"I ask the three of you, how can we, as symbolically the children of the future president, expect the three of you to meet our needs, the needs in housing and in crime and you name it." -- A question from Denton Walthall AKA "The ponytail guy" at a 1992 presidential debate
In America, we come from pioneer stock. Our ancestors explored, conquered, and civilized a continent one wagon train and settlement at a time. They crossed hundreds of miles of hostile territory, risked starvation, murder by Indians, and dying alone in the wilderness to try to carve out a decent living for their families.
That same ferociously independent spirit was what inspired our ancestors to throw off Britian's shackles and forge America into the greatest economic and military power the world has ever seen.
These accomplishments were because of the decency, work ethic, and self-reliance of the American people, not because of the greatness of our leadership in Washington, D.C. The Founding Fathers understood that, which was why they considered government to be a necessary evil that was to be hemmed in, contained, and bound at every opportunity.
The idea that the American people are "symbolically the children of the future president" would have not only appalled the Founding Fathers, it would have insulted them.
It should insult us, too. We now live in a country where the government educates us, gives us food stamps and school lunch programs when we're hungry, gives us money when we lose our jobs, frets constantly about differences in free market salaries, orders home loans to be given to people who can't afford them, bails out failing companies, and provides for our retirement.
Are those all bad things? No. Should we immediately roll all those policies back? No. But, what we should do is recognize that it is extremely unhealthy for the country to have the government doing so many things that people used to do for themselves -- for the same reason it's unhealthy to have thirty-year old men still living with their parents.
With adults, we recognize that it's a good idea for people to cut the apron strings, leave the nest, and live their own lives, but no American can get away from the all-smothering love of "mother government."
She's going to hover over you, dictating everything from where you go to school, to how much of your own money she's going to let you keep, to your retirement planning. If you have the temerity to complain about any of this and ask to be left alone, you're told "Mama knows best" and accused of being selfish, foolish, or unrealistic to think you could do a better job of planning your own life than "Mama."

Emma Cruces, Education reporter / / Hyndburn
A YOUTH club is looking for a new home after being told it could no longer use a community base.
Anje Seed started the HukDup project in Rishton backed by a team of arts and youth community volunteers.
But the youth club, which has been at full capacity since September, is now without a home.
The 31-year-old said they were turned out of the Royal British Legion Working Men's Club after she had complained about the condition of the roof and withheld a week's rent.
But the owner of the Walmsley Street Centre, Ashley Cook said HukDup were six weeks behind with the rent and had caused damage. Mr Cook also claimed he had had complaints about the youngsters from neighbours.
Anje said: "The whole community of Rishton really welcomed us. We had over 60 children here and they were coming every night because there isn't anything else for them.
"It's just so important that we do this for those young people. We had problems and I wasn't paying the rent until they were sorted out."
The centre runs DJ classes, arts and performances, media footage training and events which had to be cancelled.
Landlord Ashley Cook said: "I heavily subsidise the rent of this facility because I love Rishton. Anyone doing some good in the area can have the room at a low rate. However there were a number of bills which went unpaid."
Local councillor Ken Moss said: "When the group was first set up there were some concerns from residents but it quickly proved to be an amazing facility for young people.
"It still has the potential to be a really positive thing and I hope Anje and her team stay in Rishton."
Anje said: "The upside to no longer having a base is we could now extend the project. Instead of being based in one town we could do a night in different areas of Hyndburn and Blackburn, seven nights a week." To contact Anje visit www. facebook.com/Hukdup.

- "When it comes to luxury private jets, this is the cream of the crop. With a Luxor you're joining an elite club of all the best kind of people: super-rich celebrities, businessmen and African dictators."
- ―ElitasTravel.com description
The Buckingham Luxor is a fixed-wing private jet in Grand Theft Auto V.
The Luxor is essentially the private/business jet version of civilian/commercial Shamal.
The Luxor is essentially the private/business jet version of civilian/commercial Shamal. It seems to combine features of the Cessna Citation 560/650, Sovereign, and the Learjet 45. It has a mahogany interior and seats for 10 people.
The Luxor is a good way for a leisurely flight but not so in a competitive way. The Luxor is on par with the Shamal as the fifth fastest aircraft, outperformed by the Hydra, P-996 Lazer, Besra, and Vestra. However, the Luxor has the least mobility and the greatest vehicle mass in a GTA Online Air Race; It won't take corners as sharply as the Duster but it can keep up a good lead in the straight.
A "Deluxe" version which features a gold paintjob is featured in the new Ill-Gotten Gains Part 1 update. It distinguishes from the standard variant by having additional features on the interior and able to drink champagne, smoke cigars and browse the internet via this vehicle.
Grand Theft Auto V
- Can be purchased on ElitasTravel.com for $1,500,000.
- Can be found in the Los Santos International Airport :
- One will spawn parked next to a Shamal in the southeast corner, not far from the hangar where Jets landing in the airport park.
- One can be found taxiing near Michael's hangar. It will park in front of it. Sometimes it will be a Shamal instead.
- One may spawn taxiing in the northwest area, east to the northward runway. It will park near two Jets.
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Can be purchased on ElitasTravel.com for $1,500,000.
- Spawns inside Devin Weston's hangar in the Los Santos International Airport at level 50.
- Sometimes spawns at the Sandy Shores Airfield.
- Sometimes spawns near the southeast side of the airport near the end of runway 33 L.
- The emblem on the back of the Luxor is actually the coat of arms of Emperor Rudolf II of Habsburg. Here's a version of it.
- The Luxor was originally supposed to be colored white, instead of black.
- Unlike the Jet, it cannot be seen taking off, only landing.
- The Luxor is essentially a private jet version of the Shamal, while the Shamal is civilian and commercial.
- Elitás Travel's page of the Luxor says that "Internet Entrepreneur Tony McTony owns one in red with a huge yellow M on the side, custom-fitted with chandeliers, gold toilets, seal-skin waterbeds, DJ booth, marble statue of himself, dogfighting ring, bottom-less flight attendants, and a margarita machine in the cockpit."
- Its livery might suggest it is based on Etihad Airways the Emirati Airline based out of Abu Dhabi.
- It is possible the airlines San Fierro Air and Los Santos Air use fleets of Luxors, as both are assigned terminals at Los Santos International Airport, yet do not have any marked aircraft and multiple Luxors are present in the area.
- The Luxor cannot fit in Trevor's hanger by reversing it. However, if placed in by going forwards and then leaving the area, it will spawn there and the tail should slide out when accelerating.
- In GTA V, despite the plane being able to sit 10 people, including the pilot, in Online mode, it cannot sit more than 2 persons in Story Mode. If you reunite all three protagonists and enter a Luxor, one of the two will sit next to you and the third will stand out of the plane.
- A picture of the Luxor can be seen in the Max Payne 3 multiplayer map "Tiete River Docks" along with pictures of a Shamal, a Titan and a Hydra.
- The size and weight of the Luxor along with its retractable gear produce enough drag to tear the landing gear off, and in reality is is highly advised against to leave landing gear protruded.
- When the nose of the plane is damaged, it will somehow become transparent.

Has anyone ever used one of these? Seen a few youtube videos by sellers but not much there by owners who use them for pot plants. We have problems with spider mites and two different types of worms each year and with a pump sprayer you dont always get the inner parts of the plant sprayed very well and is time consumming. I heard these make the spray mist penetrates all around the plant much better.

Hey, I'm Susanna!
Hi! I'm quiet, clean, bookish, quirky-funny, and make friends easily. I'm a cellist, Russian / English tutor, and proofreader. Past landlords have called me a model tenant, and now, as a homeowner myself for over a decade, I recognize the importance of treating houses and belongings with care. You'll barely know I'm there, and I'll leave your apartment exactly as I found it. I'm a non-smoker, omnivore, and respectful of cultures and lifestyles different from my own; I've traveled quite a bit abroad (Czech Republic, Russia, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Israel, Croatia, Bosnia, Venezuela, Japan, Mexico & more). Love gourmet cooking & baking, classical music & jazz, foreign films, walking & hiking for hours (I travel car-free), green living, and home remodeling. I'll probably be in town to see a show, check out nice restaurants, go on walking tours, and/or visit old friends, possibly with my boyfriend Keith, who is also quiet, smoke-, drug- and alcohol-free.

It has been a bit of a disjointed yet busy week, so I thought I'd end it with a new Mystery Volcano photo. It might be another challenging photo like MVP #31, but we'll see how you do - and again, try to offer as much detail as you can about the image.
As for Kirishima, the volcano in everyone's eye, it continues to have explosive eruptions and Japanese officials are making contingency plans for a possible evacuation if the eruption gets worse. How might it get worse? Well, if the new dome in the crater (see top left) collapses or causes pressure to build in the conduit, producing a more explosive eruption, either scenario might generate the pyroclastic flows.
The current standings:
Here is the new MVP (reader submitted, no less) ... give it your best shot, more detail the better.

Good luck!

text: The Playstation 4 is already released on the North American market and many are revealing the console to run on an AMD Jaguar CPU, clocked at 1.8GHz. Before the machine's release, it was thought that the PS4 will run on a 1.6GHz CPU only. On top of that, it is the AMD Jaguar so we can see the PS4 capable of going to 2GHz since the CPU is built for that speed.

Considering the Bush family and their criminal wars, is it so unreasonable with voter support gone now, to suggest that the likes of Al Gore, the criminal lab coat consultants, pandering politicians, lazy teachers, criminal PR firms and most of all, the irresponsible NEWS EDITORS, all be round up and arrested and charged with treason for leading us to a false war of climate change? They condemned billions of people to death by CO2 for 24 years and we are supposed to just let them walk away now? Twenty-five years wasted on climate control instead of population control. Email your authorities in your particular part of the world and maybe, just maybe, history will not mock us all for this modern day witch burning of climate change. Meanwhile, the UN had allowed carbon trading to trump 3rd world fresh water relief, starvation rescue and 3rd world education. NOW tell us climate change wasn't a crime!
Here's a new one - how about everyone has to buy snow tyres so they don't always lazily blame the authorities when they could be doing something about it for themselves...
I'll get my coat
To properly close the "cut-out-and-throw-away" loop you should add No. 11 - Royals Guff;
"...and this is the snowiest 25th November since the old King died, and the Queen Mother (wasn't she marvellous?) knew a thing or two about snow and ice, being Scots and having that Dubonnet habit, but isn't it a scandal that the Queen is nice and warm in the Gulf this week, not showing solidarity with her loyal but frozen subjects, still that nice Kate Middleclass (or is it Catherine?) will warm our hearts if not our feet, and...."
... and I claim by £10 [allegedly..]
You have struck a promising seam of blog material here, first with the royal wedding and now with snow. There must be other other promising themes to consider for the future. For example there is financial advice for puzzled savers - these seem to crop up at least every six, if not three, months on your old paper the Daily Telegraph - and it usually sounds word for word. Then there is the future of the Euro, will it survive - or not as the case may be? Are the Cameroons a fifth column inside the Conservative party? Is Hilton a fifth column inside the Cameroons?
Also the No/Snow headlines: "Snow where to go" "Snow long" and s(n)o(w) on
And for TV: the inevitable shot of a line of cars approaching a roundabout, front wheels spinning. Unless you're using archive footage you have to get to Aberdeen before 2pm when it gets dark. Maybe there's a single stringer in the Granite City that all news outlets go to for such footage - with a backup located somewhere in Northumberland.
Surely the mystical Number Eleven of Spinal Tap fame must in this case be a Made Up Word to describe the snow...
Last year it was 'Snowpocalypse..'
So maybe this it will be 'Snowmageddon'
'Driftzkrieg' [sorry!]
or, or..
Maybe other readers can do better ?
Love it - someone should give you a sketch column

Elena Kagan famously wrote that Senate judicial confirmation hearings were "a vapid and hollow charade" in 1995. Of course, as a nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, she gains nothing by being blunt, so who can blame her for taking the cagey route?
Not I.
But I can comment on how perfectly the term "vapid and hollow charade" fits the Harvard Law School policy -- barring military recruiters from using the school's Office of Career Services -- which Kagan championed as the school's dean to protest the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. As she explained in a 2005 e-mail, "I believe the military's discriminatory employment policy is deeply wrong -- both unwise and unjust."
In Cambridge, Mass., her position was popular. In Washington, it is not. So Kagan told the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, "We were trying to do two things, to make sure military recruiters had full access to students and protect our anti-discrimination policy."
That is, Kagan spent the week arguing that the policy was utterly meaningless.
"Military recruiters had access to Harvard students every single day I was dean," she boasted.
And: "I respect and indeed I revere the military."
Sen. Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the committee, wasn't buying it. He told Kagan, "You keep referring in your e-mails and all to the military policy. Isn't it a fact that the policy was not the military policy, but a law passed by the Congress of the United States?" He complained that recruiters who had served in Iraq or Afghanistan "were appearing to recruit on your campus ... and you were taking steps to treat them in a second-class way."
And: "Why wouldn't you complain to Congress and not to the dutiful men and women who put their lives on the line for America every day?"
The answer is simple: To complain to Congress would entail standing up to Democrats, including her old boss, President Bill Clinton.
So instead, Kagan and company targeted U.S. troops acting under orders. When doing so became inconvenient -- that is, when it impeded her ascension to the Supreme Court -- she argued that the military ban didn't really do anything.
Kagan even boasted that under her watch, military recruitment went up.
PolitiFact, the nonpartisan fact-checker, investigated that claim and found that, "Most years, two or three students went into the military. In 2005, it was five students. We rated Kagan's statement Half True." (PolitiFact also found that the Harvard Law School Veterans Association that "did assist the military" in lieu of the Office of Career Services was "unable to provide the full range of services" available to other employers.)

All-Purpose Vegan Cheese Sauce
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 20 mins
This recipe is somewhat similar to my Mexican Flavored Nacho Cheese Sauce - Vegan, however, there is FAR less nutritional yeast in this mix. Nutritional yeast is an aquired taste for some, so this is a nice, mild tasting vegan cheese sauce, that can be served plain over veggies or with chips, OR spiced-up accordingly (ie cumin, chili powder, diced tomatoes & chillies, vegan taco meat...possibilities are endless) For the spices listed below, feel free to use 'heaping" teaspoons. The cashews can be soaked ahead of time to ensure that they puree smoothly, but this is not necessary. I heated my cashews, plus the water, in a glass measuring cup for about 4-5 minutes in the microwave to soften them a bit...
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 3⁄4 cups water
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 8 ounces pimentos, with liquid
- 3⁄4 teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 1⁄4 cup nutritional yeast
- Add ingredients to blender and puree until very smooth (a good 5-6 mintues). Scrape down sides as you go.
- Add mixture to sauce pan over low to medium low heat.
- Wisk until thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
Most Helpful
10 Stars! Love this so much! I make versions of this type of quick sauce often, this one is definitely near the top of my favourite list. The amount of "nooch" is just right, because you're right Kozmic, it's not a flavour everyone enjoys, you could easily add more if that's what you're going for. I had to leave out the pimentos, but otherwise made as written - only I halved the recipe (whipped it up in my Magic Bullet). Mustard was a nice addition here. I had the sauce with some noodles and gardein nuggets for dinner, it was so good I practically polished the entire half batch off myself. All depending on what you're doing with this, I think yielding 2 cups would only serve 4. Thanks for posting. Veg*n Swap July 2010.
Absolutely the BEST cashew cheez I've made. I did make a couple of small modifications: I used Smoked Paprika instead of regular and I skipped the pimientos and added a minced quarter of a red pepper instead. Unbelievably fast, easy and mess-free. My whole family loves this.
Yum, I loved this! I had with some chips, then used in a bean and "cheeze" burrito. I didn't have pimientos(!) so used raw red bell pepper and it turned out great. Thanks, will use this often!

As the owner and designer of "Bloom Creek", I make my home in far northern California (Redding) with my high school sweetheart and husband of 34 years. We are fortunate to be surrounded by rivers, lakes and mountains and enjoy spending most of our free time enjoying the great outdoors. We have been blessed with four granddaughters, who continue to inspire a series of "Blooms" quilts and fill our lives with so much joy.
Having been an avid quilter for over 20 years, I eventually became proficient enough in machine quilting to start a quilting business in 2002. Though I loved the creativity of the design involved in machine quilting, I still hadn't truly discovered my passion.
With the growing popularity of the pre-cut 5" charm square packets, I began to dabble in designing patterns for use with charm squares. I wanted to come up with creative ways to use these squares, as I grew weary of quilting endless quilts that merely had the squares sewn together! I was fortunate enough to be provided with the opportunity to market my first few patterns and teach my designs at Sew Simple, a local quilt shop in the Redding area. To my surprise and excitement, the response was overwhelming! With the support of many friends and family, I seriously ventured into the business of quilt pattern design, which ultimately led to the creation of "Bloom Creek". Needless to say, I have truly discovered my passion and am thrilled to be able to share my designs with the quilting world.
I look forward to continuing to expand my designs and am hopeful you will enjoy them and experience endless hours of happy quilting!

Best Expensive Italian Restaurant (1999)
Carpaccio in the Bal Harbour Shops
After an exhausting day of trying on clothes and jewelry, what else could refortify a stalwart shopper but a plate of handmade pasta, a glass of wine, and a simple fish or chicken dish? Wearing Prada pumps and Gucci loafers, many such hungry shoppers wait in line for the superior northern Italian food served up by chef Manuel Poucar. The menu features elegant homemade pastas, pizzas, and, of course, carpaccio in a dozen variations. That delicious pasta may set you back as much as 25 bucks, but hey, other diners could have spent that much on shoestrings.

Credit: 6,000 Years Old and Still Evolving Vigorously
Davies, Glyn, Business Credit
Noah's Ark (if it was ever built) was probably floated and provisioned on credit, for by the time of the traditional biblical date of the Great Flood, 2349 B.C., sophisticated forms of credit had long been well established in the Middle East. The ancient Doubting Thomases who may well have been induced to finance Noah were finally liquidated in a double victory for Noah and his extended ecological family.
Be that as it may, there are numerous, fully authenticated facts to prove the common, everyday existence of credit instruments and transactions as old as recorded history itself, that is from roughly around 4000 B.C. "Money," said Keynes in his Treatise, "like certain other essential elements in civilization, is a far more ancient institution than we were taught to believe. Its origins are lost in the mists when the ice was melting, and may well stretch back into the paradisaic intervals in human history of the inter-glacial periods, when the weather was delightful and the mind free to be fertile of new ideas in some Eden of Central Asia." (Keynes. J.M., 1930, A Treatise on Money, I, 13)
Credit and the Invention of Writing
It was from this lost Eden that money, recorded credit and banking, as well as writing and our duodecimal methods of counting time and space - and of financial accounting - originated. If one were to speculate as to how writing first appeared one might dreamily imagine that romantic necessity or poetic inspiration were the causes rather than the prosaic need to record debts and credits - which in reality turns out to have been the actual source. "Writing was invented in Mesopotamia as a method of book-keeping. The earliest known texts are lists of livestock and agricultural equipment. These come from the city of Uruk c. 3100 B.C." (Oates, J., 1979, Babylon, 15) Literally hundreds of thousands of cuneiform blocks have been unearthed by archaeologists in sites along the Tigris and Euphrates, many of which were credit receipts and monetary contracts confirming the existence of banking and credit operations as everyday affairs, common and widespread throughout Babylonia. Categorical evidence regarding credit procedures is still available for our inspection in the Code of Hammurabi, inscribed some 3,750 years ago on a diorite block, over seven foot high, now in the Louvre in Paris.
Credit in Ancient Egypt: Grain and Banking
Credit development in ancient Egypt, although based at first on royal temples and palaces, grew in time into a distinctive form of giro-banking based on deposits of grain. Thus, although some rudimentary elements of a giro system of payment had developed much earlier in Babylon, the honor for the first fully efficient giro system, enabling a nationwide circulation and transfer of credit, belongs to the Egypt of the Ptolemies. The numerous scattered government granaries were transformed by the Ptolemies into a network of corn banks with what amounted to a central bank in Alexandria, where the main accounts from all the state granaries were recorded. Seed corn, the capital base both of the banking system and of the economy in general, was directly under the control of the 'Oeconomus', whose official duty it was to see that the seed corn would not be used for any other purpose. Grain may have been considered a rather primitive form of money - but the world's first giro system transformed it into an efficient method of credit with many of the most desirable elements of modern finance.
An expert on this period shows that these giro-bank accounts "are especially interesting because they show how popular recourse to the banks became with the people of Egypt. The system of paying one's debts through the bank had the additional advantage of officially recording transactions and thus providing important evidence in case of litigation." (Rostovtzeff, M., 1941, The Social and Economic History of the Hellenistic World) At this point it needs to be emphasized that ancient banking emerged a thousand years before the appearance of a viable system of coinage, whereas in the case of the Anglo-Saxon and northern European world, coins preceded banking by a similarly long period of time. …

An implicit fourth order difference method for viscous flows
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: A new implicit finite-difference scheme for viscous flows is presented. The scheme is based on Simpson's rule and two-point Hermite interpolation, is uniformly accurate to fourth order in time and space, and is unconditionally stable according to a Fourier stability analysis. Numerical solutions of Burger's equation are presented to illustrate the order and accuracy of the scheme.

in Helsinki, Finland
Words by Paul Dodson
On the streets of Finland's vibrant capital Helsinki, there's less purpose in the stride of your average Finn. They'll leisurely browse the food and knick-knack stalls of Kauppatori (market square) or amble aimlessly amidst the newly uncovered greenery of the Kasvitieteellinen Puutarha (botanic gardens). Ice sheets that for months proceeding have covered the inlets of the Baltic Sea meld back to form part of its watery mass as daylight finally begins winning its ongoing battle with darkness.
The end of April marks a very special time on the Finnish calendar; the beginning of Spring. Ask just about any Finn you care to meet what that means to them and they'll give you a one-word answer, Vappu! Vappu is the closest thing you'll find to Carnival in this part of the world, an unrivalled, two-day Finnish celebration held the length and breadth of the country. It brings out the Finns in droves. To many in the know, it's Europe's best kept party secret.
Helsinki's celebration of Vappu begins officially at 6 p.m. on April 30th as tens of thousands of revellers file onto Helsinki's most grandiose street, Esplanadi to witness the placing of the ylioppilaslakki (a cap presented to Finns upon matriculation) on the statue (Havis Amanda, an Art Nouveau nude). The honour of washing her down and then placing the cap on her head circulates annually between Helsinki's Universities. Each year more elaborate plays - usually involving cranes and dangling students in various stages of intoxication - are engineered to outdo the previous year's performance.
With Havis Amanda's cap firmly in place, corks from thousands of bottles of sparkling wine fly skyward and a sea of ylioppilaslakkeja (caps) are waved enthusiastically in the air. Streamers are unfurled and balloons of all shapes and sizes float overhead. You couldn't escape the heaving mass if you wanted. Vappu has begun.
Students, brightly dressed in sponsor-covered overalls (each University faculty or department has their own colour scheme) gather in unsteady gaggles around the city, bottles of sparkling wine in hand, wrapped in streamers and blasting on whistles. Families enjoy the festivities in the parks and squares, sharing sima, (a lemon and sugar based yeast drink) tippaleip� (a sugar-dusted, deep fried sweet dough) and maybe a little sparkling wine of their own. And when the sun goes down on April 30th, Vappu kicks on until the wee morning hours at the hundreds of Vappu house parties and the myriad of fine bars, clubs and restaurants that Helsinki has on offer.
May 1st sees Helsinki's celebrations take a different turn with a slightly more sophisticated tone - for some at least. The day's celebrations are centered around Kaivopuisto - a rambling park close to Helsinki's embassy district - where tens of thousands of merrymakers turn it on for the city's biggest picnic. Traditionally a herring breakfast is held where typical food and drink includes silli (herring), sima, munkki (jam-filled donuts), tippaleip� and nakki (small frankfurts). For many - especially the student population - the picnic is a continuation of yesterday's celebrations as one day staggers into the next. For others, still wiping sleep from their eyes, it's a more sedate occasion and the chance to spend quality outdoor time with family and friends.
For some at Kaivopuisto, Vappu picnic is a black tie affair. White-gloved waiters serve the finest champagne in crystal flutes whilst canap�s are nibbled al fresco. Violinists, highly polished silverware and the finest china add to the ambiance. One thing's for certain, if the day begins relatively sedately it certainly gathers momentum. By the shank of the afternoon Kaivopuisto is swinging and swaying in a sea of multi-coloured overalls.
For many, the end of the picnic marks the end of Vappu and the beginning of the long-awaited out-of-doors months when Finns take every possible aspect of their lives outside. Depending on the day of the week and the commitments faced on May 2nd, hardier souls again take the party back to Helsinki's plethora of drinking holes.
The often-reserved Finns come out of their shell at Vappu and English is never a problem - most locals speak an embarrassing array of languages. If the weather's on song, Helsinki provides the perfect backdrop to one of Europe's largest national celebrations. If the snow's still falling don't panic, the Finns are a hardy bunch and a little white stuff isn't going to stop them partying like mad. So if you like your celebrations loud and as part of a crowd, then Vappu may be just the fest for you. Kippis!
Vappu AddressApril 30th celebrations centre around the Havis Amanda statue on Esplanadi,. May 1st celebrations move on to Kaivopuisto, a central Helsinki park.

Sugarfina: The Gummis
Sugarfina is a new candy webstore with a unique set of offerings.
Based in Southern California, Sugarfina brings a chic aesthetic to all their candy with their minimalist packaging in robin's egg blue and square formats. The candy is sold in "bulk" that is, it's repackaged by them and sold in an array of different weights. They have created a superb curated list of candies. Some you'll recognize, but their biggest selling point is an array of exquisite European candies that I've never seen sold anywhere else.
Candy is sold in little boxes of different weights or in mixed boxes (they call Bentos) that make excellent gifts. Their team truly understand that candy should appeal first to the eye and then to the rest of the senses.
I still get plenty of offers for free candy samples, but lately it has to be something pretty special to get me to bite. But when you see this list of candies, you'll see what got me interested. Today I'm presenting the assortment of gummis (and one jelly candy). All of the gummis are from Germany and most feature natural colors.
Bitty Berries is a mix of three different gummis. There's a large raspberry looking gummi that has a rather raspberry flavor. Then there are three smaller berries, kind of like petite blueberries that are different colors and flavors. The light amber ones are like a white grape juice flavor, lightly tangy but with a black currant note to them. The pink version is and the purple is like a jammy raspberry. Blueberry, Raspberry, Blackberry, Cranberry and Bilberry.
They're just exquisitely beautiful. Even when I wasn't interested in eating them, they were just too cute to look at.
Rating: 8 out of 10
Champagne Bears come in two colors: a soft peachy pink and a lightly yellow clear. The clear is like a clean apple juice flavor with a light peppery note. The peachy one is, well, much the same. I couldn't really tell them apart except that sometimes the pink one seemed to be a little more raspberry flavored. They're firm and intense. They're well formed and held their shape well, even though they were jammed into their little cube.
I liked them, but didn't think that they were anything better than the new juicy Haribo. But I do like the colors and think that for a special occasion, they'd be a nice favor.
Rating: 8 out of 10
Sugar Peach Sweethearts - I was pretty scared of these. They smelled strongly of peach, not in a bad way but in a strong way. They were so strong that I had to take them out of the bento box and sequester them by themselves so as not to contaminate the chocolate pieces they were co-mingling with. So I was afraid that they'd be overwhelmingly chemical tasting.
Quite the opposite is true. They're little miracle pieces, on the tongue they actual feel for a moment like a real peach. The texture of the sugar sanding is velvety like the fuzz of the peach. The flavor is at once tangy and fruity and honey-sweet and floral and woodsy, like actual peaches. There's no weird artificial coloring in there to give it a metallic aftertaste. They're a bit more tart that I'd probably like if I were to eat them by the handful, but as a little refresher on a hot day when I have a dry mouth, these are unbeatable.
Rating: 10 out of 10
Queen of Hearts were billed on the website as three different flavors: pineapple, grapefruit and black currant. They're also three different sizes of hearts. So it's a lovely looking combination, although the largest heard gets folded over a bit inside the little cube.
Pink was indistinct, but reminded me enough of pineapple to make me think that's what it was. Slightly floral with a tart bite and a crisp flavor to it. It was more like canned pineapple though not as syrupy.
Clear tastes like peach. I'm not sure what flavor it was supposed to be, I was hoping it was the promised grapefruit, but it was tangy and a little peppery. (I did notice that the peach mentioned earlier were very strong, I was wondering if the flavor migrated from the more delicate grapefruit.)
The dark one was definitely black currant. It was strong and had notes of wine and deep boiled cherry.
Rating: 7 out of 10
Cuba Libre is simply amazing. It's a cola gummi, so far so good, with a little softer bubble of rum within. It's stunning. The cola flavor is spicy and tart, a mix of nutmeg, cinnamon and perhaps a little warm kick of ginger but nothing overt and then the acidic bite of lemon. The rum is sweet and a little on the caramel side. I've never seen these anywhere else, and I can't believe they aren't being imported and sold in the US by the cargo container as it is. If there's a reason to order from Sugarfina, it's the Cuba Libre gummi.
Rating: 10 out of 10
Minty Polar Bears are downright weird and I'll go ahead and warn you that they're not mint. They're like a bubble gum flavored mentholated chewy cough drop. The first note on the tongue is a little tartness then a huge whiff of what I can only describe as acetone (which I sometimes get confused with banana flavoring). Then there's a menthol hit, a little more of a sort of mild lime flavor and the bitterness of that zest. It all ends with a slight queasy feeling.
I've had eucalyptus gummis before and liked them quite a bit, so I was hoping for something like that. I find them curious enough that I continue to sample them from time to time. But I never feel like I want to eat another one, just that I should.
Rating: 6 out of 10
Heavenly Sours are little stars, comets and crescent moons in fruity flavors. They're sour sanded and come in lovely naturally tinted colors. They're not actually gummis, they're jellies. They're made in the US, not in Germany like most of the other gummis from Sugarfina. They're tart and have nicely distinguished flavors. Orange is a zesty and tart orange. Lemon is wonderfully sour. Blue is raspberry and a little overdone. Red is cherry and is, well, cherry.
Rating: 7 out of 10
As a thank you gift or something for someone who has everything, this is a great option. It's not cheap, so it's not something I'm likely to treat myself to very often. They also have lots of themed boxes and kits, so it's easy to pick for Coffee Lovers, Licorice Aficionados, or Caramel Fiends. The large bento boxes with 8 x 4 ounce boxes of treats are $50. By the pound, the candy is $17.50.
They do a good job of labeling for allergies as well, even if they won't tell me who make those Cuba Libre gummis.They're currently only available via the web, but there's talk of a store in the future here on the west side of Los Angeles.

Sour Punch Punchies
It's as if I've got a theme going with all these new products that are bite versions of the established candies. Today it's a nibble from American Licorice's popular Sour Punch line. These are Sour Punch Punchies and are described, simply as: soft,chewy, sour candy.
The two ounce bag has nuggets of candy coated wheat-based sour chews in five flavors: lemon, strawberry, tangerine, blue raspberry and green apple. They're similar to the Chewy Sour Extinguisher that they released a few years ago, which had sour nuggets along with a magic one that would neutralize your ability to taste sour temporarily.
Sour Punch Straws and the later Sour Punch Bits are sour chews with a wheat flour base, like Red Vines. They usually have a sour sanding on the outside and a more intense flavor than a regular Red Vine. They're devilishly messy, as the sanding tends to get everywhere. I also found that one straw was often more than I wanted as a portion. I like sours, but not in large quantities as age has finally taught me that too much sour is bad for my tongue if I'd like to use it for the following days.
The Sour Punch Punchies are have a core of Sour Punch Bits and then a candy coating similar to a jelly bean - it's smooth on the outside but a little grainy and not crunchy. The colors are bold and very vivid.
Tangerine was the flavor I tried first, because it was bound to be good. The sourness was great but also had a nice hit of zest right away. The grain of the coating reminded me of Lemonheads, since there's a bit of a "peel" effect with a sourness at the margin between the shell and center. The center is a little gummy and pasty and has a slight wheat flour note to it, as most of the Sour Punch products do.
Blue Raspberry is floral and seedy and sour. It's very artificial at times, but an overall winner.
Lemon was right up there, again, bringing a lot of the qualities that I love about Lemonheads, but with more flavor in the center.
Strawberry was milder and like a smoothie in a way, not quite as sour but with a creamy note that the chew at the center brought in.
Green Apple was pure artificial in all the right ways. It tasted nothing like actual apples (as some candies will straddle the line) but more like Jolly Ranchers amped up. The sourness was not as strong as the lemon, which was by far the most intense.
There's enough acid in there to burn my tongue before I finished the bag, I was able to eat less then half before I got a stomach ache. They're really pretty to look at and I loved the flavor variety in the package better than the Airheads Bites (mostly because I like citrus and strawberry better than cherry and watermelon).
Wheat flour is a major ingredient, so they're not gluten free. But there's no gelatin but they do use confectioners glaze, so they're not vegan. There's also a lot more sodium in there, 170 mg, than I would have expected in a candy like this. They're made in the USA and Kosher.

Wonka SweeTarts Gummies
Brand extensions are nothing new in the world of candy. Little things get giant versions, milk chocolate coatings become dark chocolate. In the case of Wonka's iconic SweeTarts, they've gone gummi.
The new SweeTarts Gummies are not exactly new. There have been a few versions around, but they didn't invoke the classic candies in shape and flavor variety.
The new gummies come in six flavors and though they're in a bag, they are a similar tablet shape.
The assortment in the bag is soft and fresh and smells like SweeTarts. The pieces are a similar little disk shape as the classic roll version of SweeTarts, complete with a little divot in the center of one side. They're about .75 inches around and .3 inches thick. They're coated in a sweet sanding of sugar (not the sour sanding I expected).
What I found interesting about this new product is the list of ingredients indicates that most of these are made from natural colorings ... except for the use of Blue #1. Of course the blue gummi uses blue coloring, but I have to wonder if it's also in the purple one, too. The other ingredients include cochineal, but also gelatin, so it's off limits to vegetarians. It's made in a facility with wheat, soy, peanuts, milk and eggs as well.
Orange = Orange - starts out sweet and then gets more tangy. And when I say tangy, I mean like the one-note drink, Tang. Not that it's a bad thing, it's actually very satisfying for a gummi.
Yellow = Lemon - is quite fun. The lemon flavor is well rounded, very sour towards the end but smooth overall. Its flavor is quite close to the classic dry SweeTart.
Green = Green Apple - the spongy texture is fun and the flavor more tangy than apple-y. It's a generic green apple flavor, but less pronounced than the compressed dextrose candies.
Blue = Fruit Punch - I'm old enough to remember when the Blue SweeTarts came out, and still carry a grudge (this is also when the green switched from Lime to Apple). They're the one flavor that I usually don't eat, as I never cared much for the punch flavor itself. That said, these are actually really punch. Smooth, vibrant and the flavor gets less fruit and more sour as your chew or let it dissolve.
Purple = Grape - is one of my favorite SweeTarts as it is. The purple color is vibrant and appealing, but it also indicates a hefty bit of food coloring is in there. The moist and bouncy gummi, like the others, gets more tart as you chew. The flavor is artificial and not quite as subtle as the chalky SweeTart. Instead it has more floral notes that are not at all in keeping with actual grape or even fake grape, it's more like an ink flavor. I was disappointed with it, but only because I had high expectations.
Hot Pink = Cherry - is medicinal and woodsy, it almost has a raspberry flavor to it at first, but then as it gets more sour, it tastes more like cherry.
My true love has always been the classic chalky candies, but I'm sure there are some people who are looking for the texture experience of a gummi with the bold artificial flavors of SweeTarts. As far as tart gummis go, I'm a little more grown up now when it comes to sour and probably won't even want to stray from the Haribo Ingwer-Zitrone.

Gimbal's Sour Gourmet Jelly Beans
Gimbal's Sour Gourmet Jelly Beans were introduced on the heels of Gimbal's other gourmet panned offerings, their Lovers line of heart shaped jelly candies like Cherry Lovers, Honey Lovers and Sour Lovers.
The jelly bean mix has a gourmet price point, at $4.49 for me at the CVS, but the bag is big and it's made in the USA.
The mix includes 12 flavors in bold colors.
The beans are absolutely lovely to look at. They're small and well made, each was quite perfect. The Gimbal's factory advertises that it's free of most major allergens, including peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, eggs, gluten, gelatin and soy. As a jelly bean product they're also fat free and contain no high fructose corn syrup (but I've never actually seen a jelly bean made with HFCS). The front of the package says they're made with real fruit juice, and that'd be apple juice. It also says that it's a good source of Vitamin C, but that's only 10% of your RDA in a serving of 37 beans (about 1.4 ounces).
But as much as they tout the freedom from allergens, there are still plenty of other ingredients some folks may avoid, such as artificial flavors and colors.
Most of the beans were opaque, but in the case of beans of similar colors, one was translucent, the other opaque. The structure of the bean is the same as other jelly beans. A jelly center (modified food starch give it its smooth texture) covered in a grainy and flavored shell. In the case of these beans, they jelly center is the sour part, so the sourness goes through and through.
They're tiny, sized like most other gourmet beans like Jelly Belly.
Sour Lemon was fully formed, a mix of juice and peel but with a more boiled marmalade note than a raw flavor.
Sour Grapefruit was fantastic. There was a lot of zest and that pine-type bitterness along with a biting tang of juice.
Sour Tangerine was sour and juicy but unlike the other two citruses, the zest notes didn't come out until the very end.
Sour Mango was also orange, but opaque. The flavor was similar to peach, and if I wasn't told it was mango, I probably would have guessed that. It was soft and tart but had that fuzzy fruit flavor that mangoes and peaches share.
Sour Watermelon was the darker green bean. It was pretty good, it reminded me a lot of Jolly Ranchers in the best way possible.
Sour Apple was kind of difficult for me to like. At first I though it was watermelon, it was just too vague. There was an authentic note of apple to it, but not much else.
Sour Lime was almost a key lime. There was soft vanilla note to it but it really finished sour.
Sour Blueberry was refreshing, it had a good berry note to it, almost a raspberry. I wouldn't say it was really blueberry, but still quite fun.
Sour Grape is an unusual flavor for jelly beans. I see it a lot in hard candies but not so much in jelly beans or gummis. This grape is much like a Pixy Stix, tart and with that malic acid tangy bite and vague artificial grape flavor of soda.
Sour Strawberry had a great mix of flavors, it really had a nice floral start, like a fluffy wad of cotton candy. Then the flavor developed with strong tartness and finished with strawberry jam.
Sour Pomegranate had a lot of very dark floral berry notes to it. It never quite rang true as pomegranate, but it was still a very good bean, not as sour as the others.
Sour Cherry was well done. The flavor was bold and less medicinal than some I've had, with green notes and of course that sour finish that most of the beans had.
Overall, it was a good bunch of beans. Even those that I didn't really like that much such as cherry or mango were still quite good enough that I just ate them instead of trying to pick them out. It's hard to tell some beans apart unless you're someplace well lit, so sort before going to movies if you really don't want to get a flavor you dislike. I did like this flavor set better than the Jelly Belly sour variety which only has five flavors, but that's purely personal preference.
The intensity satisfied me quite quickly, without giving me acidic burns on my tongue. The price is a bit high compared to generic beans but less than half of what you'd pay for Jelly Belly. They do pack quite a punch and I'm unlikely to finish this 13 ounce bag before Easter even with daily grazing.

Wonka Springy Mini Chewy SweeTarts
I saw this box of Wonka Springy Mini Chewy SweeTarts at KMart and was excited by the idea of special Chewy SweeTarts for Easter.
But I should have known better, considering how disappointed I am that Nestle has replaced the beautiful large Easter SweeTarts with little ones this year.
This isn't so much a review as a reveal, for those who were curious about the product. (I reviewed them back in 2006.)
Mini Chewy SweeTarts have been around for at least 10 years, I think. They've been packages in different ways, they came in little single serving packs and these plastic flip top tubes. I like these theater boxes, they were certainly inexpensive at $1.00 per 4.5 ounce package.
The box calls them Springy, which sets them apart from the regular item. But there's nothing different about them except for the box design ...which isn't really better, just different.
The little banded spheres are made of a chewy, tangy compressed dextrose candy. They're coated in a little glaze to keep them from sticking together. They're firm but chewy. They're grainy, but have a satisfying cool and quick dissolve on the tongue with a nice blend of tartness, artificial flavor and weird texture.
I like them, I had no problem eating both boxes (except for the cherry and green apple, which I set aside). I was glad they didn't have that blue punch in there as well. I was just irritated that they weren't cute little seasonal shapes.
They're made with egg whites, so not appropriate for those with egg sensitivities or vegans. Also made in a facility that processes wheat. There are no other allergen ingredients (except all those artificial colors) nor any statements about nuts.

Wonka SweeTarts Chicks, Ducks & Bunnies (2012)
One of the earlier reviews I did on Candy Blog of a favorite Easter candy was for Wonka SweeTarts Chicks, Ducks & Bunnies. They were large SweeTarts in the shape of spring animals. At that time they came in Cherry, Lemon, Green Apple and Grape. Later, around 2008, the flavors were shifted to include the Blue Punch, Grape and Cherry only.
What I loved about the Easter edition was the flavor set, which really only had one flavor I didn't like (Cherry) and the extremely dense and large pieces (over one inch across). See this photo from the 2006 package. They sounded like plastic poker chips and were so much harder that they required an entirely different eating method from the less dense tablets.
This year, not only has the flavor set been changed but the size as well. It's a different product for those of us who loved the former. It's more like the Valentine's edition. They now have a more traditional set of flavors: Orange, Grape, Cherry, Blue Punch and Green Apple. (No Lemon.) They still come in the shape of chicks, bunnies and ducks, but they're quite small now, less than half an inch across.
Orange and Grape are exactly like the tablets from the roll. They're tart, almost to the point that they're salty. The grape is completely artificial, like a grape soda. The orange is bland, like a more sour version of Kool-Aid. The Cherry is quite strong, more on the woodsy side than the medicinal version. It's sour, like a sour cherry flavor, not a black cherry or wild cherry. The Green Apple is tasty, and quite sour with less flavor than some other green apple candies. The Blue Punch flavor came along after my obsession with SweeTarts waned, which is good, because I really don't care for it, even though it is one of the more intensely flavored pieces in the mix and doesn't get messed up with a red flavor after taste.
The little guys do actually stand up and they're molded on both sides, I appreciate that attention to detail. The flavor set is now 3/5 in my wheel house, which are not great odds. I really only love the orange and grape and will eat the green apple. The cherry and blue punch are equally artificial in their flavoring, but just not to my liking. I could probably go back to giving these at 10 out of 10 if lemon was still in there. How could you have something called a SweeTart without the one fruit that actually is exactly that?
I'm disappointed that the special-ness of the SweeTarts Chicks, Ducks & Bunnies is now gone. They were different from all the other SweeTarts candies, they were large but also more substantial and really wonderfully pressed. There's really nothing wrong with these, except that they're missing the lemon ... which is a very nice pastel color that fits right in with the season plus the fact that little ducks and chicks are actually yellow. But there's no need for me to stock up on these.

Napoleon BonBon Cola
Napoleon hard candies are made in the Netherlands and at one time were just a simple lemon candy with a sour center. Later they started adding other fruity flavors and of course the salted Dutch licorice.
When I was in Amsterdam last month on a brief layover, I popped out to the grocery store to see what else was new and I found these Napoleon BonBon Cola candies. I was excited to bring them home and eat them, though probably not review them. Then on Tuesday I was in the Farm Fresh Market at the Ferry Terminal in San Francisco and I saw them there too, so they're available (though probably rather limited) in the United States as well.
It's great to see them here, because there's really nothing else like them in American markets (though Japan gets pretty close).
The Napoleon construction of this candy is pretty easy to understand. It's a sphere of nicely flavored and press molded hard candy with a little reservoir center of powdered sour lemon flavor with a slight fizz.
The cola hard candy is smooth and has a good even dissolve without sharp voids. The flavor is sharp and distinct, a spicy mix of cola nut, a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg and tart citrus. The sherbet center started to leak out as I sucked on the candy, giving a little pop of tart flavor and sometimes a slight fizz. The center also gives a slight cooling effect on the tongue along with the searing sourness when taken at full strength.
I liked them a lot, there's a lot of interactivity considering the fact that they're just a hard candy. Cola flavor is pretty rare in the United States in candy, which is too bad because it's a great flavor that combines spice and citrus so well. I don't drink soda, but I love the flavors that were created for them.
If you see these, give them a try. I don't know if I'd special order them on the internet, but I'd certainly pick them up again if I saw them. They were especially good for the long drive back from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Hard candy is great for keeping me alert without too many calories.

Storck Mamba Sour Gummies
I've been stopping by convenience stores more often lately, waiting for some new candies to come out on the shelves, so I noticed these Mamba gummis. I've already tried the regular packages, but these were Sour, so says the big green splat on the front.
The Mamba Sour Gummies end up being expensive at the 7-11, which is almost as bad as going to a concession stand at the movies. 1.5 ounces is $1.19. The package says that they're made with real fruit juice (5%) and the calorie count per ounce (100) is actually pretty low for candy, with only 150 calories for the entire package.
The package says the flavors are: orange, banana, raspberry, pineapple and cherry.
The pieces are about one inch across and feature a sweet and sour sanding on them. They're soft and pliable, like gummis.
The idea of Sour Banana isn't exactly appealing. I don't care for unripe bananas, though they're not really sour, just not quite sweet yet and too firm. In this case the sour banana doesn't taste like either a ripe or unripe banana. More like a lime soaked banana.
Pineapple was dreamy. It was floral and tingly and unlike the banana that started out sour, this started out sweet and got quite sour towards the end, all the way to the jaw tingling finish.
Watermelon was quite mild and really only about the sour. It had a good and reasonably authentic watermelon flavor, which means not much of a flavor at all.
Raspberry is a sour jam without much floral or much in the way of that seed flavor. It's okay, not really one of the better raspberry gummies I've had, but it is at lease naturally flavored.
I didn't get any orange in my package, nor it appears any cherry.
The gummi market is crowed, though there aren't that many in sour available in little packets at the convenience stores, so I have to give credit to Mamba for being in that space. I think the biggest competition for these would be the Life Savers gummis. With the natural ingredients and 5% juice content in this version, I'd say a parent is much better off with these than Life Savers. The packaging and shapes don't make it feel like it's a compromise.
