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

Mystery Smarties
In the United States we have something called Smarties. They're little rolls of sweet and sour compressed dextrose in mild flavors. (In Canada they're called Rockets.) They've been around since 1949.
Smarties come in three sizes. The Classic roll is 7 grams (.25 ounces). The Giant roll is 28 grams (.99 ounces). The Mega roll is 63 grams (2.25 ounces). So one Mega Smartie is about 3.3 grams ... basically, two Megas are equal to a whole roll of Classic. Smarties used to come in one set of flavors, but now there are a few varieties, including Tropical and X-Treme Sour. The rolls for today's review are the Mega variety, which are the largest that Smarties makes.
The twist for the new Mystery Smarties is that they're completely mixed up rolls of all three flavor versions.
Not only are they a combination but the colors are completely mixed up and randomized, red is not always cherry, white is not always pineapple. The mystery here is that it's not a one for one swap. One time I had a cherry green one and another time I think it was a blue one (but that may have been a sour).
The roll contains 19 tablets and two tablets are about 25 calories. They're considered vegan. (The ingredients were hard to find, they're on the twisted ends of the wrapper, not with the nutritional panel, so you can't actually read the ingredients before you buy.)
Ingredients: Dextrose (Contains Maltodextrin and/or Corn Syrup Solids), Citric Acid, Calcium Stearate, Artificial Flavors, Colors (Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Blue 2 Lake).
The classic and original size Smarties have always been my favorite. I've tried the X-Treme Sour and Tropical (and Bubble Gum) but they've messed with the unique quality of the standard, teensy, powdery and barely flavored tablets.
The Mystery Smarties come in yellow, purple, blue, green, pink and orange. The colors hardly matter, as they're just to mess with you. The large tablets are smooth and soft and fit nicely in the mouth. The flavors vary widely, from intense and burning lemon to a mild and sweet pineapple. The X-Treme sour flavors were a bit too much for me in this size, I think if I were to eat them, I'd prefer the little tablets. The texture is a little crumbly and dissolves easily. They're not quite cool on the tongue, like some dextrose candies can be, but definitely not as sweet as a pure sucrose tablet would be.
I didn't enjoy the surprise of a very sour or a very cherry piece. After a while, I wouldn't even finish the flavors I didn't want. It made me long for the classics. But kids really dig this sort of thing, so give them what they want - a bit of variety and a few shocks. There are probably good lessons in there for children as well about not judging things by appearance, and maybe a more sobering one about never counting on anything.
It's a fun experiment that ultimately taught me to treasure consistency and how nice it is when expectations are met. Still, I recognize that I still have a problem with Smarties, I really can't stop eating them when they're in front of me.
Smarties are free from most allergens: no milk, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat or soy. They are vegan (calcium stearate is plant based) but do feature many unnatural ingredients including the artificial colorings.

Haribo Maoam Fruit Chews
Haribo Maoam have been around for a long time. The early history is a bit murky, but according to Haribo, Edmund Munster (not this one), who ran the Düsseldorfer Lakritzenwerk (Dusseldorf Licorice Works) bought the license for the chewy, fruity candy Maoam and began making it in Germany.
It was packaged as a penny candy, an impulse item with bold, colorful wax paper wrappings in popular flavors like Lemon, Strawberry, Pineapple, Orange and Raspberry. In 1986 Haribo bought the Edmund Münster company and began making the already iconic Maoam fruit chews.
After 80 years on the market, Maoam sweets are found in a variety of formats and features packaging designed to appeal to children (though plenty of adults are fans). They're sold around the world. The most common packages are probably the Maoam Minis which is a long package that looks like a bar but is actually five different packets of individual flavors. The current flavor set includes: Cola, Orange, Lemon, Apple, Cherry and Raspberry.
One of the funnest parts of Maoam sweets is how outrage pops up every once in a while about the supposedly suggestive characters on the packages.
There's a lot of packaging in a Maoam packet. Each piece is individually wrapped, then packaged together in a little stack of five for each flavor, then another cellophane over-wrap. This leaves plenty of evidence that you've been eating candy (though the wax papers are mercifully quieter than the cellophane).
Orange They are small, about the same mass as a Starburst. Though the packages are colored, the candies themselves are only lightly tinted. The chew is soft and bouncy. I'd call it a cross between Starburst and HiCHEW. They're even a little creamy. The orange is a bit like a Creamsicle. It's a soft orange flavor, not overly zesty, more on the juice side of flavor with a nice zap of tang to it.
Cola is glorious. I would marry these. It's kind of weird once they're unwrapped because the candies are white (remember Pepsi Clear?). The flavor is great, it's a little nutty, creamy but with a snap of lime and that cola flavor. There's tartness to it and even a feeling of effervescence since there are little tangy spots that give a little jolt of flavor while chewing.
Lemon is tart and smooth without much lemon peel essence to it. They're quite tasty and have just a hint of a yogurt note to them.
Cherry is a really interesting flavor. It's different from American black cherry (like Life Savers). It's dark and woodsy, but also quite tangy and has a little bit of a caustic medicinal flavor to me. There's no coloring in it, so I can't complain about that weird aftertaste I get so often.
Raspberry is very fragrant and nuanced. All the notes are there: the perfume, the seeds and the boiled jam.
Maoam sweets come in a bunch of different formats and a few other flavors that I didn't cover with the minis.
I picked up this bag of Haribo Maoam Mixx which features a variety of little individually wrapped items. The main character on the front of the package is the Maoam mascot, a big green blob with a hat and riding a bicycle. (He's the one who cavorts with the fruits on the packages. His character was introduced in 2002.
This bag cost 2 Euros and holds 400 grams (a little over 14 ounces). There's a lot of variety.
Stripes are little flat taffy, 7 gram pieces. In this package I got a Green Apple version which wasn't in the little block pack. The flavor is quite American at first, rather artificial, but after the tartness fades away, there's a realistic apple peel/juice flavor that dominates. I also found a few Strawberry in this shape. They even had little pink flecks in them which tasted just like little bits of dried strawberry. A very realistic flavor and long lasting, smooth chew.
ChewTwo was another version of the Stripes that's packaged in clear plastic to see that there are two flavors side by side. In this instance they were colored (or else it wouldn't be very impressive looking to have two slightly different versions of not white).
Joystixx are long pieces, kind of like the Tootsie Roll Sticks. They're probably double the mass of the little squares. In this form, they're easy to bite, or take two different flavors and twist them together for a combo.
Pinballs are more than just a shape change. These are slightly fluffier balls of the chewy then coated in a candy shell. Think of them like an easier-to-chew fruit Mentos or giant fluffy Skittle. The flavor was interesting also because the candy shell had little crystals inside, mostly sugar but occasionally a zap of tart flavor. I could have sworn a few of the yellow ones were pineapple, not Lemon. In some cases the candy shell made them sweeter, and of course grainier. I enjoyed the variation in the texture with the shell, but not the graininess.
There were also individually twist wrapped pieces, I think they're called Happy Fruttis.
I had no idea that Maoam were so good. I've seen them a few times before, and tried a few Pinballs but didn't realize that the regular chews were so flavorful. They are different from other candies in this category too. They're a softer chew than Starburst or Mamba and not quite as bouncy or smooth as HiCHEW. Also, if you're a parent looking for a candy without artificial colors, this is a good kid-friendly option. (Though they're not exactly all natural.) They do contain gelatin, so they're not appropriate for vegetarians and those who keep Kosher/Halal.

Sour Patch Kids Berries
Cadbury Adams, makers of Swedish Fish and Sour Patch Kids have introduced a new product to their line of jelly candies. Sour Patch Kids Berries are a variety of four berry flavors of the classic chewy jelly candy covered in sour sand.
There's no mention of this product on the Sour Patch Kids website, and the package is rather scant with details as well. There are four colors for the candies, but there's no mention of the flavors. I think they're: Cherry, Blue Raspberry, Strawberry and Grape.
The regular Sour Patch Kids come in four flavors: orange, cherry, lemon and lime. The Sour Patch Fruits come in watermelon, orange, lemon, lime, grape and cherry. Then there are the individual flavor packs like Watermelon, Peach and Cherry. It seems like cherry gets a lot of attention from the Sour Patch family, here it is in three different assortments plus a package all of its own.
Sour Patch Kids are a simple construction, a firm jelly candy is molded and then coated in a sweet & sour sand. They're small, so one is a good bite.
Grape (Purple) is a great sour flavor. This grape is just like a jelly version of Pixy Stix or SweeTarts. There's a lot of fake grape flavor to go along with the sour.
Cherry (Red) is as I expected, tart and sharp with the strong woodsy notes then sweet and a little on the medicine side, especially as the food coloring kicked in.
Strawberry (Pink) this was the flavor I wasn't quite sure about. It's soft and floral and more delicate than the others, perhaps even a little citrusy.
Blue Raspberry is a well rounded flavor. It's quite tart at first then morphing into a sweet and floral berry flavor that's reminiscent of the Swedish Fish.
Here's something that's been bothering me for years. Sour Patch Kids don't look like kids. They don't look like much of anything except maybe shaving brushes. There are little characters on the package, but I've never quite been able to make them out. Jelly Babies manage to look like their little characters on the package, so I know the molding technology allows this. Even Swedish Fish do an excellent job of looking like little fish.
It's interesting to see a new mix of flavors for the Sour Patch Kids, even if the actual flavors are not new. There's nothing earth shattering here or innovative, just a limited mix that might appeal to folks who don't like the citrus flavors in the regular Sour Patch Kids or Sour Patch Fruits.

Gimbal's Sour Lovers
Gimbal's is a Californian candy company that specializes in sugar candies and boasts a low allergen facility. Lately they've been introducing a new themed-flavored "Lovers" product every year. The first year it was a heart shaped Cherry Lovers, with nine different cherry flavored heart shaped jelly beans. Last year it was Honey Lovers with sixteen different honey tinted flavors. This year it's its a bit of a tart twist with Gimbal's Sour Lovers.
When I first saw the announcement for them, I knew I had to track them down. I had trouble finding Honey Lovers in stores, so I decided to order Sour Lovers online and avoid the store-to-store hassle. I was fortunate to find them featured in a special at CandyDirect.com where they were $7.00 for two 11 ounce bags including shipping. (Little did I realize that the actual shipping, from the San Diego area to Los Angeles would take 12 days, with little communication from the company about the delay.)
The package includes twelve flavors of tart jelly candies with a sour sand coating. The flavors are: Pomegranate, Fuji Apple, Grapefruit, Watermelon, Meyer Lemon, Tangerine, Baja Margarita, Sour Blueberry, Mango, Bing Cherry, Strawberry Daiquiri and Georgia Peach. I'm kind of particular about my sour candy, because I like a lot of intense flavor with the tartness, so these really sounded tantalizing to me.
The heart shapes aren't as defined or quite as attractive as the Cherry or Honey Lovers, but I thought the size and shape, a sort of thick heart shape, was perfect. The sanding is light to keep them from sticking together, but I found that even in the low humidity of Los Angeles, they did get a bit tacky if they weren't stored in a sealed bag.
I had trouble telling the colors apart. Since I had two bags, I mixed them up in order to find all of the colors/flavors. I have to say that the guide on the back wasn't exactly helpful for the colors that had a few flavors associated with them, like the orange/peach, pink/light red/red and yellows.
Pomegranate - I found it difficult to identify this one, so I had to open both bags in order to find the slightly darker red Pomegranate. It has some floral notes that reminded me of raspberry but with more of a tannic bite. It's missing some of the notes of actual pomegranate juice but still has a distinctive flavor unlike the rest of the pieces in the mix.
Fuji Apple - goes beyond the normal green apple flavor with actual real apple juice and peel flavors in there along with the fake green notes that we come to expect from candy.
Grapefruit - I could eat a bag of these. If they make another Lovers mix, I would pay a premium for it to be a Citrus Lovers. This had an amazing intensity, all of the notes a real grapefruit has from the juicy tartness, zest, sweetness and then that lingering bitterness.
Watermelon - Gimbal's does a great job with flavors that I often find too artificial from other companies. This watermelon was definitely a little on the "candy" side of things, but really flavorful, floral and of course puckery.
Meyer Lemon - again, get me a bag of these. Meyer Lemons have a bit more of a mandarin flavor to them than the usual Eureka lemons, so they're the perfect combo of tartness and juicy citrus flavors that do more than burn. (I actually drink Meyer Lemon juice from my back yard tree in a little mineral water - no sugar needed.)
Tangerine - this one sizzles with sour orange, it's actually a bit more sour than the Meyer Lemon, and also not as zesty.
Baja Margarita - this take on the traditional sour lime really pops, it's zesty but not all about the sour and I might have even tasted a little hint of salt on it.
Sour Blueberry - this one wasn't quite blueberry, but I've been binging on the real thing. It was more like a sour raspberry, which you know, is also good.
Mango - I had trouble finding this one in the mix as well, and sometimes didn't know if it was Peach (which is an opaque one). I really can't say more than I'm not sure I ever ate one.
Bing Cherry - the bing cherry heart isn't that dark in color, but does have a strong, woodsy flavor like a Life Saver but with far more intensity and tang.
Strawberry Daiquiri this was lovely, though maybe a little too sour, which covers up the great flavors. The floral notes were overshadowed by the citrus, but it's a daiquiri flavor, so I suppose that's to be expected.
Georgia Peach - I'm not usually fond of peach flavored candies, but this one has it all, actual fuzz flavor, a zing of sour and the sweet juiciness. It's like a peach that's not quite ripe. It has the added benefit of going well with the other flavors (except maybe watermelon).
The candies also have vitamin C in them as well as being made in a facility that's gluten free, dairy free, soy free, peanut & tree nut free. They're made with natural flavors and apple juice, but there are also artificial flavors and colors, too. As a true jelly product there are no fats or gelatin in them either (so they're basically a vegan product since there's no confectioners glaze or beeswax on them like the hard shell jelly bean versions).
I loved this mix. They're zippy but have more well rounded flavors that will please adults. I can't eat too many without burning my tongue, but then again, the intensity is really satisfying so I don't usually want to eat more than five or six at once.
Full Disclosure: It's come to my attention that I did not mention when I first posted this review that CandyDirect.com was an advertiser on Candy Blog. We no longer have any sort of business relationship. I made no attempts to hide my identity in the ordering process, though I can assure folks that I received no special treatment one way or the other in the price, shipping, handling or communication process. This post is not a review of CandyDirect.com, I only made passing mention of my experience with the company in the procurement of this candy because I always mention where I get my candy from. (I did subsequently get a free sample of the Sour Lovers from the National Confectioners Association after this review was posted and I ended up giving that bag away unopened.)

Dots Sour Slices - Pink Grapefruit
It's funny that I first found out about the new Dots Pink Grapefruit Sour Slices in Germany instead of right here in the United States. I was cruising by the American Pavillion at the ISM Cologne candy fair and spotted them right away on display as a new item. And of course the fact that they were grapefruit really made them stand out.
Tootsie has really expanded their Dots over the past five years with more than just new flavor assortments like Tropical and Yogurt. They also make seasonal varieties for Christmas, Valentines and even an Independence Day version. What's interesting about these Dots, aside from the fact that they're sour and sanded instead of smooth is that they're also a single flavor.
The Dots are made of two colors, to mimic the layering of colors on a wedge of pink grapefruit. The base is supposed to be yellow and the top is pink. Though the package calls them Sour Slices, they're the same gumdrop shape we're all used to. They smell soft and sweet and were fresh and bouncy.
The outside coating is sweet and sour though lacking much in the way of other flavors. But the gumdrop center is all about grapefruit flavor. There's a good, well rounded grapefruit zest base, a hint of bitterness and a long, sweet finish to it. The citrus oils linger with a satisfying ring.
I was hoping for a little bit more pop, but then again I found it easy to eat a few handfuls (the Sour Dots were just a little too zingy for me to do that and I only liked three of the five flavors). I'm really looking forward to seeing these on shelves at stores around here. I loved the Grapefruit Dots in the Tropical Mix, now I can buy the single flavor. I know they're already available online, so some shops may already have them. They also come as Watermelon Sour Slices and Peach Sour Slices.
Dots are made in a peanut free facility and are also free of traces of tree nuts, eggs and gluten. Kosher and I'm guessing they'd qualify as vegan, too (all artificial colors & no beeswax).

Judson-Atkinson Tropical Sours
Judson-Atkinson Candies has been making fruit sours for decades along with other jelly bean type confections. They're known most for the Cherry Sour but they also have a few other flavors.
The Judson-Atkinson Candies Tropical Sours are called the original soft center sour. They're kind of like giant sour jelly beans, each is about the size of a hazelnut in the shell.
This theater box holds 4.5 ounces. Like many of Judson-Atkinson's other candies, the packaging isn't exactly compelling, but it's at least easy to spot.
White is Pina Colada. It starts out with a light sweet coconut flavor, once I cracked the grainy candy shell I got a little burst of floral and lightly tangy pineapple. It's not a sour candy at all, but it's still like a great, mellow gourmet jelly bean.
Pink is watermelon. I don't consider it to be a tropical flavor and it certainly wasn't a sour flavor either. It was sweet and about as powerfully flavored as real watermelon is. I wasn't disappointed that there were only five of these in the box.
Orange is some sort of tropical fruit like Mango. It's hard to tell without a guide, but there was a peachy note to it and a light tangy flavor as well with some woodsy elements that remind me of mangoes.
Yellow is a mystery. It's tart but not overly so, it's not citrus flavor as far as I can tell and not pineapple. It was pleasant but not vibrant enough to go in a package called Sours.
Red is Fruit Punch and is quite a refreshing sort of berry flavor. I liked it, it was tart without the tangy notes completely blasting away the red raspberry flavors.
All of the flavors were nice enough but none qualified for a the category of Sour. They were barely on the range of "hint of tangy". As giant jelly beans in tropical flavors, they're decent enough. I paid far too much for these. I see the regular boxes of Sours at the drug store for a buck which I think is quite fair for pure sugar candy made in the States.
The candies aren't marked Kosher and is tree nut free (though is processed in a facility that utilizes milk, soy and peanuts). There's no gluten statement and they're not vegetarian/vegan because of the presence of carmine.

Jolly Rancher Awesome Twosome Chews
This is an early review of an upcoming product: Jolly Rancher Awesome Twosome Chews that should hit store shelves in December 2010.
About five years ago Twizzlers, a Hershey's company, introduced Twerpz (original review). They were cute little nibs of flavored "licorice" that had a grainy and flavored cream filling. They were around for about three years then slowly faded away. Twizzlers introduced a few similar products such as the Twizzlers Sweet & Sour Filled Twists, but didn't relaunch the Twerpz line. In a completely unrelated area, Hershey's had a line of chocolate bar "Awesome Twosome" brand mashups around the same time. They were regular Hershey's Milk Chocolate bars with bits of other bars mixed in, like Whoppers, Heath, Almond Joy and Reese's Pieces.
So it appears that this new product, now under the Jolly Rancher brand is taking over the Twizzlers Twerpz product, but giving it a little twist by combing two flavors in each piece (that's the Twosome part).
The flavors of the Awesome Twosome Chews are standards in the Jolly Rancher palette. One is Watermelon on the outside and has a Green Apple filling. The other is Cherry on the outside and has an Orange filling. Each has a sour grainy dusting.
The Watermelon/Green Apple is kind of fun because it's a reverse of the colors of an actual watermelon. That's about where the fun for me ended. The package itself smells rather plastic and artificial, like bubble gum, wood glue and one of those discount movie palaces that always smells a little damp. They're soft and chewy and the sour coating isn't that powerful, just a nice zap.
The tube of watermelon licorice is well flavored, in the Jolly Rancher arena, which is good if you like that sort of thing. The green apple inside goes pretty well, but again, horribly artificial and acidic in a way that reminds me of burps.
The Cherry/Orange was at least made up of one flavor that I generally like. The cherry chew part was very flavorful, but sadly it was a very bad flavor. The use of food coloring and one note of medicinal cherry kept me from enjoying it at all. There were only four of these in my bag, so I didn't get a lot to try. The paste filling was an interesting texture but in the case of the orange one, far too mild and like Tang instead of a well rounded zesty orange to stand up to the cherry.
The aftertaste was like I'd chewed on PlayDoh for a while and then swallowed Country Time Lemonade drink mix. However, I know that there are folks who are really looking forward to these. I like the concept but the texture, flavors and general execution just doesn't fit my style.

US forces to fight Boko Haram in Nigeria

The Obama regime is now involving US military forces in yet another African conflict in which the US has no apparent defense imperative. The use of military power has seen a relentless increase across the continent under Obama's reign with no consideration for pursuit of conflict resolution by any other means.
The single minded focus on military dominance is reflected in this recent bizarre report in the Nigerian Village Square:
In very strong terms the US government is speaking out against Nigeria's government's efforts at negotiating with Boko Haram, insisting that it might be impossible for the federal government to convince Boko Haram to end their violence, which the Americans consider as "absolutely unjustifiable," because many of such terror groups are "absolutely unreconcilable," [sic] according to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. […]
According to her, terror groups like Boko Haram "cannot be convinced to end their violence and participate in society," stressing that there is no set or principles or beliefs that can justify taking the lives of innocent people.
One is left to wonder how it is that US military force, which does take the lives of countless innocent people, is justified on so many foreign continents and so ceaselessly. Perhaps in Clinton's warped view US drone attacks and special operations raids don't illicit terror in their victims.
The BBC report on the current situation is less shrill, in fact, it makes the point that the insertion of foreign forces could very well be destabilizing for Nigeria:
Many now believe that the heavy military presence in Borno and neighbouring states is the biggest single factor hindering any chance of a negotiated settlement and peace.
Abubakar Kari, a political scientist from the University of Abuja, says he believes Nigeria is still feeling the consequences of the government's attempt to destroy the group in 2009.
Boko Haram's headquarters in Borno state capital Maiduguri was destroyed and their founder and leader Muhammad Yusuf captured and then killed in custody.
Hundreds of members of the group died and ever since it has been attacking government targets in retaliation.
"The rise of Boko Haram is largely as a result of incompetence, lack of foresight and insensitivity from the Nigerian state," Mr Kari said. […]
Respected human rights activist Shehu Sani was involved in the first attempt to talk with Boko Haram.
He organized a meeting in September between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Boko Haram members…
"Boko Haram said they wanted their leaders who have been kept in captivity to be released," he said, "And they want justice done for their members that were killed and they also want the military to withdraw from Maiduguri."
Mr Sani said that they had made it clear that they were not fighting for an Islamic state, ruled by Sharia law but because of what they see as the injustice that has been done to them.
For those hoping for a negotiated solution, that will come as a relief.
The mediation stalled when one of Boko Haram's interlocutors was killed shortly after the meeting, but Mr Sani remains optimistic that given the right attitude from the government they could restart.
Opposition parties and in particular those in the north, such as the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), say the government is underestimating the amount of support Boko Haram has among the population. […]
Congress for Progressive Change national secretary Bubu Galadima said many people in the north felt marginalized and excluded from wealth and opportunity.
The resistance group's leader, Muhammad Yusuf, who was murdered while in government custody had been widely ridiculed in the Western media as having claimed that the "earth is flat". In fact, he had merely stated that if the Koran said that the earth was flat he would have faith in its teaching, a rhetorical point meant to stress his faith.
Boko Haram translates* from Hausa/Fulani as 'no Western education'. Nigerian authorities have in the past referred to the movement as 'Taliban' in much the same way that U.S. military spokespersons use the term 'al-Qaida' to label any resistance fighters:
"The deputy leader of the Taliban by the name Abubakar Shekau was in the early hours of today killed along with 200 followers by Nigerian troops," a police officer told the AFP news agency.
An AP report on the military assault describes tactics developed by the Israeli occupation forces in Palestine such as home invasion searches, demolition of homes and mosques with bulldozers, executions, mass displacement of civilian populations and indiscriminate firing at non-combatants.
Looking beyond the recent reporting by the AFP and AP one finds that it was reported in 2009 that an expulsion effort had been undertaken against Hausa/Fulani pastoralists by state officials seeking to deport "nomads [that] did not obtain official permission to settle down". However, Nigerian law does not require residency permits and nomadic pastoralism has existed in the region for centuries. Nonetheless deportation actions were taken:
"… a combined team from the Nigerian Army, the Nigerian Police Force, and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) stormed the affected five villages, purportedly "acting on orders from above", to identify and deport all aliens who had settled down in the area. All the aliens in question happened to be Fulani herdsmen and under heavy security supervision, they were deported to the neighbouring states of Bauchi, Gombe, Katsina, and Jigawa."
Described as "aliens", the state Government "deported" the Fulanis to neighboring states which means there was no doubt about their Nigerian citizenship. The state action violated the constitutional rights of the pastoralists who are guaranteed freedom of movement within Nigeria. The 2009 report goes on to state:
"to descend on innocent people, with a combined team of security operatives in three armoured tanks and 15 trucks, simply because these are Fulani herdsmen who arrived in trucks and not on foot as their kind is wont to do, lays the state government open to charges of ethnic cleansing."
An older report from a committee of Sahel region governments sheds some light on the possible motives of the state:
"These populations represent a heavy social, economic and political drain for their countries… They don't take care of anything, refuse to do manual labor, evade taxes, sell their animals only reluctantly, and therefore do not contribute as much to the economic life of the country as we have a right to expect…" (1)
The problem in Nigeria seems to be that the unwanted Fulanis are difficult to tax and don't participate in the market economy.
(1) Comite Information Sahel, Qui se nourrit de la famine en Afrique? (Paris: Maspero, 1974) p. 162.
They couldn't pinpoint the members of the Boko Haram sect, so they rounded up innocent civilians in the Gwange ward of Maiduguri and took them to the barracks, the Nigerian police beat them with service sticks, rods and koboko.
One of the leaders of boko haram killed in Maiduguri police headquarters by Nigerian police after capture.
* Update:
'Boko Haram' doesn't really mean 'Western education is a sin'
By Dan Murphy | Christian Science Monitor | May 6, 2014
What's the real meaning of "Boko Haram?" I've been wondering about this recently since news articles are constantly informing me (including ones on this website) that it means "Western education is a sin."
I was surprised that Nigeria's Hausa language, spoken by the mostly Muslim group that is dominant in the northern half of the country, would have a four letter word that meant "western education." Haram has always been obvious – a borrowed word from Arabic that refers to things that are forbidden in Islam (as opposed to things that are halal, or permitted).
I wondered if it was an acronym, or a mash-up of two other words. So I started looking around and struck gold with a paper by Paul Newman, professor emeritus in linguistics at Indiana University and one of the world's leading authorities on the Hausa language.
It turns out the Hausa language doesn't have a four-letter word that means "Western education." It isn't a mash-up or an acronym. What it has is a word that came to be applied to a century-old British colonial education policy that many Hausa-speakers saw as an attempt, more-or-less, to colonize their minds.
First, some information needs to be dispensed with. The word is often described as being borrowed from the English word "book." Not so, as Dr. Newman's work makes clear.
Starting in 2009, Wikipedia's article on the Hausa "Boko alphabet" incorrectly asserted that the word derived from "book." […]
Newman writes about the history of the word's use in this context:
The correct answer was implicitly presented by Liman Muhammad, a Hausa scholar from northern Nigeria, some 45 years ago. In his study of neologisms and lexical enrichment in Hausa, Muhammad (pp. 8-10) gives a list of somewhat over 200 loanwords borrowed from English into Hausa in the area of "Western Education and Culture". Significantly, boko is not included. Rather one finds boko in his category for western concepts expressed in Hausa by SEMANTIC EXTENSION of pre-existent Hausa words.
According to Muhammad, boko originally meant "Something (an idea or object) that involves a fraud or any form of deception" … Read full article

I found your site when I googled the assassination of the indigenous Guarani leader in Brazil. If the African leaders didn't want help dealing with rebels committing atrocities and war crimes I'm sure Obama would not have sent forces to Africa.

How the occupied mentality syndrome works
Saudi Arabia on the American chessboard – Part 3
By B. J. Sabri | American Herald Tribune | June 27, 2016
Previously I argued whether Saudi Arabia's repeated involvements in U.S. interventions and wars stem from free national will or in response to a specific condition. For starters, in Saudi Arabia there is no national will. In Saudi Arabia, the national will is the will of the Al Saud clan. Still, when a major Arab state allies itself with a superpower that committed unspeakable crimes against humanity in almost every Arab country, then something is wrong. This fact alone should compel us to examine the U.S.-Saudi relation for one exceptional reason. As a result of the U.S.-Saudi wars, hundreds of thousands of people in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia have lost their lives. Millions became displaced in their own homelands. And millions more rendered refugees.
Attributing the Saudi policies to the bonds of "partnership" with the U.S. is frivolous. There are no bonds between these two thugs except those of business, military deals, secret plots, and wars. Proving this point, bonds such as these have no space for the American and Saudi peoples to share significant cultural or societal exchanges. If partnership is not the reason for the Saudi contribution to the U.S. strategy of empire and imperialism, then another reason must exist.
This leads to three possibilities. (1) The Saudis are exercising their supreme national rights to do whatever they want. Or, (2), they are responding to inducement. Or, (3), they are complying with applied pressure. While the first possibility cannot be taken seriously, the remaining two possibilities are plausible. This means the Saudi participation in the U.S. wars—by proxy and directly—must have origins in factors other than the fluid concepts of alliance and partnership. … continue

Hi there,
I have a fresh install of WordPress with Multisite enabled. Right after installing and network activating Better WP Security, I went to create a database backup from the plugin's dashboard - however, I get this error message:
"Fatal error: Call to a member function execute_backup() on a non-object in /domain.com/wp-content/plugins/better-wp-security/inc/admin/process.php on line 113"
The same error comes up if I go to the Backup tab and try to create one from there. I'm puzzled because I had used this on a Multisite before with no problem.

It's often really sunny, and most of the time it's going to be either warm, or very hot. It gets tiring to walk to classes in the heat, but there's little chance of having to walk around during heavy rains, which is good. Overall, the heat can make it a little exhausting, but it's super nice in general.
It really depends what kind of transportation you are taking. Driving sucks, avoid it if at all possible! The parking lots are over priced and if your first class is at 12pm, good luck finding a spot that isn't 2 miles away from campus. Although there are places around Mill that are either free or will give you an hourly ticket, but leave at around 9pm, meaning you just have to wait them out, which isn't a problem if you have a late evening class.The Phoenix bus system is old, and they don't have the most reliable schedule at times. I prefer the Tempe Orbit system, which is smaller, but free and easy to use. Also the Metro Light Rail is a great way to get from the down town campus to central campus. Biking is a really convenient option if you live close to campus. Tempe is a pretty bike friendly city with plenty of bike lock ups and paths.For security, ASU does offer a pick up student for those that live close to campus and had a late night at the library, sorority function, ect.
Job employment at ASU has lots to do with social interaction. Keeping connected with key people allows someone to socially connect to opportunities from a wider audience view . Keeping your own private job reference base is a good play on your network friendliness.
My career strengths are creation, whether in collaboration with another, or independent self paced workflows. There is a means of structure that many play on the fields with and most attempt to imitate to better their means. I want to become a director, and producer. Possibly after many, many jobs relevant to the major companies in Hollywood, California.
I'm through to the stage in my adult life where I want to receive higher education, and in the timeframe I am allowed for career building I'd like to intern somewhere relevant to the field I am currently earning a degree in. Things relevant to production, and media; as well as future security development.
The program had interesting discussions and review for the content, they followed study topics pretty closely. The program was full paced and adequate for even a hungry intellect. You can study the various topics.
I think the campus can be pretty strict. You can drink a lot at the apartments and not get caught. I think the dorms are a lot more strict though. Also, in Arizona, the punishment for underage drinking is an MIC (MInor In Consumption), which goes on your criminal record. On the East Coast, when cops break up a party they just make you pour out everything and tell everyone to go home. Not in Arizona. An MIC goes on your record and stays with you for life. Just for underage drinking. Ridiculous.
The computers are okay, can be pretty slow, especially if you're trying to print things in a rush.
The weather is usually hot 8 months of the year, and the other 4 months are a lot cooler.
Health & Safety:
The school a lot of security on campus, whether it is police officers to late night guards.
There are plenty of bus routes nearby, traffic for parking on campus could be much worse, and the light rail is very convenient-- there are 2 stops on campus, and there is a special U-pass for ASU students that is $150 for a whole year, which is a significant discount from what a student would pay buying an all-day light rail pass each day.
The fact that my campus is in Downtown Phoenix makes it hard to get away with anything. There are constantly police officers driving around the dorms, there are police officers on bikes and that walk around the campus. In the dorms there is security and you have to use your ID to get into the building and to activate the elevators. The CA's on duty in the dorms are also strict. If you get caught drinking its a write up and a meeting with the dean. If you get caught with any illegal drugs they call the police on you and search your room. The police also go inside the building and do daily rounds where they walk around the halls.
Guys & Girls:
The students at ASU vary from race, size and sexual orientation. ASU is like a melting pot of diversity. I go to the downtown campus and there are a lot more older students versus younger, The boys vary from being extremely intelligent to being hippie loving men. Most of the girls are brunette and petite.
Greek Life:
Good if you are into the Greek Life which I was as an undergraduate but not for my LL.M. program.
A decent amount of financial aid was given to me as an instate student
Local Area:
The downtown campus is much much smaller than the tempe campus
Campus Quality:
The gym is amazing and everyone uses it to a full extent.
Campus Quality:
My school's nursing program is very difficult to stay it, but well worth the challenge
Party Scene:
If you are over 21 the bars on Mill ave are almost a good time every weekend. There are not many options for under 21 students though.
WP Carey School of business is why I came to ASU because they have one of the top business programs in the nation. The professors have great knowledge of the subject they teach and a willing to pass that along to you. The workload can be a little overwhelming at times.
Printing is free, but the wireless internet does not work at times.
Health & Safety:
There have been a couple incidents such as late night thefts when walking alone at night. Just be careful when it gets dark, be alert.
The Campus police are very strict but if you keep yourself out of bad situations then it is very easy to get along with them.
I'm an Accounting major at Arizona State University and I love it there. The professors and guidance counselors have been great and really care about what they are teaching. I've been able to start a networking with fellow students and even with instructors.
Campus Quality:
ASU has a huge variety of programs and opportunities, and it keeps on getting bigger. They have all kinds of flexible jobs that can work with each students unique schedule. Hundreds of clubs and you can make your own if you cannot find one of your liking. And parties all the time everywhere. Even during finals so you can relieve your stress. They also bring in puppies from animal shelters to reduce student stress. ASU really cares for their students.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Arizona State is like no other university in the country. With a large, vibrant, and exciting student body that truly makes the campus unique, there is no arguing that ASU is by any means a boring place to be for the next four years of your life. As soon as you step onto ASU's campus, you will feel the immense amount of positive and exciting energy that gives you sense of belonging. Even though there are so many students around campus, you will be sure to find a niche to call your own. College is the time to find yourself and truly learn who you are as you prepare for the real world. ASU provides the perfect environment to challenge you to make "adult" decisions, and you won't always, but by the end of it all, you will mature into a dedicated individual!
Even though students will struggle with all-nighters, sports practice, parking tickets, and trying to recover from a great night, many of them couldn't ask for anything else. There will be times that you are drowning in homework and studying, but by the end of it all, you will look back and laugh. Your peers help you get through the tough times and make those social outings even more fun. ASU knows how to party hard, but when it comes to crunch time, we pull it off well. The kids here know how to have a great time, the nightlife and social settings are extremely fun, the academics are quite challenging—especially when you apply yourself and take it seriously—but most importantly, students will leave prepared for post-graduation and taking on the world. ASU is a fantastic place to meet new people and a great way to experience life in the great southwest. But don't take my word for it—come on out and experience it for yourself!

Roundabouts are popping up everywhere, they can be safe if you know how to use them of course.
Some drivers, however, aren't too sure about getting around a roundabout.
For one, what's the speed limit?
Some roundabouts post their speed limits, others don't, and if you're confused, Kate Porras from the Grand Junction Police Department says play it safe, "Drive the speed that allows you to negotiate that curve," she says, "Without going over the road's posted speed limit."
If you happened to miss your turn, keep going around because you won't get a violation for driving in a complete circle.
An insurance institute for highway study looked at about a quarter of the roundabouts in Colorado before and after they were put in.
They found crashes were reduced by more than a third.

In spetember I had to talk to them and explained one more time they don't have my address right, they changed it again, a girl named Carrie ext. 7277 and she adjusted my account for the late fees....2 months passed I did not receive a statement again I call them and they tell me it was my obligation to remember and because I did not sent a payment I'm in deliquency statuts, and they will no wave any more late fees.
My balance is not big at all, and I am talking about $40.00 in what I think is fraudulent fees, after speaking to them they make you feel helpless like if you are asking for somenthing so big, a girl named Lisa in the collection department (they don't give last names or extension #) even put words on mu mouth by saying "I was refusing to make payment" she even wrote it down on my account when what I was trying to do was to make the appropiate payment with out the late fees, then I ask to speak to a supervisor and I talk Jeanny (no last name ) and she refused to take those late fees out, because according to her they don't have a returned address for my account.
I really don't know why they use their position to steal from the consumer and that is what I told her.....
My case is probably not big at all, but the feeling is the same as if I was ripped off somenthing more, I think what they take away with their attitude is your faith and how can easily take away from you your money. I have been late before and when is my mistake I pay i am not trying to get out of a responsibility
I hope some one hears me because this is so unfair.
thank you

Proposition 114 - Prohibits crime victims from being subject to a claim for damages for causing death or injury
Victims rights is something we can all agree on, right? Well, maybe not:
"Obviously, I don't think anybody committing a crime should be able to sue their victim." However, Campbell said that the broad wording of the measure could lead to situations where civil immunity would be granted to a person who shoots an alleged criminal in the back
Home-girl makes a good point. Vote no for new laws that may have unintended consequences. Let's do that more often, America.
Proposition 115 - Relating to the modification of the Appellate and Trial Court Commissions
I don't understand this, and neither do you. This is a great time to bring up the prime directive of proposition voting: If you don't understand it, vote no. If everyone did this, there'd be much fewer problems.
Proposition 116 - Give tax break to business with newly acquired equipment
Newly acquired equipment sounds a lot like capital expenditures, which are deductible on federal taxes. This law applies to local property taxes. Is that double dipping, perhaps, but vote yes anyway. Let's encourage businesses to buy more equipment.
|Only property owners can vote, right?
Proposition 117 - Limit annual growth in limited property value of locally assessed properties
I own property (which is why I'm allowed to vote,) so this one hits home. Some say we're on the verge of another real estate bubble caused by investors buying up foreclosed properties for rentals. I assume this proposition would limit how much Charles 'Hos' Hoskins can raise my property taxes each year. The opposition doesn't really have a good argument, they just be hating. Forget the haters, vote yes.
Proposition 118 - Yearly Permanent Fund distribution be 2.5% of monthly market values of the fund from 5 previous years
Good lord, what? I don't understand this at all. Vote no.
Proposition 119 - Lets legislature to enact a process to exchange trust land if related to protecting military installations
USA! USA! USA! Vote yes.
Proposition 120 - Would declare state sovereignty over state natural resources based on the argument of "equal footing"
This sneaky prop is a vehicle for a State vs Feds battle royale. Arizona is asserting it's ownership of lands despite concerns of the Clean Air Act, Endangered Species, Clean Water Act, and other scary words. Get ready for hippies with lawyers in full rage mode if this one passes. Vote yes for maximum entertainment.
Proposition 121 - Implement a top-two style open primary system
Arizona is a very Republican state. Often the real election is the Republican primary and the General election is a formality. This proposition would basically push Democrats out of the whole contest. While that sounds fun, it's probably a bad idea. Vote no.
Proposition 204 - Would renew the sales tax increase approved in 2010
Renew might be the wrong word here. This measure actually makes the tax increase permanent. There's a soft rule in politics, no new tax ever goes away. I hate soft rules. Prove it wrong, and vote no.

If you made it this far into the post, you're doing better than me. I stopped reading after the second proposition.
Disclaimer, I barely researched any of this, and I'm marginally educated. That said, I'm printing this out and bringing it to the polls, and so should you. Ctrl-P for the win!
