As an ex-employee I have direct knowledge of the deceptive methods used by Auction Agency to ensnare people into a credit card trap. Their sales pitch is designed to be very deceptive and the "victim" is assured that "all you have to do is just cancel before the end of your seven day trial & there will no further obligations on your part." However, when the victim attempts to call the 800 # to cancel, the company makes it very difficult to get through and IF you do get through you will be put on hold or even hung up on.
The employees in "member services" are compensated for retaining victims thus hitting their credit card for another month at a rate of anywhere from 40 to 120 per month.
The pitch they use is: ".......and if you choose to continue after your "free" 7 day trial the service is $39.95 for only one month." This is one of the deceptions:..."for only one month". In reality the charge is $39.95 PER month. The victim is also "rolled over" into a package to help them with financing. It too is $39.95 every month. Then they will also try to "roll you over" into another package for $39.95.
The reality is this: The "come on" is $1.95 "activation" fee. But, they also add on $8 S&H for 2 packages and $1.95 for the third. So, the total INITIAL charge to the credit card is $21.85. Then, if you do not cancel within the 7 day "free" trial you are hit with a charge of $39.95 times 3 for a total charge of $119.85 PER MONTH.

My oldest son, then 26, started having issues in Feb of 08. I then spoke to the advisor to request a temporary leave of absence until I could get some things resolved. She advised me to put it in writing along with proof and I did. On March 14,2008, I lost my son. After I was able to get myself together, I informed Anthem of my loss. I was then asked to write another letter and provide his death certificate. I did! In June of 2008, I contacted the school and asked if I could return. I had only three classes left. I was told at that time that Anthem was not accepting any new or returning students. I wad told to call back in January of 09. I have done this and was informend that Anthem was still not taking any new or returning students. Now I am left to pay Sallie May, I cannot transfer credits and cannot finish my last thee classes! I was hoping to obtain my degree by now, make more money and pay off my loans. Instead, what I have is the same low paying job, no degree, no credits, no way to finish my classes and NO ANSWers!!
I should have known something was wrong when they refused to take classes or give me credit for classes that I had already taken and had credit for at Baker College. Some of the classes were not only directly the same, but some were just worded a little differently (Oral communications VS. oral and written communications) for one, as a ploy to get more money! Anthem College (High Tech Inst) has taken advantage of people who only want to better themselves!
I hope that somone closes them down before the recruit any more victims!!

SUBMITTED: Monday, March 02, 2009POSTED: Monday, March 02, 2009
Anyway --- enough of my problems! The reason I am writing you today is to suggest looking into DeVry university. Anthem started to make me a little leary when I saw their Business Managment program was no longer offered. It made me even more leary to hear their accreditation was under very heavy investigation. After I started having inconsitancies with grading and technical problems on their website, I decided to look elsewhere. I had completed 76.0 of my credits towards my BS in Business Management. DeVry accepted 53 of those credit. Yes, I lost over a 1/2 of year worth of work, but at least my degree with transfer into the ground school for my MBA.
My suggestion is, give them a call. They're not NEARLY as pushy as Anthem was. My admissions advisor was Jason Wade and the Financial Advisor I spoke with was Tyler Burgus. I had a million questions for these guys, and they made every effort to help me out and answer all of them. Serious Kudos to the DeVry staff.
I'm now starting my first class with DeVry, and I must say, their education platform is a MILLION times better than Anthem. And it WORKS!! Ha.
If you'd like to finish your degree, I'd give DeVry a call; see what they can do for you. If you decide to continue, you can apply for a deferral with SallieMae --- either pay nothing until you graduate, or pay just interest --- if approved, of course. But you're SO close to having your degree --- I wouldn't let Anthem's shady education plan deter you from getting the education you deserve!
Good luck to you, no matter what you decide to do!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

About 12 users out of 2000 on my client's site have avatars that they didn't upload. They seem to be random images, they're not present in the imported users CSV file. Beside each of them there's an upload dialog and underneath that it says 'No local avatar is set. Use the upload field to add a local avatar.' There is no way for the client to delete these images.
Where do I look in the database to do this for them - and why would random images appear as avatars in the first place? These images don't exist anywhere else on the site (which is not yet live).

Report: UNC, NCAA haven't contacted ex-con in Hairston case
UNC's star basketball player was reportedly caught driving two rentals cars this offseason, both with ties to an ex-convict. Yet the school and the NCAA haven't formally looked into the ex-con's ties to Hairston.
For better or worse (OK, all for worse), college basketball has been the stage for the Summer of P.J. UNC star junior forward P.J. Hairston is currently indefinitely suspended because of a third run-in with law enforcement back in late July.
Hairston was caught and cited for allegedly doing 93 miles per hour in a 65 MPH zone while driving a female friend's car. This citation came came just days after Hairston had all charges against him dropped related to a June 5 arrest in which he and two other men were stopped and seized after marijuana and drug paraphernalia was found in the 2013 GMC Yukon Hairston was driving.
Hairston was not the owner of the Yukon. It was rented, reportedly by a man named Haydn "Fats" Thomas, who happens to be an ex-convict. That was the second of Hairston's run-ins with the law this offseason. The first came in early May, when Hairston was stopped while reportedly driving a rented 2012 Chevy Camaro. The car was in the name of a woman who reportedly shares a mailing address with Thomas.
This kind of pattern naturally caused suspicion to float UNC's way. What was the basketball program's star player doing driving rented cars to begin with, and why was an ex-convict involved?
Tar Heels coach Roy Williams recently said he's "tired" of discussing the Hairston situation, offering no timeline on a suspension, while the North Carolina athletic director said late last week Hairston will definitely miss time for the upcoming season -- but a year-long suspension isn't in the forecast.
Star player driving rented cars tied to a man who's been behind bars. Reason for worry? Some might say yes. Reason for further investigation? Reason for North Carolina to put in a call and try to contact Thomas? Apparently not. USA Today's Eric Prisbell reported Monday that neither UNC nor the NCAA have reached out to Thomas -- via his attorney -- about his relationship with Hairston or anyone at UNC.
Neither the NCAA nor UNC has contacted Fats Thomas' attorney, Randy Griffin, about speaking with Fats.— Eric Prisbell (@EricPrisbell) August 19, 2013
PJ Hairston drove two rentals linked to Fats, whose attorney says he hasn't been contacted by NCAA or UNC about speaking with client.— Eric Prisbell (@EricPrisbell) August 19, 2013
Thomas had nine rental cars in his name ticketed on UNC's campus this year. He's denied specifically knowing Hairston, though previous reports have him being photographed with former UNC athletes before, like current Milwaukee Buck John Henson.
This news will rile up the anti-UNC folk. And it will call into question, again, the nature of the NCAA and how it operates in its investigations and doling out enforcement. On a related note, the organization recently touted its new, overhauled plan and re-adaptation -- including implementing a new staff -- for enforcement.

Email Shawn Pickens at his email address with the survey reports and the transaction numbers from the western union and money gram. Shawn stated in his letter that there might be questions as to who I am sending the money to in the Philippines and he said to say "I am sending money to a family member that is vacationing in the Philippines" and that made me want to investigate this more so I called MoneyGram to verify the 4 money orders and found out that they were all cashed for various amounts back in 2011. The women told me to either report this to my local authorities or shred the money orders.

Another 100m???
I've seen a few suggest on here recently that the owners should plunge another 100m into rebuilding the squad this summer to rejuvenate our chances.
If I was Henry and came on here reading that, I'd just be shaking my head.
Spending astronomical amounts of money is no guarantee of success. I think that's been proven by a number of clubs.
What we need to do is take a long hard look at the money we've already spent, and ask serious questions about the decision making process at our club.
We seem incapable of finding cheap, value for money jewels. No doubt they are out there, but they're all at other clubs. Even when posters on here do a post-mortem of our new signings, the only ones who rate a mention as remotely good we have shelled out for (except Bellamy - whose appearances have been way to scarce).
I don't know who our talent spotters are, who identifies our targets. But THEY need be hauled over the coals by our owners I think.
We can do far better than we have, with far less money than the silly amounts being suggested on here. We need to fix the problem at the source and stop the waste.
And at the same time, think realistically about where we are in terms of getting realistic targets. We are now 4 points from 15th in the league FFS, now level with Fulham and Norwich. Make no mistake, a bottom half finish in the league is a distinct possibility for us this year, and even if the owners did sanction another spending spree in the summer, who could we realistically attract with it as a bottom half club?
Our league form IS everything. More than anything, it dictates our potential transfer business. Cup runs do not. That's what disappoints me most going into the summer.....Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Abu £100m these days isn't such a huge sum in the world of football..
Buy 2 very good players and thats gone..
- 2 Replies to LFC_Armchair_Supporter
100 million is a lot of money. Unless you are a sheik or a Russian billionaire, you can buy much more than 2 players with it, you can actually buy 2 modest Premier League teams. Blackburn cost Venkys less than 50 million quid (actually 23 million according to Wikipedia). Even Liverpool with all its history and heritage cost FSG a mere 300 million (an equivalency of 6 good players according to Armchair).
I have to agree with Abu, if I was John Henry there is no way I would entrust another 100 million to the same people who blew away the first 100 million. The first thing to do is cut your and losses and find someone capable of fixing the problem. Granted that success will not be guaranteed under the new incumbent but with due dilligence in the recruiting process you at least give yourselves a chance.
Like Abu rightly says, throwing money at a problem does not necessarily solve it, Man City and Real are the best examples. I hate using the Mancs as an example for anything but they are running away with the title with a much inferior team to Mancini's. The likes of Wellbeck, John Evans and Rafael would not even make the City bench but with the corrrect coaching they are in a title winning team. I am in no way implying that Jose Mourinho is an inferior manager but in Pep Guardiola he has clearly met someone better than him. With the amount of money Real have spent, they should beat anyone and everyone. Rafa in his time with us operated on a shoe string budget but that did not stop him from master-minding away victories at the likes of European powerhouses Barca, Real and Inter Milan. In his 6 years at the helm we bought probably less than 5 players for over 10 million and only one over 20 million, but we consistently finished in the top 4 throughout. Suddenly we spend over 100 million and we are trailing Everton who hardly spent a dime, now why would the owners risk their money again? What if the same people take the new 100 million and buy Lee Cattermole, Darren Bent, Scott Sinclair and the Mclean kid at Sunderland?
Pappis Cisse and Demba Ba?
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Apr 10, 2012 15:22 Flag
A couple issues for me on this one:
First off I think the 100M is a bit of false starting point. It was the gross spend last summer, but net or new money put in by the owners was somewhere in the region of 30-40M. Still a significant amount, but based on revenue the club could generate. The remainder was raised from player sales.
For this coming summer I'm expecting a similar investment by the owner, or maybe a slight bit more as we can anticipate extra revenue from Europa league, extra commercial revenue, and the fact last summer also saved us a ton of money in terms of wage bill which has helped the bottom line.
I'm not also sure about the statement about not being able to find cheap good players. Yes we've spent big on some players and it could be argued spent well over the odds. However I'm not sure we over spent for Enrique, Coates, and most definitely not on Bellamy as he was on a free. I'd also argue, while some have not been impressed with him, we got what we paid for with Adam, a decent squad player who was far from expensive.
The ones we have spent big on have been young and British; Carroll and Henderson. Carroll obviously is the lightening rod because of the high price tag. Personally I think it's still too early to say a 22 year old on a long term contract cannot return value, but understand others have a different opinion. But even if he does not work out, does one poor buy write off the entire transfer policy?
Henderson is the other, and he was not cheap. But has he really been a flop? Again like Carroll I don't think you can write off a young (21) player on a long term contract, and just have to point out Lucas as a perfect example of why not. But I'd also say put it into context. For similar money (okay slightly less) Utd bought Jones last year, and the year before Smalling. In Henderson's first year do we think he's done any worse than either of them in their first seasons? Like Lucas Henderson should be judged over his first 2 or 3 seasons, and so far I've seen nothing to suggest he won't work out.
But the one transfer I have been disappointed in is Downing. He like Adam is a mature player, who you'd expect after a settling in period, would help improve the squad. But unlike Adam he was not cheap. Personally I think he's done better as the season has progressed, so think he's worth giving another season before final judgment, but so far he has underwhelmed.
Lastly I reject that the league finish will dictate what targets we can bring in. First off we maybe level with Fulham and Norwich (with a game in hand I might add) but why assume that is where we will end the season. Yes we could stay 8th, we could slip further, or we could move up. But I'd also argue players are motivated by where they think a club is going, not where it is. Yes the Manchester clubs, and Chelsea (even if they don't finish top 4) have an advantage in recruitment, but as a player would you rather go to Arsenal who have not won anything in years and have a reputation for not investing or go to us who maybe currently off the pace but have shown real ambition in recruiting players in order to progress, and have proven we are serious about actually putting silverware in the cabinet?

Hi Dsteer, Abu,
Firstly I think Commolli has been hauled over the coals in the last month by FSG at a meeting in Boston. Kenny and Damien now have a report to compile, and I don't think they will find it easy to do so whilst mitigating their failures. Barring an FA Cup win, and strong lge finish, the word in the US is that John Henry is primed to make a change. This lot are ruthless, mark my words, and they like young coaches.
Secondly, they won't pour in £100m in the summer. I have heard reliably, that £25m is the meximum net investment, and anything further will be self generating, with Reina being the jewel in the crown to be sold. I fully expect the likes of Carroll, Spearing, Cole, Aurelio, Wilson, Maxi, Adam, Aquilani, Darby and Pacheco all to be on the for sale list. Kuyt has also bee mooted, but I think he'll see out his contract.
We DO have an excellent youth team, and reserve side, with some real gems coming through. Sterling, Coady, Wisdom and Suso may all see game time next season. Henderson is NOT a flop, he's been let down by others around him, and has bags of potential. He will be a top top player one day, maybe not with us, but let him go, and he will develop elsewhere to make us think back to now and regret it. Coates is young, with bags of ability. It is not all doom and gloom.
I think you are wrong Steer, about who we can attract. The top talent will not come to us, and the rumours are even going round about us being up for sale again. We look like we are going backwards, and I wouldn't trust Commolli and Dalglish with their judgement to sign the right players, why would a player trust their career to them? How can they sell the club, given the dross they have served up most of the season. That is why an FA Cup WIN is so important. Anything less, and Kenny is gone in my opinion (I think he might be and should be anyway), because he is not a draw for top players. He's an old fans favourite, who has taken a job that long term is beyond him. That's what I think, and I wear no.7 every Sunday for luck, mostly because he and Keegan made that our iconic number. What must the neutrals think, and players who might have previously considered us as a viable top 4 team.
The answer is good coaching (kenny isn't a coach), canny transfers (which Commolli has failed at) and intensive player development with tactical awareness and a commitment to a style of play. We need a coach for the long term, a younger man with vision, discipline, and drive. Only then will we see the improvement we are seeking.
Abu_president I agree with 99.9% of what you've said but have to pint out that you've slightly contradicted yourself by saying that we'll not be able to attract players with a costly price tag. I think as Liverpool fas we are all concerned about the future of our club but what we seem to forget is that everyone at liverpool, players, coaches and everyone down to even the tea lady all have these concerns.
We are in a rebuilding process at Liverpool and I am amazed by how many of us as fans aren't aware of that and do not realise that this will take time and patience on our part.Yes mistakes will be made and fingers will be pointed at those players, the manager and even the owners.
What upsets me is that there appears to be too much panicking going on because of the outside pressure of people who have no concern about our club but that of wanting us to fail and humiliate us at every possible opportunity they have to do so or at any little whiff of us faltering.
I've supported this club for nearly 50 years and even though times have changed I have always love they way that we as a club go about things with grace and privacy, that is rear these days as everyone seems to want to come in and tell you how to run your club and how much money you should be spending. I still believe in this club and know deep down in my heart that we will get it right and even though we haven't had a good season, we are still there moving in the right way and this mark my words will be proven in the next couple of seasons. There is a great old saying that we all seem to forget: you have to take a step back to take 2 forward. Many might say we are taking more than 2 steps back but I still firmly believe that Kenny is the right person for the job given that he's from the old school of thinking and that he wants and is trying to get Liverpool back to it's core values which was taught to him by the great man himself. For that reason alone I truly think that we should not waver from our path and continue to focus on becoming a solid team and club again. I've received a lot of criticism on here for my comment but we're all entitled to our believes and at the same time we should not have them changed by people who doesn't have your best interest at heart. This club was built to be successful, it will always be successful perhaps not at the moment but it will return to becoming successful. We as Liverpool fans just need t remember that and not allow the constant pressure of media, the haters and all the rest pressure us into think different, just need to have a little bit more faith.

merlin...good post mate have to agree with u sentiments ...the idea of Kenny doing his best to return the club to its core values is the way I see it too...cant see as any true supporter of our club could disagree with such a sentiment. Problem is there are quite a few snide wind up merchants on this board masquerading as :supporters: and u are quite right when u say we shouldnt let :the haters: pressure us in any way...the degree of pessimism evident in some posts on this board from certain posters for me identifies them for the wind up artists they are . Why ? Because never in my 55 yrs support of this club have I encountered such incessant pessimism from a real fan ...we will always first seek the positives before leveling any criticism... but not these clowns.
I think here in this same thread dsteer...Dave...gave the perfect riposte to some of these types and their attempts to dismay true supporters when he said... :The only way to satisfy your expectations would have been to send the removal vans to the Nou Camp and move Barca here !:
Damian Commoli out, quality signings in, like that Vargas bloke from Fiorentina, add in a player who gives the team some badly needed "urgency" speed down the wings, etc, a sergio aguero like striker, and then maybe, just maybe liverpool might be able to get back into the top 4...
I was working on an exhibition actually, but read a lot about FSG.
Do you deny the existence of an Ian Ayre e-mail, where he questions the motives of FSG and their ability to revive LFC?
Do you deny that FSG did not consider Kenny Dalglish for even their shortlist, and that it was the opinions of the supporting public who influenced their decision to appoint him?
I did NOT say that a focus on LFC cost the baseball team the play offs. I said that FSG have been criticised by fans of the Boston Red Sox who HAVE said that.
All in all what I have posted is speculation based on what I've read, much of which is based on their record in Boston.
At the end of the day I have predicted based on what I know that Kenny will be asked to step down in the summer, FA Cup or no FA Cup. Come July/August you can mock me for being wrong.
armchair...:Ive a feeling D Commoli will remain at LFC while FSG are owners: ...quote from armchair ...yesterday ! YOU HAVE TO LAUGH EH LADS? Surely u couldnt make this bufoon up ? Hes like something out of a cartoon strip...seriously he has to be a wind up artist ?

Only 2 players have worked out and thats Enrique & Suarez.. although Suarez would truly shine with a proper striker in front of him.. someone to feed balls too..
We had that player already and we got rid!!
Kenny needs to look in the mirror for sure, and he must need to assess the relationship with Commolli, and see if that is working. At the end of the day I don't know what Damien does. He is in lots of pictures with players when they sign contracts, and that seems to be about it. I've never watched another game and seen him scouting, and I watch a lot of foreign games. I've seen Pardew in the crowd for example at French games, and Alex Fergusons brother at La Liga games.
At the end of the day it is the signings that haven't worked, bar Enrique, not a single one of them. Who is that down to? Kenny is taking most of the flak, but should he be?
I also think there is an issue with the coaching. Kenny doesn't coach, he is an old fashioned manager. Clarke and Keen do the coaching. The defence on the whole has been very organised all season....and we don't need to strengthen any area of it in my opinion for next year (unless Robinson isn't quite ready in which case we will need a 2nd string left back). Clarke did all of Chelsea's defensive coaching under Mourinho, and is a great coach. So no surprise there.
However, going forward, there doesn't seem to be a plan. How should we play to Carroll, are we going to get the ball wide, for crosses (it has seemed not) or play with narrow wide men, who cut in.......the right side has been a massive problem, largely because henderson has played there, and johnson has struggled occasionally with injuries or had to play left back too often....in central midfield there doesn't seem to be anyone who bombs on and supports...and the passing is too slow and formulaic to break teams diown especially when at home. All in all our creative attacking play has been awful. Is that down to Keen? Who coaches that?
Individually the players obviously have to take a look at themselves too, but we all know that isn't how it works....they have to be made accountable. In my opinion this is where Kenny is weak. Cross Fergie and you are dead.....cross Kenny, and he takes it on the chin. For example the Suarez handshake....never have I seen a manager of a club put in such a weak position, with his authority flouted, made to look a fool, embarassed. I would have gone mental if an employee of mine had done something similar, and had them half out the door fearing for their job. Football is different, but Kenny just seems to defend his players for everything, but get betrayed in return.
Even the attitude of the players on the bench against Blackburn. The players were laughing and joking with each other during the game, like a country club atmosphere. This during our poorest run of form since 1954, and I was watching the game, on tenterhooks, screaming at the box, because of some of the poor play. Maybe it is me, but they seem to have it too easy under Kenny. But there are all sorts of other factors too as I've mentioned.
That's actually quite amazing to make the trip all the way over here to the states and seek out such private and personal information from a group that only shares what's necessary on their sports ventures/business...
Henry's involvement and ownership in LFC caused the Red Sox to miss the playoffs for the first time in years? OMG, dear oh dear, I've heard it all..
You mean the Red Sox didn't miss last year's playoffs because the manager, Terry Francona lost complete control of the dressing room, with star players calling their own shots and behaving like morons? So the well documented, and admittedly true stories you can go and look up on the internet of Red Sox players not happy with the manager, the situation, and genuinely not caring about the season, sitting down in the dressing room eating fried chicken and drinking beers DURING games had nothing to do with them?
I don't even know why I'm bothering with this, I'm just so astounded..
I'm flying out of JFK Airport in New York tomorrow, just to seek out private information from Gerrard's doctor's and physios just to see what the real issue was, and when I return back home, I'll also have a leaked email from the Queen of England documenting a conspiracy theory on giving Steven the wrong injections into his groin to derail his/Liverpool's season..
As it turns out also, Henry is really business partners with H&G, and I learned this by making a special trip over to Texas and speaking with their personal lawyers, and in a slipped email it shows that all revenues are going to H&G, and when Henry is completed with draining this club into relegation, it will be sold to Venky's..
Jason...I lived in US for 17yrs and have to say that on reading Sideshows post not much rang true for me either...most of the stuff was far too personal sounding for US media sports reporting ?
Most sports stuff there whether it be NBA NFL or Baseball restricts itself to onfield activity or at worst personal scandals involving this player or that with performance enhancing or recreational drug use NOT boardroom opinions and power struggles.
I was surprised to think that there might have been such extensive reporting of Henrys personal views on the performance of Kenny or Commoli ? Dont really want to call Sideshow a liar but would suggest hes been doing FAR too much :reading between the lines: and as such has posted that reading between the lines channeled in the direction of his own bias towards terminating Kennys contract.

Daegu - Dayron Robles won the showdown of
the fastest three high hurdlers of all time in the 110 metres hurdles
final at the world championships on Monday.
The Cuban made
contact with his predecessor as Olympic champion and world record
holder, China's Liu Xiang, on his way to victory in 13.14 seconds.
"I don't like my technique today," Robles said in a televised
interview. "I was tangling with Liu Xiang over the last hurdle but I'm
feeling great now."
Liu tripped on the final hurdle, a rarity
for the 2007 world champion, and was only able to claim bronze in 13.27
behind American Jason Richardson, who took silver in 13.16.
American David Oliver, the fastest man this year and the last of the
trio of quickest high hurdlers ever, hit the second hurdle and was never
in the race, slumping home in fifth in 13.44.

You know, I slave away over a hot computer every single day to gift you with as comprehensive coverage as I possibly can of horror video games, and what do you do in return? Nothing. Now, if you'd like to make it up to me, all I'll require from you to remedy the situation is $1,695,000 and a one-way ticket to New York City so I can buy this ridiculously cool steampunk-themed apartment.
Located in the Chelsea neighborhood, this glorious home has been designed to unite all geeks, whether they be affiliated with the Horde or the Alliance, overwhelm them with a childlike glee and instil an urge to frolic in a field of copper dandelions while steampunk airships rain down sunshine and rainbows from above.
This isn't an apartment. It isn't a house or a home, it's a work of art. It just so happens that this is art you can live in, assuming you have the money.

Mike and Ike Cotton Candy
Just Born, which makes the class Peeps marshmallows and Hot Tamales also make Mike and Ike. Since these are classic candies, recently they've been marketing them in nostalgic packaging, sold especially at places like Cracker Barrel and in decade themed gift baskets. Every once in a while they revive a classic flavor mix, as well.
This year Just Born announced the return of their Mike and Ike Cotton Candy, which was discontinued in 2002, and Mike and Ike Root Beer Float.
I've been looking for these since they were announced and finally found them at a Dollar Tree in Pennsylvania (but not at two I checked in California). I'm always curious how Mike and Ike does these limited mixes, especially since I know that cotton candy isn't much of a flavor.
There are two colors in the mix, pink and blue, but it's unclear if they're intended to be different flavors of cotton candy.
The box smells like the box, no fruity or floral aromas, nothing that reminded me of the county fair. Cotton Candy isn't much of a flavor to begin with. Originally cotton candy was just spun sugar, so the flavor is toasted but otherwise just sweet. But somewhere along the way cotton candy was colored (a great choice, in my opinion) and given different flavors. The flavoring of cotton candy is usually subtle, often strawberry or blueberry.
The blue and pink jelly rods tasted the same to me. They're sweet, with that burnt sugar note and a the lightest hint of strawberries. There's no tartness, no zest, not much else ... these could be sold without any color at all as minimalist Mike and Ike.
I found the flavor pleasant and clean. The texture as good, they felt fresh, kind of like that feeling I have about 10 minutes after a nice cup of jasmine tea.
I don't know if I would buy these specifically for the flavor, but because of the extra mild flavor and the pastel colors, they'd be great for a party favor or decorating baked goods.

Choceur Dark Chocolate Covered Superberries - Pomegranate
There's a strange new genre of candy, which I can only call the" nuggets of dark berry flavored jelly candy covered in dark chocolate." It started with Brookside Chocolate, which made several versions with combinations like Blueberry & Acai or Goji & Raspberry and the trendy Pomegranate. The candy went over so well that Hershey's bought the company, even though they never bothered to name the candy. Trader Joe's at least called its version Powerberries, which is probably the best name they've had so far. Since then other companies have come along with their versions, like Brach's and Target's house brand Simply Balanced.
I found this new Aldi version in the earlier this month. They at least have a real name: Choceur Dark Chocolate Covered Superberries Pomegranate. There was also a blueberry acai version on the shelves, in a blue package. At $2.99 for a 7 ounce package, they were certainly better priced that most other candies of this kind.
The style of the candy is an intensely flavored jelly center is covered with chocolate. The early marketing for these candies capitalized on the idea that berries and chocolate were have lots of antioxidants in them. Though certainly not healthy, the idea was that there was at least some value to eating this indulgence.
These particular candies diverge quite a bit from that original mission. The chocolate isn't particularly dark (though there's no mention of the percentages) and the "pomegranate juice drop" centers are actually made from corn syrup, sugar, corn starch and then a concentrated blend of pear and pomegranate juice, malic acid and some natural flavors.
The pieces are big and quite attractive. They're about 3/4 of an inch across and the rounded dome pieces are about 1/2 inch high.
The curious thing about them is that they're definitely gumdrop style, except that the center is intensely flavored. They're floral and tangy and do actually have a little note of honey and pear to them. The texture is very smooth, though a little tough. The dissolve of the centers, though, was wonderfully smooth with the bright flavor consistent throughout as the chocolate disappeared faster than the jelly.
The chocolate was okay, it was a little sweet for this type of candy, but smooth and had a well rounded flavor that was mostly overshadowed by the tartness of the fruit.
The centers are uncolored, and actually quite translucent if you take all the chocolate off. So, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that there's not much in the way of antioxidants here. It's just good tasting candy.
As long as we admit we've left the world of health food, there's no reason the flavors can't be expanded to include citrus or raspberry.
Superberries are made in the USA. They contain soy and milk and may have traces of peanuts, tree nuts, wheat and eggs.

Pez Hedz - Hello Kitty
On an episode of Candyology 101 last year we talked about this new product called PEZ Hedz. The come in two varieties currently, Bearz and Hello Kitty. I picked up the PEZ Hedz Hello Kitty variety because they were strawberry and raspberry flavored ... two winning flavors from the start.
The whole PEZ branding on them was kind of odd, I wouldn't expect good candy out of them, because PEZ is really a toy company, not a candy company. Their toys just happen to have candy in them. However, PEZ Heds are made by Katjes in Germany. If it didn't say that on the package, I would have guessed from its origin and the fact that they're just the cutest little deposit molded faces. Katjes also makes other face-shaped candies like Tappsy and Percy Pig. So, that was a good sign, because Katjes does a great job with their candies.
I wanted to post this review after detailing what is and isn't a gummi candy, just to clear up any confusion. Pez rightfully calls these soft candy chews, as they're not quite gummis. The ingredients are interesting as they use a base of glucose (wheat syrup that's gluten free) and sugar that's thickened with pectin and potato protein. Though the colorings are from all natural sources, the flavors are a mix of natural and artificial.
When I first looked at them through the clear window in the package, they looked a lot like the Katjes Tappsy, which is a foamy gummi. (They're not quite marshmallows, but a little fluffier than gummis.) There are two colors, the striking white face with the pink bow is the traditional Hello Kitty and is strawberry. The light pink color with the purple bow is raspberry.
The faces are big, about 1.5 inches wide and 1 inch high. They're smooth to the touch, kind of like a cross between the soft texture of a river pebble and the flexibility of an eraser. Until I ate one, I wasn't quite sure what the texture was going to be.
The texture is very smooth with a really vibrant flavor.The strawberry has a mostly tangy note at first with good floral and cotton candy scents that waft around when eating it. The pieces are big, kind of two bite portions. The raspberry was much more floral, a little on the soapy side but with a creamy vanilla note towards the end. The bows were actually more dense and sweet versions of the face.
The texture was a little tooth-sticky, like Swedish fish, but ultimately a little cleaner feeling in the end. There were no weird aftertastes (probably because there's no Red 40 in there), so I found them to be exceptionally pleasant. I found they went really well with some strong black tea in afternoon.
They're in no way like a vegetarian gummi, they don't pretend to be. They're more like Swedish Fish, with a bit of personality.
The package says they're 99% fat free, gluten free, vegetarian and gelatin free. There's a bit of beeswax in there, for vegans who were wondering and the package says they may contain traces of milk.

Jelly Belly Pancakes and Maple Syrup
The newest flavor from Jelly Belly is Pancakes & Maple Syrup.
Though the name of the new flavor is a little trendy, the idea is pretty solid. Maple is a great, distinctive but mild flavor. It's an ideal addition to Jelly Belly's line because it can be combined with other flavor beans. Though I didn't have any on hand to try out, I would think that Banana and Strawberry would go well.
The packaging is fun, an aqua gingham motif on the bag gives it a homespun feel. The image on the front, though is not of Vermont maple trees with running sap and buckets, like I might have imagined, instead it's more in line with what I see any neighborhood diner, a plate of pancakes with butter and a little pitcher of syrup. (Now, I love my little diner I go to, but I highly doubt they use actual maple syrup because their menu just says syrup.)
The beans are uniform looking, a medium caramel color, kind of like Sugar Babies. The bag does smell a lot like maple syrup, which is a sweet smell with notes of bourbon and vanilla with a little molasses or pipe tobacco.
The interesting things is that these are not just maple flavor but also pancake, so there are other flavor notes to the actual beans. Though the primary flavor is definitely, and perhaps over-the-top maple syrup, I also caught sort of buttery notes. It's not the overwhelming buttered popcorn flavor, just a sort of salty and creamy flavor to it. (There are 25mg of salt per serving.)
So, there's lots of maple-y flavor and buttery notes, but no actual pancake, which is fine, because just a jelly bean that tastes like pancake topping is good enough.
The fun part for many candy fans is that Jelly Belly are gluten free and peanut free. So if you can't have actual pancakes because you're gluten intolerant, you can have these.
I think the trendiness of these makes them appealing in the short term for buzz, but maple should stand the test of time. Of course the Honey jelly beans introduced a five years ago didn't do so well and I think those did better in combination with other flavors than Maple.

Nature Addicts Fruit & Chocolate - Apple Orange
Chocolate covered dried fruit is one of the simplest confections. Raisins, candied orange peels and ginger and cranberries are the most common chocolate coated items. Every once in a while a company comes along to put a little twist on the idea.
Nature Addicts (which goes by [N.A!]) makes Fruit Sticks, which are basically pureed fruit formed into easy to eat pieces. Then they went one step further and coated them in chocolate. They just call them Fruit & Chocolate, which is a descriptive name but not particularly distinctive. The only flavor is Apple Orange.
[N.A!] nuggets made 100% from fruits coated with a fine layer of premium 70% cocoa dark chocolate for a unique experience.
The fruit filling is made from concentrated apple puree, concentrated apple juice, concentrated orange juice, pectin, citrus fiber and natural orange flavor. The chocolate coating is 70% made with reduced fat cocoa powder, in addition to cocoa liquor. It's sweetened with cane sugar. There's also a little honey in there, so it's not marked as a vegan product.
The nuggets are made in The Netherlands, and it's all non-GMO ingredients. They're not terribly attractive. There's no glaze on the panned chocolate coating, so they're a little lumpy, a little scuffed. They're mostly flat rectangles, about 1/2 an inch long and 1/3 of an inch wide.
Even though the fruit bits are really more apple than orange, they taste like orange. It's an immediately zesty flavor, but also very tangy. The texture of the filling is less of a jelly and more like a fruit paste, think a very soft fruit roll up.
It's a good combination, though the sweet and sour of the chocolate and the filling is a little jarring because both are intense.
Even though it's a dark chocolate product, they seem pretty kid-friendly. Smaller children probably won't like the intense bitterness of the chocolate along with the intense sour of the filling, but older kids may find this a nice compromise candy for families that want something with a little cleaner ingredients for snacking. The bag is just over one ounce and only 110 calories, though there are 2.5 grams of fat, there are also 2 grams of fiber and 1 gram of protein. I wouldn't call them nutritious, but they're tasty enough as a between meal snack or an addition to a trail mix.

Leaf Tart n Tinys
It's rare that I get to chronicle the demise of a candy on this blog, it's even rarer to then be able to report of its return.
Tart n Tinys was a fringe candy to begin with back in the early 1970s. They were one of the early confections introduced by Breaker Confections, which also made other compressed dextrose candies like Wacky Wafers (more history on Collecting Candy). The innovation for the candy came around 1977 when they added a re-closable top that acted as a dispenser for the maddeningly small pieces. Later they were added into the Wonka brand in the 1980s, which Breaker licensed around the time of the movie premiere. But still, they were never headliner candies, they were never the centerpiece of the Wonka brand, and rarely included in other formats for the candies sold for Trick or Treat or in large lay-down bags.
Tart n Tinys were then discontinued around 2007, and even then, they were different from the original candy. They sported candy shells, like mini Spree candies, though they came in a larger box now and with the addition of a blue raspberry flavor. There was a chewy version, which again, might have been confusing for the existing Wonka brand which also included SweeTarts, Spree and Mini Chewy SweeTarts at that time.
Devoted fans bought up the last few cases of Tart n Tinys, I even held onto a few boxes (I have two or three, still). Then Leaf Brands started to buy up the old trademarks and research the recipes in order to revive the candies. (Leaf brought back Astro Pops in 2012 and is also promising a return of Wacky Wafers this year.)
The new Tart n Tinys are similar to the original packaging for the candy; a simple cellophane bag. They were expensive when I picked them up, at Dylan's Candy Bar, for $3.49 for a 1.5 ounce package. Though they don't have the candy coating of the version that was discontinued, there are blue candies in there. They're made in America and a Kosher.
The wee little cylinders are 1/4 of an inch high. They're about 3/16 of an inch in diameter. The candies were only slightly powdery within the package, which you can kind of see in the picture of the wrapper up there.
There are six colors and flavors: blue raspberry, grape, orange, lime, lemon and cherry. There's no listing of the flavors on the package.
Blue Raspberry is sweet and tart with a pretty good floral berry flavor to it.
Grape is smooth and acidic but without much grape punch to it, though it's hard to rival the SweeTarts grape.
Lemon is mild, a little tangy but not too much lemon in there either.
Orange is probably the best, a good mix of the juice flavor and tartness.
Lime is surprising, I was certain it was going to be green apple, so that was nice. It's a good lime, not too artificial and not too much like a floor cleaner.
Cherry is pretty bold, sometimes it seemed like it was the most intense of the flavors in the mix. The black cherry flavors were well rounded, good deep notes and a puckery finish.
As a candy sold as tart, they're not as sour as some of the modern Warheads or Toxic Waste type products.
The texture is generally smoother than SweeTarts, which tend to be a little crumbly and lumpy. However, the flavor is not as intense, so there's plenty of tart but less actual defining flavor between them. This makes it easy to eat them together as a mix, but harder to chose over SweeTarts for flavor alone. However, I liked all of the flavors and didn't have to pick any of them out, the fact that there's orange, lime and raspberry in there makes this a unique mix among the sour dextrose candies.
The upshot of all of this is that, yes, they are very much like the original candy. However, the packaging is lacking the original flair with its recyclable dispenser box ... and the price (I admit that it's probably not the normal price) is ridiculous. I'll stick to SweeTarts until these come down to normal pricing. But, they really are fun to stack and arrange.

SweetWorks Celebration Candies - Bears
I've been putting off this review of SweetWorks Celebration Candies for months. I've seen them at stores quite a bit lately, not just the bears, but SweetWorks makes a wide variety of shapes and color variations for different party needs. My hesitation was that they look great, but didn't taste like much at all.
This particular variation is little candy coated bears in pearlescent yellow, green and white. The sparkly coating is created with food-safe mica based pigments.
I got a sample of their peg bag of this variety that's 12 ounces, but I've seen smaller 6 ounce bags and of course some wholesalers will sell by the case. They're a very popular item for candy buffets, or for decorating and party favors for baby showers and birthday parties. They're made by OakLeaf in Canada. The package says that it's peanut free, tree nut free and gluten free, however, the package says that their facility does use milk and soy.
The bears don't smell like much, a little perfumey but otherwise a clean smell. I don't know if they have particular flavors, as the package only mentions what you can do with them: candy buffet, baked goods, party favors, themed events, candy dish, bridal shower, baby showers. Nowhere does it mention just eating or how they'll taste.
They're a pressed dextrose candy, a compacted powder made from glucose (dextrose) is flavored and stamped out under high pressure to make the candies. Then they're tumbled with some colors and glazes to make them even prettier.
What is also nice about them is that they're designed on both sides, so the front is the bear's face and belly, the back has a tiny little buttocks tushy thing going on.
When I was at the Lolli & Pops candy store, I noticed that they had some uncoated multicolored bears as well, so I picked those up to see if there was a flavor difference.
These are actually quite different from the coated version, which is kind of sad, because these are nicer. The texture is a little on the powdery side, compared to the SweeTarts tablets but not as chalky as Smarties.
Green is Lime - which is rare. It's a more floral flavor than most lime candies, and much less sour than a traditional SweeTart.
Red is Cherry and passable, though more sour than cherry flavored. Heck, it might even be strawberry.
Orange is Orange and has a good orange soda flavor that balances the tart and juicy flavors.
Yellow is Lemon or maybe Pineapple. It was terrible, sweet and soapy.
Purple is Grape and probably my favorite - tart, floral and completely artificial.
Blue is Raspberry and so flowery, it was more like a soap.
These are nice edible decorations, but not great candy. I think the pearlescent bears may work well in decorating recipes since they don't have a flavor, they won't compete with anything. OakLeaf also makes Cry Baby Tears, which are the candies you'd want to get if you want something extremely sour with very little flavor variation.

The Recent History of Brach's Fiesta Malted Milk Eggs
I'm a big fan of Malted Milk Balls and consider the candy coated Pastel Malted Milk Egg to be one of the best holiday candy creations ever. Brach's has been making a pastel egg for at least 55 years, and malted milk balls for even longer.
Though the Brach's brand has been around for over 110 years, they've changed ownership, leadership and product focus dozens of times. This means that the products themselves also change. The changes can be for consumer-driven reasons, supply issues and costs. I've noticed, since Candy Blog is coming up on 10 years, that the Brach's Fiesta Eggs have changed quite a bit over the years, and have some photos and notes to document it.
Name: Pastel Fiesta Malted Milk Eggs
Though this was my first year reviewing them, it wasn't the first time I had them and thought they used to be better.
Name: Fiesta Malted Milk Eggs
I'd say that this was a lackluster version, though I liked the center, the chocolate brought the whole thing down.
Name: Fiesta Malted Milk Eggs
These were simply too difficult to eat because of the size and shell. The center was good, especially because the ratio was so high.
2015 Malted Milk Eggs Compared
Name: Malted Milk Pastel Fiesta Eggs
The center this year is different. It's darker in color, which does indicate that the recipe or manufacturing process has changed. The colors are great, I like the shell, though many commenters do not like the new version. I can't put my finger on what's wrong here, except that I don't plan on buying them again, but I'll finish the bags I have.

Has anyone noticed a change in their babies behavior after taking Vitamin D drops? About 4-5 hours after having the drops she will cry for no reason, have bad tummy pains and generally be pretty miserable (no smiling, angry face). I've been tracking when I give her the drops, and when she gets really fussy and they seem to be related.
Tomorrow I'm not going to give her drops and just give her time in the sun, but I'd like to know if anyone else was experiencing the same thing.

Terror powers used on innocent protestors
Cristina Fraser, a student, was stopped when cycling near the airport with a friend and then charged under section 58 of the Terrorism Act. This makes it an offence to make a record of something that could be used in an act of terrorism."
Whats that got to do with riding a bike she was clearly recording of something that could be used in an act of terrorism. lol
Maybe the best tactic would be to halt the benefits for those taking aprt in prottests becuase they are not activley looking for gainful employment.
whinge whinge whinge taff is that all you can do make up stories about police states and "innocent" protestorsSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I would have to say that the Police case against Cristina Fraser was best described as pathetic. She wasn't charged under the Terrorism Act she was charged with Conspiracy to Cause a Public Nuisance, that is about as thin a charge as it is possible to get without charging her for walking on the cracks in the footpath.
I find your suggestion that people engaged in protest should have State Benefits stopped quite interesting. Can I count on your support when I suggest that pensioners protesting about the Council Tax levels and refusing to pay should have their retirement pensions stopped??
Once you try to stop the right of protest then 'free speech' becomes a total nonsense meaning that you can only speak freely on subjects that the Government consider 'acceptable'. This aligns the UK with Stalinist Russia and Maoist China, hardly something most thinking people would want.

Well in September I used the card to book a night's stay at a downtown Seattle hotel. The way this card works is you pay the full price up front, which is actually a bit more expensive than on other sites, and then within 3 weeks they are either supposed to mail you a check or credit your credit card account with the $50. Well it is now December, and I have not yet received my $50. I have been calling, leaving voicemail messages, and emailing them multiple times. It is impossible to get a hold of anyone, or get a response from these scammers.
I see that on this site other people have had issues with this company too. I hope we can all join together and do a class action lawsuit. I am also considering small claims court, and I believe that at this point I am entitled to more than my $50. There should be interested added on, as I could have had that money sitting in my own interest bearing savings account. Furthermore, this issue has cost me time and money in the form of postage and possible lawyer fees.
