PITTSBURGH - It was a play symbolic of a lost season, filled with hope and despair and all the things in between.
PITTSBURGH - Once the Miami Dolphins got used to the snow, the Pittsburgh Steelers were no problem.
PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin's not-so-nimble footwork provided a pretty good impersonation of his team's decidedly graceless season during a 22-20 loss to Baltimore on Thursday night.
BALTIMORE - For all of their shortcomings this season, the Baltimore Ravens are right in the middle of the playoff hunt.
BALTIMORE - Ben Roethlisberger draped his right arm around Emmanuel Sanders after the receiver emerged from the showers in the locker room, the quarterback accepting the blame for a failed 2-point conversion that settled a yes-no-yes-no-yes-no, 22-20 finish befitting the tense rivalry between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens.
BALTIMORE - A game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens usually features hard hits, flying helmets and a pivotal play in the final minutes.
CLEVELAND - Their horrendous start has long been forgotten, erased with an equally unexpected turnaround.
PITTSBURGH - The Pittsburgh Steelers' running game ranks 30th in the NFL, so they turned to a familiar face to possibly give it a boost.
PITTSBURGH - Forget the exotic coverage schemes. Throw out the double teams. Oh, and the triple teams too.
PITTSBURGH - The future of the Pittsburgh Steelers' season might not rely so much on quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's right arm as it will on his hands.
PITTSBURGH - The problem, EJ Manuel insisted, wasn't rust. It wasn't the wind or the sprained right knee that forced him to miss a month, either.
PITTSBURGH - The Pittsburgh Steelers spent three hours making Buffalo quarterback EJ Manuel look very much like the rookie he is.

Relax, guys, you get to "kick the dog" this week. If Mullen keeps it within 4 touchdowns, I'll be shocked.
thanks man, a lot of people are down right now maybe this will cheer some of us up. I seriously wish I hadn't given up alcohol
If they have any receivers who can run a go route, they've got a great chance of standing alone in the end zone waiting for an easy TD pass. Hold us under 50 and you've got a chance.
lol; highly unlikely. For those of you coming up: Be sure and get a beer on the Cotton District; check out Stagger In and the Little Dooey. Good BBQ.
My dad is a graduate of MSU. We used to go as kids to games so I am still a bit of a fan. Only other SEC that I like besides LSU.
We SHOULD handle the Bulldogs easily but this could also turn into a tuff one coming off a big loss and the Bulldogs having an off week to prepare. In the end TIGERS win 42-27

Bad, bad boys. Needs more publicity as a warning to others.
Good point Sarah, Dellums should be in jail.

Heinrich Füger
Heinrich Friedrich Füger (help·info) (8 December 1751 Heilbronn – 5 November 1818 Vienna) was a German portrait and historical painter.
He was a pupil of Guibal in Stuttgart and of Oeser in Leipzig. Afterward he traveled and spent some time in Rome and Naples, where he painted frescoes in the Palazzo Caserta. On his return to Vienna he was appointed court painter, professor and vice director of the Academy, and in 1806 director of the Belvedere Gallery. Among his historical paintings are: "The Farewell of Coriolanus" (Czernin Gallery, Vienna), "Allegory on the Peace of Vienna" (1801), "The Death of Germanicus" (1789), "The Murder of Caesar", and "Bathsheba" (Budapest Gallery). Among his portraits are those of the Emperor Joseph II, the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Wilhelmine of Württemberg, Queen Caroline of Naples, and Lord Nelson (National Portrait Gallery, London). He painted in the classic style of David and Mengs and was inclined to be theatrical.
Füger was also a teacher; among his pupils was Gustav Philipp Zwinger, and Franciszek Ksawery Lampi.[1]

As a result, the company is able to offer medium-priced homes, as opposed to the low-income or upscale housing usually associated with city renewal projects. To help spur sales among middle-market buyers, American CityVista has arranged a financing deal with Fannie Mae, whereby buyers can get mortgages requiring neither down payments nor closing costs.
"The key is taking advantage of economies of scale. That's what's driving the success of this venture. We're in effect harnessing the capabilities of a national builder," says Mr. Cisneros, who also previously served as president of Spanish-language TV broadcaster Univision.
The company works with regional builders as well. For example, it is constructing its first Pacific CityHome project, a 150-home community in the Central California city of Santa Maria, with the help of Watt Builders. Other local partners include the Dallas Housing Authority and Southern California's Montage Development.
Mr. Cisneros also has launched American Sunrise, a nonprofit group whose focus is community redevelopment projects in San Antonio. The organization is building and refurbishing scores of units in some of the city's poorest neighborhoods.
American CityVista goes to considerable pains to make its communities attractive. Each development has identifying design elements and a range of floor plans and models. The company's Cielito Lindo community in Laredo, for instance, features a contemporary South Texas theme.
Urban renewal has long been identified as a major challenge facing U.S. cities. However, Mr. Cisneros says American CityVista does not engage in community redevelopment in the traditional sense. While the company does work with local governments on land-use issues, it does not partner with government redevelopment agencies.
"This is a case of the private sector looking for market opportunities," says Mr. Cisneros. "These are market transactions. And what we're seeing is the wave of the future. The 1990s saw a lot of this on a small scale. Other companies will begin doing this for the reason that it is so hard to find land to build on anymore."
Bruce Karatz, chairman and CEO of KB Home, agrees - to a point.
"I think that our positive experience so far bodes well for others to attempt something similar. But we [American CityVista] bring together some unique attributes," he says, citing his own firm's extensive experience serving the first-time-homebuyer market and both the background and the indefatigable efforts of Mr. Cisneros on behalf of the project.
KB Home is one of the nation's largest homebuilders. The company built more than 25,500 homes and reported revenue of $5.03 billion last year. The former number includes units built in France by Kaufman & Broad S.A., a KB Home subsidiary. The company has domestic operating divisions in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Texas.
According to Mr. Karatz, one of the biggest challenges American CityVista has had to contend with is revenue shortfalls at the local level, which often prompt cash-strapped municipalities to opt for retail outlets instead
of residential developments.
"As a general matter, communities recognize there is a huge shortage of housing, particularly for middle-income residents. But when it comes to actually making decisions about development projects, they take the easy way out by putting in a car dealership or some other tax-revenue-generating operation. It's going to be a continual challenge," he says.
As a result, American CityVista continues to meet with opposition from some local officials, despite the firm's impressive run of success to date.
Victor Miramontes, American CityVista's vice-chairman and COO, says the key to overcoming such resistance is highlighting the potential economic benefits of residential development. He cites Toyota's recent decision to locate an $800 million Tundra manufacturing facility just south of American CityVista's Lago Vista community in San Antonio as an example of the economic vitality that residential development often occasions. The plant will initially employ about 2,500 workers.
"In no way are we saying that Lago Vista was the only or even the main reason that Toyota picked that site. But we feel that it was a contributing factor in the decision," says Mr. Miramontes, formerly the CEO of the North American Development Bank.
"What we're saying is homeownership is the cornerstone of community renewal."

Drinking alcohol in the Jake Godbold City Hall Annex, as Public Defender Matt Shirk said occurred in his office there, is a violation of city law.
Shirk on Tuesday declined an interview request by The Florida Times-Union to learn more about the frequency and circumstances of the drinking. Instead, he said in an email that he stood by comments he made to the paper on Friday that he hadn't violated any laws.
City law states it is a Class B offense for someone to "consume any alcoholic beverage" at or in a building owned or leased by the city. The offense is punishable by paying "a fine of not more than $50 or by imprisonment of not more than 30 days, or by both a fine and imprisonment."
Mark Woods: Booze in that office perfect for columnist
The city has leased the Godbold building, located at 407 N. Laura St., from the Jacksonville Police and Fire Fund since 2007. In May, City Council approved a deal to purchase the building for $14.3 million. The Public Defender's Office moved into the Godbold building in October 2011.
The General Counsel's Office confirmed, through City Hall spokesman David DeCamp, that the city law applies to the Godbold building. DeCamp said the city wouldn't comment any further on the matter because a special prosecutor has been assigned to investigate Shirk's office.
There's no language in the specific alcohol ordinance exempting constitutional officers like Shirk from following the law. Neither the city nor the Public Defender's Office could say Tuesday whether a waiver from adhering to the law had been obtained or sought by the Public Defender's Office.
"We are doubtful that one was given," said DeCamp, "but we need until tomorrow morning to exhaust every point of our review."

A disaster needn't be federally declared as such by the President of the United States in order to fit the bill. A disaster is usually classified as an interruption of ordinary societal functioning and, as such, a threat to safety or security. Loss of life, injury, human suffering, and property damage are common elements of a large-scale disaster.
A disaster may be human-caused or due to the forces of nature. Some of these forces that can cause chaos and disruption include hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
Bloggers note that disaster planning includes obtaining and maintaining emergency supplies such as a 72 hour kit, which includes a first-aid kit, training for emergency response by learning CPR and rescue skills, and having in place an evacuation plan and a designated meeting point for health checks and accountability.

So I've been pondering for sometime what to do this blog. I miss RPing but I can't see myself RPing Karen anymore. So after some thought and a major fandom change (I've rediscovered my love of Hetalia) I've decided to start RPing Fem!America from that fandom (I contemplated Liechtenstein but then decided she was too much like Karen).
I am not deleting this blog but it will no longer be active. Feel free to follow me over there and interacting with me if you wish. I'm still getting things set up but yeah…if you want to feel free. If not that's fine I know Hetalia is not for everyone lol.
Thanks everyone for the past year of good times and bad. I shall miss you all.
((So tired and yet I can't seem to fall asleep.))

Love you so much. *kisses*))

Unlike most digital camera makers, consumer electronics giant Sony has had the resources and clout to design and market its own, proprietary memory card format. Although Sony camera owners can't use other kinds of cards (except in a few higher-end models that also accept CompactFlash), the Sony Memory Stick (MS) universe is large and constantly expanding. The company's latest PRO Duo card is a good example; at 8GB it has twice the capacity of its predecessor. It's also fast, with a maximum transfer rate of 20MB/second.
Those are impressive specs given the card's tiny form factor, 31x20x1.6mm, slightly smaller than an SD card. The PRO Duo also comes with an adapter that allows it to be used in cameras that accept the original (physically larger) Memory Stick cards. Unlike other card formats, MS supports Sony's MagicGate copy protection, which allows you to play (but not share) protected material such as music, video, and games downloaded from compatible devices. About $170.
Lexar Professional UDMA Card Readers
With a league-leading read/write speed of 45MB/second, Lexar's new Professional 300X CompactFlash cards are currently the fastest on the market. They won't deliver their full upload speed, however, with just any reader: You'll need one of Lexar's souped-up Ultra Direct Memory Access (UDMA) card readers. The Professional 300X CompactFlash Reader looks identical to its predecessor and, likewise, can be used in a stacked group of up to four for simultaneous downloads from multiple cards. To achieve its 100MB/second transfer rate -- twice that of the older unit -- the new model uses a faster FireWire 800 interface, for which there are two ports.
A second new high-speed card reader, the Lexar Professional Dual-Slot Reader, has a single USB 2.0 data port that allows downloads at up to 60MB/second. But it accepts both CompactFlash and SD formats, including Lexar's new Professional 133X SDHC cards. The reader also has a stylish, translucent clamshell cover to protect the card slots. About $80.

Explosion shakes prison near Athens
An explosion outside a maximum security prison in Korydallos, west of Athens, has injured a young woman, according to Greek police. Greek media received an anonymous tip-off before the attack.
By NEWS WIRES (text)
AFP - An explosive device went off outside a maximum security prison near Athens on Thursday, injuring one person, after an anonymous tip-off to Greek media, a police source said.
"There was an explosion at Korydallos after an anonymous phonecall to Eleftherotypia daily and Alter television station," the source told AFP.
A young woman is believed to have been injured by broken glass after the explosion, the police source said, adding that the device had been placed outside the wall of a disused section of the prison.
The device was hidden in a travel bag, Greek media reported.
Police cordoned off a busy avenue adjacent to the prison.
Bombings against state buildings and businesses, usually carried out by far-left extremist groups are common in Greece, but are usually designed to avoid causing injury.
The police recently arrested six alleged members of the country's leading extremist outfit Revolutionary Struggle whose attacks include a rocket strike against the American Embassy in Athens in 2007.

OAKLAND — There's nothing easy about picking out a Christmas tree at the Oakland Tree Farm. There are 10,000 choices, ranging from 2 to 12 feet tall in several species.
But Phil and Kim Adams love sharing the tree tradition. They're on the verge of their 20th year of opening up their farm and welcoming families who are looking for the perfect tree. They believe in their business logo: "Where Christmas memories begin."
"We just open up the farm and allow people to have a fun day on the farm," Phil Adams said.
"We feel the Christmas spirit from the families coming through looking for a tree," Kim Adams said.
On the Friday after Thanksgiving, the 45-acre farm on Green Valley Road will begin its holiday season with daily hours from 9 a.m. to dark through the Sunday before Christmas Day. Visitors can cruise 25 acres of trees and select from the popular Nordmann fir, grand fir and noble fir or from Douglas fir, blue spruce, concolor fir or Siberian spruce.
Phil Adams, 53, is a resource manager for Roseburg Forest Products and has been in the tree-growing business all of his professional career. The tree farm, he said, is "my hobby gone mad."
"He's good at growing trees. He's really good at it," said Kim Adams, 54, who also worked at RFP and recently retired to the farm full time.
The Adamses got into the Christmas tree growing business in 1985. They lived in Roseburg, but leased property near Kellogg and began planting trees. Phil Adams spent weekends planting and maintaining trees.
When Willard Lee, owner of the Oakland Tree Farm, decided to retire after about 30 years in the business, the Adamses purchased the operation in 1994 and moved from Roseburg to the farm.
In developing the farm, the couple had the help of their three children — Emily, Nick and Nathan — through their junior high and high school years.
At one point, the farm sold 5,000 trees wholesale another 1,200 retail to farm visitors.
Wholesale markets dwindled during the recession, so other than continuing with a couple longtime out-of-state customers, the farm has concentrated on the U-cut and retail business. They said their U-cut business has increased because there are fewer U-cut farms to visit in central Douglas County.
"Some of the other mom-and-pop U-cuts have gone away," Kim Adams said. "Last year, for the first time, people said, 'Are you going to be here next year?' They said this place has gone away and that place has gone away. People still want that family tradition of going out, deciding on a tree, cutting it down and taking it home."
Bev and Vic Long of Roseburg have been making the annual trip since the Adamses' first year at the farm.
"I'd recommend them to anybody," Bev Long said. "It's a great family atmosphere with the hot cider, the hot cocoa, the candy canes, walking down to find a tree and then shaking it and binding it up for the trip home. Overall it's a great experience, a different experience that you don't get in town. They make it special for you. They make everyone feel special.
"There's a great selection of trees, the quality, the price. It's well worth the price to make the visit," she added. "Getting the tree is part of the joy of Christmas."
Bob and Debbie Moreland of Oakland have also visited the farm for many years to find their tree.
"The Oakland Tree Farm is a shining star in our Christmas traditions," Debbie Moreland said. "The Adams family provides a warm welcome every year, treating us like family."
It's tough to choose a tree, she said. "Walking the beautiful farm, finding the perfect tree and sipping hot cocoa are enjoyable preludes to our annual tree fight."
The Adamses said the joy they see in families having a good time at the farm through December helps them get through the long days.
Kim Adams said she thinks that with the recent economic troubles, more people are staying home during the Christmas holiday season. She said there's been an increase in the number of flocked trees, which cost a little bit extra, but provide an added special touch.
"It's fun for me," Phil Adams said. "I'm looking forward to this year. The trees look as good as they've ever looked."

So it's surprising that the Kerosene Brothers -- the members' first non-Hayseed project -- is more predictable than their pickin' and grinnin' alter ego. Thumping drums, arena-ready electric guitar and sporadic organ muscle up the sound further than the acoustic, drumless sound of the past. Don Wayne Reno's crackling banjo and brother Dale Reno's jittery mandolin get a little lost in the mix, and singer/guitarist/fiddler John Wheeler's originals aren't as catchy as the classics Hayseed transformed into bluegrass pick-alongs.
Steroid-fueled tracks such as "Shady Grove," "Farther Along" and "Katy Daly" try too hard to pump up the volume, yielding mixed results. Yet the trio successfully navigates the distance separating fist-pumping, spandex rock with its overall-wearing, inbred cousin on the power chord-injected "In the Pines."
Unlike Hayseed's novel approach, the Brothers aren't doing anything Charlie Daniels and the Byrds didn't do 30 years ago. Combining the best aspects of their dual personas into one identity may work -- Kerosene Dixie, anyone?
Kerosene Brothers and Hayseed Dixie play Smith's Olde Bar Thurs., Sept. 25. $10.

Sweet Cred South Africa Marshmallow FootballersToday is the final game of the 2010 World Cup, which I thought warranted a special review of some actual South African candy. But instead I'm going to review these. South Africa Marshmallow Footballers are made by a company called Sweet Cred based in the United Kingdom, which sounds more like an casual clothing company than someone who makes confections. They specialize in gummies, sour ropes and marshmallows along with novelty shapes and holiday themes. The candies themselves are made in China. Inside the package is a tray with eight little pockets to hold the Footballers. Yes, eight. Not eleven. Maybe it's a metric conversion thing. You don't get a whole team. It's only 88 grams (which means each candy is just 11 grams) but a huge package - about the footprint of a sheet of A4 paper. The marshmallow figures are wearing the uniform colors of the South Africa national team. But that's about as far as the resemblance goes. They're mostly "peachy" looking guys, but a few are what I'd call "violet putty" color, certainly nothing like the real team. Did you look at the photo there? Yeah, none of them have green hair or huge, puffy noses. As decorated marshmallow candies, there's a lot more to them than just the ordinary sugar crusted Marshmallow Peep. These are frosted in several colors and then coated in a sugar crust. They're a basic strawberry flavor as far as I can tell. The marshmallow in the center is whatever color the footballer's flesh is, but it's all the same flavor after that. The hair, stripes, eyes, smiles and shoelaces are frosted after the sugar crust and are quite a bit more crunchy. The clothing is simply chewier than the marshmallow. The texture is soft and latexy, it has a nice foamy chew to it but it's very sweet, even when I took bites without the sugar crusting. Each piece feels like a lot of candy - it's about three inches high and only a little over a third of an ounce. Kids will probably enjoy them, especially those fascinated with soccer (football). The candy reminded me of so many other Chinese marshmallow candies I've had. It's passable stuff and in the case of Sweet Cred, they've gone the extra mile and are sourcing beef gelatin, so these are Halal. As with many of the novelty marshmallows I've had, I think they make better edible decorations than actual edible products. So for cupcakes or a cake or just a fun buffet in celebration of the World Cup, these would be great. They're probably also great for giving to kids with vuvuzelas, if only to make them stop for the minute that it takes for them to gobble these. These were sent to me by a wonderful reader (along with some other items I'll get to reviewing, like premium nougat). Related Candies

Au'some All Natural 3-DeesBack around Easter I got a hold of some stunning looking 3-Dees gummis from Au'some. Of course those are a seasonal item, so I wanted to try their year round products. What sounded even better was their 3-Dees Natural Fruit Snacks. They're large, three dimensionally molded gummis made with natural flavors and colors plus a little vitamin C. They come in four different animal shapes. On top of that Au'some donates 3% of their proceeds to the Wildlife Conservation Society. The back of the box has fun facts about each of the animals. Not the ordinary stuff like "elephants are big" instead I found them interesting for all ages, like "An elephant's ears can be used to cool the body on a hot day." and "Polar bears paddle with their front feet and steer with their hind feet when swimming." The box is pretty big, bigger than it probably needs to be, but formatted more like the fruit snack boxes in the breakfast cereal aisle than the candy packages. The ingredients are printed in large type on the back, not the micro print down the side of the box. The first ingredient is a mix of fruit juices that includes pear, strawberry, apple, blueberry and orange from concentrate, then sugar, water, rice syrup, gelatin, citric acid, pectin, buffered lactic acid, spirulina and safflower extracts, sodium citrate, ascorbic acid, natural flavors, purple carrot extract and turmeric (both for color). They're made in a nut free facility but it doesn't say anything about the gluten status. They're called fruit snacks, but from the ingredients (and having eaten them) they're gummis, just with a little bit nicer list of ingredients than the standard Trolli or Haribo available here. There are eight little packets that hold about a 1/2 ounce (.56 ounces) portion - which is 50 calories. This portion is two gummis. Sounds kind of stingy, but they're quite beefy. The flavors are Strawberry, Blueberry, Orange and Apple. They random colors and come in four shapes: Tiger, Polar Bear, Elephant and Chimpazee. The gummis are amazingly crafted. They're large, easy to handle and of course nicely detailed on all sides. Most stand up, like little pliable & edible statues. Orange is quite tangy and juicy. It's not quite zesty. The texture is soft and more like eating a very firm Jell-O than a German-style gummi. It's moist and squishy and has a kind of crumbly bite ... not soft enough to liquefy through the teeth though. Blueberry was red, rather like the strawberry one, but the taste is distinctive. The flavor is immediately a believable blueberry, a little like iced tea and a little like blueberry jam or pie. There's a boiled sugar note to it, which I enjoyed. It's a little tangy, but sweeter than the orange. There's a little bitter note in there, like tea or sometimes the skins of blueberries can be. The big difference between these and the Easter or Valentines ones, besides the ingredients is that they don't come in little molds. The naturals ones get a little squished up, so for some of them I had to kind of help the trunk of the elephant or the chimpanzee had bad posture. Apple was also an amber color, which makes sense because that's what apple juice looks like. The flavor was a combination of the tangy "green apple" from Jolly Rancher and the more sedate and syrupy flavor of apple juice. There was an almost-fizzy bite to it that I liked. It was one of those candies that didn't taste like an all natural compromise - completely mainstream in every way. Strawberry was also reddish like the blueberry. I know the chimp is orange ... so pretend. It's like a middle of the road strawberry jam. No seeds but a definite berry/floral vibe. It's not as intense as the others, but just as pleasant. The packaging didn't wow me, but I'm guessing since children are the target here. The fact that they're already in pouches in respectable portions is an attractive option for parents. I liked all of the shapes except for the Chimp. Of course I'd want a dolphin or sea lion or something, but maybe they'll do a marine mammal version of them. They're less like fruit snacks and more of a true gummi, so again, less of a compromise for parents who don't want artificial colors but still want their kids to feel indulged with a treat. They're not terribly sticky either ... though everyone knows a six year old has magical powers to make everything sticky. (Don't let small children play with them though, as they could be a choking hazard.) While these are natural and sold as fruit snacks, there's another version that's not all natural that are sold in move theater style boxes. Inside they were individually wrapped. (I didn't take a photo of them for review - but I found them at Walgreen's, so they're easier to come by.) Related Candies

Au'some Snerdles Super Mario Power Up BoxI'm sure some folks recognize it, it's a Super Mario Power Up Box. Inside this mystery block are eight power ups: Starman, Super Mushroom and the gold coin in the form of Snerdles. Next question: What are Snerdles? They're are a candy mosaic made by Au'some. Chewy fruit strips covered with tangy, crunchy candies. Think of them like a Nerds Rope, but flat with the Nerds forming an image. Au'some introduced Snerdles about 10 years ago and they appear on the market from time to time. The last time I heard of them was when they did a limited edition for Marvel back in 2003-2005 including Spiderman. They also made a generic version which was little squares or strips with images of the different flavors of fruit on them. The promo material I got last year said: Each candy fruit strip is decorated with tiny and tart crunchy candies for an amazing mouthful of texture. I was fascinated and really wanted to see them in person. Each Power Up Box holds eight individually wrapped Snerdles. Each weighs 11 grams (.39 ounces). They're not quite square - they're 2 inches high and 1.75 inches wide and about an eighth of an inch thick (without the toppings). They absolutely look like the box illustrates. The translucent fruit squares have designs made from little crunchies in different colors. They're not quite as perfect, but the effect is quite cute and all of mine were faithful and easy to identify. They come in three flavors to go with the designs (though they're not matched at all, any color can be any design). Blue Raspberry is Aqua, Strawberry is red and Apple is green. Apple Snerdles It doesn't smell like much out of the package. The fruit bar is a little sticky but very pliable. There's a little pull to it, but it's not at all a gummy. It's not quite fruit leather, it's not as pulpy as that. Goodness, this was realistically like an apple. The peel flavors and actual flavor of a granny smith were in there. The second ingredient is pear puree, so it really is fruity. Really authentic scent of strawberry jam. It's tangy and sweet with just a hint of grape in the background, but mostly a vague strawberry flavor. The candy pieces provide a crunch and flavor somewhere between a nonpareil and a Nerd. They're tangy and sweet, but not quite flavored. They're crunchy but have a slight starchy and chalky afterglow. I found I could just bite them and eat them that way, but like a fruit roll up or fruit leather I did play a bit. I rolled some up, with the crunches on the inside to keep them from falling off (they're little devils inside a keyboard). I also pulled some apart, so the mosaic was distorted, like the scattering of galaxies after the Big Bang. The crunchies just sit on the top, they're not pressed into the fruit square. Blue raspberry was certainly an odd color, an ocean aqua. It had an appealing scent, a mixture of floral berries and limes. This one was more tart than the others, though I can't say that any rise to the level of sour candy. The flavors were like a berry jam, though not subtle or nuanced. Just straight ahead real berry flavor. These really are an inventive candy. They're not quite a fruit leather and without the nutrition panel I can't say exactly whether I'd call these a snack or a candy. The fact that they're made with a substantial amount of fruit puree should make parents happy and the cute designs and inventive package should make any kid who gets these the envy of his friends. Made in a no peanut facility but no other notations of allergens on the list (such as tree nuts, eggs, milk, wheat/gluten). They're also Kosher. Full ingredients: Sugar, pear puree from concentrate, dextrose, corn syrup, tapioca starch, citric acid, apple fibre, sodium citrate, artificial flavors, pectin, maltodextrin, carnauba wax, colours. They are made in China, though it says "Made responsibly in China." I talked to some folks at the company, it's a family run business who supervise the manufacture of the candies themselves so it appears that there's more oversight than a company that outsources the production. They have more information on their website. The box is easily reusable, it's a 2.5" cube with a well fitted lid. I think you can peel off the top sticker and then throw change in there or game tokens or just keep refilling it with different candy. I don't know the true retail price, I expect a box like this will be under $2.00, but on the internet where licensed merchandise can go for more, they might be around $3. Aggrogate had a roundup of many Nintendo-themed candies, including Snerdles. Related Candies

Jumbo Gum Ball EggsIn my attempt to try everything this Easter I bought some pretty stupid candies. The Jumbo Gum Ball Eggs are pretty high up there. It wasn't so much that it's a stupid purchase (it was only 99 cents) but that it's a stupid product. But let me go backwards a bit. I have a definition for candy. It's kind of long and includes a list of criteria. One of them is that the product needs to be ready-to-eat. This means it doesn't need assembly (though might benefit from it) and doesn't require implements or tools, especially ones not provided. They are 2.25 inches tall and weigh about 1.75 ounces each. Yes, they're hollow but they're about a third of an inch thick. A gumball the size of a small chicken egg requires tools. I used a saw. I was able to stand on one of them without smashing it. After chewing the slice I'd cut off the top I did manage to smash and pull apart the larger piece by stomping on it and then prying it apart. It's tough stuff. The package says that a single serving is half an egg, but of course gives no clue about how to sever it yourself. The candy shell is thick and crunchy and the gum inside is rough and leathery, kind of like playing with thick rawhide. It smells slightly like Juicyfruit gum. The overall flavor is sweet with a light fruity and tangy note that disappears quickly as the sugar dissolves with chewing. The flavor is inconsistent and has cinnamon and bubble gum notes from time to time. It's an all sugar gum, which tend to lose their flavor quicker than the artificially sweetened ones. That's fine with me, I like to chew mine up, make a few bubbles then toss it out and put in a new piece. It does work as a bubble gum, but certainly not very well. They're fun to look at and would make nice decorations. For a child they'd be a frustrating mess. If you lick it the blue colored shell will run (and could stain clothing or upholstery). A parent or older child would need to help with creating manageable bites - so really I don't recommend this for anyone under the age of 14 and of course must caution folks when using tools like saws or a serrated knife to cut this open. Again I come back to saying that these are probably better than plastic stuff for decorating, though obviously they're not waterproof. They're made in China under the house brand of CVS. They also came in pink (photo of them on store shelf here). I admit that I'm concerned about the safety of the food colorings because of the origin of the product but I have no facts to support that.

CVS Marshmallow PopAt a CVS in Hollywood last week I spotted an exceptionally odd Marshmallow Pop among the Easter candy. It was blue and kind of the flounder version of some sort of plush animal - the face was all on one side of the profile. I thought it was a manufacturing mistake - I took a photo of it and made fun of it on Twitter. Then I was in another CVS, some 50 miles away over the weekend and found another display (pictured here), this time with a half a dozen of these same strange light blue marshmallow creatures. So of course I had to buy one. It was only a dollar. It's a large marshmallow pop. On top of a plastic stick is perched 2.46 ounces of powder blue, sugar sanded marshmallow with hand-decorated frosting features. The packaging is simple, a clear cellophane bag - the back has some imprinted nutrition facts and CVS house brand satisfaction guarantee. You can guess where this review is going. He's about 5 inches high, 4 inches wide and about 1 inch thick. But what is he? My first impulse is that he's a plush version of the Quiznos creatures called Spongmonkies (here's a video, but turn down your speakers before clicking). But this guy's teeth are too good, oh, and he's not furry. My second thought is that it's a dinosaur, especially because the dentition indicates a carnivorous creature - some sort of Tyrannosaurus rex perhaps. The anatomy isn't quite right. Look at how big his front legs are - well, there's also that part where he's crossed one arm across his chest and the other one is dangling like the elbow is dislocated. (Maybe he's fallen off his bike and is holding his boo-boo, crying and running home to his mama.) Then there's the legs ... is there a leg missing? Is that a tail or a foot that's also dislocated and facing backwards. Is this actually some sort of roadkill? Pre-flattened with broken and missing limbs? Anyway, let's move on to the actual performance of the product as an edible. It smells like some sort of raspberry - like an array of body washes and scented creams from Bath and Body Works. It also reminds me of a medicated pet shampoo I used to use (on my dog). The sugary grain on the outside is substantial, far greater than I would have expected (and messier). It's not like the fine stuff on Peeps, this is sparkly and gritty sugar. The flavor of the marshmallow is well rounded, much more like those strawberry gummi puffs than a marshmallow. The texture is latexy, chewy and bouncy. The raspberry is both floral and tangy, sweet but not cloying. The blue goes all the way through and there's a hint of an aftertaste to go with it. About a half hour later I was wondering if I'd been eating air freshener and forgot. The frosting bits were hard, crunchy and disconcerting - I wasn't sure if it was unglazed porcelain sometimes. A few bites in and I thought I'd eaten a little bit of the packaging. Little soft plastic bits (but it was wrapped in cellophane and this was nothing like that). The chunks, as far as I could tell, were unmixed gelatin globs. Flavorless and a little gummy, but probably perfectly edible. But not acceptable. The nutrition label says one serving is the entire pop. While that's only 240 calories, there's no way I could eat more than the three bites shown. I stopped because my curiosity was satisfied, not my craving for a sweet. It's not horrible, but it's really, really bad. While I enjoy novelties that might not be very palatable, they're usually fun to look at. This is just frightening. The marshmallows are made in China, and since this is a house brand at CVS, there's really no way of knowing where or how it was manufactured. I tried a similar product a few years ago from Walgreen's house brand, a Valentine's Pink Marshmallow Pig. Related Candies

Au'some Easter 3-Dees GummyI was so excited when I got this sample in the mail last week. Au'some is a rare company that's able to make both interesting novelty candies but also ones that actually taste good. Au'some has a line of 3-Dees Gummy candies, that are just what they sound like. They're three dimensional molded gummy candies and much larger than the standard gummi bear. I reviewed the Super Mario Brothers version a few years ago (along with their Wii controller candy dispenser). The seasonal versions of the gummis are in special shapes and flavor combinations for the holiday. The Easter 3-Dees Gummy version features two shapes (sitting rabbit and dancing chick) and three flavors (strawberry, orange and mixed berries). Each package contains six candies, one of each shape in one of each flavors. They're in a little tray that keeps each one separate and molded to their shape. The fun is when you pop them out of their molds. The packaging does an excellent job of keeping the candy protected and in the best possible condition for play. I can't say that it was that compelling when I first looked at it, it really didn't convey the stunning look of these out of the package. (Here's another version of the package that you might see in stores.) I admit that this review is actually more about the pictures, and I also admit that the photos that follow makes these little guys look far larger than they are (blame it on my new camera lens). Each weighs between a quarter of an ounce to a third of an ounce. The rabbits are exactly one inch high and one inch on the longest side of the base. As a 3D candy they actually stand up, like a little injection-molded plastic toy. When they say that they're three dimensional, they're not kidding. The rabbits, if you can't tell so far, were my favorite. The middle seam was nearly undetectable. The nicely formed face even had little buck teeth that I could see when looking carefully. The little tucked back ears are simply charming. The dancing chick isn't quite as compelling for me, it was harder to tell what was going on, but the figure reminded me of that penguin in Happy Feet. This little chick is a bit rolly-polly and kicking up one of his feet. The flavors are right up my alley. In this case that means that red is strawberry instead of cherry. It's nicely tangy and has a rounded floral berry fragrance. It tastes exactly like strawberry Jell-O. The texture for these gummis is what I'd call short. Some gummies are stringy - if you pulled on the gummi it'd stretch quite a bit before it pulled apart. These gummis are more like actual gelatin desserts. Biting into them they pull apart into little nuggets. Pull them and they break apart with clean surfaces. Though they're not a chewy gummi they are intensely flavored and exceptionally smooth. The blue-green color is Mixed Berries and in this case it actually tastes like berries. There's a good jammy raspberry flavor. It's tart, floral and not too much like generic fruit punch. In the case of this one there was a slight note of the blue food coloring (a little metallic) but that didn't detract from it. The orange flavor is disappointing, only because Haribo has raised the bar so high. It's sour in the right way, but the overall flavor is that of orange-ade. There are no zest notes that kind of carry it over into the whole orange flavor. Still, the flavor and texture worked well together. The hesitation on this product is that it's made in China. The package says "made responsibly in China and I do believe that there are plenty of ethical and conscientious food makers in China - I just don't know how to tell who is who. The size of these gummis still means they should not be given to very small children - but you probably already know that. I took a gajillion photos of them: Related Candies

Broadway Black Licorice RollsThe old Danish Rolls or Delfa Rolls are back, though now with the name Broadway Rolls. I finally found the black licorice version being sampled at the Winter Fancy Food Show at the Gerrit Verburg (a licorice importer) booth. These are made in China but bear a striking similarity to the original Danish Rolls. The construction of the candy is that it's four small spools of flat licorice strands served up as one long bar in a single wrapper. The Strawberry Broadway Roll I tried before was interesting, but not so much that I would long for it if I couldn't get it again. The black licorice is glossy, smooth and quite dark. They're soft and as long as I unrolled them, were easy to bite. (Biting a whole roll was tough and kind of silly.) Each spool is about 3/4 of an inch tall and one inch wide. Each strip, unrolled, is about one foot (12") long - though that varied a little bit. It didn't smell like much at first, just a bit spicy and like anise. After unrolling and biting one though, it was quite complex and good. The main ingredients are wheat flour, sugar and molasses with real licorice extract and artificial flavors. I've noticed that I prefer licorice made with molasses, as I like the mineral and earthy flavors and how they combine with the sweet and spicy licorice. In this case the licorice tasted more like a really good ginger spice cake than a plain black licorice. Notes of cloves, ginger and nutmeg were quite apparent. For a single serve black licorice, it's great. It's hard to find really intensely flavored licorice that's not overly sticky. This had a good bite that became a bit crumbly and short after chewing, so it didn't stick to my teeth at all. The aftertaste was a little bitter, but I blame that on the artificial food colors (which is too bad as well). There are some shortcomings to it, but overall I can see myself buying this again, especially since it's a single serve, fun to play with and interestingly flavored roll. Related Candies

Galerie Decorated Chocolate ShoeA weekend trip to the 99.99 Cent Only Store meant a lot of decisions. There's plenty there that I'm curious to try, and often do, but most of the time it's my fascination with what may be very bad that gets me to buy something, not the hope that it's good. (Examples: Beechies Force Chew Candies, Choco-Fudge Mallow Sundae, Skittles Fresh Mint and a roll of LifeSavers that were probably 10 years old. When I found a little display in the Valentine's aisle though with some edible body paints and these Decorated Chocolate Shoes I thought that they were actually a good score. The packaging is a little plain, but part of me suspected that these were part of a larger gift package (maybe a basket or box) that were broken up into separate items that could be sold off for a dollar ... and most likely they were from Christmas and still fresh. The expiry date on the shoe was April 2010. The package is two components: an outer clear plastic box with the label affixed to it with the stretchy silver bow and an inner two part clear plastic "mold" for the shoe. This did a great job of both displaying the candy and protecting it. It was fully taped all around the seam between the two parts, so very well sealed. There were two things that gave me pause about the purchase. First, it's made in China. The company that distributes them is called Galerie and is based in Hebron, Kentucky. (They also make gourmet candy corn.) My confidence level in products containing milk from China is admittedly low since the melamine scandal. Second, the ingredients don't look good. Technically this should not be labeled chocolate, as the milk chocolate contains whey as an ingredient, considered a "filler" by US FDA standards. But I was attracted by the price and size and figured some readers might be as well. The shoe itself is about four inches long with a 1.75" heel. At 2.7 ounces it's pretty hefty, so besides that well in the shoe for a foot, it's solid chocolate. The molding is nice, the chocolate has a good sheen to it and the decorations, though modest at just four pink colored "white chocolate" hearts on each side are precisely painted. (I looked around and didn't see any other varieties in the store, though I suspect that other versions exist.) The chocolate smells a bit woodsy, sweet and milky. It's pretty tough to bite, kind of like eating an Easter rabbit. The texture though is rather smooth. I was pleased with the fact that it wasn't overly sweet (adding whey actually makes this possible - it helps maintain the texture without adding expensive cocoa butter or cocoa but not sweetness of sugar - in very small amounts it doesn't influence the flavor). As a molded novelty item for this price, I'd say it's excellent. My interest in milk chocolate in the shape of a high-heeled shoe with hearts on it is extremely low, so I can't say that this is a great gift for me. If you're looking for a party favor or a little gift where the visual impact is more important than the actual chocolate, this is perfect. Out of the package it can be used for decoration, and as I showed above for scale, filled with M&Ms or Hershey's Kisses or even a few small chocolate covered strawberries it's great. Related Candies

Dear Readers,
Can you believe I'm about to write a sponsored post for Target Australia about fashion? Neither can I. Stifle your giggles and let's get on with it shall we? Speaking of disbelief, last week had its share of incredulous moments.
On Monday I was invited to be on the radio again – this time live from the Ekka! When I told Mum, the first thing she said was "You know they'll be able to see you right?" I hung up and made a hair appointment.
I spent Tuesday getting 'waisted' at Target in search of a radio-ready outfit. I tried all manner of Gok endorsed styles and finally settled for black and white blouse from Look 5 and new jeans. (Buying new jeans is a far superior option to facing the cruel reality that my current jeans restrict blood flow to some of my favourite internal organs.)
I learned several things during the process:
- I cannot hold my breath as long as I thought I could.
- I suck at change room selfies. (I must ask teenage friends for tips.)
- Would you believe Gok thinks I'm gorgeous? I think he's lovely too, but I do think he should dial down the number of small dog pictures he posts on instagram.
On Wednesday I learned that my pickles won first prize at the Ekka. Mum admitted to being super jealous because her cake didn't place. This pleased me greatly.
The traveling irrigator broke on Sunday - the morning of my interview. Our late departure necessitated a very rushed trip to the Ekka. My plans of thrilling the Little Sister with the barnyard nursery were thwarted by her reluctance to engage with anything on four legs and there was no time to convince her otherwise. I did my interview with Fresh on Sundays, while the Big Sister danced outside the booth. Despite their best efforts, neither Mum nor Dean managed to get a clear shot of me with Michelle and Dominque. The Little Sister slept through the entire thing. I'm giving serious though to auditioning a new support crew.
We visited the Fine Arts pavilion to check out my prize-winning pickles and Mum's fruitcake. My pickles were wearing pretty blue bonnets. Mum's cake was tucked right up the back of the display case. She's still jealous and this continues to bring me great joy.
There's not a huge monetary component to a first prize win in the Novice pickle category at the Ekka. That said, winning a blue ribbon is priceless; especially when it comes with the added bonus of sticking it to my Mother*.
To celebrate my Ekka win I'm giving away another $50 Target voucher. To be in the running to win leave a comment below and tell me about a win of your own. It needn't be a Mater Prize home or scoring $250,000 on a scratchie – I'm looking for one of those sweet little victories. So tell me…
what's the best thing you ever won?
Congratulations to Wendy, her year's supply of green tomato sauce is the win that keeps on winning!
*Mum's really actually happy for me. Deep deep, deep deep down.

Keeping up with new startups is almost impossible. While we sleep tonight, there are thousands of caffeine-infused individuals hammering away on keyboards creating the next great thing. With a polished slide deck, a few thousand loyal alpha users, and a code repository secret sauce, anyone can take his or her idea from stealth mode to global success overnight. And while some of the companies mentioned in this article will go on to success, others will fall by the wayside, burning through cash and users similar to a summer camp bonfire. The interesting threads to follow through these few successes and myriad failures are the trends that add value to the end user. And the current crop of products and services being launched offers a great list of features to keep our eyes on.

I'm butting in here , not being one of those who has done it all, but.....
The occasions when you will anchor in 80+' are going to be rare.
Most times I would have thought 150' of chain would be ample with the rope for when you need to get all the chain on the bottom. Even 150' is not light weight living up front. What's the Ericsons anchor locker layout ?
If you then find the occasion to need an extra 100' of chain why not keep that separate from the other, stowed way down low and only brought out when needed. Yes it's a bore when you have to do it but keeping the weight down in the ends, is important.
I've never heard of anyone using chain (other than the first few metres) for a stern anchor. Maybe I'm wrong but I cannot see the need for it.
We currently carry 120' of chain and have found that sufficient for all our needs but have never anchored in deeper that 60'. Then I put all 120' on the bottom plus rope. We are 34' steel. displacement 5.4t (12,000 lbs).
