Grub and NetBSD
Hello people!!!
I recently have installed NetBSD on my HDD, an it is with ubuntu and windows but it doesn' t boot, I read many tutorials of how to install NetBSD in this way and how to use grub to boot it, so my NetBSD install didn't write anything in MBR, but my grub always show something like "file not found", can you check what is wrong on my grub.cfg file and tell me how to fix it, and how I can heck what's the correct path for my NetBSD partition? that's because NetBSD it's supposed to be installed in the third partition of my HDD, but an "fdisk -l" under ubuntu shows this:
root@xebuzer0-ThinkCentre-Charchina:~# fdisk -l
Disco /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes

Thanks in advance and greetings
PD: I've read this 2 links without some success
and sorry if is in the wrong category, I'm new at the forum
My grub entry:

Hello XeBuZer0, and welcome to the forum!
From your Linux' fdisk output, it appears that there is an ordering issue in your primary partition table. First, note the informative message:
I suspect that when you configure grub to boot off (sda0,3) it is probably trying to boot off your Linux partition /dev/sda3, via chain loading. This would fail because to boot Linux you need to load the kernel, not the first sector in the partition. (I must add a disclaimer that I've never used grub, so it's possible I'm off the rails here.)
To fix this problem you could swap the contents of the third and fourth MBR partition table entries (the ones for Linux and NetBSD). This would put them in a natural order. However, this is also a tricky/dangerous job since you could, with one mistake, mess up the partitioning of your disk and lose access to everything.
Therefore I strongly suggest you do not follow this option at this time, and instead consider the following.
As an alternative I would simply try to get grub to boot off the fourth partition, which contains NetBSD. I'm assuming this would be done by using:
set root=(hd0,4)
in the configuration. That should be a safe thing to try.
As a little tip about formatting with the forum software, it would be good to format things like your fdisk output inside of [code] ... [/code] blocks, since it will make it easier to read.
Does this help?

Another way to try is to edit the grub boot line when starting. Press 'e' when you see the grub boot screen, highlight the entry to change, press 'e' to actually edit the line, then 'b' to continue booting.
N.B. This is only a tempory change to the grub boot menu, if it works, change the line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. (/boot/grub/menu.lst if it were legacy grub.)
Linux since 1999, & also a BSD user.
And thanks for the tip too, in fact, I tried to format the text of my terminal output but I dunno why it didn't work :/
Thanks for the help IdOp and bsd-keith
If you reinstall NetBSD using the 4th MBR slot to describe the 3rd partition area on the disk (just as before), then I would start with bsd-keith's suggestion. Looking at one of the other linked threads, it seems likely
chainloader +1
would also be needed in the grub config, wouldn't it?

- Describe what is in the pictures.
- What do the words of each text say and mean? Look at the transcripts if you find it difficult to read the original manuscript. Try to make out the general sense of each piece. You don't have to translate every word exactly.
- Try to date the publication of the texts.
- Research the social, military and political history of the period.
- What events or movements do the texts describe?
- What do you think was the attitude of the publishers of the texts to the events being reported and the people involved?
Sources to help you get started in your own research:
- Websites e.g http://www.british-civil-wars.co.uk/index.htm
- Books – try the history section in your local or school library
- Your local museum may have information about this period.
- Discussion with other people in your group – if you are stuck for ideas, get talking!
Present your results
Use your discoveries to write notes for an exhibition of the texts giving further information about the historical background. Write up all your notes and present them, with your translations to your team leader. You can include maps, diagrams or drawings if you think they would help the exhibition. It is important that as well as presenting your exhibition text with your ideas, you should come to a conclusion.

A year ago today we joined together to start Obstructed View. We could write about our individual thoughts over the last year, but a blog is a community. We've published over 730 articles and there have been more than 85,000 comments left on them. Your participation makes this much more enjoyable for us. So thanks and we hope you keep coming back. Tell your friends and neighbors too.
We have (actually, And Counting) put together a pretty cool image to mark our very special anniversary. We think it sums things up pretty well.
We're also introducing the Obstructed View Forum. It will soon be linked to on the menu and there will be a module on the sidebar with the latest forum posts. We have forums for the Cubs, baseball in general, football, basketball, other sports, entertainment and other topics.
We hope you use it. If you do, post a link in the comments so people can see it more quickly. There's a lot of activity in the comments and we're not discouraging you from using the comments in the same way you have. We just thought this could add something to the site that was worth trying out.
When we set up this site we installed a chat room and have used that for some of the roundtables we've done. We're going to open that chat room up to be used from time to time during games. We need the traffic on the blog. It helps pay the bills, but we're thinking we could have a weekly chat during a game. Not sure which day or if it will be a specific day each week, but it's something we're planning to do.
Also, there will soon be another contest on Obstructed View. The idea for it belongs to commenter GW so thank him for the riches that one of you will soon have. The contest will include all the players we've posted projections for and you'll vote whether or not you think they beat their projection or fall short of it. Therefore, the winner won't be known until after the season. Although we have yet to think of a prize, we've agreed its range in value will be between a free subscription to Obstructed View and a brand new twenty dollar bill.

You have, no doubt, already heard of the hot EA/McDonald's/Intel marketing three-way, for which paper towels and blue tarps have already been purchased. However, you may not have seen our comic strip on the subject, because I just now uploaded it.
The cynical response is that this is nothing new. The pragmatic response is that it is probably better than having your eyes eaten by ravens, a la Excalibur. But I think it's hard to deny that ad agencies - on the web and otherwise - have at least gotten more brazen about what they do. I didn't just pick up a copy of Adbusters and come up with this. You've got the ladies with the cell phones over at the Space Needle, "hanging out and having fun," delivering subliminal pitches. People changing their names to products and advertising on tombstones. My favorite one is more recent - this Starburst thing is awesome. I mean, it's super vile, but it is so eager to be vile that you kind of root for it. Let me paraphrase the article.
Let's say you want to advertise your candy - or "lolly" - on the radio and television. You can pay a set amount of money for access to thirty-second or minute slots, let's say. Or, and here's an idea, you can make a song by a "band" whose name is the product you're trying to sell, and get it into rotation on stations and have them play it for you. In the case of Starburst, you write a song called "Get Your Juices Going," which exhausts every possible fruit-related sexual innuendo over the course of four excruciating minutes. The production of Pop Hits being a largely mechanical enterprise, it will not be difficult to suitably emulate the music of the moment. I don't know what the going rate is for payola, but my hunch tells me it compares favorably with actual ad spots. Customers can then go out and purchase your advertising, and they will, because they're fucking retards. The Starburst issue reveals so much about radio, marketing, and human nature that it casts a shadow over my entire life. It is cold in my heart.
Future robots have nothing on these guys in the grim efficiency department.
So, eh, whaddya do. Maintain a generally cynical air and stoke a rabid xenophobia that borders on a mental disorder. Download that Starburst song, and experience your own psychotic break today! You will stare at the palm of your hand for a half an hour, wondering if you're actually alive or not. That's what I did.
(CW)TB out.
boy you should be knowin

Unlike many A-list Hollywood stars, Philip Seymour Hoffman never left theater behind. Stage acting and directing remained a cornerstone of Hoffman's career, which encompassed the lofty heights of Broadway and the less-exalted world of small theater.
After Hoffman was found dead on Sunday in his New York apartment, the victim of an apparent overdose, according to police, those who worked closely with him described him as an intense stage performer who sometimes inhabited the roles he played to an extreme and troubling degree.
"He was ferocious and deeply embedded in the characters he played to the point of a real inability to leave those characters behind," said Robert Falls, artistic director of the Goodman Theatre in Chicago.
Falls directed Hoffman in the 2003 Broadway revival of Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night," in which the actor played the eldest son in a family of addicts.
"He was well acquainted with the tragic pull that drugs have," Falls said. "He brought that into that performance. In the rehearsal room, there was a cost. Phil couldn't fake it. He lived through it."
The director added: "Every night he ripped it up to an extent that he couldn't leave [the role]. Phil carried it with him."
Hoffman often chose dark, troubled characters to play on stage, and he collaborated with theater's top directors. He starred as Iago in Peter Sellar's modernized staging of Shakespeare's "Othello" that played in Europe and ran in New York.
"Phil burned so brightly and with such unrelenting love — it made him one of the great theater performers of his or any generation," Sellars said.
"In classical material, he just lit it up from within and exploded it. With contemporary material, he had a wildness that few could match."
Hoffman earned three Tony Award nominations for his work on Broadway. But his creative home for many years was the maverick Labyrinth Theater Company, which he co-founded and where he served as artistic director for years.
Labyrinth, based in New York, has produced edgy plays by such notable writers as Stephen Adly Guirgis and Brett C. Leonard.
Leaders at Labyrinth declined to comment but issued a statement: "We are heartbroken by the loss of our beloved friend, company member, and former artistic director, Philip Seymour Hoffman. His contributions to the Labyrinth family as an artist and mentor are immeasurable. We join everyone in mourning the passing of one of the great lights of our generation."
As a stage director, Hoffman mounted productions around the world, including a Labyrinth production in May of "A Family for All Occasions" by Bob Glaudini, at the small Bank Street Theater in New York.
Hoffman teamed up with Cate Blanchett at the Sydney Theatre Company in Australia to direct a production of Sam Shepard's "True West" in 2010. He had starred in a Broadway production of the play in 2000, alternating roles with co-star John C. Reilly.
"I had a great time working with him," recalled Matthew Warchus, who directed the Broadway production. "He had extraordinarily high standards and was also extremely funny."
Hoffman's final Broadway appearance was as Willy Loman in the 2012 revival of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman." The production, directed by Mike Nichols, was widely praised and was a commercial success.
Falls, the Goodman's artistic director, recalled that "for all the misery he carried around and the cloud he carried around as a stage actor, he was filled with happiness when he was directing."
Hoffman's longtime partner was Mimi O'Donnell, who currently serves as artistic director of Labyrinth.

State aid: Commission provides greater legal certainty for financing services of general economic interest
A package of measures providing greater legal certainty to the financing of services of general economic interest has been adopted by the European Commission. The measures will ensure that companies can receive public support to cover all costs incurred, including a reasonable profit, in carrying out public service tasks as defined and entrusted to them by public authorities, whilst ensuring that there is no over-compensation liable to distort competition. Member States will be able to grant compensation to small-scale public services, hospitals and social housing without notifying the Commission. The measures take the form of a Commission Decision, a Community Framework for state aid in the form of public service compensation and an amendment to the Commission Directive on financial transparency. These are the first implementing measures of the State Aid Action Plan (see IP/05/680). The measures only apply to undertakings conducting economic activities, as financial support granted to entities not conducting economic activities (e.g basic compulsory social security schemes) does not constitute state aid anyway.
Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes said: "These new rules will not only ensure that public authorities remain free to define which public services they wish to support financially and the level of support, but also ensure transparency and guard against cross-subsidies for non-public service activities".
The Commission Decision (based on Article 86(3) of the EC Treaty) specifies the conditions under which compensation to companies for the provision of public services is compatible with state aid rules (a clearly defined public service mandate and no over-compensation) and does not have to be notified to the Commission in advance .The Decision is applicable to compensation of less than €30 million per year provided its beneficiaries have an annual turnover of less than €100 million. Compensation granted to hospitals and social housing for services of general economic interest also benefits from the Decision irrespective of the amounts involved, as does compensation for air and sea transport to islands as well as airports and ports below specific thresholds defined in passenger volumes.
The Commission Framework specifies the conditions under which compensation not covered by the Decision is compatible with state aid rules. Such compensation will have to be notified to the Commission due to the higher risk of distortion of competition. Compensation that exceeds the costs of the public service, or is used by companies on other markets open to competition, is not justified, and is incompatible with the Treaty's state aid rules.
The amendment to the Commission Transparency Directive (80/723/EEC) clarifies that companies receiving compensation and operating on both public service and other markets must have separate accounts for their different activities, so that the absence of over-compensation can be checked.
The measures help to increase legal certainty about compensation paid for thousands of small, often local, public services following the Court of Justice's Altmark ruling (C-280/00, 24.7.03). The measures are part of a broader Commission policy ensuring that citizens and companies can benefit from the provision of high-quality services of general interest in an open EU-wide market announced in the Commission's May 2004 White Paper on Services of General Interest (see IP/04/638), and are without prejudice to other actions announced in the White Paper.

What happens when you're a car designer and you're given the chance to channel your inner 13-year-old, that long lost part of your soul that dreams of speed and stares longingly at the Countach poster on your wall?
If you're a designer at Toyota's CALTY studio, then what you get is the luscious FT-1 Concept. It's just a design study and not an actual car, but it's one of the more exciting things we've seen in a while from a brand trying to recapture its spirit.
In this episode of Motor Trend's Downshift, they speak to some of the CALTY designers who crafted the FT-1 to see what they were thinking when they made this sports car. It's worth a watch.
Let it be real someday, Toyota. Please?

The Romance Of Tiffany Jewelry: Tiffany Somerset Heart RingCATEGORIES:Jewelry & Watches
How can you make that special ring for that special someone even better? Make that special ring Tiffany jewelry, that's how! I love this charming replica Tiffany heart ring that PV just released.
The intricate silver mesh backdrop is the perfect setting for such a lovely center piece – a silver heart! Have a look at the original – I can't tell the difference between the two and that's exactly what you want in a great replica – great materials, a sweet design, a great price, and an execution that makes it look authentic.
One of the nicest things about the Tiffany jewelry at PV is how affordable it is. For under $50 you can get yourself a beautiful slice of Tiffany, replica of course, which looks and feels real. Not bad, eh? Couple this lovely ring with one of the Gucci handbags we already featured this week and you're at least halfway to accessory heaven!

Giovani Bernard didn't just win a football game for North Carolina on Saturday. With his heroic 74-yard punt return to beat N.C. State, on a play in which he waved a teammate off the field to put himself into the game, the sophomore running back immediately elevated himself to legendary status among Tar Heel faithful.
It's a distinction that's likely shared by anyone who witnessed the dramatic run, and the amazing individual performance that led up to it.
But that's the problem.
Because Bernard's team is located so far off the national radar, few � if anyone � outside the state of North Carolina noticed his performance.
If a top back representing an SEC school or any one of the other usual suspects in the upper half of the AP Top 25 had put such a dramatic exclamation point on an effort in which he amassed 304 all-purpose yards against an emotional rival, the Downtown Athletic Club would already be engraving his name on the Heisman Trophy.
Bernard, however, plays for a middle-of-the-pack ACC school better known for its basketball success. As such, he has as much chance of seriously contending for college football's most prestigious award as his team does of playing in a bowl this season.
Case in point: He garnered only a single fifth-place vote in ESPN's most recent "experts poll" of Heisman candidates.
Although teammate Tre Boston excitedly referred to Bernard as the Tar Heels' "not-so-secret weapon anymore" in the afterglow of Saturday's game, the fact of the matter is that the undersized Florida native is still the nation's most overlooked star.
Bernard leads the ACC in rushing with 930 yards on only 126 carries. He ranks fourth nationally with 15 touchdowns, one more than he had all last year, and he's among the top 10 in the ACC in receptions with 4.5 per game. He also leads the nation in punt returns with an average of 20.5 yards per attempt.
As impressive as Bernard's statistics already are, imagine how much better they would be if he didn't miss 2� games earlier this season with a knee injury. If not good enough for national recognition, they should at least be sufficient to make Bernard the runaway frontrunner for the ACC's Player of the Year award.
But that's not even the case. And it has nothing to do with his lack of national notoriety.
Rather, it's one of the unintended consequences of UNC's NCAA sanctions.
How much the stigma of his team's probation will have on Bernard among the voting members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association won't be known until the balloting begins in a few weeks.
But it's safe to say that the Tar Heels' inability to play for and win a conference championship could ultimately cost him votes to Florida State quarterback E.J. Manuel or Clemson wide receiver DeAndre "Nuk" Hopkins � whose teams are still eligible for a title.
The same can be said for UNC coach Larry Fedora. Barring a strong finish by Duke and an unexpected collapse by his own team, he figures to be the next ACC Coach of the Year.
It would be a shame if either ends up being punished for the transgressions of others, especially those who were gone before one played his first game in Carolina blue and the other even arrived.
But if they are, they'll get over it.
For Fedora, laying the foundation for long-term success will be a much more meaningful reward than any trophy. As for Bernard, who needs the title of Player of the Year when you're already a legend?

It's been a busy past few weeks, as we were preparing for our Fluid Power Conference & Expo (FPCE), here in Cleveland. We just wrapped it up yesterday and it was a great event. The technical sessions were all well-attended and offered high-quality fluid power education. I'm already looking forward to planning next year's event and hearing more great experts in the field!
Between the Conference and being sick all week, I've missed blogging so wanted to get back into it with a few little tidbits. I was not surprised once again to see that Eaton Corp. achieved record earnings once again, with record net income per share of $1.07 for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 37% over the $0.78 earned in the third quarter of 2010. Sales in the third quarter were $4.12 billion, 15% above the third quarter of 2010. Net income in the third quarter was $365 million compared to $268 million in 2010.
Eaton's official press release stated that its hydraulics segment sales were $717 million, up 23% compared to the third quarter of 2010. Global hydraulics markets were up 14% in the quarter, with U.S. markets up 18% and non-U.S. markets up 11%. Operating profits in the third quarter were $109 million. Excluding acquisition integration costs of $1 million during the quarter, operating profits were $110 million, up 45% over the third quarter of 2010.
"Global hydraulics markets in the third quarter continued the strong rebound we saw in the first half, although we did see weakness in the Chinese construction equipment markets," said Cutler. "Our bookings, adjusted for foreign exchange, increased 20% in the third quarter. For all of 2011, we believe global hydraulics markets will grow 17%, 1% lower than we had expected in July."
Record earnings are being consistently reported from fluid power manufacturers both large and small. The businesses I talked to at the FPCE agreed that business was going very well and that they, their suppliers, and their customers, all had a positive outlook on the fluid power market.

Alhamdulillah! Finally, a technologist designed a security tool that everyone could use. A Lebanese-born, Montreal-based computer scientist, college student, and activist named Nadim Kobeissi had developed a cryptography tool, Cryptocat, for the Internet that seemed as easy to use as Facebook Chat but was presumably far more secure.
Encrypted communications are hardly a new idea. Technologists wary of government surveillance have been designing free encryption software since the early 1990s. Of course, no tool is completely safe, and much depends on the capabilities of the eavesdropper. But for years digital safety tools have been so hard to use that few human rights defenders and even fewer journalists (my best guess is one in a 100) employ them.
Activist technologists often complain that journalists and human rights defenders are either too lazy or foolish to not consistently use digital safety tools when they are operating in hostile environments. Journalists and many human rights activists, for their part, complain that digital safety tools are too difficult or time-consuming to operate, and, even if one tried to learn them, they often don't work as expected.
Cryptocat promised to finally bridge these two distinct cultures. Kobeissi was profiled in The New York Times; Forbes and especially Wired each praised the tool. But Cryptocat's sheen faded fast. Within three months of winning a prize associated with The Wall Street Journal, Cryptocat ended up like a cat caught in storm--wet, dirty, and a little worse for wear. Analyst Christopher Soghoian--who wrote a Times op-ed last fall saying that journalists must learn digital safety skills to protect sources--blogged that Cryptocat had far too many structural flaws for safe use in a repressive environment.
An expert writing in Wired agreed. Responding to another Wired piece just weeks before, Patrick Ball said the prior author's admiration of Cryptocat was "inaccurate, misleading and potentially dangerous." Ball is one of the Silicon Valley-based nonprofit Benetech developers of Martus, an encrypted database used by groups to secure information like witness testimony of human rights abuses.
But unlike Martus, which encrypts its data locally on the users' machine, the original version of Cryptocat was a host-based security application that relied on servers to provide the code for the encryption and decryption of any online chatting. That made Cryptocat potentially vulnerable to attack without the end user knowing.
So we are back to where we started, to a degree. Other, older digital safety tools are "a little harder to use, but their security is real," Ball added in Wired. Yet, in the real world, from Mexico to Ethiopia, from Syria to Bahrain, how many human rights activists, journalists, and others actually use them? "The tools are just too hard to learn. They take too long to learn. And no one's going to learn them," a journalist for a major U.S. news organization recently told me.
Who will help bridge the gap? Information-freedom technologists clearly don't build free, open-source tools to get rich. They're motivated by the recognition one gets from building an exciting, important new tool. (Kind of like journalists breaking a story.) Training people in the use of security tools or making those tools easier to use doesn't bring the same sort of credit.
Or financial support. Donors--in good part, U.S. government agencies--tend to back the development of new tools rather than ongoing usability training and development. But in doing so, technologists and donors are avoiding a crucial question: Why aren't more people using security tools? These days--20 years into what we now know as the Internet--usability testing is key to every successful commercial online venture. Yet it is rarely practiced in the Internet freedom community.
That may be changing. The anti-censorship circumvention tool Tor has grown progressively easier to use, and donors and technologists are now working to make it easier and faster still. Other tools, like Pretty Good Privacy or its slightly improved free alternative GnuPG, still seem needlessly difficult to operate. Partly because the emphasis is on open technology built by volunteers, users are rarely if ever redirected how to get back on track if they make a mistake or reach a dead end. This would be nearly inconceivable today with any commercial application designed to help users purchase a service or product.
Which brings us back to Cryptocat, the ever-so-easy tool that was not as secure as it was once thought to be. For a time, the online debate among technologists degenerated into the kind of vitriol one might expect to hear among, say, U.S. presidential campaigns. But wounds have since healed and some critics are now working with Kobeissi to help clean up and secure Cryptocat.
Life and death, prison and torture remain real outcomes for many users, and, as Ball noted in Wired, there are no security shortcuts in hostile environments. But if tools remain too difficult for people to use in real-life circumstances in which they are under duress, then that is a security problem in itself.
The lesson of Cryptocat is that more learning and collaboration are needed. Donors, journalists, and technologists can work together more closely to bridge the gap between invention and use.
Updated: We updated this entry in the sixth paragraph to clarify how the original version Cryptocat worked.

An 18-year -old factory hand, Kwabena Abubakar who defiled a 13- year- old girl at the Kokomba market in Accra was on Friday sentenced to seven years imprisonment by an Accra Circuit Court.
Abubakar pleaded guilty to defilement and the court presided over by Mr Ebenezer Osei-Darko convicted him accordingly.
Prosecuting Detective Inspector Kofi Atimbire said the victim was a pupil residing at Fadama in Accra with her father, Abubakar.
On January 20, the victim went to a nearby public bath house to take her bath and covered her body with a piece of cloth.
Chief Inspector Atimbire said while returning, Abubakar lured her into his room and defiled her.
Prosecution said the victim's father who was looking for her daughter saw her coming from Abubakar's room and when he interrogated her, she narrated her ordeal.
The victim's father then alerted the Police and Abubakar was arrested and escorted to Old Fadama Police where the case was referred to the Domestic Violence and Victim's Support Unit of the Ghana Police Service in Accra.
The victim was issued a medical to be examined.

We all have to leave our homes sometime, but it's frustrating to think something could go wrong while we're away and the idea of coming home to a flooded home or power failure can be frightening. Sure, there's already a slew of home-monitoring systems out there with phone operators that can let us know when something goes wrong, but who wants to pay those often expensive home monitoring fees?
Because some of these events-particularly flooding-can be catastrophic to your home or business if they're not taken care of immediately, there's the HS-700 Control Products HomeSitter Alarm that will monitor your home, remote vacation property or business with NO monitoring fees and will automatically call up to three telephone numbers in the event of:
- A temperature drop below 45deg.F or temperature rise above 85deg.F
- Water leaks, overflowing sumps, flooded basement or faulty hoses
- Power failure (home or equipment)
- Lower battery alert of your HomeSitter (2 AA batteries not included)
Once you receive the phone call you can respond to your emergency immediately, and the system itself is easy to use as the Alarm call-out can be canceled remotely during the alarm call or by calling back to the unit. The HomeSitter automatically resets when alarm condition is fixed.
- Tells you the exact alarm condition
- Unique 4 digit security code
- Remote status check during alarm
- Motion sensor option for security
- Audible Alarm
- Automatic Reset
- Continues to call about alarm conditions until alarm is acknowledged

One of my favorite parts of the Disney World snack hierarchy is Goofy's Candy Company's create-your-own options. In Downtown Disney, Goofy's offers a fun little "assembly line" where guests can build a snack from the ground up!
That's right — true, 100% guest interaction here. (Talk about getting it your way!) YOU decide what snack you want. YOU decide what it's dipped in. YOU decide the topping. And YOU decide what it's drizzled with. There are countless different combinations of flavors and snacks. Kinda makes you want to come back again and again, eh?
Here's the ordering sheet, which shows off quite clearly the many, many sugary (and some salty!) choices.
I decided (natch) to get two Goofy's Candy Company create your own treats. I did this because it's been a couple of years since I created my last treat and I had clearly forgotten that the size and sweetness of just one treat is often way too much for one person to handle. As is often the case, my eyes were much bigger than my stomach!
However, as a result, you guys get the benefit of seeing two different treats made! Yay!
I chose:
- Rice Krispie Treat + Dipped in White Chocolate + Topped with Oreo Cookie Crumbs + Drizzled with Milk Chocolate
- Pretzel Rods + Dipped in Milk Chocolate + Topped with Butterfinger Crumbs + Drizzled with White Chocolate
Mickey Rice Krispie Treat Create-Your-Own
An absolutely lovely Goofy's Candy Company cast member was working with me on this visit. Annie moved ahead slowly and lovingly. She had clearly done this many times before and, instead of being bored with the creations, had taken her time to develop the perfect approach.
She made sure the treat was fully coated in white chocolate — twice — before burying it in the Oreo cookie crumbs.
Now, when I say bury, I mean bury! She packed that treat into the cookie crumbs and patted it down like she was tucking a favorite niece or nephew into bed for the night.
And THEN… she left it there, packed in Oreo crumbs, while she went on to prepare the pretzel rods for my next treat. I figured she was leaving it there so that the chocolate would cool and dry a bit, making even more crumbs stick than would have if she'd pulled the treat out sooner. When I mentioned it to her, she just said — in a knowing way — "I just make them the same way I like to eat them." This is why Annie is the best cast member ever.
From here, she pulled the Oreo-laden treat from the crumbs and began drizzling it with milk chocolate. By the time she was finished, there was so much chocolate it looked like it had been dipped again! Wonderfulness!
Pretzel Rod Create-Your-Own
I decided that getting the pretzel rod (no fat!!) would be a smart and healthy snack — hooray for me!
Annie began by dipping three (!!!) pretzel rods into milk chocolate. I figured I'd just get one, but nope! Three!
And the pretzels got the same fabulous treatment as the Krispie Treat — a good long sittin' in that Butterfinger candy.
And, of course, a healthy drizzle of white chocolate!
I headed over to the pick-up station while Annie packed my treats into cute Mickey cut-out boxes. Goofy's used to use Styrofoam containers for the create-your-own treats, so I really like this new packaging. It's much easier for transport as well, should you want to take one home.
Here's Annie!!!
Once we got back to our hotel room, we just had to try 'em! First up? The Krispie Treat:
It was all nestled beautifully in that little red box, and when we picked it up, there were so many Oreo crumbs on the thing that even though several fell off and stayed in the box there was still a nice, thick coating on the Krispie!
Of course — I've gotta show you the inside! You can't really see the milk chocolate very well here, but that was a nice, thick coating as well.
Overall, this treat was almost sickeningly sweet! Definitely needed something salty after this! Thank goodness we had pretzel rods in the other box!! 😉
These were easier to handle and less crumbly, but you still want to eat with care — toppings will definitely fall off, and you don't want to lose 'em (keep them in the box for snacks later)!
Because the bite was smaller and there was the slightest taste of salt, this was less overwhelming than the Krispie was. I liked the balance of the crunchy, salty pretzel with the sweet/salty flavor of the Butterfinger and the sweetness of the milk and white chocolate.
Unless you're going to eat your treat over the course of a few days, definitely get one to share! At least if Annie's making these for you, you'll end up with a very large, very sweet treat — tough to stomach in one sitting.
That said, I love that Goofy's gives us the opportunity to create exactly what we want, when we want it. There are so many different combinations to try that you're bound to be in the mood for something on the list. And ranging in price from $3.95 to $8.95, the cost lay-out for what you get really isn't all that bad!
Have you sampled a Goofy's Candy Company Create-Your-Own treat? What do you recommend, or what would you choose? Let us know in the comments below!

FIFA 14 and a 44 year-old Video Game Virgin
OK, virgin might not be completely accurate.
My video gaming dates back to the '70s, when my Dad built (yes, built) a Pong game. It acted as my doorway to the world of gaming. I also had an Atari system complete with Frogger and Pitfall, but that would be the last gaming system I actually owned.
However, I was one of the first of my friends to get a 50-inch screen and my gaming buddies brought their systems from afar to take advantage. They didn't stay long, though, because they soon learned that to play on the TV, they had to play with me. Needless to say, when I played Halo, a lot of squad members fell victim to friendly fire.
But soccer is one of my loves. Experiencing the World Cup in person multiple times will do that to a person.

Phillies' Halladay has sore shoulder
Philadelphia, PA – After being shelled for nine runs on four hits and four walks in just 2 1/3 innings against Miami Sunday, Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Roy Halladay revealed he has been dealing with a sore shoulder since April 24.
"I just got up after that start against Pittsburgh (on April 24) and had soreness in there and wasn't able to get rid of it," Halladay said after Sunday's setback.
Halladay struck out eight and allowed just one run on one hit in a six-inning no-decision against the Pirates, but was tagged for eight runs on nine hits in 3 2/3 frames against the Cleveland Indians in his next start on April 30.
The veteran right-hander, who turns 36 on May 14, is expected to fly to Los Angeles to be examined by Dr. Lewis Yocum.
"We'll probably have him examined out in California, but we'll know probably in a few days a little bit more," Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro, Jr. said. "Until we do any diagnostic work, we won't know exactly what's going on with him, but clearly it doesn't seem like he's very healthy."
Over seven starts this season, the two-time Cy Young Award winner is 2-4 with an 8.65 earned run average.

David Horowitz's "academic" standards: Under fire, right-wing campus watchdog admits Colorado exam story is phony after accusing Media Matters of slander
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Right-wing activist David Horowitz, the president of Students for Academic Freedom (SAF), which purports to fight anti-conservative bias on the nation's college campuses, has admitted that a story highly publicized by his group concerning alleged events at the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) "appears to be wrong," and that "our presentation of this case appears now to have had several faults." Horowitz made the concession in an article posted on FrontPageMag.com, his online magazine, on March 15, under the headline, "Correction: Some of Our Facts Were Wrong, But Our Point Was Right."
On March 14, in a post on his FrontPageMag.com blog titled "A new Brock slander goes round the web (and is refuted here)," Horowitz had accused Media Matters for America, which raised questions about whether the Colorado story was true in a March 7 item, of "slander" and insisted the story was true. Despite Horowitz's March 15 concession that the story is not true, the false attack on Media Matters is still posted on his blog.
The Horowitz about-face appears to have been prompted by a report, also posted March 15, on InsideHigherEd.com, which describes itself as "the online source for news, opinion and career advice and services for all of higher education," that refuted nearly all of the claims Horowitz and his SAF group had made regarding a student's purported allegations of political bias against her criminal justice professor at the UNC. Horowitz and SAF had alleged that a student in "[a] criminology class at a Colorado university," when asked on a midterm essay exam to explain "why President Bush was a war criminal," received a failing grade for answering instead why Saddam Hussein was a war criminal, and that this constituted anti-conservative bias. However, InsideHigherEd.com quoted a UNC spokeswoman as saying that "the test question was not the one described by Horowitz, the grade was not an F, and there were clearly non-political reasons for whatever grade was given." All the information the university had "was inconsistent with the story Horowitz has told about this incident," the website reported having been told by the UNC spokeswoman. The article also reported that the professor Horowitz and SAF attacked, Robert Dunkley, is a registered Republican.
Before retracting their claims, Horowitz and SAF had gone to great lengths to maintain their veracity in the face of skepticism from Mano Singham, the director of Case Western Reserve University's Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education, who questioned the Colorado story March 4 in a Cleveland Plain Dealer op-ed; and from Media Matters, which noted that media outlets were reporting the Horowitz story as if it were true even though there was no evidence to support it.
Horowitz attacked Media Matters for "slander," defended allegation as true, but again provided no proof
In a March 14 FrontPageMag.com blog post, Horowitz attacked Media Matters and defended the University of Northern Colorado story's veracity, writing: "The story about the Colorado exam is true and was even referenced by the president of the university in question, Kay Norton, at legislative hearings on the Academic Bill of Rights. The complete facts are available here." The link Horowitz provided was simply to the SAF homepage, where a March 14 article titled "University of N. Colorado Story Confirmed" was featured. The article seemed to provide a number of details surrounding the story that Horowitz and SAF had not previously disclosed -- the name of the professor, the course description, and the format of the essay exam -- but absolutely no documentation to back up those details or the allegation.
Horowitz and SAF promised forthcoming evidence
The March 14 SAF article claimed that UNC president Kay Norton had testified to the incident at a September 9, 2004, hearing before the Colorado state legislature's Joint Education Committee. However, the article provided no quotes, and no links to a transcript of Norton's testimony. In lieu of evidence, the SAF article originally promised that "[a]n audio file of the relevant portions of UNC President Norton's testimony, along with a transcript, will be posted to the Students for Academic Freedom website on Monday [March 14, 2005, presumably]." However, the language of the article was changed late on March 14 to read "[a]n audio file of the relevant portions of UNC President Norton's testimony, along with a transcript, will be posted to the Students for Academic Freedom website in the near future" [emphasis added]. The article also claimed that letters the student allegedly received from the UNC administration regarding the incident would be posted on the SAF website "as soon as the student returns from spring break," which, according to the university's website, ends on March 18. As of this posting, no audio files or transcripts have been posted on the SAF website or on FrontPageMag.com.
The SAF article also linked to a September 10, 2004, Washington Times article as "an example of the press coverage of the September 2004 legislative hearing." The Times article did report on the Joint Education Committee hearing, but did not mention Norton by name and made no mention whatsoever of the alleged incident. A Nexis search revealed a September 10, 2004, Associated Press article that mentioned Norton and the Joint Education Committee hearing. The AP article made a number of specific references to instances of alleged anti-conservative bias on college campuses, but there was no mention of the alleged UNC incident.
In lieu of substantiating evidence, Horowitz posted correction
In his March 15 FrontPageMag.com recantation, despite acknowledging that the InsideHigherEd.com article "debunked" a number of the facts he and SAF had reported on the UNC incident, Horowitz continued to claim that the exam was biased: "So while we apologize for not having fully checked and corrected this story, we conclude that our complaint about the exam was justified." Though the exam never asked students to "explain why George Bush is a war criminal," as Horowitz had falsely claimed, Horowitz opined that the actual exam question, as reported by InsideHigherEd.com, was "loaded." He then attacked "an army of Internet bloggers" who had allegedly joined with Case Western's Singham "to zero in one of the hundreds of cases [of anti-conservative bias on campuses] we have identified with the obvious intention of bringing the entire campaign for academic freedom and just plain decency in the classroom to a halt."
The blog on DiscovertheNetwork.org, a website run by Horowitz that purports to "identif[y] the individuals and organizations that make up the left and also the institutions that fund and sustain it," also touted Horowitz's "refutation" of the March 7 Media Matters item (here and here). The author of the posts, Richard Poe, who is identified as the blog's managing editor, has a reputation for spreading misinformation and using smear tactics. As Media Matters for America has documented, Poe floated a raft of distortions and factual misstatements in an attempt to smear billionaire philanthropist George Soros on the May 19, 2004, edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, and in a May 2004 article in the right-wing NewsMax magazine, of which Poe is a contributing editor.

Reynolds lifts Brewers past Yankees 6-5 in 9th
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Mark Reynolds had a game-ending RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers overcame Francisco Rodriguez's first blown save of the season for a 6-5 win Sunday over the New York Yankees.
Rickie Weeks doubled just inside the first base line with one out before going to third on a wild pitch by reliever Adam Warren (1-2).
Reynolds, who briefly played for New York last year, held his right index finger in the air after his hard chopper bounced past diving third baseman Yangervis Solarte at third to drive in Weeks two batters later. Reynolds then was mobbed by his teammates near first base.
The Yankees were one strike away from defeat in the top of the ninth when Mark Teixeira reached out for a low and away, full-count pitch from Rodriguez for a homer to right. It was the first run allowed all season by the veteran closer.
Rodriguez (1-0) did pick up the win. The Brewers' typically stingy bullpen gave up two runs to New York, including Solarte's run-scoring single in the seventh that drew New York within a run.
This time, the Brewers' bats picked up the relievers.
Sports Videos
It was the kind of scrappy victory manager Ron Roenicke was looking for with third baseman Aramis Ramirez sidelined by a hamstring injury and outfielder Ryan Braun already on the disabled list with an oblique injury.
Until the seventh, the Brewers appeared to be in control. They scraped out three runs in the sixth, highlighted by pinch-hitter Jonathan Lucroy's single and Logan Schafer's RBI double, to take a 5-3 lead. Weeks, who finished 3 for 5, drove in the third run that inning with a fielder's choice.
David Phelps had a so-so outing in his second start of the season after making nine appearances out of the bullpen for the Yankees. Starting in place of the injured Michael Pineda, he allowed eight hits and walked three in five-plus innings, allowing the leadoff runner to reach base five times.
But that performance might be good enough, for now, for a Yankees rotation battered by injuries. With Ivan Nova (elbow) already out for the season, the Yankees announced before the game that struggling left-hander CC Sabathia would join Pineda (upper back) on the disabled list with a right knee injury.
The lineup gave Phelps support early while taking advantage in a three-run first of starter Matt Garza, who allowed three walks and two hits in the inning, including Kelly Johnson's two-run double. Garza settled down to allow six hits, four walks and three runs in five innings.
Prior to the game, the Brewers gave Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter a gold-plated bat and a $10,000 check for his Turn 2 Foundation, which promotes healthy lifestyles among youth. The gifts were presented by Dick Groch, a special assistant to general manager Doug Melvin. Groch was the Yankees scout in 1992 who recommended the team draft Jeter in the first round that year.
NOTES: Yankees C John Ryan Murphy groundout to second was overturned to an infield single in the eighth after manager Joe Girardi requested a replay review, which took 53 seconds. ... Carlos Gomez was hit in the left forearm by a pitch from Phelps in the third, causing him to writhe in pain a few seconds. He stayed in the game. ... The Yankees come home for the Subway Series against the Mets, sending Huroki Kuroda (2-3) to the hill. The Brewers have Monday off, with Marco Estrada (2-1) scheduled to start Tuesday against the Pirates.

President's Climate Action Plan is a Mixed Bag
I want to make a few points about the climate plan President Obama spoke about yesterday. It's the kitchen sink of climate policy, so there is a lot to say – but I'll keep it brief.
Overall, this is a step in the right direction simply because the President stood up and gave a speech completely dedicated to addressing climate change. Climate was absent from the campaign trail and has only received piecemeal attention from the White House otherwise. While I have some concerns about the details of the plan, its mere existence is a starting point for a dialouge. Unfortunately, it is a dialouge that should be much further along.
The President's plan presents what he himself calls an "all of the above energy policy." That's a reassuring phrase. My concern is that one of the above—namely coal—is one of the top drivers of climate pollution. I am not suggesting that a better climate policy would require the immediate retirement of all the country's coal plants; that is patently irresponsible. But a better climate policy would at least recognize that coal is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Specifically, the White House plan proposes to support "clean coal" through loan guarantees for technologies such as carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) and "advanced fossil energy projects," which presumably includes technologies like coal gasification. The words "clean coal" peppered through this plan is worrisome. There is "cleaner" coal, which emits less carbon, less sulfur, or has other pollutant reductions, but no coal is clean in the sense that wind, solar, or energy efficiency is clean. Coal gasification can reduce pollutants and CCS can reduce carbon emissions to the atmosphere, but only if utilities can bring the technology to scale. But new technologies do not address the upstream impacts of coal, from mining to transportation, or the downstream waste storage problems.
Moreover, CCS may not ever be the technology that this plan envisions. When attached to a coal plant, CCS technology requires electricity to operate. That electricity comes directly from the coal plant to which it is attached, which means that CCS will reduce the amount of electricity that leaves the coal plant and goes to homes and businesses. Some estimate that CCS technology could require 40 percent of a coal plant's electrical output. This means that a coal plant would need to increase its output by 40 percent to make up for the electricity that goes to the CCS process, thereby burning over 40 percent more coal.
The loan guarantee plan is a sort of fossil fuel subsidy, albeit a subsidy that will help reduce the cost of private borrowing for "advanced fossil energy projects" rather than offer direct payments to the industry. In fact, elsewhere in his plan the President promises to reduce direct subsidies. Coal is king because it is cheap, and it is cheap, in part, because it has had help from the government. Reducing subsidies will help alternative energy sources compete.
One of the most valuable subsidies that coal power receives is permission to emit greenhouse gases, creating a significant social cost but bearing almost none of that cost internally. The new climate plan promises to remove this subsidy as well and that is an important highlight: President Obama promises to direct the Environmental Protection Agency to adopt carbon standards for new and existing power plants. The process is underway (albeit delayed) for new-plant standards but previous EPA statements indicated that the Agency would not address existing plants. Perhaps yesterday's announcement will change that.
Everything I've so far discussed is aimed at reducing climate change. These issues, and many others, have been at the center of the climate change debate, in one form or another, since the beginning. Adaptation, however, has been mostly absent. Yet adaptation is critical. The climate ball is rolling and mitigation seeks to slow it. Adaptation helps us avoid getting flattened by it. Adaptation helps sure-up infrastructure and make society more resilient to change. Local governments have been working tirelessly to adapt and organizations such as Mayor Bloomberg's C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group have been supporting urban resilience efforts. But adaptation has not been a major part of the national dialouge.
With respect to mitigation, the President's plan largely works at the margin. But with respect to adaptation, whether it is strengthening coastlines or protecting hospitals from floods, the President has finally raised its policy profile and that will likely be the biggest achievement of this plan.
