text: By Emily Stephenson WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Hillary Clinton called on Friday for voters to reject the "bigotry" of Donald Trump's White House campaign, releasing a television ad criticizing his efforts to appeal to black voters and saying she was reaching out to people from all parties who are troubled by his candidacy. The ad shows video of Trump's controversial pitch to black voters, in which the Republican candidate urges them to support him by asking, "What do you have to lose?" It also shows headlines about a racial discrimination lawsuit the New York real estate mogul faced in the 1970s. Clinton's presidential campaign said the ad, released a day after she gave a speech accusing Trump of fueling America's "radical fringe," would air in the hotly contested states of Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

So I run a decent photoblog site called lovebryan.com. I've been doing it for a few years now but I've been using Cutenews and I know it can be better. I'm switching to WordPress but there are a few logistics I need to figure out.
First off, I host blogs from about a dozen different people. I'd like to continue to do this but I'd like them to have their own image libraries since it's such a photo heavy site. Second of all, I'd like each blogger to have their own page with a customized sidebar and blogroll. Third, I'd like to the front page of the website to feature excerpts of recent blogs.
So I need any and all advice to make this switch happen. Should I be using WordPress MU? What themes would structurally word best on this site? What plugins would enable multiple image libraries? What other add-ons would work well for a photo blog site?
I really appreciate the help and I apologize for being so green.

It is about time for my lo to switch to a convertible carseat because she is about to outgrow her infant one.Ā So I went to babies r us to try some out in my car and none of them fit!!! The only way I could get one to fit was to push my passenger seat up the entire way making no room for someone to sit there.Ā I would like to be able to have people sit in the front so I don't feel like a taxi.Ā The other person in my car the most is my boyfriend who gets carsick and can't ride in the back seat but he also can't drive because I have a stick shift car and he doesn't know how to drive one.Ā I have been trying to teach him but every time we try lo gets fussy and we have to go home.Ā So having him sit in the back isn't much of an option.Ā Getting a different car is not an option now either.Ā So my question is for all the other moms with smaller cars what are you using for a convertible carseat?Ā What fits, what should I stay away from, any other suggestions, etc. Any advice is greatly appreciated! TIA!

I have a 07' chevy cobalt and i have a Graco smart seat all in one yes it is a big carseat and my backseat isn't all that big yes i did have to move from passenger seat up a bit but it fit i found if i put it in the middle it actually fit just fine without hardly moving the seats at all i am 5'7 mostly legs and i sat comfortable that way but my husband is 6'4 so it didn't work in the middle for us but i do reccomend trying out the graco smart seat
Try a Combi...unless we get a bigger vehicle pretty soon, it is probably what we're going to get.
Good luck!!
P.S.┬Ā On the link I just sent ^^^ there is even a picture showing THREE of these bad boys lined up (forward facing) in a backseat!!!

Fruit Parfaits
When I did my review last week of Turkish Delight, Joanna of SugarSavvy.net suggested that I try Aplets & Cotlets. Since I'm allergic to walnuts, I did a little digging on their site and found that they have some nutless products and then I fortuitously found some at the 99 Cent Only Store over the weekend.
I'm already partial to Turkish Delight and I figured this was an American version and it pretty much is. They're American flavors and they sounded interesting on the package:
Cherry Amaretto - oh, well, this one just combines two of my least favorite flavors! Actually, it wasn't as bad as all that. It was more like a cherry pie (which I like) and had little cherry bits in it. It didn't have much of an amaretto note, so I'm guessing folks who like amaretto would be upset by the false advertising, but I was thankful.
Apple Spice - an interesting idea but not very apple-y or very spicy. It was sweet and had a nice kind of apple pie scent, but not much flavor to go with it.
Orange Ginger - this one is the star and if I could buy a package of just this, I probably would. The orange rind bits were noticeable and provide a zesty and sometimes bitter snap. Not much ginger burn or spice to it, but a good earthy flavor.
Strawberry Conserve - very sweet but at the same time intensely fragrant without any sort of artificial note to it. No tartness, just all the sweet berry notes. Quite a few seeds in there too.
The strangest thing about this package was the array. The package was a tray with nine slots in it. But there were four flavors. So which one do you think had a bonus? The other odd thing was that each pair of flavors looked the same. It turns out that the bonus piece was Strawberry Conserve. I have no idea if yours will be the same.
The texture missed on actually being Turkish Delight, as it was a bit denser and more flavored. The candies are covered in fine granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar, so they're not at all messy. They're not really a candy that I would sit and munch on while watching TV or a movie, but I think it'd be nice to serve with tea. I'm kind of curious now to try their other varieties, especially the mint and true Lokum. However, the sizes they sell on the website are a little large for my desire to just sample, so I'll keep my eye out for these smaller packages in stores.
Note: the website sells these in a section called "Nut Free", however, if you have severe nut allergies, the package notes that the candies may contain traces of peanuts and other nuts.

Dylan's Candy Bar and Candy Bars
One of the most talked-about candy stores in New York City has to be Dylan's Candy Bar. Unlike Economy Candy, Dylan's is all about display and experience. Also unlike Economy Candy: you pay a premium.
Located on Third Avenue at 60th Street - it's a tony address - though not quite Park Avenue it is kitty-corner from Bloomingdale's. If I could compare the store to something it would be FAO Schwartz. The store is brightly lit and on two levels. The street level boasts a large ice cream bar and featured huge Easter displays when I visited. The ceiling fixtures and shelves are candy themed, with large panels looking like some sort of vine of lollipops growing into the ceiling and large rainbow colored candy canes.
Dylan's Candy Bar sells a huge range of products, both edible and wearable. The big feature, of course, is candy. The cornerstone is bulk candy and the bins are everywhere. They had a huge selection of all the sugar candy you can think of: gummis, Jelly Belly, Dubble Bubble flavored gumballs and licorice. They have chocolate too, from M&Ms (Colorworks), chocolate covered Oreos and malted milk balls as well as their own line of fine chocolates and flavored Belgian chocolate bars.
There were plenty of folks on hand to help out, none of the lines were very long (I expected the place to be crowded before Easter, but I did make sure to go on a weekday at lunch instead of on the weekend). The salesfolk seemed knowledgeable about the inventory too, which is a pretty big accomplishment with such a wide number of products. The prices for the bulk candies ran about $9.99 and they had some funky stuff, not just in the bulk bins but some fun displays. They had a HUGE selection of PEZ and a great big display of favorite candies chosen by famous people on the lower level. (Frankly, I don't care much what famous people eat ... I'll probably care when they ask me to do a custom mix.) There's lots to look at and do in the store and I saw some children running around having the time of their lives (and their parents looked pretty pleased, too).
Their website features quite a few regional candy bars, so I was hoping to find an Idaho Spud, but it seems that they were fresh out. But I was able to find my Nut Goodie there and I also picked up a few other items that I'll write about soon. There were also some funky items in the bins, like banana flavored gummi bears and a large selection of candy sticks in a wide variety of flavors and lollipops of all shapes, sizes and colors.
As I mentioned, Dylan's Candy Bar has their own line of chocolate bars, so I picked up a nice assortment. They come in 10 different flavor combinations, but I picked of the little 1.75" tasting squares as an introduction:
Dark Raspberry - it was a nice dark chocolate bar. Not terribly sweet with a good overtone of raspberry essence to it, but none of the tart bite. The berry flavors mixed well with the earthy and fruity notes of the chocolate itself.
Dark - glossy and dark, there was no indication of the cocoa content here or on the website. It was nice, a little on the smoky side, but very smooth and a tad bit sweet.
Hazelnut - this bar is in the Guanduja-style, the first ingredient is hazelnut paste and the rest of the bar is made up of milk chocolate. It's soft and creamy and a bit sticky feeling. The overwhelming flavor here is not the hazelnuts but the whole milk powder. The nuts add a level of satisfaction to the bar, but the milkiness just beats the nuttiness out of it to my dismay.
Dark Espresso (unwrapped) - a nice snap but a fair bit of grain in this bar from the ground coffee in it. The coffee flavor itself was good but completely overwhelmed the chocolate flavors and it seemed much sweeter than the Raspberry bar.
Can you tell I'm underwhelmed?
Maybe it started with their frustrating website, maybe I'm spoiled, but I want more info on my purchases. (I had a similar experience in the store.) Maybe I have no idea what a clodhopper is and the clothing ... maybe they could give me info on the fiber content. I want to know how much is in the package, and I want some indication of ingredients.
Maybe the article I read last year about Dylan Lauren rubbed me the wrong way and that's colored my evaluation of the store. The NY Times line that got me was this:
What's most interesting is that as I was there, I did not see "The Candy Girl" shopping there. I'm not the sexy, young, thin woman she pursues as a demographic (though maybe two out of four counts). As much as she might be positioning herself that way, the store is about kids - the displays obviously acknowledge that as there was quite a bit of the merchandise marketed to the under-four-foot set. While the store makes it socially acceptable for an adult to come in there and make a purchase(s), a destination like this will always be about children.
The other frustration is the price. Candy bars like the Nut Goodie I picked up are $1.49 and the bulk candy, such as Swedish Fish, in a plain plastic bag is $9.99 a pound. The same candy bar at Economy Candy is $.69 and probably about $1.00 at any of the many corner stores in NYC. The same Swedish Fish at Economy Candy were $3.49 a pound. What are you paying for here? Convenience of the address? Packaging? Isn't that what Ralph Lauren has been selling us for years anyway? Except RL wasn't taking Levi's 501s and slapping his own logo on them and selling them for $100 a pair. Is Dylan's Candy Bar doing that by taking other brands of candy and just dumping them into a clear plastic paint can?
Though I struggle with the the premium I pay at Vosges or Jacques Torres (which is like a fantasy land as well) I can rationalize it because they own their merchandise; they formulated it, they invented it, they make it. When I go into a mega-mart like Target or Toys-r-Us I expect better prices. Dylan's just throws all of those expectations out the window. Sure, they have their own line of chocolates, but they sell everyone else's too. They're just selling you a brand, a bag and a logo. Sure, I have a similar complaint with the candy stores in malls where everything is in bulk bins and they're selling it all for $8 a pound, whether you're picking up plain old peppermint hard candies, gummi bears or M&Ms. But when I'm in Santa Rosa, CA, my candy store choices are limited and I accept the premium for variety. Dylan's is in NYC, one of the most candy cities I've ever visited and Economy Candy is a scant four miles away.
I did enjoy browsing the displays, but the frugal part of me couldn't get over the prices or the sheer gall of selling something that probably cost about $2 a pound wholesale for $10. There were candies there that I haven't been able to find in other stores, so I appreciate that there were unique items there and there was a wide price range as well so you could get out of there with a bag of candy for under $5 with careful decision making. Part of the attraction of candy for me has always been its affordability and Dylan's takes that part of the fun away. It's no longer a simple pleasure, it's an expensive one.
As the Candy Blogger, I'll probably return. But as a simple candy consumer, it's not a place I'd patronize. I found my second home in New York, it's Economy Candy.

Necco Smoothies
Oh dreadful day, I'm gonna just relieve you of any curiosity about these. They're just bad.
Necco Smoothies are a new set of flavors of the good old fashioned Necco wafers. Smoothies, I'm guessing, are supposed to be fruit shake flavors. The package says: Blueberry, Banana Caramel, Tropical, Peach and Strawberry Creme.
They smelled really bad. I don't think they would smell bad individually, but as a group the combination of the sweet, artificial fruit scents was just nauseating. Like a set of cheap candles.
The colors just weren't doing it for me either. The chalky tablets looked more like antacids or perhaps some barrettes I had when I was in middle school. But I closed my eyes and went for the taste test:
White = Tropical: What does that mean? I think it was supposed to be pina colada or something with coconut in it. It was mild and pleasant. Not overtly flavorful, but simply sweet.
Yellow = Banana Caramel: Hey, this one's pretty good, it reminds me of the long-lost Wacky Wafers. It's not all banana, there's a little hint of the caramelized sugar in there.
Orange = Peach: I know I mention my feelings for cherry flavored things from time to time, and this means that I've neglected my detestment for all things peach flavored. Don't get me wrong, I love peaches. I just don't like peach flavored things.
Blue = Blueberry: things flavored like blueberries never taste like blueberries. In fact, blueberries have very little flavor to me; they're all about the texture. Sure, they're sweet and tangy, but when you close your eyes and forget about what you're eating, they taste kind of like iced tea. Maybe it's the antioxidants or polyphenols or whatever in there that tea and blueberries have in common, but I'm happy to eat fresh blueberries but I don't want blueberry flavored things.
Pink = Strawberry Creme: The strawberry flavor is very strong and has a slight tang to it, like a yogurt. It wasn't offensive or off balance like the peach, but it wasn't really that pleasant either. The chalkiness of the candy itself and the attempt at a creme flavor just reek of insincerity.
Now, I might be alone here in my estimation for these. Amy, my neighbor and co-worker seems to think that these are pretty good. She liked the Peach, she liked the Blueberry! Hey, that makes me the best next door neighbor ever ... all the flavors I don't like, she'll eat.
What I've always liked about the original Neccos is that I will eat all the flavors (except clove). So there's value there. Same with Lifesavers, SweeTarts, Skittles and Starbursts. Sure, there are flavors I don't like, but it's usually one. If I'm not going to eat 3/5 of the flavors in a roll of Smoothies, it's a total loss as far as I'm concerned.
Anyway, so you can see from the photo what the color/flavor distribution in this roll was. So I've eaten all the Banana and the Tropical, and I'm left with this huge pile of Strawberry, Peach and Blueberry. I wonder if they'll make good sidewalk chalk?
Note: Do take a moment and visit the Necco website. It is a little behind (highlighting Easter candies, but maybe they're just letting people come look at the stuff because they're still buying it on sale) but it's nicely done and provides a lot more information about their history and candies than many other sites run by bigger companies. There's even a section that shows how Necco Wafers are made.

Great Pumpkin!
You know if I'm not eating candy or writing about candy, I'm out on the internet reading about candy and looking at candy photos.
Last week I stumbled across two incredible sets of photos on Flickr, here's a small sample:
Joshua has over 175 photos of individual pieces of Halloween candy, both wrapped and then unwrapped.
I emailed him, and he gave me the story behind it. He collected a barrel of candy (50 gallons!) for Halloween as part of his work as a youth pastor. They did a huge challenge called the Pumpkin Hunt for middle and high school aged kids, kind of like a treasure hunt:
Wow, way harder than Trick-or-Treat, but it sounds a lot more fun. I wonder if the winner got the whole 50 gallons?
Fran's Gray Salt Caramels
About a month ago a friend went to Seattle. Being a good friend she asked me if I wanted anything (knowing it would be a candy request). I told her that several people recommended Fran's Chocolates, specifically their salt caramels. I even emailed her the locations of their shops to help her find the place.
Well, as luck would have it, she was up there for a panel discussion and one of the hospitality gifts was this package of Gray Salt Caramels ... so they must be famous!
The side of the package heralds them as "Award Winning! Soft butter caramels sprinkled with flavorful gray sea salt harvested off the Brittany Coast."
I had to do some digging, I saw on their website that the caramels won the 2003 NASFT Outstanding Confection award, but I had no clue what NASFT was. Turns out it's the The National Association for the Specialty Food Trade, so I guess it's like the Oscars (tm) for fancy food. (The run the fancy food shows in San Francisco, Chicago and New York ... something for me to put on my list o' things to do.)
The caramels are covered in dark chocolate which helps to highlight the flavors. The caramel is sweet and the chocolate is smooth and creamy and the salt make it all pop. If anything, the salt makes it all taste creamier and richer. The salt itself had a more musky, deep flavor to it than regular table salt (yes, I tried the salt grains alone).
Salted Caramels are all the rage now, I've seen quite a few varieties in the past year or so, but I guess Fran's was one of the first to present them. The large salt grains give a good textural addition besides the obvious salty pop. They're very satisfying and vibrant on the tongue, but they don't beg to be eaten over and over again. I had the package for quite a while and didn't eat them all in one sitting, nor did I want to.
They're fantastic, but they feel very special. I wouldn't want a whole box of them, but I'd like a box of Fran's candy and have a few of these sprinkled in (like this mix).
I'm definitely keen on trying other chocolates in Fran's line. You can read more about the history of this Seattle Chocolatier on their website.
Kate at Accidental Hedonist also posted about these last week! So at David Lebovitz's suggestion, I ate the last one upside-down, so that that salt hit my tongue first ... quite intense!

Jacques Torres
One of the must-see chocolate places in NYC is Jacques Torres. Even if you're not a fan of their chocolate or have little money, it's still an event. There are two locations in New York, one in Brooklyn and one on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Billed as Chocolate Haven, it truly is a delight for the eyes. The factory is wide open to witness from the street as they craft their handmade chocolate bars and when I was there they were packaging all of their hand-cast Easter goodies. From inside the store you get more than a view, you also get the scents and sounds.
But the best way to appreciate the innards of chocolate making though is from the Chocolate Haven shop. The glass walls enclose this little slice of sweetness and there's ample room to move around and stop for a cup of hot chocolate at the chocolate bar.
I had a cup of custom blended Wicked (spiced chocolate) and Orange. It was smooth and sweet but not at all sticky. However, it was so rich and the portion (the smallest) was far too much for me to finish. As much as I tried, I couldn't manage more than half of it.
Again, a little cup of hot chocolate helps me to keep my wits about me in such a place, it satisfies the chocolate craving and keeps me from going nuts and buying everything or gobbling it up as soon as I get away from the cash register with my purchases.
These little bunnies are just cute as bunnies. They're each a little bigger than my thumb (which is kinda small) and were a good sampling of the Jacques Torres chocolate. The package was very light and as I guessed, they're hollow ... so the whole thing weighed about 1.4 ounces. It cost $5.
The Dark Chocolate bunny tasted much like the hot chocolate. Smooth and rich with a slight dry finish, it wasn't terribly complex but had some good woodsy/smoky qualities. I'm guessing this was the house blend variety of their chocolate which is 60% cocoa. The Milk Chocolate was quite sweet and has the European flavor to it, it was also very smooth but with a more fudgy quality to it. It's one of those milk chocolates that begs you to eat more of it. The White Chocolate was really quite nice too. It's true white chocolate in the sense that it's made with cocoa butter and not tropical oils. It smelled very sweet and in fact tasted that way too, but had a slight caramel/vanilla note to it that made it much better than a bowlful of sugar.
They were all very nice, but for the price, first, I'd want solid chocolate. At this rate a pound of little bunnies would be over $50. I understand that more intense products like truffles demand a higher price, but these hardly qualified for such a premium. Not when the single bars of 3.5 ounces sell for $4.
This was my favorite purchase. I almost missed these too, they were placed up at the register and if I hadn't already picked out the bunnies, I wouldn't have even bought anything.
These are candied slices of orange that are then dipped in dark chocolate. They are absolutely gorgeous confections. I just couldn't resist buying them because I knew they would photograph well. Luckily I love candied citrus peel, so I was really looking forward to these. They were just as dense and rich as I'd hoped. The orange slices were soft and juicy and not too sweet. The rind carried strong orange essences without the slightest bit of bitterness. A well-candied citrus rind bears more fruit flavor than a marmalade, which often tastes of sugar syrup.
I've not tried the rest of the Jacques Torres line of chocolates, so I can't comment on the truffles or other chocolate covered goodies. They're pricey though, but the visit to their shop provides a bit more value to the brand. I give them higher marks than the sole merits of the chocolate in the bunnies, the orange was extraordinary and gives me the confidence to recommend the other chocolate covered goodies I saw. There were fun items like chocolate covered corn flakes, graham crackers and cranberries and traditional fare like apricots, ginger and pretzels. Where the Scharffen Berger line has always been rather traditional in its expression (and I love that) I don't care so much for the chocolate, just for the filling. Here the chocolate worked as the perfect complement to the orange and I reckon it would make even pedestrian items like corn flakes tasty.
Jacques Torres Chocolate Haven
Pearson's Nut Goodie
I was prompted to seek out this Pearson's bar after enjoying both the Pearson's Salted Nut Roll and later the Bun Bars (especially the Maple Bun).
But here's the question, how is this one different from the Bun Maple? Both are a maple fondant center covered in peanuts and milk chocolate. I had to taste it to find out.
There is no difference in size, they're both 1.75 ounces and their packaging is sized identically. In fact, they look strikingly similar.
But they don't taste the same. I don't know what to attribute this to, but the Nut Goodie is neither a Maple Bun nor a Vanilla Bun. Since I had the wrapper from the Bun still lying around I did a comparison:
Maple Bun Bar.....................................Nut Goodie
So there you have it, they're different. The Maple Bun, though it lists no maple flavoring, had a stronger mapleness to it, but the Nut Goodie is no slouch. It's a good bar. The fondant center is a little more dense and has a good sweetness with a balanced slight hit of salt that brings out a more subtle maple/toasted note to it. The nuts are top notch and the milk chocolate is smooth and sweet and of good quality.
I doubt I'll see many of these around, but if you're a Maple Bun fan and you can't find those, this might be a tasty substitute. I'd still like to see these made in a bar form instead of the plop, as it's a bit harder to eat.

Pierre Marcolini Chocolates
On my recent tour of New York City Chocolatiers, I took as many suggestions from readers as my poor blistered feet would accept. Luckily Pierre Marcolini on Park Avenue was only a few blocks from the office I was working at. It's hardly a place the Candy Blogger belongs, after all, I'm just a girl in search of pretty sugar. It doesn't have to be fancy and I certainly don't care for those upscale prices. But candy is an adventure!
The Pierre Marcolini shop is everything you'd expect. From the elegant Tiffany-style storefront & rich wood paneling to the pretty counters and displays of chocolates. But, the sales staff was friendly and knowledgeable and hardly turned up their nose a someone who wanted to partake of their smallest box.
While I was getting the lay of the land, I ordered a small cup of hot chocolate, what was most surprising was that this demitasse was the least expensive cup of hot chocolate I had my entire stay in NYC ($2.50). Even though it was a scant 2 or 3 ounces, it was plenty to satisfy me and let me know what I was in store for with their more solid chocolate offerings.
Massepain Nature - "Paste of ground almonds with a powdered sugar in dark chocolate" - My most adventurous choice was this marzipan. While I was talking to the young woman behind the counter, I asked if it had a strong amaretto, and she replied that it did not, it was much more on the chocolate and almond side of things. I went for it. It was a rather mousy looking little chocolate, but maybe that was my prejudice coloring my estimation of its beauty. The marzipan was soft and almost crumbly without being oily or even at all sweet. I'd like to call it sandy, but it wasn't quite that either. It was very almondy but had a rather obvious amaretto taste to it. I didn't find it unpleasant but certainly not the first thing I'd opt for in the future. The most surprising part was how filling this was. I was hardly hungry after tasting this one.
Coeur Framboise - "Dark chocolate raspberry infused ganache in a white chocolate shell" - these were positively radiant, like cabochon garnets, pomegranate seeds or candied apples. Inside is a dark chocolate ganache with raspberry essence, covered in white chocolate and then slicked with the translucent red gloss. The berry flavor was lovely, not terribly perfumy, but sweet and smooth with some very strong chocolate notes and a slight tang to it from both the fruit and the cocoa.
Quatre Epices - "Infusion of cinnamon, clove, cardamom and ginger" - I wasn't sure how the clove was going to play on this one. The center was a little fudgy and not buttery like a truffle and I wondered if I didn't eat them quickly enough. The spices combined well, with ginger playing a big part without causing a lot of burn. I didn't really detect any clove at all, but then again, I didn't get much of a cardamom note either. The texture felt more like a marzipan than a truffle in the end.
Th? Citron - "Dark chocolate ganache infused with tea and fresh pieces of lemon and lime" - May I refer to this as a manly truffle? The tea and citrus was amazing - tart without overpowering the chocolate and it gave the whole thing an "Old Spice" feeling (not in a bad cosmetic sort of way). The acid notes of both the chocolate and lemon and lime played well together with only the slightest sweet hint.
Thym Orange - "Dark chocolate ganache infused with fresh thyme and orange peels" - wow, the thyme here was very strong and reminiscent of the piney tones of rosemary or fresh oregano. They flavors combine well, the dry astringency of the chocolate and the balsam notes of the herbs. I really didn't catch the orange in the mix but I didn't actually miss it.
Violette - "Dark chocolate ganache infused with flowery Violette" - this tasted as lovely as it looked. The violet was not strong or soapy at all, simply fresh and rather reminiscent of berries without the tartness. The flowery feel lasted in my mouth for quite a while and would be a welcome change from coffee-breath.
Pierre Marcolini - "72% cocoa content, combination of beans from the Venezuelan regions Sur de Lago, Carenero and Rio Caraibe" - shockingly buttery and smooth, this one just melted away on my tongue with some gorgeous woodsy notes of oak, black cherry and vanilla. A wonderful way to complete my small box, with a crisp, dry finish.
The quality was wonderful and the packaging spare and elegant. I appreciated that the labels were obvious for most of the candies, so I had no trouble deciphering which was which ... most of the names were printed plainly. The flavor combinations were wonderful though never quite as described as far as I could tell. The whole line felt very masculine, which isn't a good or bad thing, just something noticed after infused chocolates from quite a few places in NYC.

Their website, though it contains wonderful photos and info about all the chocolates they offer is painfully slow because they haven't optimized their images for the web, so consider yourself warned.

Got this when I was wanting to make sure the top of the foundation piers I'm pouring for a deck are level. Didn't want to dump a lot of money into a pro unit. This one looked nice and rudimentary - really, just a standard level with a laser slapped in it. As others commented, if you are using the tripod and rotary base, you'll need some patience to dial it in dead level. I can totally see where a professional contractor would need the time savings of a spendy auto-leveling unit, but for my infrequent use I'd rather spend time than money. The tripod and base probably wouldn't take a lot of daily rough handling either, though it'd be hard to bust the actual level. The line mode is not very bright - not much use outside - but dot mode is quite intense, and I can get what I need done with that.

I bought it for a tile job and thought it would be great to get the first row nice, straight and most importantly , level. It's just too finicky and hard to level. I found I was using the cabinets to check on the laser. Any slight variance and you'll have perfectly straight but unlevel line. The hardest part was getting the level perfectly vertical in the stand, if you don't the entire horizontal line tilts with it. When you do get it level, don't touch it. I'm going to take it back and I'll try the self leveling one to see how it works.

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I'm building a horse arena and need to get the area level. I didn't want to spend several hundred on a high quality transit. I set up this laser last night, in bright daylight, and shot the arena in just a hour or so. I got a good dot over a hundred feet away and easily obtained a map of arena slopes. Very easy to set up and adjust, simply read the instructions, install the batteries, and you're off to the races. Main components include, laser level with leveling bubbles, base unit with three (120 degree apart) vertical adjustments, and tripod with telescoping legs. Also comes with a sturdy plastic carrying case. This little tool is GREAT for the money. Highly recommend to anyone needing a cost effective leveling device for infrequent use. Treat it with care and it will last a long time.

I use the level to prepare the ground for my pool. It is the perfect tool. The tripod and level are of great quality and it is the least expensive laser level.

Glad I bought it. Shot grade in daylight
By edthepilot
from Charleston, SC
I used this at new construction to make sure I had proper run off. Then I used it to lay a foundation. Both in day light 50 feet no problem.
Works as promised
By Dan
from Cary, NC
I have used this to do outside as well as inside jobs. Yes you must be careful in setting it up, but it is not rocket science. It has all the right adjustments and they work. Outside the range I used was over 50 ft and you can see the beam if it is overcast or you head your target so sun is not directly on it. Many of the reviews of this product typical of those where the user didn't read or understand the instructions. this thing works! The only valid negative is that the level does rotate a bit as you clamp it into the head. You can compensate, but it is annoying.
Exactly what I expected
By Jeff the muddler
from Randallstown, MD
The product got thru shipping unscathed. Opened it and, exactly what I expected for the money. It works and will do the job I need it to. A more professional unit would cost ten times what this did. Yes I am very happy to include this in my tool box.

This level is excellent regarless of cost
By Don
from Fort Smith Arkansas
Once setup and leveled this level works perfect. I believe that a human can get the level perfect compared to an expensive self leveler. Can not beat the performance out side or in a building. Compares favorably to units selling for 3 to 4 times as much. I am very pleased .
A real bargain for DYIers
By Semipro DYIer
from Buffalo, NY
First remember that this level costs only $30 on sale. At that price do not expect a pro quality tool. This is for the home handyman DYIer. That said it's a real bargain and very well made for the money. If you follow the instructions and have some patients it's fairly easy to set up.The laser is bright enough for inside work, but might be a bit weak in bright sun. Several reviews complained about the tripod - it's fine and much like a light weight camera tripod. I'm using mine to jack and level floors in a 3000 sq foot house and it's works great.

Report gives Arizona 'D' for financial security of families
WASHINGTON — Arizona earned a D in a national report Wednesday that graded states on their families' financial security in five broad categories.
The report by the Corporation for Enterprise Development said 45 percent of families in Arizona were "liquid-asset poor" — meaning low savings left them vulnerable to a financial shock like the loss of a job.
It was just one element in the financial asset and income measure in the report, which also looked at education, jobs, health care and home ownership. This is the sixth report, which first came out in 2002.
Being liquid-asset poor "is not a problem that is limited for just a small segment of the poorest Americans," said Jennifer Brooks, director of state and local policy for Corporation for Enterprise Development. "This reaches into the middle class."
In Arizona, Brooks said, 25 percent of people making between $52,000 and $87,000 in Arizona don't have three months of savings, as the recession has forced people to dip into their bank accounts.
The average Arizonan also has $12,038 in credit card debt, $1,300 more than the national rate, according to the report.
"That has consequences not just for what can you do today to make ends meet and to save for emergencies, but also about opportunities to build long-term assets," Brooks said.
Another factor counting against Arizona is the relatively high number of "unbanked" households, or those that do not have a savings or checking account. Arizona's rate of 11.6 percent was the fourth-highest in the nation.
Andrea Whitsett, project manager for Arizona Indicators in the Morrison Institute for Public Policy, said many elements in the report were not surprising. But the high credit-card debt and unbanked rates were both interesting, since they touched what "we would think of as higher-earning families."
"It's pretty scary to think that, for even some of our, quote-unquote, more secure families, employed families, that if suddenly they have a health crisis, they have job loss, that they're suddenly in dire straits," Whitsett said.
Cynthia Zwick, executive director of the Arizona Community Action Association, said the report reaffirmed the problems Arizona has had for several years.
"Unfortunately it's exactly what I expected," Zwick said. "That doesn't mean I'm not disappointed."
For the liquid-asset poor in Arizona, Zwick said security is essential. Not having cash available in case of an emergency can throw families into a financial tailspin.
"Even a small amount of money in savings is important for a family that doesn't make much," Zwick said.
She said two of the biggest problems in Arizona are education — not all kids in the state get schooling that prepares them for college — and fair full-time employment that can sustain a family.
Education was just one of the areas where Arizona did poorly: The state ranked 48th for the percentage of bachelor's degrees among non-whites, and last for student-loan defaults.
The state's overall worst category was in health care where it ranked 45th, dragged down by a high average employee premiums and a high percentage of uninsured low-income children — both 49th nationally. Arizona ranked 39th for the percentage of people without health insurance.
Arizona's highest grade came for housing and homeownership, where it got a B. That grade was boosted by top-12 rankings for the number of non-white homeowners, the low percentage of high-cost mortgages, low-income homeowners and the number of one-parent homes.
In addition to measuring states' woes, the report also calls for policy changes it says will help give families a safety net.
The report gave Arizona credit for instituting a direct-lending program last year for first-time homebuyers.
"Policy sets the rules of the game," Brooks said. "It encourages certain behaviors like homeownership and discourages others like asset limits."
But, she said there were still a lot of areas where the state could help, including encouraging savings and providing tax credits so people can hang on to more money.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
While at Small Press Expo in Bethesda, Maryland, I had the pleasure to chat briefly with Roger Langridge, creator of Fred the Clown and the Eisner Award-winning Snarked!
I spoke with the former Muppet Show cartoonist about his current projects — a return to BOOM! Studios with The Musical Monsters of Turkey Hollow and his creator-owned Abigail and the Snowman – what he likes about SPX, and what awesome comics he found at show. He came up with a doozie!
Brigid Alverson: Why are you here at SPX?
Roger Langridge: SPX is the first American convention I ever came to, in 2000.
What book were you debuting there?
I wasn't! I was in the country with my wife, and we were visiting New York together, and we thought we would work in a trip to SPX while we were here. We came just to see it and to check it out and see what it was like. I was at that point working on Fred the Clown as a webcomic, and I showed it around to a few people, and it really fired me up to do self-publishing. The next year I was planning to debut Fred the Clown at SPX 2001, and of course that's the one that was canceled because of 9/11. But that got me self-publishing, which is pretty much why I have a career today, I think.
Conventions | Attendance at the second annual Salt Lake Comic Con was estimated at between 120,000 and 130,000, putting it on a par with the big shows like Comic-Con International in San Diego and New York Comic Con. Even better, Stan Lee proclaimed it "the greatest comic con in the world" (but he probably says that to all the shows). [The Salt Lake Tribune]
Conventions | The scale of the first Las Cruces [New Mexico] Comic Con was considerably smaller, with expected attendance of 3,000 to 5,000, but organizers were pleased with the event, which featured a Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament, a Comic Strip Burlesque show, and appearances by Jim Steranko, Power Rangers stuntman Jason Ybarra, and the 1966 Batmobile. [Las Cruces Sun-News]
After teasing the project in July with a video and earlier this week with a pair of images, BOOM! Studios has announced Abigail and the Snowman, a four-issue miniseries by Roger Langridge.
Debuting in December from the publisher's KaBOOM! imprint, the all-ages comic centers on a 9-year-old girl with a wild imagination who moves to a small town, where she's the new kid who struggles to make friends. However, that changes when Abigail meets Claude, a Yeti pursued by the Shadow Men" after he escaped a top-secret government facility.
An Eisner and Harvey award winner, Langridge is no stranger to BOOM!, where he's worked on The Muppet Show, Popeye, his creator-owned Snark! and the upcoming Jim Henson's The Musical Monsters of Turkey Hollow.
"I'm doing this book for BOOM! mainly because they asked me, really," the cartoonist explained in the video released in July. "They asked me if I had some ideas, and they've been good to me in the past as far as all-ages material goes — they know how to sell all-ages material, which is what this is."
Comics | Almost half the attendees at this year's Comic-Con International in San Diego were women, writes Yael Kohen in an article about the growing importance of women to the comics industry. He cites statistics showing that young women are the fastest-growing segment of the comics audience, talks to Image Comics President Eric Stephenson and a woman who works in a comic shop, and mentions the enduring popularity of manga and Marvel's recent introduction of more interesting female characters. With all that material to work with, it's too bad he started with a lead right out of the 1950s, something about a fashion show at Comic-Con, as if that's what all those women were there for. [BloombergBusinessweek]
Creators | Writer Jen Van Meter discusses her newest project, Valiant's first female-led series, The Death-Defying Doctor Mirage. [Hero Complex]
Manga | Tadatoshi Fujimaki is bringing his manga Kuroko's Basketball to an end. The final chapter will run in the Sept. 1 issue of Shonen Jump, followed in October by the release of the 29th and final collection. The manga isn't licensed in North America (although the anime is), but it became famous worldwide after more than 400 threat letters were sent to venues in Japan hosting Kuroko's Basketball events and to retailers selling the series. The perpetrator confessed to the crimes, and was sentenced last week to four and half years in prison. [Anime News Network]
Creators | Brian Truitt interviews two creators of Cloaks: actor David Henrie, who created the main character Adam, a street magician in New York who is recruited by a black-ops group, and Caleb Monroe, who wrote the comic. Says Monroe, "As a magician, Adam looks for underlying realities, those things many of us have forgotten or deceived ourselves about. Then he develops ways to slip those back into people's lives disguised as entertainment." The first issue is due out next week from BOOM! Studios. [USA Today]
The Humble BOOM! Bundle is in its final day, meaning readers still have time to download 39 issues of DRM-free digital comics for as little as a penny.
That will get you issues of such BOOM! Studios series as Sons of Anarchy, Day Men, RoboCop and Imagine Agents. Those who pay more than the average amount offered (right now that's $10.10) will unlock issues from 10 more series, including Planet of the Apes, The Woods and Mouse Guard: The Black Axe (the offering has expanded since the launch of the promotion, adding Fairy Quest: Outlaws, Polarity, Suicide Risk Vols. 1-2 and Protocol: Orphans).
BOOM! Studios has added its name to the list of publishers embracing Humble Bundle with a promotion that allows readers to name their own price for digital editions of comics ranging from RoboCop to Lumberjanes to Mouse Guard.
By now you likely know how Humble Bundle operates, with customers getting DRM-free downloads for as little as a penny, with a portion of the proceeds going to a charity (in this case, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund).
Passings | Manga artist Hiroshi Obi, whose best known work is the Shonen Jump series Ganbare Goemon, died Sunday at age 54. His most recent project was a Yatterman remake, Yatterman Dengeki Daisakusen!, and he also taught in the manga department of Tokyo Kogakuin College of Technology. [Anime News Network]
Publishing | Filip Sablik of BOOM! Studios talks about marketing Lumberjanes on Tumblr, and how Beware the Valkyries, a group of women who work in comic stores, helped promote the comic with a special "Lumber Day." [ICv2]

Although Saturday at Comic-Con International was dominated by movies and television — led by Warner Bros. Pictures, Marvel Studios and Legendary Pictures — there was still room for plenty of comics news. First and foremost, the announcement of Marvel's Star Wars plans.
That line, telling canonical stories set between the events of Star Wars: A New Hope and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, launches in January with Star Wars, by Jason Aaron and John Cassaday, followed in February by Star Wars: Darth Vader, by Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca with covers by Adi Granov, and in March by the miniseries Star Wars: Princess Leia, by Mark Waid and Terry Dodson.
"What's great about this time period is that all the characters are kind of on the table," Aaron told CBR News. "Of course this is still early on and these people have pretty much just met each and just come together. So they're still finding their place within this group and sort of figuring out their relationships with each other. Then there's the fact that when you look at the gap between Episode IV and Episode V there's some pretty major beats that happen off screen. So this gives up the opportunity to grab those beats and lay them down as part of the same canon as the movies."
If the biggest surprise coming out of Comic-Con International on Friday was that, before last night, Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez had never won an Eisner Award — seriously, how can that be? — a close second was undoubtedly the Star Trek/Planet of the Apes crossover from IDW Publishing and BOOM! Studios.
Yes, the two sci-fi franchises will finally meet in an alternate-future event that brings the original crew of the Enterprise together with Taylor, Nova and other characters from 1968's Planet of the Apes as the Klingons secretly support a renegade gorilla general in a coup to seize control of Ape City. Writers Scott and David Tipton will be joined by artist Rachael Stott for the crossover, which marks the first time BOOM! has partnered with another publisher.
Other announcements of note:
• After being introduced into the Marvel Universe at the end of the Age of Ultron miniseries and discovering her past in Thor & Loki: The Tenth Realm, Neil Gaiman's angelic warrior Angela will star in her own ongoing, Angela: Asgard's Assassin, by Kieron Gillen and Marguerite Bennett and artists Phil Jimenez and Stephanie Hans.
In perhaps the most unexpected news to come out of Comic-Con International today, IDW Publishing and BOOM! Studios announced a crossover between their popular Star Trek and Planet of the Apes franchises.
StarTrek.com reports that IDW will publish Star Trek/Planet Apes: The Primate Directive, a multi-issue miniseries featuring the original Enterprise crew and the characters from 1968's Planet of the Apes. IDW's Star Trek regulars Scott and David Tipton will write the comic, which will be illustrated by newcomer Rachael Stott.
Although Preview Night is still hours away, there's still plenty of Comic-Con International news and miscellaneous tidbits, ranging from early announcements and last-minute preparations to convention exclusives and recommendations. We've rounded up just some of them here.
• Fox has partnered with BOOM! Studios to produce a convention-exclusive Maze Runner comic. Written by the film's director and screenwriter, Wes Ball and T.S. Nowlin, and illustrated by Marcus To, the one-shot will be given to attendees of the studio's Hall H presentation on Friday.
• Dark Horse rounds up its pre-convention announcements of 12 new creator-owned comics, including Hellboy and the B.P.R.D., by Mike Mignola, John Arcudi and Alex Maleev, EI8HT, by Rafael Albuquerque and Mike Johnson, The Black Hammer, by Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston, and Fight Club 2, by Chuck Palahniuk and Cameron Stewart.
• The online comics education resource Comics Experience has partnered with IDW Publishing to release creator-owned titles by new talent, beginning in January with five miniseries: Drones by Chris Lewis and Bruno Oliveira; Creature Cops: Special Varmint Unit by Rob Anderson and Fernando Melek; Gutter Magic by Rich Douek and Brett Barkley; and Tet by Paul Allor and Paul Tucker.
BOOM! Studios has signed a first-look licensing deal with online apparel retailer WeLoveFine that will kick off this week at Comic-Con International with a line of T-shirts based on Lumberjanes and a limited-edition tee inspired by The Woods.
A selection of designs, including the convention-exclusive Lumberjanes "Holy Kitten" tee and the Lumberjanes Group Shot messenger bag, will be available during Comic-Con at the BOOM! booth (#2229) and at the WeLoveFine booth (#1235). They'll also be available beginning July 24 on the WeLoveFine website; the "Holy Kitten" convention exclusive can be purchased online for a limited time.
Check out the designs below. Comic-Con begins Wednesday with Preview Night.
Although we already knew Roger Langridge is returning to BOOM! Studios for Jim Henson's The Musical Monsters of Turkey Hollow, now comes word that the publisher will also debut an original all-ages project from the Eisner-winning cartoonist in December.
"I'm doing this book for BOOM! mainly because they asked me, really," the Snarked and Muppet Show cartoonist says in the video below. "They asked me if I had some ideas, and they've been good to me in the past as far as all-ages material goes — they know how to sell all-ages material, which is what this is."
Just as Fox's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes arrives in theaters, BOOM! Studios has announced it will release a miniseries that bridges the 10-year gap between the events of 2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes and the new film.
Written by Michael Moreci (Hoax Hunters, Curse), the November-debuting comic will chronicle the fall of humanity as a result of the Simian Flu and the rise of Caesar's ape civilization. Additional creative-team details will be revealed later.

According to Wikipedia: "Marcus Tullius Cicero (January 3, 106 BC December 7, 43 BC) was a Roman philosopher, statesman, lawyer, political theorist, and Roman constitutionalist. Cicero is widely considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists. Cicero is generally perceived to be one of the most versatile minds of ancient Rome. He introduced the Romans to the chief schools of Greek philosophy and created a Latin philosophical vocabulary, distinguishing himself as a linguist, translator, and philosopher. An impressive orator and successful lawyer, Cicero probably thought his political career his most important achievement. Today, he is appreciated primarily for his humanism and philosophical and political writings. His voluminous correspondence, much of it addressed to his friend Atticus, has been especially influential, introducing the art of refined letter writing to European culture. Cornelius Nepos, the 1st-century BC biographer of Atticus, remarked that Cicero's letters contained such a wealth of detail "concerning the inclinations of leading men, the faults of the generals, and the revolutions in the government" that their reader had little need for a history of the period. During the chaotic latter half of the first century B.C. marked by civil wars and the dictatorship of Gaius Julius Caesar, Cicero championed a return to the traditional republican government. However, his career as a statesman was marked by inconsistencies and a tendency to shift his position in response to changes in the political climate. His indecision may be attributed to his sensitive and impressionable personality; he was prone to overreaction in the face of political and private change. "Would that he had been able to endure prosperity with greater self-control and adversity with more fortitude!" wrote C. Asinius Pollio, a contemporary Roman statesman and historian." Also, according to Wikipedia: "Anthony Trollope ( 24 April 1815 6 December 1882 ) became one of the most successful, prolific and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. Some of Trollope's best-loved works, known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, revolve around the imaginary county of Barsetshire; he also wrote penetrating novels on political, social, gender issues and conflicts of his day. Trollope has always been a popular novelist. Noted fans have included Sir Alec Guinness (who never travelled without a Trollope novel), former British Prime Ministers Harold Macmillan and Sir John Major, economist John Kenneth Galbraith, American novelists Sue Grafton and Dominick Dunne and soap opera writer Harding Lemay. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life, but he regained the esteem of critics by the mid-twentieth century. "Of all novelists in any country, Trollope best understands the role of money. Compared with him even Balzac is a romantic." — W. H. Auden"

Terence Crawford Stuns Prescott With Decision Win
By Rick Reeno
Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas - Terence Crawford (20-0, 15KOs), who accepted the fight on less than two week's notice and moved up to junior welterweight, won a ten round unanimous decision over Breidis Prescott (26-5, 20KOs). The scores were 99-91, 97-93 and 100-90.
In the early action, Prescott was walking the much smaller Crawford down with ease. Crawford found success when he switched to the southpaw stance. Neither fighter was doing much to impress the live audience, with Crawford moving away and Prescott coming forward but not letting his hands go.
A clash of heads opened up a cut above Prescott's left eye. Crawford started letting his hands go in the sixth and timing Prescott well. During the seventh, Prescott started to show some desperation but he was getting tagged for his trouble. Crawford was in full control in the final three rounds, easily timing Prescott with punches and avoiding everything in return.
Well done Terrence. Been a Crawford fan since he blasted some poor dude out on ESPN2.Comment by puga on 03-31-2013
..im a fan.. guy is impressive ..hope he's not a douche...Comment by ddangerous on 03-31-2013

Inu-Yupiaq is a dance group at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks that performs a fusion of Iñupiaq and Yup'ik Eskimo motion dance.
The Inu-Yupiaq Dance Group was formed in the year of 1995. The songs and dances presented are forms of "Eskimo motion dancing"[1] represent a number of different Alaska Native cultures.[2] The group formed in response to the need for an Eskimo dancing group in Fairbanks.[3]
Native dance is a part of the Inupiaq culture,[4] And "song duels" were a traditional part of the cultures of the Inupiaq and the St. Lawrence Island Yupik People of north and northwestern Alaska.[5]
Eskimo Songs in brief[edit]
Eskimo songs are sung with voices and circular drums. These drums can be made with wood, ivory, antler, a sea mammal's stomach or bladder, parachute material, or non-rip nylon. Iñupiaq and Yup'ik Eskimo songs and dancers are similar, but have their differences.
Iñupiaq Eskimo songs are usually consisted of two or three parts, usually song together. The first part is sung with a soft drum beat. The second part is sung same as the first, but with a harder drum beat. The third (if any), is the same as the second, but with no voices sung, just the drum beat.
All Eskimo songs tell stories with songs and dances. Some Yup'ik songs are constructed with only the Mengluni, Akuli, and Pamyua. Also, shorter Yup'ik songs are constructed with only the Mengluni and Pamyua.
Yup'ik Eskimo songs are more complex and longer. Here is a diagram of a typical Yup'ik Eskimo song.
Mengluni [meng loony] or Ciuqlia [Jew q ła] (The Beginning) A - Voice and soft drum beat h - Very similar to A, but a harder drum beat
Apallum Ciuqlia [ab aa łoom Jew q ła] (The first verse) B - This is modernly called the verse. This is slightly different than A and h, but continues the story of the song. h - Same as 'h' above
