Q. I've been told Vizio is American made. Is this true? Who makes Pro Scan and why is it Approxamitely $100 cheaper than comperable 40" models?
PROSCAN was under RCA, about 12 years ago. I owned a 32 inch PROSCAN years ago and they had the same features as any RCA. But now, PROSCAN is a bad reproduction of any LCD T.V. There are many"OFF-BRAND" T.V's like Insignia and Dynatec. Both of the later mentioned T.V.'s are BESTBUY house brands. Insignia is the better of the two as the insides and the LCD are SAMSUNG. The PROSCAN is $100 cheaper becasue of the contrast ration of 2000:1. Target is selling a 40 inch Magnavox with a contrast ration of 16000:1 for under $500.by LOVELCDTVS10/5/2015Was this answer helpful? (3) (2)Was this answer helpful?

Proscan is built and distributed by RCA america. Why is it so much cheaper? The answer is think of Doritos, Those are name brand then think of the "off"brand.

It used to be under RCA before RCA was purchased by GE. Now I believe proscan is under Oncorp. I have no idea where they base out of however. As for the pricing. That is a Walmart thing.

Customer review by Rduke407
I have read through every review on this TV prior to me purchasing it. I was pretty confident that the product would be a good one, but was still a little hesitant. One thing specifically was that the ratio was only 2,000:1. That is not very good. BUT when I received it along with the wall mount (Level Mount DC37SJ for $36 bucks. Holds this TV NO PROBLEM!!!) I purchased for it, I turned it on and was shockingly amazed. I've always been one of those kinds of people that says "you get what you pay for" and so I was hoping for the best given the price of the tv. So far it is GREAT and this TV has exceeded my expectations. I am glad I didn't have to spend $800.00 or more for the same thing. Last thing I need to do is hide the cords, but that will come later. For now, I just used twist ties left over from the packaging. FANTASTIC TV and hope someone will read this with confidence!!!
Customer review by PanamaEric
I have several LCD TV's. I purchased this TV for an upscale vacation rental that I own. The TV was just fine! Picture quality was good and everything worked well, right out of the box. No complaints! This was the BEST LCD TV that I could find for the money.

Academic Overview
You will study at the prestigious University of Granada's Center of Modern Languages (the CLM), located in one of Granada's most historic neighborhoods, the Realejo. Walking to class you will pass through winding cobblestone streets and hidden plazas. Spanish classes are taught in two historic buildings dating to the 16th century. Spanish is the emphasis, but there are also a large number of other modern language courses taught here. The majority of the students are international, especially in the summer; however there are also a significant number of Spaniards. We encourage you to sign up for an intercambio (or exchange partner) during your stay to provide opportunities outside of the classroom to practice Spanish. This is the ideal program for students interested in Spanish immersion and living in Spain. Granada is the perfect location due to its unique culture, wonderful student vibe, and relaxed atmosphere.

Don't rip me off!
| updated at xx
In this edition of Right On, we travel to Italy to find out more about so-called "unfair commercial practices" and how to avoid them.
Sometimes, the scams are obvious, such as miracle cures, for example. But others are hidden in places you don't expect to find them: in loans, or between the lines of too-good-to-be true promotions.
We meet an Apple consumer, Giorgio Nobili, who fell into the trap:
"When I bought my computer, nobody told me that all consumer goods bought in Europe have an automatic two-year guarantee. The salesman said my computer only had a one-year guarantee, but that this would be extended to three years if I purchased the AppleCare plan, which cost me an extra 400 euros."
But what Apple omitted to tell Giorgio was that the computer he was buying was automatically guaranteed for two years, for free, under EU legislation.
Under the directive, customers can return any good up to two years after purchase.
Instead, Apple offered its client a so-called extended warranty, that, in fact, overlapped the free, statutory two-year warranty.
"As Apple is such a big company, I wasn't expecting to be ripped off. I thought that what they told me was true, so I signed and ended up paying much more than necessary. I feel they've made a fool of me, I feel duped and cheated," Giorgio told us.
Apple was fined 900,000 euros. The case was brought by Italy's Antitrust Authority back in 2011. The company, however, has not changed its practices in the rest of Europe.
Consumers' associations play an important role in fighting unfair commercial practices like these. They receive the complaints and pass them on to the Italian Antitrust Authority. Altroconsumo was one of the associations that fought the Apple case:
"Apple was forced to update the information given on its website, where the two-year free warranty wasn't mentioned, and they were also forced to give their salespeople new guidelines," says Marco Pierani of Altroconsumo.
According to the European Directive, there are two main categories of unfair commercial practices: aggressive and misleading. The latter, be it through action and omission, pushes the average consumer to take decisions he would otherwise not have taken. Misleading advertising is one example.
Roberto La Pira, a journalist specialised in consumer protection, tells us about the Danone case:
"This (advertisement) is a typical example of misleading advertising because it includes unconfirmed scientific data that confuses consumers. It says 50% of women don't take in enough calcium, but that's not true. It says that your diet cannot supply you with the daily amount of calcium needed, but that's absolutely untrue. The problem is that it was broadcast over a two-year period and people believed it. It's been censored, but nobody reported that, it wasn't in the papers or in other media. So the advert worked."
The advertisement was aired in Italy between February 2010 and June 2012. Danone was fined 170,000 euros for it.
Unfair commercial practices are everywhere and involve companies one wouldn't suspect.
Italian car giant Fiat, for example, was fined for promising motorists they would save a lot of money on fuel if they bought its car.
Even Italy's government-run train operator Trenitalia was sanctioned after it promoted 9-euros tickets that were virtually impossible to get hold of.
"No one really talks about misleading advertising because it's big business. Nine out of ten of large companies have been fined at least once. A typical example is telecommunication companies. Phone companies have been handed at least 100 fines, they don't play fair and they don't change their ways. Fines are included in their budgets," says Roberto La Pira.
Misleading advertising is only a drop in the ocean of unfair commercial practices. Door-to-door selling for example can easily turn into an aggressive practice. The EU has drawn up a black list of practices regarded as unfair and thus banned.
The EU Directive, adopted in 2005, replaced national legislation. Making sure it is enforced, however, is another kettle of fish.
Member states deplore a lack of resources, the complexity of internal procedures and the absence of sanctions:
"Each European country relies on a different body to check that the Directive on Unfair Commercial Practices is implemented. The problem is to communicate and share good practice and efficient decision-making," says Altroconsumo's Marco Pierani.
The legislation is in place. The goal now is to harmonise its implementation in order to make sure that what you pay for is what you get.

Aw Snap! Chrysler recalling 489,000 vehicles for various problems
Reuters is reporting that the Chrysler Group has issued a large recall for over 489,000 vehicles. The one recall is actually three recalls across a variety of models for different issues. The largest affects 328,424 Dodge Durango SUVs produced between 2004 and 2006. There is an integrated circuit in the instrument cluster of these Durangos that could overheat. The second recall affects 149,605 Jeep Liberty SUVs produced between 2006 and 2007. The blower motor on these Liberties could fail, particularly in hot weather. Finally, the third recall affects the brand new 2008 Dodge Avenger sedan. About 10,994 Avengers are being recalled for problems with their door latches. This fairly major recall follows another recall Chrysler announced in late February that involved 51,000 vehicles requiring reprogrammed software for their anti-lock brakes. Unfortunately for Tom LaSorda and crew, these recent recalls are not exactly the best foot the Chrysler Group would like to put forward for potential bidders that are considering purchasing the automaker.

We, 2 of us, need help for a 2 weeks itinerary from NYC - Philadelphia - Baltimore - Washington.
We are planning a trip from 23 Dec 2013 to 7 Jan 2014. Will be reaching NYC on 23 Dec evening and flying back from Washington DC on 7 Jan late morning. Tickets had been booked.
It's close to the travelling and we are still clueless if we should be spending both Christmas and New Year in NYC or should we be heading somewhere else for New Year instead. If so, where should we spend our New Year. We aware that the accommodation in NYC would be pretty expensive during this period.
Really appreciate some advice and suggestion for the trip. Thanks.

What kind of experience do you want for New Years? If you want a big party, then D.C. is not the place to be. The biggest celebration around D.C. is First Night Alexandria, a family-friendly event which, while fun, may not be what you are looking for.
Report Abuse
It woul help if your gave us some more info.
Budgets for hotels?
What things you already know you want to do?
Where you are from?
You will be here in midwinter - it will be cold - to possibly very cold everywhere - and sleet, ice and snow are quite possible since you are staying 2 weeks.
Are you traveling from one city to another by train? I can;t reco car - since they are expensive and useless in center cities. And in winter train is less subject to weather problems than plan, more comfy and at lest as fast.
Report Abuse
Thanks you both for the suggestion.
Well, we are between the age of 25 to 30 from Singapore and would definitely like to experience some skiing since it's winter. Any nice and reasonably priced places to recommend? =)
We had previously been to NYC and had visited most of the tourist attraction and sightseeing area.
We would still like to visit any recommended places of interest in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington if the places are not affected by the cold weather.
The mode of travel from city to another had not decided yet. However, will definitely consider train as suggested.
Once again, thanks for the suggestions. And your questions had set me thinking too. =)
Report Abuse
The whole northeast will be chilly (40s) to cold (20s?) - perhaps lower at night - and you will all need warm winter clothing and boots.
Don;t know what you mean by "not affected by cold weather". It's winter and it will be cold. Nothing is shut down - but there will be no flowers or leaves on the trees and grass is brown and crunchy.
As for skiing, the closest place I can think of off-hand is Hunter Mountain - but it will most likely by man-made snow. For real snow VT may be better - but you need to go to the Rockies to be pretty sure of the real stuff.
Report Abuse
The northeast is definitely not the best place for skiing in the early winter, though Vermont is by far your best option, and it's reachable by train from NYC. This will be a particularly expensive time to visit Vermont and NYC, but it will be pretty cheap in Philadelphia and DC. So I'd spend a few days in NYC, 2 days on a little skip trip, and then head to Philadelphia for a few days, and then finish in DC for a few days. Spend Christmas day in NYC, where you'll have the most options for activities and dining. This itinerary would probably place you in Philadelphia for New Year's, and it might not be so horribly expensive as NYC can be (though it will be plenty expensive to go out that night). Or you could plan your skip trip around New Year's and travel to Philadelphia on New Year's Day, which will be pretty quiet.

I have friends who go to NYC every year just for New Years, so I would be there that nite if possible.

Don't miss the Barnes Collection in Philadelphia.

I've always heard that if you can ski in the East Coast of the U.S., you can do it anywhere! I agree with Doug's suggestion above for itinerary. There are so many things to do in NYC, it's still possible you could easily stay from the 23rd to the 1st there and see new things. New Year's Eve there looks like soooo much fun.
Also, there are a couple of ski places in PA and Western MD that would be reasonable drives from Philly, Baltimore or DC. Weather is a big factor.
If you like art, I'm with Michael also about the Barnes in Philly. All of the American Revolution might be of interest to you?
Baltimore has the Walters and BMA both with world class art. So many museums (and most of them free) in DC so give yourself several days there.
Pray that our Congress has restored funding to government--the Mall and museums like Smithsonian won't be open.
If you haven't booked your NY hotel, don't wait any longer--it's a popular visit that time of year.
Report Abuse
NYE hotel prices in NYC will be huge - and you do NOT want to try to go to Times Square to see the ball drop. It is - at best - incredibly tedious, waiting 6 ot 7 hours standing n the stret packed into pens - and at worst ghastly - if the weather is bad.
If you're in NYC on NYE get a hotel uptown find a nice place for a dinner (but expect high prices and fixed menus) and then go to Central park to see the fireworks.
Report Abuse
New Year's Eve hotel prices are not always horrendous if you aren't staying near Times Square. It's always worth looking around to see what's available at what price. but I don't think you will want to structure your trip to spend so much time in NYC proper if you are only going to be here for 2 weeks.
But it bears repeating that Christmas is a busy time here, so if you don't make a hotel reservation soon, you simply will not have one in NYC for a reasonable price.

Pictured: Hero Roswell teacher who convinced 12-year-old shooter to drop his gun after he opened fire on classmates
- The suspected shooter identified as Mason Campbell today was arrested Tuesday at Berrendo Middle School in Roswell
- Social studies teacher John Masterson talked the child down
- He described it as a 'harrowing experience'
- Two students, including an 11-year-old boy thought to be the shooter's target, were critically injured
- The other, a 13-year-old girl identified as Kendal Sanders, was shot in the shoulder
- Her aunt posted on Facebook that she had undergone emergency surgery while her parents held a vigil at her bedside
A hero teacher, who put himself in front of the 12-year-old Roswell school shooter and bravely convinced the child to drop his weapon, has spoken out about the 'harrowing experience'.
Brave John Masterson, a social studies teacher at Berrendo Middle School, convinced the shooter, today identified as 12-year-old Mason Campbell, to put down the .20-gauge, sawed off shotgun and give himself up after his shooting rampage left two of his classmates fighting for their lives.
The 7th grader walked into a packed gymnasium at the beginning of the school day on Tuesday and opened fire at his classmates, leaving an 11-year-old boy fighting for his life and a 13-year-old girl, named as Kendal Sanders, in serious condition.

Saving lives: Hero social studies teacher John Masterson talked the Roswell school shooter down after he left a 13-year-old girl and 11-year-old boy in critical condition
Selfless: John Masterson stepped in to save students with no thought to his own safety. Police officers commended his actions
After the first shots rang out, Masterson was quick to react, throwing
himself towards the armed youngster and convincing him to lay his
shotgun on the ground.
'Mr. Masterson ... was a hero ...who stood there and allowed a gun to be pointed right at him,' New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez said at a vigil Tuesday evening, according to CNN, 'and to talk down that young boy to drop the gun so that there would be no more young kids hurt.'
Mr Masterson has been a teacher for ten years and also coaches soccer at the school.
He told the Albuquerque Journal he was warned not to speak at length about the shooting but spoke of his horror.
'It was a harrowing experience. All I can say was the staff there did a great job,' he said.
two victims were first taken to Eastern New Mexico Medical Center and
then airlifted to the University of Medical Center in Lubbock, Texas,
where the unidentified 11-year-old boy reportedly told nurses he was the target of the
spray of bullets.
A teacher also suffered minor injuries but refused medical aid so he could stay on to assist at the scene.
Kendal Sanders was initially classed as critical after being shot in the arm but has improved so she is classified as in a serious condition today.
Shooter: Local reports identified the shooter as 12-year-old Mason Campbell
Victim: Kendal Sanders, 13, is one of the shooter's victims. The pre-teen was shot in the shoulder and had to undergo extensive surgery according to family members
Tears: Students are reunited with family following a shooting at Berrendo Middle School, Tuesday, January 14, 2014
Roswell police announced soon after the shooting that the suspect had been arrested at the campus and was in custody.
At the press conference, New Mexico state police chief Pete N. Kassetas said the drama unfolded at the school around 7:30 a.m.
'(The suspect) walked into the gymnasium. We believe the weapon was concealed in a bag and it wasn't known about until right before he started shooting,' he said.
Witnesses said the 11-year-old victim was shot in the face, though officials refused to confirm this.
Kassetas said the school's principal recognized a NM state police lieutenant who was dropping off his own child as she locked the door and asked for his help. However, when he arrived inside the gym, the weapon was already on the ground.
He went on to applaud the bravery of school officials.
'It is one thing for a police officer whose job this is to intervene but for a teacher or staff member to intervene, I commend the principal and the teachers and people at this school for saving many more lives,' he said.
Too much: A parent falls to their knees as they hear more about the early morning shooting
Police: Police were on hand at the chaotic parking lot as frightened parents waited for their children
Kassetas said detectives were conducting interviews with over 100 students and faculty as part of the investigation but they were confident the 12-year-old was acting alone.
He didn't know a motive at this stage and said officers had been in touch with the parents of the suspected shooter and both victims.
Superintendent Burris insisted security at his schools was not to blame and said the incident came as a total shock to all.
'We come to school daily thinking we are going to educate our kids and lead them but we never think things like today will ever happen,' he said. 'And they do.'
Roswell Mayor Jere Wood told reporters he was devastated by the news and called for an end to such senseless acts of violence.
'We were saddened when we heard of the shooting we were saddened for the victims and their injuries and the hurt it has brought to the community of Roswell,' he said, offering up any resources the ISD required for things like counseling.
Earlier, Gabriel Tortillo, a 7th grade student at Berrendo, told the Albuquerque Journal he saw a male student carrying a gun. He said that student shot a boy in the eye area.
Sixth grade student Anyssa Vegara said she was talking to a security guard when she heard the shot.
'I turned around and all I saw was someone on the floor with their arm bleeding,' the student said.

Relief: Kathy Sigala cries as she hugs 11-year-old Zippy and 12-year-old Jade. 'I just want to take them home and love the,' she said
Shooter: No information about the shooter or the type of weapon used has been released
She said the security guard ran to help the injured student, and school officials ordered all the students to their classrooms.
It was earlier reported that there were at least four victims, but the injured kids appeared to have been counted twice.
Roswell PD posted word of the shooting on its Facebook page not long after 8 a.m. local time.
The school was placed on lockdown and children were transported in buses from the school to a nearby mall where their terrified parents came to collect them.
Eventually, Anyssa was able to text her mother, Monica Vegara.
'From the time hearing about it, until the time she texted, it was a nightmare,' the panicked mother told the Journal.
An image posted by KOB4 from the mall shows chaos as worried moms and dads crowd the parking lot, waiting to be united with their kids.

clearly becomes too much while others embraced their children, overcome with relief.
Another picture posted by KRQE shows frantic parents and authorities gathered around Berrendo Middle School soon after police announced a shooter had opened fire at the campus.
Around 9 a.m., State Police Public Information Officer Emmanuel Gutierrez said the threat had been 'alleviated.'

Scary: Students are escorted from Berrendo Middle School after the early morning gunfire. the shooter is in custody
'... this incident is being investigated. There are many resources and law enforcement officers on scene securing the area,' he added.
Roswell City Councilor Savino Sanchez said he found out about the shooting after receiving a phone call.
He said once news of the shooting spread throughout town, residents began to worry. 'I know a lot of people are concerned,' he said.
Roswell has been rocked by gang violence in recent years and has asked Homeland Security Investigations to step in and help.
The city has a population of about 50,000. It a center for ranching and farming and is home to the New Mexico Military Institute, the only state-supported military college in the West. The city is perhaps best known as the site of an alleged UFO crash in 1947.
A prayer vigil was held Tuesday evening.
Governor Martinez added: 'Please don't forget this community is a strong community. There is no doubt they will pull together.'

Woman killed crossing Highway 26 in Sandy
A woman was struck and killed by a vehicle as she was apparently trying to cross Highway 26 in Sandy on Saturday.
The name of the victim was not immediately released.
The driver of the vehicle remained on scene and is cooperating with the investigation. According to the Sandy Police Department, there is no indication the driver was impaired at the time of the crash.
The accident happened around 8:45 p.m. on Aug. 15 just east of Ruben Lane. When officers responded to the scene, witnesses reported a woman was struck by a vehicle headed east after she apparently tried to cross the highway outside of a crosswalk. Sandy Fire Department personnel pronounced the woman deceased.
The eastbound lanes of Highway 26 were closed for at least two hours. Oregon State Police are assisting in the crash investigation.

bookshelves: reviewed-for-night-owl-romance
Read in December, 2011
Frances Stockton can create a story that will completely absorb you into a world of tantalizing pleasures with characters that draw the reader into an emotionally compelling read. Phalen is a dominant man with eyes for only one woman--Cassie. Cassie feels the overwhelming passion that sizzles when Phalen surrounds her with his presence. They are two incomplete souls that call to the other even as their passions take them to the naughtier side of Phalen's life. He wants her submission but knows he must slowly bring her to the BDSM side of his life. Between these two characters, the pages will sizzle and burn as they explore their growing relationship. The depth of emotions within the well-developed characters will pull you into their lives, and the plot has many surprises to bring an element of danger into an already amazing story. Ink Master is a fantastic story with uber sexy characters you will love and an edgy plot that will leave you hankering for more stories from the talented mind of Ms. Stockton. A breathtaking read and one I thoroughly enjoyed.

I have a
UITableView that is configured for a subtitle cell. When I add a cell to the
TableView I have two arrays. One for the subtitle and the other for the main label. I also have an
NSMutableDictionary so that when I add the cell to the table it records an object and a key. My problem is when I want to delete the cell from the
UITableView I use this method:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) {
[myArray removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[numberArray removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:@[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
} else if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleInsert) {
// Create a new instance of the appropriate class, insert it into the array, and add a new row to the table view.
This works great for removing the objects from their associated arrays, but I also want to remove the objects from the
MutableDictionary I made. I thought that you would use somethings similar to what I used with the arrays.
[myArray removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
But I can't use
[myDictionary removeObjectForKey:indexPath.row];
Does anyone know how I would write this?

Suicide rates are much higher in the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community than in the regular population. An estimated 40% of LGBTQ youth have attempted suicide.
The LGBTQ youth community is especially at risk for depression and suicide because they often feel isolated and can have a hard time finding acceptance from peers and family. They are three times as likely to report not feeling safe in school, due to the fact that 90% of LGBTQ youth have been harassed or assaulted in the past year.
LGBTQ people need your help and support. Find a nonprofit near you providing support services and join the cause.

The present invention provides a food product having a shell with two sections of distinct materials, a soft filling within the shell, and an outer coating and a method to produce such food products.
Food products comprising a shell that encloses a soft filling and is covered externally with at least one coating layer are well know, particularly in the form of confectionary products. For example, the Ferrero� Group markets candies under the trademarks Rocher� and Confetteria Raffaello� in which a filling is enclosed in a shell of two hemispherical wafer half-shells covered in chocolate.
However, these known food products suffer from shortcomings. In particular, known products are unsuitable from both strictly technological and organoleptic points of view for production in the form of a chilled product. For example, one well-known food product uses warm binders, such as molten chocolate, in forming the shell. The warm binders are inherently incompatible with chilled products because the warm binders generally solidify at lower temperatures. An alternative process of producing food products at warm temperatures and subsequently cooling the food products is also undesirable because this production method degrades food product's taste and appeal. For example, cooled food may become undesirably chewy or hard.
Accordingly, there is a need for a food product having a shell, a filling within the shell, and an outer covering that can be chilled while preserving desirable organoleptic characteristics. Furthermore, there is a need for a method to produce, at relatively low temperatures, food products having a shell, a filling within the shell, and an outer covering.
The present invention alleviates to a great extent the disadvantages of the known methods and apparatus by providing a food product having an inner soft filling, an outer covering, and a shell with two halves, one half-shell composed of wafer and the other half-shell composed of a moldable food substance.
In general, the present invention provides a shell with two half-shells of varying composition and physical characteristics. The two half-shell connect mouth end to mouth end to form the cavity containing the soft filling. In one embodiment, the half-shell composed of the moldable food substance is made from chocolate, and it optionally includes hazelnuts or cocoa butter. In another embodiment, the half-shell composed of wafer has a high sugar content, preferably 8-9% by weight. The half-shell composed of the moldable food substance is generally heavier than the wafer half-shell and may even be twice as heavy. In another embodiment, the half-shell composed of a moldable food substance is hemispherical, whereas the wafer half-shell is basin-shaped with a flat bottom. The wafer half-shell may even have a substantially frusto-conical shape. The half-shell composed of a moldable food substance may also have an indentation to hold an optional decorative element such as whipped cream supporting a disc-shaped object.
The present invention also provides varying fillings and outer coverings. For instance, one embodiment of the present invention has a soft filling containing a nut. Alternatively, the food product of another embodiment has an outer covering containing particulate matters such as chopped hazelnuts or grated coconuts. Furthermore, this particulate material may be located between two successive layers of the outer coating.
The present invention also provides a method of producing a food product having a soft inner filling, an outer coating, and a middle shell with two half-shells, one composed of a moldable food substance and the other composed of wafer. The process involves the steps of (1) providing a soft filling and at least two distinct half-shells, (2) coupling the half-shells to from a shell enclosing the filling, and (3) applying at least one coating to the shell. During this process, the steps of coupling of the half-shells and applying the coatings occur in controlled conditions at a temperature no higher than 8-10� C. In another embodiment, the process also includes a final step of cooling the food product to approximately 4� C. and holding this temperature.
These and other features and advantages of the present invention will be appreciated from review of the following detailed description of the invention, along with the accompanying figures in which like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a type of half-shell employed in an embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the half-shell illustrated in FIG. 1 further including an optional nut as employed in an embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with the present invention;

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the half-shell of FIG. 4 further including a filling as employed in an embodiment of the an apparatus in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the half-shells of FIGS. 1 and 4 combined to form a complete shell as employed in one embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a complete shell with an indentation as employed in one embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the complete shell of FIG. 7 further including particulate matter as employed in one embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the complete shell and particulate matter of FIG. 8 further including an outer coating as employed in one embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the complete shell, particulate matter, and outer covering of FIG. 9 further including a decorative element as employed in an embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the another embodiment of the apparatus of FIG. 10 where the decorative element further includes a disc-piece in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 12 is cross sectional view along the XII--XII axis of FIG. 11 of an embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with the present invention.
The invention will now be described, purely by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawings comprising figures numbered from 1 to 11 which show schematically the production sequence of a product according to the invention, as well as a FIG. 12, which corresponds to a section taken on the line XII--XII of FIG. 11, on a slightly enlarged scale.
In FIG. 1, a generally hemispherical half-shell made of a mouldable substance such as, for example, chocolate, is generally indicated 1. The expression "mouldable food substance" is intended to indicate herein any food substance which can be formed into the shape of a half-shell of the type shown, in the liquid or viscous state, for example, as a result of being poured into a mould, and can then be set in the shape thus reached, typically by cooling.
Although the reference to a substance such as chocolate indicates a preferred solution, it should in no way be interpreted as limiting of the scope of the invention. This also applies in particular to the use of the term "chocolate" which should not be interpreted herein as being limited exclusively to compositions which can be called chocolate within the meaning of the standards for food products which are in force in some countries. The term chocolate used herein as indicative of a mouldable substance, should therefore be interpreted as including any product or substance having rheological characteristics similar or substantially comparable to those of chocolate.
A hemispherical half-shell of material such as, for example, chocolate can be produced by known moulding, pouring and cooling techniques. These are techniques widely known in the confectionery industry and a detailed description of their characteristics is therefore unnecessary in this context.
The half-shell 1 preferably has, in its top or polar portion, for reasons which will become clearer from the following a recessed portion 2, which can best be seen and is more noticeable in the section of FIG. 12, produced by means of a corresponding shape of the mould.
FIG. 2 shows schematically how a filling centre constituted, for example, by a nut such as, for example a hazelnut 3, may possibly but not necessarily be located inside the half-shell 1 which is subsequently to be filled with a filling 4 constituted, for example, by a chocolate-flavoured cream. This operation is performed by means normally used in the confectionery industry, which do not need to be described herein.
FIG. 4 shows in detail the structure of the other element which, together with the half-shell 1, forms the shell of the product according to the invention. This is a half-shell 5 made of wafer and preferably has a generally basin- or cup-like shape. Within the half-shell 5, which is formed by normal wafer-production techniques, it is therefore possible to distinguish a generally flat base wall 6 and an approximately frusto-conical peripheral or skirt wall 7 the mouth of which has diametral dimensions substantially corresponding to the diametral dimensions of the mouth of the half-shell 1 made of a mouldable substance.
It can be appreciated from FIG. 4 in particular that the rim of the mouth of the skirt wall 7 of the half-shell 5 is preferably produced by a cutting operation performed in a plane parallel to the general plane of the base wall 6. This result can be achieved on the basis of known solutions described for example in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,458,568 and 4,770,351.
A similar shaping is to be found in the rim of the mouth of the half-shell 1 which thus extends in a "meridian" plane with respect to the half-shell 1.
FIG. 5 shows the filling of the wafer half-shell 5, also performed by known means, with a soft filling 8 preferably similar or substantially similar to the filling 4 in the half-shell 1.
FIG. 6 shows how, after the moulded half-shell 1 and the wafer half-shell 5 have been completed by their respective fillings, they can be fitted together face to face by virtue of the substantially corresponding diametral dimensions of their respective mouth portions. This gives rise to an intermediate product constituted essentially by a shell formed by the two half-shells 1 and 5 containing a filling formed by the fillings 4 and 8, preferably completed by the centre constituted by the nut 3.
The two half-shells 1 and 5 can be fitted together face to face in the manner described above with the use of solutions known in the art.
As a result of the closure of the shell, the product acquires a certain solidity resulting primarily from the connection established between the respective fillings 4 and 8 which are preferably constituted by an anhydrous, low-melting filling containing hazelnuts, formulated with the use of vegetable oils and fats so as to achieve an ideal creaminess at low temperatures.
The intermediate product shown in FIG. 6 may be subjected, in known manner, to a first covering, or coating step, for example, with a chocolate-based substance 9 which is creamy when hot and can be set by cooling. This coating, which is preferably based on milk chocolate with the addition of nuts and vegetable oils, forms a perfect partnership with the filling of the product. This chocolate-based coating substance may then be completed by a sprinkling of a particulate substance 10 such as chopped hazelnuts, grated coconut, etc., on the product of FIG. 7 before the coating 9 has set.
As can be seen in FIG. 8, the sprinkling operation is preferably carried out in a manner such as to affect the entire surface of the product, possibly with the exception of the recess 2, if there is one.
This result can be achieved in various ways, for example, by protecting the polar portion of the half-shell 1 in the region of the recess 2 with a screen (not shown) during the sprinkling of the particulate substance 10. Another solution is to arrange for the first coating 9 to be spread over the entire surface of the shell of the product, the half-shells 1 and 5, except for the polar region of the half-shell 1 in which the recess 2 is disposed.
As shown in FIG. 9, the sprinkled layer 10 applied in the step illustrated in FIG. 8 is preferably coated with a further coating layer 11 of a substance identical or similar to that of the coating layer 9. Finally, a decoration constituted, for example, by a rosette of cream 12, possibly covered by a disc-like element 13 made of a substance such as, for example, chocolate, is placed in the recess 2 in the top or polar portion of the half-shell 1.
The finished product having the structure shown in greater detail in the sectioned view of FIG. 12 is thus produced.
As can be seen, this is essentially a praline-like product with a shell constituted by the half-shell 1 of a mouldable substance such as chocolate and by the wafer half-shell 5. The nut 3 and the fillings 4 and 8 are disposed in the shell. The shell is coated with the various coating/sprinkled layers the application of which is described above with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9, completed by the decoration 12, 13 at the top.
Although they are made of entirely different materials, the half-shells 1 and 5 are connected by being fitted together face to face, that is, with their respective mouth surfaces in frontal contact with one another, with the mouth surfaces extending so-to-speak in a "meridian" plane with respect to the general shape of the shell, that is, in a plane parallel to the plane in which the base wall 6 of the half-shell 5 extends.
The solution of the invention enables the product to retain a certain amount of wafer-like substance, the presence of which is appreciated from an organoleptic point of view as well as being useful for the purposes of the production of the product, at the same time avoiding the presence of too much wafer which could have an unpleasant effect in relation to the general appreciation of a chilled product.
By way of example, which, naturally, should not be interpreted as limiting of the scope of the invention, in the currently-preferred embodiment of the invention, if the overall weight of the shell constituted by the half-shell 1 and by the half-shell 5 is set at a value of 100, the half-shell 1 contributes about 70% of this value, and the half-shell 5 contributes about 30% (the contribution of the half-shell 1 is therefore greatly predominant and preferably at least twice the contribution of the half-shell 5. It will be appreciated in this connection that the absolute densities or specific weight of the respective component substances are usually quite different from one another.
Again for the purposes of a preferred embodiment of the invention, it has been found particularly advantageous to use, for the production of the half-shell 5, a wafer with a high sugar content, 8/9% by weight with reference to the half-shell 5 after baking with a wall thickness of the half-shell 5 of the order of 1.7�0.1 mm. With regard to the half-shell 1, the preferred selection, on the other hand, is a particular chocolate constituted by a "dark milk" base to which hazelnuts and cocoa butter are added.
Another preferred aspect of the production of the product described above is that the steps of the preparation of the half-shells 1 and 5, including the provision of their fillings 4 and 8, can take place at ambient temperature or anyway without specific temperature control; since a substance such as, for example, chocolate is concerned, the temperature values should in any case clearly not be excessive. Starting from the step of the coupling of the half-shells as illustrated in FIG. 6, it seems generally preferable to implement a temperature control which keeps the product as a whole at temperatures no higher than 8-10� C. during the coating, sprinkling, and possibly decorating steps, so that the normal range of temperatures at which a chilled product is kept, 4� C. or less, can be reached upon completion of the product.
Naturally, the principle of the invention remaining the same, the details of construction and forms of embodiment may be varied widely with respect to those described and illustrated, without thereby departing from the scope of the present invention.

A grand jury on Long Island is calling for mandatory blood tests for any driver involved in a car accident that kills or injures another person. If approved, police would be allowed to do this without obtaining a search warrant.
The recommendation is one of dozens in a report being released Thursday. The Suffolk County grand jury examined the explosion of prescription painkiller abuse on Long Island and elsewhere.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of a draft in advance of its release.[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3" title="Also read"]
The report comes just weeks before the first anniversary of a pharmacy massacre in Medford in which a gunman seeking painkillers murdered four people.
The report also urges mandatory electronic prescriptions on controlled substances. District Attorney Thomas Spota planned a noon press conference to release details.

The Grand Canyon State takes celebrating fatty foods to a whole new level at the Heart Attack Grill. Patrons weighing over 350 pounds eat for free. The Quadruple Bypass Burgerestimated by some to be worth 8,000 caloriesis at least refreshingly honest about its potential impact on your health.
Iowa: Hot beef sundae
In 2006, the hot beef sundae made its debut at the Iowa State Fair. An artery-clogging play on the classic hot fudge sundae, this horror was marketed as a new twist to an old favorite.
Michigan: BLT
Gigantic sandwiches can be found across the country, but the biggest ones in the country may be found in Birch Run, Mich., at Tonys I-75, as featured on the Travel Channels Sandwich Paradise. There, youll find the worlds most artery-clogging BLT. Each contains over a pound of bacon
Wisconsin: Deep-fried cheese curds
A by-product of the cheese-making process, cheese curds are a Wisconsin staple. At many carnivals and fairs, and even at some fast-food restaurants, cheese curds can also be found deep-fried.
Mississippi: Mud Pie

It is a mistake to assume that content development is an assumed talent, or that it can be an afterthought in the digital marketing realm. Content strategy is more than writing for the web. There is a science and strategy behind developing quality content for web pages, blogs, advertisements and social media. And although every successful copywriter must have a foundation of basics writing skills, such as subject matter expertise, an engaging style and tone, and basic grammar usage, there is much more to being a content king.
