Naturally Green™ Soil Amendment Gel Seeks Partners on Kickstarter
Naturally Green Soil Amendment Gel's Kickstarter campaign to build a production facility begins June 14 and runs through July 13, 2013.
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) June 07, 2013
Naturally Green Soil Amendment Gel is seeking partners on Kickstarter to build a production facility. The campaign will kick off June 14 and run through July 13, 2013. This scientifically proven product has been in development for over a decade.
The Naturally Green micronutrient supplement and soil amendment is sourced from naturally occurring ingredients and concentrated into a soluble gel. The product stems from observations of plants that were flourishing where they were fed by water flowing through a granite mountain near the San Joaquin Valley in California. Naturally Green semi-permeable gel membrane absorbs and holds over 70% of its dry weight in water. When applied to soil it creates a nutrient rich moisture barrier, which helps reduce evaporation while providing plants the essential nutrients they need to thrive. Application of Naturally Green improves leaf erectness, significantly reduces susceptibility to disease, and improves photosynthesis efficiency in both residential and commercial agricultural applications.
"We believe the food we grow should have all the nutrition that nature intended," said Chris Scott, Senior Vice President for Intelligent Design, parent company of Naturally Green. Over the past decades the nutritional value of our foods has continued to decline. "I think most people would be shocked to find the severity of these nutritional deficiencies within our fruits, vegetables and grain."
Our soil is severely depleted of minerals; hence the food we grow is deficient of nutrients. The vitamin C content in broccoli is down 45%. Potatoes have lost over 50% of their vitamin C and iron, 28% of their calcium and 100% of their vitamin A. "No matter how hard we try, we can´t get there if we don´t solve the problem of our deficient soil."
Not only is this lack of minerals in our soil forcing us to use excessive fertilizers, but also chemicals. "Our crops don´t have what they need to resist drought or infestation."
The solution to all of these problems is the same: bring the soil back to a natural, mineral rich state. "We have discovered a one-of-a-kind, naturally occurring resource, a gift from Mother Nature. Based entirely on this discovery, we have created a highly unique product, Naturally Green, that puts these vital minerals back into the soil."
Only when these minerals are available during the growing cycle can plants truly thrive. Critical processes, intended by nature, strengthen crops and provide abundant nutrition for the fruits and vegetables they produce. When these nutrients are present in the soil, nature can take over, yielding better crops that contain all the natural, nutritional qualities Nature intended.
Naturally Green works along with traditional fertilizers for stronger crops that yield more and better food. "Through our proprietary processing technology, we are able to take a completely organic solution in its natural state and bring it to a pH balance that creates the perfect soil amendment," continued Scott. "We´ve already produced 8,000 ½ gallon containers of Naturally Green in our pilot plant. Our production protocols have been proven. Now we´re seeking partners to build a full-scale facility near the mountain to increase our production capability and bring the product to market.
"We fully intend to change the course of agriculture and its effect on our lives. Our food can be nutritious again. Imagine how that will affect our ability to fight illness and disease. Connect the dots from poor quality food to the long list of ailments in society today, and it all starts to make sense. When the food we grow can again have all the nutritional qualities that people enjoyed a century ago, we will have accomplished our primary goal: better living for all of us."

Ask Aunt Judith: Eatin' good and supporting our neighborhood
MAKE EASTER DELICIOUSLY SPECIAL: The Ladies Hellenic Church Guild and the women of Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church are already taking orders for their Easter Bake Sale, from 9 a.m. to "sold out" April 7 at the church, 3804 Seymour Road.
Now is a good time to place orders to ensure your choice of favorites like tsoureki (sweet Easter bread studded with red eggs), baklava, koulouria (butter cookies), kourabiethes (sugared almond cookies), finikia (spice bars), paximadia (Greek biscotti), spanakopita (spinach turnovers), dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) and galaktoboureko (custard-filled phyllo). A lunch of gyro sandwiches will also be served at 11 a.m.
For information or to place orders call 692-1059 or 692-5220
SUNDAY SAUSAGE SUPPER: Offering two great tastes on one plate, the Knights of Columbus in Burkburnett will serve up German sausage and fried chicken at their annual fundraising meal from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday. Everything takes place at the Knights of Columbus hall, 958 Cropper Road in Burkburnett.
The menu includes all the sausage, chicken, spareribs, sauerkraut and trimmings guests can hold, plus beverages. Adult and carryout orders are $10; tickets for children under age 12 are $5.
Both cooked and uncooked sausage will be available for purchase, and members of the St. Jude Altar Society will offer homemade baked goods for sale.
All proceeds go to the Knights local charities fund. For information call 569-8188.
IT'S GRILLIN' TIME: Warmer weather and sunny days brought one of Ken Jarosz's favorite burned offerings to mind, "Cross Cut Beef Ribs."
"Here is a quick, tasty, flexible way to enjoy beef ribs. These much maligned cuts of meat are in reality quite tasty and have a lot of meat on them. If prepared in the conventional method of low and slow cooking, they can be quite time consuming, but there is an alternative way to cook them.
"Known as cross cut or Mexican style ribs, these are prepared by the butcher by cutting perpendicular to the rib bones in ¼ inch to ½ inch slices. This leaves a thin, elliptical shaped cut of meat with small oval shaped bones retained in the meat. The cut also is popular with folks that enjoy Asian cuisine.
"The inherent toughness of the meat is addressed by marinating it in pineapple juice for 2-6 hours in the refrigerator. Place the meat and juice in a Zip Lock bag in the fridge; turn at least once during the marinating process. Citric acid in the juice softens the tough meat fibers and connective tissue found in the rib section. (Do not marinate longer than 8 hours or you will find that the meat has turned to mush.
"When ready to cook, fire up the grill and then remove meat from the marinade, blot slightly with paper towel and season one side with your favorite meat spice (fajita seasoning or your favorite steak rub are fine.) Be sure and discard the marinade.
"Grill two to three minutes on each side for medium rare if the grill is hot. Three minutes a side will give you a hot pink center.
"An average male will eat 3-4 of these strips. Ideal for hors d'oeuvres, the strips can be cut between the bones and the bones serve as handles."
Dear Aunt Judith: Some time ago you ran a recipe for a really easy baked fish with tomatoes and olives. I loved it, used it and lost it. Can you run it again?
— An Embarrassed Caller
A: There are many versions of a Vera Cruz treatment for fish, but I like it fresh and easy. This is a good match for any mild, white-fleshed fish.
Makes 4 servings
1 large ripe but firm tomato, peeled and diced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 green onions, chopped
¼ cup chopped green olives
¼ cup chopped cilantro (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped jalapeño pepper (optional)
3 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
5 tablespoons olive oil
4 fish fillets (tilapia, halibut, snapper, sea bass)
1. Combine tomato, garlic, onion, olives, cilantro and jalapeño if desired, olive oil and lime juice in a medium bowl, tossing to combine.
2. Place fish on oiled baking sheet. Divide vegetables between each piece of fish.
3. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
If you have questions about food, cooking, kitchen equipment, dining or would like to publicize your organization's upcoming fundraising meal, write to me in care of the Blue Plate Special, P.O. Box 120, Wichita Falls, Texas 76307 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Monday, our auld pal! Give us some blather wha'?
Beaut.ie Blather: Monday
Liked this? Here's more!
58 Replies to "Beaut.ie Blather: Monday"
No snow yet, but some is forecast during the day. Is it bad to hope that it will be so heavy that the boss will have to send us all home for safety reasons? It happened a couple of years ago….
I saw the St Nicholas parade yesterday and even took a picture of Black Peter who looked very scary I have to say.
What did the other beaut.ies do during the weekend? Some Christmas shopping? (it was mad in the shops here).
Hope you all have a nice day!
It's 2am in NY, and I'm up late reading for anthropology. Anyone want to help? I'll pay you in makeup! Just read it all for me and tell me what it all means.
BP, Black Peter is Zwarte Piet is le Père Fouettard. In France he is the baddy that comes with St Nicholas, the 'whipping man' for the naughty children. In the Netherlands, he is the Maur accompanying the Saint, probably derived from the butcher who killed the 3 children in the story.
Where I live at the moment, St Nicholas brings the gifts to the children, which is why there was the parade yesterday.
And I feel your pain about the party you had. I tend to switch off in that kind of occasions. I've promised myself that if I ever have children, I won't talk about them to other people. But maybe you can't help it, it's part and parcel of being a parent?
Morning all,
4 days and counting to Oz holidays woop woop.
The dreaded lurgy has hit but I'm dosing myself with Vitamin C and Actifed, so I WILL be better before I go on Friday. Got the Strepsils Plus throat spray, it is the bomb not pleasent to take but it makes the pain go away.
TheFrog- that sounds like lovely weekend.
BP- oh god that party sounds a nightmare. I think it depends totally on the people. I know loads of parents who don't spend the whole time talking about their kids.They talk for few mins of how the kid is doing which I want to know & have asked and then it's back to grown-up chats.
My weekend was spent driving to/from Cork (mercy mission to get my sister to Dublin airport), packing my rucksack(it's a tight squeeze) and moping on the sofa feeling sorry for my cold riddled self.
hi all! im shattered!! asleep in my tea!
Hows everyone?
Got my xmas shopping done. delira
Well done LauraLou!
I have my shopping done too but I keep seeing new nice things and buying them… So buying early has its drawbacks.
I was delighted when I saw that the bottle of Champagne that I got for my mother last week had suddenly seen its pice increased by 15%. Well, delighted to have bought it last week, outraged at the shop's behaviour.
LoCo, make sure and bring us some sun, please. It is now snowing and it should continue for the next 3 to 4 hours…
Morning all. I put my tree up at the weekend but nothing else. Well the angel on top. Need to decorate it this evening but had to clean first.
BP – oh god that sounds bad. I know a few parent and, like LoCo said, they talk bout their kids for a couple of mins but then normal conversation resumes. Think it can just depend on the people.
Heading to Edinburgh at the weekend and can't wait! Counting down the days!
Had a great one in Boots on Friday – got over 1000 points in my shopping! Even the woman at the counter thought it was good shopping. I'd only bought bout 4 things but had a voucher for an extra 650 points when I spent 20e on make-up & then got triple points on it aswell. Score! Now have more than enough to treat myself to one of the special offers!
Morning girls
I turned on the tap this morning and….nothing!No water,damn.This is a regular thing here,I just wish they would give us some warning so I could fill a kettle at least.Now,off to have a shower in record quick time,will I get conditioner rinsed off my hair before the tank runs dry,o the drama!!!
Took the kids and a friend to see Nativity 2 yesterday,they loved it.Then I had to endure pupperette and her friend look at each other and roll their eyes every time my husband or I said anything,and when my poor husband started whistling the theme tune to Timothy goes to school,the eye rolling and furtive glances definately increased!It was so funny,the trials of growing up,especially having such embarrasing parents.
Well,have a good day everyone,the sun is shining here,must try and get myself out for a trot later
Morning ladies,
I had a delightful day in Dublin on Saturday. I got my balayage highlights done in the Style Club and I love them. They're really subtle but they're exactly how I wanted them. I also got to shop a present for my sister from her husband. He text me to say he thinks she wants makeup but doesn't know where to start. Eh yes, leave it with me! I got some Clarins moisturiser, Benefit set, a lippy and They're Real as well as some Art Deco eye shadows and eye lash primer. Very happy with my purchases.
Hope you feel better soon LoCo.
Morning all. Had 2 friends over for dinner on Saturday, I haven't entertained in a very long time, which is why I limited it to two guests. Really good night. Other than that, not much. Off to see if I an get a bikini watch in town later, and eyebrows threaded.
Is it really meant to snow today, please say no… PLEASE SAY NO!
@Not just on the inside: not in Ireland, as far as I know. North England, and Central Europe yes.
But I'm starting to get worried because it is snowing where I am (on the continent) and all my colleagues who live far from work are getting nervous, because they remember being stuck on the motorway 2 years ago because of the snow.
Morning all, had a lovely weekend so I should be all relaxed but I've got a pounding headache already and I'm grumpy from my hour+ wait at the doctors this morning to get my prescriptions renewed.
Himself was at his christmas party on Fri night so I went got my eyebrows done in a new place – bit worried in the beginning but they turned out lovely! £3! Anyways I sat on my bum for the night and watched movies Then on Sat himself got home around 10am and we watched Love/Hate for the day. It's so good!
Sunday we went for brunch and walked through Winter Wonderland in Hyde park which was lovely.
Morning ladies,
Sounds like y'all had eventful weekends!! Mine was spent assiting in xmas shopping with the ma and then the BF, saw twilight much to my protests but enjoyed it in the end!!
I love the snow usually but seeing as it takes me 2 hours every morning as it is to get to work, dont fancy trying it in the snow!
Gonna get the rest of my xmas shopping done this weekend and be done with it!!!
Morning folkses. Wrecked after a long weekend; taking a half day to try and reapply for admission to humanity.
Bobby, I dread those sort of parties big time; I can just picture it here. Oh Benji's poops are 3 inches long and he's only had tapeworm once. Well the cheque for my Katie's admission to Billy Barry's stage school for spoilt brats has cashed so she's down to the last 283 auditions; isn't she great? Hector ate all the chicken nuggets in his happy meal last night, he is going to be a big boy
Witchgirl; am mega jealous. And I thought I was good getting €60 of points last weekend
Hey Ladies,
Could anyone recommend a good eye cream? I'm getting to "that age", prevention is better than cure and all that!!
Morning beauties! Could have happily spent the day in bed… I don't think Mondays are my thing
Glad to hear everyone had a lovely weekend!
I had loads of sleep, went out twice and just had a nice time altogether!
Well I hope ye all have a great day ahead xox
Bobby Pins, I've done a wee bit of satire writing but nothing too excessive. I've a book or two in me, I know I have
AnneMarie, the No 7 Protect and Perfect Eye Cream is really, really, really good. And cheap. And 3 for 2
Morning all. I registered on the net-a porter website last week thanks to some of the gift recommendations on a post here and guess what they have free international shipping TODAY only, I'm so glad I had held off buying this for my sis now http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/327335
Just saved a whopping €15 on p&p!

See's Egg Quartet
While I was at See's a couple of weeks ago on the prowl for the Scotchmallow Eggs, I decided to try some of their other Easter offerings. Like many boxed chocolate companies, they had the regular boxed chocolates in their spring finery. See's has always been a bit classic looking, a little retro, perhaps even a little stuffy. But most people who've had their products know that most of the effort goes into the chocolates themselves. Most of the designs for the holiday packaging, in fact, haven't change in years. I know I've actually bought some of the boxes ten years ago. I find that comforting, as I have trouble buying the same bra as scant six months ... because you know, a good underwire can go out of fashion.
The tray inside isn't really that sassy, it's just a formed piece of thin white plastic, but it does the trick of keeping all the eggs in their place. Note that the Bordeaux, that's covered in jimmies, was actually wrapped in clear plastic (the only one). I'm guessing that's to keep the jimmies from going everywhere.
Each Egg weighs about 2 ounces. I ate them by slicing them up, usually into three of four slices. I suppose you could just consider them a big candy bar and eat it all yourself.
Peanut Butter Egg - I've never had this before! It's awesome. It's not quite like a Reese's Egg. (Though it is about the same size, but taller.) The center is a very smooth and dense peanut butter, lightly sweet and just a little crumbly. It's not better or worse than Reese's (except of course the chocolate is superior), just different. They sell the Peanut Butter Egg separately, and with good reason.
As far as I know, this Egg does not come in a single piece in the mixed boxes. So consider this a seasonal item. (I'll have to check if they sell regular pieces just at the store, you know, like ordering off the menu.)
Bordeaux Egg - I've never been quite sure what the Bordeaux See's piece was until I looked it up on their website. It comes in a round piece in most boxes of chocolates in either milk or dark chocolate, and has some little jimmies on it. This piece was milk chocolate. The jimmies are actually pretty good, instead of being minute waxy rods made to look like chocolate, they might actually be chocolate. The Bordeaux filling is called a brown sugar buttercream. It's light and creamy, with a cooling feel on the tongue like powdered sugar but a mild caramel taste comes into play.
The Bordeaux is available in mixed boxes and a pre-wrapped "bar" like the Scotchmallow.
Cocoanut Egg - I love the cocoanut egg. The dark chocolate on the outside, in my opinion, is different from the Scotchmallow. It tastes milder, maybe a little more buttery. The center is a smooth cream with coconut flakes. It's not super-dense like a Mounds bar; it's more delicate and has a nuttier flavor and less texture.
This comes in the mixed box, but I think only in milk chocolate. I did pick up a few of the dark chocolate cocoanut pieces while at the store. I think I prefer the ratio of chocolate to coconut cream center in the singles.
Chocolate Walnut Egg ... oops, I didn't eat this one. You'll have to ask my husband how it was. It must have been pretty good, he ate it. They make a version of this without walnuts, but it's sold separately. Batteries not included.
Overall, I thought these were great quality and a tasty assortment. But I probably wouldn't buy them again (well, for starters 25% of it was off limits), but I think it makes a great gift and all the flavors are winners. Very fresh and generous.
For the $8.40 I spent here, I think I'd be happier with the Nuts & Chews (dark), but that's just me. Considering that the Peanut Butter isn't available otherwise, I might opt for one of those in a single large egg.
See's is running a contest through the beginning of June, giving away a box of candy a month for a year. Enter once, they announce winners every month.

Wawel Chocolates
Kokosowe is a dark chocolate covered coconut center. The center is not at all like a Mounds bar, but more like a coconutty York Peppermint Pattie ... it's a stiff and slightly crumbly fondant that melts in your mouth and then later the chewy toasted coconut becomes chewy.
I'm a fan of coconut and I enjoyed the more toasted flavors, a refreshing change from the usual sticky chew of a Mounds bar.
Kasztanki is a large chestnut looking piece like the others. This one is a semisweet chocolate covering a center of cocoa cream and crushed wafers. It's crunchy and has a light rum and perhaps coffee flavor to it. The crunch is really interesting because the bits are so small and the flavor is rather light. It reminded me a bit of some other Eastern European candies I've had before, except this is good quality.
Malaga was the one name that I kind of understood, though I'm not sure what the candy is. As far as I can tell it's a flowing raisin caramel center in semi-sweet chocolate. Or perhaps the center is more like a cordial or marmalade. It's a rather unusual combination but the flavor reminds me a little bit of the Rum Nougats that See's makes (but not the texture, of course). There are little bits of raisins and the dark chocolate provides a good complement to the sweet but flavorful center.
Tiki Taki was definitely the most interesting of the bunch with an uncommon combination of flavors. The top layer is a nice mild peanut butter praline, and the bottom layer is a smooth but crumbly fondant of coconut like the Kokosowe. It seems to work pretty well, the roasted nut flavors of the peanut butter go really well with the coconut, which plays it pretty mild here.
Wawel may be popping up more in ethnic and upscale grocers. I wouldn't be surprised if you see it at places like Cost Plus World Market. Part of what I find interesting is that these chocolates taste different than others. The flavor combinations on both the Tiki Taki and Malaga are unlike others that I've had. As long as the price points are consistent with other upscale consumer chocolates, I can see them making inroads here in the states. View their online catalogue. I could only find one online retailer (Canadian) that had Wawel products, but it at least gives the sense that as an imported chocolate brand they're quite reasonably priced.

Pralines Leonidas
Leonidas is a classic Belgian chocolatier with a Greek name. They make a huge variety of chocolates (their website says 100) and sell at 1,400 shops around the world (many in airports). Their website also has photos and descriptions of all of their chocolates. I wish I'd known that when I got this huge box, I had no clue what was inside here.
No matter, it's all good!
The Pralines Leonidas assortment has a narrow focus on all things hazelnut with a good balance of dark, milk and white chocolate. There were pralin?s, pastes, truffles, croquants, gianduja and even a marzipan or two. It wasn't all noisettes, there was also a cherry paste and what I believe is a chocolate covered cherry (that red foil one which is the only thing in the box right now). Some had a nice tickle of rum or coffee tipped into them. There were different textures for the hazelnuts - from a thick paste to a near solid chocolate assembly.
Leonidas runs on the sweet side, but the nut flavors are awesome. The chocolate is smooth and mellow, don't expect anything strong or vibrant here, just some old fashioned hazelnut goodness. Oh, and the box is pretty cool. It's a long faux leather box with two lids, the outermost lid locks the box tight with a magnetic strip but when you open it you can still gaze at the chocolate inside through the plastic window on the inner lid.
I haven't visited a Leonidas store in person (which is odd because there's one within walking distance of my office), but I imagine they can fix you right up for Valentine's Day. Personally, now that I've tried a wide variety of their product line, I'm going to stick with the dark chocolate items and perhaps try more of the fruit jellies (I actually liked the cherry paste quite a bit and think they'll do a good job on the others).

Christopher Norman
This was another birthday gift last month and of the cache of sweet treats, I can say that this one was not a home run. I think it has less to do with the quality and presentation of the product than the simple fact that the flavor combo just isn't to my liking.
The box of 12 bonbons looks like little pom-poms in brown fluted cups. They're called Coconut Snowballs which is pretty much what I would call them if asked. The package itself offers no explanation of what it is. The little card on the ribbon simply says, "An astonishing blend of provacative flavors created to arouse and stimulate the palate fo the most demanding client in the world ... you!"
Each little sphere starts with a white chocolate truffle cream, encased in a white chocolate shell and coated with coconut flakes.
They were creamy on the inside and had a good nutty bite and chew of coconut. They weren't sickeningly sweet but the centers weren't as smooth as I'd like, kind of grainy. Overall they were nice, but lacked an oomph that I don't think these ingredients can provide.
I'm still curious about Christopher Norman's other offerings and will pick them up the next chance I get (after I've finished all my other chocolates in my stash, of course). But the remainder of these will probably be given away.

Russell Stover Heart
Last year I was pleasantly surprised by Russell Stovers Cream Eggs. I still haven't been eating their mixed boxes of chocolates, but the fact that they were making good quality product at a rather low price really captured my attention.
Now, I'm still not a boxed chocolates fan. See's is probably the exception because I like just about everything they make, but I've been hesitant to try Russell Stover, especially after the middle of the road experience with the Whitman's Sampler (RS & Whitman's are now the same company). But this is All Valentines Week and it wouldn't be complete if I didn't have at least a little bit. So I picked up the smallest Russell Stover Assorted Chocolates I could find.
I figured the little cup here was a coconut and milk chocolate mix, similar to the Coconut Wreath I had last year for the Christmas season. The coconut is crisp and the milk chocolate is creamy and not-too-sweet. I rather like things that come in little cups like this, they're more appealing that some plop shaped items and easy to bite off a bit and leave the rest in the cup.
The square chocolate is a firm caramel covered in milk chocolate. It's nice, it could use more salt, but the texture is just perfect. Smooth, chewy and with a good buttery flavor.
The dark oval is a fudge center. It had a good caramel tone to it, but very little chocolatey taste.
Overall the assortment was fresh and looked very appealing. They were a little too ordinary to capture my tastebuds and compel me to pick up the next one (isn't it the anticipation in a box of chocolates that's supposed to be appealing?). If you're looking for a little something to give as a gift or thank you (like coworkers or classmates, etc.), I don't think people would be insulted by these. If you catch them on sale (as I did), they're probably cheaper than a greeting card (and have a little "to & from" label on the bottom). These are definitely preferable to the Elmer's I had yesterday (so splurge for the Russell Stover if you must buy these little boxes) and the label lists no trans fats.
Russell Stover also has an organic line. I picked up some pecan turtles (not wrapped for any particular holiday) that I'll get to reviewing soon.

100 Grand Coconut
100 Grand was one of my favorite bars when I was a kid. Back then they were called $100,000 Bars and there was some sort of jingle that went with it that I've forgotten (and I know a lot of jingles). The bars when first introduced were one piece, a long log of caramel, crispies and chocolate. Later when the name changed they made it into two pieces, which I fully supported in theory, but didn't try at the time because of the Nestle boycott (which I followed from 1983 until 1989 or so).
The 100 Grand was a bar I missed (and I have to admit that I had a few fun sized ones during that boycott period because they were around in office candy dishes or brought home as Halloween booty by someone). There's nothing else like it on the market.
Of course it hasn't been immune to the Limited Edition craze and has undergone at least two versions, the Dark (yummy) and the Peanut (shrug). What's especially confusing is that this 100 Grand with Coconut is not a limited edition version of the bar. It appears to be an actual addition to the line. CandyAddict's commenters spotted them a full year ago, yet there's no mention of them on Nestle's website (well, there's very little mention of the 100 Grand bar on Nestle's site, period).
I saw this on SugarSavvy.net a few weeks ago. Joanna got a hold of two new items from Nestle, the 100 Grand with Coconut and the Crunch Bar with Coconut. I have to say that I was skeptical about this version, but I had to pick it up when I saw it.
The bar looks the same as always. The difference is inside. Instead of putting the coconut shreds in the milk chocolate coating with the crisped rice, they put it into the caramel center. What this does, however, is ruin the texture of the chewy, stringy caramel. It's now more solid and a bit grainier. (See the 100 Grand Dark photo for a better view of what the caramel is supposed to look like.) Joanna pegs it when she calls it a version of Brach's Neapolitan.
The final curiosity of this bar is that it's bilingual. It's in both English and Spanish. I don't know if it's supposed to be marketed in Hispanic neighborhoods or if it's for export and they've decided to carry it in the States as well.

Whitman's Sampler Tin
This was a super-cute stocking stuffer that Santa gave me this year. I have to say that Whitman's has never been of much interest to me. Perhaps it's that I've found them a bit stale tasting. But it also might be the package, sure Whitman's Samplers are retro looking, but that not-so-fresh appearance may have been affecting my taste.
But without the regular packaging, I have to say these looked pretty good. The tin has a Tiffany blue background and gold printing. It's about the same size as a Sucrets lozenge tin, but a little deeper. Each piece of candy is nestled in a little perfect-shaped spot in the plastic tray.
The long milk chocolate rectangle was called Milk Chocolate Butter Cream, which was a kind of chewy sweet fudge. Very sweet, but a pleasant flavor combination.
The round dark chocolate piece was called Dark Chocolate Coconut and unsurprisingly had a coconut center like a Mounds bar. Fresh tasting and not too sweet, the real winner in the box.
The Messenger Boy was cute, with it's little cross-stitch look. It was a small tablet of milk chocolate. Sweet and unremarkable.
The last one was the Milk Chocolate Caramel which was just the right consistency. Easy to bite but chewy with nice long strands of caramelized sugar and butter. It could have used some more salt to balance the very sweet milk chocolate.
Do they beat See's (my touchstone for inexpensive boxed chocolates)? No, not even close. These were fresh tasting but a little too "middle of the road" for me. I wanted more zing, more flavor and less sweet. But I do love the tin.
I am curious to try their new Organic Sampler at some point.

Russell Stover Coconut Wreath
I went looking for Christmas candy of all sorts last week during the holiday break. I seem to have the best luck at Walgreen's since they have dependable sales and a clean store (I also went to Target, but everything came in super-jumbo bags). As I expected Russell Stover's has their assortment of single-serving goodies that are similar to the Easter and Halloween ones. I did, however, find one that I'd not seen before, the Russell Stover Coconut Wreath
They were on sale for 50 cents, so I could hardly pass it up. I'm a sucker for coconut haystacks which is what I expected this to be.
I wasn't disappointed either. The plop of coconut and milk chocolate was shiny and smelled of coconut. The coconut was crunchy and well-toasted, giving it a much more chewy texture than something like a Mounds bar. The coconut bits were rather small, like little flecks instead of being little curls like you'd find in a bag of coconut shreds in the baking aisle.
It wasn't too sweet at all, just a nice mellow mix with an interesting texture.
If I was disappointed it was at the shape. I expected something that looked like a donut, instead it's just a plop. What's like a wreath about this? Or was mine malformed and had a filled center?
I have to say that I'm pleased that Candy Blog has prompted me to give the Russell Stover holiday lines a chance. Their quality is excellent (no PGPR in the chocolate) and when on sale they're about the same price as any consumer candy bar and usually feature less common flavor combinations.
Other Russell Stover holiday candy reviews:
Pumpkins: Vanilla Marshmallow and Marshmallow & Caramel
Cream Eggs: Strawberry, Maple & Coconut
Meticulously photographed and documented reviews of candy from around the world. And the occasional other sweet adventures. Open your mouth, expand your mind.

Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez feels Juan Mata should be in the running for the clubs Player of the Year award.
The Spaniard has scored 18 goals and provided 29 assists in all competitions this season and Benitez suggests he has been the Blues best player all campaign.
"Over the whole season, analyse his performances he should be considered for sure," said Benitez.
"He's played a lot of games with a lot of goals and assists. To have played two games every week for months, he's been so good.
"In the Premier League, you have good players in every team. Mata is our player and he's doing really well, a very good professional, and his numbers are fantastic. He is a player with 18 goals and 29 assists.
"Game intelligence is the key. He is very clever; he finds space and has quality and vision. He likes to play between the lines, in front of the centre-backs. It's not easy to find these players; that's why they're expensive. Gianfranco Zola was this type, not too big but game intelligence to get into the box."

Matching the correct wine with food helps to enhance the flavours of what you're eating and drinking. Given the effort that goes into cooking Christmas lunch, it would be a shame not to make the meal as delicious as possible.
Majestic is giving away five cases of 12 bottles of wine, worth over £100, to be enjoyed with your Christmas menu, be that the traditional turkey, beef, goose or salmon. Of course, the prize also includes the perfect champagne for a celebration. And to prove that Majestic has thought of everything, there are a couple of wines that make a perfect accompaniment to a cheese board.
Majestic is the biggest wine retailer in the UK. In every one of its stores, salespeople are trained in guiding customers to wines they may not have tried before, but still perfectly match the occasion. The contents of this prize demonstrate Majestic's ability to put the right wines with the right food.
The case includes two bottle of fizz, Canard-Duchêne Brut and Prosecco Treviso Spumante, both ideal for parties. Turkey can be enjoyed with either a red or a white, and Majestic has given the prizewinner an option with a fruity chardonnay and a young red Mâcon. Meanwhile, a white Mâcon-Villages, with its crisp, minerally finish, is a perfect accompaniment to goose. With beef, naturally, you want a robust red so Majestic has included in this stunning prize a Châteuneuf-du-Pape and an Australian shiraz from Clare Valley.
Non-meat eaters may be cooking a side of salmon for Christmas lunch and a bottle of Domaine Servin Chablis 2011, with its famously steely and flinty edge, is a perfect match for the fish. And should the prizewinner finish the Christmas feast with a cheese board, comprising, perhaps, an English stilton and a mature cheddar, then Majestic's inclusion of a Côtes du Rhône and a Château Grivière 2004, with grapes from the former Château Lafite-Rothschild vineyard, will ensure the meal is rounded off with a flourish.
For your chance to win, simply fill in your details below. Entrants must be 18 years of age or older.

Emerson Brooks - Beg
Artist: Emerson Brooks
Producer: Alex Isaak, Emerson Brooks
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 3 votes )
This Saturday, March 1, T-Dot singer/songwriter Emerson Brooks will be celebrating his 27th birthday. No need to go shopping for a present, though; there's only one item on his wish list, and it ain't sold in stores. On Beg, a new single released in anticipation of the big day, the T-Dot singer/songwriter and producer asks a certain woman to give him the love and affection he's been craving: "I don't want no handout, just a little recognition / You don't gotta put your man down, just give me what I'm missin'." To back his plaintive, Autotune-laced vocals, he and behind-the-boards collaborator Alex Isaak cook up a delicate beat driven by gentle guitar strums, synths and srting harmonies. Beg will be part of a forthcoming "organic compilation," details on which have yet to be announced. Keep it locked for the latest on that project, as well, as on Emerson's yet-unscheduled debut EP, Purple.

Boedker goal gives Coyotes OT win
CHICAGO Marian Hossa had passed the puck and turned just slightly when Phoenix's Raffi Torres delivered a crushing blow with his shoulder that left the Chicago Blackhawks star crumpled on the ice.
Even as medical personnel rushed to his side, it was obvious that Hossa was not going to get up from the first-period blow. And minutes later, the sight of him being hauled off the ice on a stretcher brought a hush to the United Center crowd that had been buzzing.
Hossa had tests at a hospital and was released and is expected to recover, but the Blackhawks are really short-handed now, trailing the Coyotes 2-1 in the series with Game 4 Thursday night.
Phoenix got a short-angled goal from Mikkel Boedker and prevailed 3-2 Tuesday night in the teams' third straight overtime game.
Losing Hossa hurt nearly as much losing the game. Especially since it involved Torres, who has long been a villain in Chicago. He knocked Brent Seabrook to the ice a year ago while playing for Vancouver.
"Of course we're angry. It's a natural reaction for anybody," Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said.
"Everyone loves Hoss, respects him and loves him as a teammate. ... We wanted to win that game for him tonight, but came up short. We've got to focus on getting the next one for him."
That will be tough to do in a tight series and without forward Andrew Shaw, who was suspended three games Tuesday for his hit on Phoenix goalie Mike Smith in Game 2.
In overtime, there is no margin for error. And when you play three straight, it's also a battle against fatigue.
"It rolled through his legs," Boedker said of his game-winning shot from the left side that eluded Corey Crawford. "I was trying to hit his pad. I thought of going to the net, and I was actually shooting for a rebound, but it went through his legs and that was good for me and good for everybody in here.
"Now we're up 2-1 and that's the position that we like very much."
That Torres did not draw a penalty brought a pointed response from Chicago coach Joel Quenneville.
"It was a brutal hit," Quenneville said. "I saw exactly what happened. It was right in front of me. How four guys missed it was hard. The refereeing tonight was a disgrace."
Asked if he was concerned about coming off his skates to make the hit, Torres said: "I'm not going to answer that.
"I felt like it was a hockey play. I was just trying to finish my hit out there," he said.
The Blackhawks released a statement on Hossa right as the game ended.
"After initial evaluation on the ice, (Hossa) was taken by ambulance to the hospital for further testing, which yielded encouraging results," team physician Dr. Michael Terry said. "He has been released from the hospital and we are monitoring him closely at home."
The Blackhawks already were without Shaw, who was suspended on Tuesday for a hit that knocked Smith to the ice - but didn't force him out of Saturday night's Game 2. Smith was booed loudly Tuesday night, especially when he went behind the net to get a puck early in the game.

On Rings & Crowns, featured earlier this month, Add-2 expressed confidence that he was destined to join the ranks of hip-hop royalty. For now, though, the Windy City emcee remains a hungry Underdog. And I do mean hungry. As evidence of just how bad Add wants to succeed, I present this newly-released mixtape single. Backed by Thelonious Martin's bombastic brass loops, the emcee unleashes some of the most fast and furious flows I've heard in a hot minute, stopping only to catch his breath and taunt rival emcees: "Show me what competition look like—I wanna know!" Feeling it? More fresh tunes await on More Missed Calls, dropping this Thursday (4/25) via our colleagues at 2DopeBoyz.com.

The Mona Lisa, with her ironic smile, is one of the most reproduced paintings in the world.
It's on everything: pincushions, linens, lampshades and wallets, anything one can imagine.
In the early 20th century, French Dadaist Marcel Duchamp painted a moustache on the Mona Lisa to suggest how mundane he believed this iconic work of Renaissance art had become.
Despite Duchamp's insult, most art connoisseurs continue to admire Mona Lisa, seeing an enigmatic beauty in the sitter. She was painted by 15th-century artist Leonardo da Vinci, but few of us are familiar with much of his work since so many of his pieces remained unfinished.
Canadian-born art historian Ross King has investigated another famous da Vinci painting in his book, Leonardo and The Last Supper. The fresco stretches across the wall in a Milanese convent, Santa Maria delle Grazie. Da Vinci painted The Last Supper for the Sforza family, who ruled the city state of Milan during the Renaissance.
King's investigation into Leonardo's work is remarkable: there are 10 pages of bibliography for a book that has fewer than 300 pages of text.
He notes Leonardo was an autodidact who studied the mechanisms of the body, doing autopsies on dead animals and humans; explored astronomy and mathematics (seen in his drawing of the circle of the Vitruvian Man with his arms and legs spread); and spent much time hiking around the Arno Valley sketching nature scenes.
He also created remarkable artillery machines and is credited with drawing the first flying machine, among the many other devices born from his imagination.
We're aware of his notebooks, which seemed coded because the writing was backwards. King notes: "His notebooks are filled with reminders to ask questions of friends and acquaintances: how a tower in Ferrara was constructed, how the people in Flanders 'go on the ice' in winter, how the capon hatches the eggs of the hen."
King shows us how studious and inquisitive Leonardo was. Through mathematical investigation and the study of light and shade, Leonardo began to create fantastic effects in his paintings. The interplay of light and shade in The Last Supper has faded but art experts during Leonardo's time noted the brilliance of the work, remarking that the painting of light and shade even extended to the floor where the legs of the table cast oblique shadows.
King's book contains biographical details, including Leonardo's fixation on an adolescent known as Salai — whose features may have been used to enliven the Mona Lisa. Yet we know so little about Leonardo's life — King takes the right approach by focusing on the artist's work.
King's book is a worthy read for those interested in Leonardo. He makes it clear The Last Supper is worth a detour to Milan. The convent has been used as a stable and it was bombed during the Second World War, but after a 20-year restoration began in 1977, the fresco again reflects something of the painter's skill, showing a group of men in realistic discussion around a table.
King is able to evoke and analyze how Leonardo went about his work and offers a brief, unforgettable, story.
The young man in the office next to mine, an artist himself, grabbed King's book before I'd even finished it, eager like other admirers to learn the secrets of Leonardo's brilliance.

Deddington is a civil parish in Oxfordshire about 6 miles (10 km) south of Banbury. In scale Deddington is a village, but it has a town centre with a market place and the local football team is called Deddington Town FC.[2]
The name is thought to derive from Daeda, probably an early Anglo-Saxon nobleman, and means "the place of the people of Daeda". The village is believed to have been first settled in the 6th or 7th century AD.
After the Norman conquest of England in 1066, William the Conqueror's step-brother Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, held the manor of Deddington. Odo had Deddington Castle built in what is now the east of the town. The castle was almost completely demolished in the 14th century. There have been two archaeological excavations at the site, in 1947 and in 1978.[3] The remains were recovered once the excavations were complete and only the extensive earthworks are visible today.
On 9 June 1312 the Earl of Pembroke was escorting Piers Gaveston south after Gaveston's surrender to a group of rebellious earls at Scarborough Castle. The party stopped to rest at an inn in Deddington,[4] and Pembroke who had guaranteed Gaveston's safety to the king on pain of forfeiting his lands, went to visit his wife at Bampton Castle, Oxfordshire, about 25 miles (40 km) away. The Earl of Warwick with his men surrounded the inn and Gaveston, seeing that his guards would not fight, had to come outside to be chained and thrown in prison. Warwick, whom Gaveston had earlier called black cur (black dog), a serious insult at that time, had now bitten him. A few days later Gaveston, who had been appointed Earl of Cornwall by the king was taken to Warwick to be tried by the other earls and condemned to death. On June 19 he was taken to Blacklow Hill by the Earl of Lancaster and hacked to death by two Welshmen. This event is recalled by a chained eagle in Deddington's coat of arms.
The oldest parts of the Church of England parish church of St. Peter and St. Paul date from the early 13th century.[5] The church once had a tall spire but it collapsed onto the nave in 1634,[6] rendering it unusable for several years. In 1643, during the English Civil War, Charles I requisitioned the bells from the damaged tower,[7] presumably for scrap.
After 1643 there is no record of SS. Peter and Paul having any bells until the middle of the 18th century, by which time it had a ring of four.[7] The present tower has a ring of eight bells cast by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry: six by Thomas Mears in 1791 and two by Mears and Stainbank in 1946.[8]
SS. Peter and Paul's stained glass windows include the east window of the chancel by Charles Kempe and two windows at the east end of the north aisle by A.J. Davies of the Bromsgrove Guild of Applied Arts.[9]
Deddington Wesleyan Reform Church was built in 1851[9] and is a member of the Wesleyan Reform Union.[10]
In the 18th century Deddington had a succession of clockmakers, all drawn from the Quaker community of north Oxfordshire. John Fardon (I) (1700–43) was apprenticed to Thomas Gilkes of Sibford Gower and traded in Deddington from about 1723.[11] His only son John Fardon (II) (1736–86) was only 10 years old when his father died and seems to have been apprenticed in London.[12] In his absence Thomas Harris, a Quaker from Sibford Ferris, ran the business in Deddington until about 1762, when he married a Fardon from North Newington.[13] His history thereafter is not known but he died at Milton and is buried in the grounds of the Friends' Meeting House at Adderbury West.[13] John Fardon (II) returned from his apprenticeship and made longcase clocks.[12][14] He too is buried at Adderbury West.[12]
Thomas Fardon (1787–1838) made various timepieces including an Act of Parliament clock,[12] longcase clocks[15] and verge watches.[15] He also installed the turret clocks at the parish churches of St. Mary the Virgin, Kidlington in 1805 and SS. Peter and Paul, Deddington in 1833.[15] John Fardon (III) (1782–1865)[14] was a watchmaker who was known to have carried out repairs between 1801 and 1830.[12] He moved his business to Woodstock in 1838 and maintained the clock at St. Mary the Virgin, Kidlington from 1839 until 1862.[14]
Joshua Gibbs was either apprenticed to or employed by the Fardons.[16] He traded first at Souldern and then succeeded the Fardons at Deddington,[16] perhaps when John Fardon (III) moved to Woodstock in 1838. Gibbs' dates of birth and death are not known but he was trading from 1805 until 1855.[16]
Old Court House[edit]
The Old Court House was a private home until 1854, when the architect J.C. Buckler converted it into a prison.[17] The architect William Wilkinson added the magistrates' room in 1874.[17] The building now houses the local public library.[18]
From 1673 Deddington had a charity school "in a corner of the church".[19] In 1815 separate boys' and girls' National Schools were founded to take over from the charity school.[19] By 1816 the two schools were teaching 35 children between them, including about 20 from neighbouring parishes.[19] By 1832 the school was housed in converted buildings, including a barn, attached to Appletree Farm in Hopcraft Lane.[19]
Support for Deddington's National Schools declined until in 1848 they had only 80 pupils between them.[19] Purpose-built boys' and girls' school buildings were designed by William Hambley of London and completed in 1854 on a new site in Banbury Road.[20] The two schools were an immediate success and pupil numbers recovered to 180 by 1856.[19] Attendance varied with the seasons, as in summer farm-workers' children tended to help more on the farm. In 1868, 247 children attended the school in winter but only 191 in summer.[19] Boys and girls remained in separate schools on the same site until 1908, when the girls' school became the infants' school and the boys' school became a mixed school for the older children.[19]
In 1951 the Windmill Secondary Modern School was completed on the site of the former windmill in Hempton Road[19] and the former National School was reorganised as a primary school. In 1958 the Diocese of Oxford modernised the primary school with a new kitchen, cloakrooms, WCs, corridor, a new classroom and enlarged windows for the old classrooms.[21] The modernisation was designed by the Diocesan Surveyor, the architect T. Lawrence Dale.[21]
In 1971 the Windmill School was closed, and since then most Deddington children of secondary school age have attended The Warriner School, Bloxham.[19] The former secondary school is now the Windmill Centre and is used by Deddington Pre-School.[22] Deddington Primary School continues to use the buildings in Banbury Road.[23]
Deddington has a regular farmers' market, several local shops, hotels and restaurants and four pubs:

- The Deddington Arms Hotel[26]

The Muir Woods are a superb refuge for the busy San Francisco. Sausalito has fantastic views on the bay. Half a day is perfect to see both, especially with the great guide we had.

ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Rams picked Todd Gurley of Georgia with the 10th overall pick of the NFL draft Thursday night, making him the first running back taken in the first round since 2012.
ATHENS - Joni Crenshaw, Andy Landers' top assistant the last three years, was named Sunday to succeed him as the Georgia women's basketball coach.
ATHENS - Coach Mark Richt said Georgia's quarterback competition "is still a race" after watching Brice Ramsey and Faton Bauta share time with the first-team offense in Georgia's G-Day spring game Saturday.
Sterling Bailey isn't ready to start reminiscing yet. While his years playing football at Georgia have flown by, he's still got one more season to line up at defensive end for the Bulldogs.
ATHENS - A.J. Turman, who has never played in a regular-season game for Georgia, is emerging as a tailback to watch in 2015.
ATHENS - Rising star Lorenzo Carter is helping to make outside linebacker perhaps the strength of Georgia's 2015 defense.
ATHENS - Freshman Jacob Park threw for 187 yards on only four completions in Georgia's first spring scrimmage on Saturday.
ATHENS - The challenge of learning new offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer's playbook has evened Georgia's three-man quarterback competition.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - At times, Michigan State showed off its tournament-tested look, getting out in transition and pushing back with poise after a run by its opponent.
ATHENS - While he continues to rehab his knee - and his reputation - Todd Gurley is relying on game film to make his case for the NFL draft.
ATHENS - Marcus Thornton's postseason value to Georgia is about more than leading the Bulldogs in scoring and rebounds.
ATHENS - Georgia has to replace some important pieces from the highest-scoring offense in school history.
ATHENS - Georgia's NCAA tournament outlook rests heavily on its medical report.
ATLANTA - Andy Landers has ended a run of longevity that is rare in major college sports, retiring after 36 seasons as the only full-time coach in the history of the Georgia women's program.
Michigan State, always dangerous when spring gets close, is headed for a warmer climate as the No. 7 seed in the East Regional of the NCAA Tournament.

But last yr he had all F's and was always in trouble the school he was at didn't want to help him they gave up. My son has ADHD and ADD and having him go to the Academy was the last thing on my mind I didn't want him there. But I gave it a chance which was the best thing I could have done.. My son was getting A's and B's has a 2.9... Thank you Mrs P and Mrs Colman

MILWAUKEE Nyjer Morgan scored on a fly ball by Ryan Braun in the 10th inning to give the Brewers a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night, the second late-inning thriller in a row for Milwaukee.
With the bases loaded and one out, Braun lofted a shallow fly ball to center field. Morgan took off for home despite a stop sign from third base coach Ed Sedar and was called safe on a close play at the plate - although replays showed that he may have been tagged out before reaching the plate. It didn't matter to Morgan, who was mobbed by his teammates after sliding home.
Reliever Matt Guerrier (0-1) took the loss for the Dodgers, who have lost the first two games of the series.
Kameron Loe (1-0) earned the win.
Aramis Ramirez hit his first home run of the season for the Brewers, shaking off what has been a sluggish start to the season with his new team.
Guerrier walked Jonathan Lucroy to lead off the bottom of the 10th, and Lucroy was lifted for Morgan as a pinch runner. Cesar Izturis then popped out on a bunt attempt, but Morgan stole second with Rickie Weeks at the plate - then went to third on a bad throw by catcher A.J. Ellis.
The Dodgers put Weeks on first with an intentional walk, bringing Kottaras to the plate. The Dodgers made a defensive shift, with five infielders and two outfielders, and Weeks stole second. Guerrier then walked Kottaras to load the bases for Braun with one out.
The Brewers also won Tuesday night's series opener in thrilling fashion, on a two-run double in the ninth by Kottaras.
Zack Greinke gave up two runs and four hits in seven innings, with two walks and seven strikeouts.
Greinke came into Wednesday's game with a 12-0 record and 2.91 ERA in 16 starts as a Brewer at Miller Park. His 12-game home winning streak is the longest in franchise history.
Greinke was coming off a rough road outing against the Cubs last Thursday, where he gave up eight runs in only 3 2-3 innings and took the loss.
Dodgers starter Chris Capuano went six innings, giving up two runs in six innings against his former team. Capuano had two separate stints with the Brewers, from 2004-07 and in 2010, and was an All-Star in 2006.
The Dodgers got to Greinke in the first inning when Mark Ellis smacked a one-out double and Matt Kemp followed with an RBI single for a 1-0 lead.
Milwaukee came back to tie it in the second. After Aramis Ramirez was thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double, Corey Hart doubled and Mat Gamel drove him in.
The Dodgers retook the lead in the fifth with a leadoff double by Jerry Hairston Jr., a single by Tony Gwynn Jr. and a grounder by A.J. Ellis for a forceout at second base that allowed the run to score for a 2-1 lead.
