It was an article in Cosmopolitan magazine about hidden cameras, according to the woman's attorney, that got her thinking about the smoke alarm inside her Chevy Chase apartment — the one over her bed, the one allegedly put there by her landlord.
She and her boyfriend examined the device. What they found, police say, started an investigation that has the landlord facing a March 4 trial in Montgomery County District Court on charges of secretly recording three tenants while they were nude or engaged in intimate acts with their boyfriends.
The landlord, Dennis Alan Van Dusen, a 63-year-old lawyer who holds graduate degrees from Harvard University, is also being sued by two of the women and one of their boyfriends, who accuse him of invasion of privacy. "My clients have been traumatized by this," said Donna McBride, an attorney for a tenant and a boyfriend.
Van Dusen declined to comment. His attorney in the criminal matter, Samuel Delgado, stressed that Van Dusen is presumed innocent of the allegations against him. "I intend to look at all the evidence, pick it apart piece by piece, and hopefully vindicate him," Delgado said.
A.P. Pishevar, an attorney for Van Dusen in the civil ligation, described his client as "a good man who has served his country as a retired Marine. These accusations are false and defamatory and will be challenged in a court of law."
The case surfaced amid a string of reported cyber-peeping incidents and at a time when cameras are getting smaller, more powerful and less expensive.
"Manufacturing is up, prices are down and demand is growing," said Michael Peros of bugged.com, which sells the devices. "It's kind of like anything in life. It can be used in a good way, or it can be used in a bad way."
This month, a Manassas homeowner allegedly positioned a video camera about the size of a cellphone in his bathroom — specifically among a basket of toiletries — during a Super Bowl party, according to Prince William County police.
One of the guests discovered it, leading to charges of "unlawful filming of another" against Philip Caplinger, 46, police said. Caplinger declined to comment.
In Howard County, a man was charged after appearing in one of his own recordings, according to authorities.
Michael Stephen McKenny, 42, who is scheduled to go to trial May 7, allegedly broke into a condominium, hid a Recluse Black Box video camera and captured images of two women in various stages of undress, according to Howard County court records.
Police say McKenny slipped back into the condominium several times, changing the position of the camera to capture images in two bedrooms and at least one bathroom. Police tracked McKenny down after confiscating the camera, watching the video, and seeing several images of him positioning the device, according to authorities. McKenny's attorney, David Zwanetz, declined to comment.
Today's tiny video and audio recorders, which can be hidden in smoke alarms, clock radios and even calculators, can sell for as little as $49, plus about $35 for the memory card, Peros said. The devices, equipped with motion sensors and tiny batteries, can capture a week's worth of video and audio. That kind of technology five years ago, he said, would have cost about $5,000. Ten years ago, the price would have exceeded $25,000.
About 15 percent of his firm's cyber- and bug-sweeping practice, Peros said, involves tracking down peeping-Tom cameras.
In the Chevy Chase case, Van Dusen was renting out three rooms in his home, a blue-gray house on tree-lined Ridgewood Avenue, about one mile north of the District, according to police reports and court records. Two of the rooms are on an upper level, and the other is in the basement. Everyone shared the house's common areas, according to police reports.
In October 2012, a tenant in the basement became concerned about the smoke alarm above her bed.
"Whenever the power would go out, all the smoke detectors on her level would beep, but the one above her bed did not," according to Montgomery police documents.
The tenant said she and her boyfriend then examined the smoke detector and found video-recording equipment and wires leading back into the ceiling. In the early morning of Oct. 13, she called police, and two officers went to her apartment and took photographs of the device, according to police reports.
Police later confiscated Van Dusen's laptop computer and two hard drives from his room in the house, according to a detective's affidavit filed in court. An examination of the equipment found "sexually/nude videos" of the three tenants and their boyfriends, according to the affidavit. The videos also revealed that Van Dusen had put "hidden surveillance devices in each of the renters' rooms," the affidavit states.
Police charged Van Dusen with seven counts of visual surveillance without consent, seven counts of using a camera without consent for "prurient intent" and one count of placement of a surreptitious surveillance device, according to court records. Records do not indicate that any of the alleged video images were posted on the Internet.
In an interview Friday, one of the tenants who is suing said that, at first, she couldn't believe the allegations because nothing seemed out of the ordinary about Van Dusen. Then the police called her to a station and showed her videos that she said were clearly recorded in her upstairs room.
"I was completely shocked," said the woman, 27, who works at a law firm in Virginia and asked not to be named. "I couldn't sleep for days. I could barely eat."
The tenant said she thinks there were at least two hidden cameras in her room — one in the ceiling, possibly in a smoke detector, and one in a wall. The images appeared to go back at least a year, she said. She wondered whether Van Dusen had been nice to her because he felt guilty. "Now I'm thinking that he was too nice," she said.
The lawsuits allege that on Oct. 14, the day after police officers went to the house, Van Dusen sent text messages to two tenants. "I am willing to discuss settlement before you make a claim but not afterward," the text messages allegedly said. "Best to communicate by email or txt."
Jennifer Jenkins contributed to this report.

It's been a bad week to be in the air.
Scalpel and his commenters pretty thoroughly covered the case of the woman who died en route from Port-au-Prince to New York, and I don't have much to add to their comments, except to agree that oxygen probably would not have made the critical difference between surviving and not. While all health professionals tend to grit our teeth whenever we read lay media reports of medical care, it's particularly cringe-worthy that numerous media reports describe the AED as "malfunctioning" or broken. If it didn't fire, it's because the heart rhythm was not VT or VF. That is not a failure of the device -- it's working as designed.
I'm presuming the pads were properly attached. I once saw someone try to put them on over the patient's clothing. Not gonna work.
Erik pointed out a link to a really cool gadget which allows remote telemetry and diagnostics. I could see wearing it in the ER if all that data was displayed on the wristband. It's like a tricorder, almost. But looking at the pics, I suspect that the data would be available only to the remote consultant, which is a bummer. (Hey, that might be a neat moonlighting opportunity.)
I recall when I had to perform rounds on sequential trans-atlantic flights, it was maddening because Olympic Air didn't even have an AED; Delta did have one, but there is no display, so I couldn't even see a rhythm (a key limitation, since the patient's pulse was about 160).
In an unrelated but oddly coincidental story, a co-pilot of a British Airbus A320 died in flight on a trip from Manchester to Cyprus, forcing an emergency diversion to Istanbul.
It's a little surprising and different from the first story, since the passenger was known to have heart problems, whereas the pilot was young and healthy. I don't know as much about England's CAA medical standards, but the FAA is relatively stringent with regard to a First-Class Medical required to pilot large jets -- any history of Coronary Artery Disease or Diabetes will get you grounded. There are provisions for getting your ticket back, but it requires excellent control and rigorous documentation. The net result is that as a group, professional pilots tend to be much healthier than most. Which makes an episode of sudden death that much more surprising. Maybe he flew so much he developed a DVT and died when the blood clot went to his lung. We'll never know; lotsa things can kill you quick. Sad for his family.
Curiously, it was almost exactly a year ago that the same thing happened, only it was in the US, and the captain, not the first officer. I wonder how often that sort of thing happens?

I'm confused though, didn't they use the excuse for the original TATgate that they didn't educate themselves on the compliance rules enough? Yet, apparently, Sweater McCheaty McLiar Vest and his staff have been attending these NCAA rules education sessions on a consistent basis? Which is it?

Palm Desert Gang Related Crimes Defense Attorney
Prosecution for gang-related crimes is a high priority in Riverside County and throughout the Coachella Valley. District attorneys look for ways to tie a street robbery or other crime to gang activity, increasing the penalties you face if convicted. Many crimes that are committed to benefit a gang can lead to life in prison. It is imperative imperative you need a Palm Desert gang related crimes defense attorney.

Minors and the Three Strike Law
If your minor-age child has been charged with a gang crime, you should know that a conviction or guilty plea can be counted as a strike under California's "three strikes" law. This means that even if your child is only 16, a conviction now will be used against him/her in the event of any other serious or violent felony charges – such as assault, weapons charges, theft or drug offenses anytime in the future.

Bugaboo + Van Gogh: The collaboration
Bugaboo + Van Gogh: The collaboration
2015-04-01 - The Bugaboo + Van Gogh collection is now available, high time to take a closer look at what drove these two Dutch originals to collaborate.
When Bugaboo and the Van Gogh Museum decided to collaborate on a stroller it quickly became apparent that the 'Almond Blossom' painting (1890), which represents new life and new beginnings, was the perfect fit for the Bugaboo Bee3: the urban stroller for parents who live life on the fly. The bold, dramatic brush strokes and colors that give van Gogh's work a sense of movement are a perfect fit for Bugaboo.
Vincent van Gogh's great craftsmanship and attention to detail have inspired Bugaboo's mission to create unique and enduring strollers that let you and your child explore the world in style, comfort and ease. The Bugaboo + Van Gogh collection, like the artist's work, encourages you to discover the world around you, viewing it from new and different perspectives.
Ask any art lover which artist pioneered a new style of painting and changed the face of art history forever and chances are they will answer: Vincent van Gogh. A Dutch painter born in the 19th century, Van Gogh was a game changer from the get go. His unconventional approach to painting may not have earned him fame during his own life, but thanks to Jo Bonger, the widow of his brother Theo who died soon after Vincent, Van Gogh is now a household name recognized for his pure talent. Vincent dared to dream, to play with perspective, color and human features in a way that his subjects appeared almost cartoonlike.
"To be inventive means choosing a new and unexpected route. Even if people do not get it (yet), you have to stay true to your concept." - Max Barenbrug
This quote by Max Barenbrug, Founder and Chief Design Officer of Bugaboo, shows how much contemporary designers are still inspired by Vincent van Gogh to this day.

OnLive's disintegration in August was abrupt. One day the cloud-based streaming video game service was plugging along, the next its entire staff was liquidated. As details emerged, it came out that one of the investment firms that had initially backed OnLive back in 2009, Lauder Partners, was now sole owner of the company. How much did it pay?
Lauder Partners has poured a good amount of capital into other streaming entertainment businesses, including local television provider Aereo and Smart TV software producers like TrickPlay. Streaming video game businesses cost a princely sum based on recent transactions. Sony dropped $380 million on OnLive's competitor Gaikai in July. Lauder spent a comparatively paltry $4.8 million on OnLive.
The San Jose Mercury News acquired a letter written by Joel Weinberg, CEO of Insolvency Services Group, the company charged with handling OnLive's liquidation of assets prior to the company's near closure. Weinberg's letter states that Lauder swept in at precisely the right moment to buy up what remained of OnLive.
"Had the sale to the buyer not taken place, the assignee would have been left with inadequate capital to fund the significant costs to preserve and market OnLive's patents and other intellectual property, thus greatly reducing expected recoveries essentially to those of a forced piecemeal auction," reads the letter. In short: Taking just a paltry sum from Laudner was better than incurring the cost of actually trying to sell OnLive's assets.
The dire state of OnLive when it declared insolvency in August is enhanced by other figures revealed. While the company had raised as much as $40 million prior to opening for business in 2010, it had accrued nearly $19 million in debt by the time it dissolved this summer, not counting future costs for maintaining its facilities.
It was OnLive's employees who got the rawest deal. Not only did they lose their jobs, but according to a report at The Verge, many of them had spent significant sums on shares in the company that were rendered worthless when it declared insolvency. That same report says that clients including Samsung and LG had offered to buy the company, but CEO Steve Perlman refused to sell, preventing those employees from seeing any return on their investment.

Toronto needs Morrow, young arms to step up in '14
TORONTO -- The calendar is about to switch to 2014, and that can only be good news for a Blue Jays organization that is looking to close the door on a disappointing year and start with a clean slate in the American League East.
The goal during Spring Training will be to completely wash away the memories of a 2013 season that went off the rails before the end of April and instead focus on how the club can even the competitive balance within its own division.
TORONTO -- The calendar is about to switch to 2014, and that can only be good news for a Blue Jays organization that is looking to close the door on a disappointing year and start with a clean slate in the American League East.
The goal during Spring Training will be to completely wash away the memories of a 2013 season that went off the rails before the end of April and instead focus on how the club can even the competitive balance within its own division.
It's sometimes easy to forget that Toronto was generally regarded as having the best team in the AL on paper at the start of 2013. The expectations have since changed, but the core remains mostly intact and a return to career norms from several players would go a long way in helping the organization regain its footing.
The offense projects to be one of the league's best, with Jose Reyes leading off and Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion once again representing the heart of the lineup. Add in production from the likes of Colby Rasmus, Brett Lawrie, Melky Cabrera and Adam Lind, and there are the makings of a very productive group, if everyone can stay healthy.
The pitching is where most of the significant questions remain unanswered. R.A. Dickey and Mark Buehrle will once again be relied upon to eat up a lot of innings, while the team's biggest wild card can be found in right-hander Brandon Morrow. The rest of the starting staff has yet to take shape, and barring any future additions, would see the likes of J.A. Happ, Esmil Rogers, Todd Redmond, Drew Hutchison, Kyle Drabek, Marcus Stroman and Sean Nolin battle it out for the remaining two spots.
Toronto's bullpen once again should be a major strength on the team with an impressive group of hard-throwing relievers that be can be used at manager John Gibbons' disposal. The depth can be found not only in late-inning relief, but also the middle section and Minor Leagues. There's a lot to work from, and it should at least help overcome some potential issues in the starting staff.
One year ago, the Blue Jays were among the favorites to win it all. The same hype won't surround the team this spring, but it's also possible that could work in the club's favor. Here's a closer look at the questions that require positive answers in order for the Blue Jays to once again become relevant in the AL East:
10. Will Rasmus be able to repeat his production from the 2013 season?
Rasmus was one of the few players on Toronto's roster that enjoyed a breakout season this past year. Despite missing the final stretch because of various injuries, Rasmus enjoyed a very productive year that saw him post 22 homers and an .840 OPS in 118 games. The season was reminiscent of his 2010 campaign in St. Louis, and another strong showing would ultimately result in a very large payday when Rasmus becomes a free agent at the end of the year.
9. Is 2014 when Lawrie breaks out and officially becomes one of the Blue Jays' best assets?
Lawrie's 2013 season got off to a rough start when he was forced to miss the first couple of weeks because of a rib injury. The problems extended to the field when he prematurely rushed back, and as a result, dealt with timing issues at the plate. It wasn't until the second half of the year that Lawrie really began to settle in and perform the way most people expected. He will once again be a key component of the offense, and if healthy, provides a lot more depth to an impressive lineup.
8. Will Dickey get off to another slow start, or will his second-half success from 2013 carry over into the new calendar year?
Dickey struggled during April and had difficulties keeping the ball in the park during the first half of the season, but after the All-Star Break, he became a different pitcher. The veteran knuckleballer posted an impressive 3.56 ERA during his final 14 starts, and the Blue Jays would be more than happy with that type of production next year.
7. Toronto's bullpen was one of the best in baseball this past year, but can the impressive group once again defy the odds and maintain that consistent level of production?
The bullpen was supposed to be the club's biggest weakness in 2013, but instead turned into a strength. The problem is that relievers are notoriously tough to predict from one year to the next. There's a long line of bullpen arms who have enjoyed a season or two of success in the Major Leagues and eventually fell on hard times. Closer Casey Janssen is the most proven commodity here, but there's plenty of depth with the likes of Sergio Santos, Brett Cecil and Steve Delabar. Even if some of the relievers falter, there are several other candidates that should be ready to step in.
6. Which version of Cabrera will show up in 2014?
Cabrera looked great in Spring Training, but when the season actually began he appeared to be a shell of his former self. Cabrera battled discomfort in his legs for most of the season, which not only impacted his power at the plate, but also his range in left field. It wasn't until the end of August that a cause was found, as Cabrera had a tumor removed from his spine during a very serious surgical procedure. Cabrera is supposed to be ready to go by the start of Spring Training and could be in line for a bounce-back season. He might never be the player he was in San Francisco, but there's still plenty of upside in his bat if Cabrera can prove his medical condition and various injuries are a thing of the past.
5. Who will be the Blue Jays' starting second baseman on Opening Day?
Toronto was expected to acquire a second baseman this offseason, but to date that move hasn't surfaced. That could open the door for rookie Ryan Goins to assume the full-time duties, while Maicer Izturis returns to his familiar utility-man role. There are plenty of question marks surrounding Goins' ability to hit at the Major League level, but he does provide well above-average defense at second, which is something the club missed in 2013. It's still possible that the Blue Jays could address this position with another move in January, but as of now, it appears to be Goins' job to lose in Spring Training.
4. The Blue Jays have a series of young starting pitchers ready to step into the fold, but who will emerge as a reliable option for a team that wants to win now?
Regardless of how Toronto's rotation ultimately sets up, there will be a need for another wave of pitchers throughout the season. The lack of organizational depth was exposed in 2013, as the likes of Chien-Ming Wang, Ramon Ortiz and Dave Bush were called upon to make starts. That won't be the case next year, as a talented group of youngsters is on the way. Drew Hutchison, Kyle Drabek, Stroman, Sean Nolin and possibly even top prospect Aaron Sanchez could get an extended look at some point. If Toronto ends up contending in 2014, it will very likely be because at least one person from this group emerged as a reliable option.
3. Following several years as a back-up catcher, is Dioner Navarro ready to handle a full-time workload?
General manager Alex Anthopoulos' first move of the offseason was agreeing to sign Navarro to a two-year contract worth $8 million. The move came on the heels of Navarro's impressive season with the Cubs that saw him hit .300 with an .856 OPS. However, Navarro only played in 89 games and hasn't been a full-time catcher since he started 115 games for the Rays in 2009. Navarro will need to prove he's up to the task of playing on a regular basis, while also maintaining his offensive upside at the plate.
2. Will this finally be the year that the team's overall health becomes a mere footnote instead of the defining storyline?
One of the underlying themes for each of the past two seasons in Toronto has been the number of injuries. In 2012, the Blue Jays lost Morrow, Hutchison and Drabek in a span of just four days, while the following year, injuries to Reyes, Lawrie, Morrow, Bautista, Rasmus, Cabrera and Johnson became major talking points. Every team is going to have its injuries, but the overall number that have taken place in Toronto has been alarming. There's enough depth to overcome a couple of injuries at any given time, but the Blue Jays will need to stay relatively healthy next year in order to remain in contention.
1. Is this finally the year that Morrow emerges as one of the best starting pitchers in the American League?
Morrow has all of the necessary tools to become one of the top starting pitchers in the game. He possesses an overpowering fastball and a wipe-out slider that leads to a high number of strikeouts. During the 2012 season, he also seemed to really figure out the art of pitching and became much better at mixing speeds and locations. The issue here is that in each of the past two years, he has missed significant time because of injury. The Blue Jays have spent almost their entire offseason searching for a frontline starter, but it's unlikely that the club will find anyone with more upside than Morrow. He is by far the biggest wild card on next year's roster, and his emergence as an elite starter would go a long way in helping the Blue Jays get back into the postseason.

While reviewing some old campaign files, I happened across the following description of a magic item I invented for a 4e campaign a few years ago. The item has more of an old-school feel; it doesn't really qualify as a 4e trap or hazard, but isn't a magic item or relic a character can take or use, either, so I'm calling it a "4e item," for lack of a better term.
The Looking Glass of the Ixenos
Although its original name has been lost to history, the enchanted item now known as The Looking Glass of the Ixenos carries its name from having caused the downfall of the Ixenos family, a human clan of Nurite descent that came to live in Varos, serving the empire as regional exarchs in an outlying province. The family dabbled in the study of and pacts with infernal entities and, influenced by the visions and powers granted by the looking glass, eventually became tieflings. When the family's infernal nature was discovered, the local church of Pelor led the peasantry and local military in revolt; most family members were slain outright and burned on consecrated ground, but a handful fled to the family's mausoleum at the edge of their villa, where they were entombed alive with the Looking Glass. The villa and adjacent settlement were considered cursed, and were abandoned to ruin even before the Rising of the Scourge.
The relic is essentially a hemisphere, carved from a reddish crystal of indeterminate origin. The hemisphere is situated with the flat surface facing upward, and set upon a plain onyx pedestal some three feet in height. Abyssal runes are carved along the edges of the flat surface; a DC 15 arcana or religion check allows them to be read as, "The blood makes one more himself than he already is." The only other disturbance in the mirror-smooth top of the relic is a peculiar depression, perhaps an inch deep and a handspan across, with a needle-sharp spire of the reddish crystal, about three inches high, protruding from its center. A narrow channel has been carved into the spire, starting at the point and spiraling downward into the depression.
When any sentient creatures, excepting tieflings, approach, the Looking Glass sends a telepathic message in the creatures' native tongues. Common messages include, "Come to me, and you will realize your untapped power," "Touch the spire and see your true self," and, "You do not know the power in your own heart; touch the spire and you will see."
Anyone hearing the message and touching the spire releases a drop of blood, that glows softly as it flows through the channel into the depression. The glow then spreads across the smooth surface of the Looking Glass, shimmering and expanding into a mirror-like surface. The Looking Glass is anything but an ordinary mirror, however; it reflects only the evil present in the viewer. Thus, any imperfect, prime material being will be greeted with a twisted, infernal visage embodying all that is evil and sinful in their hearts, which they instinctively know is absolutely true.
Being suddenly confronted with the unmitigated image of one's dark side can be overwhelming. In game terms, this mental shock is treated as an attack at +10 upon the viewer's Will Defense.If the attack misses, the viewer can tear his eyes away without permanent consequence, although experiencing recurring nightmares during the next several weeks is probable. If the attack hits, the viewer has effectively sealed a pact in his own blood with an infernal entity: the benefits of this pact are immediately apparent, but the consequences are not.
The power gained is the permanent ability to re-use an expended encounter power once per day. Unfortunately, every time this ability is used, it causes a change to the viewer's appearance, in the following sequence:
First instance: the character's tongue becomes forked. This change is easily concealed, apart from the character having a slight, serpentine lisp for a few days as he grows accustomed to his new anatomy.
Second instance: the character's canine teeth – both upper and lower – elongate in much the same way as a vampire's or wolf's. Again, this can be concealed, although the character may look a bit fuller in the face.
Third instance: the character's fingernails itch for a few days; after an extended rest, the character awakens to find that his fingernails have transformed into discolored claws. Only gloves or gauntlets can cover this deformity.
Fourth instance: the character's ears become enlarged, and slope to a point. A hood or helmet must be worn to conceal this change.
Fifth instance: sharp horns, about an inch high, emerge from the character's head.
Sixth instance: a sulphurous smell wafts about the character at all times, and no amount of bathing can remove it.
Seventh instance: The character's eyes develop a reddish glow; while he can still see normally, he instinctively knows that further changes will radically alter his physical form, and that he may lose control of his own mind, as well.
Eighth instance: the character's feet become cloven hooves.
Ninth instance: the character sprouts a slender, pointed tail, measuring about four feet in length.
Tenth instance: the character's skin is replaced with reddish scales, and the character is surrendered to the Dungeon Master, to be used as a non-player character henceforth.

Theo Coconut Salted Almond Bites
I have often desired a better version of the Almond Joy. I love the combination of chocolate and almonds and coconut, but the classic Almond Joy is just a little too sweet and well, has a lot of unnecessary ingredients.
Theo Chocolate of Seattle has been making organic and ethically sourced chocolate for quite a while, and even make one of my favorite bars, their Salted Almond Dark Chocolate. Their newest product expansion has been in the arena of traditional candy bars made with better ingredients (liked their peanut butter cups). The newest is Theo Coconut Salted Almond Bites. They're part of a full line of coconut bites that come in milk or dark chocolate as well, but the twist here that combined an already well-loved bar was too enticing to resist, even at $2.39 for a scant 1.3 ounce package.
The ingredients are non-GMO, fair trade, palm oil free, soy free and organic. It's also vegan (but made on shared equipment, so not necessarily for folks with dairy or egg allergies.)
The little squares do not look like Almond Joy. The almonds are actually little slivers and chips within the coconut filling, not a couple of whole almonds on top with the chocolate coating.
The smell is comforting, a clean coconut scent, but not quite as sweet and perfumey as suntan oil. The bite is soft, the filling is chewy but not at all sticky. The coconut is moist and distinct. The best part of the whole thing though is the dark touch of the chocolate shell. It's deep and has a light sweetness that really isn't found in the coconut. The salt really isn't evident as a discrete element, but the whole thing isn't sweet or cloying. The almond provide a different crunch over the chewy coconut.
It's a very light treat, with really strong flavors and textures. This could become a regular habit ... actually, it has, this is the third bar I've purchased since they came out. It took me a while to control myself long enough to take photos.

Il Morso Coffee Bars
Il Morso, which means the bite in Italian, is a new, solid form of coffee. Though the concept of coffee being treated like chocolate is hardly new, it's very rarely implemented. Il Morso not only attempts to make a solid coffee/chocolate hybrid, by using cocoa butter with coffee beans, but they're doing it with all natural ingredients and far less sugar than others who have come before them.
There are three different little bites in their current line: Americano, Coffee & Cream and Mocha. They also make a Matcha version with green tea instead of coffee. They use organic ingredients, no emulsifiers and pure cane sugar.
I tried Il Morso at the Fancy Food Show, before they were selling at retail. Now they're available in limited stores and on the web. The company sent me this sampler box so that I could try all the flavors.
An Americano is espresso with a little water in it, to create the same consistency as a standard drip coffee. The Americano Coffee Bar is actually quite simple when it comes to ingredients, just three of them: Espresso Beans, Cocoa Butter and Cane Sugar.
Each little bite of the Americano Coffee Bar, the most intense coffee bar they make, has about 18 mg of caffeine. They're also only 20 calories, partly because they're so small (4 grams) but don't be fooled because there's no milk in there, there's still plenty of fat from the cocoa butter (not a bad thing).
The bar smells like coffee, like coffee grounds, not quite like brewed coffee or espresso. It's woodsy and deep with toffee and charcoal notes. The bite is easy, this is very similar in texture to a chocolate bar. The melt is easy and fast, but not too slick. There's a slight chalky texture, like that sludge at the bottom of a cup of coffee, but this is by far the smoothest coffee item I've had. The sweetness is there from the sugar, but it's very clean and just enough to moderate the more intense bitterness from the coffee.
Though it's a small square, it's quite intense and I don't feel like I would ever want a full bar of this.
The Coffee & Cream Bar comes in at 16 mg of caffeine and 25 calories. This one contains milk powder in addition to the coffee, cocoa butter and sugar. You can see from the picture though, this is not milk chocolate, it is still very intensely coffee, but the milk is there to bring a more mild note to the bar without adding more sugar.
It's funny that it does not smell as strongly of coffee as the Americano. It tastes, though, really much the same. The bitterness, the sort of acidic note of strong coffee, that's all there, but it's just slightly milder. It's also smoother and has a lighter finish to it.
The Mocha Bar is the same as Coffee & Cream with the addition of some 70% chocolate. Sometimes I feel like chocolate bars with coffee in them are just that, chocolate bars first. Here, this is fully a coffee bar with chocolate in there. This one comes in with only 15 calories and 14 mg of caffeine.
This bar is absolutely the smoothest. It's also the least sweet, if that's possible. The coffee notes are most forward and the least bitter of the three bars, but no less rounded with the toffee and roasted notes. The chocolate is a smooth background with a hint of brownies and bananas.
The final bar is not coffee but all, it's their only Tea Bar, the Matcha Tea Bar. This one has four ingredients: matcha, cocoa butter, milk powder and sugar. It's also 20 calories but has only 7 mg of caffeine.
It's quite green and smells like grass clippings, pistachios, jasmine and tea. The texture is smooth, but the whole effect of the tea is a little perfumey and soapy. There's bit of bitterness that comes out after the cocoa butter and milk has dissipated. The floral notes linger long after the bar is gone, so it's much fresher feeling than the coffee bars.
Overall, I think these are fantastic. I love the intensity of the bites, though they feel less like candy and more like a snack because there's so little sugar in them. I'm also glad they're so satisfying, I never feel the need to eat more than two at a time, because I wouldn't want to over consume caffeine, especially late in the day. It's a great option for travelers as well, if you need a little boost. They don't seem to have the same problems with cocoa butter bloom as chocolate does, or at least the few that I traveled with melted and reformed pretty well.
The packaging is lovely and has a lot of information packed on to the little squares, which I appreciate. I don't see myself buying these often by the box, but they would make great favors or gifts for those who truly love coffee. If I could find a candy shop that has them by the piece, I'd be willing to pay $1.75 each for them ... based on how big they taste, not how big they are.
There's no statement about nuts or other allergens on the packaging. These are very pricey, though premium coffee drinks are also pricey and these are just more portable.

Raaka Bourbon Cask Aged 82% Chocolate
There are now dozens of small-batch chocolate makers scattered around North America. One that caught my eye a couple of years ago won the Good Food Award in 2013. Raaka Chocolate is based in Brooklyn, New York and was founded in 2010.
The team at Raaka says,"We make virgin chocolate from unroasted cacao beans. Our unique process preserves each region's wild flavors, bringing you closer to the bean."
The unique style of their bars means that they use organic beans that have been naturally fermented and dried but not roasted. The result is a bar that is like the chocolate that we all know, but with some differences ... not necessarily things that make it better or worse, just different. The cacao is direct sourced while the sugar is organic and fair trade certified. Most of their bars are just beans and evaporated cane juice (no vanilla, no emulsifiers) but the bar I picked out for review was the Raaka Virgin Chocolate Bourbon Cask Aged - Belize 82%. This bar also has some maple sugar in it.
As you can guess from the name, the notable thing about this cacao is that it is first aged in oak bourbon casks from Berkshire Mountain Distilling. I've had chocolate that's been aged in barrels before, but never chocolate made from beans that have been aged in barrels. For roasted cacao that wouldn't work, because the roasting would probably remove the flavors the casks introduce, but remember Raaka is working with unroasted beans, the way the beans are treated before grinding will definitely affect flavor.
The bar mold is dead simple, just a 1.8 ounce plank with no scoring, no design. There's a great snap to it, and glossy sheen on the outside, but a little rough looking inside.
The bar smells, well, a little like bourbon. There's a vanilla note and some light peat along with some other more yeasty bread notes. The melt of the chocolate is not quite as creamy as some bars I've had, but certainly not gritty. It's smoother than Taza, which is also stone ground. The yeasty notes are very strong along with an acidic bite and a light coffee and maple note. It's undeniably chocolate, but with a kick that is a little more unformed, a little less refined. The bar also changed, as I nibbled on it over several weeks. The bitterness dissipated (oxidation can do that) and I found a few more berry jam notes to it.
For an 82% bar, it's not as dense as you might expect. I've certainly had 70% bars that are more intense. This may be because there's some extra cocoa butter added in, which counts towards the cacao percentage, but does help mellow its severity.
I appreciate the bar, and enjoyed it quite a bit. I kept in my purse for several weeks, but never felt the need for more than a little half inch square at a time. The rustic melt was not as decadent as bars I usually prefer, so sometimes this felt like it demanded more attention to enjoy, like the different between classic sonnets and some free verse.
Their facility and bars are vegan, nut free, soy free, gluten free and made from all organic ingredients.

YumEarth Organics Gummy Fruits
YumEarth Organics Gummy Fruits were a surprising item to see at the Walgreen's. It's an appealing package, but the fact that Walgreen's has some all natural and organic offerings in the sweets aisle was impressive.
The soft and chewy candy comes in four flavors: banana, cherry, peach and strawberry. The package says these organic candies use no artificial colors or flavors, are made with real fruit juice and are fat free, nut free, gluten free and contain 100% of the daily RDA of vitamin C.
Here's the thing about these, they're not gummis. Though many candy companies use gummi and jelly interchangeably, gummis are very specifically a gelatin-based confection. These are jelly candies and there's nothing wrong with that, when you're selling yourself as a vegan candy.
They're not jelly beans, they're more like gumdrops. It's a jelly center with a little sugar sanding on the outside, slightly smaller than a gourmet jelly bean.
The colors are muted so it's hard to tell the flavors apart on sight. The easiest one for me to pick out was the Peach. The sugar sanding helped to sell the fuzzy flavor, which has a nice acidic bite and slightly piney/apricot flavor.
Cherry looked a lot like the peach, a medium orange color. It's nice and jammy, though not much else going on with it, it's not as tangy as the peach.
The Strawberry was difficult to discern as was the Banana. There was a definitely a yellow candy but it didn't taste like banana or strawberry, more like a generic jam that you'd put on your generic toast.
Oddly enough, even though I don't care much for cherry or peach as candy flavors, those two in combination made a really interesting punch flavor when eaten together.
The texture is very firm, though not quite gummi, it's a nice texture that releases a lot of flavor after you get past the sugar crust.
I think children may like them, but they're not as versatile as something like a jelly bean because they're just a bit messier. The colors are very hard to tell apart, especially in dim light situations. But, the assortment stands well in combination, so just tossing a few without looking into your mouth should work out fine.

Theo My Cherry Baby
It's hard to resist a pretty bit of packaging, especially when, as I mentioned in last week's review of the Theo's Love Crunch, a chocolate bar is far better than a greeting card. The bubbly design in reds and pinks is a bit feminine, but the flavors should suit anyone who likes their milk chocolate on the deeper side of the pool.
This Theo bar delivers on the promise of the package, for me. The wrapper for the Theo Chocolate My Cherry Baby bar says, Fall in love with cherries in dreamy 45% milk chocolate - tangy, sweet and yummy.
The bars are made in Seattle with ethically sourced, non GMO, no soy, gluten free, Kosher and in this case, at a darn affordable price. For some reason they weren't $4 a bar, which Theo is usually priced, but I got mine for $1.50 each.
The bar is a dark milk, which is a nice place to start for a high end bar. The flavor is quite deep with rich coffee notes, but also quite a bit of malt and even a hint of yeast in there. The cherry pieces are tiny and a bit on the leathery side. They're tangy and chewy, but not freeze dried crispy bits either. The flavor combines well, though both seem to bring out bitter notes in each other - I got the cherry skin bitterness on one hand and the roasted acrid notes from the chocolate.
It's a tasty bar, easy to eat, but I felt no need to eat more than a large square at a time, even though a half of a bar is the recommended dose.
I do enjoy Theo Chocolate's seasonal bars quite a bit, much more than their standard just-chocolate. The gold standard for them will probably always be the Dark Chocolate Salted Almond ... but toss in a few cherries for a holiday version, and I might be inclined to revise my opinion.

Torie & Howard: Meyer Lemon & Raspberry
Torie & Howard makes organic hard candies in a variety of fruit flavors.
I got this sample from the Fancy Food Show last month in their newest variety: Meyer Lemon & Raspberry Organic Hard Candy
They come in lovely tins, or can be purchased in bulk to refill the tin as well. There are some elegant touches, such as the inside of the tin is turquoise blue, instead of the default tin color.
As hard candies, the ingredients are pretty simple, so they're organic, contain no corn syrup or gluten and are also free from GMO, soy and dairy products.
The little wrappers take up a substantial amount of space in the tin, but they do hold 2 ounces of actual candy (more than the discontinued Altoids Sours).
The pieces are small, but fit well in the mouth. There are very few voids and the dissolve yields and intense flavor burst. I can't quite tell that it's a Meyer Lemon and not Eureka lemon flavors, but I can say that it's lemony. The raspberry gives it a little more floral note, kissed with a bit of jam. The zest comes out later, and has a lasting bitter bite to it, so much that I kind of felt burned after eating five in succession (that is the serving size).
These are very refreshing, and I find them most useful in situations where I might want to stay alert, like driving or a long meeting. Since they're small, they're quite discreet. I think they're a lovely gift or special occasion item, something to put in a gift basket for a baby shower or housewarming present. I don't see buying these for myself except for extraordinary circumstances.
I would be curious to try spice flavors, though. I don't know if I've seen a chai, or cinnamon in organic before.

Theo Red Hot Cinnamon Love Crunch
Valentine's Day candy is disappointing because it's usually about the packaging. So, I was pleased at Whole Foods when I spotted two limited edition varieties from Theo Chocolate for Valentine's Day ... and on sale at 2 bars for $3 (they're usually $4 each). I've often said that a fine chocolate bar is better than a greeting card and in this case, far cheaper. There's even a "To" and "From" spot on the back of the bar. (But the ideal touch would be to include at least a personalized post it note.)
It's called Theo Red Hot Cinnamon Love Crunch. The description on the back said: The red-hot crunch of cinnamon brittle in smooth, rich, 70% dark chocolate - spicy and sweet.
Sounds amazing: for $1.50, I was getting a unique bar that combined cinnamon and chocolate, that was also fair trade certified, non-GMO, organic, vegan, soy-free, Kosher and made here in the USA. Goodbye, ordinary candy in a heart shaped package! (The other bar I picked up was the milk chocolate My Cherry Baby.)
On the tongue at first it's a little tangy. The melt is a little grainy, I wasn't sure if it was the crunchy bits or not at first, but it seems that some of it is spices. It became apparent very quickly that this was not just a cinnamon and chocolate bar. My bad for not reading the label fully.
Here's the deal: the package is pink, the printing on the back is brown. In full light and my reading glasses, I can read it. But not in the dim light and glassesless state I was in at Whole Foods. (My usual trick when I don't have my glasses and the print is tiny is to take a photo with my phone and then blow it up, but I read the description and thought that was the extent of the flavors.)
The ingredients of interest here are (after you get through the chocolate stuff): cayenne, cinnamon leaf essential oil, black pepper essential oil, nutmeg essential oil and clove essential oil.
I actually like spicy things (curry, cinnamon, black pepper and ginger), but the one I can't do is red pepper. Capsascin is one of those compounds that people experience differently because of genetic differences. For me, cayenne isn't fun, there's a lot of heat that doesn't seem to dissipate and in higher concentrations it just induces nausea. So, I avoid anything other than mild chili items. While there's a proliferation of chili peppers in confection, and for the most part they're tolerable, though not always enjoyable for me.
This was freakishly hot for me. I got the different sensations from the various spices, I could actually discern the difference between the black pepper and the cayenne and the cinnamon. (Clove actually has a bit of a numbing effect.) The cinnamon really only came in at the beginning as a scent. The tangy bite of the chocolate did help to mellow the pepper at first, but once it hit my throat, the one-two punch of black and red pepper was too much. The little brittle crunch pieces were supposed to be cinnamon, and maybe some of them were, but other larger bits seemed flavorless.
I tried this bar twice, eating only one of the large squares each time in small bits. The warming effect from the spices lasts a long time, well over a half an hour. Though it didn't upset my stomach, it really didn't please me either and I don't plan on finishing the bar.
If your loved one is partial to the extremely spicy side of things, this might be a good option, especially if you're looking for something without dairy or soy (the Lindt dark chocolate products contain milk and soy ingredients). The bar is made in a facility that also handles peanuts, wheat, milk, eggs and soy.

Alter Eco Organic Black Truffles
Alter Eco Organic Black Truffles were on sale before Christmas, so I picked up a box to put in the mix for Christmas stockings.
The box is very simple and reminiscent of the Lindt Lindor range of truffles. They're quite similar in many ways. The back of the box notes that this is a classic redefined. Then it goes on to mention the filling is made with nourishing coconut oil. It's no wonder then that I think these are the fattiest fat bombs I've ever reviewed, at 180 calories per ounce (note: I think the Ferrero Raffaello ended up at the same calculation in review, but newer packaging has it down to 170).
The ingredients are 97% fair trade (probably the milk ingredient is keeping it from 100%) and all organic (except for the natural flavors). The cacao is only 58%, which seemed a little paltry for something called black. There's also milk in there, which is disappointing as well, since I thought maybe these were vegan. (The top of the box says "made with pure coconut oil" which I guess is just to distinguish it from Lindt's Lindor line which uses palm kernel oil in addition to coconut.)
There are a lot of little symbols on the back: fair trade certified, non-gmo, organic, gluten free and carbon neutral. There's no soy in there, either, though the chocolates are made on shared equipment with soy, hazelnuts and almonds. They're not kosher (though Lindt Lindor truffle range is.)
They look like Lindor, little chocolate spheres, with a small seam around the center where you can press carefully to separate the sides if you wish. Alter Eco has a little fluting on it. They're glossy dark and smell quite rich.
The Ecuadorian chocolate shell is dreamy smooth. There are lots of berry notes like dark cherries, blackberries and a little hint of coffee and tobacco. There's an acidic finish to the shell, but it's moderated by the filling if you eat them together. (I seemed to end up with more shell than filling at some point, either at the beginning or the end of each piece.)
The center is smooth and varies in texture depending on the temperature. It was quite cold in Los Angeles when I prepared this review, so the centers were very firm and almost fudgy to the bite. (My little candy studio was about 62 degrees.) At a more normal room temperature like 70, the center is like a whipped cream, quite soft to the bite but not flowing. The flavor is a thinned out version of the shell. The milk doesn't do much, it's mostly coconut which doesn't provide any additional flavors here, except to keep the berry flavors muted.
These are very expensive, I think about $7 or $8 a box. I got mine on sale, and think that $5 is about as high as I'd go for a package, even though they're fair trade and all that. The good news is that a couple of stores near me sell these individually, I think for 75 cents each. So, I don't have to commit to a whole box, just a little fix now and then.

Let me start from the beginning. Bacon-loving friend and I decided quite a while ago that we wanted to make a trip up to Minne to
The next morning, Saturday, we woke up at the crack of dawn to make it to our hair appointments (yes, I made hair appointments for us. We were getting everything out of this trip that we could!). I ended up not changing much [surprise, surprise] but Bacon-loving friend added some bangs and a wonderfully rich chocolate brown tint to her hair. Fortunately, she loved the new do and I have to add that it's super cute! Great choice, my dear.
Then, we traveled on over to the cities so I could show off the infamous Salty Tart. Remember this place? It's where I interned a few summers back and really found my love and passion for great baking. I'd already had a huge interest but seeing Michelle work her magic, yet still remaining ridiculously modest, was awe-inspiring. I really can't say enough about this woman, she's touched my life in a way that she'll probably never know. But anywho, I took some pictures of our experience there so I'll be posting those later on. Now back to our Minne adventures!
After a little treat for Bacon-loving friend [I had to make her try something so she could know first hand the delight that is the Salty Tart], we finally made our way to the Mall of America (a.k.a. MOA, as mentioned above). And boy was that place a sight to see! I realized I hadn't been back to Minne, as well as the mall, since last November! Geesh, that's just weird. So needless to say some of the stores had changed but it was still the same ol' mall I know and love. We spent the rest of the day there, walking around every floor and hitting some of the stores on our list. Eventually fatigue got the best of us so we headed home to hang out with the family for the rest of the night.
But don't worry, after a teensy bit of sleep, we were up again on Sunday and out at the mall by 10:30 A.M., prepared to shop 'till we drop! We made our way to some of the stores that we skipped over the previous day and then geared ourselves up to travel across the street to Ikea. If you've ever been to an Ikea store, you know how unbelievably large they are! But that didn't phase us, we walked through the entire building looking at every piece of furniture and knick-knack they made. Bacon-loving friend made a great coffee table purchase and I found a few baking supplies and house decorations. All in all...success!
After a great dinner at a restaurant in Woodbury with my parents, pure exhaustion settled in and we didn't move from the couch the rest of the night. I've always felt like I can hold up pretty well, but Bacon-loving friend definitely showed me up in this department. While sometimes I felt like I couldn't go on, she was raring to go. In the end though I'm glad, we were there for such a short time so there was no room for my baby-ness. No mercy!
Then on Monday, we made the lame-o drive back to Omaha and back to reality. It's always a bummer, that return trip, but I guess I'd rather have a great weekend and suffer through that drive back then not have those couple of days at all. Agreed?
So now let's get to this recipe. I chose Kitchen Sink Cookies, from A Passion for Baking, not only for their addictive nature. No, not the entire reason. But you know that feeling when you may be leaving for the weekend or perhaps returning from a trip, and you have all kinds of left over ingredients in your kitchen? What to do, what to do?! Well, this is a great recipe to use up that odd array of ingredients. I mean really, there's everything in these but the kitchen sink! And what you get from this recipe is MmMmm, goodness! These cookies are soooft, yet chewy, with a crunchiness from the rice cereal, chocolatey yumminess, and caramelized marshmallows. Umm, not one of those things sounds bad to me so there's next to no reason that these cookies aren't ridiculously delish. Yes, delish.
Hope everyone had a lovely Memorial Weekend, by the way! Enjoy these little guys! .
Kitchen Sink Cookies
from A Passion for Baking
1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened
1/2 c. unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1-1/2 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 c. sugar
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1-1/2 c. rolled oats
2 c. crisp rice cereal
1-1/2 c. miniature marshmallows
1/2 c. butterscotch chips
1 c. semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 c. chopped milk chocolate bar
1 c. sweetened shredded coconut
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In mixer bowl, cream softened and melted butter with brown sugar, sugar and vanilla extract. Add eggs, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and blend well. Stir in oats, rice cereal, marshmallows, butterscotch chips, semisweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate pieces, and coconut, to make well blended cookie dough.
- For each cookie, scoop 2 to 3 tablespoons dough and place on baking sheets 2 inches apart.
- Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until set all over (crisp edges and some marshmallows leaking out).
Yield: 36 cookies
*My Notes:
- I used 2 heaping tablespoons of dough for each cookie and packed them together into a cylinder, like I've previously done with other cookies. This made 3 dozen cookies for me, but you can get more or less depending on how much dough is used for each cookie.
- While the cookies are baking, I kept the dough in the fridge so the batter wouldn't get too warm. This prevents the dough from spreading too thin while in the oven and gives you a more plump cookie.
