Finally, Some Results
Yes, it's that time of the month already. Where did my time go? Again??!! I feel as though someone is playing a trick on me, ripping the pages off the daily calendar (does anyone still use those anyway?) way ahead of the current date so that it somehow makes them feel that they are very close to Christmas. Because they are. Hell, we all are. It is already October. Less than 90 days to Christmas. Are you freaking out, because I am.
I know I'm not the only one having trouble adjusting my work life with my blogging life, and borrowing words from my friend Mallory, 'I blog because I want to, not because I have to'.
It's not very often that I'm at a lack for words or stories to embellish my posts with, but I'm going to make this one a short one, and let the photos tell you the rest of the story.
The September 2009 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Steph of A Whisk and a Spoon. She chose the French treat, Vols-au-Vent based on the Puff Pastry recipe by Michel Richard from the cookbook Baking With Julia by Dorie Greenspan.

After our demonstration, I told all our students and instructors that they did great!
But of course, we all made many mistakes, myself most of all. Doing great is one thing. Doing a kata correctly is quite another. We all have a lot to learn and working on ourselves is a never ending process. Karate is always a "work in progress."
Over the last ten years, I have probably told my second son Charles (the head of our dojo) that his arms are held too low about a thousand times... really. I always tell him, "your arms are too low, your arms are too low." Since he is taller than me, I tell him that he cannot copy my arm positions since I am shorter. He has to move according to his size, not mine.
My son never seemed to get it. I know that it is hard to listen to your own father.
But when he watched the video of the demonstration, the first thing he said was, "My arms are too low!" He could see it for himself.
My wife and I had to laugh because I had told him the same thing so many times.
So don't be satisfied if someone tells you that you did great. Critique yourself mercilessly. Observe your errors and correct them. Keep working on yourself! Seek improvement day by day.
And son, see I was right about your arms (smile).

NEWPORT Gwent Dragons have confirmed the signings of Wales stars Lee Byrne and Aled Brew.
Full-back Byrne, 33, has penned a two-year deal and will head to Rodney Parade after a hugely successful spell with Clermont Auvergne.
Winger Brew, 27, has signed a three-year deal to return for a third spell with the Dragons from Biarritz and will look to add his regional record of 43 tries.
"I am excited to be returning to Wales to play again," said 46-times capped Byrne. "I hope to bring my experiences from France back to the Dragons.
"It's no secret that the best fans in Wales are at Rodney Parade and it will be a nice change to have them cheer for me and not jeer for me!
"I am really pleased to be getting the opportunity to work with (director of rugby) Lyn Jones again. I have a lot of respect for him and I'm looking forward to having the chance to be part of developing a competitive Welsh region in the Dragons."
Brew said: "I've really enjoyed my time in France and would like to think I've learned a lot during my time in Biarritz and that I've become a better player because of it.
"I have no regrets at all about my time in French rugby, it's been a fantastic experience but I feel it's the right time to come home for me and my family.
"I always wanted return to the Dragons after France given the chance. And I also still have ambition to play for Wales and to do that, I know I have to play week in, week out and it's something I'm determined to do with the Dragons."
Director of rugby Jones will now press ahead with targets to bolster the Dragons pack but is delighted to have added firepower to his backs.
"I am absolutely delighted to sign someone of Lee's experience and calibre," he said. "He has proved himself in Britain and France as a top quality number 15.
"There are still many in the game who still rate Lee as the best 15 in the UK. It's a significant signing for us who is going to help the growth of our Gwent side whilst helping to develop Hallam Amos as a future Welsh 15.
"Aled has shown a desire to come back to his natural home of Newport Gwent Dragons where he was extremely popular with the supporters in the past and proved to be an excellent try scorer.
"As well as Lee, Aled is a significant signing for the region and we are excited for his return to Gwent. I look forward to seeing him play once again on Rodney Parade."

Love the bike! Love how easy it was to order. But after it came in, the guy on the phone had an attitude, even when I picked it up. Not a very customer friendly salesman. The others I talked to were very helpful. I would recommend this bike to anyone who has back and joint problems.
After 3 knee surgeries on my PCL, I could not ride any bike without discomfort -- until this bike. The pedal position allows me to ride with no knee pain. My quads have developed (to further prevent knee pain), I've lost weight and my blood pressure has decreased.

When I first test rode a Townie, I couldn't tell if I loved it or hated it. I now know I loved it. The ride and dynamic of this cycle is different from a traditional bike. I can tell that it works different muscles than I was used to. My husband and I use our Townie's to ride for exercise and to get places. My only complaint is I wish it came in some of the cool designs other Electra bikes have but that is minor. One of the few challenges we have noticed with the bike is that the flat foot technology does make the whole bike a bit longer than a traditional bike. We only noticed this when we loaded the bike onto our local bus's bike carrier which made us worry that it wouldn't travel securely. It has not had any problems, just the noticeable length. Love the bike! I want to ride it everywhere.

I have been riding off and on for about 24 years. I ride now for fun, fitness, and leisure. This is an excellent bike for this. When I have my endurance built back up I plan on doing some touring with the bike. I believe it will handle this just fine. I really am happy with my purchase.

Bought this bike Spring '13 and wasn't all that sold on it. Once I got used to it, couldn't get off it. Thought about riding everyday! Farthest I rode was 35 miles and even topped 15mph a few times. 45 degree weather and was on it. Neighbor said "You're not giving up that bike." Nope. Put black leather streamers, rack & bag and get a lot of compliments and questions. Did I mention, I love it!

I have had a Trek 7300 for 14 years and have only ridden occasionally because it was hard on my back to be bent over to hold the handlebars, and my hands became numb often. I really like the upright riding posture that this bike features, it makes it a real pleasure to ride. I also liked the styling of this bike. After a couple hours of riding, my behind was a bit sore, but my salesman said that will become less of a problem as I ride more often, and bike shorts will also help. He said the stock seat is actually one of the more comfortable seats. The gears, brakes, and controls work great, but I wish there was a consistency between the front and rear gear controls; for the rear sprocket, you press the control on the right nearest you for easier pedaling, but the front gear control is just the opposite. I guess I'll get used to that, it seems to be the standard. The bike requires some effort to hoist and hang in my garage, I guess it's due to those big tires, but they do give a comfortable ride. All in all, I think this is a great bike and it will give me many years of comfortable riding.

I've used my Townie 21D for commuting to work (6 miles one way) for the last 2 years, April-October. I think it's a fabulous commuting bike. The upright position doesn't lock your head between your shoulders, giving you a wide field of view. The frame geometry lets you stand flat-footed a stoplights and what-have-you. The 2 inch tires will deal with curb jumping and gravel burms. The click shifting requires no attention.I have a townie rack which I use with 2 different Axiom commuter bags, an Electra Headlight, and a post-mounted rear light.My only regret is not getting a Townie with Fenders. My 21D has front shocks, and the after-market Electra fenders don't fit on this. My local bike shop here in Indiana (was able to find a Clip-on BMX style front Fender, which helps a lot in wet weather.Commuting aside, I'm 52, 6'0" and have a bad lumbar disk. Electras have saved my back.

I hope the vet is wrong and it's something that can be taken care of quickly.
I'd also drop that ER a note and thank them, then send the bill back to the other vet and tell them where to stick it.

Hello there! Nothing new here: same shoes, same tights, same dress, same cardigan... All stock basics. I'm afraid it's terribly difficult to present new outfits constantly when you're on a budget.
However unoriginal, I did want to leave you with some new outfit pictures before I hop off to Alice Springs and leave you all with a bit of peace and quiet. Thankyou for reading, and I hope to metaphorically see you in about a week!

|Scared my med will cause other serious issues
Aug 6, 2013
Hi Doc. I can't help but worry that my med may cause other issues. Such as heart problems/ heart disease or having a stroke or something along that nature. I do believe that I've read somewhere that while on art over a long period time that even though ones virus may be undetectable and under control and even have a decent cd4 count. They can develop cancers in their body. Different types of chances. And that inflammation is pretty much a guarantee in the organs whether your undetectable and healthy. Is any of the ultimately truth?
Response from Dr. Young
Hello and thanks for posting.
It's important to bear in mind that when appropriately selected and adhered to, HIV medications prevent illness and death from AIDS. Indeed, the most recent calculations are that for people on ART, a normal life expectancy can be attained.
It also seems like people living with HIV may be at greater risk for certain age-related comorbid illnesses such as cardiovascular disease , cognitive impairment, kidney or bone disease.. Certain cancers, especially viral-related cancers of the cervix, anus and liver also appear to be more common than in the general population. It's also reasonable to note that to a first approximation, the major risk factors of these issues aren't HIV medications, but other environmental or life style factors (like smoking or viral hepatitis). Furthermore, chronic inflammation may be another factor that contributes to risks- another reason why treatment for HIV may be good, as this also reduces inflammation.
No matter what their ultimate cause, it's important to be mindful of risks and appropriate screening for these non-AIDS related illnesses. Many people fail to get generally recommended health- and cancer screenings. For example, colon cancer (colonoscopy) and osteoporosis screening (DEXA scans) are recommended for positives over the age of 50, yet only a minority of people actually receive them.
I hope that's helpful, BY

Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta's decision to rescind restrictions on women in combat is being compared to President Harry Truman's order to end racial segregation in the armed services (which took years to implement) and Congress' vote in 2010 to end the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that allowed for the expulsion of openly gay service members. But in some ways Panetta's decision is even more significant than those earlier actions.
Although regulations excluding women from ground combat units date back only to 1994, the practice long predates those rules and reflects notions about differences between the sexes that until recently were almost universally held across a variety of cultures. Panetta's decision would have been inconceivable had it not been for the larger emancipation women have achieved in the civilian workplace, in access to education and in their personal lives.
It also reflects changes that already have occurred in the military. Politicians routinely refer to the "brave men and women in our armed forces," and for good reason. As Panetta pointed out in announcing the new policy, women now account for 15% of service members. During the last decade, 61 female service members were killed in action in Iraq and 23 were killed by the enemy in Afghanistan. To a great extent, the idea that women have not been involved in combat operations has been a legal fiction. At the same time, the fact that women have been "attached to" or "co-located with" combat units rather than officially assigned to them has made it harder to achieve promotions.

Nanowire: First-Time User Guide
Additional materials available (2)
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
Nanowire is a simulation tool for silicon nanowire FET's in the nanometer regime (diameter <= 5 nm) where quantum effects are important and (channel length <= 10 nm ) where transport is mostly ballistic in nature. The first-time user guide shows how the tool works and offers examples. After going through this guide, one should be able to understand the basic workings of a nanowire and be able to play with the code using different parameter sets. It is assumed that the intended user has basic knowledge of the Non-Equilibrium Greens Function approach (NEGF). If needed, the 659 series of lectures on Quantum Transport would be a good source to consult to understand NEGF.

Hysterosalpingography is a special x-ray using dye to look at the womb (uterus) and fallopian tubes.
Alternative Names
HSG; Uterosalpingography; Hysterogram; Uterotubography
How the test is performed
This test is done in a radiology department. You will lie on a table beneath an x-ray machine. You will place your feet in stirrups, like you do during a pelvic exam. A tool called a speculum is placed into the
After the
How to prepare for the test
Your doctor may give you antibiotics to take before and after the test. This helps prevent infections. You may also be given medicines to take the day of the procedure to help you relax.
The test will often be scheduled a few days or week after you start your period to make sure you are not pregnant. Doing it at this time also reduces the risk for infection.
Tell your doctor or nurse if you have had an allergic reaction to contrast dye before.
You can eat and drink normally before the test.
How the test will feel
You may have some discomfort when the speculum is inserted into the vagina. This is similar to a pelvic exam with a Pap smear.
Some women have cramps during or after the test, like those you may get during your period.
You may have some pain if the dye leaks out of the tubes, or if the tubes are blocked.
Why the test is performed
This test is done to check for blockages in your fallopian tubes or other problems in the womb and tubes. It is often done as part of an infertility examination. It may also be done after you have your tubes tied to confirm that the tubes are fully blocked.
Normal Values
A normal result means everything looks normal. There are no defects.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal results may be due to:
- Developmental disorders of the structures of the uterus or fallopian tubes
- Scar tissue (adhesions) in the uterus or tubes
- Blockage of the fallopian tubes
- Presence of foreign bodies
- Tumors or polyps in the uterus
What the risks are
- Allergic reaction to the contrast
- Endometrial infection (
- Fallopian tube infection (
- Perforation of (poking a hole through) the uterus
Special considerations
This test should not be performed if you have
After the test, report any signs or symptoms of infection to your health care provider immediately. These include foul-smelling

All dependencies are available. It is just a matter of creating a DEB and uploading to PPA.
- https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging
- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide → https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete
There are two videos explaining the basics of packaging using a simple example:
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKLabbXTqMc
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwTp1YnehoI
- See complete list: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Videos
Since Gpredict is fully GNU autotools compliant and does not require any options to be specified, we can build using CDBS.
Using CDBS for Ubuntu packages is very easy, if the software you are packaging can be configured and built using the GNU autoconf tools (the "configure-make-make install" idiom). After adding cdbs to the Build-Depends in debian/control, a basic debian/rules file using CDBS can fit in 2 lines. For a simple C/C++ application with no extra rules, such as hello, debian/rules can look like this:
#!/usr/bin/make -f include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/autotools.mk
That is all you need to build the program! CDBS handles installing and cleaning. You can then use the .install and .info files to tune your package with the usual debhelper functions in the various sections for debian/rules.
Following the video tutorial steps I managed to create both the source (required for the PPA) and a binary .deb.
The binary was created using pbuilder. Before pbuilder is useful it has to be set up:
sudo pbuilder create
Moreover, since goocanvas is in universe it has to be enabled, otherwise it will not be able to resolve the dependency:
sudo pbuilder update --components "main restricted universe multiverse" --override-config
Mac OS X
Build, Bundle, and Integrate, see http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/
Should be able to build as regular Gtk+-based library
- For Mac I only see it via Mac ports. See however this Mac developer site: http://www.opensource.apple.com/ – MacPorts might be an option but I don't really want X11...

SEATTLE – When you think of local music, you probably think of nightclubs, Nirvana or the symphony. You might not think about jobs. Perhaps you should. Local music is a $2.2 billion industry that provides more than 20,000 jobs in Seattle and King County.
To raise awareness of the economic impact of music, the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, along with Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and Councilmember Nick Licata will announce a new "City of Music" partnership tonight at the Triple Door Musicquarium.
"Our local music scene is a key component of attracting and keeping talented people here, which directly helps grow our economy," said Mayor Mike McGinn. "We are excited to have the Seattle Chamber join the City of Music Initiative and shine a spotlight on our local music industry, helping ensure that Seattle is a place where musicians can make a living making music."
"Music is a homegrown industry that we need to celebrate and support," said Bob Donegan, chair of the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and president of Ivar's. "It's sort of like the region's secret sauce. Directly, music creates jobs. Indirectly, it's essential in creating a vibrant and varied arts and cultural scene that helps attract and retain people. And music has increasingly become part of the business model of some of our largest companies."
The partnership formalizes a history of collaboration between the Chamber and Seattle's City of Music Initiative, which began on the Chamber's 2008 InterCity Study Mission to Austin, Texas. The study mission's impact was far reaching, and recently led to the establishment of Sea-Tac Airport's "Experience the City of Music" program, which showcases Northwest musicians to the millions of passengers who travel through the airport each year.
That Austin trip served as a catalyst for the Chamber's support of the City of Music Initiative's launch in 2008, and fueled the formation of the Chamber's new City of Music Task Force. The task force workplan outlines a series of shared goals, metrics and tactics intended to propel Seattle's music community and industry to the forefront of the creative economy by implementing industry promotion strategies, professional development opportunities and by including music industry related issues in the Chamber's advocacy agenda.
"The Seattle Music Commission and our music industry make music a significant contributor to Seattle's reputation as a great city," said Councilmember Licata. "The 'Experience the City of Music' program at Sea Tac Airport and the new City of Music smart phone app will expand upon that reputation."
The City of Music App and Partnership Initiatives The Seattle Chamber and City of Seattle will focus on increased visibility for our local music scene and help connect local businesses to artists. Efforts include an annual music event focused on emerging artists and innovation in music-associated sectors, such as gaming, as well as an event to educate businesses on best practices for incorporating local music into their advertising campaigns and corporate events. The Chamber will also fold music issues into its policy work at the local, state and federal levels. Issues include the alternatives to the state's interpretation of the "Opportunity to Dance" tax, foreign performing artist visa policies, and supporting marriage equality initiatives.
The first feature product of the partnership is a new "City of Music" app. Produced by local app developer, FrontRunner, this new app expands on a music discovery tool launched last January as part of SeaTac Airport's Experience the City of Music initiative. With the new app, local listeners and visitors will have a single source for listening to local music playlists, finding upcoming live shows, and viewing documentary videos about the Northwest music scene. Content is provided by a dozen local outlets, including KEXP, PlayNetwork, Jet City Stream, SSG Music, Rainy Dawg Radio, Seattle Weekly, Seattle Times, 107.7 The END, Sound on the Sound, the Stranger and Sport'n Life Records.
"As a Seattle area based music business, PlayNetwork is committed to promoting local artists on a global front. Having the privilege to work with over 275 national brands in 75+ countries–we take every opportunity to actively promote and introduce our region's vast array of musical talent to the world," said Nadine Zgonc, Client Innovation at PlayNetwork and a Seattle Music Commissioner. "PlayNetwork applauds the city's ongoing awareness efforts as we band together in support of our unique culture with music at our heart and soul. We look forward to continuing to develop innovative ways to connect brands and consumers through music and supporting this exciting partnership."
The Chamber's music initiative underscores the community's desire to champion Seattle as the City of Music through significant investment that goes above and beyond the scope of everyday business. Community-driven efforts will continue to grow the City of Music Initiative, enhance the climate for our music industry, and propel Seattle's leadership role in music throughout the nation and the world.
Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce The Seattle Metropolitan (Seattle Metro) Chamber of Commerce is the largest and most diverse network of influential business leaders in the Puget Sound region. Founded in 1882 by local business leaders, the Chamber today is an independent organization of 2,200 businesses representing a regional workforce of approximately 700,000 people. For more information, visit www.seattlechamber.com.
City of Music Initiative In 2008, the City launched the City of Music initiative to create action that enhances the climate for Seattle's music industry, and propels Seattle's leadership role in music throughout the nation and the world. The initiative brings musicians, audiences, business leaders, educators and politicians together in enthusiastic support of the creative, economic and culture value of music. The initiative is organized into three categories: City of Musicians, City of Live Music and City of Music Business. The most recent endeavor and a highly successful program of the initiative is the Experience The City of Music program at Sea-Tac International Airport. For more information: www.cityofmusic.com.
Seattle Music Commission The 21 member Seattle Music Commission represents a cross section of Seattle's music sector, including a broad range of individuals from the local music community. This Commission is tasked with advising City officials regarding leadership and support in the music arena, and also serving as a forum for City employees and departments to share information on upcoming issues and opportunities of relevance to Seattle's music sector. This Commission strives to enhance the growth and development of Seattle's music sector and convey the City's commitment to the industry, musicians and audience. For more information, visit www.cityofmusic.com/music-commission
City of Seattle - Seattle Jobs Plan Mayor Mike McGinn's vision for next generation economic development that creates a sustainable economy with shared prosperity in Seattle was launched in August 2010. It consists of new and existing policies, programs and investments designed to help create quality jobs, protect the environment, and ensure that taxpayers get true value from the city of Seattle's public investments.

Discussions about club design rarely address the impact of building codes. This is understandable: code compliance is not, in and of itself, a competitive differentiator. All buildings must comply with codes, and all architects are obligated by their state-regulated license to protect the public health and welfare by knowing and complying with applicable building codes. And there are many.
The design and construction of buildings is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the United States. Curiously, until just a few years ago, no building code acknowledged exercise and fitness as specific uses of a building. Even today, the International Building Code (IBC) references nightclub but not athletic club, bowling center but not fitness center, casino floor but not fitness floor, billiard parlor but not group cycle studio, and tennis court but not racquetball court.
For many years, the application of building codes to athletic clubs was largely a guessing game. Now, at long last, the latest edition of the IBC includes exercise room as an occupancy type. However, club designers will, no doubt, still find themselves contesting official code interpretations and needing to explain to code officials how buildings with exercise rooms are really used.
Code compliance influences many aspects of the club environment, but there's a big difference between by-the-book compliance and creative compliance.
Basic planning: Compliance is simple if your floor plan is defined by doors, rooms and corridors, but this type of design generally does not offer an uplifting member experience. In a modern, open, fitness environment, the best way to avoid a code-regulated rat maze is to build no unnecessary walls, install no unnecessary doors and, above all, stay away from anything that looks like a corridor.
Stairways: Codes specify the required number and width of fire exit stairs in multi-level clubs, as well as their construction and finish. They must be enclosed by solid fire-rated walls and doors. Although these stairs provide a usable physical connection between levels, they're not suitable as a primary means of member flow. This is best accomplished by a nicely finished, generously dimensioned and centrally located stair that is free of doors and walls. This type of stair cannot be counted as a required exit stair, but it pays for itself as an enriching upgrade to the member experience.
Doors: Code-compliant doors and hardware can hasten emergency exiting, slow the spread of fire and assist in the containment of smoke. In a burning building, closed fire-rated doors are a good thing. In a busy athletic club, these doors can present a risk of injury when located in a two-way, high-traffic path, such as a locker room entry. In this example, alternative code compliance can be accomplished by installing electro-magnetic hold-opens linked to the fire alarm system or, better yet, making a successful case to the building code official that locker room doors are not required.
Occupant load: Because the authors of building codes are so uninformed about how fitness club spaces are used, codes often require occupant densities at unrealistically high levels. For example, codes may require group exercise studios at 7 or 15 square feet per occupant. If unchallenged, these factors can result in astronomical occupant counts which, in turn, translate to unneeded exit quantity, exit width, plumbing fixture counts, HVAC capacities, etc. Most code officials will consider reasonable arguments related to occupant count and adjust requirements accordingly.
Disabled access: Regulations regarding disabled access go beyond building codes. They're the law of the land, and failure to comply could be considered a federal civil rights violation. Compliance by fitness facilities is somewhat complicated by the unusual accessibility challenges presented by pools, steam rooms, saunas, fitness equipment, etc. You can find the latest federal standards at http://www.ada.gov/.
When it comes to creative compliance, the undisputed champion is Disney World. If their imaginative engineers can maintain code compliance as they safely usher thousands of guests per day through simulated earthquakes, falling elevators and burning buildings, practiced designers of fitness centers should be able to optimize the member experience with creative code compliance.

Supporting Evolution – The Magical FormulaSaturday, August 29th, 2009
At this time most people are too busy with their lives to pay much attention to national or global issues. However, we have already begun to enter the phase of growing global crises. As rising energy and food prices send shocks through the global economy, more and more people will begin to ask questions. As the crises worsen people will increasingly look for alternative political and economic solutions. At this point, if positive solutions and good leaders exist, rapid constructive change is possible.
The situation is similar to that of Europe in the late 1930s. Before the Second World War, people were busy working, fixing up their houses, planning vacations and saving for their children's education and their retirement. There were many warnings that war was coming, but they were dismissed by mainstream politicians. As a result, when war broke out in 1939, it came as a shock to most people.

Chocolate that has bubbles trapped in it. Brands include Nestle Aero, Elite Aerated and Cadbury Wispa.
Tuesday, September 4, 2012
Cadbury Wispa
Aerated chocolate bars are quite popular in Europe. The Nestle Aero holds the top seat but there are others worthy of sampling.
The Cadbury Wispa was introduced in 1981 in the United Kingdom. The Wispa was later reformulated and rebranded as the Cadbury Dairy Milk Bubbly Bar in 2003 (2005 review). Fans of the classic bar clamored for the original, which returned as a regular item in 2008.
The ingredients have nothing special in them that mentions the carbonation (extra nitrogen). It's just the same ingredients as any Cadbury Dairy Milk bar in the UK: milk, sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, dried skimmed milk, vegetable fat, emulsifer (E442), flavouring. It's the vegetable fat that sets it apart in the UK from Australia or the US.
Hershey's recently introduced Air Delight (review) to the US, and wasn't the first to bring aerated chocolate to the masses. It just doesn't go over here in the States. I notice a consistent comment from consumers (even if it is from a minority) is that they think that the candy companies are making cheaper candy by putting air in it. The odd thing is that I don't hear the same thing about marshmallows being filled with air, it's just part of the texture of the product.
The Wispa bar is milky and a tad malty, slightly salty. It's not as sweet or sticky as a traditional Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate slab. The aeration helps it melt quickly, but also gives it a drier feeling on the tongue. Often I find Cadbury to be a very soft bar, but this was more crumbly and less fudgy. The bubbles are smaller and denser than the Nestle Aero and many other bubbled chocolates that I've tried. It's no better or worse as far as texture goes, just a slight difference.
The bar contains dairy and soy. No mention of gluten or any nuts. Some of Cadbury's items are being ethically sourced, including their most popular Dairy Milk Bar in the UK, but the Wispa is not on that list yet. I'm not certain about what kind of vegetable fat is used in the bar, as UK standards don't require listing it specifically, so there's no word on its sustainability.

Hershey's Air Delight Aerated Milk Chocolate
Hershey's has made their biggest debut of a new chocolate product in 10 years. I know this because their press release told me so.
It's their new Air Delight Aerated Milk Chocolate. I've already covered the Air Delight Kisses, which were sent to me by the National Confectioners Association back during The Sweets & Snacks Expo. The bar was supposed to go on sale shortly after that in June nationwide. Believe me, I tried to find it. Southern California may be the first for movie premieres, but we're often the last for candy rollouts. I tried Walgreen's, RiteAid, Target, Ralph's, Gelson's, Von's and CVS. Eventually, by mid June the Kisses showed up at the drug stores, but I still couldn't find the bar. Even more frustrating, the CVS store I was in was advertising the bar on their PA system ... but didn't actually have it in stock.
I finally found it the other night at a different CVS, and on sale (buy 2 and get 1 free).
The package describes the bar as:
Finally, an end to the effort! I bet you didn't think about how much effort it actually was to melt things in your mouth. You know, the opening and closing and then application of heat. All of that is solved with this new chocolate bar ... it's so light, it practically inserts itself into your mouth. Wait, no. No, it doesn't. You apply the exact same effort, except for the possible fact that this bar weighs 1.44 ounces instead of the 1.55 so it is actually a lighter bar.
The bar is thick but also a bit more narrow than the standard Hershey's Milk Chocolate bar. Both bars I picked up were unbroken and unblemished. They have six narrow segments that cleave off easily to reveal the little air bubbles within.
Since the bar is aerated, the snap and bite is softer. It's not that it's melted or anything, it's just quieter or something. It does seem to melt quicker and has a stronger scent (perhaps because of the increased surface area on the exposed surfaces). The flavor is undeniably Hershey's Milk Chocolate. If you don't like the sweet, caramelly and tangy flavor of Hershey's, you're really not going to like this. The fudgy cheesecake flavors are more noticeable now that the texture matches that more closely. It's really filling, I was surprised. I took each section as two bites and took quite a while to eat it. It felt like a lot more chocolate than 1.44 ounces.
As far as the success of Hershey's aerated bar, I'd say they've done a great job. It's exactly what you'd want if you wanted a bubbly Hershey's milk chocolate experience. I found it far too sweet and gave the back of my throat that "acidic burp" feeling. So if you're looking for a satisfying actual chocolate experience, you might want to step up to something a little higher quality. But if you've always wanted a Nestle Aero bar that you can buy at your local store without the import premium, this may be your thing.
This bar was made in Mexico. There's no allergen statement anywhere on it (though it does actually contain dairy and soy, so you know those for sure).

Frey Chocobloc AIR
I mentioned this bar a couple of months ago in a candy tease. It's called Frey Chocobloc AIR and as you might guess from the name, it's an aerated chocolate bar. Frey is a large Swiss chocolate company (I used to see their bars at Target and often at airport duty free shops) but they're not as well known in North America as some others.
Now that I've had the Hershey's Air Delight Kisses, I thought it was a good time to compare it to another newly introduced product.
Frey makes a line of bars called Chocobloc which have a similar format to the Kraft Toblerone bar. They're a long, chunky block that has little divided, angular sections. The regular Chocobloc bars are 100 grams, the aerated AIR bar is only 70 grams. But what's really different about this bar from all the other aerated chocolate out there right now is that this is a milk chocolate bar with honey nougat and almonds. The milk chocolate does have a lot of cocoa content, 34% according to the label.
I know it seems odd to note it, but there are a lot of bubbles in the bar. I'm not calling your attention in this case to the ones in the center, but the edges of the bar, the peaks and corners have a lot of voids. A well molded bar, even one with inclusions will have an even surface.
The bar does feel light and the color is also on the creamy milky side of things. The pieces cleave off easily, much better than some other blocky bars (like the Toblerone). It smells quite milky and a little like malt and honey. There are little hard nougat bits in there, just tiny chips.
The bar melts quickly and has a very strong, sweet flavor to it. There are caramel and honey notes and quite a bit of the powdered dairy taste that Swiss chocolate often has. It's not very chocolatey but still the melt is velvety enough.
As far as its performance as an aerated bar, it was light and did have a bit of a foamy melt with all the air included. About 30% of the mass of an ordinary bar was missing because of the air bubbles. But it also tasted a lot sweeter. Perhaps a dark chocolate version of this would be more to my liking.
The comparison to the other bars I've tried to so far is similar. The texture of this one in particular felt a bit smoother and I liked the notes of honey. But aerated still isn't a trend I'm hopping on. There's really nothing here that's perceptibly better than solid chocolate. If you're looking for something that gives the appearance of more to trick yourself that you're eating lots, well, maybe this will do the trick for you but be warned that ounce for ounce, this is some pretty high calorie stuff. But the sugary flavor couldn't match the satisfaction of slightly bitter, very dark chocolate for me.
(I used a photo from Frey for the package image. In the case of the review bar I received, it was in the Swiss packaging, which is sold there as Mahony Sweet Air - photo.)

Hershey's Kisses Air Delight
Hershey's has come out with dozens of varieties of Kisses over the past ten years or so. They've filled them with Peanut Butter, Cherry Cordial, Caramel and Coconut while others were flavored like Candy Corn and Mint. The new Hershey's Kisses Air Delight are the first I can think of that are less than other Kisses. They're not filled with chocolate, they're filled with little air bubbles.
Aerated chocolate is nothing new, it's actually quite popular in other countries like the United Kingdom where the Cadbury Wispa is popular and Japan where the Nestle Aero bar comes at least a half a dozen seasonal varieties. (Hershey's says that aerated chocolate is a $500 million dollar market segment worldwide.) The new Air Delight line is a first for Hershey's though. In addition to the new Kisses, there's also a bar version which weighs the same as a regular bar (1.44 ounces) but has almost 20% more volume.
The Kisses are molded, but look like virtually all other non-classic Kisses. The foil wrapper is silver with brown dots on it. The little flag says Air Delight. They do actually feel lighter than a regular Kiss. The bite is soft or if you're not a chewer, they do melt much quicker. The flavor isn't quite the regular Hershey's milk chocolate twang, but there are some sour notes in there. It's not quite fudgy, but a little salty and milky. I have to say that just a half a dozen were very satisfying and they go nicely with other snacks like pretzels, nuts or Cheez-its. It's rather smooth, but I wouldn't call it rich. The melt is like a chocolate frosting - a little on the sugary side and not enough chocolate and certainly not enough cocoa butter. But it's candy.
So the chocolate is lighter, because they put air bubbles in there, diluting the chocolate. The same "classic bag" of solid Kisses is 12 ounces. The Kisses Air Delight is 9.4 ounces. A standard portion size (200 calories) is 9 pieces (40 grams). For Air Delight it's 11 pieces (41 grams). So each Air Delight Kiss is approximately 3.64 grams, while a classic Hershey's Kiss is 4.44 grams, or approximately 18% lighter.
I like the idea of having an American version of a style of confection that seems to be available everywhere else. The addition of air does make the melt more pronounced and heighten the flavors. It's also a darn clever way of giving consumer less for the same money. But sometimes we, apparently, want less for our money. The fact that chocolate can hold such a texture is a bit of a marvel, but like many molecular gastronomy novelties, just because you can do something doesn't mean that it's good. I've had my fair share of aerated chocolate products over the years and find that I'm not particularly enamored of them - but since Hershey's pointed out that there's a half a billion dollar market out there for the stuff, I guess it'd be silly of them not to try.
Hershey's marketing information promises that this will be their largest Hershey's Kisses Brand introduction in 5 years (I'm guessing the last was the now defunct Kissables) and the largest Hershey's launch in 10 years. What that means for consumers is a greater likelihood that you'll actually be able to find them in stores, if you're looking for them. The Kisses Air Delight are supposed to be on shelves in early June 2011.

Nestle Tex
Rowntree's created what would be one of the most popular candy bars in the world, the KitKat, in 1935. In the same year they also created the Aero bar. There have been dozens of versions since then even as Nestle's has taken over the brand and spread the bars worldwide.
It's odd then to ponder that there is a mash-up bar of the two that's found in South Africa. The Nestle Tex was launched around 1956 and combines the aerated chocolate of the Aero bar and the crispy filled wafers of the KitKat. I don't know how the bar got the name Tex.
It's a big chunky looking bar. It's over 5.5 inches long and a little under one inch square. The wrapping isn't fancy, just the name of the bar and a satisfyingly accurate cross section of the bar that shows the bubbly chocolate center with a layer of wafers above and below.
The bar smells more like sweetened cereal than a decadent chocolate bar. It's quite light for its size, only 40 grams (1.41 ounces) when you think that a 3 Musketeers bar is 60 grams and has similar volume.
The bar is a little messy to eat. The wafers are crispy but also darn flaky.
The chocolate flavors are disappointing. There's little cocoa flavor or chocolate texture in there. It's not grainy or waxy, but certainly doesn't have a silky smooth melt. The wafers are fun and distinctive, though not quite KitKat-like since they're wider and have a more distinctive cream filling. The Aero layer is lost in the mix, it's light on the chocolate but I didn't really get the same airy melt and bubbly texture because of the fact that I felt obligated to chew the wafers.
Mostly I'm disappointed in the poor quality of the chocolate (it might be mockolate, it's hard to tell which ingredients are the chocolate coating and which are the cream filling in the wafer part). I know Nestle is capable of making better chocolate, and since I bought this as an import, it was $2.00. I could buy some really good chocolate for that.
I could see this bar benefiting from other versions, like dark chocolate and flavors like coffee or orange. As it is, I see it as a middle of the road offering. Certainly unique but not better than the sum of its progenitors.
(I found one note in a book about Rowntree that said that the Tex bar was first introduced in Canada in 1955 around the same time as Coffee Crisp but was a flop.)

Nestle Aero 70% Dark
I found this smart looking bar at Mel & Rose Wine and Liquors a few weeks ago, before it got blisteringly hot and I'm adverse to buying chocolate.
The Nestle Aero line is a fun sort - it's aerated chocolate. That means that air bubbles are trapped in the chocolate, making it light and fluffy, kind of like chocolate pumice. This is rather foreign to us here in the US where aerated chocolate isn't that common. Europe Cadbury has a whole Wispa and Diary Milk Bubby line of products and they're also popular in Israel where Elite makes some bars.
The Aero 70% Cocoa bar was a little more expensive than some of the imports I find, I paid $2 for mine, though in Canada, where these are from, they might be more reasonably priced. It's five inches long and 1/75 inches across making it seem like a large bar. It only weighs 1.41 ounces, which is a great portion for chocolate but at this size it looks large but feels a bit puffy. Well, that's because it is. The wrapping is simple and elegant. There's a lot of info on the bar but they balance it well with the bubbly graphic elements and the matte paper keeps it from being too chaotic.
Inside the foil wrapper, the bar is nicely molded, the shape is great and does a great job of highlighting the bubbly attributes while still making it easy to portion. The bubbles vary in size, but are consistently distributed throughout the bar - no solids spots.
The bite is easy and doesn't flake or crumble. The scent is odd, almost alcoholic - like whiskey with hints of tobacco and cedar. The chocolate flavors are similarly woodsy and rich with just a hint of tannic cherries. The melt is creamy and slick. It's amazing how good this is for a Nestle bar. Like all the best things about Nestle Chocolate Morsels, but even creamier.
The nutrition label was kind of shocking. The reason the melt was so smooth was the level of dreamy cocoa butter in the bar - it has one of the highest calorie counts per ounce of a whole chocolate product: 169. There are 16 grams of fat in here, but also 4 grams of fiber, 21 grams of sugar and finally 3 grams of protein. There's a shocking 35% of the Canadian RDA of iron & 25% of the magnesium. The front of the package also says that there are 500 mg of polyphenols. The ingredients are also simple and easy to understand: cacao mass, sugar, cocoa, cocoa butter, soy lecithin & natural flavor.
I happened to have some of the Bubble Chocolate 60% Dark bar around to compare it to, and the Nestle Aero is surprisingly richer and smoother. I ate the whole bar and would probably buy it again if I saw it - it's my favorite of the aerated bars I've had.

Bubble Chocolate (2010)
Bubble Chocolate was introduced back in 2006 (original review) as the only American brand aerated chocolate. I reviewed it at that time but never saw it widely distributed.
Fast forward four years and Bubble Chocolate has a new look and a new formula. They went all natural (basically went to real vanilla instead of vanillin) and pared down the flavor offerings to just Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate.
The bars are large but not hefty. They come in a box with slanted sides (a severely truncated pyramid) and a nicely texture foil wrapping inside. The bars weigh 2.82 ounces but look far more substantial than that, because, well, there are a lot of bubbles in there.
The Bubble Chocolate Dark Chocolate Bar is 60% cocoa. It's not terribly dark in color or content. The recommended serving is half of the bar, about 200 calories. I admit, it does feel pretty decadent to eat half of the bar and realize that it's no more than a regular weight serving of chocolate.
The smell is kind of odd. It's almost alcoholic, the vanilla notes are that strong. There's also a hint of coconut.
The bite is easy and just slightly crumbly. It's chalky in a way and cool on the tongue, but once it melts it doesn't taste cheap or old. It's just weird. The deep cocoa flavors never quite develop, it's like the chocolate intensity of an unfrosted chocolate cake - soft and pillowy and sure, there's cocoa in there. But the powerful fatty experience of the chocolate is rather lost on me, no rich puddles on the tongue of cocoa butter and cocoa solids.
The Milk Chocolate Bubble Chocolate Bar is much lighter looking but has a lovely gloss and good snap. There are 220 calories per serving in this version, I'm guessing because there's less fiber in there ... its place is taken by sugar.
The bar doesn't smell like much at all, a little like Cocoa Krispies. The texture is similarly light on the tongue and cool as it melts. The flavor is quite milky though not in the European or Swiss style, it's more American. The cocoa flavors are muted and rather bland. There's a little hint of caramel and malt but not much else from the chocolate.
Overall, I don't know how different these are from the initial versions that I tried years ago but I'm just can't get into this stuff. It's smooth and nicely tempered but just not enough of a flavor punch for me. For the price I'd probably go for something else on the same shelf like Green & Black's Peanut Bar or if I'm feeling particular decadent and want to pay a little more, an Amano. For pure fun, the bubbles just don't do anything for me. However, the price on these is comparable to a similar imported Aero or Dairy Milk but with the all natural ingredients it's just a step above.
They're made in Belarus.

Vanilla Beans KitKat & Bitter Orange Aero
KitKat in Japan has been hard at work churning out new limited edition and seasonal flavors. I've been kind of picky about which ones I want to buy and review, so here was one that I was particularly interested in: KitKat Vanilla Beans.
As with all of the premium limited edition KitKats in the single serve size, this comes in a box with two individually wrapped finger pairs.
It's basically a white chocolate KitKat. I picked it up because the ingredients listed real cocoa butter, so this is true white chocolate instead of some partially hydrogenated/tropical oil mess.
It features real flecks of vanilla beans in the coating as well, which I'd hoped would be like the rich bourbon flavors of the Green & Black's White Chocolate bar.
It smells quite milky and sweet, almost cloyingly so. The melt is nice, it does have a good dairy flavor and it's not as sweet as I'd feared. The vanilla flavor is true and well rounded (not single-noted like the nature-identical vanillin).
The wafers balance it all out ... but I think I could have used a little bit of salt in the cream or something to keep it from being throat burningly sugary.
It's not spectacularly better than a regular US white chocolate KitKat, certainly not for the price. In fact for the price per ounce the Green & Black's is a better deal and ethically traded (but you'll have to add your own crispy element). Rating: 6 out of 10
Like the KitKat, Nestle goes through a lot of different limited editions of their popular Aero Bar for Japan. Aeros are available in the UK, Canada and Australia but for some reason have never been introduced in the US. (There was a Nestle chocolate bar called the Choco-Lite back in the 70s-early 80s.)
I've reviewed the Mint and Milk Chocolate Aero before and have a Caramel Aero in my review queue. The UK also has a version of little spheres (about the size of malted milk balls) called Aero Bubbles. I find the UK Aeros at import shops including Cost Plus World Market pretty regularly.
It's the Japanese Aeros that are so fun though, especially since they have these cute little individually wrapped nuggets in the Limited Edition versions. I found these at Mitsuwa Marketplace in Little Tokyo but they're also available online through eBay and JBox. This one is called Aero Bitter Orange and has a companion KitKat bar that came out last year as well. (I tried them but didn't review them. Pretty tasty milk chocolate with a mellow orange cream filling between the wafers.)
I opened the package and sniffed it and thought, "mmm, chocolate and baby aspirin." Yes, it's true. Orange baby aspirin is also bitter.
It lives up to the Aero name. It is a fluffed bite of chocolate. The orange topping is orangy, not in the least tangy or complexly zesty but slightly bitter as promised.
The bubbles in Aero give it an interesting texture, more fudgy than chocolatey, it's still a nice confectionery experience. The box makes them seem like a nicer candy treat than perhaps they actually are, as does the price ($1.99 for 1.76 ounces.) Rating: 7 out of 10

Jose Mourinho's men never looked like losing and put the hosts to the sword with a complete display to bring their deficit to La Liga leaders Barcelona back to eight points
After their disappointing 2-1 loss at Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League midweek, Los Blancos put in a professional performance from start to finish. Gonzalo Higuain opened the scoring with a classy finish after eight minutes, before Cristiano Ronaldo added a second goal in the 22nd minute.
The pair would come to the fore again in the second half, as Higuain slotted home the third with 20 minutes remaining, with Ronaldo drilling home the visitors' fourth goal three minutes later.
Substitute Jose Callejon made it 5-0 with virtually the last kick of the game, as Madrid cruised to victory and moved up to fourth place in the standings, though they still trail leaders Barcelona by eight points.
With Marcelo, Fabio Coentrao and Alvaro Arbeloa all sidelined through injury, Michael Essien was chosen to start at left-back in Jose Mourinho's depleted defence. Joaquin Capparos had no such dilemma, naming an unchanged XI from the side that went down 3-2 away to Sevilla last week.
Madrid, though, needed only eight minutes to take the lead. Angel Di Maria's pass seemed routine for Anderson Conceicao, but the Brazilian allowed the ball to deflect into the box, where Higuain pounced on the loose ball, blasting into the back of the net with the outside of his boot.
Ronaldo also seemed eager to get in on the action early on when he went close with a pair of long-range efforts, the first smothered by Dudu Aouate, while the second flew just over the bar.
Mallorca, though, were not content to lay down and submit to Madrid, and managed to sustain a few spells of pressure in the opposition half. Emilio Nsue came closest for the home side, after he evaded Sergio Ramos on the left and clipped towards the far post, but Iker Casillas was alert to tip over.
Nsue would be made to rue that miss midway through the first half as a breathtaking move saw Madrid race into a two-goal lead. Di Maria worked the ball towards Higuain at the top of the box and the Argentine squared to Ronaldo, who turned swiftly past his marker and drilled into the bottom corner.
Though Mallorca threatened intermittently and created a few half-chances of their own, Madrid were simply flowing on the counterattack, with Mesut Ozil and Luka Modric in fine form.
The home side's tendency to push numbers forward made them especially vulnerable on the break, and Madrid could have probably had a third goal before half-time had they been more ruthless when in sight of Aouate's goal.
Madrid though took the foot off the gas pedal in the second half, and seemed content to hold possession and extinguish any momentum that Mallorca could muster, rather than press forward for a third goal.
There was a little more purpose and intent surrounding Caparros' men when they advanced forward, but chances remained elusive as Madrid's back four were able to hold firm without too much trouble.
And with the clock closing in on 70 minutes, Higuain put the result beyond any doubt, latching on to Ronaldo's through-ball and slotting past Aouate to put the finishing touches on another superb Madrid break.
The visitors would strike another deadly blow on the counter four minutes later, and Higuain would turn provider once more, slipping in Ronaldo with a superb pass, from which the Portuguese drilled straight home.
With only seconds remaining, Callejon rounded off matters with a simple tap-in from Ozil's cut-back, as Madrid finished in style to continue their push up the Liga table after a shoddy start to their title defence.

I was at the Padang on National Day as we were given 5 free tickets. Organized by Young NTUC, we were supposed to form the largest human Singapore flag using the red and white umbrellas.
We were there after 5.30pm and seated at the back, holding the white umbrellas. We were taught the right timing to open and close the umbrellas and forming waves and moving our umbrellas to form patterns. So that when the President arrives and starts to sing the National Anthem, we will open our umbrellas to form the flag and the helicopter (below, top-right) will capture us on the screen/tv. I have to watch the repeat telecast to see how we performed that night. :)

Katy Perry on love
People keep sh-tting on Miley. On Gaga. And Katy Perry, she just skates right through it. Why? Is it because she sings about roaring female empowerment? Is it female empowerment if it's hollow?
"I am not a feminist, but I do believe in the strength of women." – Katy Perry
Katy Perry covers the new GQ. The interview happened around the time she dressed up like a geisha at the Billboard Awards. She was criticised for the cultural insensitivity. But it turns out, culture had nothing to do with it. It was all about LOVE:
"I was thinking about unconditional love, and I was thinking: Geishas are basically, like, the masters of loving unconditionally." She's so earnest, I don't have the heart to point out that in the gamut of human interactions, the courtesan-patron relationship is, um, maybe the most conditional relationship there is
There. The writer had it right there. God she is dumb, isn't she?
But that explains everything about Katy Perry, non? It explains her lyrics, from all her albums, from I Kissed A Girl to Teenage Dream and now…
John Mayer. Does unconditional go both ways with these two?
Why do I feel like I'm constantly being told that the responsibility of the woman is to love unconditionally?

by Adam Westlake / Japan Daily Press / July 16, 2012 /
Despite the scorching heat on Monday, July 16th, more than 170,000 protesters marched through Tokyo's Yoyogi Park to demand the government bring an end to Japan's use of nuclear power. As anti-nuclear protests have been occurring nearly every week since the end of March, this easily marks the largest in the series, as well as one of the largest demonstrations in Japan's history. Recalling the Fukushima nuclear crisis from March 2011, demonstrators shouted in chorus to stop the return to nuclear power, and for Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda to quit his position.
Leading participants at the rally included Kenzaburo Oe, a winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, a renown Japanese musician and composer. One 71 year old evacuee from Fukushima stated his anger at the lack of progress in compensating the victims who have had to abandon their homes, as well as little being done in the decontamination efforts. He added that the people of Japan will not accept a return to nuclear power until the Fukushima case has been completely resolved. Today's protest comes shortly after the first restarted nuclear reactor at the Oi, Fukui Prefecture plant returned to full operation last week, and just before the second reactor begins its activation process later this week.
The nuclear reactor restart was the first since the Fukushima plant was hit by the March 11th tsunami, and it also brought an end to Japan's two-month hiatus on nuclear power. Prime Minister Noda gave his approval to restart the Oi facility, regardless of the rapidly increasing anti-nuclear sentiment among the Japanese people, as well as the independent parliamentary review that determined the Fukushima disaster was essentially man-made and could have been prevented. Yasunari Fujimoto, one of the demonstration's organizers, says that they will continue to protest until the Japanese government understands it is going against the wishes of the people.

Austin and Chatham each saw two homicides in the last week, according to a RedEye analysis of preliminary police data.
In Austin,a 31-year-old man was shot to death Sunday in the 100 block of South Cicero Avenue, police said. One day earlier, a 32-year-old man was fatally shot in the 4800 block of West Ferdinand Street, officials said.
Austin has recorded five homicides so far this year. The West Side community area logged 37 homicides last year, according to RedEye data.
In Chatham, two women, ages 24 and 42, died of sharp-force injuries Feb. 20 in the 8100 block of South Maryland Avenue, according to officials.
