I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, the room was clean, comfortable and spacious. On the whole service was good. I would visit this hotel again."
I was in room 301. Great room. However, I needed to work at the room, and there was no desk. I had to sit on the tall chairs on the balcony and it was very uncomfortable.. It hurts the back!"
The hotel is the most convenient location for an overnight at CPT. It is fresh, comfortable and friendly. I would definitely book it a again."
Large room with all the facilities you would expect from a five star hotel. The breakfast spread is very good. Service is very good as well with everyone answering any question with yes we can do. The location is ideal for anyone who has anything to do in Sandton or wants to be in the middle of the Sandton CBD."
The hotel was great overall. The room and bathroom were decently sized. The gym was also nice, for a hotel one. The location was great for shopping, banking, dining and was close to the Guatrain for convenience. The issues I had were the breakfast was below expectation and the hotel promised to change my bed to a King size one, but never did. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and will certainly stay there again."
Disappointed is all I can say. The room was now old looking and not so clean. The food was terrible. If it wasn't for the service, I would rate it at 3 stars.."
Very large, well appointed rooms with period decor is the main thing about this place. Highly recommend."
my fiance and I have a greg time stayed in this hotel. the staffs are friendly and the breakfast is brilliant. many choices. I particular like the food in their restaurant as they do very good food. thanks for everything."
it was great, the hotel is clean and the staff are wonderful"
A great place to stay for a safari. Literally in the park! They did great with our kids, even allowing kids of all ages on the guided safari (or "real safari truck" as my 4 year old calls it)."
Fantastic hotel and grounds. The staff were mostly friendly but obviously not particularly well trained and didn't seem to have an understanding of the hotel policies etc. Would definitely stay again, but it's shame that some of the staff let the standards slip. One sticking point was that they tried to charge us more when we were checking out because we had 3 people and they don't allow 3 adults in a room - even with two double beds. I rang beforehand to tell them of this and at check in they knew we were 3 adults - with no issue. It was only at check out they decided to charge us another 1/3 of the total, which we refused to pay. Clearly the staff we spoke to beforehand and at check in didn't know the policies well enough, but they shouldn't have tried to charge us for their mistake."
We stayed at the Lodge in December 2014 for 2 nights. What an amazing experience. The game drives were fantastic. Our guide Shawn was very good and we were lucky enough to see Lions , Elephants, Giraffe, Leopards and Jackals. I cant recommend the game drives enough. The rooms were lovely and the service was good. Loved that all the drinks in the mini bar are free. Highly recommend Tshukudu and will treasure our memories from our time there."

David Carradine Found Dead Under Unusual Circumstances
Breaking news out of Bangkok, Thailand. Actor David Carradine (1936-2009) was found dead earlier today in his Park Nai Lert hotel room. Carradine was reportedly found hanged by the neck, naked, in his closet.
The body was discovered when Carradine was late to a meal with film crew during a recent shooting of Stretch.
According to police officials, there was no sign of struggle and the case will likely be reported as a suicide.
Carradine, 72, was most famous for his role as Kwai Chang Caine in the television series "Kung Fu". The actor also had an illustrious movie career, recently experiencing a reimergence in popularity due to his work in Kill Bill Volume I and II. Carradine also experienced success in the realms of broadway and voiceover acting.
According to the website TMZ.com, Carradine had expressed some suicidal tendencies in the past. Quote:
"In a 2004 interview dug up by the Telegraph Newspaper, the 72-year-old actor revealed that he once considered shooting himself, saying: 'Look, there was a period in my life when I had a single action Colt 45, loaded, in my desk drawer.
And every night I'd take it out and think about blowing my head off, and then decide not to and go on with my life. Put it back in the drawer and open up the laptop and continue writing my autobiography or whatever. But it was just to see.'" – TMZ
The world's of acting and martial arts have suffered a significant loss today.

Taliban vs IRA
This week's DW post is going to be a little different. Normally I do some research on Sunday and get my post out by Monday night or Tuesday morning. This leaves plenty of time for people to vote on who they think would win before the show airs on Tuesday night. This week the executive powers that be decided to run the last episode of the season on Sunday night. That being the case, I watched the episode on Monday and will do some post analysis here. Voting will still be open though as what I'm really interested in is people's opinions.
This is the kind of matchup where you have to consciously put aside your personal feelings for the two groups. As Americans, it is really easy to vote against the Taliban just because of the current wartime climate. As a Brit it's just as easy to vote against the IRA. So, the obvious issues aside, let's look at the groups and weapons.
Who are the IRA?
I'm going to let wikipedia do some talking for me because whoever wrote the wiki entries knows a lot more about this than I do:
"The Irish Republican Army (IRA) was an Irish republican revolutionary military organisation descended from the Irish Volunteers, established 25 November 1913 and who in April 1916 staged the Easter Rising.[2] The Irish Volunteers were recognised in 1919 by Dáil Éireann (its elected assembly) as the legitimate army of the unilaterally declared Irish Republic, the Irish state proclaimed at Easter in 1916 and reaffirmed by the Dáil in January 1919. Thereafter, the IRA waged a guerrilla campaign against British rule in Ireland in the Irish War of Independence from 1919–1921." – Wikipedia
The IRA was known for extreme urban guerrilla warfare. They used simple yet effective technology to do damage on a large scale. Their cells, usually 4-5 people in size, would strike quickly and unpredictably but with a large amount of planning and tactical know-how.
Who are the Taliban?
"The Taliban, also Taleban, is a pro-Wahhabi Sunni Islamist, predominately Pashtun fundamentalist religious and political movement that governed Afghanistan from 1996 until 2001, when its leaders were removed from power by Northern Alliance and NATO forces. It has regrouped and since 2004 revived as a strong insurgency movement fighting a guerrilla war against the current government of Afghanistan, Pakistan, allied NATO forces participating in Operation Enduring Freedom, and the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).[6] It operates in Afghanistan and the Frontier Tribal Areas of Pakistan." – Wikipedia
The Taliban cells utilize fear as their greatest weapon, causing disorganization and panic in both their enemies and the local civilians. They use rugged yet powerful technology that properly fits the terrain of Afghanistan.
What are the Weapons?
The IRA utilized the LPO-50 flamethrower, the nail bomb, the slingshot, and the AR-15 Armalite.
The Taliban relied on the RPG-7 rocket launcher, PMN land mine, the bayonet knife, and the AK-47.
Both the flamethrower and the rocket launcher performed really well. Apparently the flamethrower heats up the inside of your bones to the point where it continues to burn you even after the flames have gone away. The rocket launcher was clearly devastating, as I think everyone could have predicted.
The interesting matchup was between the AR-15 Armalite and the AK-47. The Armalite was clearly more accurate, but when put through mud and water conditions, the AK-47 held up much better. This was a case of great value between both guns, and intelligent selection by both warriors.
The Armalite's accuracy would be extremely useful in an urban setting where mud, water, and grime is less of a factor. The AK-47's durability is definitely valuable in the caves and desserts of Afghanistan.
A Result and a Vote:
In case you didn't see who won, I'm going to give you a chance to vote first. Who do you think was deadliest? (careful not to scroll down to far)
* * * * * * * * *
In the end, the IRA took the victory. The accuracy of the Armalite and the deadliness of the nail bomb really helped their stats. The results were close though as the AK-47 and the rocket launcher did their fair share of damage.

Spirit Respiration
We often hear about breath control in the martial arts and how important it can be. Proper regulation of exhalation and inhalation can help a practitioner strengthen their technique, defend their body from attack, and center their mind on the objective at hand. Truly breath control is critical to becoming a skilled practitioner.
Less talked about is spirit control. It's unfortunate that in an equal arc of body-mind-spirit, one component can be overlooked so readily.
What is Meant By Spirit Respiration?
Spirit, in the martial context, refers to a strength of character and personal "being". Will, confidence, determination, and fortitude are all pieces of this larger concept. Spirit respiration is the cyclical rising and falling of spirit throughout our day to day lives. For instance:
There are certain times when we need great strength of will to persevere. Examples can be as monumental as childbirth or as menial as a grinding day at work.
Other times we feel as if we are gaining strength and resolve. Some catalysts for this could be a good night's sleep, a promotion, or even an unexpected compliment.
It is this constant flux that creates spirit respiration – in and out, in and out, autonomously without our conscious control.
The Dangers of Bad "Breathing"
Consider breath again for a moment: if you exhale too much, you become weak. The body cannot sustain itself for long after the initial push. If you inhale too much, the body becomes weak. The oxygen begins to deplete and the body needs to expel the toxins brought in with the oxygen. It is only through the repetitious inhale and exhale that breath powers the body.
Much in the same way, the spirit cannot be pushed too far one way or the other.
If you must constantly exert yourself, the power of spirit breaks down with no chance to regain itself. This is often seen when soldiers come back from difficult wartime. They've spent so much energy and concentration on survival and completing their missions that long term (even permanent) damage can be done.
On the contrary, some people who spend their lives getting their ego inflated with compliments, easy success, and luxury soon become poisoned by it. They turn to destructive behavior and habits to try and expend that energy.
Without the flux of good energy coming in and the healthy release of effort and will, people cannot sustain themselves to their maximum capacity.
The Dojo and Spirit Respiration
Regular breathing and spirit "breathing" occur all the time, but it is in the dojo that we can learn to understand and maximize the potential of the two. Some people wonder why 'crazy' martial artists put themselves through rigorous training week after week. And when the martial artist tries to explain it, they are often at a loss. After all, there are thousands of easier and more quickly rewarded hobbies out there.
What many martial artists feel but can't put into words is the satisfaction of effort. In a civilized society, there are few quests to be undertaken. There is no way to travel from town to town, testing your skill and proving your mettle. There is an inherent part of the human condition that wants to test limits, to see how far we can push ourselves. The martial arts are one of the last proving grounds of that human spirit.
Unfortunately, all too often people get caught up in their own enthusiasm and don't realize that they are "exhaling" too much. The martial arts can be a rush and it is easy to overtrain. When this happens, burnout quietly sneaks up and takes ahold of an otherwise great practitioner. Someone who was training 5 nights a week for 2 years will suddenly realize that their will to continue is gone, and they will be gone.
That's why it's critical to find ways to "inhale". Many traditional dojo would have tough workouts, but they would also have times of meditation. They would quietly sit and listen to stories from the Sensei about years past and martial arts theory. They would take serene walks through undisturbed nature.
Unfortunately, with everybody having less and less time to inhale and more time required to exhale, there is an off-balancing occurring. This is true both in day-to-day life as jobs are demanding more hours, and in dojo life as classes are being squeezed in with just enough time to practice techniques and then run off to the next task.
However you decide to do it, find time to inhale. Find what it is that fills you, and use the dojo to its fullest potential.

Burger King Japan is expanding their menu offerings to include the Black Ninja Burger. The black bun, made with bamboo charcoal, is the first things to grab your attention. The burger toppings are unimpressive aside from the huge slab of grilled bacon that flops out from either side of the bun and the fried round of hashbrowns. Do you find this burger appealing? Would you be willing to try it?

2004 Mercury Monterey Q&A
2004 Mercury Monterey Question: Van stalled on low gas
My van stalled and died when coming to a stop like it was running out of gas. I had 18 miles to go before empty. (Yeah, I know it's not good to run low) So I make it to get gas and now my check engine light is still on. Took it to Firestone and they said my gaskets need to be replaced. It's running fine now but my check engine light is stil on. If my gaskets all of a sudden needed to be replaced wouldn't I still have some signs of that? Just trying to figure out if running out of gas got some sludge in the fuel or if it is the gaskets. - melanied213
Answer 1
As your 2004 Mercury Monterey was running out of gas the engine was running very "lean". That can cause the check engine light to come on. A lean condition is often caused by a vacuum leak, thus the recommendation for "gaskets". If your vehicle is now running normally the light may go off by itself in a day or two. The technicians a Firestone can also reset the light with the equipment they have. If the light does not go off by itself or comes back on after it is reset, then diagnoses of the fault codes would be in order. - Jim Taddei

Central and Western Oklahoma American Red Cross organizes Community Resiliency Project
In conjunction with the Resiliency Program, concerned community members in south Oklahoma City meet to develop plans to partner with businesses and churches so that residents might see familiar faces and be more comfortable with the help and changes being proposed, Friesen said.
Holy Angels Catholic Church, which has a congregation of 600 mostly-Hispanic families, recently hosted a Resiliency Program event which included the fire department bringing a truck for the children to enjoy.
The success of the event was enhanced by a bilingual firefighter, said the Rev. Mike Chapman, Holy Angels priest.
"Sometimes when you don't speak the language it can be difficult," Chapman said. "They were well-respected and well-accepted, they did well to make themselves available for questions the families had about fire safety."
The Red Cross has bilingual volunteers who help after house fires and other disasters but is always looking for more support.
"At these events, we are trying to build support from the community to show help is needed," Friesen said. For volunteering opportunities, go online to www.redcross.org/ok/oklahoma-city/volunteer or visit the Red Cross office at 601 NE 6.
"We want the Hispanic community to be included in what we do and vice versa," Friesen said.

Last Christmas Eve I went to sleep, or more accurately tried to go to sleep, with A Very Married Christmas starring Joe Mantegna on a TV that I could hear but not see (long story). Being a Simpsons fan, my brain equates the voice of Joe Mantegna with Fat Tony. I had the hardest time getting to sleep because I kept seeing Fat Tony in various Christmas situations as the movie played out. Not sure I ever go to sleep. And of course, the little ones were up before 5 am. Thanks a lot Joe!

Yes, RichRed, Jefferson Starship did perform, for no good reason. I think some network exec just thought, "Hey we need a rock band, you know, for the kids. This group has a spacey-sounding name, so they'll be perfect."

One sacharine movie (in the most positive sense) that was always on at Christmas as "A Very Brady Christmas" but my favourite has to Miracle on 34th Street - The one with Ed Gwynn and Maureen O'Hara.
A movie I liked & only saw once was A Christmas To Remember with Jason Robards. Good moive, from what I remember. I also liked One Magic Christmas with Mary Steenburgen and Harry Dean Stanton.
I didn't know Amazon did that either; but I'd rather be able to purchase a copy of it. I bet my older sister would love a copy for Christmas.

Growing up in our household, my Dad, during the Holiday season, always filled the home with Christmas music.... Bing Crosby, Burl Ives, Percy Faith, Andy Williams. I still love to listen to it.
But one of my all-time favorites is Sleigh Ride by Andre Kostelanetz & His Orchestra.
I still have a copy of this.....

Recently I noticed that it had stopped syncing. I tried forcing it a few times (ie. clicking on send/receive) but it instantly came back with 'Sync failed'. My first go at fixing it (after trying a soft reset) was to switch account, assuming that I could effectively just reload all my messages without reinstalling. However, once it had wiped all my current messages, it wouldn't let me sign in again. I entered my password, clicked next and nothing happened.
Right, I thought, a reinstall is needed. So I dug out the installation exe and ran it. However, I kept getting a message saying something like 'Installation of windowslive.cab was unsuccessful' with no further details.
I didn't want to hard reset but it looked like it was my only option. So having done a full hard reset, I tried installing and got the same problem - 'Installation unsuccessful'.
This is so frustrating. It was working perfectly before and now I can't even install the damn app. I was starting to wonder if Orange had somehow updated my phone without me knowing to block Windows Live, but as so many other people don't have a problem it can't be that.
I saw the thing about the 30 day trial and wondered if it was connected, but again I thought I can't be the only one.
Help please! I want my hotmail back!

Hershey's Simple Pleasures
Hershey's is introducing its first new candy line since, well, the last time they did it. (The last one was 2007.) The new Hershey's Simple Pleasures line launched with three different products, all little foil wrapped chocolate patties that boast 30% less fat than most other chocolate things. Or something like that.
It's odd to be reviewing another little chocolate covered patty after just reviewing some yesterday. Yesterday was something utterly simple, with only three ingredients (though peppermint). The Hershey's Simple Pleasures Milk Chocolate with Vanilla Creme has oodles of ingredients:
Simple Pleasures, Complex Ingredients*: Milk chocolate (sugar, nonfat milk, cocoa butter, chocolate, lactose, milk fat, soy lecithin, PGPR, vanillin), corn syrup, sugar, glycerin, vegetable oil (cocoa butter, palm, shea, sunflower and/or safflower oil), sorbitol, nonfat milk, contains 2% or less of: natural and artificial flavor, milk fat, modified cornstarch, soy lecithin, glyceryl monostearate, caramel color, tocopherols, PGPR
* Actually, I added the Complex Ingredients part, so to be clear, their package copy actually states:
Go ahead, look back up at that list of ingredients and see if you can find brown sugar. Nope, I couldn't either. Also, I'm not certain why they called them dry-roasted cocoa beans. I don't know of another process. I don't think anyone deep fries them, microwaves or steams them in a pressure cooker. So why mention that? To confuse people.
The patties are only 1 inch across and nicely made, a dome shape with a swirl on top. They were glossy and well tempered to give a snap when bitten or broken in half. (That's actually not easy to do, because the filling comes out.)
The filling is less of a thick fondant like Junior Mints, it's quite a bit more runny than that. It does smell quite a bit like vanilla, almost like pudding, which I found appealing. But the appearance of the filling is a little less appealing, since it's just a sugar goo, like a lemon pound cake glaze that hasn't set up yet.
The chocolate is more like the Bliss line, not the standard flavor profile of Hershey's Milk Chocolate. It's sweet, a little grainy but consistent and with a mild cocoa note to it. The vanilla flavoring of the center pretty much screams the loudest though it's closely rivaled by the severe sweetness of all the sugar components.
The lower fat is achieved in this product by creating a filling that's pure sugar and water. There are also a few sugar alcohols in there, sorbitol is used, though in very low amounts (3 grams per serving of 6 pieces). So while the UNREAL candy line I reviewed last week gets its lower calorie profile by adding in fiber and other nutrients (also ending up with an incredibly long list of ingredients), Hershey's gets there with oodles of carbs.
The Hershey's Simple Pleasures Smooth & Creamy Dark Chocolate with Chocolate Creme is kind of the richer version of the Milk Chocolate & Vanilla Creme version. They both have the same calorie profile, though the Dark variety has twice the fiber (a whole 2 grams).
In this case the package description on the back is slightly more accurate, this variety does have brown sugar in the ingredients list. But the qualification of the 30% less fat is qualified that it's based on the average of milk chocolates on the market. I don't know what the average fat content of dark chocolates is (I don't even know where to find the source material for those statements - it's not on their website).
The pieces are, again, well made and packaged. The red foil creates an appetizing wrapper and the chocolate does look really good, well molded and glossy. Each piece is only 30 calories, and a recommended serving is 6 pieces, which is quite generous. (The whole package holds 22-24 pieces, or if you lose it and eat the whole thing, it's about 675 calories.)
This smells a bit fudgy, a bit like brownies. Sweet and dark. The chocolate center here is a bit thicker than the Vanilla Creme. It's like a frosting, thick and sweet and not quite grainy. The cocoa flavors are actually much better than any commercial frosting in a can. The dark chocolate shell is much sweeter than the center and actually started giving me a sore throat after the second one.
The portion control is pretty good on these. Three could be a nice treat and come in under 100 calories and look like a sufficient indulgence. But the bang for the buck and actual satisfaction I got was sub par. The reliance on sugar instead of flavor meant that mostly I was left with the feeling that I'd eaten a bunch of sugar, not some chocolate.
The Hershey's Simple Pleasures line also includes Smooth & Creamy Milk Chocolate with Chocolate Creme but I didn't find those at the Target I got these at.
The fact that Hershey's has such huge brand recognition and is on so many shelves means that these may succeed in spite of their drawbacks. I don't care to spend that much money on so little chocolate, I'd rather have a handful of at least all-chocolate chips in a smaller portion. That's a simple pleasure. This is just too complex for me.
Simple Pleasures are made with dairy and soy. There's no mention of shared equipment with nuts, peanuts, eggs or wheat/gluten. They're made in Mexico.

UNREAL #5 Chocolate Caramel Nougat Bar
How lovely would it be to have a candy bar that starts with a fluffy plank of nougat and is then topped with some buttery caramel all wrapped up in rich milk chocolate.
The description matches the Mars Milky Way bar pretty well. It's been around since 1923 and pretty much established the Mars candy company. Companies come and go over the years trying to make that simple formula better, and right now the prime contender in the field is the new line called UNREAL which features all natural ingredients and even some nutrient fortification.
The UNREAL #5 Chocolate Caramel Nougat Bar is 22% smaller than the Milky Way bar, so that right there makes it a more responsible portion. (Milky Way is 57 grams, UNREAL #5 is 45 grams.)
What's so bad about a Milky Way? Well, just look:
According to UNREAL, the junk ingredients are partially hydrogenated soybean oil, GMO corn syrup and artificial flavor (I'm guessing vanillin. )
The UNREAL #5 bar is pretty impressive to look at. The insides contain just as many ingredients, though I wouldn't say that all are specifically better.
The bar is 3.5 inches long and a little over an inch wide.
It smells good, quite a bit richer and darker than a standard Milky Way. The cocoa notes are far more pronounced. The caramel has a wonderful, stringy and chewy pull without being too stiff to chew easily. The caramel isn't really a buttery caramel, as far as I can tell from the ingredients it's just sugar with more palm oil than real cream like they promise. The chocolate is much darker than the standard milk chocolate of Mars, it's rich and has a smooth melt on the tongue, though a light bitter note.
Oh, but that nougat. I'm not fond of the nougat in the Milky Way or 3 Musketeers. But this nougat, this is something else. It's like a fluffy Tiger Milk bar. There's a lot more protein in this bar than the Milky Way, and it's easy to assume that it's in the nougat as "milk protein concentrate". It's grainy, it tastes like cardboard and stale Nestle Quik powder. It really ruins it for me.
I was concerned that I got a bad bar, so I actually went out, to a different store across town, and bought another. It was the same texture and flavor profile. (The did share the same expiry date of 5/4/2013.)
I think the rest of the line is doing great things, but this one is a huge miss for me. Fortification is one thing, but it shouldn't come at the expense of the primary reason I'm eating it: for enjoyment. (And the burps later on remind me of B vitamins.) For a bar that wants to be transparent, I'm having some trouble getting info directly out of the company. I've tried emailing them and messaging on Twitter. They haven't replied to either. They say that they're sourcing things ethically and sustainably, but there's nothing to back that up. (Where does the chocolate come from, what kind of Palm Fruit Oil is that? Is that really non GMO soy lecithin? Why doesn't it say those things on the package?)
The bars are made in Canada. They contain milk, soy, eggs and wheat. They're made in a facility with peanuts, wheat and tree nuts.
UPDATE 8/1/2012: I have sent multiple messages to UNREAL on several different addresses. The first was to the address they published on their website on June 20, 2012. In the interim I've sent twitter messages. Then on July 20, 2012 I sent another message to a named contact at UNREAL at an email address given to me by a reader who met her at a twitter event. I have still not heard back (and sent another message today). So my confidence in the company's transparency is quite low at the moment. Eat it for the taste and what you know is in the package, but I can't buy into the ethics at the moment for the claims on the website.
UPDATE 9/17/2012: After many months and more than a half a dozen attempts to get answers from UNREAL, I did get a reply. Here is what I can tell you:

RJ's Licorice Allsorts
There are lots of different kinds of black licorice with different flavor profiles and styles. There's American twist licorice, Dutch salty licorice and Australian soft chew licorice. New Zealand even has its own brand, RJ's Licorice.
I picked up this sample package at the Fancy Food Show earlier this year. It's RJ's Licorice Allsorts and they're made with all natural ingredients, with no artificial colors. I thought this was a great idea, because I'm often turned off by weird flavors and aftertastes from artificial colors.
The other New Zealand twist on this is the flavor set for these candies, they come in four colors and flavors: Passion Fruit, Black Cherry, Lime and Orange.
They smell really good. They're soft and have a strong anise and molasses note. The stack for the little sandwiches starts with a white layer or fondant, which seems to be unflavored or at least lightly flavored. Then there's a thin square of black licorice. On top of that is the special flavored fondant. This fondant is just a soft sugar mixture, there's no coconut in there like some Allsorts feature.
The orange pieces are Orange flavored. The white fondant is like a frosting, sugary and sweet and with only a light and soft touch of orange essence. There's no tartness and little balance. The licorice layer is soft and pliable, chewy and has a nice profile. It's a mix of woodsy molasses, toffee and other burnt flavors. It's only the faintest bit bitter and quite sweet in that light way that licorice is. The white layer is unflavored, as far as I can tell.
The green looks rather like a highlighter and is Lime. This one was not entirely pleasant. I didn't care for the lime layer, it was sweet and weirdly artificial even though it does use natural flavorings.
The faint pink is Black Cherry and has a great profile. The flavor is floral and a bit more punchy than the previous citrus ones. It dissipates quickly but still goes well with the licorice layer. It tasted far sweeter though on the whole than the other flavors.
The yellow sandwich was Passion Fruit which was the odd one in the batch. It was musky and had strong honey and floral notes. It goes pretty well with the licorice, which I never would have guessed. But still, it was a lot of different sweet notes, too much for me.
If you're the type who likes very sweet and sugary candy, the type of person who eats straight sugar cube, this is a good choice. It wasn't licorice-y enough for me and without enough of a fruity note from the fondant. I'll stick to plain licorice from RJ's for now.

M&Ms Sweet & Salty Snack Mix
Late last year Mars introduced a new line of snack mixes incorporating M&Ms with nuts, dried fruits, cookies and pretzels. There are currently three varieties available, I picked up one of each.
All share the use of M&Ms chocolate candies and pretzels, but then have slightly different elements from there. The basic mix, based on the Milk Chocolate M&Ms is Milk Chocolate M&Ms Snack Mix Salty & Sweet.
The bags are eight ounces and I got mine on sale for $3 each at Walgreen's, but I have to believe that they're going to be priced less than that on a regular basis for them to catch on.
First I have to say that the packaging is well done. The stand up bag does stand up and the zip lock closes easily and securely enough to both keep contents from spilling and protect from moisture. The bag also will sit "open" well enough to serve from.
The items within the Milk Chocolate mix are: Roasted Peanuts and Crunchy Pretzels from the salty side and mini Chocolate Chip Cookies and Milk Chocolate M&Ms from the sweet side.
In the case of my bag, things appeared to be packaged in tiers, so all my peanuts were at the bottom and all my pretzels were at the top. So when I first dumped it out for photographing, I missed the peanuts entirely. (See below.)
The pretzels are barely an inch across and just lightly salted, which I thought was perfect. They're not so big that they took up a whole bite, allowing me to combine elements for a customized flavor/texture profile.
The little chocolate chip cookies are like Chips Ahoy!. A bland vanilla cookie with teensy little chocolate chips. They're about .8 inches around and reminded me of Cookie Crisp Cereal in shape, but actual chocolate chip cookies in flavor. They're a little salty, very sweet and nicely crunchy.
The M&Ms are, well, Milk Chocolate M&Ms. They're a bit dusty with crumbs or salt, but otherwise fresh and crunchy, the sweetest thing in the bag.
The peanuts, well, this is where things took a bad turn. I didn't like the peanuts at all. I thought they were roasted too dark, they were bitter and sometimes chalky. Since everything else in the bag was perfectly fresh, it made very little sense to me why they were consistently so unappealing. (One or two bad peanuts are understandable, but they were all the same color, uniformly small in size and rather lifeless.) I have to wonder if they were a bit on the over-roasted side as a way to stabilize them, especially the fats in peanuts that can make everything greasy.
As long as I ate the peanuts in the same bite as something else, I didn't mind the. But on the whole, I prefer a snack mix with a strong protein component (usually from nuts).
Peanut M&Ms Snack Mix Salty & Sweet is in a bright yellow bag featuring the yellow Peanut M&M as its mascot.
This bag features a mix of salted roasted almonds and pretzels along with mini shortbread cookies and Peanut M&Ms.
The little shortbread cookies are similar to the chocolate chip ones in size, but actually more successful in this application. The flavor is quite good, I got a great sense of the toasted shortbread cookie with its vanilla flavor. But what was really interesting was that the salt from the almonds had rubbed off on the, so there was an excellent contrast going on. They're dense and crunchy and not too sweet.
The pretzels were again nicely layered in, a good crunch with a mild flavor.
The almonds were tiny, but roasted perfectly thought slightly over-salted for my tastes. (The overall sodium level for the snack mix is 125mg for a 1/3 of a cup portion which is about 190 calories.
The Peanut M&Ms were, well, exactly like Peanut M&Ms. They were big and had a lot of crackle going on and added a buttery element to the whole mix.
All of the items went with each other. An almond with a Peanut M&M was great. A cookie with a pretzel was also really satisfying. I was surprised at how much I liked this mix, though it does combine some of my favorite items. It was the cookies I was hesitant about, but they really did add to the satisfaction level.
Dark Chocolate M&Ms Snack Mix Salty & Sweet is the only mix in the set that doesn't have little cookies.
The mix contains salted, roasted almonds and pretzels along with raisins and Dark Chocolate M&Ms.
This is the "healthiest" of the mixes, if you go by calorie load. There are 132 calories per ounce, slightly less than the milk chocolate mix with a half a gram less saturated fat but still 16 grams of sugars. But it does have a bit of iron at 6% of your daily recommended allowance and two grams of fiber.
Of course all of that relies on eating the exact proportions of each element in the mix. If you pick out the M&Ms and almonds, well, all bets are off.
The mix is attractive and has a good salty note to it from the pretzels and the almonds. The raisins were pretty big, soft and juicy without being sticky. The Dark Chocolate M&Ms pair well with any of the elements. Part of me would like to see a more interesting dried fruit in the mix, like dried cherries or cranberries (which do suffer from being sweetened) but this version does fit the bill by adding in a little tangy chew.
These are not candy. There's very little candy in there, by most accounts, about 25% of it is actually M&Ms, the rest of snack foods. Mars has made a nice mix and chosen each element pretty well and balanced them expertly.
It's a good mix for a lot of different purposes. Easy to share you can take it on an airplane, a car trip or a movie theater (of course you'd pay concession prices ... probably about $8 a bag). I prefer to make my own mixes, but if I have to grab something already made a store, this is a fair value.

Route 1 Racer Bar
One of the most popular candy bars in the country is the Snickers bar. This is not review of that.
Instead I'm testing a knock off version, presented by Aldi, the German grocery chain under their house brand Route 1.
The Route 1 Racer Bar comes in a well priced bag of nearly 10 ounces (9.8) fun sized bars for only $1.79.
The little bars smell good, like milky chocolate and roasted peanuts. They're small bars, smaller than the Romeo and clock in at about .70 ounces and about 110 calories. The size is still a nice portion, and two make a good treat.
The construction of the bar is just as you'd anticipate for a Snickers knock off. There's a nougat base, which has a light peanut butter flavor to it then a caramel over that studded with peanuts. The whole thing is covered with a very thin coating of chocolate.
The textures were great, though the ratio of chocolate was a bit lacking. I didn't miss it though, because it really wasn't that good. It was more a toffee milk flavor than chocolate. The flavors though, well, sometimes they were what I'd call good. But there were bad peanuts. The photo of the first bar with a bite up there, that was a bad peanut, like spit it out bad. And I accept that when using a natural ingredient that there will be bad peanuts, but then I got another. I've eaten seven of these little bars and two had bad peanuts. The flavor of the peanuts is a little more grassy than I'm accustomed to, which leads me to believe they may not be American peanuts.
This is the first product I've bought at Aldi that I've been truly disappointed about. I doubt I'll finish the bag, and I doubt that folks who come grazing for candy in my office will be interested in them. I'll stick to Snickers, even if it is twice the price.

Jelly Belly Snapple Jelly Beans
Jelly Belly is expanding their line of all natural jelly beans with a new line called Jelly Belly Snapple Mix.
The candies come in a variety of packages from bulk mixes, peg bags to individual flavors. For the samples I got from Jelly Belly, they came in these cute little plastic bottles in the same shape as the Snapple glass bottles. They're each filled with 1.65 ounces of one of the individual flavors.But you're more likely to see packages with a mix of all five. Though I like just buying the flavors I like, in this instance the packages are unsustainable and wasteful.
As an American who remembers when Snapple was introduced nationally and their commercials with Wendy, the Snapple Lady I can say that I've always felt positive towards the brand. However, in all that time, I've probably had five or six of them. Even in my younger years when I did drink juice (rarely soda, even then), Snapple was always a little too bland for me. (I also don't know how a company can say it's made from the best stuff on earth if they're using aspartame.)
The bottles have a little twist off top with a ring that kept me from losing them (though I think if you pry them off, they're like the rings from one of those spout milk jugs that cats love to play with until they end up under the fridge).
Cranberry Raspberry are red with a light purple hue. They're sweet and have a good floral berry flavor to them. There's only a slight hint of tartness, which is too bad, because I love the zing of cranberries.
Pink Lemonade is kind of a weird product to start with. The beans here are quite pink and without much reason other than the fact that the color is in the name of the flavor. When I was a kid I thought that pink lemonade was pink because it had a touch of strawberry in it. But a little digging and I found out rather unsettling reasons for why early pink lemonade was pink. Anyway, Snapple's classic Pink Lemonade is simply that, lemonade that's been colored pink. This lemonade jelly bean is bland. There's no tang, no real zest, just a mild lemon flavor.
Kiwi Strawberry is salmon-pink. The flavor is quite nicely rounded. The strawberry is center stage, sweet and floral with those toasted sugar notes of cotton candy. There's a hint of sour and a pleasant and refreshing melon-kiwi note to it.
Mango Madness is orange colored. The flavor is a mild mango or perhaps peach flavor. It lacks the intense pine and tartness that real mangoes have. Instead it's rather one-note with just the sweet, Indian mango flavor.
Fruit Punch is a luxurious looking dark red color, a color I might mistake for root beer. I wasn't looking forward to it, as fruit punch has never been a favorite flavor of mine. The notes are distinctive and have that authentic fruit punch flavor (is that guava and pineapple?) but still tastes natural. There are lots of red berry and cherry notes and a little twang of pineapple and either guava or papaya (maybe both). It was all sweetness with only a fleeting burst of tartness as part of the candy shell.
Overall, the flavors were mild. If you're the type of person who tried Jelly Belly and thought, "My goodness, these would be good if they were less flavorful." Then perhaps these were the Jelly Belly you were waiting for. I think they give naturally flavored & colored candy a bad reputation. I already know Jelly Belly can make good tasting beans without artificial flavors and colors, so I can only surmise that this is what Snapple customers want.
If I were a huge fan of these, I could see myself re-using the little bottles by buying bags of the mixes and refilling for easy portioning. This mix isn't really to my taste, so I don't see myself buying it again. I can see it getting a lot of play in places where you don't normally see Jelly Belly just because of the brand and flavor recognition of Snapple. Jelly Belly does most of these flavors better in their Superfruit Mix or their Citrus Mix.

Hilco Mallow Pals Strawberry Squeezable Marshmallow
I picked up one of the odder Easter offerings over the weekend at KMart: Mallow Pals Strawberry Squeezable Marshmallow from a company called Hilco. I've seen these before, I think they showed up a year or two ago, squeezed confections have been around for a few years now. (Though I also remember a bubble gum that came in a tube back in the early 1980s as well.)
The tube is themed for Easter, in a bright pink and completely shaped like a perched bunny rabbit.
The package is some sort of mylar, it's flexible and has a foil-like quality to it. It doesn't hold much, there's 1.2 ounces and I paid a dollar for it on sale. But marshmallows are mostly air anyway.
The package has a little flat plastic bottom that allows it to stand up (it stands best if it leans against something though). There's a plastic flip top.
The ingredients are interesting and reveal that this isn't what I consider a true marshmallow.
Modern marshmallows are made with gelatin. The protein in gelatin will stabilize whipped sugar syrup to hold the airy foam. Egg whites also perform the same in fresh goods, but don't usually do as well when exposed to air. But still, they're found quite often in treats, such as the Schokokuss or Mohrenkopf that's found in the German speaking parts of Europe. The upshot of all of this is that this product is good for vegetarians who have to avoid traditional marshmallow products. (It's not Kosher though. There are no statements about allergens on the package. It's made in China.)
The goo has that soft and sweet smell of cotton candy. It squeezes out pretty easily. It's soft and gooey and slumps over instead of forming bouncy peaks like marshmallow does. It's pretty sticky as well. The texture is smooth, though there are a few sugary grains in there from time to time.
The strawberry flavor is mild and floral with no tartness and a weird bitter aftertaste that I can only assume is contributed by the artificial coloring. It dissolves quickly.
It's weird stuff. It's hard to imagine eating it right out of the pouch, but if I were a kid, I probably would. It's sticky and can easily get messy. The pouch is easy to grasp, so it's easy to dispense, though not necessarily easy to control like a pastry bag. It's very low in calories though and one tube, though it's supposed to be a serving, could probably be stretched to two if you were looking to limit calories.
It seems like it would be more fun to use as a frothy frosting item to ice cream, cookies, crackers, fruit or maybe even on top of hot chocolate. Sucking it right out of the tube seems a little wrong.
It comes in a couple of other flavors, I saw Green Apple on the shelves and I've also seen it listed online in Blue Raspberry.

Werther's Original Caramel Chocolates
Werther's Original is known best for its smooth hard caramel candies but they've recently ventured into the world of chocolate. Werther's is made by Storck, a Germany candy brand that also makes Toffifay, Merci Chocolate, Mamba chews and Riesen caramels. It always seemed odd to me that their chocolate brand was under the Werther's label instead of the Merci one, but perhaps they went with the one with the best brand recognition.
Werther's Original Caramel Milk Chocolates feature the familiar amber yellow and brown branding of the Werther's caramels. The bars come in a familiar style of upright, flat bar package. They're 3.5 ounces and I found them at the 99 Cent Only store for a buck a piece. What was even better though was the the package once I opened it up. There were four little individually wrapped bars inside the easily re-closeable sleeve.
The little bars are about 25 grams each (.88 ounces) and the nutrition facts suggest that two are a serving, but I found one sufficient.
There were three varieties on sale at the store, so I bought all of them. Though the smart little bars are color coded, they're not actually marked with the name of the variety on them. I found the purple and magenta confusing when not placed side by side.
I tried Werther's Original CaraMelts before a few years ago, which is some sort of caramel flavored white confection and found it was not suited to my tastes, a little too fatty without much flavor. I was hoping this would have a little more depth.
The little bar is a ripple of that cream confection and a milk chocolate.
The melt is quite nice, extremely smooth and though sweet, it's not sticky or too thick. The milk and dairy notes are clean, like fresh butter not powdered milk. The cocoa notes are rather faint overall, kind of a malty and toffee note to it, but not much more than that.
The Werther's Original Dark Cream Caramel Chocolates in bar form are similar to another version that were introduced a couple of years ago called Werther's Original Dark Cream Chocolates which were sold in bags and individually wrapped and shaped like the Werther's Original hard caramels.
The difference between the two products, as far as I can tell, is shape and price.
When they named it Dark Cream, they really meant the cream part. The fat content on this particular bar is through the roof, at 164 calories per ounce with 79 of those fat calories. The second ingredient on the list after milk chocolate (I know, what makes it dark chocolate cream if it's made with milk chocolate?) is cream powder then whole milk powder. You'd better like dairy.
The Dark Dream looked odd, the color was not quite appetizing. I can only describe it as a faded or dead looking brown, instead of a lively and rich red-brown like many chocolate bars are.
Even though I complained that there was a lot of milk chocolate in this bar, and a lot of milk, it still had a deeper cocoa flavor to it and was certainly less sweet than the Milk Cream version. The melt is very smooth and has a good flavor balance between the actual cream flavors and the toasty, woodsy cocoa notes.
Werther's Original Toffee Crisp Caramel Chocolates is the final bar and perhaps the most ordinary and probably the most successful because it plays on Werther's strength.
The back of the package says Enjoy four individually wrapped bars of European Milk chocolate with pieces of crispy Werther's Original Toffee.
The ingredients are much simpler as well, just real milk chocolate with lots of extra dairy fats and some toffee chips made with real butter.
The bar has the same faintly off color for the milk chocolate. I can only assume that the reason for that is because it's diluted by all that extra milk and dairy in it.
The toffee chips are well distributed and at a good ratio to provide a lot of texture and flavor. The milk chocolate is smooth and buttery though again, not very chocolatey. The toffee chips have a good balance of crisp texture, easy crunch, salt and burnt sugar notes.
Overall the price was good for this set of bars, and I enjoyed the portion control that's usually lacking in these large tablet bars. But the chocolate is weird, it's too much dairy fat and not enough cocoa butter. I can see the appeal for some folks, especially those who like the mouthfeel of super-slick chocolate like Dove. But I want more chocolate punch in my chocolate.
The allergen list on these was long, pretty much the only thing it doesn't contain and isn't co-processed with is shellfish.

NEW YORK — Mikhail Baryshnikov's earliest experience in the theater began when he was a child of just 4 or 5 in present-day Latvia, then a part of the Soviet Union. His mother, a Russian speaker unfamiliar with the local tongue, would drag along her young son to play interpreter.
Now, after a career in dance, film and television, he's performing the title role in "Man in a Case," a multimedia adaptation of two short stories by Anton Chekhov running April 24 through May 10 at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica.
It's merely the latest dramatic adventure for the dancer, who began to dabble in a side career as an actor shortly after defecting to the West and shooting to international celebrity in the mid-1970s. He earned an Oscar nomination for his role in 1977's "The Turning Point" and later starred with Gregory Hines in "White Nights" and Gene Hackman in "Company Business." Most memorable, at least to younger viewers, was his role as Aleksandr Petrovsky, Carrie Bradshaw's maddeningly self-absorbed artist boyfriend, in the final season of "Sex and the City."

Though the Hollywood TV and film roles continue — Baryshnikov recently popped up in a cameo in Kenneth Branagh's "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" — the dancer, who moved from roles in classical ballets "The Nutcracker" and "Giselle" to co-founding the modern White Oak Dance Project, has gravitated toward experimental theater since making his stage debut in Steven Berkoff's "Metamorphosis," adapted from the Kafka novella, in 1989.
"Maybe it was premature a bit, the reviews were very mixed, but I got the bug," says Baryshnikov, known affectionately as "Misha" to friends and family, at the Baryshnikov Arts Center, a multidisciplinary performance space in Manhattan he opened in 2005.
In more recent years, he's appeared in "Beckett Shorts," a compilation of four short Samuel Beckett plays directed by JoAnne Akalaitis, and "In Paris," based on a short story by writer Ivan Bunin, also seen at the Broad. While not all the productions have been critical favorites, Baryshnikov's performances have generally earned high marks. Later this year, he'll perform opposite Willem Dafoe in another literary adaptation, "The Old Woman," at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Adapted from the writings of Russian absurdist Daniil Kharms, the piece is directed by experimental pioneer Robert Wilson and originated last year at the Manchester International Festival.

"I'm just fascinated by the theater, especially avant-garde theater," Baryshnikov says. "You have to connect certain dots which are not on the surface necessarily connected. I just love the opportunity to go onstage and make a fool of myself willingly."
"Man in a Case" premiered last year at Hartford Stage in Connecticut and has since played in Berkeley and Washington, D.C, receiving favorable to glowing reviews ("Mesmerizing," according to the San Francisco Chronicle).
Baryshnikov, 66, likens his foray into theater to former President George W. Bush's newfound passion for painting, but as far as late-in-life pastimes go, Baryshnikov could certainly have chosen something less demanding than "Man in a Case."
He's onstage for nearly every minute of the play, which is based on two Chekhov tales of love thwarted by societal pressure. In the title story, Baryshnikov plays against type as Belikov, an officious small-town Greek teacher whose solitary, rigidly structured existence is thrown into disarray when he falls for a vivacious Ukrainian woman named Barbara (Tymberly Canale). In the shorter, second piece, based on "About Love," he is a highly educated but indebted farmer madly in love with a friend's wife, again played by Canale.

"As different as they are, there's something fundamentally shared by those two characters. To me they stand in precise contradiction to Chekhov's primary dictum, which is 'live now,'" says Paul Lazar, who adapted and directs, with Annie-B Parson, under the auspices of their company, Big Dance Theater.
"Man in a Case" began its journey to the stage when Baryshnikov, commissioned by Hartford Stage, approached Parson and Lazar about collaborating on a solo dance piece. The conversation quickly moved to Chekhov.
Baryshnikov had recently read "The Man in a Case," one in a trilogy of interconnected stories published in 1898, and was struck by its immediacy.
"The subjects, the characters are familiar pretty much to everyone," he says. "The insecurities and longings and all those things are utterly modern, like it was written today. That's why this author is quite amazing."
Lazar and Parson, who are married, immediately sparked to the material.
CRITICS' PICKS: What to watch, where to go, what to eat
"The allure of the piece for me was imagining Misha in the center of it," says Lazar, noting how Belikov, a man who refuses to dance, is the opposite of Baryshnikov, and yet he's someone who is defined by his physicality. They quickly decided to pair it with another story from the trilogy, "About Love," and to borrow Chekhov's framing device, hunters sharing stories around a dinner table. (The roles are performed by actors from the company.)

DALLAS (AP) — Darren Collison now runs the floor where J.J. Barea was the spark that helped rally the Dallas Mavericks to their first championship two seasons ago.
Collison leads balanced Mavs over Wolves 113-98
Dallas' new point guard made sure one of his predecessors didn't finish off another comeback Monday night.
Collison led six players in double figures with 23 points and the Mavericks matched their season high with a third straight win, holding off a pair of Barea-engineered surges in a 113-98 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
"I felt like we were going to attack," said Collison, who also had nine assists and three steals.
That used to be Barea's job coming off the bench in Dallas, until he became a starter midway through the 2011 NBA finals on Dallas' home court and helped erase a 2-1 series deficit against Miami.
He was finally back on that floor after sitting out Minnesota's first two trips with injuries since signing as a free agent when Mavericks owner Mark Cuban decided not to bring back several key pieces of the title team.
The diminutive guard is a reserve again, and he had former teammate Dirk Nowitzki and others chasing him all over the court while running the pick-and-roll and scoring 11 second-quarter points. He led the Timberwolves with 21 and was on the floor for a second-half rally that cut a 23-point deficit to eight.
"I have a lot of good history here," said Barea, who made 4 of 7 from 3-point range and added five assists. "I hit a couple of shots early so I just kept being aggressive the whole game. I always try to bring a lot of energy off the bench and help my team as much as I can."
The Timberwolves, who finished a 0-4 road trip that coach Rick Adelman missed for personal reasons, got 20 points and a game-high 12 rebounds from Nikola Pekovic.
"It was a tough trip," Barea said. "I tell them to remember how this feels. We have to get better at home."
O.J. Mayo and Elton Brand had 20 points each for Dallas. It was a season high for Brand. Mayo matched Collison's nine assists, and the Maverick had a season-high 33 as a team. Nowitzki, Chris Kaman and Vince Carter had 10 points apiece.
Minnesota trailed by nine in the third quarter when Dallas guard Jae Crowder beat the shot clock with a 3-pointer moments before Ricky Rubio was called for a technical foul from the bench. Less than a minute later, Alexey Shved was called for kicking out his leg when he made a 3-pointer, negating the shot. Shawn Marion scored on other end, and Mayo followed with a 3-pointer to put the Mavericks ahead 83-67 late in the third quarter.
