Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallows + Vanilla, Cinnamon Bun, Strawberry, Chocolate Royale, Gingerbread
The best known American marshmallows are Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallows which are big, airy cylinders of fluffed sugar and gelatin. Lately there's been a movement in the United States for more artisan marshmallows, flavored and in different shapes and often with less chalky corn starch on the outside. In other countries marshmallows are usually flavored (France and Japan have wonderful marshmallow offerings that are rather grown up, while the United Kingdom and Netherlands still have a large selection geared towards kids).
Kraft's Jet-Puffed brand has a large selection lately that go beyond the unflavored white version. I picked up all that I could find over the past month for comparison and review.
I'm often conflicted about whether Marshmallows are candy. Part of the confusion might be the fact that the most popular marshmallow brands in the United States are not sold in the candy and snack aisle but in the baking section. They're used to make Rice Krispie Treats and S'mores, but I rarely see people just eating them.
The marshmallows are simple and cheap. I picked up most of the bags in this review for only a dollar - this bag was 10 ounces and nearly the size of an airplane pillow ... a lot of candy for a buck.
Jet-Puffed are large, they're about an inch and a third tall and about an inch in diameter. Each is about 7.5 grams (about a quarter of an ounce). Marshmallows are pretty low in calories, as there's no fat in them - they're just sugar with a little protein (gelatin) to keep them fluffy. Only 100 calories per serving of 4 (one ounce).
They're chalky on the outside, coated with a light powdering of corn starch to keep them from sticking. They're puffed, pliable but still firm. They're a little latexy, like memory foam - squish it and it bounces back eventually.
The flavor isn't quite vanilla and not a strong as pure sugar. They're, well, marshmallows. Not much to write home about and not a candy I'd eat on its own. They toast up very well, with more of the burnt sugar flavors. The large size means that the center of mine usually cool while the outside is crunchy and the mantle is molten.
They're very soft and moist when fresh, but I don't mind a slightly stale marshmallow either. They get a little stiff and chewy on the outside, providing a little more textural interest.
What started this whole marshmallow episode was this bag of Jet-Puffed SnowmanMallows I spotted at Target. They're French Vanilla flavored, which sounded good, like a custardy version of the traditional American marshmallow.
They're called mini-marshmallows on the bag, but they're actually about the size of two of the standard mini-marshmallows.
Is there a difference between the standard and the French Vanilla? Well, not really. There's some yellow food coloring and a smidge less salt. So they did taste sweeter.
I prefer the format of the little one inch tall and half inch wide Man. He toasted up well, the smaller size meant that the center became molten as the outside crisped. Of course it was ridiculously easy to catch him on fire.
The Kraft Jet-Puffed StrawberryMallows were the only ones that I bought at the 99 Cent Only Store, which may mean that they were for an earlier season. (They expire at the end of the year.)
They're pink and remind me of the French guimauve, which often come in long ropes. The color is soft and pleasant. The scent is like Frankenberry Cereal. The flavor is a mild, floral and artificial strawberry. It was like a very watered down Strawberry Quik.
I toasted it hoping it would taste like cotton candy, but it just tasted like hot Strawberry Quik. Like many of the candies that I eat with Red #40 food coloring, I taste a weird, metallic bitterness towards the end and for a few minutes after.
The Kraft Jet-Puffed Gingerbread Mallows made all of this worth it. They were the variety that inspired me to buy them all and review them.
This was the first variety that struck me as seasonal, obviously, but also the first one that I felt like achieved its goals of being an actual good candy. I recognize that not everyone likes gingerbread, so a gingerbread flavored marshmallow will not be as popular as strawberry or vanilla.
They're shaped like little men. The get squeeze and deformed in the bag, so their little arms point in different directions. They're about an inch and a quarter tall and about a half an inch thick and an inch from fingertip to fingertip.
They smell rich and spicy. And they taste that way too. If you're fond of the gingerbread spices: ginger, cinnamon, clove and pepper, you will probably dig these. The overriding flavor is actually ginger but there's a little cinnamon and pepper warmth to them. It doesn't taste artificial at all - just like a spicy marshmallow. It's absolutely like eating a foamy cookie.
I tried toasting them and liked the result, but prefer the soft and foamy texture of them at room temperature.
I figured if Gingerbread was good, Kraft Jet-Puffed Cinnamon Bun would rate highly as well. After all, it wasn't just a pink marshmallow with a little cinnamon oil like the StrawberryMallow.
This bag was slightly smaller, for some reason, with only 8 ounces in it. The mallows were also smaller, which was fine with me as I like to pop a whole one in my mouth. (The back of the package actually has a warning that says to eat only one at a time and supervise children plus cut them up for smaller children.)
They're cute as foamy sugar buttons. They smell good, not that different from the Gingerbread, but definitely on the sugar and cinnamon side of things.
The flavor is like cinnamon the spice, not the hard candy. The corn starch coating kind of pushes that along with the slight chalky texture before it dissolves away. It doesn't taste overtly artificial, but it's also not as fun and nuanced as the Gingerbread. I expect they'd go great in hot chocolate. Toasted they were quite nice, but tasted much more sweet when hot.
The Kraft Jet-Puffed Chocolate Royale was a problematic flavor. First, it's a chocolate flavored marshmallow. There is no actual cocoa, let alone chocolate in there. The scent is ghastly. It was like wet cardboard. It was so bad that after I took a picture of the package and opened them, I had to sequester them.
The problem is that I don't remember where I put them (I admit the Candy Blog Studios are pretty messy right now) but I can still smell them even though I stuffed them inside another bag first.
Overall, I'm inclined towards the generic American marshmallow and enjoyed the different flavors. I prefer the corn starch coating to the sugar sanding of Peeps. They're a great candy to share and versatile to keep on hand as an ingredient. If you're watching your calories, they're very low stress - I can't eat that many because their airy texture makes me feel full very quickly. But they're also all sugar and the texture can be bland (but that's why folks invented Rice Krispie Treats, Rocky Road and S'mores).

Dove Promises White Chocolate
Mars has finally hopped into the white chocolate game with both feet. Their new Dove White Chocolate Silky Smooth Promises stand alone as the only mass-market true white chocolate in bite size pieces.
I don't know if this is a regular item or a seasonal offering from Dove. They've already proven that they can make a good white chocolate, which has been their base for their rich Peppermint Bark offerings for the third year in a row.
The package is a stylish amber and gold design with the Dove logo featuring most prominently. The see through part reveals the pieces are foil wrapped in two different shades of gold with white snowflakes.
Hershey's has their White Chocolate Meltaway Bliss, but that's a filled candy, with some sort of palm oil & cream inside. The Dove White Chocolate is truly a white chocolate product, in that it contains only cocoa butter and dairy as its fat base without any other vegetable fats.
Still, it's pricey stuff. The bar was just shy of 8 ounces while the true chocolate varieties at the same price are over 9.5 ounces.
The flavor is oddly buttery, as in milky with that sort of churned flavor to it. However, there's more of an aged dairy taste than a fresh milk flavor. There's a light hint of salt (45 mg per 5 pieces).
The texture is firm but has a smooth melt, not nearly as silky as the regular Dove Promises but still decadent. It's sweet, and that sugary quality does give it a but of a thick and sticky quality as it dissolves. Sometimes though it tasted a little on the rancid or perhaps slightly stale side of things. This could be because it picked up some flavors from other items (such as some chocolate flavored marshmallows), but considering the fact that they're tightly foil wrapped and then in a heavy plastic bag, they shouldn't be doing that.
White chocolate is definitely a tough item to do well. These are good, and true white chocolate is hard to find, especially in the grocery or drug store these days. The ingredients are pretty good: sugar, cocoa butter, skim milk, milk fat, soy lecithin, salt, natural flavor and PGPR. They're made in a facility that processes peanuts and tree nuts. There's no mention of gluten. They're Kosher.
It's a good quality product for the price, but it's not going to be my go-to white chocolate. I'll still opt for Green & Black's super-vanilla infused White Chocolate which is also fair trade. But if I needed something festive and foil wrapped, I'd grab a bag of these.

RM Palmer Giant 1/4 Lb. Peanut Butter Cup
R.M. Palmer makes charming and cheap candy for the holidays. Their Christmas candies are never as appealing as their Easter goods but I was intrigued by their new RM Palmer Giant 1/4 Peanut Butter Cup.
Giant candy is pretty common as a holiday gift, especially as a stocking stuffer or Secret Santa item. This one isn't quite as amazing as the Snickers Slice n' Share or 1 Lb Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, but it's certainly affordable at only $1.00.
The package is simple. There were two designs, the red wrapper I picked out features an elf on a snowboard. There's a green version that had a Santa on it.
The packaging is spare, it's just a plastic sleeve, there's no cardboard tray or even a fluted cup. However, this was more than sufficient, my cup came out the wrapper looking nearly flawless.
Like nearly all R.M. Palmer candies, this is a very nicely made product. The mold is well designed and attractive. The large cup has some attractive design details, including a little inset bevel and texture on the bottom of cup. The fluting is crisp and the mockolate coating is shiny.
The cup is three and a half inches in diameter and just a smidge over a half an inch thick. The package says that it's four servings, which would be one ounce each. It'd be pretty easy to divide this up, it cuts easily with even a butter knife. However, one ounce is a rather small portion for candy. The typical is about 1.5 (which is what a pair of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are).
The first ingredient on the list is sugar, which I fully expected. The second is partially hydrogenated vegetable oil made from palm kernel and/or palm oil. It's pretty widely known now that partially hydrogenated oils contain trans fats. And trans fats need to be reported on the nutrition facts panel. However, if it's less than a half a gram of trans fat, it can be listed as zero. So it's entirely possible that a "truer serving size" of 1.5 ounces would have a measurable amount of trans fat. Or it could be that RM Palmer figured that people could quarter things easily but probably couldn't cut them into 3/8 as easily. (Well, you'd just cut it into 8 pieces and take a serving of three of those, but I don't think they'd be structurally sound.)
The cup smells good, like sweet peanut butter. The bite is soft and the peanut butter is smooth. It's an odd cup, I was fully willing to hate it based on the ingredients. However, the peanut butter center is really good. It's soft but not greasy, smooth but not quite silky. There's a slight coolness to both the mockolate and the peanut butter on the tongue. The flavor of the peanut butter center is sweet, not quite as salty or crumbly/dry as a Reese's, it's more like eating peanut butter cookie dough.
For kids or the not-too-picky, it's a fun little treat. It's far from gourmet, but it fits in as affordable and over-the-top little gift.

Trader Joe's Classic Holiday Candy Mix
Trader Joe's often does classic looking candies but with a "too hip for the room twist" on the flavors.
The Trader Joe's Classic Holiday Candy Mix qualifies as classic solely in its looks. They're cute little pillows and waffle pieces of hard candy but come in a curious array of flavors that are as much tropical as they are wintery. Pomegranate, Cherry Cream, Passion Fruit, Cranberry Orange and Lemon Ginger. The flavors are all natural and the colors are created with vegetable and fruit extracts.
The packaging is simple, the box is a little smaller than a box of raisins or prunes. Inside is a half pound of hard candy in a simple cellophane pouch.
The pieces have that classic Holiday Mix look to them. Most are the standard pillow style of hard candy. The hard candy is briefly pulled (either by hand on a hook or by machine) to add air and a silky shine to it. That is then wrapped around a slightly aerated but not as attractive center. The the log is then rolled down into a rope which is then put into a cutter that gently squeezes the candy as it cuts it. Other pieces are rolled through a mold that give the waffle weave before they're cut.
Cherry Cream is deep red with amber stripes. The cream flavor is a little artificial, like a butter flavor instead of a real creamy note. Kind of like a cream soda. The cherry flavor is good, like a black cherry but with a sort of burnt berry pie note to it. Sometimes I thought that it tasted like Dr. Pepper.
Cranberry Orange (orange and dark red) was easy to spot, as the pieces were mostly half orange and half red. The orange flavor was front and center, the cranberry was just a tartness in the background with a little strawberry floral note.
Pomegranate (pink, white & deep red striped pillow) It's enchanting to look at an a nicely rounded pomegranate flavor with a lot of raspberry notes.
Passion Fruit (peach and yellow waffle) is a lot like fruit punch. It was tart and has a light berry note to it along with sort of syrupy melon flavor and some deep honey perfumes.
Lemon Ginger (yellow and white) were the easiest to figure out. This one tasted a little sparkly. Most of the pieces were the flat waffle but there were a few short straw ones too. The lemon is quite zesty and the woodsy ginger has a very slight warmth to it.
The candies are made in Mexico. I believe this is the same facility that also makes the Trader Joe's Old Fashioned Sweet Sticks and the Life Savers all natural knock-off Sweet Story (and probably also the Organic Lollipops which are also sold as Yummy Earth). They're made with glucose syrup which is from wheat, so they may not be suitable for gluten-free folks. There's no other statement about allergens such as nuts or dairy products. They're made with cane sugar but no other animal products so it's up to you if you think they're vegan. Kosher.
It's a good price for all natural hard candy. It's not extraordinary candy and probably only suitable for someone who actually like hard candy. The charming homespun quality does present a beautiful tableau in a dish and would probably be great as a decorative element on a Gingerbread House.

Trader Joe's Eggnog Almonds
Back around Halloween when Mars introduced their Candy Corn flavored White Chocolate M&Ms, I mused what it would be like if they made Egg Nog M&Ms.
Well, Trader Joe's has gone over the top with their iteration of white chocolate with nutmeg with their Trader Joe's Eggnog Flavored Almonds covered with Creamy White Chocolate.
They're sold in a very simple plastic tub that holds 11 ounces and sells for $3.99 ... about the same price as Almond M&Ms ... but they're all natural (but have no candy shell, unless you count confectioners glaze as a shell).
Trader Joe's starts with premium almonds. I've noticed that a lot of other almond candies (Almond M&Ms) use the smaller almonds about the size of peanuts, but these are big, fresh nonpareil almonds at the center. The coating is real white chocolate with oodles of nutmeg. The combination is convincingly like egg nog. It's sweet but tempered with strong vanilla and earthy/balmy nutmeg. The almonds are crisp and keep the whole thing from being too sweet (like actual egg nog tends to be). The white chocolate has an excellent melt, not quite silky but quite creamy without being sticky.
I love them, but I fully understand that they're not for everyone. If you don't love nutmeg, you're not going to like these. However, if you do, the combination with the almonds is stellar. I can only hope they'll have these year round, but I know that they'll disappear in a few weeks.
It's all natural and there's not even any food coloring in there. There is dairy, soy and almonds in the ingredients plus it's made on shared equipment with wheat, tree nuts and peanuts.

Trader Joe's A Very Merry Mingle
Trader Joe's a very Merry Mingle is new for 2011 at Trader Joe's for the winter Holidays.
I was pleased to see that Trader Joe's managed to give this candy a name, as so many of their other holiday treats end up with nothing more than a functional description of ingredients or assembly.
The Merry Mingle is described as Cranberries, pecans and caramel don their dark chocolate apparel, creating a heaping helping of holiday candy. The box is large, holding 11 ounces, so it's a good portion, and should be for the price.
The packaging is interesting, the box is sturdy and the graphics are clear and attractive. The inside is a little less posh: a plastic tray insert with four sections filled with four to five pieces each. While I may not have found the inside very nice to serve from, it did protect the pieces well, as they were all in very good condition when removed from the box. The chocolate was glossy and the pecans and cranberries were intact.
The pieces varied rather widely in size. Some were as small as one and a half inches while others were a full two and a half inches in diameter. The construction is interesting. The nuts and cranberries are held together with a little bit of caramel then they're partially dipped in dark chocolate. There are a few zags and dribbles of chocolate on top of the pieces as well.
The base is mostly caramel, and it does a good job of keeping everything together. The caramel flavors (salt, burnt sugar) are lost in the toasty maple flavors of the pecans and the tart cranberries. The textures are great though, the caramel is smooth and chewy without being sticky or flowing. The chocolate, as the bottom, hits the tongue first, so it makes a bold impression on me as being deep and dark. There are coffee notes and probably some others but they're lost in the flavor riot of the turtle.
Everything tasted fresh, each element was distinct (though the caramel a little lost). It also felt lighter then a traditional fully enrobed turtle (which actually do clock in at about 20 more calories per ounce). I get the impression from readers that they don't look so good in the photos, but I thought they were great. If you're a fan of Trader Joe's trail mix but would like it dressed up for company, this might do the trick.
It's Kosher but with so many ingredients, there are a lot of potential allergens: soy, milk, pecans plus traces of wheat, eggs, peanuts and other tree nuts.

Trader Joe's Minty Melts
Trader Joe's always has a wide range of holiday candies with a balance of new and novel with classics.
Their new Trader Joe's Minty Melts sound a bit on the classic side. Dark chocolate squares with a festive minty stripe.
The box holds 7.5 ounces and was $4.99. They're Kosher and gluten free. There is no ethical statement about the origin of the chocolate.
The box is long (11.5 inches) but opens easily to serve. The inner box bottom is actually fully printed so you can pull it out and put it on the table or buffet if you don't want to put them on a plate. The pieces are stacked, two high and two wide.
I was pleased with the ingredients, it's real dark chocolate at the semi-sweet level of 56% cacao. The mint stripe is made of real white chocolate as well, with cocoa butter and real peppermint oil. There's a touch of coconut oil in there, but it's very low on the list, falling into the less than 2% area.
They're almost perfect cubes, about 3/4 of an inch all around, though just a little shy on the height. The stripes aren't equal. The base layer is thicker than the top and mint white chocolate middle. The appearance is a little rustic. They're a bit scuffed on the edges and the sides aren't always straight/square/plumb.
The dark chocolate is rich and has a good cocoa flavor. There are little gritty moments every once in a while. The white chocolate center is a little dry and chalky feeling, just not quite a fully chocolate smoothness that I was hoping for. The flavor is very well balanced, milky sweet but not throat searing, with an appropriate touch of peppermint that doesn't overwhelm the dark chocolate.
The texture doesn't quite hit it for me, but perhaps that's because I was hoping for something a little creamier. However, I like the fact that it's a Peppermint Bark without the crushed peppermint candies. While that's a nice candy, too, I wanted to taste the smooth textures together. The name Minty Melts led me to believe that these were meltaways, but they're not, they're a solid chocolate product. Nothing wrong with that ...
These are sure to go over well in social settings, just the right size portion for guests or for snacking.

Lindt Holiday Almonds
I mentioned in an earlier Candy Tease that Lindt has some new holiday items. In addition to their new hollow chocolate figures of Teddy Bears, Snow Men and Santa they also have some holiday new Lindor Tuffles in Holiday Spice plus their usual holiday offering of Peppermint.
I also spotted this coppery bag of Lindt Holiday Spice Almonds.
It's a tiny bag. It's a cute bag, but it really is tin, especially when you consider that 1/3 of the height is just empty "flair." But still, it's dense. Jam packed with 3.5 ounces of roasted almonds in milk chocolate with holiday spices. Ah, the vague holiday spices. They're so vague that on the ingredients list, they're not even specified as holiday. They're just spices.
The almonds vary widely in size, some as small as a Peanut M&M and some appear as large as a peach pit.
The candies are a little more complex that what was described. The almond at the center is lightly toasted. Then there is a little sugar shell on top of it. That is then dipped in milk chocolate and finally finished with a dusting of powdered sugar.
They smell a bit like amaretto and custard. The sugar on the outside is a little dusty, a little messy. The milk chocolate coating is smooth but quite sweet and with a strong dairy note. The spice flavor there is mostly the amaretto, but perhaps a little touch of cinnamon. The sugar shell on the inside is lightly crunchy but not thick at all. The almonds at the center were fresh and overall good quality. They work well either chewed for the combination of textures and flavors or slowly melted and dissolved through the layers.
I don't usually care for amaretto, and in this case it wasn't very strong. It's a very sweet combination but also rather different from so many other chocolates and holiday items, I found it refreshing. I would have preferred a better, more specific description on the package though. Amaretto is not a spice and I don't expect my real almonds to also be flavored with it unless we're in the territory of marzipan.
While I may make fun of the packaging, I did like how efficient it was. There are two layers, an inner waxed paper and then the decorative metallic mylar. It had a sturdy, flat bottom and didn't take up an excessive amount of space.
They're made with wheat, dairy, almonds and soy plus they're processed on shared equipment with peanuts and other tree nuts. Their cocoa is sourced responsibly and sustainably though not certified fair trade but also sourced from a wide range of locations (many not associated with slavery or brutal unrest). Read their statements here which specifically state that no supplier, anywhere in their chain can use forced labor.

Albee Double Bill Premieres at Cottesloe
Editorial Staff • West End • 23 Nov 2000
Both plays will star Sheila Gish and Bill Paterson and will be directed by Anthony Page.
In Marriage Play, Albee returns to ground he furrowed so successfully in his most famous play, the 1962 classic Who s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, last seen in the West End in the Almeida production starring Diana Rigg. Like the acerbic George and Martha in Virginia Woolf, Marriage Play s Jack and Gillian have been married for 30 years, despite various affairs. The second play, Finding the Sun, also explores the theme of sham marriages.
Sheila Gish was recently seen in the West End in the revival of Tennessee Williams Suddenly Last Summer and won a 1996 Olivier Award for Best Supporting Performance in a Musical for Company. Her television credits include Pie in the Sky, Jonathan Creek and Highlander.
Anthony Page directed the revival of Albee s Pultizer Prize-winning drama A Delicate Balance, starring Eileen Atkins and Maggie Smith at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, three years ago. His other recent credits have included Hanif Kureish s Sleep with Me, also at the Cottesloe, and Enigmatic Variations, starring Donald Sutherland at the Savoy earlier this year.
Edward Albee s other works include Three Tall Women, Seascape and The Play About the Baby and Counting the Ways.

College basketball: Rare triple-double lifts Kansas over San Jose State
Published November 26, 2012 10:37 pm
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Lawrence, Kan. • Jeff Withey had 16 points, 12 rebounds and a school-record 12 blocks for only the second official triple-double in Kansas history, and the 10th-ranked Jayhawks held off a furious comeback by San Jose State for a 70-57 victory Monday night.
Withey scored 10 points during a 20-2 run early in the second half, and achieved the Jayhawks' first triple-double since Cole Aldrich in an NCAA tournament game against Dayton in 2010.
Kansas (5-1) used its big run to take a 60-36 lead with just over 11 minutes remaining, but the Spartans (2-3) answered with an 18-2 run. to climb back in the game.

Sounding the chest with a cold stethoscope is probably one of the most commonly used diagnostics in the medical room after peering down the back of the throat while the patient says, "Aaaah". But, research published in the inaugural issue of the International Journal of Medical Engineering and Informatics looks set to add an information-age approach to diagnosing heart problems. The technique could circumvent the problem of the failing stethoscope skills of medical graduates and reduce errors of judgment
Listening closely to the sound of the beating heart can reveal a lot about its health. Healthcare workers can identify murmurs, palpitations, and other anomalies quickly and then carry out in-depth tests as appropriate. Now, Samit Ari and Goutam Saha of the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur have developed an analytical method that can automatically classify a much wider range of heart sounds than is possible even by the most skilled stethoscope-wielding physician.
Their approach is based on a mathematical analysis of the sound waves produced by the beating heart known as Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). This method breaks down the sounds of each heart cycle into its component parts. This allows them to isolate the sound of interest from background noise, such as the movements of the patient, internal body gurgles, and ambient sounds.
The analysis thus produces a signal based on twenty five different sound qualities and variables, which can then be fed into a computer-based classification system. The classification uses an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and a Grow and Learn (GAL) network. These are trained with standardized sounds associated with a specific diagnosis.
The team then tested the trained networks using more than 100 different recordings of normal heart sounds, sounds from hearts with a variety of valve problems, and different background noises. They found that the EMD system performs more effe

PEWAUKEE A trio of women chatting at the reception before the Waukesha County GOP Lincoln Day Dinner on Saturday night have some ideas about why President Obama is winning a big advantage among female voters.
The cult of celebrity, offers Jacqueline Johannson, a chef from Nashotah.
Democrats effectively manufactured that issue about access to contraceptives, scoffs Ardis Cerny, a retiree from Pewaukee.
Its social issues, says Kathryn Jorsch, who owns a small business in Delafield. They think hes going to provide a safety net.
Whatever the reason, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll of Wisconsin and 11 other battleground states shows this: Republicans have a women problem.
The survey finds a near-tie between Obama and Republican front-runner Mitt Romney among male voters but an Obama rout among women. While Democratic candidates have gotten more support from women than men in every presidential election since 1980, the current difference in support is unusually large and significantly bigger than it was in January and February.
A 12-point gender gap in USA TODAYs Swing States poll in January and February has widened to 19 points as a hard-fought Republican primary campaign has ground on and a debate over contraception coverage flared.
Romney strategists insist the outsized gap wont last once the GOP primary battle ends.
We feel confident these numbers will close, and its going to close around economic issues, campaign pollster Neil Newhouse said in an interview. When we start talking about gas prices, about the cost of living, about the economic squeeze that these women are living right now in terms of balancing their budgets and putting gas in the car and food on the table, we will hold our own among women.
But Jim Messina, Obamas campaign manager, says Romneys endorsement of conservative social issues that affect women will be impossible to shake.
Romney has doubled down on these positions in the primary, Messina said in an interview. He notes Romneys support for a law that would define a fetus as a person, effectively banning abortion and some forms of birth control, and
his opposition to federal funding for womens health programs offered by Planned Parenthood. Theyre going to try to Etch-a-Sketch their way out of it, but hes taken these positions and these are his positions.
Joetta Baker, 62, a fifth-grader teacher from West Bend, Wis., who was called in the poll, says she thinks many women are reacting with alarm to efforts by Republicans in Washington and in the state capital of Madison to turn the clock back on womens issues and the gains we made.
Thats very disheartening, she said in a follow-up phone interview. A Democrat, she voted for Obama in 2008 and plans to support him again.
The poll of 933 registered voters, taken March 20-26, has a margin of error of +/â(euro) 4 percentage points. The swing states surveyed are Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Men and women have somewhat different priorities. In a list of six issues, men rank dealing with the federal budget deficit and national debt as the leading factor affecting their vote; women choose health care. Both rate government policies on birth control at the bottom of the list, but women are much more likely to say they pay attention to that debate; one in four call it an extremely important factor for them.
Asked about the GOP candidates positions on contraception, most voters say they dont know enough to assess them, but those who do disagree with Romney and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum by more than 2-1. Those with a view on Obamas stance divide evenly.
Erica Desimone, 29, a homemaker and mother of three children from Baraboo, Wis., who was among those surveyed, isnt particularly enthusiastic about the Democrats but has been put off by Republicans. Shes likely to vote for Obama in November.
Theyre trying to make decisions for everybody when they dont agree, kind of forcing their rules and regulations on everybody, she says of the GOP. Whats more, the Republicans are really not on the side of the working poor, as far as that goes. Theyre more for the rich.
At a Romney town hall meeting in Muskego this weekend, supporters of the former Massachusetts governor had some thoughts about what he could do to address the gender gap.
Michelle Baron, 48, an IT consultant from Franklin, Wis., supports Romney as the only candidate that can go up against the Obama machine, but she worries that he needs to do more to appeal to women to win.

Ulrik Grape, who as CEO successfully led EnerDel through a ground-breaking expansion including massive capital investment, winning its first customer contracts, and installation of a state-of-the-art mass production line, has now been appointed President of Ener1 Europe. The division is being created to meet growing demand for electric drive and battery technology among the continent's top automakers as well as other business opportunities involving energy storage applications. There, Grape is expected to draw heavily on his experience launching several new start-ups in his career.
"European automakers are really setting the pace in terms of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle development and the build-out of utility grid infrastructure needed to maximize their operating advantages," Grape said. "We are always going to be an American company. But many of our core customer relationships are in Europe, and it now becomes crucial to establish ourselves with a commanding presence in a market where we expect to aggressively build out our business. We're also looking ahead to a time when business growth makes it sensible to extend custom-tailored pack assembly capacity closer to where customers need it."
EnerDel also announced today that Robert (Bob) Lawson, who oversaw Delco Remy's expansive customer relationships with global OEMs and has managed automotive manufacturing operations around the world, will become Vice President of Business Development for North America for EnerDel, focused on the vehicle applications side of the business.

Edgar Degas was a painter, poet and sculptor. A lonely and often difficult man to befriend. His working life was torn between the possibilities of capturing real moments in time and his loyalties to the classical tradition. Although classically trained Degas was influenced by modern technology. He interpreted much of his work adopting the impressionist ideology of the time which challenged traditional replication.
Written by Emma Kay, 'Edgar Degas: The Innovative Impressionist' exposes some of the lesser known aspects of Degas as a collector of Japanese art and his obsession with painting silk fans. It reveals a man often criticised wrongly for portraying women negatively. Rather he demonstrates an overriding respect and fascination for women through his relationships and work.
The illustrated ebook is one of the titles in Collca's 'BiteSize Biography' series and is available for popular ereaders such as the Kindle, Kobo, Nook and Apple's iBooks on the iPad, iPhone and iPod.

Model Railroad Hobbyist Magazine (MRH) has been one of my favorite discoveries since getting back into model railroading. MRH is based on-line, FREE to read and supported by paid advertising.
While I enjoy having a good model railroad book or magazine in my hands to flip through, the price of MRH has made it worth reading.
You can read the magazine on-line or download a copy of the magazine as a PDF for later reference. (I highly recommend high-speed connection for downloading).
There is a good variety of how-to's, layout tours, and columns. Anyone from a beginner to a seasoned pro can find something worth reading in each issue.
The website is http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/
I really enjoy the "One Evening Projects". The latest one is on weathering. Each article gets an easy to use feedback link like that where you can comment on articles and ask follow-up questions.
If you join their community (free registration), they have a lot of interesting forums with helpful advice for improving your model railroad.
They also offer all of their back-issues on-line for FREE download also.
Since it is FREE there is no risk to visiting and giving the site a look. If you enjoy the magazine check out some of their sponsors who keep it FREE and tell them that you saw their ad on MRH.

WASHINGTON — The evangelical Christian family that owns Hobby Lobby, the chain of craft stores, made history two weeks ago when the Supreme Court overturned the Obama administration's mandate that family-owned companies must provide contraceptive coverage to their employees, reports the New York Times.
Hobby Lobby family plans $800 million Bible museum in Washington, D.C.
Now, the family is looking to build a permanent presence on the Washington landscape, by establishing a sprawling museum dedicated to the Bible — just two blocks south of the National Mall.
The development of a Bible museum has long been a dream of the Oklahoma-based Green family, which has built Hobby Lobby into a $3 billion company in which its religious beliefs infuse every aspect of the business, from the music played in its stores to being closed on Sundays.
But on the heels of the company's legal victory, the project is raising concern in some quarters that the Greens' museum could blur the line between educating and evangelizing.

Legacy optical transport networks have been designed to provide Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) services such as voice traffic with high performance and low latency. However, the world of telecommunications is changing due to the accelerating demand for Ethernet services. Ethernet has been gaining greater interest from both data service providers and telecommunications service providers because of its low cost, flexibility, and bandwidth scalability. Moreover, optical transport networks are changing their properties to include burstiness and finer granularity. These changes are driving a move from circuit-based optical transport networks to packet-based optical transport networks in metro and core regions.

In the end, Greece did it
Updated: September 10, 2004, 7:57 AM ETBy Steve Woodward | Special to ESPN.com
ATHENS, Greece -- The Olympic Games in Athens were supposed to be a small sports and cultural festival in a small but famous city. The 1896 Games, that is.
These 2004 Games were neither small nor always festive but they were surely delivered here, in this improbable host city by the sea, as advertised for years by often embattled organizers. Unmistakably, these were "unique games on a human scale."
Memories of any Olympic experience soften with time and, some day, we'll all forget ...

Win a Bike Light – Motivational Monday with Tammy Sadle
Motivational Monday, a Monday tradition at Bike Shop Girl, my goal to keep you motivated and to be striving on the bike even during a hard week or long hours at work. Are you a woman that bicycles? Fill out this easy form and be part of our motivational movement!
This month's Motivational Monday posts are brought to you by one of my personal favorites, Light & Motion. Between now and the end of June, Light & Motion wants to know who or what in the cycling community motivates you. All you have to do us leave a comment here or on Light & Motions' Facebook page. At the end of the month we'll be choosing one lucky winner to score a brand new VIS 360 commuter light!
What's your name and location?
Tammy Sadle, Boulder, Colorado
What type of cycling do you enjoy?
You know, the 'wind in the hair' types…crusin', road, and mountain
What is your first cycling memory?
Me and my little sister, Kim, riding bikes in our community growing up. We had just watched The Muppet Movie and were trying to recreate the scene where Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy were riding figure eights on bikes while singing. Let's just say there was a minor collision and lots of laughter involved!
Who in the current cycling industry inspires you, and better yet WHY?
Organizations such as First Descents (who I'll be fundraising and racing the Leadville 100 for) and other Colorado based health promoting non-profits/charities have provided me with the 'WHY?' I needed to immerse myself back into competitive cycling. I had started to find bike racing to be a quite self-promoting sport and no longer knew how it fit into my broader life goals, until I signed up for LV100 with First Descents (they had 20 available spots for people willing to raise at least $3,000 before the start of the race). Suddenly I had purpose and desire beyond myself and was instantly enamored with the good vibes and happy faces of the entire mountain biking community. More specifically, my coach, Daniel Matheny (Carmichael Training Systems/Honey Stinger pro), is a big inspiration because he has been able to translate my 'turbo' and overachieving mentality (which often leads to burn out and disappointment) into goals, structure and lifestyle that are FUN, sustainable and low stress but not without challenge. Of course, the women of mountain biking (especially those with mad descending skills), and who represent and give back to their community, inspire me to be a positive example.
What was your best moment on a bike in 2010?
Racing with Jeanie Longo at Steamboat Stage Race and hearing her tell me to 'Go! Go!' in her cute French accent. She is amazing!
In the next year, what are your goals with cycling and pushing yourself forward in 2011?
To become more involved with local health promoting groups (especially with young girls/women) through volunteering (Valmont Bike Park, Colorado High School League, and others) and to continue to be true to myself…doing what feels good and makes me smile. Oh, I do have a list of skills I'd love to master which include learning to do a wheelie and some bike mechanics.
Wanna Know About my Bikes?
I purchased a 2010 Scott Spark Contessa which is totally tricked out with the best, hand picked parts. I take no credit for this, but am fully enjoying it and believe that to a large degree…it IS about the bike! You gotta find a bike that fits you well, is dependable and lightweight. Don't wait to become a cyclist, the right bike and gear can help with this! I also have a Cannondale CAAD-9 road bike with a Powertap to do structured power-based training and a fixed-gear road bike for fun.

I am totally motivated by people who spend their time educating kids about bicycling. We are so lucky in Washington state to have an amazing bicycle educator named Eileen Hyatt who through a Safe Routes to Schools Grant is now teaching kids across the state how to bike and bike safely – along with her other efforts… http://www.downtoearthnw.com/stories/2010/apr/17/eileen-hyatt-your-bike-buddy/
We need more like Eileen across the country!
I'll be honest..I was on my Twitter (which I am such a 'newb' at) and I saw one of your tweets…and I thought "Hmmmm I'd like to know a little more about this person" so I clicked on your profile and then your blog spot..and SHAZAM….sounds like brown nosing but really whenI saw the site it is people with your spirit, passion and drive that motivate me…. knowing that others share something that I find such JOY in cycling and seeing what they do with that passion is what makes me want to try harder to keep passing on my passion to others as well…….Life on a Bike is the sweetest there is! Thank you!
I am motivated by bikers who don't own a car. It's helped me realize I can ride in virtually any weather, and get just about any place by bike with a little planning. Most of these riders aren't outspoken cycling advocates, but their example provides the strongest message possible about the simple joy and practicality of cycling not to mention the health and environmental benefits every time I ride. Carless friends and co-workers have inspired me to increase both my recreational and commute riding.
Working in the bike industry gives me motivation nearly every day. For the most part, I wrench all the time. But on the occasion, I assist people in finding the right bike for them. Wheither its a young child or older person, I see in them a spark that a new bike brings to their eyes. A short travel in time to remember when I rode my bike for the pure joy as a kid. RIding around my house from morning to dark.
Now I not only ride to commute, save on fuel and money, not to mention the planet. I get that renewed feeling of pure joy rolling down the roads and pathways. I am a kid again..
I got into running last year to conquer my insecurity of not being athletic. With insecurities, I believe people can either sit and complain, accept their weakness, or change and get better. This was something I wanted to change. I could only do a couple miles at first, and I'd have to walk a ton. Eventually, I could run a few miles without walking. Then, I met my goal of running a half marathon! This year I made it a goal to do a triathlon…and now I'm addicted! I'm using my grandpa's old bike I found in the garage, and have already hit a 30-mile ride after not biking for years! I finally feel confident in my abilities. It's all determination.
I forgot to include a link to my First Descent fundraising page: http://teamfd.firstdescents.org/2011/fd/leadville100/TammySadle/
Only 7 days to raise the rest of the $3,000 I have committed to….but that sends at least 3 young adults with cancer to First Descents outdoor adventure camps!
Thank you all for considering donating.
Awesome blog! I'm a fellow bike lovin' FDer girl, and am so wowed that you're gonna take on the Leadville 100! Rock it, lady! I love bikes and just got a new rig. She's a blast! Anyway, thanks for being inspiring and raising money and awareness for such wonderful causes!

Artlantis 3 intros new geometry layers, animation effects
updated 11:35 am EDT, Fri October 9, 2009
Divided into Render, Studio editions
The Abvent Group has released Artlantis 3, a major update to the company's rendering software for architects, designers and planners. The suite uses a new layer structure, with scene, object, plant, lamp, animated object and billboard layers, as well as support for custom ones. Other new options include importing layers from ArchiCAD, or designating a layer as an automatic destination for a particular type of media.
Artlantis has also been upgraded with a faster and more accurate rendering engine, lighting fall-off presets and animated cloud and water effects, though the latter are only present in the Studio version of the suite. Both versions have been given editable anchor points, detachable model components, and a new media search tool. Import functions now support the Autodesk 2010 lineup, and users can now export to OBJ, FBX, U3D, DWF and SKP formats.
Version 3 runs on Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later, and is split into Render and more advanced Studio editions. The latter can be used to render content for QuickTime VR panoramas. Exact prices for either are available from Abvent's distributors.

New York City
For the pint-size Ini Ani Coffee Shop in Lower Manhattan, Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis reinvents the java-sipping experience
Fast, cheap, and in control. That's the way Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis (LTL) tackled the small but challenging job of designing and constructing a hip café in New York City's rapidly gentrifying Lower East Side. With less than three months from the start of design to the pouring of the first cappuccino and just $40,000 for construction, the 13-person firm managed to turn an old fortune-teller's parlor into an inviting place packed with spatial and material invention.
Headed by the twins David and Paul Lewis and Marc Tsurumaki, LTL designed and built almost everything in the 350-square-foot coffee shop—from the Cor-Ten-steel frame around the large (6-by-8-foot) storefront window to the vertical handle on the entry door and the light fixtures that combine a halogen spot with a flickering candle. Luckily, LTL's studio is right around the corner from the project, allowing the firm to fabricate pieces in their shop and walk them over themselves.
When the clients asked for a subdued lounge in addition to space for take-out orders, LTL created a box within a box, using stacks of 2-inch-wide strips of corrugated cardboard to define the sit-down area. The architects set these strips in a steel cage, hot-gluing them together for a dropped ceiling but relying on only gravity and a tight fit to keep them in place on the walls.
Along the path to the service counter, LTL created a wall with 479 plaster impressions of coffee-cup lids in various sizes and designs. The cool white surface, punctured by neat rows of circles, provides a welcome contrast to the rougher texture of the corrugated walls, and comments amusingly on our unthinking reliance on take-out throwaways. Customers at IniAni often stop at the plaster wall and marvel at the array (more than 50) of typically unnoticed lid variations.

Argentina Reaches Out to Iran Despite AMIA Charges
May 3, 2011
The 1992 and 1994 bombings of the Israeli Embassy and the Jewish Community Center (AMIA) killing over 100 people in Buenos Aires remain fresh in the minds of Argentineans. This has been true in part because those responsible for the terrorist acts—including a few Iranian government officials—have not yet been brought to justice and the Jewish community, publicly supported by the current and previous Kirchner administrations, has relentlessly sought closure.
More recently, however, there was a media stir instigated by a controversial Perfil news article on March 26 that accused Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman of brokering a secret deal with the Iranians to set aside the embassy and AMIA investigations in favor of increased commercial ties with Iran. Mr. Timerman did not outright deny the accusation, which ruffled feathers at home and in Israel where he was scheduled to visit a few weeks later. Tactful diplomacy and indirect denials during his official visit to Israel in early April helped smooth relations. Moreover, the newspaper did not provide evidence to back its claim and the issue has been publicly dropped. Nonetheless, the recent controversy calls into question the authenticity of the Argentinean government's public displays of support for the AMIA cause as it more quietly seeks closeness with Iran.

Spicy sandalwood. Delicious.
Dries down to a balanced sandalwood which is actually heavier than the Bois des Iles drydown.
Suitable for mature men and for colder months, this will not disappoint anyone.
I prefer Bois des Iles to Egoiste because it smells more creamy in the base.
So if you like Egoiste, the next step to try is Bois des Iles.

@tastewithkevin @judytrib can't wait to open! We'll save you a seat and a pizza square. :)
@scottkleinberg @judytrib we look forward to having you dine with us!
You have the best frozen pizza I have ever tasted. Your frozen pizzas are better than most restaurants around the Carolinas. My wife and my two daughters feel the same way. I wish you had restaurants around here and also wish that more grocery store chains would carry your pizzas. Keep up the great art of making fine pizzas."
I tried my first Home Run Inn frozen pizza tonight and thought it was the best frozen pizza I have ever had. Great crust and the sauce has an excellent flavor. Thanks for making this great product available in the south!"
