Once a simple student, Karigan G'ladheon finds herself in a world of deadly danger and complex magic, compelled by forces she cannot understand when she becomes a legendary Green Rider-one of the magical messengers of the king.

The coming peso storm
- Details
- Category: Opinion
04 Feb 2013
- Written by John Mangun
ON July 1, 1979, Sony Corp. began selling the Walkman cassette tape player. Portable music had been around since the transistor radio of the 1950s. What made the Walkman particularly revolutionary was the built-in headphone.
Music had always basically been a shared social activity among listeners. But with the Walkman, people began listening to music "alone." No more fighting over which tape would be played on the car stereo. Now everyone could listen in private to whatever music they desired.
The iPod and the music player on your cell phone is nothing more than a technological advancement of the Walkman. The private and personal music concept is exactly the same today as it was with the Walkman 34 years ago.
Had the world not accepted "private music" back then, the world might be different today.
There are events that happen that change the world. But not all events with far-reaching consequences are necessarily planned to produce the results that they do.
At the beginning of the Obama presidency in 2009, the US Federal Reserve began its stimulus program call Quantitative Easing (QE). The idea was to create enough money, put it into the economy through the banks, and get economic activity moving again. After creating $3-trillion new dollars and the US government going $6.5 trillion more in debt, the total policy is a failure at stimulating economic growth.
More significantly, this is what has happened.
For the first time in the history of the country, the majority of the increase in personal consumption spending since 2009 has come from government personal benefit spending. Considering that the US economy is driven by consumer spending, that economy would have grown only a little if at all in the last four years. Government spending paid for by borrowing is keeping the US economy alive. But the borrowing must be paid.
If the US raises taxes to pay for the debt, the economy stops. If the US cuts benefits to save money and reduce borrowing, the US economy stops.
Here is why you should care about all this.
The QE program is printing dollars to pay off the debt, flooding the global financial system with "cheap" dollars, which directly affects the exchange rate of the peso.
Last week David Kemper, CEO of Commerce Bankshare, and more important, a former president of the Federal Advisory Council of the Federal Reserve suggested that the Federal Reserve monetize all the US debt in the world at once, printing another $30 trillion (instead of the current $3 trillion in QE money) and buy back all the US government debt from China and everyone else.
This would create a massive devaluation of the US dollar as China, for example, would be forced to spend those dollars or sit on another trillion of devaluating greenbacks.
Without arguing the merits of a strong or weak peso, the truth is those arguments are worthless. Whether or not the US prints another $30 trillion, the dollar is going to continue to devalue and the peso will continue to appreciate.
One major global financial institution is forecasting a 38/39 peso to the dollar by year-end, partly of due to dollar weakness, part due to the Philippine economic situation.
The administration is all excited about a credit upgrade this year. That upgrade itself will strengthen the peso. Government dollar interest payments will be lower adding about 25 to 50 centavos to the value of the peso.
There are tens of billions of dollars in investments including foreign direct investments waiting to come into the Philippines but cannot because we are not investment grade. Once the upgrade occurs, that foreign money will flood into the country adding another P1 or P2 to the dollar exchange rate. There is your P38 to $1.
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is currently acting like Harry Potter trying to learn the secret to the magic wand that is going to keep the peso from appreciating. What they should be doing is acting like Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services preparing the people and the economy for the eventual peso appreciation storm.
As the BSP tries to keep the peso weak, more pesos through dollar buying flow into the local economy risking asset bubbles and inflation. That is why you keep reading comments worrying about real estate.
How can you protect yourself from peso appreciation? Buy the stock market; either way it goes higher. If the BSP weakens the peso, more pesos in the economy will flow to the market. If market forces bring the peso to 38, more foreign money will raise stock prices. The Philippine Stock Exchange is a good umbrella to protect you from the peso appreciation storm.

- Monterey County judge throws out Steve Collins' lawsuit
A defense attorney has asked state Attorney General Kamala Harris to take over the prosecution of former water director Steve Collins, citing a litany of conflicts confronting the District Attorney's Office.
In a letter delivered Tuesday, San Francisco lawyer Dan Clymo, who represents Collins, states the already tainted prosecution was further complicated by a judge's ruling last week that only Monterey County, not California American Water, can challenge the contracts from the failed Regional Desalination Project.
At issue in both civil litigation and the criminal prosecution is whether Collins posed a conflict of interest by working as a consultant on the desalination project while he sat on the board of the Monterey County Water Resources Agency, a project partner. At stake is a determination of who must pay the $18 million cost of the failed project, Cal Am, Marina Coast Water District or the county.
At this point, San Francisco Judge Curtis Karnow has ruled the contracts are valid, which leaves Marina Coast Water District seeking reimbursement for its costs. Karnow's ruling leaves it up to the county to challenge the contracts based on Collins' alleged conflict.
If it does, Clymo reasoned, the county's chances of winning improve greatly if Collins is criminally convicted at a trial. The situation, he said, presents a financial conflict of interests for local prosecutors and the county.
"A criminal conviction will make the civil case far more likely to succeed in Monterey County's behalf," he wrote.
Collins is awaiting trial on felony conflict-of-interest charges in connection with $160,000 he was paid by RMC Water and Environment for his work on the desalination project. The project would have replaced Cal Am's reliance on the Carmel River as it faces down a 2016 deadline imposed by the state. Approved by the California Public Utilities Commission in December 2010, the project crumbled months later when Collins' role was revealed.
Clymo said Karnow's ruling is only the latest conflict in the case. He also cited Assistant District Attorney Stephanie Hulsey's efforts to protect Supervisor Lou Calcagno and other county officials from having to testify at the criminal trial. Collins has passed a polygraph test, Clymo said, in which he said he took the consulting job with RMC Water and Environment at the urging of Calcagno and county water chief Curtis Weeks, and after he'd been assured by the county's attorneys that he had no conflict of interest.
Other conflicts the lawyer cited: Calcagno allegedly urged the District Attorney's Office to prosecute Collins; the board of supervisors sets the district attorney's budget (the Monterey County Public Defender's Office has already declared a conflict for that reason); under the water agency's enabling act, all county officials, including the entire district attorney's office, are members of the agency; and Hulsey is running unopposed for the Monterey County Superior Court bench.
Hulsey said her office consulted with the Attorney General's Office before filing charges against Collins in 2011 and was told there was no conflict. She said the appropriate way for Clymo to seek replacement of the District Attorney's Office is a formal "motion to recuse," which he has not done.
Clymo's letter paints Calcagno in a harsh light. He alleges the supervisor cleverly used a controversial appellate court ruling which bars prosecution of a public official for aiding and abetting a conflict of interest where the official did not personally profit. By urging charges against Collins, he said, the supervisor set Collins up as the fall guy, thus granting himself "legislative immunity."
Through his aide, Calcagno said he will not comment on the case until after Collins' trial.
Collins' attorney said his client is an accountant with no criminal past who was misled by Calcagno to consult on the project, then dissuaded from resigning his board post with reassurances by the county's attorneys that his actions were legal.
"When the desal project failed and left a trail of bad publicity, the same board of supervisors who recruited (Collins) asked for his prosecution," Clymo concluded. "The same lawyers that advised him now claim ignorance. Every single person involved in the prosecution of Mr. Collins stands to gain politically."
The only way to resolve the conflict, he said, is for the Attorney General's Office to take over the prosecution.

You look brilliant! That is one of the many little phrases printed on this cotton fabric, and the phrase is peeking out of the zippered pocket in this photo. There are lots of cute teddy bears, too. I bought this fabric in Korea last February because I liked the quirky design. I used it to sew a birthday gift for Howie's daughter who turns 27 on Thursday. We celebrated last Sunday.
I used Bernina My Label for the pattern. These are lounging pants, so the waistband is nice wide elastic (I get mine from Pamela's Patterns or in NYC). I like to sew a tube just large enough to fit the elastic and attach it to the waist. Then I finish the edge with the serger; catching just the edge of the elastic. That way it never twists or rolls.
The pockets have zippers on them. From the inside of the pants, you can see the pockets. First I serged the edges of the pockets, then pinned them to the pants. From the front, I used chalk to rub the outline of the pockets. That gave me just enough of a visual so I could quickly stitch them using the coverhem without much gnashing of teeth. Once finished, a shot of steam from the iron removed chalk.
And here are the finished pants:
Either she is a very good faker, or, she really liked them.
Happy Birthday, Kelly!!

Once upon a time, we all thought that fairytales meant perfection, that those were all of our dreams made true, and we all wished to be those damsels in distress, those princesses under evil's hands, waiting for our charming prince to appear.
But the truth is very different.
Fairytale Characters are being attacked by evil forces, in order to destroy them, and leave human children without imagination, so they would be able to control their brains, and their dimension, or THR (The real World) as they call it.
Now, Fairytale Characters need help, they are staying with a pretty nice vampire clan: The Cullens... or a part of them, to hide themselves, trying to have a human life. But they're not alone. They have found a helping hand in some childish teenagers.

FRIDAY, Sept. 17 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration has approved a new use for three cardiac
resychronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-D) to treat people
with a heart abnormality called left bundle branch block who also
have mild cases of heart failure or heart failure with no
The devices are all made by Boston Scientific Corp. As CRT-D
devices, they combine the ability to shock an abnormally beating
heart back to its normal rhythm, and the ability to improve
coordination of the heart's left and right ventricles as they pump
blood through the body.
In people with left bundle branch block, activation of the left
ventricle is delayed, causing it to beat out of step with the
heart's right ventricle.
In a news release, the FDA said the new approval was based on
results from an 1,820-person, three-year study that found among
people with left bundle branch block, the CRT-D devices reduced the
risk of death by 57 percent, compared to those fitted with a
standard implanted defibrillator.
CRT-Ds are to be used in addition to heart failure drug therapy,
not as a replacement for it, the agency warned.
As a condition of approval, the FDA said it is requiring Boston
Scientific to conduct two long-term studies of the devices.

Comments about Miele S7 Swing Metallic Upright Vacuum:
After reading a few reviews about how wonderful this brand vacuum was compared to the Dyson's I figured after owning 6, (one for upstairs & one for the downstairs), Of most every style, over a 9-10 year span I'd figured I'd try out something new, I like the feature on this vacuum that allows it to completely lay flat to get hard to reach areas, the LED lighting but it's nonfunctional on hardwood or tile floors, it does not pick up a hair, a piece of fuzz, nothing! 25% of my home is carpet the rest is hardwood and tile this item is useless, I'd return it but through out the box so I'm stuck with it!Don't waste your $$$$$$
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The auction of movie legend Greta Garbo's personal effects brought in more than three times the expected total.
LOS ANGELES — A two-day sale of clothing, jewelry and other memorabilia belonging to reclusive movie star Greta Garbo fetched $1.6 million, more than three times the original estimate, according to Julien's Auctions.
Garbo's Louis Vuitton "streamer trunk," which sold for $37,500, was among the top sellers in the auction of 800 items which began Friday, along with three leather driving caps she wore in a 1924 car advertisement that fetched $15,000.
A U.S. passport issued to her in 1964, which carried an estimate of $3,000-$5,000, also sold for $15,000, and a 1930s black velvet evening dress that had an estimated value of $1,200 went to the highest bidder for $13,750.
"Greta Garbo commanded Marilyn Monroe prices," Martin Nolan, the executive director of the Beverly Hills auction house, said in a statement. "Her beauty, extraordinary screen presence and fashion trending style were proven to be timeless."
Garbo, one of Hollywood's greatest stars and beauties, died in New York in 1990 at age 84. She retired from film and public life decades earlier in 1941.
All of the items in the sale, including a platform bed she designed with antique Swedish carvings, photos, luggage and documents, had been kept in storage before her family decided to sell them in the auction that was announced in August.
Garbo started her Hollywood career in silent movies such as 1927's "Flesh and the Devil" and was among the few actors to successfully transition to talkies, becoming iconic not only for her beauty, but for her brains and the streak of independence she displayed on film and in her personal life.
The Swedish actress earned four Academy Award nominations, her first for 1929's "Anna Christie," and was finally given an honorary award for unforgettable performances by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1954.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
John F. Mendoza Elementary School is an excellent school. It was the only school to attend the annual NV PEP Bully Walk on September 29, 2013, in which I attended with my children. Parents are most welcome at Mendoza and teachers are at high levels of teaching with the great leadership of the the principal. It saddens me when I see ratings such as the one on 11/12/13. What would happen if parents were surveyed and rated on their parenting skills? One of the major issues facing CCSD and schools like Mendoza are the lack of parental involvement from families and/or the ineffective parenting skills that parents have. Mendoza is a great school with high levels of academics and where ongoing social skills training occurs. The school counselor is awesome and available to staff, parents and students for a variety of issues like bullying. In short, be a role model, practice what you preach, and what have you done to provide solutions to your problems at Mendoza? Is the grass really greener on the other side? Something to think about as you were in haste to judge this school and its staff. As a parent, I enjoy being at Mendoza and learning how to be a better parent and human being.
I have had all three of my kids go though this school from K on. The office staff is the best. Thank you for many years of great service.
The entire school community at John F. Mendoza Elementary School is amazing! Even when times are tough, the entire staff are truly committed to high-quality education at Mendoza. Bravo! Keep up the increased test scores and overall upward student achievement. You are in the right direction!
My daughter has been going to this school for 2 years and this luckly is her last year at this school.Thank Goodness!!!The teacher are nice and caring.Office staff and Principal are rude.First time I every came in office and needed to talk to the nurse the ladies in the front just looked at me and ignored me,I ask for the pricipal he came in the office and just looked at me and gave a crazy look which I didnt appricate.I was in shocked. Bad leadership.
My son has attended Mendoza for 3 years. His teachers all seem to be very caring and I'm pleased with them. As for the office staff they are THE WORST!!!!! I have been to the office twice and I was treated like dirt once & saw a girl treated like dirt the second time. If I was to treat a guest at the casino this way I'm sure I'd be written up! Teachers need to teach them how to speak to parents & help the children. I understand dealing with kids is not always easy, but what job is? Other then that this school is good.They always have after school programs which is great.
This is the most caring school in Las Vegas, from the Principal to the Janitor - they all care about the students and their grades.
Iam new to the district and it is my grand child attending but so far i like what i have seen and that is a huge compliment coming from me, because i feel that the schools all across america have failed our children it is not the parents fault, it is on the fault of the educators that kids are dropping out of school like flies . when i was a child my educators were so good i can still at my age remember their names.
The staff is wonderful I give them 5 stars the Principal gets also 5 stars. What I believe needs alot of improvement is the ESL programs.
The school is managed by the principal in a very organized and proficient manner. She is easily accessible and responsive to the needs of the students, parents and staff. Mrs. Evans has worked tirelessly to improve student achievement and maintain high educational standards at Mendoza ES.
The teachers at Mendoza are top in their field. Excellence seems to be a mild description of their performance. With my children, they have always gone above and beyond the call of duty. Mrs. Evans has proven her leadership skills again and again. My experiences at Mendoza is what has kept me and my family in this area. I am truly grateful to all for the extreme effort and care.
John F. Mendoza is an excellent school! It made AYP thanks to the efforts of the teachers, staff and principals(Mrs. Evans & Mr. Lago). The teachers and staff made the students and parents very aware of the importance of AYP and the fact that they could make it happen. The students were excited about showing their parents how hard they had worked. For their efforts they had a fun filled BBQ and received t-shirts showing they had made their goal. This year, my son in particular wants to show he can do it again. He tells me other students want to do the same. I know with the staff and desire of the students they will make it again because Mendoza is the BEST!
Mendoza Elementary shines once again! We made AYP thanks to the leadership of the Administration. They worked diligently with the wonderful teachers at our school to strive for excellence. They achieved AYP by offering Saturday school for the students that needed extra help in writing and math skills. They informed the community of the importance of parent involvement. They implemented programs to get parents involved with their children's education. They encouraged the parents to volunteer in the classroom and to be active participants in the learning process at school as well as at home. (A key to success in my opinion.) The No Child Left Behind Act is not perfect, but I feel that it has made our school accountable for student achievement. As parents, we must look at the bigger picture of education in America and place higher expectations for our children. Congratulations John F. Mendoza for a job well done!
I have had a child at Mendoza for the last 8 years and have had a great experience there. My girls have learned so much and it shows by how well they are doing in Middle School and High School that they have had great teachers at Mendoza. I have a daughter in 2nd grade and one that will follow in a couple of years. I am so pleased with the staff and teachers at Mendoza, They take a personal and professional intrest in my daughters lives. I am happy with Mendoza and tell everyone that it is the best school.
I have three boys that attend Mendoza. The office staff everytime I walk in greets me. The principal is wonderful. She is always available to talk to. She makes it a point to know her students and parents. My boys have been attending this school for five years. I have had wonderful teachers for all three of them. They have always made themselves available to me. Mendoza has a safe and caring enviroment. I am very happy with the teachers, staff, and administrators. I wouldn't want my child anywhere else.
My child has been in Mendoza from 1st to 4th grade which she is still in and is still attending Mendoza. There are a few great teachers at Mendoza, Ms. Day being the best teacher ever. As far as the school itself, I am not happy with them. They are always doing fund raisers, yet they never go on any field trips just to name one problem. I also agree with the other parent that wrote a review. They don't go out of the way to meet with you.
My son attended Mendoza from K-2. I was not at all pleased with this schools overall performance. The faculty was often too busy to hear my concerns, or meet with me about his curricular experience. I was extemely displeased and was relieved when accepted to the magnet school program.

TUESDAY, Oct. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Older women who get regular
dental care are about one-third less likely to suffer from heart
disease than those who don't, new findings suggest.
The study doesn't prove that dental care directly improves the
heart health of women by lowering the risk of conditions like heart
attack and stroke, and dental care seemed to have no benefit for
men at all in terms of heart disease, but even so, the study
authors were still impressed by the findings.
The study, which was released online Sept. 29 in advance of
publication in an upcoming print issue of
Health Economics, analyzed the medical records of nearly 7,000 people aged 44 to 88 who had participated in another study. The data from that study had been collected between 1996 and 2004.
The authors of the new study came to their conclusions after
reviewing the data and adjusting the numbers so they wouldn't be
thrown off by large or small numbers of people who were, among
other things, overweight or users of alcohol and tobacco.
"We think the findings reflect differences in how men and women develop cardiovascular disease," study co-author Dr. Stephen Brown, a obstetrician/gynecologist resident at West Virginia University, said in a news release from the University of California at Berkeley. "Other studies suggest that estrogen has a protective effect against heart disease because it helps prevent the development of atherosclerosis. It's not until women hit menopause, around age 50 to 55, that they start catching up with men."
Dr. Maria Emanuel Ryan, a professor of oral biology and
pathology at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, N.Y., said she
has seen signs of a link between dental care and heart disease in
her own practice. The study, she said, "confirms the findings of
some of the studies conducted in the insurance industry, which
suggest that the medical costs for cardiac care and diabetes are
reduced in patients who have regular dental visits."
There does appear to be a connection between gum disease, in
particular, and heart disease. Research suggests that chronic
inflammation causes heart disease, Ryan noted, and gum disease "is
the most common chronic inflammatory condition in the world.
Unfortunately, periodontitis -- or gum disease -- is often a silent
disease that goes undetected and untreated."

"Amazing Recipes!!! - I've recently become infatuated with the benefits of a raw food diet and have downloaded tons of apps in the past. Raw food, vegan, vegetarian, healthy cooking, etc. NONE of them have recipes like these!! The pictures are beautiful and incredibly inspiring!!

The raw food diet is a derivative of most vegan and vegetarian diets, and it is based on the belief that the most healthy food for the body is uncooked. Although most meals are eaten raw, heating food is acceptable as long as the temperature stays below 40 °C (104 °F) to 46 °C (115 °F).
Cooking is thought to denature the enzymes naturally present in food. According to raw foodists, enyzymes are the life force of a food, helping us to digest food and absorb nutrients. If we consume too much cooked food, our bodies are forced to work harder by producing more enzymes. Over time, a lack of enzymes from food is thought to lead to digestive problems, nutrition deficiency, accelerated aging, and weight gain.
Cooking food can also diminish its nutritional value. For example, the cancer-fighting compounds in broccoli, sulforaphanes, are greatly reduced when broccoli is cooked. Certain vitamins, such as vitamin C and folate, are destroyed by heat.
Cooking also promotes the formation of potentially harmful compounds in food during high heat cooking, such as advanced glycation end products and heterocyclic amines.
A raw food plan is by nature low in fat, and this cookbook is a free and easy way to get your started on leveraging the power found in eating these super foods.

Don't make it free if you are offering only 10 recipes free. Too pushy about upgrading. In 5 minutes the app asked me thrice to upgrade. Not buying!
(54 stars)
This app comes in handy for me without having to look the recipe books while preparing meals. And also much more recipes included than my old recipe book.
(54 stars)
Thanks to this free app that I do a planned vegetable shopping, because I know what to cook. Otherwise previously I bought useless stuffs that taste bad.
(54 stars)
I have not finished with all the recipes in this app but the recipes should not repeat. This would be irritating. So far good and trying out the recipes one by one.
(54 stars)
This app simplified the way I took food. Atleast I now know what to eat next instead of searching for vegan recipes on the internet.
(54 stars)
The photos of green vegetables look cool on my phone. I am a vegetarian and love this app.

Excellent column on Iran from Roger Cohen. Too good to quote, really. But the key theme is "the U.S. propensity to fixate on and demonize a country through a one-dimensional lens, with a sometimes disastrous chain of results."

What's not to love about a caprese salad? Ripe tomatoes, mozzarella, fresh basil… It's almost guaranteed to be delicious.
I'll tell you what's not to love about it though… it's not exactly a meal.
But, with a few handfuls of greens and some grilled chicken, you can quickly turn it into a meal!
It's flavorful, pretty healthy, and a quick way to get dinner on the table without even turning on the oven or stove.
Chicken Caprese Salad
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed
- Spinach or Arugula
- Fresh Basil
- Olive oil, for drizzling
1) Add chicken breasts to a bowl with a good drizzle of olive oil, salt, basil, and paprika. Mix together and let sit for a few minutes or you prep them a few hours in advance.
2) Grill chicken on high heat for 6-8 minutes per side until the breasts are cooked through (will depend on thickness of your breasts).
3) Let chicken rest for a few minutes and then slice into pieces.
4) Half tomatoes and toss with cubed mozzarella. Stir in spinach or arugula and drizzle with olive oil.
5) Stir in diced chicken and a handful of chopped fresh basil. Serve immediately!
If you are going to store it for the next day, don't mix in the spinach or arugula until just before you serve it so it doesn't get wilted.
Adapted from a Food and Wine Sept 2012 recipe.
The Chicken
Marinated chicken gives this salad some protein which turns it into a solid meal rather than just an appetizer.
For my chicken, I just tossed a few chicken breasts with olive oil, dried basil, and paprika, plus some salt and pepper obviously.
I just stirred this all together and let it sit for a few minutes.
Then heat up your grill and cook these bad boys on high heat for about 7-8 minutes per side until the breasts are cooked through.
Try not to overcook them. One of my least favorite things about working with chicken breasts is that they dry out really quickly if you overcook them.
Let your chicken rest for a few minutes so the juices can redistribute in the meat and then just chop them up!
About a chicken breast per person is a good gauge if you're serving this as a meal.
If you are using it as an appetizer, half a chicken breast per person would be just fine.
Salad Basics
I actually made this salad with two different kinds of greens over two days. I tried it with arugula and baby spinach. Both were very tasty.
I think I preferred the arugula just because it was peppery and had some bite to it. The spinach was good also though.
Besides some greens all you need are some ripe tomatoes and good mozzarella cheese.
Dice up the tomatoes and mozzarella and your work for the salad is basically done!
When you are ready to serve the salad, toss the chicken in with the cheese and tomatoes and drizzle in some good olive oil.
Then add your greens very last.
If you add them too early, they might turn soggy which is never good.
Dice up some fresh basil if you can and add that to the salad for more of that traditional caprese flavor.
If you are keeping this salad for leftovers, I recommend not mixing in the greens until right before you eat it. The greens don't really keep all that well with all the other stuff. They will get really wilted and kind of gross.
You could easily throw this meal together on a weeknight and then have the leftovers on day two for lunch or dinner. It's healthy, flavorful, and definitely a whole meal of food.

Although tasty, this was not nice and thick like hot fudge should be. The only thing I changed was to use chocolate chips instead of bittersweet chocolate, as that is what I had on hand. This had the consistency and taste of Hershey's Syrup. If they could re-formulate this recipe so that it would be thicker, they'd have a winner. In the meantime, I will just buy a bottle of Hershey's Syrup, instead of making this again.
