If you could preview your retirement on DVD, would it show you living comfortably or struggling to make ends meet? Which of these two scenes will actually play out some day will depend on your retirement income. And planning decisions you make now can greatly affect your results.
Make your own projection
You may not intend to retire for many years, but this is still a good time to plan. The sooner you take a hard look at your financial situation, the more time you'll have to make any needed adjustments. To see a rough-cut of what your future retirement might look like, just compare the retirement income you anticipate against your likely cost of living during retirement.
Determine how much you need to save each month to reach your retirement goal with our Destination Retirement calculator.
Your future income — where from and how much?
You may have several sources of retirement income:
Your future income needs
To look at your retirement income needs, you need an idea of how much you'll be earning – and spending – at the end of your career. Yes, your living costs may be lower after you retire because of savings on work-related expenses like commuting and payroll taxes. But inflation after retirement may increase your income needs, and some costs, like medical care, will probably increase, too. Unless you plan to change your lifestyle, you may not want to anticipate a significant drop in your cost of living after you retire. To estimate your pre-retirement earnings, multiply your current pay by a growth factor from the table (above). Many planners say the average retiree needs 70%-80% of pre-retirement income to live comfortably.

I really wish nVidia would de classify the specs for some of their older hardware so that users out there who still had the older stuff could get drivers made for their wares.
I like open source but I understand the need for nVidia to keep it's secrets hidden away from the likes of intel and ati. They have a right........ in light of competition.
I know I wouldn't bother to sink a bunch of money into a new technology if I couldn't use it as an advantage against my business rivals.
But for the older stuff, say two or three generations back, it should be fine.

IL041: Wake Up Snorlax!
this wiki
Ash, Misty, and Brock are heading to another town with Pikachu fast asleep. They meet a Hippie who is playing a song on a Poke Flute. The song wakes up Pikachu. The Hippie asks Ash and his friends if they have any food to give him. They don't have any food, so they walk away. The Hippie says, " Oh well, another free concert." Team Rocket then show up and are rude to the Hippie when he plays a song for them and asks them for food. As Team Rocket walks away, the Hippie says they should learn to respect their elders.
Ash and his friends reach a town, only to find that there's no food in the town or any ingredients for cooking any food. The mayor of the town gives Ash and his friends a little bit of food and explains that the nearby river has dried up and has killed off all of the towns crops. Ash and his friends go to the river to see why the river dried up. They have to go through some thorns and Misty cuts her arm on one. Ash has Bulbasaur use Razor Leaf to get through the thorns. They discover the reason the river dried up is because its blocked off by a huge, sleeping Snorlax.
Ash and his friends try to wake up Snorlax, but have no success. Team Rocket shows up to steal Snorlax. Ash and his friends decide to help them steal Snorlax because if Snorlax moves, it will unblock the river. Team Rocket tries putting cables on Snorlax and attaching them to their balloon, but it doesn't work. They try using alarm clocks, bullhorns, and buckets of water to wake Snorlax up, but nothing works.
Jessie remembers the story of "Sleeping Beauty" and how a noble prince kisses the princess to wake her up, so they try to use Noble Pokémon. Brock suggested Misty use her Horsea but Snorlax ended up getting kissed by Psyduck instead. Team Rocket tries to get Meowth to kiss Snorlax but both are disgusted after the kiss.
Snorlax then rolls over and a card stuck to it appears. The card says that the only thing that will wake Snorlax up is music from a Poke Flute. Team Rocket remembers that the Hippie had a Poke Flute and they decide to ask the Hippie to help them. Ash and his friends get into a fight with Team Rocket that ends with Pidgeotto sending Team Rocket blasting off again. Ash and his friends take the Hippie to Snorlax and the Hippie tells them that he owns Snorlax. The Hippie plays a song on his Poke Flute and Snorlax wakes up and walks off.
But the river still isn't flowing and they discover that a patch of thorns is blocking the river. Ash and his friends start to get rid of them when Snorlax starts eating the thorns. Ash and his friends are surprised and the Hippie explains that thorns are Snorlax's favourite food. Snorlax eats up all of the thorns and the river starts flowing again. The mayor is happy and he throws a banquet in their honour.
In the forest, Team Rocket is looking for Snorlax again. They find it, but it has gone back to sleep. They ask the Hippie when it will wake up and he says Snorlax won't wake up for a month. The Hippie walks away and Snorlax rolls on top of Team Rocket.
- This episode is the first of four where a main character is bleeding, in this case, Misty cutting herself on a thorn.
- When the Pokédex I.D.s Snorlax the light on it keeps flashing even though it had finished describing Snorlax.
- When ash tries to capture Snorlax the Poké Ball bounces off its body and doesn't activate. This might make Snorlax near impossible to capture if all Poké Balls just bounce off its body.
- The "Who's that Pokémon?" in this episode is Snorlax.
- In an attempt to wake Snorlax ash and co were going to use Horsea to wake up Snorlax with a kiss just like in sleeping beauty, but instead Misty's Psyduck comes out and kisses Snorlax which doesn't do anything and Misty gets mad at Psyduck. It's curious those on why they didn't use Psyducks psychic powers to move Snorlax.
- Brock:(to Misty) "Be careful those things are sharp!"
- Misty: "How I suppose to be careful? Anywhere you look there's more thorns."
- Ash: "I'd hate to see them steal Snorlax, but if they get it out of the way for us..."
Brock: "The spring water will flow like before."
Meowth: (To Jessie and James) "Why I have to be the one to kiss that big Snorlax?"
Meowth:(To Snorlax) "Hey wake up you big lump!"

Love it!!!
"Great Savings"
I'm a vet tech/ groomer & often use this both @ work & in my home. All rabies vaccines are 3 years, the difference you pay at the vet's office is all paperwork fee's. However doing this at home by yourself , know this , if for any reason your animal gets picked up, pest control, pound, even at the groomers, You are vaccinating your pet for your own relief, no state will reconize the vaccine unless given by a certified professional. Even if you keep proper shot records.
"rabvac 3"
"just so people know, the 10 ml bottle comes with 10 tags that say ""rabies vaccinated 2011"" (or whatever year you buy it) and a 5 digit number for identification. the expiration date is 3-2013 on a bottle I bought 12-2011,,but it is recommended on the bottle that the whole thing be used when opened. a great value and a good way to cut down on vet bills!"
Great deal ! Nice to be able to keep your horses & pets safe w/o a huge vet bill !
"Economical & Easy"
Great...5 horse doses in one economical bottle. We have used it for many years. Also use for the barn dogs. Very good value.

New York � Crumple up the bracket and throw away the script. And remember magical moments aren�t preordained, even when it starts to look that way.
Look again and you see teary eyes and shattered hopes, and hear heavy words in muffled tones. On an amazingly tense Sunday, Michigan and Michigan State ran out of moments and out of time. Both had a chance to reach the Final Four, but in riveting back-to-back games, the state�s historic ride shrieked to a halt.
Michigan battled Kentucky to the end in a wild thriller in Indianapolis, losing 75-72 on Aaron Harrison�s three-pointer with 2.3 seconds left. Nik Stauskas� final desperation heave went awry, and while there�s no solace in dropping a great game, there�s no shame in it either. Michigan has joined Michigan State as a basketball power, and the way these programs are built, they�ll travel this road again.
Michigan State didn�t wait until the final buzzer to suffer its fate in New York, losing to Connecticut 60-54. The Spartans fell behind, surged ahead, then fell apart, and a popular championship pick was shocked. When a Tom Izzo team gets this far, it almost always takes the next step, but this group played as if spent.
It was a stunning sight to see Michigan State turn the ball over 16 times, leading to all sorts of Connecticut mayhem. It was a sad sight to see senior Keith Appling, who never regained his confidence or shooting form after a wrist injury, slumped on a chair in front of his locker, head down, towel around his neck, wordless as cameras and reporters circled him.
�We made a lot of mistakes,� Appling finally said, not looking up. �I just feel like I let everybody down. We let everybody down.�
For 10 painful minutes, Appling answered questions about the turnovers and his late foul on Connecticut star Shabazz Napier, as well as his fate (along with Adreian Payne) of being the first four-year seniors not to make the Final Four under Izzo.
As much as the NCAA Tournament is about glory found, it�s also about opportunity lost, and the Spartans squandered a prime one. After an inexplicably sluggish start, they rallied to take a 32-23 second-half lead. But Appling couldn�t do much, finishing with two points, two assists and four turnovers. Payne shot four-for-14, and maybe the weight of it all, from injuries to pressure to a leader-less offense, wore them down.
Izzo said he felt bad for Appling, but was baffled by his team�s sloppiness.
�I�ll beat myself up for a week on why we laid an egg,� Izzo said. �Hate to say it, but I�m a big believer in you get what you deserve. We did not deserve to win. We didn�t seem mentally as sharp as we needed to be. We started out poor, we looked drained. So maybe it wasn�t our time, wasn�t our turn.�
Maybe it was going to be Michigan�s turn again, and that certainly looked possible as it raced to a 10-point lead against Kentucky�s precocious freshmen lineup. John Beilein is proving to be a March master, too, but the Wildcats simply had too much size and inside power, despite the senior will of Jordan Morgan and the shooting of Stauskas.
Senior strength is a real thing, and so is talent and height. Julius Randle, a 6-9 load, had 16 points and 11 rebounds, and it was up to Morgan to hang in. They had their chance, wiping out a 62-55 deficit with 6:32 left. Morgan�s tip-in finally tied it, before Harrison broke it with a long, staggering shot.
This was tremendously entertaining competition, and amid the disappointment, the Wolverines had no reason at all to apologize.
�Both teams played really well, and I think even the people that were sitting in the highest seats got their money�s worth,� Beilein said. �So I�m really proud of our team. They hit big shots when they needed to and so did we.�
It was back and forth, up and down, with Stauskas scoring 24 points and Glenn Robinson III delivering in the clutch.
�They made a great shot,� Stauskas said. �It�s part of basketball. You�re going to make the shot sometimes, and it�s going to go against you sometimes. So you gotta tip your hat to Kentucky.�
The fun thing about the Tournament is the unpredictable swings, where big leads can disappear and beaten-down teams suddenly can look unbeatable. The Wolverines were gaining that championship sheen, then ran into a team doing the same.
So were the Spartans, who couldn�t explain the batch of mental and physical errors that rendered their staunch defense moot. This was the best and the ugliest of Michigan State in one viewing, witnessed by a raucous pro-Connecticut crowd in Madison Square Garden. A team that emerges from adversity usually is tougher for it, but without a productive Appling, the Spartans always were going to be one lapse from trouble.
The final lapse was an unfortunate one by Appling, who fouled Napier on a three-point attempt with 31 seconds left. Napier hit all three free throws for a 56-51 lead, and that was pretty much it. That also was it for Appling, who slapped his hands on his head and sprinted to the bench in disbelief, fouled out of the game, his college career over. The call was close but there was contact, and Appling was almost too distraught to talk afterward, finally speaking in barely audible tones.
His teammates were devastated too, for the seniors and for themselves.
�It�s so hard, I don�t know what to say,� Denzel Valentine said. �I�m just heartbroken right now. We didn�t come out and play the way we have in the Tournament, and we got what we deserved.�
That was Izzo�s point, and it�s the reason they play these games and don�t just pencil in the winners, not even in the president�s bracket. It�s about passion and steely nerves, and who can sustain them the longest.
Big guys crack too, and that�s what an underdog like Connecticut was counting on.
�We wanted to hit first,� Huskies coach Kevin Ollie said. �Everybody was kind of picturing them as the giant, and we didn�t want to wait for the giant. We wanted to go meet our giant.�
The giant was felled and landed hard, and that�s how giants fall. The Spartans and Wolverines nearly ended up in the same place, and it�s too bad they didn�t. The trip from dancing to despair is a short one, and the most-painful one to take.

The best Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurants on Long Island
"Mediterranean and Middle Eastern" is a catch-all term describing the cuisine of such nations as Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Israel and Egypt. The region is a hotbed of flavors.
The Mediterranean alone rolls from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Turkish coast, splashing onto North Africa and southern Europe. The inland sea reaches three continents and more than 20 nations and states. At its grandest length, the Mediterranean goes 2,700 miles. At its widest: 800 miles.
That's a lot of food. Numerous restaurants on Long Island trace their cuisines to the Mediterranean and Middle East. These are the best. (Selections by Joan Reminick and Peter M. Gianotti.)
Ahuva's Grill
(Credit: Johnny Simon)Ahuva's Grill, Hewlett: Chef-owner Ahuva Tsadok offers a compelling repertoire of Yemenite-Israeli dishes that both ignite and soothe the palate. Follow the gratis dip assortment with an appetizer combination platter (pictured), ideally ordered with a side of lafah, a warm, flaky, house-made bread. Other standouts: savory Yemini chicken soup, kibbe, or fried ground beef balls, and shakshuka, poached eggs in a spicy-sweet tomato sauce. From the grill: baby chicken shish kebab, made with boneless marinated dark meat, and kaufta kebab, spiced ground beef sausages that ooze when cut.
AlaTurca Mediterranean Restaurant
(Credit: Marisol Diaz)AlaTurca Mediterranean Restaurant, West Babylon: The Turkish newcomer in West Babylon, will win you over with just one bite of chef Akin Ay's offerings. It's interior is simply appointed but still evolving. One bite of chef Akin Ay's house-baked bread slathered with spicy eggplant salad or hummus will win you over. Also recommended: chicken kebabs that come off the grill moist and tender and infused with the flavor of its marinade, manti, delectable little meat-stuffed ravioli with garlic-yogurt sauce, and whole sea bass, fresh, simple and nicely grilled.
(Credit: Randee Daddona)Alexandros, Mount Sinai: Greek cuisine, with its seafood emphasis and grilled steaks, make Alexandros a Mediterranean surf-and-turfer. The homey restaurant also excels with spreads made with roe, eggplant, or potatoes and garlic, as well as stuffed grape leaves; and main dishes including moussaka, pastitsio and giouvetsi, or baked lamb. Grilled whole fish highlight the seafood, along with cuts of swordfish, tuna and salmon; filet mignon, rib eye, New York strip and porterhouse steaks, the beef. Tender lamb chops, too. Baklava, rice pudding and galaktoboureko, or custard in phyllo with honey, lead the sweets. (Pictured: horiatiki, a Greek country salad.)
Ayhan's Fish Kebab
(Credit: Yana Paskova)Ayhan's Fish Kebab, Port Washington: Tops in restaurateur Ayhan Hassan's Long Island empire is this Mediterranean seafood-centric restaurant with a classic Greek portico out front and a fresh fish display inside. Here, you'll find fresh fish on ice and stellar options including salmon kebabs (pictured).
Azerbaijan Grill
(Credit: Maria Boyadjieva)Azerbaijan Grill, Westbury: A gem of a restaurant, the cuisine is beyond the Republic of Azerbaijan to include Russia, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia and Iran. The list of excellent options is long, from a starter of tabbouleh that's dotted with pomegranate to anything with lamb, such as the highly seasoned adana kebab and lamb shank stewed in tomato paste. Also exceptional: grilled whole striped bass; crunchy crusted spinach pie and chicken chops; butterflied, grilled and marinated drumsticks; and jujeh kebab (pictured), pieces of Cornish hen marinated with lemon and saffron.
Bosphorus Cafe Grill
(Credit: Aaron Zebrook)Bosphorus Cafe Grill, Port Washington: A highlight at the Turkish restaurant includes lavas, a seed-sprinkled, golden bread that's the ideal vehicle for the many dips. You also can't go wrong with the juicy chicken kebab platter (pictured), served with carrots, pickled cabbage, red onions, rice and grilled tomato. Also recommended: shepherd's salad, spinach-feta pide, lamb Adana kebabs, house-made gyro kebab, kofte kebab (grilled lamb and veal patties), char-grilled whole tilapia, kazandibi (caramelized milk pudding), rice pudding, flan.
(Credit: Newsday / Rebecca Cooney)Ephesus, Massapequa Park: Chef-owner Funda Duygun's culinary skill catapults this simply appointed Turkish restaurant into elevated territory. There is so much comfort and clarity of flavor in her assortment of dips — hummus, ezme (a spicy vegetable salad) and baba ghanoush — to be spread on warm, house-baked bread. Find further gratification in pide, a well-crafted pastry that may be had with any number of fillings, among them cheese, potatoes and Turkish sausage, and manti (pictured), tiny beef-filled dumplings. Kebabs are savory and juicy, whole fish perfectly grilled. Finish with fragrant baked rice pudding.
(Credit: Johnny Simon)Ethos, Great Neck: Ethos focuses on Greek fare, carefully prepared. The kitchen sends out fine char-grilled octopus (pictured), grilled haloumi cheese, spanakopita (spinach-feta pie) and zesty loukaniko sausage. Tsipoura (royal dorado), swordfish, tiger shrimp and charcoal-grilled Maine lobster highlight the seafood. You'll also enjoy the rib-eye steak with fried potatoes and the roasted chicken with lemon-scented spuds. Ethos offers a savory cheese course with manouri, kefalograviera, feta, metsovone and, going beyond the isles, Gorgonzola. Karidopita, or walnut cake, and baklava top the desserts.
(Credit: Yvonne Albinowski)Grillmark, Albertson: This is that rare restaurant you can feel good about frequenting more than once a week: Surroundings are sleek, prices moderate and the menu skews healthy. All skewers are recommended, though particularly good is the swordfish (pictured). Also: house-made chicken and pork gyros, salmon kale salad with quinoa and avocado, baklava, rice pudding.
Istanbul Cafe
(Credit: Newsday / Thomas A. Ferrara)Istanbul Cafe, Centereach: At this strip mall Turkish spot, chef-owner Sinan Yagci makes the most of the restaurant's brick oven, which turns out delectable pides (stuffed Turkish pizzas). To spread onto freshly baked bread: a meze assortment featuring three different eggplant salads, hummus and ezme. From the grill come well-marinated lamb chops, chicken Adana kebab, chicken shish kebab, house-made gyro and lamb shish kebab. Yagci's profiteroles are a strong point, as is his kazandibi, a burnt sugar milk custard. (Pictured is a Turkish take on moussaka.)
Kabul Afghani Cuisine
(Credit: Daniel Brennan)Kabul Afghani Cuisine: Serving food from specific areas of Afghanistan, this restaurant focuses on the cooking styles found in Kabul before the late-1970s invasion by the Soviet Union. Owner Manila Rahimi makes sure diners feel cared about and feeds them well with standout items including aushak (pictured), tender triangular Afghani dumplings filled with leeks and scallions and topped with a meat sauce, house-made garlic yogurt and chopped mint. Also: Grilled marinated cubes of lamb, threaded onto skewers, burst spicy juices when bitten. And it's hard to stop spooning away at the creamy rice pudding.
(Credit: Johnny Simon)Limani, Roslyn: Opulent and extravagant, Limani is a grand setting for very fresh seafood and Greek specialties. Whole, charcoal-grilled fish for two include fagri, similar to pink snapper; red snapper; and black sea bass. They're rivaled by grilled Arctic char, Dover sole and halibut. The raw bar is very good, as are the grilled calamari and seppie. The carnivorous should be satisfied with lamb chops and porterhouse steak. Notable starters include kolokiphi, fried zucchini and eggplant chips (pictured); saganaki, or pan-fried kefalograviera cheese; grilled octopus; grilled sardines; and grilled or fried calamari. Try the Greek yogurt with thyme, honey and walnuts.
MP Taverna
(Credit: Yana Paskova)MP Taverna, Roslyn: Chef Michael Psilakis puts an inventive spin on Greek cuisine at his bi-level gastro pub, which, since opening, has spawned two metro-area spinoffs. Virtually every dish is a standout, from the tender, lemon-kissed octopus to the supernal meatballs in tomato and olive sauce to a salad of dried fruits, cheese and young greens. Ethereal dumplings with lamb sausage are punctuated by the crunch of bread crumbs and a subtle jolt of citrus. If you've never had a lamb burger, this one (pictured) is juicy and herbal enough to make you a convert. Conclude with apple baklava, galaktoboureko parfait or the opulent chocolate brownie made with halvah.
Mavi Grill & Deli
(Credit: Nicole Horton)Mavi Grill & Deli, Mount Sinai: Located within a charming house, the place appears to have jumped out of the pages of a glossy decorating magazine: white wainscoted walls, contemporary glass-topped tables. Red lentil-carrot soup proves robust, comforting; lemon chicken orzo soup, velvety and rich. A forte here are the kebabs -- the adana, with minced meat (pictured), the most white meat chicken -- all served with rice and bulgur wheat pilaf and lovely grilled vegetables. The house-made gyro is a treat, as is the shrimp pita. Finish with the fine house-made baklava or creamy rice pudding.
Opa Grille
(Credit: Yana Paskova)Opa Grille, Williston Park: For those who judge a Greek restaurant by its taramasalata (pictured), know that chef-owner George Labos makes a roe dip with just the right briny depth. There's also no fault to be found in the flaky spinach pie. Classic and comforting are both moussaka — layers of eggplant, ground beef and potatoes — and pastitsio, the Greek version of lasagna made with ground beef and ziti, each topped with a rich béchamel. To finish: The sweet, flaky baklava or the rich phyllo-wrapped pudding known as galaktoboureko. Or both.
Pita House
(Credit: Timothy Fadek)Pita House, East Setauket: The dining room boasts a stone bas-relief sculpture of a Trojan horse by an artist from Turkey, but it's the well-crafted Turkish food and caring service that bring us back. The spinach pie juxtaposes crisp, light layers of phyllo with rich, tangy feta and a thatch of grassy spinach; all soups are good, with a standout the assertively spiced red lentil soup; and all manner of meze (cold appetizers), served in the traditional Turkish manner, from a wheeled cart, are superb, from a garlicky hummus to the patlican salatasi (charred eggplant and vegetable salad). A big attraction here is the house-made gyro, available in both lamb and turkey versions, and kebabs are moist (pictured is the mixed kebab platter). Also tops is a beautifully grilled whole sea bass. Hard to resist: kadayif (shredded wheat pastry), made with honey and pistachios.
(Credit: Agaton Strom)Ravagh, Huntington and Roslyn Heights: These Persian siblings offer an enticing interplay of the homey and exotic. Try the burani bademjan, fried sliced eggplant with a vibrant tomato sauce, and mirza ghasemi, char-grilled eggplant with scrambled egg. Lamb figures prominently, whether as grilled chops or kebabs or as a stewed shank. A perennial favorite is jujeh kebab, bone-in Cornish hen marinated in lemon and saffron and grilled (pictured). Basmati rice may be had any number of ways, all delicious. Finish with pistachio baklava.
Turkuaz Grill
(Credit: Randee Daddona)Turkuaz Grill, Riverhead: Good looks and charm are only part of the allure of this Turkish restaurant near the Long Island Aquarium. Eat indoors or on the porch or at a lawn picnic table and you get a view of the Peconic River. But the real draw is the food: a vibrant shepherd's salad, an assortment of lively meze (small plates), as well as fine grilled marinated kebabs (including the beyti lamb kebab, pictured). The house-made gyro, done with marinated lamb, is another standout.
Yevma Authentic Greek Cuisine
(Credit: Daniel Brennan)Yevma, East Meadow: This ambitious restaurant features an attractive dining space, a display of imported groceries and solid Greek cuisine. The excellence of the food is clear from the moment you sink your teeth into the grilled octopus (pictured): Bathed in extra-virgin olive oil, it's exceptionally meaty and tender, subtly smoky. Other fine starters include the taramasalata (whipped roe spread) and kalamakia (grilled pork); to get an overview of the menu, try the pikilia Kreaton, a mixed grill for two. And finish with kormo (brandy-spiked chocolate cake).

Black Diamonds vs White Diamonds
When shopping for diamond jewelry, you have many stunning options. You may picture traditional white diamonds when you think of a fabulous diamond ring, tennis bracelet or pair of stud earrings, but black diamonds are also luxurious in a variety of fashionable jewelry.

To select the very best diamond jewelry for your collection, consider this comparison of black diamonds and white diamonds.

I had fun discovering the difference between the linux "killall" command (kills all processes matching the specified name, useful for stopping zombies) and the solaris "killall" command (kills all processes and halts the system, useful for stopping the production server in the middle of peak hours and getting all your co-workers to laugh at you for a week). |
I was in charge of our corporate web proxy which at the time was Netscape's product. While playing around in the admin forms (it was a web based interface) there was a big (and I swear it was red) button that said Delete User Database. No problem, I thought. Let's see what the options it gives me are when I hit that. Surely there will be a confirmation prompt if there are no options. Yeah, no confirmation. No options. No more users. So, went over to Mr. Solaris Sysadmin and said that I was in desperate need of a restore from tape to which he replied, "I don't back that box up." "Uh, come again," I retorted. "I don't back that box up. It's on my list of things to add to the backup rotation but I haven't gotten around to it yet." "This server's been in production for nearly 8 months!" I screamed. shrug, he replied. "Sorry." |
Many years ago the company I worked for had a client which ran a nightly backup of their NT 4.0 Server to a Jaz drive (like a high capacity zip disk). We set up a batch file, which ran as a scheduled job overnight. Every morning they'd collect last nights disk from the drive, and before they left in the evening they'd insert the next disk in the sequence. Anyway, the batch file looked something like this (the Jaz drive was drive F:)...
Anyway, one night they forgot to put the disk in. The change to drive F: failed (no disk in drive), and the batch file continued to run. The default working directory for the batch file? C:. First time I've ever seen a backup routine destroy the server it was backing up. I learned a little something about sysadminning (and exception handling) that day. Jim. PS: The fix? "deltree /y F:\*.*". |
root@dbhost# find / -name core -exec rm -f {} \; Me: "You can't get in? OK. What's the DB name?" Cu: "Core." Me: "Oh." |
I love the way everyone qualifies their story with "when I was young/green" as if they would never do it again. Accidents can happen to even the most seasoned pros. My own worst moment is so bad I still get palpitations thinking about it... We had a SAN with production data on it. Critical to the company. My "mentor" decided to extend a partition to free up some disk space. Can you see where this is heading? He said that the SAN software could do this live, in production hours and no-one would notice. Alarm bells should have started ringing, but were conspicuously silent. He said he'd done it "loads of times before" with no problems. But here's the thing - he got ME to click the button that said "are you sure?"! As I was new to the company I assumed this guy knew what he was talking about. Big mistake. The good news was that the LUN got extended. The bad news was...well I knew there was bad news when I started seeing disk write errors on the Windows box. I'm glad I was wearing brown pants. We had to explain why 1TB of data had disappeared at lunchtime. That was a really, really bad day. It's a good principle actually - before you do something that you have doubts about, imagine having to explain to management if something goes wrong. If you can't think of a good answer to explain your actions then don't do it. |
Nagios pinged us one morning when business hours started to say that it couldn't connect to a non-critical server. Ok, hike to the server room. It's an old server, a Dell 1650 purchased in '02, and we knew that the 1650s have been having hardware problems. The PFY stabs the power button. Nothing. Hit it again, and hold it for five seconds to 'force power on' ... which overrides the BMC's error protection, since without a DRAC there's no way to examine the BMC logs without having the power on to the chassis. The machine starts POST, and then dies again. I'm standing above it and go, "I smell smoke." We pull the server out on it's rails, and one of the power supplies feels warm, so the PFY pulls it and is about to close the box back up. I say, "No, that's not power supply smoke, that's motherboard smoke." We open the case again and look for the source of the burning smell. Turns out an inductor coil and a capacitor something blew off the voltage regulator on the motherboard, and sprayed molten copper and capacitor goop across everything, shorting a bunch of stuff and basically making a big mess. The worst part for me was recognizing that I'd smoked enough hardware to recognize the difference between the smell of a burnt motherboard and a burnt power supply. |
Three days ago (seriously) I was remotely logged in to a school server, installing Service Pack 2 on a Windows Server 2008 file server. I decided to schedule the needed reboot for late at night, when teachers wouldn't be logged on finishing their end-of-year report cards. I typed something like: at 23:59 "shutdown -r -t 0" ...which might have worked fine. But then I second guessed myself. Was my 'shutdown' syntax correct? I tried to view the usage help by typing shutdown /h ...and instantly lost my RDP connection. Panicking, I hit up Google for the syntax. A quick search revealed that the Server 2008 version of shutdown includes a /h switch, which (as you may have guessed) hibernates the machine. Teachers started calling me within minutes to report that they could no longer open or save the report cards they had been working on. Since I was offsite and the server room was locked, I had to call the school principal directly and walk her through the process of powering the machine back on. Today I brought homemade cookies to everyone as a form of apology. |
Ahhh,mine was about 10 years ago, when I was still getting my feet wet. I had the joy of installing battery backups on all the programmers computers. They also wanted the software loaded to warn of power outage and shut down properly. So I set it up on my computer to test everything first of course and make sure it all worked. So I disconnect the power cord and the message comes up on my screen. "external power lost, beginning system shutdown". So I thought, Hey cool, it worked. But for some weird reason, I don't even remember, it sent that message out as a network message so all 200+ computers in the company got that message, where 100+ users where programmers. Yeah, talk about mass freak out!! I kept my head low in that place for awhile! |
In a previous job, we had a great homegrown system that logged and archived every single piece of mail that entered, left or stayed within the company. Blew away your entire mailbox? No problem! Looking for a piece of mail that somebody sent you a week/month/year ago but you can't remember who sent it or what the subject was? No problem! We'll just redeliver everything from February for you to a special folder. At some point, the need came for the CEO of the company to monitor mail going between a competitor and an internal salesperson under suspicion. So we setup a script than ran every night and delivered relevant mail from the previous day to the CEO. No problem! Around a month later word of a double-plus urgent problem came down from on high. Seems that as the CEO was reading through the list of mails sent to $OTHERCOMPANY, he came across this one:
Naturally, the CEO being an important person and all, he was too busy to click on all those "Send Read Receipt" dialogs in Outlook and had configured his client to just send them all. One of the messages caught by the monitoring filter had a read-receipt request set. Guess what Outlook did? Certainly buggered up the 'clandestine' monitoring. Our next task: adding rules to the mail filter to block outgoing read receipts from the CEO to that company. Yes, it was the easiest way. :) |
I would often use the "sys-unconfig" command on Solaris machines to reset the machine Name service, I.P. address, and root password. I was on a users system and I logged into the building install server and looked something up (as root), then forgetting that i had logged into another machine (non descriptive "#" prompt) I ran the "sys-unconfig" command.
That "connection closed" message slowly turned to panic... what machine was I logged into when I ran that command. The worst part of this was not the hard time my co-workers gave me, it was that I did the same thing a month later. |
It's kind of a sysadmin accident.. in so far as sysadmins occasionally have to physically haul large numbers of machines from point A to point B (where A and B are seemingly always separated by several flights of stairs in a building with no lift). On the n'th trip of the day, I stopped for a breather three flights up from the basement loading level to chat with someone coming down, propped the full-size tower w/station I was schlepping on the inside handrail of the open stairwell and... well, you guessed... slightly lost my grip on it. It plunged unerringly straight down the well and when it reached the bottom, er... not so much with the functionality for that one! Total salvageable parts: two sticks of RAM, one floppy drive and one ISDN card (God bless the Hermstedt engineering folks!). Everything else either cracked, rattling or smashed into tiny pieces. By the grace of God, nobody was walking underneath, which, thankfully for me, was my boss' first though, so I got to keep my job. Felt very sick for an hour or so though. Moral: gravity always wins! |
I've got a pretty good one. Admittedly, it was prior to my time as a sysadmin, but still tech-related so I figured I'd add it. Back in the day, I was working as a satcom/wideband tech for the USAF. Having recently graduated technical school, I found myself stationed in South Korea. Shortly after arriving on-station an opportunity arose to travel down south with the "big guys" who'd been there for a while and actually work on some real-world,(i.e. `production') equipment. I went down with the crew and as an eager, young tech, was chomping at the bit, quite excited at the prospect of getting my hands on an actual piece of equipment that was passing LIVE military voice and data traffic. To start me off slowly, they handed me a manual, turned to the preventative maintenance section and pointed me in the direction of four racks filled with several large digital multiplexers. The equipment was easy enough, we'd covered the same equipment in tech school. First page of the manual read; "Apply power to the ditigal multiplexer. Turn both rear switches to the ON position and wait for the equipment to power-up, then begin tests." I looked up, and there was already power APPLIED! I was in a quandary for sure. Not knowing how to proceed, I shot my best, `Ummmm.. Kinda lost here' look at the senior. He looked over at me and laughed, "No, no, it's ok. You can ignore that part of the checklist." Then, as he noticed the look on my face, (since we were taught in school to NEVER, EVER ignore any part of a checklist, and it was certain death and destruction if one was to do so) he put a serious look on his face and said, "Ignore ONLY that part! Follow the rest of it, to the letter!" Dutifully, I ran through the multi-step PM instructions, happy as a clam and proud that they were letting such a low-ranking, (albeit smart) tech do this important work. Somewhere between the fifth and sixth preventative maintenance checklist on these huge multiplexers I started noticing an increased level of activity around me. Phones were ringing, people were moving quickly. Quizzical looks were being exchanged. Finally, a group of folks ran up to me, headed by one of the senior techs who had brought me down. "Hey! We're seeing HUGE outages in data traffic, and we've isolated/traced the path back to the racks that you're working on! Are you seeing any weird.." (At that point he was cut off by another one of the troubleshooters who'd made her way around to the first group of multiplexers that I had been performing the PMs on.) "HOLY NUTS! THEY'RE TURNED OFF! HE'S BEEN TURNING THEM OFF!!!!" In short order, I watched as they hurriedly ran through the first step in the manual, "Turn both rear switches to the ON position..." When the senior tech was done, he came over to me and incredulously asked what I was thinking of, by turning the critical pieces of equipment off. Scared out of my wits, I handed him the checklist that I'd been following, swearing that I hadn't deviated at ALL. That I had followed it, `to the letter' as he'd instructed. After a while he laughed and pointed out where the problem lay. In the manual, the FINAL step in the preventative maintenance checklist was: "Record final probe reading, wipe down front panel, removing all dust and particulate, then turn both rear power switches to the OFF position." :) |
I was reloading a system for someone, and during the manual backup process I asked him the question "Do you have any other programs you use?" and "Is there anything else important you do on the computer?" He said "no" SEVERAL times. I was convinced and formatted the drive. About 30 minutes later he said "oh my god" and put both hands on his head. Turns out he had been working on a book script for over 10 YEARS in a specialized program. This was back when programs used to save user data in its program files directory and I missed it. Whhhhooooops. He wasn't mad at me, but it was a sobering feeling. |
My personal favourite isn't actually mine, and I'm VERY glad of it. Take a look here. |
This didn't happen to me, but… I was working at a company that made software that ran on Linux machines provided by the client. We would essentially 'take over' the machines, completely configure them to our specs, and do all of the management and monitoring. Essentially, we were a team of 10-15 sysadmins, managing thousands of servers for hundreds of customers. Mistakes were bound to happen. One of our team found some issues on a server (a backup, I believe), and decided that he should run fsck on it. He stopped all relevant services, made sure that the system had had backups taken recently, and then ran the fsck, but it complained that the filesystem was mounted. Since we were remote and had no remote access (DRAC, ILO, etc.), he couldn't do the fsck, but he was pretty sure that it was safe to do it with the filesystem mounted, if you were careful. He decided to try it himself by running fsck on his root partition, with predictable results – he corrupted his root partition and couldn't boot anymore. Confused, he went over and talked to our team lead. The lead said he was pretty sure that you couldn't do that, and the team member said 'Sure you can!', took the lead's keyboard, and showed him that you could – by running fsck on the lead's root partition. Which completely corrupted HIS root partition. End result? No customer data lost, thanks to the team member's testing. Two days of employee productivity were lost, but that was worth far, far less than the data on the customer's machine. And for the record? You can run fsck on a mounted drive, but only to verify data. Not to repair it. That was the team member's mistake. -- To add my own story, I was working at the same company, and was trying to reset a user password. Our system refused to let me set it to the password he needed, because it tracked old password hashes and refused to let you duplicate the password. The mechanism was simple: it validated your password against the most recent hash in the database. (And for the record, it needed to be the old password because it was a shared account, and making sure everyone knew the new password was impractical) I decided to just go into the users database and delete the new records so that it would use the older one. It's all just SQL (running an ancient version of Sybase), so it's easy. First, I had to find the records:
I found the old record he wanted to keep; there were two more in front of it. I decided to be clever and just delete anything newer than the old record. Looking at the result set, I saw that the old password was ID #28 in the database, and the new ones were ID #several thousand (very busy system). That's simple, all the old rows were > 28, so:
There's nothing worse than doing some simple row pruning and seeing '212,500 rows affected'. Fortunately, we had two master database servers (with the user ID), but Sybase (at least, our version) didn't support automatic replication, so it didn't automatically wipe out the old records. It was a trivial matter to get a dump of the users_passwords table and re-import it. Still, a pretty big 'oh f**k!' moment. |
Another of my favorites: When setting up a computer and a local laser printer on a system, I had the bright idea to plug them both into the computer's UPS. Ever try to print to a local laser printer when it's plugged into a desktop UPS? Well, if you don't know, it tends to pull all the amps... Which restarts the computer... And the print job never finishes...! Ever get the call: 'Whenever I print, it restarts my computer and doesn't print!!!'? Ooops! JFV |
DELETE statement without a WHERE clause, on the customers' live patron database. |
Typed What I meant to type was After I realised what I did I ran to the control panel of a BIG wool bale sorting machine and hit the emergency stop button. This stopped the machine ripping itself to bits, as I had just killed the software which controlled it. |
We were in the middle of a power outage and saw that the UPS was running at 112% of it's configured load. This wasn't much of an issue as we were running on the generator at the time. So we went around pulling backup power cables to reduce the power usage on that UPS (we had two, one much larger than the other). We got to the network switch which ran the server room (this was the server room with all the internal servers for the company, with the customer facing servers in another server room). The switch was a large enterprise class switch with three power supplies in it. The supplies were N+1 so we only needed two in order to run the switch. We picked a cable and pulled it out. Unfortunately for us the other two were plugged into a single power strip, which promptly blew as the load went up on the two power supplies which were plugged into it. The sysadmin then panicked and plugged the third cable in. The switch tried to fire up, putting the entire load of the switch unto the single power supply. Instead of the power supply shutting down, it exploded in a shower of sparks not 12 inches from my face sending me jumping back into the rack of servers. Out of instinct I tried to jump to the side, but unfortunately on my left was a wall, and two my right was a very large 6'4" facilities guy. I some how managed to jump over him, or possibly through him bouncing off of the Compaq racks (the ones with the thin mesh fronts) without putting a whole in the rack, and without touching the facilities guy. |
At some point in my career a legal investigation at the company I was working for placed a requirement on us that all email be kept from "this day" forward, until told otherwise. After about a year of storing daily full backups of our exchange environment (1TB nightly) we started to run out of space. The exchange admins suggested that we only keep every 8th copy of the email. To do this, we had them restore a days worth of the exchange databases, extract the email they needed (specific people flagged for investigation) and re-archive it. They did this for every 8th day of email for all of our backups. The 8th day was chose because exchange had a parameter set where "deleted items" are kept in the database for 8 days. After they would finish each archive, I would go back through and delete any backups which were older than what they had archived. TSM does not have an easy way to do this, so you have to manually delete objects from the backup database. I wrote a script which would delete all backups older than some date, by way of a date calculation using the difference between today, and the date in question. On some day I had to delete about a months worth of backups, except when I made the date calculation I made a typo and entered the date as 7/10/2007 instead of 6/10/2007, and ran the script. I deleted an entire extra month worth of data, accidentally which was part of a very important lawsuit. After that, I added some steps to the script to confirm that you wanted to delete the data, and show you what it was going to delete... Luckily, they never even used any of the data we worked so hard to preserve, and I still have my job. |
After a long day or performance tracing and tuning a huge mainframe (you know the beasts that take a couple of hours before all standby backup-sites have agreed that it is indeed booted up again and fully synced) I stretched my fingers, typed satisfied shutdown -p now in my laptop prompt, closed the lid, yanked the serial cable out of the mainframe, with the anticipation of a nice cold glass of lager. Suddenly I hear the deafening sound of spinning down mainframe while my laptop was still happily displaying X. While waiting for the machine to come fully online again I decided that I got time to get my ACPI working on my laptop so I never ever are tempted to cli shutdown my laptop. |
Accidentally installed a tar.gz file on my Gentoo Linux box in the wrong place and it left files all over the place. This must've been around 1999, 19 at the time (thanks for the comments below) Being the geek that I am, I decided to try to script myself out of the work of going manually through each file. So I tried: It didn't take me very long to notice that tar also listed all the directories the program was using, those included were ''/usr, /var, /etc'' and a few others that I didn't really want gone. CTRL-C! CTRL-C! CTRL-C! Too late! Everything gone, reinstall time. Fortunately the box didn't contain anything important. |
This accident didn't happen... but it's worth mentioning: I was sent to a heavily-used data center to conduct bandwidth tests on a new circuit. I got to the demarc room/IDF, found a spot on one of the racks for my test router, made my connections, and started the tests. Unfortunately, I completely failed to notice the in-production border router not only being exactly on the next rack (almost at the same level), but that it was also the same make and model as my testing router. When the test was done, I began pressing the power switch to the off position (...imagine it in slow motion...) and, I swear, just as I was applying pressure it dawned on me that the router I was about to turn off was the one in production. My heart stopped and I almost... well, use your imagination. I left the data center's MDF looking spooked and pale, but at the same time glad I still had a job! |
I deleted someone's account by mistake, got the names mixed up with the one I was suspose to delete. Opps The cool part is they never knew what happened. Got the call they couldn't log in, the penny dropped about the account I deleted. While on the phone with them, I quickly re-created their account, re-attached their old mailbox to it (thankfully Exchange doesn't delete mailboxes right away) and pointed it back to their old user files. Then I blamed them for forgetting their password which I had just reset for them :) |
As a smallish part of my former life I administered the company's file server, a netware 4:11 box. It hardly EVER needed any input at all, but if it did, you opened up a remote console window. Used to using DOS all the time, when I was finished, I naturally would type "Exit". For Netware, "exit" is the command to shut down the OS. Luckily, it won't let you shut down unless you first "Down" the server.(Make it unavailable to the network/clients) So when you type "Exit" in the console, it helpfully says, "You must first type "Down" before you can exit" Ask me how many times I 1: typed "exit" in the console session and 2: Obediently typed "Down" and then "Exit" so I could "finish what I was trying to do" And then the phone starts ringing..... LOL |
The last place I worked, my co-worker had his kids with him in the server room (why? I have NO IDEA!). He made sure that they were far away from the servers and explained to his 5-year-old that he shouldn't touch ANY of the servers and ESPECIALLY none of the power switches. In fact, he had them right near the door... (can you see where this is going...?) The boy didn't touch any of the server power buttons... No, that would be entirely too easy to explain. Instead he hit the BIG RED BUTTON that was near the door... The button that shuts down power to the ENTIRE SERVER ROOM!!! Phone lines immediately started to light up wondering why Exchange, File Servers, etc. weren't available... Imagine trying to explain THAT to the CEO! -JFV |
Another story that didn't happen (phew): We were doing incremental backups religiously every day to a tape drive. We happened to write a tape containing data to ship to someone else. They said 'we can't read your tape'. In fact, neither could we. Or any tape in fact. We bought another tape drive and held our breath until we installed it. Moral of the story. Always make sure you test your backups. |
I once had a fight with the APC UPS monitoring software. Being a small company, we had a couple of small-ish UPSes and various servers were setup to monitor them. Most of the servers were Linux, but a few were running Windows and so they were the ones used because the APC software is Windows only. However, the APC software at the time was hard-coded to assume the UPS it is talking to is also powering the PC its running on! This was not the case for this server, but I discovered that too late to tell it to halt. Also unfortunately, the lead programmer was demonstrating the company product to a partner - it was a web-based app, running on the same server I didn't want the APC software to shut down... |
I was giving a new sysadmin a tour of a Service Manager app. I said "if you ever needed to stop this service you would click this button, but you should never do it during the day." You would never believe how sensitive her mouse button was! Two minutes later the service had started up again, and no-one seemed to notice. |
Tripping over a tower server that was wedged behind a rack and hitting my head on the back of the main Cisco router on my way down. Thus revealing how loosely the power cords were actually seated in the power supplies on the front of the Catalyst 6500. Yeah. We've got a hardhat on a hook in the server room now. With my name on it. |

What do you think of the
Honey Stinger Protein Bars - 20g - 12 Pack
? Share a...
Here's what others have to say...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I like these as a quick energy pick up while cycling and also as a pre workout snack.the provide 20 grams a whey protein which the body absorbs better than soy. I like the chocolate coconut but try not to let them get warm as they become a gooey mess.
Bottoms Up
So good, kind of addicted
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I don't think you can go wrong with any flavor when it comes to these Honey Stinger Protein Bars. Perfect for pre-endurance adventure, as well as during your activity. Gentle on the stomach...and too tasty for your own good.
Kevin Samuelson
Super good...
These are SUPER good, but are on the sweet side and do have lots of calories. I think they are great for meal replacement or after a long, hard workout.
Zach Parrott
Honey Stinger 20g Protein Bars
Do these contain soy or soy proteins?
Do these contain soy or soy proteins?
Andrew Philp
It does not list soy proteins in the ingredients, but it does contain soy products (soya lecithin).
Brent Allen
really chewy and sweet
Taste of these is nice, but I wish they made them without the chocolate coating though as they're already way sweet. Bits of honey stick around in your teeth for later too, kind of a bonus I guess.
I prefer the Clif Builders Bars (Lemon and Chocolate Mint!) in texture and taste, but these are more filling and higher in calories for that meal replacement scenario. The Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond is really nice, but I haven't had the others.
Justin Lichter (Trauma)
Really good
These are the best tasting protein bars on the market. They don't have the grainy texture of other ones out there and they don't freeze badly in cold weather.
Kind of upset that I didn't try one of these locally before getting, but did get for a steal on S&C.
Not sure what those who compare to an Almond Joy or Mounds are saying. Tastes like sweet, chocolate-covered cardboard to me.
But, trusting that the nutritional info is correct & will use as post-ride recovery--with a big bottle of water nearby to wash down.
Good and filling
My family really likes these protein bars. They taste pretty good and they fill you up for a good 4 hours. Can supplement lunchtime meal with these. My favorite is the dark chocolate coconut almond. The dark chocolate cherry almond was pretty good too. I'm looking forward to trying the peanut butter flavor.
Not like a granola bar
These taste like a candy bar. There's lots of honey in them and they're sweet like a candy bar. They taste super sweet, but they're nothing like a cliff bar or power bar.
Not for me
I found these of very questionable taste....tried 2 different types and they both tasted bad. Unable to finish either although the dog has no such compunctions and Hanked what was left of them right down. As noted by another, the Clif Builder bars are much better, as are the Balance, Zone Diet, and Promax bars as well: X10 at least.
I'd pass on these unless you could try one first.
Too much sugar - junk candy bars
I bought a couple cases of these on SAC and the 1st ingredient is evaporated cane juice. These things are pure junk food. I wont buy them again. There's more energy loss than gained eating this kind of crap! Yuck!!! they also taste like candy bars. I usually buy waaay better bars than this. They are pretty horrible and nothing healthy about them! A little bit of protein but all the sugar kills any good these bars might do for you. Am attaching a list of ingredients - check out the 1st one which states what these bars are mostly made of!
If you are a serious athlete and don't get what I mean, read Brendan Brazier's book, "Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to
Optimal Performance in Sports and Life". The Thrive diet is awesome!!!!
I think you are missing the point of "energy" used for training and races. When you have been exercising for two hours or more, your body desperately needs sugar to continue functioning, fat to get high density calories, and protein to promote muscle growth. What makes Honey Stinger products great is that instead of being manufactured, processed, synthetic sugars etc. it is as natural as possible.
the evaporated cane juice is an ingredient of the chocolate. Honey is the 1st ingredient of the "filling". the chocolate coating is quite thin. Next comes whey protein and almond butter...
I like these over all the other ones as they are free of grains and peanuts (unless you order the peanut ones). I keep mine fresh in the freezer until needed. You can chip off the chocolate coating while they are in a frozen state, btw. Ya, it would be nice if they reduced the honey content by 20% or so, but as is they are a great alternative for those of us who prefer to keep wheat, corn, oats, and rice out of our food.
Delicious, filling and effective
I love these bars! I purchased the dark chocolate almond/cherry ones and they are delicious! They're the perfect snack after a workout or whenever you're hungry. Definitely try them out!
El Duderino
I wont argue these are better than a lot of those nasty protein bars out there but they are WAYYYY over hyped here and are far from great tasting. As a protein bar they do the trick and are palatable.
If you really want a delicious protein bar, get Clif Builders bars. Better than many candy bars and snack bars (chocolate mint is phenomenal). Wont be getting these again unless i cant grab a Clif.
Chocolate Peanut Butta
These are great bars! I had it for the first time a couple of weeks ago while on a ski trip. My brother and I both had the bar for lunch and didn't need to stop skiing for a break. They are pretty sweet, more like a candy bar, but they are packed with protein.
good for winter trips
This bar wont break you teeth off when its cold out. Great taste, lots of punch for the weight, and they travel well. At -15 F you can bite through them without worry of injuring yourself. I used them while hunting on the Yukon river this winter, they were well received by my hunting buddies.
Andy Traslin
Chocolate bar?
Best tasting bar I have eaten so far.It's good to get a break from eating other brands.
Mike Traslin
Awesome taste
I first tried these bars after I got them in a race package....They were so good I almost ate the whole box in one evening....
Dave W
super good
highly recommend the Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond flavor
I wanted to eat these things for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
very tasty , will buy more
I love these bars, I get them whenever they go on sale at local camping supply stores. I was excited to get a 12 pack from backcountry.com; when they arrived, the packaging has a bit of wear on it (not the shipping box, but the thing cardboard box in which the bars are placed (like, at a retail checkout line area), but the bars themselves were in tact.Unfortunately, when I bit in to one, it tasted funky. I tried two more before chalking the shipment up to a loss, and tossing the pack. Oh well, I guess you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.EDIT: A few weeks ago, I received a package from a representative of this company. They sent a replacement box, and samples of their other products.The replacement tasted just like it should have!2 stars to 5
Who gave you the replacement? Was is honey stinger or SAC? I got an off box myself
