APR credit card is to look at the offer carefully, and also look beyond the promotion. First, check how long the introductory rate (sometimes called the "intro rate" or "teaser rate") will last. Then, know your "go-to rate" -- the rate after the introductory period. You want the longest possible introductory period and the lowest possible go-to rate. If you plan to transfer an existing credit card balance to the new card, ask about balance transfer fees, which generally run 3 to 5 percent of the balance transferred. It used to be common for balance transfer fees to be capped, but that has become a rarity in today's market. Finally, consider the benefits of using card, such as the potential to earn free airline miles, cash back or savings on merchandise. Once you own the card, be sure to plan ahead before making any large purchase. (Remember, you want to pay off your balance before the introductory period ends). Use a debt payoff calculator to see how much you'll need to pay each month on your balance to retire the debt before the introductory period ends -- and be sure you can afford it. Since paying on time is so critical, also consider setting up automatic monthly payments on your balance to avoid being late. Interest-free borrowing is a great deal for both first-time and existing cardholders. Just proceed carefully.

KIEV, Ukraine - Two Ukrainian military fighter jets have been shot down in the east, according to the country's Defense Ministry.
The Sukhoi-25 fighters were shot down 1:30 p.m. local time Wednesday over an area called Savur Mogila.
Defense Ministry spokesman Oleksiy Dmitrashkovsky says the planes may have been carrying up to two crew members each.

Hahaha, good call! Though you are going to want to punch me in the face for saying this. You are probably going to want to invest in the Tesla bindings by next season. They are a serious upgrade. Of course the current crampons don't work with that system, so you'll need to buy another set. Now I've got four sets of crampons. Anyone want a Voile set of crampons? I'll sell them to you for a ridiculously cheap price...

Honestly I've been actually avoiding checking the Tesla system out in person because I KNOW I'll have to buy them on the spot haha. If I upgrade next season, I'll buy the whole binding not just the upgrade kit so I can sell the whole package.

Yeah, buy the whole binding. You need to get the touring plates and brackets for it anyway. LT set up will not work with it. It is a complete redesign, and damn is it a great upgrade. Changing over is just that much quicker when you don't have to fiddle with pins. Touring is much improved too. Especially on the sketchy side hilling type of terrain. The extra wide touring brackets give a lot more support. I am having a little trouble with the new design. It is more from touring for over a decade with the riser on the board instead of under the binding than anything. I think I have the best way to deploy and raise them back up figured out, but only time will tell.

"I've been to schools way out in the country where the science budget is $500 a year," says Fred Byers, a retired teacher who now sells safety equipment for Fisher Scientific. "Is that enough to make sure there's enough safety goggles in the room? Not in my book."
What some students fear most is not the lab setup but their fellow students, according to a recent study by the Clinton Scientific Trust. "One of the main dangers in the lab is silly people," one student said in the survey.
In Madison, Wis., one such student took the antics outside the lab. He stole a flask of mercury from a teacher's desk and poured it into the finger holes of bowling balls at the local alley, creating a mess that cost nearly $250,000 to clean up. A judge ordered the boy and his parents to reimburse that money.
Many science teachers hold back on experiments because of pressure from school officials who fear lawsuits. In Iowa, according to Drake researchers, accidents doubled and lawsuits tripled between 1993 and '96.
At one Michigan school, administrators - in a move that some say amounted to "scientific illiteracy" - drew the blinds during a total eclipse of the sun, not allowing students to see it because of the "bad light" that could damage their eyes. While damage can indeed stem from improper viewing of an eclipse, Mr. Gallagher says eclipses can be viewed safely, and they provide magnificent teaching moments.
Mike Williams, a middle school teacher from Lee County, N.C., says he recently stayed away from a heredity experiment after a colleague warned him about taking blood from students.
"Principals tell us to make sure we don't get sued, yet the state wants us to do more hands-on science," Mr. Williams says. He's considering doing the experiment with "synthetic blood."

Harris County Juvenile Probation authorities eyeing capital murder charge
Houston — The Houston Chronicle is reporting; a Houston man has been charged in connection with the March 1997 fatal shooting of a man in southeast Houston.
The suspect, who was 15 years old at the time of the slaying, is being referred to Harris County Juvenile Probation authorities on a capital murder charge.

As you know, I had recently brought Caitlin to Sydney for Christmas. Mummee was already there in Sydney- Yes, I flew with a 3 yr old alone!
She's been to Sydney once before when she was 2. So for this trip, she still remembered the whole experience of the journey (which is what airlines should pay attention to! It's not just the flight that customers remember- it's the whole experience of the journey!)
So how did I prepare for the journey?
Prepare ahead
If you can help it, book an overnight flight. What follows will explain why.
Deprive them of sleep
To this day Caitlin still takes afternoon naps. On the day of the (night) flight, immerse them in activities during the day so that they don't have a chance for the nap. What follows will explain why.
Check-in early
Get a window seat. Box the toddler in so that they cannot just unbuckle & already be on the aisle.
Hopefully there isn't going to be a send-off party for your journey. Because checking-in early also allows you the time for airport terminal exploration. And do explore: The retailers, the facilities, especially if there are glass elevators in your terminal. It's amazing how many times toddlers like to ride glass elevators. Caitlin kept exclaiming "whoooaaaa" everytime it was going up / down; the tourists in the same lift would find it funny the first time, but of course at the 100th time for Daddee, it had lost its cuteness.
What follows will explain why check-in early.
Don't sit down, keep moving
This is crucial to the above points. What follows will explain why.
Don't enter the boarding gate till you have to
This supports the above point. Once you enter the gate, you have nowhere to go but to sit down.
Be the first ones to board the plane
Two groups of passengers can board early (rather than board according to your seating numbers): Those who can afford first & business class, and those with kids.
Boarding early allows for quicker settling-down. Being the first ones on also allows the crew to notice & make mental notes of you & the toddler. This makes it easier to ask for toddler-favours!
Now, the why if you haven't already figured it out
If you can, arrange for toddler to stretch out
Of course this is quite difficult on full flights. But once the plane starts taxiing, scout around for empty seats to possibly move to. Caitlin is already over 3 feet tall, it will make her sleep a lot easier.
I did all the above on both flights to & from Sydney; where I also managed some snaps of her with the Christmas tree.
She was quite full of anticipation & excitement. This started a few days before when Daddee started creating the buzz. The adventure starts when she starts getting dressed ready for the airport and the flight. "I am going to Australia", she would tell everyone. The experience then includes the KLIA Express train ride to the international airport. She's always loved train rides. Arriving inside the massive structure of the airport, the checking-in, another short ride to the satelites, are all mini-adventures of running around & ahead of Daddee on this great journey. Oh, the travelator also makes for interesting if not somewhat exhausting-for-the-Daddee activity of "let's go again!"
Once settled on the plane, and making Caitlin understand and accept that the jie-jie will only start bringing around the headphones once the plane stops getting higher and higher, I had asked the crew to get me some warm water for her milk feed. Airplane food isn't always very toddler friendly. Depending on what it was, some things she ate, but mostly it was just the bread roll.
From her first flight experience she remembered the inflight entertainment. Still reeling from the ongoing adventure, she insisted on watching something. Note to parents: the headphones provided will be too big for the toddler.
I had to MacGyver-ise something to make the headphones fit her little head. I took the headrest sheet of tissue & folded it a few times to make up for the gap between the top of her head & the headphones.
I think it worked pretty well- she was happy with it.
On the Sydney – KL flight returning home, I did more or less the same things again. on this journey we had a 1-hour stop-over at Brisbane. Caitlin was already wearing out by the time we were due to board back on the (same) plane. When the plane was taxiing on the runway, even before take off, this seasoned traveller was already asleep.
And, she slept all the way to KL. I, however, didn't sleep well not because of tending to her needs (toilet visits, meals, "I can't hear the tv!", "Caitlin come back here!") but because I was concerned about her rolling off the seats in her sleep.
So, if I can do this flying with toddler alone, so can you!
One of the wonderful innocence of toddlers, at least for mine, is their ignorance of differences among people. While she was in Sydney, she saw no difference in the people she met: white, yellow, or black. This innocence was all too apparent at the Australian immigration check point at the airport, when we were leaving the country.
".. And where are you going, sweetie?" asked the officer.
"I am going to Australia!"
Well, we must have made her feel like home, wherever she was!

Welcome home.
Thanks for all the tips. shall remember to get the night flight next time we travel long distance!
Sleep, yes, the traveling parent's bestest friend! My luck, though? The overtired toddler would have meltdown after meltdown that, to an observer, would look like one veerrrry loooonng meltdown. Torture for all!

Blue posts and other WoW news: PTR schedule, layoff rumors are still false {WoW}
Nov 9th 2011 3:24AM @Rialle:
"Since Ghostcrawler was put in charge"?
He hasn't been put in charge of anything for years, and maybe even since 2004, when he first joined the WoW team. He's not the game director, he just oversees the player class and related stuffs team, and he's not the only person ON THAT TEAM. A team's a team; that means they make decisions as a group. He's the one that gets to represent those decisions as the team leader.
People seem to think that just because Greg's one of the more visible game designers at Blizzard in terms of community interaction he can make every decision about WoW arbitrarily himself when in fact he's just one person amongst a number of team lead underlings who all report to a boss above them.
I think Blizzard made plenty of mistakes with Cataclysm; lack of endgame content, too grindy content, bad difficulty curve for heroic 5mans and so on, but for chrissakes, give the guy a break, alright. He doesn't deserve HALF the criticism you people are slinging at him.
BlizzCon 2011: Opening Ceremony Liveblog {WoW}
Oct 21st 2011 1:44PM The card with details about the WoW new expansion panel mentioned NEW RACE.
So there's going to be a new race. Singular.
Pandas are coming to WoW! You heard it here first! :D
Shifting Perspectives: Moonkin abilities to look forward to in the next expansion {WoW}
Oct 17th 2011 1:39PM Blizzard could start balancing out balance AoE by making shrooms cause spellstorm damage like Starsurge instead of nature, and also make an arcane equivalent of Insect Swarm.
I'd like Starsurge to be on a much shorter cooldown also, kind of like hunter's Explosive Shot. It's currently very tedious to go from one eclipse to another, basically it's just spamming one button over and over - particularly solar to lunar, with wrath's very short cast-time and low eclipse power yield.
Eclipse itself is borked of course, even with my modest gear my wraths can crit for 50k during solar, which is just ludicrous, especially in PvP. Burst was the scourge of Wrath PvP, but that's no better this expansion around, melee classes regularly crit for 30+ k per special attack at better gear level which is also ludicrous. My health may be 5-6x higher than it was back in Wrath, but my survivability is just as bad due to damage going up an equal amount.
We were sold the concept during last Blizzcon that healing in instances would mean people being injured most of the time, and our greater health pools would act as buffers against incoming burst damage, but as all the Cataclysm heroics (especially the Zuls) brutally taught players, greater health doesn't mean diddly because while Blizzard may have bumped health by 5x they also upped damage by 10x. Stand in ANY of the Bad Stuff and you take ~70k per second. Sometimes per half-second. Stand in the way of General Umbriss' Blitz attack and you'll get 1-shot. No ifs and no buts, you just die, period, doesn't matter that you have full health or not. And so on.
Shifting Perspectives: Moonkin abilities to look forward to in the next expansion {WoW}
Oct 17th 2011 1:16PM Problem with that however is that different druids value different stats. You can't shift into cat form as a balance specced druid and expect to be able to kill anything around your level, you'll just get smashed into tiny itty bitty pieces. It doesn't work.
Also, fight mechanics are seriously different for a cat and a moonkin. I don't play a cat because I don't particularly enjoy it, and I don't want Blizzard to spend lots of time to make cat form more useful for balance druids. I'd rather they spend that time on BALANCE to make it more useful for balance druids.
WoW Magazine ending with issue 5 {WoW}
Sep 17th 2011 6:13AM Really? You found the magazine that interesting? I haven't even opened issues three and four, I was so put off by the first two issues in that they just recycled info that was already known. Hearing that you have to request refunding by writing (snailmail???), I'm glad I never refreshed my subscription for year two. What a rip-off.
Shifting Perspectives: On the matter of Moonkin Form {WoW}
Aug 26th 2011 4:35PM Removing moonkin form makes about as much sense as removing cat form, or bear form. There'd just be no point in being a balance druid without a corresponding form, we'd be nothing more than yet another mage, or warlock (or heck, elemental shaman).
Let moonkin wear shoulder armor pieces at least, that would require virtually no input from the art department. Same with cloaks. New helms would have to be built to fit an owl head, Tauren would probably be a good place to start making adjustments.
Not sure about chest, leg, belt, hands and feet. A big fat bird in a dress would look fecking nuts.
Oh, and we need to be able to cast heals in moonkin form (and our heals need to be stronger. Right now I can't outheal regular mobs in the firelands even with purple gear in every slot, it's pathetic. Stopping to heal in a fight when low on health just gets me killed. It's ridiculous that rogues now heal more effectively than a class with actual healing spells!
Patch 4.3 preview: The all-new Darkmoon Faire {WoW}
Aug 25th 2011 4:13PM Buddy. It's not the same people at Blizzard who fix bugs as those who make monkeys with hats. They have different crews for different jobs, not too hard to understand is it?
As in, you can't just grab all the modeling and texturing artists and stick 'em in front of a C++ editor/compiler and expect anything productive to come out of it.
Patch 4.3 preview: The all-new Darkmoon Faire {WoW}
Aug 25th 2011 4:02PM Then you better turn 'em all in before the patch hits don't ya.
Patch 4.3 preview: The all-new Darkmoon Faire {WoW}
Aug 25th 2011 4:00PM It would seem there's a monthly thing, but there's also weekly stuff (the tradeskill-related stuff, artifacts), and even daily quests too (bandaging beasts (wtf?), cooking food and whatnot).
So it would appear we can travel there whenever we like, but the announcement says there's a fee attached if it's not during the festival week of the month when we can use the voucher thingy to hearthstone there.
...Or that's how I interpret it anyway. It's a bit cloudy methinks, but blizz will clear things up after people have asked the same questions a million times. :P
Around Azeroth: Mistress of the dark {WoW}
Aug 17th 2011 10:14AM Not only do any and all clothes and other wearable items fit, but also, all men get hugely muscular bodies, and all women become ultra-fit and voluptuous, purely by being born into the world.
Somehow I find that even more unrealistic than people flinging fireballs from their hands and flying through the air on the backs of dragons... ;)

New alternator and battery, but no charge to the battery? ECM maybe? Saturn Vue.
Well, here's what happened. I was driving the truck (2006 Saturn Vue 2WD 3.5L) in town and all of the sudden the AC stopped blowing cold air and just blew normal warm outside air. Then the Battery dash light came on, the the ABS dash light came on, then the Seatbelt light came on and we both were wearing them. I lost power steering and it became very "jerky"as if it were only being assisted a little bit here and there. I swung the truck into Advance Auto Parts (how lucky). The dash lights were kind of coming on and then go out and come back on again. The truck then stalled in park gear. I tried to restart, but the battery was dead. I had Advance check the battery and they said it was good, but the alternator was bad coming in at a low voltage of 6.5. An auto repair shop was across the street and they helped me to get it there. They checked the battery and the alternator and came up with the same conclusion except that the battery was bad and it also had a battery that was too small in CCA for the truck. Supposedly the battery should have been around 650 CCA and there was only a 550 CCA installed. Anyways, I got a new alternator from Advance and the repair shop put in a new battery to go with it, but when testing they found that there is no charge going to the battery from the alternator? What? They just got done checking all of the ground wiring from the alternator to the starter and from the starter to the battery and it was clean. They said they used a Power Probe machine tester to check for electrical continuity and everything came back good. They did say that it most likely is in the ECM. There is also a BCM isn't there? What do the both control and what is their difference? Do i need to get an ECM flashed and reprogrammed if I find one? Which ECMs can I use and if so, can they just pop in into the truck and have it work?

Do the Romneys Suffer from a Siege Mentality?
As parents, we often encourage our children to give others a chance, to get to know them better, to take the time to discover that when you get beneath the surface, most people are a lot more sympathetic than they first appear.
Unfortunately, there may be exceptions to that would-be golden rule, people with whom familiarity breeds unease. Such has been the case with Mitt and Ann Romney. Over the past couple of weeks, we've gotten repeated glimpses of their under-the-surface selves, and the experience hasn't been uplifting. First we had the governor's surreptitiously taped comments from a Boca Raton, Fla., fundraiser in which he dismissed 47% of the population as being sniveling, entitled "victims" and complained that he'd have "a better shot" at the presidency if he were Latino. Not so nice.
