Skittles from the UK
I was interested in what the UK version of Skittles were like compared to the American Skittles for two reasons. The first is that they don't use gelatin in them. This means that vegetarians are free to enjoy, but I wasn't sure what difference it would make in the texture. The second is that UK Skittles aren't fortified with vitamin C. Did you know that a pack of American Skittles has half our daily RDA?
My friends Bronwen & Jay just returned from Europe and brought this super-sized tub of Skittles for me.
So, how different are Euro-Skittles? First, remember that Skittles were first introduced in Europe, so if anything, we've corrupted them with our gelatin.
I got some American Skittles and did a side by side.
It was pretty obvious that the colors aren't quite the same. The Euro-Skittles are bit dull in comparison, in color and shine. The American Skittles are on the left and the UK sourced ones on the right.
The flavors are the same until you get to purple, which is Black Currant in the UK, grape in the US.
The textures are different. American Skittles are firm, have a pretty crispy shell and long chew that's a little grainy and then descends back into a grainy sugary mess before dissolving.
UK Skittles are soft and have what feels like a thinner shell. The flavor seems a bit brighter on the citrus ones, especially the lemon that tastes rather like fresh lemon juice.
I've never been overly fond of the American Grape Skittle, I eat it, but it's way down there at the bottom, right after Lime. So I was intrigued by the Black Currant at first. If anything, the whole tub smells like Black Currant (whereas I find American Skittles smell like Strawberry). What I found out is this ... I don't like Black Currant Skittles. In fact, I might not like Black Currant as a flavor much at all.
I did a little reading on Black Currant, because it seems like a rather traditional British flavor and found that it's one of the few fruits grown in the UK with high levels of Vitamin C, during WWII it was the only reliable local source. On this side of the pond, Currant cultivation was banned because the plants were encouraging the spread of a disease of pine trees needed for the lumber industry. So as they fell out of the American diet, they were practically forced down the throats of the UK kiddies. (See Wikipedia.)
American Skittles…..................UK Skittles
My dislike of Black Currant Skittles certainly wouldn't dissuade me from eating Skittles in England or anything. The differences between the two, besides that flavor, are marginal at best. The good thing is that I have a huge tub of them.
Even though they have no gelatin, they're not Kosher or Hallal.

Sour Extinguisher
Following up on yesterday's Starburst Sour, I thought I'd tackle some real sour stuff. I found Sour Extinguisher at the 7-11 a few weeks ago and thought it was a cute idea. There are three different flavors with different levels of sour along with an "extinguisher" that puts out the sour burn.
The first thing I noticed was that the "randomness" of my bag meant that I had an overwhelming number of yellow candies. (The bag makes mention that the assortment may vary, it also makes mention of the chance of mouth irritation.)
The candies break down this way:
Tangy Tangerine - a mild sour ... (6 candies)
The little candies look more like pieces of lumpy gum. They're matte in color and don't smell like anything.
The Tangerine is nice. A little firm to chew, not quite a Chewy SweeTart or Skittles, it's more like a Razzle that never turns into gum. Lemon is quite tart, but actually has some really good authentic lemon flavors in there, even a little bitterness that makes it taste like a freshly shaken lemonade. Lime is very sour, so much so that it takes a while to get to the actual flavor. Again, it actually tastes like lime eventually.
None of them was so sour that I had to reach for the Extinguisher but I pretended with some Lime anyway. The Raspberry was definitely sweet and it definitely smote the sour. The flavor was pretty bland, kind of like cotton candy.
The texture of the candies as a whole isn't really my idea of great. They're crumbly but never really chewy and then they disappear. I'd give them higher marks if I didn't feel like the texture was due to being in the sofa cushions for several years. As an interactive candy that you really need to look at what you're eating, it's a fun idea, especially for kids who crave these sorts of things. I found, if nothing else, they really got my mouth watering.
See Candy Addict's kid tested review.
UPDATE 6/9/2009: Big BOING, the company that developed Sour Extinguisher, sold it to American Licorice. It was relaunched in January 2009 with two flavor sets. Full review here of the new Chewy Extinguisher Sour Citrus & Chewy Extinguisher Sour Fruit.

Starburst Sours (New)
Just when I think I'm done, I get pulled back in again! I thought I'd reviewed all the Starburst on the market today when I saw that the Starburst Sour have new flavors.
It's not like I was that thrilled with the original set of flavors in the Starburst Sour array, so the new ones might be better.
As luck would have it I picked up the new flavors, then saw the original flavors at the 99 Cent Only Store. Before you go thinking that this will be a redux of the LifeSavers, both of these products are fresh.
Original Starburst Sour were manufactured in June of 2006 with an expiration of 8/2007. New Starburst Sour were manufactured in December 2006. (Curious how I know this, check out What Does that Mars Code Mean?)
Here's the flavor breakout:
Sour Tangerine (was Orange) - I really had to work hard on this one. The wrappers were the exact same shade of orange and the candies were the exact same shade of orange. I had to admit that the new Sour Tangerine was different from the orange. It had a "high note" of orange and tartness that just wasn't in the original. I can't say I prefer one over the other, but I'm glad there's something citrus in there.
Sour Green Apple (was Cherry) - I was pretty surprised that this wasn't in the original mix. It's definitely a synthetic sour apple taste, but it's quite intense and of course sour. It has some nice real apple juice notes to balance it out, especially as the chew goes on.
Sour Strawberry (was Grape) - While I enjoy a sassy tart and crispy apple and even a juicy tangerine, I have a hard time with sour strawberries, as they're so much better when they're sweet and ripe. It smelled like strawberry - a cross between summer flowers and cotton candy. The chew though, was a little less pleasant. It was sour but it didn't match up with the flavor, it was like a blind date that was going horribly, uncomfortably wrong. It made me break out in a sweat twice, not because it was too sour, perhaps because of the red food coloring. I didn't eat the third one in the mix.
Sour Blue Raspberry (same) - still an insane blue, still an unnatural flavor for food. Tart and a little on the lime side, a little bitter/dry aftertaste that I kind of liked it this time around.
Overall, I prefer the much more rounded flavors of the classic Starburst. I can see these being a nice change of pace and if I were doing more bike riding or running where I wanted a little something to get rid of dry mouth, this might be the stuff because they're so portable and of course a good variety in every pack.
Some of our wheat sensitive friends will be happy to hear that the new packaging now says that New Flavors Starburst Sour are Gluten Free (please make sure that your package says that if you're gluten intolerant since the old flavor set does not say that!).

Lotte Chew-Let - Pomegranate
It must be pomegranate day here on Candy Blog!
These Lotte chews were given to me by a co-worker of my husband's who just returned from South Korea. She brought me lots of goodies (some which I'll get to in the coming weeks). These were fascinating because they were pomegranate but also because they appear to be knock-offs of Morinaga's HiCHEW (or maybe progenitors ... I'm not sure of the history of these things).
The package is partially in English on one side and in Korean on the other. There's 2% of something in here, according to the English side ... I'm going to guess 2% real fruit juice.
The chews differ from HiCHEW in a couple of ways. First, the little rods are square, not rectangular.
Second, they're colored on the outside and white on the inside. HiCHEWS are colored on the inside and white on the outside.
There was no way to do a complete head to head since these were pomegranate flavored. The chews were a pleasant pink color. Soft and though chewy and yielding, not quite as latexy as the HiCHEW.
They were tangy and fragrant and reminded me of raspberry more than pomegranate. Pomegranates are naturally a rather dry flavor, but share a lot of similarities with raspberry. I still think I prefer the Citrus HiCHEW, but I'll keep my eyes open for other varieties of Chew-Lets at the Korean/Japanese grocers.

UHA Puccho Custard
These are freakish, disarming and charming all at once. I don't know why I ordered them from JBox, but I'm certainly glad I did.
I thought that the Puccho line is really inventive. If you've never had them they're a chew studded with bits of gummi and then other candy, usually little sour or fizzy nuggets. I know it sounds weird but it really works.
JBox.com called this variety Baked Puccho—Custard Cream. But from the package and taste I've decided it's really creme brulee.
The chew is a light vanilla, smooth though not quite as bouncy as HiCHEW. Then as the chew continues there are little grainy sparkles of caramelized sugar and then soft and dense nuggets of caramel flavored gummis. Creamy and crunchy and chewy.
It sounds weird, I know, but they're completely addictive and I'm sorry I didn't buy more (especially since they're currently out of them). They're satisfying in that they make me feel like I've had a decadent fatty custard but they're also so engaging because of the chew that I want to keep it going.
The other flavor they have in stock at JBox right now is Mikakuto Baked Puccho—Baked Apple & Cinnamon which also sounds pretty weird, but judging by my first impression of these, they're probably very good.

HiCHEW Yuzu & Valencia
Here I was lamenting that Starburst wasn't making the flavors I wanted when there are companies out there that make exactly what I like: strong citrus flavored chews. A couple of weeks ago I ordered from JBox. Even though my local Japanese markets in Little Tokyo stock a huge variety of candies, they always seem to miss the fringy things.
The first item I wanted to try was Valencia Orange HiCHEW.
The candy is fresh and has that inimitable bounce that HiCHEWs always deliver. The orange flavor is well rounded, sweet and a little tangy with a good juicy zest bite to it. It's not quite tangy enough for me, though it gets tangier and more latexy as the chew goes on.
Rating: 8 out of 10
The one that really got me off my duff to place an order was Yuzu HiCHEW. I didn't even know what that was, but it had a sliced yellow fruit on the front.
Yuzu is an Asian citrus that most of us know from Ponzu sauce. It's kind of like grapefruit with a little lime and a little tangerine thrown in. Technically I guess the fruit is a hybrid of the Papeda Lemon and the Mandarin Orange. It's an exceptionally hardy citrus that can tolerate frost and freezing temperatures, though not particularly attractive, it's treasured for its peel.
The lemon notes come out loud and clear early on, then the mellow tangerine juice kicks in and at the end of the chew a really enticing grapefruit zest come out and ends with a slight bitterness. I bought two packs of both of these and as I write this, the Yuzu has three pieces left.
Rating: 9 out of 10
JBox sells them for $1.40 (plus shipping) which is a bit more than the dollar or so that I pay at the local markets. But if you don't have a local market, that hardly matters. Full disclosure: JBox gave me a gift certificate so that I could try more of the stuff in their inventory, I've ordered from them before and like their selection. Even though everything was shipped slowboat, it arrived in great condition. They don't always have all items in stock, but they just launched a new feature where you can get an RSS feed for all new items or just create a search for the items you're waiting to be in stock. (A very dangerous feature ... the Pineapple Mentos are in!)

Starburst Retro
Sometimes I don't read the directions. Especially when it comes to things like Ikea furniture and software. On an evening walk a couple of weeks ago with the neighbors and my lovely site programming/design team, we stopped at the 7-11. I scanned the racks for something new and sure enough found the Limited Edition Retro Starburst Fruit Chews. Or so I thought.
I got them home and the next morning went to take their picture. As you can see, that went pretty well. Then I opened the pack only to find that it was the regular flavors with just one of the limited edition array inside. Drat! Not only did I have to buy keep searching, I'd have to buy another package ... and take another photo. Drat!
As luck would have it (I do have plenty) I got an email from a similarly snack-obsessed reader in Colorado who said that they had the large bags at Safeway (called Von's in my area). So I stopped at Von's on my way home and lo and behold they serviced all my limited edition needs on sale.
I've decided after living with them in a jar on my desk all week that I LOVE the Skittles Carnival flavors. For that same period of time I've had the Starburst Retro bag on my desk as well. Granted, they fruit chews are not in a pretty glass jar, but I have to admit the tie-dye look of the package is pretty fun and tasty looking.
The package shows a slice of watermelon, a mango, a lime and some cherries. Not really a good sign for me. The concept of retro confuses me as well. From the package design I was expecting something from the sixties and seventies; perhaps the original Starbust flavors (which would be lame as originally the Cherry chew was Lime).
Or maybe retro is just anything that used to be a fad and is no longer popular.
As a mix I wasn't that fond of these. Lime was nice, well, they were all nice, but I never felt like picking out a particular flavor and preferred to eat the Skittles all week. What I really want is a good Citrus Mix. Grapefruit ... why haven't they done grapefruit? They could put in a tangy tangerine, zesty lemon, biting grapefruit and a key lime.

Skittles Carnival Flavors
This bag of Limited Edition Carnival Flavor Skittles absolutely smells like a carnival midway: a combination of waffle cones, cotton candy and freshly shaken lemonade.
I was a little peeved that I couldn't find these in a single-serve bag, but at least they were on sale. While many chocolate based products in large bags are only 11-14 ounces, Skittles still come in a full pound bag.
The only strange thing about all of the flavors is that the candy shell was every so slightly tangy when first placed on the tongue. While that's fine for Red Vines and Slushie, it didn't really belong on the Bubble Gum and Cotton Candy. I'm wondering if that sour bite is the ascorbic acid that gives each serving of Skittles its 45% RDA level of Vitamin C.
I didn't care much for the extended flavors I reviewed last week, but I found myself happily munching away on this bag of Skittles without picking out particular flavors. Also, the flavor combinations pretty much all work with each other. Perhaps Slushy and Candy Apple are my least favorite combo but Cotton Candy and Bubble Gum are quite a nice mix. The other fun thing is that there's not strange Skittles Breath after eating them. Often with the fruity Skittles I find coffee unpalatable. Though they're not really coffee compatible, they don't spoil the experience for me.

MIDDLETOWN — The new Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine, at the former Horton Hospital, is starting classes Wednesday.
The school, which is a branch of Touro's Harlem campus, is welcoming 135 students. That number is expected to swell to about 520 by the time the students enter their fourth year of medical school. Touro did a $25 million renovation to convert the old Horton building into a medical campus.
On Tuesday, Touro welcomed students for orientation. Dignitaries, including state Sen. John Bonacic, R-C-Mount Hope, and state Sen. Bill Larkin, R-C-Cornwall-on-Hudson, got a tour of the building and some of the high-tech equipment that will be used to train the new physicians.

Stream Information
Album of the Week
17 - 21
Artist: Kendrick Lamar
Title: untitled unmastered
Label: Top Dawg Entertainment
Genre: Hip-Hop
Released: March 2016
by Justin Van Heukelom - March 17, 2016
Thanks in large part to a LeBron James tweet, Top Dawg Entertainment released a Kendrick Lamar project titled "untitled unmastered." on the night of March 4. This semi-surprise release is quite unusual when looking at the superstar rapper's track record for a number of reasons: all of the songs have no titles (other than track numbers and recording dates), no listed features (yet they are there), and were untouched by TDE sound engineer 'Mixed by Ali.' Also, the EP's artwork is comprised of bland, dark green suede material reminiscent of a dusty sofa. Yet what is especially unusual about "untitled unmastered." is its unresolved themes, considering that well-refined concepts have become somewhat of an artistic staple in Lamar's discography.
Rather than giving us a project full of completely new ideas, Kendrick instead deals us eight unmastered demos from various studio sessions recorded for his most recent album, March 2015's "To Pimp a Butterfly." And likewise, similar themes from "TPAB" are scattered throughout the project, such as Kendrick's struggles with his faith and his rough adjustment to fame, while all coherently meshing with his analytical worldview. Some of the masterminds largely responsible for "TPAB's" signature funky, jazzy sound are also featured on the EP, including the under-recognized musicians Thundercat (singer/bass guitarist) and Terrace Martin (saxophonist/producer).
Within the first couple of tracks, Kendrick is painting for us his dystopic perception of Black America with emotions from the enraged to the desperate, begging God for answers as to why life appears so dismal. In terms of sonic atmosphere, the second track in particular features glum saxophone playing by Terrace Martin, adding much to the track's depressing tone.
Another highlight is the aggressive "untitled 05 - 09.21.2014," the first verse (performed during his Grammy's performance) which features Kendrick rapping from the perspective of a hopeless black male that "once upon a time… used to go to church and talk to God… now hollow tips is all [he's] got."
On the first part of the penultimate "untitled 07 - 2014-2016," Kendrick spazzes out over a bouncy beat about the highs of excessive money flow. The smooth and funky eighth and final track, first performed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon back in January, further expresses Kendrick's adjustment to new money in the song's chorus with the clever double entendre "blue faces" (about both sorrowful-looking faces and the new $100 bills that have literal blue-inked strips near Franklin's face). The final verse on this song is perhaps the most remarkable on the EP; in it, Kendrick meets a local of Cape Town (from his 2014 trip to South Africa that he rapped about on TPAB) that critiques African-American culture. It's up to you to decide if this man's argument is distorted or articulate.
All in all, this EP is really nothing more than a collection of cohesive demos with no resolutions; it serves as an extension of sorts to "TPAB." However, Kendrick Lamar may be the only current rapper than can make an EP of unreleased demos sound this enjoyable which is fully credible to his strict work ethic. One can't even imagine what his next fully fleshed out project will sound like after listening to this foundationless yet fantastic piece of work. 8/10

Nordic soundscapes and meditations. Improvisations and folk songs rooted in tradition.
»It's not a fusion so much as music that sounds to be coming from two traditions - Swedish folk and European jazz - simultaneously. This gives a feeling of complete spontaneity, with flautist Jonas Simonson and fiddler Mats Eden seeming to conjure literally weird and wonderful melodies out of thin air as Terje Isungset adds his inimitable percussive colours with bells, granite blocks, eerie vocalising and improbably virtuosic jew's harp. Isungset's brilliantly impressionistic feature summed up the performance in two words: sheer artistry - and it's not often you'll hear that said about drum solos.«

The Location Forum
We are the Eyes, Ears and Voice of Location
In today's connected world, location is more than just a technology or feature; it's part of our personality. People define themselves not just by who they are, but where they are.
But location has multiple personalities. It is a storyteller, a powerful enabler, a lifesaver and more. It is also complex - full of unintended consequences, pitfalls and risks causing confusion for both businesses and users.
What are the costs and benefits • What is legal and ethical • Where is the line between adding value and privacy infringement • What should users expect and what should businesses avoid?
The Location Forum guides you through this. We help businesses understand how the "Power of Where" can make them more successful while ensuring user's individual freedoms and security are not compromised.

I said John did you noticed anything when you first got in the car, he said yes, the brake pedal goes to floor before stopping, when I took it apart the turned the adjusters way down, so you would have a problem.
I have gone to my mechanic for 20 years, he is the most fair guy, very honest and will not do anything unless it needs to be done!
I can not believe that MONRO would do this such a dishonest thing to do to people. My son also has a friend who used to work for MONRO and they were told to sabatage stuff!! this is unreal.!
I was not ripped of per say but I wonder how many people they do this to for real!

I'm trying to create a page that lists the name and link to each of its child pages along with a custom thumbnail image for each.
I created a custom field in each of the child pages called "Thumbmail" and have a URL entered in there.
I think use this code:
The names of the child pages output fine and the links work, but the images do not. If you look at the source code, this is what is outputted: <img src="" width="80" height="80">.
Any ideas why?

Hi friends,I was looking over a waterdrop tutorial, and the instructor was talking about placing his flashes behind some acid-etched glass to make the lighting softer...What the heck is that?? I know when you guys tell me, I'm going to slap myself on the forehead,,,and go duh......but I honestly don't know what that is...If he would have just said something to diffuse the light, I could understand......help

It's basically just a some glass that has that matt, opaque finish, rather than being just plain glass, ie. frosted glass.It's another alternative to use to diffuse the light. I suspect you could get similar results using some tracing paper.Hope that helpsRob

For small pop-up flashes, you can even use an old film canister.Anyway, what's at play here is a flash diffuser - throw that into your favorite search engine and come up with dozens of results.

So now I have a HEADACHE! told you I'd be slapping myself on the forehead...So I would imagine even a piece of frosted plexi-glass or a piece of ceiling plexi 4x8 sheet would do,....now that was easy....thanks friends...

Should work. Whatever you use, I'm sure you'll enjoy putting the tutorial into practise. I tried some water drop shots a couple of days ago. 2 litres of water (makes quite a mess) and over 1000 shots later and I think I have 12 images that look pretty decent

Yes Rob, I should do know what you mean...but as you keep working and perfecting it, you'll start to keep more than you throw away....practice makes perfect!!!!!!

AbstractWith the advances of wireless sensor networks, they yield massive volumes of disparate, dynamic and geographically-distributed and heterogeneous data. The data mining community has attempted to extract knowledge from the huge amount of data that they generate. However, previous mining work in WSNs has focused on supporting simple relational data structures, like one table per network, while there is a need for more complex data structures. This deficiency motivates XML, which is the current de facto format for the data exchange and modeling of a wide variety of data sources over the web, to be used in WSNs in order to encourage the interchangeability of heterogeneous types of sensors and systems. However, mining XML data for WSNs has two challenging issues: one is the endless data flow; and the other is the complex tree structure. In this paper, we present several new definitions and techniques related to association rule mining over XML data streams in WSNs. To the best of our knowledge, this work provides the first approach to mining XML stream data that generates frequent tree items without any redundancy.

Pea shelling remembered

Comment (1)
Friday afternoon we picked two five-gallon buckets of peas from our garden. I picked the Black Crowder peas while Larry worked on the White Acres. Larry taught our grandson Stuart the fine art of pea picking. He has a way to go yet, but we're working on him. When the picking was finished, Larry and I settled in chairs under the oak trees to shell the peas. After the general conversation flagged, I began reminiscing.
My mother never learned to drive so she was completely dependent on Daddy for transportation until we girls grew up. She'd have us ready to go when Daddy came home at 5 p.m. Mama, Sarah Nell, and I would be waiting on the front porch with buckets and washtubs, and by 5:30 we'd all be picking peas in Grandpa's field out in the backside of Jeff Davis County. If insect repellent existed back then, we didn't know about it, and South Georgia summers were just as miserable then as they are now. Mama was a slave driver. When she said pick peas, we picked peas. We picked until her three washtubs were filled or the peas ran out-whichever came first. The peas never ran out. Three was the magic number because that was all she could fit in Daddy's big trunk.
Back at home she spread the peas on newspapers on the screened porch to keep them from "going through a heat." The next morning as Daddy was leaving for work, we were already on the porch shelling peas into Mama's big dishpans. Mama joined us as soon as she'd welcomed the children she babysat. Some of them were old enough to be interested in helping and were given assorted pots and pans to shell into. Mama directed a motley workforce. It's amazing that we accomplished anything at all, but she knew how to manage us. As the sun traveled across the sky toward noon, the peas accumulated in the dishpans. When one filled, Mama would leave us temporarily to go "put on a cooking."
As we worked, we talked. Mama told us stories of her own childhood, of shelling peas with her sisters-back in her day shelling peas was considered feminine work. The males grew them. The females picked and shelled them. Occasionally the males would stoop to pick if worse came to worst.
Pea-shelling mornings were fun, but by lunch time, the fun had worn off. Daddy came home for lunch which included fresh peas, and as soon as he went back to work, Mama sent us back to the porch. Not even dishwashing was allowed to interfere with the pea shelling.
"You can wash the dishes when the peas are shelled," Mama told me.
By then my fingers were sore and even dishwashing appealed to my sore hands. Nonetheless, many peas waited on their newspapers. The children had long since deserted the chore for naps or play. Now Sarah Nell, Mama, and I had to finish the peas.
At 4:30 the mothers of the children started arriving to pick them up. When Mama asked Margaret, the first mother, if she wanted a mess of peas, I thought my mother had finally taken leave of her senses. We'd worked awfully hard picking all those peas out in the hot sun, gnats, and mosquitoes. Now Mama was giving them away. However, as she filled a brown grocery bag with peas, I realized that every pea she gave away was a pea I didn't have to shell.
"Mama, are you sure that's enough?" I asked her.
If we still had peas left when Daddy came in, he'd get a pan and help. He was about the slowest pea-sheller I've ever known, but we appreciated his willingness.
"It'd take me all day to shell enough for me to eat," he'd laugh, as he plopped one pea at a time into his dishpan.
"You know, Larry," I said, "I don't know why I used to think shelling peas was such a terrible chore. I have such fond memories of those days now. It's not so bad, is it?"
"Hmmph," he replied, as the shadows deepened under the old oaks. "I'm not so sure about that. But I've already had some meat to go with my peas. I know I've swallowed at least half-a-dozen gnats."

I sure have fond memories of shelling peas with my Mother and Grandmother as well. I'd love to sit on the porch or in the house while the "stories" were on shelling peas! Life's simple pleasures are so much more enjoyable with age.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Every day this year, I will be examining the first pages of random comics. This month I will be doing theme weeks, with each week devoted to comics from one decade. This week's decade: the 1960s! Today's page is from Wonder Woman #183, which was published by DC (although the indicia reads "National Periodical Publications, Inc.") and is cover dated July/August 1969. This scan is from Diana Prince: Wonder Woman volume 1, which was published in 2008. Enjoy!
In issue #178, Wonder Woman went shopping. This was apparently a huge deal. In issue #179 she renounced her "mystic skills," and by this issue, she was caught up in all sorts of international intrigue with I Ching, her Chinese mentor, in what can justly be called The Most Awesome Wonder Woman Era Of All Time (Including The Current Whatever-The-Hell-Azzarello-Is-Doing Era). By this issue, Mike Sekowsky was writing and drawing the book, and Dick Giordano was inking it. I assume someone was coloring and lettering it, but DC doesn't tell us who it was. So sad!
This era of Wonder Woman is surprisingly progressive, but you can't really tell from this page. At the end of last issue, Diana learned that the man she thought she loved was actually lying to her, and Sekowsky recaps that in the first drawing at the top of the page. Sekowsky points out that Diana's powers apparently "insulated" her from shock and emotion, which is kind of odd. She clocks Reggie (who was working for Dr. Cyber) in the face, and I'd be surprised if that shot didn't kill him (we never see him again, so perhaps she did, although it's not like Diana is some cold-blooded killer who would snap someone's neck without even thinking about it, right, so surely she pulled her punch here?) It's a dramatic drawing, but it doesn't really do a good job of leading our eye, as the next "scene" is on the right of the focal point of Diana's slap/punch … but this is a flashback, because Diana struck Reggie in the previous issue, so Sekowsky is recapping to a point. The scene really begins on the right, as I Ching calls to Diana as he bends over to help Reggie (why he does that when Reggie admitted he was a bad guy is unknown) and we see Diana in the foreground, running away and saying she never wants to see Reggie again. Sekowsky creates a nice line right here – it leads to the caption box in the center of the page, which leads to the wide shot of London and Diana running through the night. Sekowsky does a good job with the scene – it's raining in London, so Big Ben is indistinct in the background, while Diana and the foreground are colored regretful blue. In the final "panel," Diana leans on a stone wall (she's on a bridge) and bemoans her fate. Sekowsky isn't terribly subtle, but he does get across the major point – now that Diana has no more power, she's "human," and subject to all the swirling emotions that come with it. It's certainly melodramatic, but in one page, Sekowsky does a fairly good job showing us the issues Diana is experiencing. Sekowsky doesn't address this too much – on the next page, Diana is summoned to Paradise Island to fight for her mother's life – but it's a nice try!
So that's the 1960s. Lots of interesting comics, a lot of progression in the medium, and still some stereotypical attitudes toward anyone who wasn't a white male, which, to be fair, a lot of comics still have some issues with. But it was a pretty cool decade! Tomorrow we move onto the 1970s, which, as we all know from Greg Hatcher, is THE GREATEST ERA OF COMICS EVER!!!!!
You can already find some 1970s comics in the archives, if you need to prepare yourself!
Why would the shot have killed him if she didn't have her powers anymore?
The two-part story in WW #183-184 is to my mind Sekowsky's high point on the book, and it's actually a better story than this opening might suggest, and much more of a traditional WW tale. (This is the one where she returns to Paradise Island post-depowering, as a matter of fact.) Looking back from the year 2012 with the benefit of hindsight, though, the Sekowsky era represents a longstanding trend where a new creator would take over Wonder Woman and almost invariably decide "Eh, I don't feel like paying attention to anything that's been done before, I'll just throw everything out the window and start fresh." Not a bad thing by any means, but it seems to afflict WW more than any other character…
Dave: She was studying martial arts, and she hits him right in the chin, so she could have killed him! But I was making the joke about Wonder Woman snapping Maxwell Lord's neck more, so there's that.
Richard (why the name change?): Yeah, it does seem to happen to Wonder Woman more, perhaps because she's defined more by her mission than her personality? Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are defined by their personal circumstances, but creators feel they can interpret Diana's "mission" however they like. I don't know, but she does get jerked around quite a bit.
This was the era where Wonder Woman became The Avengers (UK), with Diana as Emma Peel and I Ching (why that name in particular?) as John Steed, plus a bunch of "I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar" Germain Greer/Helen Reddy pop-feminism.
It was actually fun. And you can't go wrong with Steed and Mrs. Peel.

Brian Whitfield Hospital in Demopolis, Ala., is planning to hire at least four dozen more people.
"In addition to the 30 jobs that we added to the community last year, this year we're projected through September to add about 40 more," said Arthur Evans. "So in the last two years we've added 70 jobs to the economy here in Demopolis."
Hospital officials say the added jobs are needed because the hospital is experiencing a more than 50 percent jump in outpatient services rendered within the last two years.
In turn, this boom in business is generating yearly about $51 million in revenue for the area.
"Every dollar turns seven times. It goes usually to the bank and then it's spent at the grocery stores. Then the people at the grocery store take that dollar and go out and buy gas and then they go out and buy food," said Mayor Cecil Williams.
The hospital also plans to bring cardiologists on board in the near future, and while many rural hospitals no longer deliver babies, Brian Whitfield never stopped.
"Getting doctors in from different places, specialists and things like that, helped to keep us open," said Jeanette Allen, a nurse in the maternity ward, explaining that the hospitals were able to get doctors.
And staying open is something that Brian Whitfield says it is dedicated to doing. Some rural communities are losing their hospitals, but this one has a 99-bed capacity and plans to add at least two or three more surgical suites in the near future.

Your cable bill may look a little different the next time it arrives in the mail. Comcasts purchase of Adelphia transfers nearly five million subscribers to the nation's top two cable T-V operators.
The 17 billion dollar deal ends Adelphia's cable operations, once the fifth largest in the country, but Adelphia says its nearly 13-thousand employees will be transferring to Philadelphia-based Comcast and Time Warner Cable.
Comcast and Time Warner will also swap cable systems to consolidate their market positions.

One larger 2inch golden discus had half his tail sheered away- this did not happen during shipping- this fish was skin and bones and half dead by the time it arrived on my doorstep. I also ordered one blue snakeskin 2 inch and the fish came to me at just about one inch from top to bottom- it was basically just fry. Keith does not sell what he advertises for.. i can see him sending one a bit smaller than 2inches but this wasn't even close with two of the 4 fish I had ordered.
The other one inch discus a "red scribbled discus" was a bit larger than the snakeskin and more colored in but the side fins were horribly deformed.. it looks like they are broken but he makes his way still around my tank. The 4th 2inch fish came in looking great.. it was a beautiful red leopard discus that was .. ull never believe - actually 2 inches. However I noticed right when I put him in my tank he had small bubbles sticking to him... 24 hours later a clear as day case of ich all over his body. 48 hours later the fish was dead and I had my first ich outbreak in over 7 years of this hobby.
In the end of the outbreak- to which [I] am still giving treatment 4 discus had perished either from ich or from sensitivity to the medicine. I send keith an email right after I received my fish telling him that they had arrived and that I was please that they were all survived and I was indeed very happy with my red leopard. 2 days later I was furious and I just couldnt wrap my head around why keith would send me diseased, deformed, small fish. He's not in it because he loves fish he's in it for the money and theres a reason why his prices are just a bit cheaper than the rest. I sent him a follow up email about everything I had just explained and here is what "keith" the big man himself said in response.

But to me thats not enough - tell your friends and make sure they dont order here as well. Keith needs to be put out of business for good. For our sake and for all the fish he has trapped diseased and dyeing.

Dale Barbour -- Book LaunchWednesday May 18 2011 7:00 pm, Winnipeg, Grant Park in the Travel Alcove
Launch of Winnipeg Beach: Leisure and Courtship in a Resort Town, 1900-1967 (University of Manitoba Press).
During the first half of the twentieth century, Winnipeg Beach proudly marketed itself as the Coney Island of the West, drawing 40,000 visitors a day. In Winnipeg Beach, Dale Barbour takes us into the heart of this turn of the century resort area and introduces us to some of the people who worked, played and lived in the resort. Through photographs, interviews, and newspaper clippings he presents a lively history of this resort area and its surprising role in the evolution of local courtship and dating practices, from the commoditization of the courting experience by the CP Railway through their Moonlight Specials, through the development of an elaborate amusement area that encouraged public dating, and to its eventual demise amid the moral panic over sexual behavior during the 1950s and 60s.
Dale Barbour grew up on a farm in Balmoral, Manitoba and made a few trips of his own to Winnipeg Beach as a youth. A former journalist, he is currently completing a PhD in history at the University of Toronto.

The Tempest
by William Shakespeare
Analysis: Steaminess Rating
Exactly how steamy is this story?
There's not a lot of explicit sex in this play, even between the two characters who are in love. When Miranda and Ferdinand meet secretly, they hold hands, and when Prospero sends them alone together to his dark cell, they play chess. Seriously.
Maybe this is because of Prospero's warning about what will happen to Ferdinand if he's all up in the marriage bed before the marrying's done, but in these kinds of conversations we catch a glimpse of how sex is discussed in the play. Prospero explicitly tells Ferdinand there's to be no fooling around before the marriage. Ferdinand, instead of being like "Dude, you're her Dad!" decides to tell Prospero that, when the wedding day comes, he's sure it will seem a super-long day, because he's so itchy to get into bed with Miranda.
Miranda has already suffered an attempted rape by Caliban, and Stefano hears about her in relation to the fact that she'll breed well. Besides Ferdinand's anticipation of his wedding night, sex is referenced as a good means to breed—this is the animal (or natural) way to view the act, instead of the courtly, romantic way.
The other sexual references in the play are mostly made in jest. Prospero teases that his wife was virtuous, and though he couldn't get a DNA test, he trusts that Miranda is the issue of his seed. A drunken Stefano sings a dirty sailor's song about Kate, who would let a tailor "scratch her where she itched." So that's a pretty good look at sex in the play—it's present, but under the skin of the text.

Divining the future of the network
The Rise of the Developer
Mention NoOps, and you're sure to start an argument. But terminology aside, this is a coming trend to which ITs should pay attention.
Fewer terms can anger denizens of the IT community faster than "NoOps." This short innocuous term has set executives at major online companies at odds with each other and has launched a highly polarized debate on the role of operations within the enterprise – particularly an enterprise that's rapidly moving away from traditional data centers and into the cloud.

It's very unlikely that web designers are going to be replaced by computers in the near, or far, future, but there are some interesting developments in the world of automation that could make your job easier, or at the very least, more interesting. One of the more ephemeral developments has come via Google's "Dream" Code, which is based off a rather complex neural net that the company utilizes in its image search and recognition technology. By essentially telling the program to find an image of something specific in an image that doesn't actually have that detail, the coding will actually enhance edges and "create" that image where it wasn't originally featured.
How does this all actually come out in practice? If you've ever looked at the sky and seen a group of clouds, and then imagined what shapes those clouds might be, you could define certain parts to be an arm, or a leg, until you have the shape of a rabbit in your mind. With the case of Google's Dream code, the image of a rabbit shape would be enhanced, and made very "real." The code can find images of dogs in abstract galaxy shots taken by satellites, or turn a selfie into a surreal collection of neon eyes. Whatever the outcome, this amusing novelty is actually part of a larger, fascinating development in automation, and one that could have some serious implications for web design.
Recognition is the Key
One of the hurdles faced by artificial intelligence is the actual ability to recognize what it's looking at. Google, and other companies involved in software and artificial intelligence, have been going to great lengths to create programs that have an easier time understanding what an image holds.
For web design, although we aren't quite there yet, there may be some interesting tools and opportunities for developers. Imagine being able to create not only responsive, resizing websites, but to also create entirely unique responsive graphics based on choices that a user is making. For example, if your site sells certain gourmet foods, an intelligent image selector may "reimagine" the site's graphical layout to put more emphasis on those foods in image selections, while maintaining your own parameters for color, shape, and more. In other words, the machine could act like the subconscious of your visitor.
The implications are even more interesting for advertising. If you can imagine ads that are unique to each visitor, based off of recognition of different information that your site has received about time of day, habit, and even time spent browsing or reading a particular article, it becomes easier to picture just how effective a "smart ad" might be. It's just one of the ways in which a machine with image recognition could make a difference in web design. In time, sites could be entirely customizable based on actual user activity– a future which could lead to some fascinating design choices and plenty of work for the designers themselves.

Lakshmi Rai Open For Intimate/Steamy Scenes
Every actress in her career comes across many challenges and one of the common one is whether she could do glamarous roles and steamy scenes. While some refuse to do citing their uncomfortableness, there are few, who could shed all their inhibitions to be part of such intimate scenes. Well, South actress Lakshmi Rai too has revealed that she doesn't mind being bold.
Lakshmi Rai has said that she is open to do intimate scenes. But she has conditions to do such sequences. Her only concern is that the scene should not be forcefully included to the script. As we all know, many filmmakers add steamy scenes to attract mass audience. Especially, to draw the public attention, they come up with those spicy ideas.
The glam doll is willing to do if the script demands it. "If the role demands, I have no qualms in doing so. But if the scenes are just to add masala to the film or to attract the audience, then I won't do it," the Times of India quotes the actress as saying. Lakshmi Rai adds that acting is her passion and she wants to do justice to her roles. Continue reading the story on the slideshow...

On September 15, 2012 a ribbon cutting by Biloxi Mayor A.J. Holloway, Harrison County Supervisor Windy Swetman, Biloxi City Councilman George Lawrence, Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art Board President Larry Clark and Emeritus Board Member Jerry O'Keefe officially opened the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum's new City of Biloxi Center for Ceramics. The Center is the fourth and largest of five Frank Gehry designed buildings. The 11,249 square foot structure is clad in brick, white stucco, and stainless steel. The four floors of the Center house a professional pottery studio, programming space, community meeting space, administrative offices, and a storage vault. Hurricane doors protect the first floor of the structure and the Kiln and Equipment Bay.

The ribbon cutting kicked off Art Fair ExtraOHRdinaire, a grand two-day festival of creativity and talent in the arts across the museum campus - something special, fun, exciting and interesting for both adults and children. The festival featured artists and craftsmen who demonstrated stone carving, wood turning, blacksmithing, pottery making, ceramic sculpture, boat building, cast net making, small glass blowing, mixed media sculpture, and weaving. Artwork and art wares were for sale and hands-on art took place in the Family Art Tent. Also available were local cuisine, books signings, poster signings, film viewings, gallery exhibits, and a wine and cheese café. Live music was provided by The House Katz, Sista Jazz Band, Creole String Beans, the Magnolia Chamber Orchestra, Lisa Mills, King Edward Blues Band, and Walter Wolfman Washington and the Roadmasters. For craft beer lovers, the wOHRt Beer Garden featured the limited edition "wOHRt 2012" craft beer, an American Red Lager.
