This is a really good glue for the price, but as one other review said, the bottle design is poor. This glue is thick and the school glue top just doesn't get it. I took the top off of one of my Elmer's carpenter glue bottles, and put it on this bottle. It helped a lot!

Maybe it is the consistency of the glue or just the tiny opening in the cap or a combination of both, but I was squeezing as hard as I could to get the glue out of the container. My granddaughter was giggling when my arms started shaking as I was squeezing a death grip.

Good glue but had to mix it down a bit.

Comments about HFT Super Strong Acrylic Wood Glue, 8 oz.:
Glue was thick at first. Might have set on shelf for a while. Mixed it down with a bit of water. Now its fine. Works well. Sets up in a reasonable amount of time and produces a good strong wood bond.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love it
By Sanderguy777
from Kingdom of Tonga, South Pacific Ocean
I LOVE this stuff!!! From the reviews, I gather that the main problem with it is that the opening on the bottle is too small. I have had the same problem. Though, I am going to leave it the way it is, I will suggest that anyone who uses it can make the hole bigger, in small increments, till it works better.I would further suggest that if you are using it for a project where strength or anything else is critical to buy a brand name glue. I think it works fine but you will probably want to get peace of mind for a little more money. I have used this glue for years and I have not seen a need for better glue.

Great glue, slight challenge
By Jim
from Estacada, Oregon
About Me Value Oriented
Good glue, however glue will thicken because of a slight air leak which can be cured by removing the molding residue from bottle top opening. Note you will find it helpful to make sure the glue is the proper consistency- thin with water. I love this stuff!!!
For sure will buy more!
By Sawdust Maker
from Upstate NY
Easy glue to work with..very solid after full cure time..just as good as some other wood glues but a lot easier on the pocketbook.
Wood Glue Review
By Effectsguy
from Las Vegas
About Me Professional
Using for model railroading track laying.Sold by weight. Bottle is too large for weight of glue.Glue is too thick for the nozzle. Need to unscrew and remove nozzle.Glue comes out in uneven texture, mostly lumpy.Once out, an acid brush easily spreads the glue around.Does the job when finally spread.Ok for a lot of applications where precise finesse is not an issue.
Seems to work fine

very good wood glue

The container would be much better and get 5 stars if it were shaped like toothpaste container. Less waste!
Good quality
By BR549
from GA
Like others alread said about the top. I simply unscrew the top and apply from the bottle. Its thick and easy to spread with the bottle opening and looks great when laminating. I made hammer and axe handles out of black walnut and ash. They're holding up well.
Basically, a molding type glue...
By EBSTL
from St. Louis, MO
For the money, this is really good glue. I haven't fully tested its resistance to water. But, I'm sure I'll get a chance. Because I just glued up about 4 cutting board laminates with it. The stuff is very thick which is good and bad. Good, because it doesn't run all over the place when you are pasting up long laminate strips. Bad, because it's pretty much near impossible to squeeze out of the nozzle. For small parts, I think you'd be better off with either thinning, or another type of glue. This stuff is almost exactly like the Titebond Molding Formula white glue.When I use it, I take the lid off and squeeze a glob into my glue jar, and just use a brush to spread it. It works just fine that way. The thickness does help it to bridge fine gaps...a bonus with cutting boards that you don't want to have to edge plane all the strips.

While the 2016 NHL Draft lacks some of the drama that was provided leading up to last year's draft, when Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel vied for the right to go first overall, there is nevertheless some very good talent to be had at the top of this year's event. And even beyond the top 5, NHL clubs drafting in the first round should be able to land some good talent that will almost certainly suit up for NHL action in the not too distant future. Read more»

Several Ottawa Senators prospects enjoy exciting seasons
The Ottawa Senators took a beating this year in both the NHL and AHL, but there was still plenty for fans to get excited about—and each Hockey's Future award category has a clear winner.
Ottawa doesn't have any prospects in the OHL or WHL right now, which is probably why the system is underestimated so often. The team's biggest stories and best players are all found in the QMJHL, NCAA, and SHL. Read more»
Ottawa Senators boast deep system in NCAA and Europe
The Ottawa Senators may not have any big names playing in the limelight of the OHL, but that doesn't mean their system is in any trouble. Don't let the team's lack of Ontario-based prospects or AHL success fool you – much of the next big wave of talent will come from the NCAA and Sweden.
Of course, the team is no stranger to drafting overseas – a great deal of the modern team's success can be attributed to scouting overseas. This year's crop is no different, and once again the Senators boast a glut of Swedish prospects who have become larger assets than their middling draft positions indicate. Read more»

Bryan Ferry
Look up the word 'style' in the dictionary and you'll find the definition 'Bryan Ferry'. Upbeat and punky in the 70s, heartfelt and poppy in the 80s, his smooth and distinctive vocal sound made Roxy Music a worldwide success. Now solo, Ferry's flair for touching the romantic in everyone (now replete with jazz-tinged influences) is as powerful as ever.

How to downsample D800 images?
I was lucky enough to get my D800 yesterday, and now I'm looking for a "best practice" solution to downsample the raw (NEF) images that I import into Lightroom from my D800. My normal workflow is to import and backup the NEF images from my DSLR, and only create PSD copies for those photos that merit retouching. I find the D800 photos are roughly 2.5 times larger than the ones from my D7000, and I don't always need the extra resolution. Often I'd just like to downsample the D800 images to get better S/N and save space on my hard drives. Has anyone found a good way to do this?
- Thanks in advance, Jim
#1. "RE: How to downsample D800 images?" | In response to Reply # 0jagdpanther Nikonian since 15th Aug 2008Sun 06-May-12 02:10 AM | edited Sun 06-May-12 02:13 AM by jagdpanther
I don't have a D800 yet, but playing with some posted D800 RAW files I downsampled by resizing (and resampling) from within Capture NX 2: Edit -> Size/REsolution. (Ensure 'Resample Image' is selected) Choose your output size or file size and click on apply.)
I have used this method on RAW images from my D300 for years to both upsample and downsample. (I do this at the end of work-flow, just before output sharpening.)
Ok, I just re-read what you posted. What I suggested will work for changing the size of an output jpeg but won't change much of the size of your NEF file: Capture NX 2 is non-destructive, the original raw data is still in the NEF file.

As you can't res NEFs down, I'm presuming you're only talking about the images that you're taking into a PSD format. Given that, just 1) resize the images using LR4's export panel before taking them into Photoshop or 2) resize them using the bicubic sharper option in Photoshop once you've pulled them into CS5. You could also save your completed work as 8-bit PSDs, which would halve the space required on your drives if you're not already doing that.
Personally, I would never do this given how inexpensive large hard drives are. I'd also make certain I was taking advantage of every single editing option LR offers first (and there are many in LR4) so that I could stay with the smaller-sized raw files.

Hi Folks and Developers,
i know that STRATO (as one of some other hosts) set an file size limitation up to 30MB. A lot of different BackUp-PlugIns offered splited ZIP-Files where i can solve this 30MB Limitations easily.
Are those split feature are also planed in BackWPup?
Or has anyone a work-a-round for a different solution to solve that?
I really hope for an quick/fast answer, because i like this PlugIn as much as no other before ;-)

Toblerone Single Peaks
When I was a kid one of the prized chocolate bars to get in a Christmas stocking was a Toblerone bar. They were huge and exotic. Pretty to look at and certainly unique in their composition: milk chocolate with almond nougat bits.
Times have changed and Toblorone aren't so hard to find any longer. Toblerone is named for both the inventor of the confection, Theodor Tobler and torrones, the honey and almond nougat found in the chocolate. The shape is also distinctive (and protected by trademark), each piece a little triangle representing the Swiss Alps. The traditional bar is a series of twelve peaks. The single pieces are now sold in assortments and may be my perferred way of enjoying them.
The Toblerone is now made by Kraft, but before that it was made by Suchard (which was later swallowed by Kraft in Europe). Whether this has changed the quality of the chocolate is up for debate. I remember Toblerone being better when I was a kid, but there could be any number of reasons I appreciated it more.
The Milk Chocolate peak smells mildly of milk and coconut with a little chocolate touch. It has a pretty soft bite to it, so it's not at all stiff and waxy. The honey notes of the hard nougat bits and almonds come out immediately, and if you're a chewer, they add a little light texture. It's rather sweet, but also rather different from the overtly milky Swiss chocolates I've become accustomed to.
The second iteration of the Toblerone was Toblerone Dark in 1969.
It has a pleasant fruity overtone to the chocolate. It's semi-sweet, so it's not too dark, but still has a good melt. It's a little grainy, a little chalky feeling towards the end but the abundant torrone bits kind of cover that up well.
The nutty notes from the nougat also blends well. This is the first time I think I've tried the dark bar, and it doesn't really work for me. I'm completely missing the honey flavor from the nougat.
It's very sweet: throat searingly sweet. It's a good thing each piece is only two bites.
Toblerone White came along in 1973.
Though Toblerone calls this a "white confection" the fat in there is cocoa butter (so it really is white chocolate). So no worries about hydrogenated oils! It certainly smells strongly of Easter baskets and vanillin.
The milk flavors are very strong here, so strong it's almost like eating a block of sweet vanilla cheese or something. The nice thing about it is that it does enhance the honey of the nougat,
Now this one is pretty cool. I have no idea what it's called, as it's not really on the Toblerone website. I'm calling it the Toblerone Stack and it features a hefty base of the traditional Milk Chocolate Toberlone and a little white cap of the White Toblerone.
Maybe they're called Matterhorns. While the white chocolate one was far too much white chocolate, the balance of 3 to 1 milk chocolate actually works here.
The white chocolate makes the honey and vanilla notes pop even more and the milk chocolate keeps it grounded with the chocolate flavors. I know there used to be a candy bar in the States that had a trio of flavors stacked, the only current mass-produced bar I could find is the Australian Nestle Triple Decker (contains Strawberry, Milk & White).
The Toblerone Praline was introduced in 1997. It may be the only format they're available in (I've never seen them in bar form). They come in a smart red wrapper.
The outside shell is pure milk chocolate, no nougat bits in there. The inside is a softer chocolate cream studded with the almond and honey torrone. There seems to be a larger proportion of almonds in there than usual as well.
It has a very distinct and creamy melt like a truffle, but completely lacking in the honey flavors and coconut scent of the original Milk Chocolate.
I really like these Single Peaks and would love to buy them for Christmas for putting in stockings or perhaps just in a candy dish. I don't think they'd quite work for Halloween as an individually wrapped candy. Besides the fact that they're probably absurdly expensive for giving away to kids you don't even know the wrappers aren't sealed (just twisted) so it's possible that vigilant parents would just throw them out (or maybe they'd take them from the kids pointing out that they weren't sealed to protect them but actually eat them).
I got these as samples from All Candy Expo but of course there's no American website just for Toblerone, but here's the page on the Kraft site.
Has anyone seen them in stores?

Sixlets & Limited Edition Dark Chocolate Flavored Sixlets
Here's one of those candies that I only saw in my Trick-or-Treat haul: Sixlets. Oh sure, they were probably in stores that I frequented. They come in a variety of packets, including the "changemaker" size that holds eight little candy spheres and used to sell for a two cents.
The big reason I shunned Sixlets was I was never quite sure what they were. Are they like M&Ms? Are they candy coated peanuts? Are they a jawbreaker?
Eating them never really answered those questions. They definitely don't have nuts in them, but taste a little nutty. They're not like M&Ms, though there is a chocolate-like center. They're not jawbreakers, in fact the shell is pretty thin.
Sixlets are currently made by Oak Leaf, who makes bubble gum and other confections in Canada that are usually sold in bulk and dispensed in gumball machines that are sold by the handful. Before that they were made by Hershey's, which purchased the Ovation brand that made Sixlets under management of Leaf (they also made Whoppers, which Hershey's kept).
Sixlets are certainly cute. They come in vivid colors: Yellow, Green, Red, Orange and Brown. They're spherical and consistent looking, with a shiny candy shell. The center is a malty-flavored mockolate. Made from partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil, sugar and milk protein, they're not really that appealing as a confectionery item to eat on their own. Cocoa powder is way down at the fifth position on the list of ingredients. The candy shells are pretty ordinary, except for the orange one, which has a light orange flavor to it (just as Smarties from the UK do). The mockolate barely has a chocolate taste, and the whole thing is a little grainy and a bit greasy.
What they lack in taste they more than make up for with economy and portion control. What other candy comes in little tubes of 8 pieces? Not to mention the fact that each little tube has only 35 calories!
Why Oak Leaf came out with the Limited Edition Dark Chocolate Flavored Sixlets is beyond me. The regular ones barely taste like chocolate and any health benefits of "dark chocolate" will be ruined by the use of partially hydrogenated vegetable oil.
The package is attractive, the Sixlets mascot is some sort of an insect ... well, maybe he's an insect, he only has four legs. And he wears glasses ... and wants us to eat one of his segments.
These little packets were unmarked. Just generic clear cellophane tubes with little unbranded spheres inside.
They are similarly attractive to their original counterparts, with a light brown shell in the mix instead of a yellow one. The orange is also orange flavored here as well.
The taste of the "dark chocolate" isn't really noticeably different from the regular Sixlets. They're just as disappointing as the regular Sixlets ... except that I paid for this whole bag (I picked the other little guys up at the All Candy Expo).
There are differing stories about why they're called Sixlets. The current packaging has them in tubes with 8 pieces or 20. Some folks say that they used to come in tubes that had six for a penny. Others say that they came in boxes that had six individual boxes in each package and that's how they were written up in the wholesale catalogs. It could be that someone just thought it sounded like a good name ... maybe they were into numerology. The number six represents "Reaction/flux. Responsibility" according to Wikipedia. If anyone else has any theories, I'm happy to entertain them.
Caitlin at Candy Addict has a great fondness for them and Bad-Candy.com, well, thinks they're bad.
Like them if you will ... just don't call them chocolate. They might be good for decorating ... the rest of these are going in the Trick-or-Treat bowl (don't worry, I'll give the kids something good and just slip these in while they're not looking).

Dove Promises (Caramel & Almonds)
Dove has been adding to their line of Promises, the little chocolate nuggets they sell. It's nice they have such a diversified line and I do enjoy a little foil wrapped treat. Lately they've been stuffing caramel see review) inside those little nuggets of milk or dark chocolate. Now they've added a few more versions of those to the line by flavoring the caramel:
Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Flavored Caramel - this was less caramel and more like a hazelnut creme. It had a nice nutty flavor to it, though I didn't quite identify it as hazelnut. A little salty hit cut through the sticky sweetness of the milk chocolate.
Most of my little pieces were dented. I don't know if that was a function of the travel or if they're particularly delicate. (5 out of 10)
The Mint Caramel Dark Chocolate terrible, terrible pieces of confectionery nonsense. Gobbledygook, I tell ya! Gibberish! There's nothing wrong with caramel, nothing wrong with dark chocolate, nothing wrong with mint. But put them all together and you get this humongo double take of "what the heck were they thinking?"
The caramel is just weird - it's like it's over emulsified, if there is such a thing. It's gooey, but has no buttery element, no burnt sugary elements ... it's become its own strange, pudding-like product. That's it! It's like peppermint-butterscotch pudding ... with dark chocolate. It's just all kinds of wrong when I think too hard. (4 out of 10)
The strangeness continued with the Dark Chocolate Raspberry Caramel.
Luckily I didn't have a whole bag of each of those, just a little handful ... and now they're on their way to Kimberly, who won the drawing! (I should have had her sign some sort of a waiver.) Again, it's like raspberry flavored butterscotch pudding. I just didn't like all the flavors together and the salty hit of the caramel with the raspberry was just over the top. (4 out of 10)
The happy news is that the rest of this is all good. The more traditional new offerings to the Dove Promises line are just the regular milk and dark chocolate with some crushed almonds added in.
Almonds are a personal favorite of mine, I practically live on them (really, I eat them just about every day as a snack). What's always bothered me about Dove chocolate is its foolish consistency ... it feels too perfect, too manufactured and lacking any personality. The crushed almonds in the Dove Dark Chocolate with Almonds fix that.
They add some texture, they add some extra flavor, a little crunch ... they just complete the Dove Dark Chocolate. Any trepidation I had about their chocolate has disappeared with the added element. (8 out of 10)
The Dove Milk Chocolate with Almonds benefits similiarly from the crushed almonds. It makes the milk chocolate, which was always a little sticky sweet to me, more malty and rich. The milky flavors now take on a toasted, darker tone.
They please me. (7 out of 10)
A single Milk Chocolate with Almonds has about 45 calories in it.
I don't have the nutritional info on the Caramel line or the Dark Chocolate with Almonds, just the Milk Chocolate with Almonds, as that's the only one I have the complete packaging for. I'm not sure when these are showing up in stores, they're not on the Dove website yet. Anyone see them in stores yet?

Java Twix
One the much anticipated Limited Edition items at the All Candy Expo (at least for me) was the new Java Twix.
The cookie and caramel covered in chocolate combination is pretty flexible and creating new versions of this doesn't mess with the essential Twix-ness (just like there are many different cream and chocolate variations for the KitKat).
I've been searching for a good coffee flavored candy bar for years, for a country so obsessed with coffee it's rather surprising that we don't have one. (Yes, I'm aware of the Coffee Crisp and it just doesn't do it for me.)
The bar is the standard construction: a chocolate cookie with a stripe of coffee-flavored caramel covered in milk chocolate.
It smells sweet and a bit like caramel and graham crackers but not much like coffee at first.
Once broken in half and the caramel revealed it has a pleasant roasted-coffee aroma. The caramel is a bit salty with an actual authentic-tasting coffee flavor to it (in addition to the natural and artificial flavors they list espresso ground coffee as an ingredient). The chocolate cookie is crumbly and crunchy with it's own salty contribution. The milk chocolate on the outside is super sweet but pulls it together.
I didn't like the bar much when I first tried it out on the floor (I split a package with Ginny). But I have to admit that it was day two and I'd really only been eating candy for 36 hours (except for an awesome pile of shrimp at a party the night before).
But with the clarity of a lone bar on my desk without the clutter of a gagillion other flavors in my mouth and a billion other conversations flitting by on the show floor ... I really like this bar. I think it's the best Twix bar I've ever had. Yes, it's still a little sweet for me, but in combination with some nearly black coffee, it's growing on me.
You can expect these to start showing up later this year (reported release date is December 2007). In other news, if you were a fan of the Triple Chocolate Twix, it's actually back in the miniature form. Mars released a few "autumn mixes" this year (that included the Vanilla, Strawberry & Mocha 3 Musketeers). The Twix one has regular Twix, Twix Dark Chocolate and Twix Triple Chocolate. I found them at RiteAid in the Halloween candy aisle.
I hope the Twix Java at least finds its way into a seasonal bag ... and in dark chocolate please!
UPDATE 9/29/2009: Mars has announced that TWIX Java will become part of their permanent line of candies. You can expect them in stores starting in April 2010.

M&Ms Razzberry - Limited Edition
I'm a little late to this Limited Edition Milk Chocolate Razzberry M&Ms story, but mostly because I couldn't find them anywhere in Los Angeles. I tried all my usual haunts (RiteAid, Walgreen's, Von's, CVS, Target & 7-11) and finally found them Wednesday night at the Dollar Tree in Harbor City on my way to San Pedro.
The bag felt a little light, and it is. It's only 1.5 ounces instead of the usual 1.74 ounces for the Peanut variety or 1.69 ounces for the Milk Chocolate. (Of course the Pirate Pearls ones were similiarly scant.)
The bag is a pleasant hot pink and urges me to "Get Razzed" ... which as far as my understanding of the lingo that the kids use these days, that means, "Get Harassed." Okely Dokely!
At first when I dumped these out to take their photo I thought I got a bad bag. The color looks completely off. Now if you just handed me a bowl of them, I might say, "Oh, what a lovely muted pink color!" But because of the brightness of the package, this feels like it clashes, which makes me feel like it's unintended. But looking around at other photos on Flickr of the candies, it seems like they're supposed to be this way.
The size and shape is also irregular. Some are the same size as typical Milk Chocolate M&Ms and others are as big as the now-discontinued Mega M&Ms. I rather like the regularity of M&Ms when spread out on my desk when eating them, but these just didn't please me as much with their appearance.
The candies smell, like, well, someone spilled a bottle of raspberry after-bath spritz. I've spent a lot of time with fresh raspberries. When I was a kid, for several years when we lived in Ohio we had a raspberry patch in the back yard which was absurdly productive. While they weren't wild berries, they certainly weren't like the commercial ones sold in stores today. They were on the small side but bursting with flavor, a combination of sweet, tart and floral. By the time I was a teenager and we moved away, I was so spoiled by the real thing that I couldn't stand raspberry flavored things or bring myself to spend $5 for a teensy little portion of watery-tasting fresh berries at the grocery store.
The Milk Chocolate is okay, for some reason it tastes sweeter than the regular Milk Chocolate M&Ms (remember, I've eaten a lot of those lately), it could be the larger size of most of them that gave a bigger hit of the ordinary chocolate center. The chocolate simply wasn't creamy and I have to wonder if these were stored properly. Southern California experienced a wicked heat spell around Labor Day weekend and there were sporadic power outages all over which means that these could have bloomed in some way.
M&Ms stressed in their press releases about these that they're the first fruit flavored M&Ms ever given full distribution. (I guess they were ignoring those super exclusive fruity ones they did last year.) I'm sad that they didn't do orange, as I think that'd be a good place to start. It's easy to get an authentic orange flavor with chocolate. But then again these aren't raspberry M&Ms ... no, they're razzberry M&Ms, here to mock real raspberries (and us) with their fakeness.
Other views: Candy Addict gave them a mixed review and Gigi Reviews. If you like Raspberry Frangos, you'll probably like these.

The mint market is well, full of mints. So what's a company gonna do to distinguish themselves from the crowded field? Ver thinks it's hit on the right balance of novelty, quality and qualifications. Their line of six different flavors are vegan, Kosher and gluten free, nut free and all-natural (and featuring many organic ingredients).
Ver containers are cute little steel tins that are easy to open and close and feature eye-catching designs that reflect the flavors inside.
The blue tin was predictably Peppermint, their original flavor. Unlike a mint like Altoids, these aren't blindingly strong. Just simply, well, mints. The texture is pleasant. Not chalky, but a little crumbly but sufficiently dense. The intensity of the mint grows (though sometimes one mint may be stronger than another) as it dissolves and leaves a breath-freshening coolness when it's gone.
WinterMint is what I'm guessing is wintergreen since it features wintergreen oil in the ingredients. I think wintergreen flavor is undervalued in our culture and I blame Pepto Bismol for giving us the association of wintergreen with being sick. (Some additional blame goes to Ben Gay for making us think of locker-rooms and old people.) Upon reading a little more on the subject, wintergreen is not to be taken lightly as it can be toxic in very large doses, which you really can't achieve with a tin.
This was like one of those big Canada pink mints (wintergreen is also called Canada mint), but not as chalky. Smooth and peppery, I enjoyed these quite a bit. There were also little bits of real peppermint leaves in the pastilles.
With my motion sickness difficulties I tend to eat a lot of Ginger candies. I like to strike a balance between their spiciness, the amount of actual ginger in the candy and of course the overall taste. Too much spice and I can't maintain my intake (though fanning my mouth often takes my mind off of nausea ... so that's effective).
These crazy mints have a lot of ginger flavor in them and burn on my tongue right away. It dissipates after a moment and I forget about the inital scalding by the time I eat another one.
They have two kinds of ginger in them: ground ginger root and ginger flavor. I think ginger goes particularly well with Maple Syrup.
The bright red tin is hard to miss and easy to guess the flavor is cinnamon (well, they call it CinnaMint).
It's definitely cinnamon, completely spicy, kind of woodsy and a little sweet. There are peppermint leaves in this one too, but I think it would have been better to throw a few little bits of cinnamon in there while they were at it. But they didn't ask me.
For a while I was pronouncing this as Very Mints ... not realizing, first that they were spelled Ver with no I in there after the Ver. It wasn't until I got the VerMONT connection that I understood the name. I still think Very Mints is a good name, too. I might start calling the state it Very Mont.
The two flavors that set this set apart are the flavor combos. This one, Chai features Fair Trade teas from Honest Tea. Of course this means that this ingredients simply say that it contains "Organic Chai Tea" which is a pretty vague thing, kind of like "cake mix". I can taste a bit of the black tea background, some cinnamon and strong clove, a little nutmeg. I'd have liked, of course, more cardamom and perhaps vanilla notes. And less clove. Just make a clove mint and leave clove out of the other candies.
It's pretty good and a nice change of pace from the others. The spicy notes are refreshing and I think gives me pleasant breath.
The last flavor is Cafe Express which features Fair Trade coffee from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. The ingredients list both coffee and natural coffee flavor and they certainly smell like sweet, sweet coffee. The flavor is a little less intense, mellow and coffee-ish. On the good side of that, there's no coffee breath afterwards. On the bad side, they feel more like candy than a breath mint. Not that there's anything wrong with that since they're pretty much gone now.
Overall I prefer the texture of these to Altoids, they're a little smoother and the binder gums in there give them a very slight slippery feel on the tongue as they dissolve. The flavors are more pleasing than the similarly-textured Pastiglie Leone and completely different from the also-vegan friendly St. Claire's Organic Mints.

3 Musketeers Mini Mix
I was thinking back when I wrote the review of the new 3 Musketeers Mint about the original 3 Musketeers. I've been searching high and low for images of it, but alas there are none to be found via my diligent use of google. What struck me as so wonderful about the concept was that it was much like the long-gone 7up Bar and the still here Sky Bar - a combination of segmented flavors.
The old 3 Musketeers would have been the Neapolitan nougat of candy bars.
Imagine my surprise as I ducked in the Rite Aid on Friday to pick up some things for my vacation (yes, I'm on vacation right now as I type this) that not only did the store have much of their Halloween candy on display, they also had this Autumn Minis Mix. It doesn't say limited edition or anything. Perhaps it's seasonal, there are golden leaves on it, after all.
Here's an old commercial I found from the days of black and white television animation:
All for fun, and fun for all! Alexander Dumas would be proud.
It features not vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, but a slight twist with Strawberry, French Vanilla and Mocha Cappuccino.
The little mini bars are tiny, about the size of a normal boxed chocolate. Take them out of the wrapper and put it on an elegant plate and it might even pass for one at a glance.
While I've never quite understood what French Vanilla is (and it's often used as a description for candles and ice cream), I appreciate that this 3 Musketeers is a little lighter tasting. Where a regular one has a rather malty and dark salt flavor to it, this is light. It doesn't quite have vanilla oozing from its pores as a flavor (more like the absence of any other flavors distinguishes this one), it's still pleasant.
Against my better judgment, I love the Strawberry. It absolutely reminds me of Neapolitan ice cream! The strawberry is sweet and has a light caramelized sugar touch to it, a little floral-y and certainly on the fake side. But the soft, fluffy and rather foamy nougat pulls it off. The chocolate is passable enough as an enclosure and adds the cocoa flavor to bring it together (I can certainly see me hating it if it were covered in white chocolate).
The pink color of the insides is a little shocking and I'm guessing where the artificial colors listed in the ingredients are used. Kind of unnecessary in my book (especially since it seems that folks accepted the uncolored insides to the new Mint bar).
Mocha Capuccino are surprisingly nice. Not too sweet, a good texture and creamy counterpoint of the chocolate to the nougat. However, they don't taste like coffee. Nope, they taste like pecans or maple, but not like coffee.
I don't mind the flavor in the slightest, and considered it my second favorite of this bunch, but someone really needs to tweak their "coffee flavor" that they're selling to these candy companies. (It could have been much worse, it could have been that dastardly Mocha that those limited edition KitKats had.)
Overall, these are a nice change up from the standard 3 Musketeers and the simplicity of the bar in the first place makes the flavor changes perfectly acceptable.
The price point on these, $3.79 for a 9 ounce bag was a bit hard to swallow. I prefer paying about $2.50 for these sorts of things, but I figured, I'm on vacation (or will be).

Bit-O-Honey is one of those candies that I'm always surprised (and pleased) to see that they still make. And why wouldn't they? There's nothing else like it out there.
Bit-O-Honey was introduced in 1924 by a company called Schutter-Johnson Company in Chicago, Ill. Schutter and Johnson later split (Johnson went on to invent the PowerHouse bar which became a Peter Paul product, a nougat, peanuts and caramel product covered with chocolate, something I'll have to write about further later).
Schutter's made a nice variety of chewy goods including the Bit-O-Choc and the Bit-O-Coconut and a chocolate bar called Old Nick that featured milk chocolate over fudge and nuts.
In the 1960s Schutter's sold out to the Chunky folks who discontinued the Old Nick citing that it competed with their much more popular Oh Henry! Then in 1984 Nestle bought Chunky and the now orphaned Bit-O-Honey. (There may have been some intermediate companies in there for a while too, candy history is mighty confusing!)
The smiling bee on the wrapper didn't appear until the late seventies and later got arms as he does today.
Nestle has kept the bar largely the same as when it was first introduced. They even still make the six segment bar with the wax wrapper dividers. This is an interesting way to sell the candy and solves one of the enduring problems for taffy bars ... how do you eat it? Many taffy bars are easy to smack on the corner of the table and break into pieces (but who knows how those pieces will be sized?). The assortment of bars from Annabelle's and items like Laffy Taffy suffer from this (though Laffy Taffy also makes the ropes, which I think are probably the best format for a large quantity of taffy).
The Bit-O-Honey segments break apart pretty easily, though I always end up with a little smidge of paper on the back side of each piece where the candy has folded over the waxed paper. (It's not the end of the world if it ends up in your mouth though ... not like the foil on a Hershey's Kiss if you have fillings.)
As long as the candy is fresh and soft, it's a pleasant and surprisingly long-lasting chew. There are notes of honey as you would expect, as well as a smooth and creamy flavor of almonds. The chew is consistent to the very end, instead of descending into some grainy mess as many caramels do. There's a little egg white in there, which is part of what give it the smooth chew (a little different timing on the cooking and it could be nougat).
Bit-O-Honey are also sold individually wrapped, but I've never liked those as much (they're a little boxier in shape). They tend to be firmer (or rock hard). There's something about the bar that I've always loved.
I don't buy them very often, for fear of pulling out fillings (though I've never actually lost a filling on candy ... I lost a filling once on scrambled eggs and cracked a tooth on a rock in a bean salad once). It was nice to see them on shelves again at the 99 Cent Only Store and even better to find the product virtually unchanged.

Bipartisan Senate vote on Paul Ryan's Budget, I guess Democrats and Republicans can work together;
The Senate has soundly rejected a balanced budget plan authored by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan.
Five Republicans joined every Democrat present to kill the measure, which failed on a 40-59 vote.
The GOP's most ardent tea baggers Rand Paul of Kentucky, Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah opposed the measure, which projects a balanced budget in a decade but relies on $600 billion-plus in tax revenues on the wealthy enacted in January to do it.
Susan Collins of Maine and Dean Heller of Nevada also opposed the Ryan plan, which cuts sharply from safety net programs for the poor and contains a plan to turn the Medicare program for the elderly into a voucher-like system for future beneficiaries born in 1959 or later.

I have only watched Fox News for a total of maybe 1 hour over the past 4 years. I encourage you to do the same if you are like minded.
I don't feel like I need to keep up with that trash besides it does hurt their ratings when Democrats don't watch them.
They rely a lot on Democrats who tune into see how nuts they are and I have to admit some of it is pretty entertaining but when you tune in, it justs encourages them and reinforces their bad behavior.
Just tune them out...don't stop and check out what their up to ....
Believe me its not nessessary and you'll feel a hell of a lot better.

By Sam Baker - 03/21/13 03:12 PM ET
Republican amendments to the Senate's budget proposal would require President Obama and Vice President Biden to get their medical care through the new exchanges created by Obama's signature healthcare law.
Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) both offered amendments to move the president and vice president into the healthcare law's exchanges.
After the Affordable Care Act passed,
the White House said Obama would enroll in an exchange once the time came in 2014.
Collins and Ayotte's amendments would require the president,
the vice president
and the Cabinet to put their premiums where their politics are.

Relying on the Fox News Channel as your only source of news is like using MAD Magazine as a legitimate source of news. The Fox News Channel's reporting style is so biased and skewed that trying to obtain any real information from a news report is quite challenging. Fox News is a joke because it provides info-tainment rather than reality-based news coverage. Fox News Channel is a "news channel" in name only. The network is what L.A. Times Editor John S. Carroll calls "pseudojournalism."

Ex-Fox News Reporter David Shuster Talks About Fox News Bias :
David Shuster, former reporter for Fox News and MSNBC, spoke candidly about his days as a Fox News reporter, compared Fox to MSNBC and revealed an instance where Bret Baier refused to report a story that debunked a Republican talking point.(H/T Eric J.)
Shuster discussed his time at Fox News from 1996-2002 when he worked as a correspondent based in Washington, D.C. He told host David Pakman that Fox was a very different organization back then and that he never really had any issue with bias until the Florida Recount in 2000.
As for Foxs sinking ratings, he thinks the credibility gap is finally catching up with them. Their credibility simply doesnt exist any more. Shuster said Fox is seen as a Republican house organ, as GOP propaganda. Even some moderates and conservatives felt they got burned in the last election with Foxs predictions for a Romney victory.I think more and more Americans feel that what theyre getting from Fox News simply is not accurate and cannot be trusted.
Fascinating stuff.

Gingrich Accuses Fox News of Bias
By JEREMY W. PETERS
The fight for the Republican nomination is no longer just candidate versus candidate. Its candidate versus Fox News.
Newt Gingrich became the latest Republican candidate to lash out at the cable news network, accusing it on Wednesday of dooming his flagging campaign by slanting its political coverage to Mitt Romneys benefit.
Mr. Gingrich quickly found that Fox Newss tenacity is a match for his own. The network shot back on Thursday, calling the former House speaker bitter.
The sniping started when Mr. Gingrich, a former Fox News commentator, told a gathering of Tea Party supporters in Delaware that Fox News had distorted its coverage of him. And he accused Rupert Murdoch, chairman of the networks parent company, News Corporation, of pulling the strings behind the scenes. His comments were reported on Thursday morning by Real Clear Politics, which gained access to the Delaware event.

So, if you read the post I REALLY wasn't addressing you or your kind now was I. So even though I do appreciate your response I wasn't talking to you.
I see your Corry SuperBeing powers are kicking in full force when you're able to differentiate "credible" Fox News and the credible "Conservative Talk personalites." You must be a true Corry Superbeing to be able to discern the subtle credibility gap between these two fine entities.
However, since you're too friggin stupid to discern truth from fiction and I understand your Autistic brain malfunction I really was not talking to you...
Go cry to mommie, will ya?

Why Dick Morris is out at Fox, but Karl Rove survives
Both pundits were way off in their predictions for the 2012 elections. But Karl Rove is still a GOP player, while Dick Morris isn't. Fox's decision to drop Sarah Palin also fits the scheme.
The future of the republic does not hinge on this development, but the divergence in the conservative commentators fates is nevertheless telling. Both, after all, had issued spectacularly wrong predictions on who would win last Novembers presidential race.(Mitt Romney in a landslide!) Both were adamant, night after night, that their data were rock solid.
On election night, Mr. Rove went so far as to challenge Fox News decision to call Ohio for President Obama, which effectively called the election. In the most entertaining bit of TV all night, Foxs cameras followed while anchor Megyn Kelly led Rove back into the bowels of the networks political operations to talk to the number-crunchers about their decision.

Why Romney Never Saw It Coming
He was the numbers guy. But in the end his numbers were all wrong.
Mitt Romney says he is a numbers guy, but in the end he got the numbers wrong. His campaign was adamant that public polls in the swing states were mistaken. They claimed the pollsters were over-estimating the number of Democrats who would turn out on Election Day. Romneys campaign was certain that minorities would not show up for Obama in 2012 the way they did in 2008.It just defied logic, said a top aide of the idea that Obama could match, let alone exceed, his performance with minorities from the last election. When anyone raised the idea that public polls were showing a close race, the campaigns pollster said the poll modeling was flawed and everyone moved on. Internally, the campaigns own pollingtweaked to represent their view of the electorate, with fewer Democratsshowed a steady uptick for Romney since the first debate. Even on the morning of the election, Romneys senior advisers werent close to hedging. They said he was going to win decisively. It seemed like spin, but the Boston Globe reports that a fireworks display was already ordered for the victory. Romney and Ryan thought they were going to win, say aides.We were optimistic. More than just cautiously optimistic, says one campaign staffer. When Romney lost,it was like a death in the family.

If you get any paperwork from them respond quickly or hire a lawyer.
I had a credit card debt which I had paid down to 2500.00 from 5000.00 when it went to them. Before I knew it I had a judgement against me. My lawyer worked out an arrangement for a 75.00/month payment. I paid 13 months and then was hospitalized the week a payment was due. Then the next month I couldn't pay it because of medical and rx bills. The balance is about 1600.00.
They then levied my bank account because I was a total of 150.00 (2 months) behind. Freezing my account doesn't get them any money any quicker.
I have paid off 2 other credit cards and those companies worked with me, even to adjust the payment. They sent statements every month and payoff letters at the end. These were for amounts much greater than this account. Pressler and Pressler absolutely will not even speak to me, so that I can continue making payments. They are not playing by the rules.
They have now levied my bank account, which obviously won't get them any money any quicker.
The State of New Jersey needs to step in and rein these guys in as their tactics are harassing and terrifying to many of us here just trying to get by in a bad economic situation which most of us didn't cause. They are animals for making too many good people feel like criminals. They are just as bad as the preditor credit card companies they represent.

Well I enjoyed it, but then again I have a bit of a soft spot for the inconsequential 'stuff happens' type of thing. At least now with the a.f.k. subs I know what the opening song is about.
Although I think arguably (I'm split between that and Kono talking about her 'friends') the funniest bit was in Lucky Channel when Akira went from bouncy and energetic to angry and embittered.
Look forward to seeing how it develops.

Too late!!!! Just being REGISTERED on an anime/manga forum makes you 'otaku'!!!!! O the horror!!!! Flee for your life!
Seriously... the 'otaku' label is pretty much broken. The West has mangled the real meaning of the term - til it is just a fancy way of saying "geek/nerd fan of anime". Whereas in Japan, it still means a seriously subcultured lifestyle that may or may not be all that healthy. In Japan, 'otaku' brings up mental imagery in much of the public of a few nutcases who sporadically make the news after committing heinous crimes.... kind of like the mention of D&D in the 80s got you defending yourself from misinformed upstanding idiots about the Satanism and Drugs supposedly surrounding it.
Of course, the word itself is overloaded as historically it means "home" お宅, 御宅 otaku but written as hiragana refers to the slang meaning.
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otaku)

You know... all these "similarities" you are finding such as the Chiyo and Akari ones are simply character stereotypes traits reused commonly in stuff like this. In fact, the first thing I thought of in that Chiyo pic was the first transfer student from Konnyaku.

Kaioshin-sama! Troll! Enemy of Haruhiism!!!
Sorry, couldn't resist. Yanno though, being bothered by the lack of manliness in this show seems kind of odd since it's a show about high school girls. Although I'm also tired of having male leads who are whiny/incompetent. Anime needs more guys like Batou. And FYI... there's a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing.
Funny thing, I don't see the OP as being that much about dancing. Much of the footage isn't dancing, and some of the footage that is doesn't have the dance move creativity of Hare Hare Yukai. The fascination for me is with the music itself. I've been trying to figure out what's going on with all the time signature and tempo changes, the music is rather unusual for a "pop" song. Would be curious to hear some analysis from someone with more musical education than I have. I have to give the a.f.k. people major props for putting out what seems like such an accurate translation of the lyrics. Now I can sing it! Oh, and I was being driven nutz by the section in the middle after the shots of their legs, from that point to just before the cheerleading section was so reminding me of another song. Finally figured out what it is... "Spice Up Your Life" by the Spice Girls. Same shift to a lower register, with almost the same melody line. And I find both oddly addictive.
Going to put myself into the minority category here, I thought the section where they talk about food was the best part of the whole show. First because I've had conversations that are sooo similar in tone and flow, although not on the same subject matter. Second because I think it's a really good way to start the series by setting a tone that says thinking about the weirdness of everyday topics is the point... clearly we should expect a more cerebral and subtle tone than the sometimes manic pace of AzuDai, let alone the action of SHnY. And finally... because Miyuki is my alter ego. Or maybe I'm hers. She eats cake *just* like me... I've even used the phrase "normal distribution" to describe how I eat desserts. It's bordering on eerie. So I just hope that in my next lifetime I will be that cute!
About the somewhat over-rapid timing of many of the transitions: I'm thinking it may be a side effect of the extra strain that reading subs puts on the brain. A native viewer is going to be hearing the lines while their visual cortex is examining the elements of the scene. Someone who's trying to read the subs and look at the scene, back and forth, is gonna be a bit lagged mentally much of the time. This might make the cuts seem abrupt, when they aren't to the native viewer. Trouble is that a native viewer is also used to certain kidns of comic timing, so the only way to really test this theory is to find someone who's fluent but not immersed in Japanese culture. Or else I could watch a handful of scenes until I've memorized the dialoge, and then try watching without reading the subs at all.

"Summer Service Day - In Japan, students are required to show up at school a couple times over the course of summer break. Usually, it's only for a couple of hours and not a whole lot gets done. Maybe a little preliminary planning for the sports or culture fest. Tomo, Osaka, and Yukari all wish it were a summer service day rather than the real first day back in school."

A period of tight governmental finances and a growing desire for cooperation between Fort Wayne and Allen County have made local government structure a hot topic of public discussion recently.
I fully support an investigation of options for reforming our government structure. We should be prepared to make changes if they will make our area a more attractive place to live and to operate a business. It is essential, however, that we make these...

Shanghai Baosteel Group Corporation, commonly referred to as Baosteel, is a state-owned iron and steel company headquartered in the Baosteel Tower in Pudong, Shanghai, China.[3]
Baosteel is the fourth-largest steel producer in the world measured by crude steel output (after ArcelorMittal), with an annual output of around 40 million tons (China's total steel production in 2012 was 716 million tons[4]). It employs 130,401 employees as of the end of 2012, has annual revenues of around $21.5 billion, and produces a mix of products.[5]
Baosteel's IPO on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2000 was the largest in China up to that time, raising CNY 7.7 billion despite being limited to domestic investors only.
Beginning in 1978, the Chinese government began to institute economic reforms. Plans called for a large integrated steel production facility to be located near the port of Shanghai. The Baoshan District, a suburb of Shanghai, was chosen as the site and Japanese assistance was enlisted in constructing one of the most modern steel plants of the time. As the government's flagship steel company, Baoshan Iron and Steel as it was originally called, benefitted from acquiring the engineers and managers, access to technology, and receiving government contracts.
Baoshan Iron and Steel also benefitted from the Chinese economic expansion which consumed all the steel available. However, with the continuing liberalization of the Chinese economy, Baoshan found itself in competition with new rivals, both foreign and domestic. The company decided to add an export trade marketing component to remain competitive; it scored notable success in South Korea. Although hurt by the Asian financial crisis, Baoshan pushed through with a merger of other money losing state owned enterprises, though it had managed to remain profitable itself. On November 17, 1998, the former Baoshan Iron and Steel (Group) Corporation absorbed the Shanghai Metallurgical Holding Group Corporation (上海冶金控股集团公司) and the Shanghai Meishan Group Co. (上海梅山集团公司) to form Shanghai Baosteel Group Corporation. The new conglomerate was the largest steel producer in the country with annual steel production of nearly 20 million tons.
Baosteel also found partnerships with former domestic rivals in the Shougang Group and Wuhan Iron and Steel Group Corporation, entering into an alliance in 2001. In the same year Baosteel signed an agreement with ThyssenKrupp of Germany.
The company has ambitious plans for expansion, currently constructing a facility in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, at the cost of $10 billion; it is expected to come into production by the end of the decade. Baosteel also intends on launching an IPO, likely in Hong Kong, on top of its current listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
