LOL kids...your tooth fairy was very timely. Sometimes in our house it took an entire week for the tooth fairy to come. Just wait until he tries to pull on over on the tooth fairy and put the same tooth out to see if she comes again. I love being a mom too. Enjoy every moment...the good and the bad!

Pistons: Taking what they have learned from their racing teams, Yamaha has redesigned the pistons in the SVHO in addition to now manufacturing them from forged steel. The result has created pistons that are 30% stronger, which will help to increase performance and add to the already excellent reliability.
Supercharger: One of the ways that all watercraft engines have been able to provide higher horsepower is through the use of superchargers and the SVHO is no different. Knowing the potential for this component to be a weak point, Yamaha has redesigned its supercharger, which many considered the best in the market, and made it even better. They have taken another cue from its racing teams and added a seven blade, 86mm impeller with the result of increasing the boost by 22%. This, in conjunction with all of the other changes to this engine, has increased the total boost of the engine by 60%.
Oil Cooler: Because this engine utilizes a wet-sump for the oil system, keeping the oil cool is important for the efficiency as well as the longevity of the engine. Yamaha has redesigned the oil cooler choosing a larger, more efficient design which is able to dissipate heat up to 110% more effectively.
Fuel System: Being able to regulate the amount and flow of fuel into each cylinder is reliant on many factors, one of these being the availability of fuel. The SVHO has larger fuel injectors to ensure better fuel flow. This does not mean the engine will burn more fuel. Fuel burn is dependent on fuel air mixture, how efficiently the fuel was atomized before being injected into the cylinder and the pressure that the system is running on.
Power and Torque: Yamaha has spent years on research and development on its engine design and has taken full advantage of engineering technology and experience from racing. All of these developments comes together in the SVHO to create in an impressive new engine. The team at Yamaha tells us its dyno testing shows the SVHO is delivering 20% more power and torque than its predecessor, the SHO engine.
New Pump: Anyone who has been riding or racing PWCs for many years knows, having a great engine package is only part of the performance equation. Effectively utilizing the power and transferring it to the water is a critical factor. Yamaha has paired the SVHO with an entirely new jet-pump unit for the 2014 FZ Series. The most notable design change is the addition of an 8 vein impeller. Many who ride have been purchasing aftermarket impellers for years, experimenting with all kinds of combinations. Yamaha has optimized the transfer of power by increasing the surface area in contact with the water with five more blades. In addition, they have redesigned the shape and size of the jet-pump and nozzle which now measures 160mm. Just as on the engines of a fighter jet, the shape and size of the jet nozzle has an impact on performance and we fully support this design change.
Intake Grate: Feeding water to the new jet-pump also required great consideration and eventually a new design. Again, inspired by experience on the racing circuit, Yamaha redesigned the intake grate to make it larger with the addition of what Yamaha calls a "top loader" design. Essentially, this is a direction scoop helping to channel the flow of water into the jet-pump unit.
Conclusions: Over the last seven years we have tested every watercraft that Yamaha has brought to the market. We have found them to be well designed, very well built, and perform at or above expectation. As experienced watercraft enthusiasts and owners, we fully agree with the design changes and improvements that Yamaha has made to both the new SVHO engine, the intake and jet-pump unit. When we compare the overall weight of the FZ Series with the new power package, we see an optimum power-to-weight ratio.

Paging Dr Toby,
I was checking my beloved 18m Dyno and found a knot in the 5th line so I went to check the length and measured 460 cm which is fine but then I saw the little tag and it had printed on it, "5th line 470 cm". Hmmmm, is this right so I checked another 18m and it too had a 460 cm line attached and it too had "470 cm" printed tag????
So my question is, can you check your 5th line and see its length, what's printed on it and what is its actual measurement?
Much appriceiated,

Caramel Robin Eggs and Citrus Shortbread Bites
At most coffee houses they have candy at the check out. Starbucks has a pleasant line of little chocolate covered cookie items plus some nuts from time to time plus mints of course.
Peet's is another chain here in the West that I go to a bit more often. I was pleased to see their Easter themed items when I was there last week and picked up two bags, since I had a few co-workers with me and they were curious to try them.
The most beautiful of their assortment was the Peet's Caramel Robin Eggs. They're pastel blue with some small flecks. The bag was $5.95 for 7 ounces, expensive but not much worse than an extravagant drink.
I believe that these are made by Marich, also a California company. They also make an all natural version of these that are sold at Whole Foods as Quail Eggs.
The construction is simple: a soft caramel core is coated in chocolate and then given a beautiful matte shell. The shape is like a chocolate covered almond.
They're just lovely to look at and have a great cool finish on them. If I dissolve them, the matte outside gives way to a slick and cool sugar shell. But I'm mostly a cruncher and found that the shell had a good texture that gave the right balance of crunch and not too much extra sweetness. The inner chocolate was interesting because it had a smoky, coffee flavor to it. The caramel center is chewy but not tacky at all. The flavor was a lot like toffee or maple, which went really well with the chocolate.
They're just excellent, I couldn't have enjoyed them more.
As I was ordering my cappuccino I noticed these. I recognized the Robin Eggs and realized these were Marich. This color reminded me of the Curry Cashews I had at the Fancy Food Show, which used real white chocolate, not some weird oily confectionery coating. From the name, Peet's Citrus Shortbread Bites, they sounded like they might be good.
Like the Robin Eggs, they were also $5.95 for the bag. The bag is simple, the top is sealed but then has a twist tie featuring the little fabric ribbon bow. So, it can be resealed after you've taken a handful out.
The lemon flavored white chocolate is made with plenty of cocoa butter and whole milk. The melt is at first a little tentative, because of the confectioners glaze, but then it does give way very nicely to a soft, citrusy flavor. There's actually a little pop of tartness in there from time time as well. The cookie center is crunchy and less like a shortbread and almost like a biscotti, it's very firm and not as dense as a shortbread usually is.
They're quite refreshing and go really well with cup of tea ... not so much with coffee. I would buy these again. I liked the chunky nuggets and unusual flavor combination for a candy but also the fact that it still used decadent ingredients like real butter in the cookie and cocoa butter in the white chocolate.

Marich Halloween Mellocremes
I've honestly been curious why I don't see all natural or organic Candy Corn this time of year. But here's something pretty close. I found this little container at Whole Foods. They call them Marich Cream Jellybeans but they're really mellocremes or fondant.
They're all natural and come in a delightful variety of colors and shapes. There are bats, crescent moons, witches on brooms, owls and cats. I picked out a mix that was as evenly randomized as I could detect. They came in little box like a take out container, only made of a clear polyester-plastic that's easy to open and close.
The candy was on the expensive side for something that's all sugar, $5.99 a pound (far less expensive than the other mixes that I've picked up). But they were cute and I haven't bought much for Halloween this year because there have been so few new products.
The pieces are about an inch to an inch and a quarter at their longest. Some were particularly flat, like the Witch and Cat, which means that they were a little dryer and firmer than the thick ones like the Crescent Moon. They all stand up on their sides except for the moon, which naturally wants to be curve side down. (I held that one up with a little piece of sticky clay for the photo.)
Cocoa Brown - I hesitate to actually call this chocolate flavored because it doesn't taste at all like chocolate, but cocoa is listed on the ingredients so that appears to be the intention. It's a little woodsy and less sweet than the others. There are notes of honey, toffee, rum and coconut. This flavor also seemed moister than the others, no matter what shape it was, not sticky just not as dry.
Orange - a creamsicle sort of orange flavor, mostly zest but not intense at all. The color and the flavor wasn't that different from the yellow.
Yellow - lemon in the softest and sweetest way possible. Just a hint of lemon peel and maybe a little note of honey.
White - was unflavored, I'd call them a light vanilla. They taste a bit like marshmallows, pretty clean overall but of course sweet.
The texture was a little firmer than Candy Corn, but very smooth with a fast dissolve. They have a strong sheen on them, some more than others. There's a glaze on them (confectioners glaze plus beeswax and carnauba wax) which means that they don't stick together but also don't dissolve immediately.
The owl reminds me of those macrame owls from the seventies.
It's expensive for sugar candy, as I mentioned, but for a small bowl of candy matched to a Halloween or even harvest theme, they're a great choice.
They remind me of carved alabaster or soapstone figures. I can see that these are more sophisticated than brightly colored, strongly flavored kids fare ... but I can also imagine that there are kids out there would would love to play with these like edible chess pieces.
I've complained before that Marich's excessive food colorings in their Easter Mix get in the way of my enjoyment of their holiday novelty candies, so it's great to see that these are not only less expensive than those but also truer in their flavor profile. I'm in love with Marich's all natural and organic lines. I'd still like these to have more intense flavors and maybe more variation (like maple, honey and better cocoa) but I could still pick up the Brach's Halloween Mix for that.

Marich All Natural Holland Mints & Chocolate Jordan Almonds
Last year I picked up the Marich Select Easter Mix. While I thought it was a beautiful assortment what I really wanted for that price was something equally cute but with more chocolate. I've been so pleased with Marich's expansion of their line of all natural and organic panned items, it's also nice to see them doing products more in the novelty area that still fit with that line.
So not only are these new All Natural Holland Mints just the right combo of mint and chocolate, they're also all natural. So my previous complaint about the artificial flavors and their aftertaste messing with the overall experience is gone completely.
Holland Mints go by a few names, depending on who makes them including Dutch Mints and Wedding Mints. They're a simple minty fondant ball covered in dark chocolate then a crisp candy shell.
Honestly, I wouldn't have known that these were all natural if someone didn't tell me. The colors are cool and muted but still vibrant and appealing: magenta, pale blue, pale yellow and white.
The version I had last year had a polished shell, these are a matte version which I actually prefer. They're smooth and cool on the tongue at first. I've mentioned before that these were what I thought the York Pieces should be like. It leaves me to wonder why I'm trying to make something from Hershey's into something else when there's already a product that fits the bill for me (and is priced far better than the York Mints that come in the tins).
I can eat them several ways. Sometimes I let the shell dissolve, then getting a smooth hit of the bittersweet chocolate then a powerful blast of the mint fondant. Other times I cleave the shell off to crunch it up and get to the chocolate quicker. Then there are days where I just feel like chewing the whole morsel up for a crunchy, sweet, chocolately and minty combo.
Marich's All Natural Chocolate Jordan Almonds are what I've always wanted Almond M&Ms to be.
They're a premium nonpareil almond at the center, fresh and perfectly roasted. Then it's covered in truly rich dark chocolate then a crispy candy shell.
They're huge, sometimes twice the size of the Almond M&Ms. They're also beautifully panned and consistent (something that M&Ms haven't been in the past 10 years or so).
Instead of the matte shell of the Holland Mints, these are a polished and shiny shell. The colors seem more intense though they're the same: magenta, yellow, light blue and white. I usually steer away from pink or red candies because of the foul bitter aftertaste of Red Dye #40, but these are all natural so all I taste are almonds, sugar and chocolate.
The chocolate is what stands out here, while it's not a thick layer, it's creamy and smooth without a trace of graininess or chalkiness. Yes these are more expensive than M&Ms, but they're just so much better. I hope these are a year round item from Marich.
I got these half pound samples from The Natural Candy Store but I've also seen them at Whole Foods in the candy case. I haven't seen them in the stand up boxes yet. Though they're all natural there are no statements about other allergens like Wheat/Gluten and they're not Kosher.

Marich Black Heart Licorice
This isn't necessarily Valentine's Day candy, but the shape, goth styled packaging and uncommon flavor might just win over a few hearts.
Marich Confectionery is a California candy maker that specializes in panned items and novelty molded creams and fondants for all holidays. I've recently fallen in love with their extra dark chocolate panned items like 72% Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Cashews and Dark Cacao Nib Toffee (which I've bought twice with the intention of reviewing but ended up eating).
Their new Black Heart Licorice items are all natural and instead of being wheat-based with molasses, these are more of a gumdrop style dense jelly candy.
I picked up my samples from the Fancy Food Show last month. They were showing off two versions: Black Licorice and Black Cherry Licorice.
The package design is nicely done. The six inch stand up box with the cut out window shows off the candy and is no bigger than it needs to be. The tab on the back folds into a little slot and keeps the candy closed and pretty fresh inside its inner cellophane bag. There's a little story on it about a candy maker creating the candy to woo a woman, but I skipped right to the candy. (You can see a snapshot of the ad about it here.)
The Black Heart Black Licorice are darling little matte hearts. They feel a little rubbery, like they're made out of silicone. The scent is only very lightly of anise.
The texture is a smooth and dense chew, a bit firmer than a Dot, but still easy to bite. The flavor is clean and clear - anise with some deeper woodsy licorice. It's not very sweet, in fact, these have a bit of salt in them (75 mg per serving). Though they are colored, it's all natural coloring so there are no strange artificial bitter flavors to get in the way of the real stuff.
They do stick in my teeth a little bit, so that's a distraction. The flavor isn't too strong to mean that I was constantly munching them without getting that overly full or burnt out feeling.
The surprising item for me was the Black Heart Black Cherry Licorice. I didn't even want to take the samples, but figured they were red and would photograph well, I should at least try them. When I read the ingredients, it actually sounded pretty good. Again, all natural so no nasty Red #40 to give me a weird aftertaste ... but there's also licorice root extract in there too. So it's truly red licorice.
They don't smell promising to me, like black cherry flavoring. However, the texture is quite dreamy ... it's silky slick and easy to chew. The flavor is tangy and has a black cherry note to it. It's woodsy and has an actual cherry pie flavor and then just a hint of the bouncy sweetness of licorice. The whole thin isn't too sweet either, again, the benefit of the touch of salt in here. Wow, a cherry candy I actually like, because it actually tastes like cherries. For those who don't like licorice, it's not a bold anise flavor, just a different kind of sweetness that highlights the woodsy notes of the cherry flavors.
I don't know if they're in stores yet, I didn't see them at Whole Foods, which is usually where I pick up Marich candies (though I also see them at Gelson's in Southern California as well). I expect the price to be around $3.50 to $4 per package, so a little steep.

Marich Chocolate Sea Salt Cashews
When on vacation I often pick up candy that fits in the intersection between my candy tastes (pretty broad) and The Man's (not quite as broad but also includes many red flavors). Often we share things like Swedish Fish, Goetze's Caramel Creams, dark chocolate with nuts or gianduia.
On our travels we selected some Marich 72% Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Cashews at the Sweet Offerings shop. Yes, they were expensive at $6.95 for a 4.5 ounce package but they weren't for Candy Blog, they were just for eating. But I enjoyed them so much and was positive that I'd be referring to them again that I needed to review them.
Well, I couldn't find them. Instead I ended up with the pictured Marich Organic Chocolate Sea Salt Cashews which were similarly priced at Whole Foods.
The box seems like a little bit of overpackaging, but they do the job of protecting the candy inside (which is just in a cellophane bag). The box is 9 inches tall and 3 and a half inches at the base ... far larger than a four and a half ounce packet of candy really needs to be. It could easily be two inches shorter and not press on the candy at all. (But maybe they use the same format for a large variety of weights and this is simply efficient.)
Even though they're called a Sea Salt Cashews, the sodium levels are quite responsible. The package says that there are 60 mg in a 40 gram serving (about 1/3 of the package).
First, these cashews are huge ... and then the thick dark chocolate coating is, well, thick. So they're amazingly large. (I would compare them to my thumb, but I don't really want to repeat the photos of my digits & candy.)
The chocolate is dark and slightly bitter, the grassy and clean flavors of the cashews come through with the deep woodsy and coffee notes of the chocolate. Just three or four of them were quite satisfying. They hardly seemed like a sweet treat though. I honestly did a double take with the first few 72% ones I ate - they hardly seemed like candy because they're not sweet. It wasn't the little bit of salt in there that made them seem like they weren't sugary ... it was the fact that they weren't sugary. The salt just brought out the flavors.
Some of the cashews seemed over-toasted, to the point that they were actually a creamy brown color, so they were far crunchier and of course had a darker, breadier flavor. I liked the lighter cashews, personally.
I kept the package from the 72% and a couple of the cashews and found that the non-organic ones were made with a darker chocolate, if that's possible for it to be more savory. (Okay, full confession, that photo includes the packet of cashews from the organic in there, instead of photographing it empty, but believe me, you really can't tell them apart by looking at them.)
These are incredibly tasty, easy to eat and even though the packages are small and expensive, it's easy to be satisfied with only a handful. The ingredients and panning is superb - both packages were fresh & shiny.
Inside the flap on the organic version it says Brown is the new Green. Inside the 72% it says Rich, Dark and Gorgeous Has Never Looked Better.
Unfortunately the last ingredient on the list is resinous glaze, so even though the chocolate contains no dairy products, these aren't vegan. (But they are Kosher.) Another curious note, the 72% dark version contains 20% of your daily RDA of iron! Finally, though I paid the same amount for both versions, Whole Foods is actually cheaper overall - they have the non-organic items for $4.85, which felt kind of like a deal at this point.

Marich Easter Select Mix
As an impulse by at Gelson's (one of the upscale grocery stores in Los Angeles), I picked up this Marich Easter Select Mix.
I thought the packaging was really nice, better than the crunchy stand up bags that I usually see these sorts of mixes in (the current version of the Jelly Belly Easter mix was on the same shelf). The sleeve slips off to reveal the clear box, which opens easily and can be used for serving in casual settings.
It was expensive, though, for a mix of sugar candy (there were three foil covered chocolate eggs).
The package was $6.99 for 12 ounces ($9.32 a pound).
The package describes the contents as A cheery Easter assortment of creams, milk chocolate eggs, mints and jelly eggs..
The colors are bright and pleasant and there is a really nice mix of shiny little candies, I definitely bought these for the looks.
There were only three Foiled Chocolate Eggs in my mix, which was fine with me as I wasn't buying it for the chocolate anyway. I thought the foil was a little dated, but that really didn't matter after I ate one. The chocolate is quite distinctive - very sticky and smooth, strong dairy and malt notes with some caramelized sugar in there ... really tasty. It's a big change from Hershey's or Dove.
The Easter Creams are a fondant, like Candy Corn. They come in a variety of different molds (chickens, rabbits, chicks and decorated eggs) and flavors (lime, lemon, strawberry, vanilla and something called Wildberry).
The creams are very firm and have a bit of a shiny shell on them (a confectionery glaze perhaps?). They don't smell like much. The flavors are mild and exceptionally sweet. The texture is a bit crumbly but ultimately very smooth. I don't know what this wildberry thing is, but it tastes like a cross between violet, bitterness and raspberry. My favorite was actually the lime followed by the vanilla. Lemon was good but far too close to flavorless and strawberry had a bigger pop of flavor but also an artificial color aftertaste for me.
The little Nonpareil Pectin Eggs were quite bright. The little crunchies are a combination of magenta, purple, orange, white and yellow ... quite a riot of colors. Which is too bad, because I'm pretty sure that the colors are what made the crunchies so incredibly bitter. I don't know if there's something going on with my tongue lately or these really are this weird.
The fun part though is the wonderfully smooth & tangy orange jelly inside. It's a very firm and flavorful jelly, almost like a gummi. They brought to mind these gummis I had from Jelly Belly a few years back (that they don't seem to make any longer).
I tried peeling them, but that was simply too much trouble.
Next were the huge Jelly Beans. They're a full one inch long and have a slightly translucent quality to them.
The shell is thin and crisp, beneath that is a consistent grainy layer, then a smooth and light jelly center. The biggest disappointment was the clear one, which was pineapple. For some reason it was horribly bitter on the outside to me. I couldn't figure it out, especially since I kept thinking when I ate them without looking that they were spiky blue (that something about my synesthesia).
The Easter Holland Mints were the only other "chocolate" item in the mix. These were quite bit, bigger than the ones I get from Jelly Belly or Koppers.
The shell is flawless and shiny. It has a nice crunch to it, like an M&M. The dark chocolate beneath that is slightly bitter but otherwise creamy and mellow. The mint center is a soft but dry fondant (that's uselessly colored light green). It's a mild mint and the whole combination is great. There were only four in my mix, so I sadly didn't get to enjoy many of them.
I've been seeing more Marich products in stores lately. I reviewed their Triple Chocolate Toffee a while back. I got a hold of a few handfuls of some of their chocolate items when I was working on a photo shoot for Candy Warehouse. I thought I'd share a few thoughts on those (not a full review):
The almonds in my assortment were huge. Some of these pieces were an inch and a third long.
The almonds at the center are well toasted. The milk chocolate coating is a coffee flavored chocolate. It's a nice combination, the coffee flavor tastes especially authentic (although a bit chalky towards the end, as I think they're using real ground coffee in there).
Dark Chocolate Covered Candied Ginger
These little cubes of ginger have a thick and glossy coating of dark chocolate.
I always enjoy chocolate covered ginger and was frustrated when I bought it at Trader Joe's and the pieces were a bit sticky. These are perfectly sealed in the chocolate shells. The ginger is at once woodsy and warming. The extra sugar balances it all out with some texture and sweetness.
The Raspberry Chocolate Cheesecake was definitely the unique one in the bunch.
It's a real dried raspberry center. Then it's covered in dark chocolate. Then a white chocolate coating with a final veneer of raspberry flavor on that.
The tangy raspberry dusting mixes with the sweet and milky white chocolate to give that cheesecake flavor (or maybe more of a yogurt flavor). The real raspberry center certainly has a pop to it ... and a lot of texture which includes the seeds. The dark chocolate seems to enhance the seedy flavors. This one simply doesn't work for me.
Also on the red side of things were the Pastel Chocolate Cranberries.
The outside is a red-colored white chocolate, then a little layer of chocolate. The center is a dried cranberry.
What I liked about these were how tart and intense the cranberries seemed to be. I eat dried cranberries quite often, but they're usually sweetened. If there were sweetened, it certainly wasn't too much. The tangy chew of the soft and moist berries went well with the otherwise flavorless red shell.
A few other items I tried were a Peanut Butter Caramel that had a caramel ball center, a layer of peanut butter and then a thin chocolate shell dusted in confectionery sugar. The caramel wasn't quite chewy enough for me so all the textures melded together.
I also tried a hard crunchy shell chocolate covered caramel. They looked like quail eggs. I can't quite describe it, it was like a chocolate creme brulee.
They make a Dark Chocolate Covered Toffee Almond, rather similar to the Sconza one I tried a few years ago. The dark chocolate was good quality, nice and buttery. The nuts were well toasted, sometimes it seemed a little too much so though. The toffee was crunchy and crisp.
On the whole, they're an inventive company that makes a lot of really fun products. Most are great quality, I would love to see them decrease the amount of artificial colorings (they do make a line of all-naturals, too).

Short & Sweet: Fancy Food Bites
Last year I ordered some wonderful products from Artisan Sweets which included this Nougat aux Figues: Cuit au Chaudron. I promptly took a photo of the product and then ate it.
Made by Suprem' Nougat G. Savin in Montelimar, France it is much like the Arnaud Soubeyran Montelimar Nougat that I've had previously, meaning it has wonderful lavender honey in it along with a generous embed of almonds. Of course it also has bits of figs in there too, as you might have guessed from the picture and name.
The figs gave the nougat a bit of texture, with the crunchy little seeds and combined well with the musky notes of the lavender honey. It seemed to make the whole thing a little sweeter, but it was a fresh taste. It's expensive stuff, so it's a sometimes-indulgence for me. ($8.00 for 3.52 ounces.)
I picked up these nice sized samples at the Fancy Food Show from K.L. Keller Imports. She also handles the excellent G. Savin nougats
This particular nougat has full macadamias in it. It's a light nougat, it actually felt lighter than many nougats in the hand. The scent was a light vanilla, almost like toasted marshmallows. Wow, the marshmallow comparison was evident once I bit into it. The nougat is fluffy and completely smooth ... there's no hint of sugary grain to it at all.
While I was completely missing any honey notes and macadamias aren't my favorite nut, this was fantastic. Sweet without being sticky or cloying and just the right balance with the neutrality of the macadamias.
Walters is a South African company (which explains the macadamias) and besides these samples and a store I found in the UK online, I don't know where else to get this. I guess I'll just have to keep hitting Keller's booth at the trade shows. Here's a review from Our Adventures in Japan of the Almond variety.
I've been on the prowl for good sources of Caffarel in the United States. Besides picking up those few pieces at The Candy Store in San Francisco and seeing them at trade shows, I'm completely at an impasse on how to find them besides hyping them on Candy Blog in hopes that more shops will carry them.
And why? Their products are good quality and in most cases so freaking cute I want to put a leash on them and buy them squeaky toys.
Above is one of the new items they were showing called Conetto, which is like a teensy Drumstick Ice Cream Cone (warning, sound on that site).
The little confection is about 3 1/2" tall. The waffle cone holds a firm guanduia that is then rolled in little toasted cereal "nuts" with a few little chocolate chips tossed in there. The hazelnut paste is soft enough to bite like ice cream with the added bonus that it doesn't melt. So take your time.
It only weighs .9 ounces, so it's probably not a show-stopper when it comes to calories and since indulgence is partially about appearance, this might be an excellent calorie controlled treat. (Of course the wrapper doesn't say how many calories, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's not more than 150.) Now the only things holding me back are where to get them and how much do they cost?
Another little sample from another hard-to-find Italian chocolatier.
BruCo makes wonderful flavored chocolate bars. I've had their orange one and rum one and thought they were quite nice with an attractive package. Last year at the Fancy Food Show I also tried their spiced chocolate and found it far too spicy for me. This year that had some other items that were definitely to my liking: BruCo Salt Tasting Chocolate, Ciocc'Olio & Cabosse.
Ciocc'Olio: The firm white chocolate center has a quick buttery melt. The taste is not strongly of olives. I was expecting a sort of grassy quality to it, but instead it was more nutty. It was definitely smooth and set off by the equally smooth and slippery melt of the dark chocolate shell.
Cabosse: I wasn't quite sure what this was supposed to be. At first I thought it was a dark chocolate guanduia, but later I thought it was simply a firm ganache with cacao nibs in it. Strong and fruity, this was a nice piece, the perfect size and really attractive.
I also tried a Salt Tasting Chocolate set. I'll probably have a full review of that at a later date. Basically it's two different versions of a salted chocolate in one package. Hooray for variety.
One of the other companies that I see at the trade show a lot is Marich. They're known for their fine panned chocolates, especially their Holland Mints and produced the first gourmet malted milk balls in flavors like Espresso and Peanut Butter.
They're based in Hollister, California (which seems to be a hotbed of panning with other confectioners like Jelly Belly, Sconza and Gimbal's nearby) but seem rather hard to find. Part of it is that they sell in bulk to many shops that repackage the product without reference to the supplier or they end up in bulk bins. In this case I found this little package of their Triple Chocolate Toffee at Ralph's in Glendale after trying them at the All Candy Expo.
They were absurdly expensive considering everything else in that aisle, $2.89 for that handful pictured above. But they are lovely to look at. They smell great too, like burnt sugar.
I didn't know at first if the triple was referring to how much chocolate was on the outside or the fact that there were three different kinds. But suffice to say that either title works, because there is a lot of chocolate on each of these ... a pretty precise proportion that matches well with the chunk of butter toffee at the center. The toffee itself is wonderfully crisp and has that great cleave that very buttery toffee has. A little salty, it balances well with the not-so-dark but also not-too-sweet chocolates.
I'd probably pick these up again, but not at this price. Luckily Marich has a webstore.
Everything here gets an 8 out of 10 but no further specs as I don't know retail prices (unless otherwise noted), calorie profile and often not even the ingredients.

Tutorial : Instructions for Updating the CP300 and CP450
|Populating the card via a Windows Machine
|Populating the card via a Apple Machine
Upgrade via a/c/e/gS Series MFDs:
To use the latest CP300/450 software you are required to have R10 or higher software on your MFD. You cannot place both MFD and Sonar (Cp450C/CP300) software on the same card. Please make sure you have two blank mSD cards. We have also produced a flow diagram which is shown below.
1. Download the latest MFD software and copy it onto uSD card 1. (Please refer to the above section on how to do this). The latest download may include RMK-9 and CP100 R10 software.
2. If you have a CP300 &/or CP450 installed then download the Fish finder software v4.XX and copy it onto uSD card 2. (Please refer to the above section on how to do this). If you do not have a CP300 &/or CP450C installed, then go straight to step 11 below.
- IMPORTANT: If you are updating a CP450C and it is running v2.04 Application or lower, then you need to install v2.01 Upgrade App FIRST before you install the latest Application. (this is not applicable to CP300)
- To install v2.01 Upgrade App, copy Cp450cUpgradeAppV2_01R.pkg onto uSD card 3 with the two rayatom.autorun files. Follow steps 3-7, then continue with the below steps using uSD card 2 starting again from step 3.
3. Back up any Routes/Waypoints/Tracks/System Data that you want to save to a spare uSD card.
4. If you have more than one CP450C/CP300 connected in the network, un-plug the others so that you only upgrade one CP450C/CP300 SONAR at a time.
5. Power down your whole system off from the MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER, then insert uSD card 2 into the MFD and power on the system. (Note: "System" = Power ALL products off, such as MFD & SONAR module - some installations do not have a dedicated Breaker/switch for the SONAR module, but for the below process, the SONAR MUST be power cycled off & on when prompted)
6. Monitor the progress of the fish finder upgrade on the MFD screen. If the progress bar stops/freezes and does not resume after a few minutes, then power the system off and jump back to step 5.
7. When it reports complete on the MFD, remove uSD card 2 and power down your system.
a. If the progress bar on the MFD screen freezes/stops for over 1 minute, then jump back to step 5. If you have already tried this, then contact Product Support for further assistance.
8. Power the system back on and go to the MFD diagnostics page.
9. Check the fish finder is displayed and is showing the latest version (v4.XX)
a. If it is not listed in the diagnostics after 10 minutes and you have tried a second power cycle on the SONAR, then contact Product Support for further assistance.
b. If it is visible in diagnostics but NOT showing the latest application version, then repeat the process once from Step 5. If still does not report v4.XX, then contact Product Support for further assistance.
c. If it has successfully upgraded to v4.XX, continue to step 10.
10. Did you have more than one CP450C or CP300 connected in the system?
a. If Yes - then power down the system, disconnect the recently upgraded SONAR module from the netwrok and re-connect in the previously disconnected SONAR (as detailed in step 4 above). Now repeat steps 5 to 9 above.
b. If No – continue to step 11
11. Power down system and insert uSD card 1 into the MFD
12. Power up the system and monitor the MFD upgrade to R10
13. When complete, remove the uSD card 1 from the MFD and check that the MFD is reporting the latest application version on the "limitations of Use" start up screen.
14. Perform a master reset on the MFD
15. Do you have more than one MFD in the system or do you have a CP100 or RMK-9 in the system?
a. If Yes – continue to step 16
b. If No – jump to Step 21
16. Ensure all MFDs, CP100 and RMK-9 are networked and powered, then re-insert uSd card 1 into the recently upgraded MFD whilst the system is powered on
17. The MFD will automatically detect the files on the uSD card (when you have acknowledged the Limitations of Use screen) and will display a message on screen asking if you want to upgrade your remote devices. This could be a CP100, RMK-9 or other MFDs requiring R10 software on the network.
18. Click "YES" to start the remote upgrade procedure for the remote devices.
19. The Display will show a status bar on the screen as it's upgrading the remote products.
20. Once the MFD states "Update Completed Successfully", remove the uSD Card 1 and reboot the system
21. Enter the MFD diagnostics menu on the Master MFD to check all connected devices are at the latest revisions
22. If installed, it's recommended you perform a reset on the CP450C/CP300 and that any depth offset calibration is checked/re-entered (Remember to check any Internal SONAR and CP100)
Test the CP300/CP450 to ensure it is operating as expected
A printable PDF flow diagram detailing this software upgrade process is available here.
Upgrade via Legacy MFDs (E-classic/C-Wide/E-wide):
Note - You cannot load v3.25 using G-Series. We recommend you use an a/c/e or gS Series MFD to load in the software, before using the CP300 on G-series.
For an example of a remote upgrade via a legacy MFD, see this link: http://www.raymarine.co.uk/knowledgebase/index.cfm?view=5119
But the CP300 does require a specific re-boot process detailed below:
1. Start with both the CP300 and the MFD powered off, but connected together via RayNet/SThs.
2. Load the CP300AppV325R.pkg file along with the autorun.dob file onto a CF card and insert it into the MFD.
3. Power both the MFD & the CP300 on and let the MFD run the "autorun" script from the CF card.
4. Select the v3.25 file from the menu.
Note: When the CP300 is first powered on, it can only be upgraded between ~20-35 seconds. After this time period, it will not accept upgrade files, and a power cycle will have to be performed before a remote upgrade can be carried out. So best to power the MFD on at the same time, or slightly before the CP300 is powered on.
5. Click "Upgrade Remote Unit" and Click "Upgrade Remote Unit on Ethernet" to start the upgrade. If you see no progress bar, and eventually get the data transfer failed message, then simply click "OK" and press the "upgrade remote unit via Ethernet" button again – remember that you can only upgrade the CP300 within the first 20-35 second window after power is applied however!
6. Once the MFD progress bar indicates 100%, remove the CF card from the MFD. (do not be concerned if it reports download failure)
7. You then must power cycle both the CP300 and the MFD in order to finish the installation process. On re-boot, the CP300 will unpack the application file it's just received on SThs and will load it into memory. Whilst doing this, the CP300 will not communicate with the MFD, and so you have to wait about 3 minutes for the CP300 to re-gain communications with the MFD.
8. Once communications is restored, enter the MFD diagnostics menu to check the CP300 revision states v3.25. If the CP300 is not present, then loop back to step 2 (it may be necessary to loop back up to 2 times to see the CP300 in diagnostics – then contact Raymarine).
Note: when viewing the CP300 in the MFD diagnostics menu, it will be displayed as a "DSM300". This is normal. The software version should still report v3.25.
9. It's recommended you perform a reset on the CP300 and that any depth offset calibration is checked.
Test the CP300 to ensure it is operating as expected
Transducer Selection – Important!
When the CP300 is first powered up (straight out the box), it does not have a default Transducer selected, and so will not ping. (unlike the DSM300 which defaulted to the p58/p66)
Enter "Transducer Set-Up" on the MFD and select your connected transducer from the list.
Once you have selected the correct transducer from the list, wait 10 seconds and then power cycle the CP300 again.

Age proved no barrier for a pint-sized fundraiser who has pulled in the pounds for a cause close to her family.
Ella Nichols, who is just five, ran the Derby 3k run with her mum Andrea.
The youngster, from Alfreton, took part in the race to raise the cash for Diabetes UK, after her father, Robert, was diagnosed with the condition five years ago.
Andrea, 37, said: "We are so proud of Ella.
"She ran the race in just over half-an-hour and wasn't even out of breath, which wasn't the same for me.
"We wanted to do something for Diabetes UK, which has helped us as a family to learn to live with diabetes coming into our lives.
"It is something that affects the whole family and Ella wanted to do something for her dad.
"Robert picks up lots of helpful hints and tips from the charity to help manage the condition, particularly from their Twitter account."
The £400 raised by Ella will help Diabetes UK continue to care, campaign and connect with the 3.8 million people in the UK with diabetes.
Robert, was diagnosed at 29 with diabetes. He experienced common symptoms which came on quickly, including being very tired and extremely thirsty.
After a visit to his doctor he was immediately admitted to hospital where he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
People with Type 1 cannot produce insulin. About 10 per cent of people with diabetes have Type 1.
No-one knows exactly what causes it, but it's not to do with being overweight and it isn't currently preventable. Robert has daily injections of insulin.

Other than the NFL playoffs, the new episode of "The Office," and getting caught up on the last three episodes of "Batman: Brave and the Bold" (Batman dies in that show, too!), the most significant piece of on-screen entertainment this week has been the enthralling "Superman III."
I know everyone HATES "Superman III." I can understand why. But I love it.
I forgot how much I love it, until I watched it again this week. Part of it has to do with the fact that "Superman III" was the only superhero movie we actually owned when we were kids. Television's Ryan Callahan can attest to this, but we watched this thing about a dozen times on VHS because (a) we didn't have cable when we were that age, and (b) it was Superman AND Richard Pryor!
Richard Lester hams everything up whenever possible, but Richard Pryor has so many brilliant scenes in "Superman III." Look, the skiing off the skyscraper and landing in the street gag is not funny, but it's the little gestures that make Pryor's Gus Gorman into the fascinating on-screen character that he is. My favorite moment: when Robert Vaughn grabs Pryor by both arms and emphasizes something he just said, and Pryor awkwardly reaches to give Vaughn a little hug because he doesn't seem to know what else to do with his arms. It's a complete Michael Scott moment, and it's hilariously subtle.
And the visual asymmetry in this movie makes it more interesting than the others in the Christopher Reeve series. Superman, in costume, sitting on Lana Lang's floral-patterned couch? Brilliant visual. And it's followed up by sleazy Superman's line when he says "nah, I don't need to rescue that truck."
"Superman: The Movie" NEVER made me believe a man can fly, but "Superman III" made me believe that superheroes can be weird and wonderful (but mostly weird), and I will carry that lesson with me forever.
I also have begun my newest Geek Assignment (TM 2007 Timothy Callahan) with "Doctor Who." Challenged by reader "teatime_brutality" to learn to love the good Doctor, I finally sat down and watched the two most recent episodes of the BBC series. And now I'm becoming a little obsessed. I want to watch more. I want to immerse myself (and those two eps were really, really good), but
Speaking of Doctor Who, besides my weekly stack of comics, a large chunk of "New Teen Titans Archives" Vol. 3 (I just picked up Vol. 4, and remembered that I never read the third one), a Calvin and Hobbes collection I'm reading with my son, I've also just started a novel by Paul Cornell called "British Summertime." I don't know anything about it, but I'm on a Cornell kick, and since I couldn't get my hands on any of his Doctor Who novels in the U.S. (which would have fed into my Geek Assignment and my Cornell crush, but oh well), I picked this one up. I don't know if it's any good, and I probably won't get around to finishing it this week, but if it's worth reading I'm sure I'll blog about it eventually.
What are YOU watching and reading?

Does someone without a CELTA have a chance of teaching and, more specifically, being able to live in Italy without a CELTA if he has a B.A. in English, speaks Italian, and has EFL experience? Back to top MilanTeacherJoined: 08 Mar 2011Posts: 28 Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2011 12:25 pm Post subject: Presuming you are an EU citizen, and have some other sort of TEFL certificate, you should have no problems. There are some schools that require CELTA, but most of them will just want to see some sort of TEFL (even for people who have education degrees which is strange). It is best if the certificate is recognized at least in the area you want to teach. There are some schools that don't require any certification but they usually aren't very good. If you have a good bit of TEFL experience (over a year) that might make up for it though. Back to top rafaellaJoined: 22 Feb 2011Posts: 122 Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2011 8:09 pm Post subject: As Milan Teacher mentioned, where you are from is important. If you have a passport from an EU country, you could be in business. If not, living and teaching in Italy will be extremely difficult. There are many threads on here which discuss this problem. You said that you don't have CELTA, but do you have any type of teaching certificate? Another relevant factor is your previous experience. Experience teaching in a European country will probably count for more than experience in Asia. Timing is important as well. I wouldn't recommend looking for work in Italy at this time of year as pickings are likely to be slim and, even if you do get work, the long summer break is not that far away. Late August/early September would be the best time to start your search and, preferably, by going over there. There is no substitute (in Europe) for turning up in person and demonstrating that you have a professional and pleasant demeanor. You should, of course, take your CV and copies of references from previous teaching positions. The latter will be particularly important if you don't have any formal teaching qualifications. Not having CELTA puts you at a disadvantage, but it is not necessarily the end of your dream. With an EU passport, decent references, relevant experience, combined with turning up in person at the right time of year, it should be possible. Back to top acmurrayJoined: 16 Apr 2007Posts: 21 Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 7:47 pm Post subject: I've got to disagree in part with the teachers before me. I don't know how things are in Rome, Milan, and Florence where the teachers tend to flock, but here in Bologna there is most definitely work--I'm working full time and still have to say no to people asking if I'm available for private lessons. This September my school was scrambling for teachers, and my school has one of the better names in the city. However, it is true that late spring isn't the best time to start because the summer holidays are coming, which means schools closed + private students on vacation. (Though I've found you can make pretty good money from private students in June and July when there aren't many courses available--August is a disaster financially, though.) Come during the very first days of September when schools are just opening and get your name in early. My school doesn't require a CELTA certificate, and it is not a bad school. Some teachers require more training by our didactic director than others, especially for the finer grammatical points (present perfect versus present perfect progressive, anyone?), and having a TEFL/CELTA certificate is definitely a boost over others, but in my opinion having experience and even speaking Italian gives you a bigger boost--many schools in Bologna are Italian-owned and it's an advantage to be able to be able to deal with the soci in their own language--plus I've found that Italians are skeptical of the sole use of L1 in the classroom, especially in beginning classes. On the private student level, a lot of non-advanced private students are much more comfortable taking lessons with you if they can talk business with you (scheduling, payment, etc) in Italian. Anyway, if you don't have a certificate but do have experience and Italian skills, I'd definitely recommend looking off the beaten path (Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan), where the schools can't afford to be picky.

The substantive grammatical knowledge a CELTA could provide me is superfluous (I specifically studied English linguistics). The most benefit it could provide me -- aside from the actual certificate -- is pedagogical training. In terms of experience, I have worked in schools and have taught teachers and students for about a year now with only a few months teaching in Asia.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) November 27, 2012
J. Robert Friedberg, DMD, performs laser dental surgery on patients suffering from advanced stages of gum disease. Using the FDA cleared Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure; Dr. Friedberg is able to provide periodontal disease treatment that is accurate and minimally invasive. Patients no longer need to procrastinate about getting treatment because they fear of going under the scalpel or because they have limited time off of work. The new procedure reduces down time and most patients can return to work or other activities the same day of the procedure.
The LANAP periodontal disease treatment procedure utilizes the patented PerioLase MVP-7 laser, which can differentiate between healthy and diseased gum tissue. It is designed to kill bacteria and remove unhealthy tissue while helping the healthy tissue re-attach to the tooth root. The dentist uses a probe to determine the depth of the periodontal pockets and then adjusts the settings on the laser. The pulsed light removes bad tissue and bacteria in the pocket area and then the dentist can remove plaque that has built up under the gum line.
The remaining gum tissue is compacted against the root of the tooth and stimulated by the laser to clot, which helps it seal against the tooth. At the same time, the bone tissue is stimulated to regenerate. The whole procedure causes little pain or discomfort and removes up to 90 percent of the disease in a single treatment.
Gum disease is prevalent in much of the adult population of America. While the early symptoms may include puffy or red gums, tenderness, sensitivity to cold or heat, and bleeding gums, often these symptoms do not appear and patients may not realize they have the problem. If it is allowed to continue, it can lead to receding gums and bone or tooth loss. In addition, it is connected to major health problems such as heart disease, among others. Periodontal disease treatment is necessary not only to improve dental health but also to maintain all over physical health. More information about gum disease and the LANAP procedure may be found at http://www.houston-perio.com.
J. Robert Friedberg is a periodontist offering patients personalized dental care for Houston, Texas. Dr. Friedberg received his undergraduate education at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia and earned a Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Connecticut where he also completed a three year residency in periodontology. He is part of one percent of dental professionals providing the most recent FDA cleared laser procedure for gum disease and periodontal treatment. To learn more about Dr. Friedberg and his dental services visit his website at http://www.houston-perio.com and call (281) 674-7754.

Have you seen the comparison of this year's flu intensity to previous years? Perhaps it's because the current vaccine is only 70% effective and lots of people didn't get shots.
I got my shot, did you get yours? If not, please do so.
Views: 241
Yes, got mine last October. Wonder if you need another. I also had a Shingles shot and it is only 64% effective but compared to the Shingles, I'll take the 64%.
I think everyone should protect themselves from shingles. I got my immunization several years ago. I knew a woman who lived in excruciating pain from shingles. That motivated me to protect myself.
Yes, my very elderly friend had shingles, too, and died from complications. She was in terrible pain, too.
No flu shot for me. The only time I ever had one (35 years ago), I got the flu that year. Never again. I'll take my chances.
I don't need a flu shot. I went to Cheyenne (leaving my incredibly isolated village) and picked up the flu. So I should be good for this year (if I survive it, which seems uncertain at the moment).
This is nothing compared to the Spanish Flu outbreak (1918-19) where an estimated 10-20% of everyone who caught it died, and was so severe it ended WWI (because the armies were decimated by the flu)
There are different strains of flu going around, and I doubt that having had one flu protects you from the other strains.
You can get prescription antiviral drugs that make the flu less intense and they work best if you take them soon after you've been exposed or symptoms develop.
The flu shot is only about 60% effective this year, but that's a lot better than nothing!
I wear a P100 mask a lot of the time when I'm out in public, because I have a very bad dog allergy. Masks might protect a little against the flu for the person wearing them. But I know the mask only protects me a little from dog dander, so it may not help much with viruses either. But if you have a flu, wearing a mask protects other people from getting it.
No we are not better from the flu. My 102F that ran for two days dropped, and is now rebounding (at 100F). Beth is feeling worse as well.
A few folk around here have noted that this particular flu seems to oft-times have a rebound effect.
Beth and I are planning to go to a party in Omaha (four hundred miles) in five days, but if this doesn't end soon we will be outta luck (and the money we've already spent).
As for the local hospital, I would have trouble going anyway: I went there in April about another matter, and they are now locked in a battle with the VA over payment and threatening to turn me over to collections (in violation of the law).

Or maybe part 3, depending.
Amazon reduced the cost of the Kindle yesterday. It's $40 off, a 10% discount, down to $359 from $399 and that's tempting. I've got some Amazon credits, about $100, and since I could conceivably deduct this as a business expense, review it for the site, I'm very tempted. If I had $200 in credits it would be a no brainer.
I found this very interesting review from a book lover. It mirrors a lot of what I think about the Kindle and how I would use it. This was the first review to talk about how easy it is to hold and read with the device. I'll admit that flipping from left to right with a paperback gets tough on my arms, and at night. I find myself shifting positions every minute or so to read the other page when I'd like to have the ability to keep reading the left side or right side only. It might be nice as well when I'm with a kid or someone and don't have two hands free.
I saw a post from Geekbrief on someone that keeps little around. It struck a chord with me since I have lots of books, so many that the shelves are overflowing, and lots of DVDs as well, but it I could go with less, I would. I like re-reading some at times, the last two years I've re-read perhaps 20-30 books from the shelf, but I'm a content person. I like the content, but I don't need to have them all around. I used to, and perhaps would like a library, but it's an extravangance I don't "need."
The other thing that struck me is on our trip this past weekend, I took 4 books, plus one in the car that is almost done. I found myself looking for books a few times or regretting that I didn't have a particular book with me. I also left one book at home that I wish I'd brought.
I'm getting close, and I'm not sure I'd save a lot waiting until Christmas for the Kindle. I think I'll give it a month to see if I get any more Amazon referrals and make any more $$.

Just a couple of questions:
- Do you know why the free video player does not show/recognize some of my .tts files that works fine in TTS3.10...??
- When you are asked to increase/decrease the restistance during video play, the speed is decreasing and you have to push the 'play' icon to obtain 'normal' speed again.
Is this normal behavior or can it be fixed..?
Best regards and thanks in advance for your kind answer

Impro Theatre Presents JANE AUSTEN UNSCRIPTED, Beginning Today
Impro Theatre (Dan O'Connor, Artistic Director) has announced a return engagement of Jane Austen Unscripted, directed by O'Connor and Paul Rogan, with preview performances beginning tonight, February 8 at the Carrie Hamilton Theatre (upstairs at The Pasadena Playhouse) in Pasadena. The opening night of Jane Austen Unscripted is set for Valentine's Day, Thursday, February 14, at 8:00. Performances will continue through April 14 only.
"Having enjoyed a wonderful run in 2012, we are thrilled to bring Jane Austen Unscripted back to the Carrie Hamilton Theatre, and to share our Valentine's Night opening with LA and Pasadena's huge Austen fan base," said Dan O'Connor, Impro Theatre Artistic Director.
Jane Austin Unscripted is a completely improvised comedic play in the style of beloved author Jane Austen. The cast of Impro Theatre creates and performs a never before seen, all new, Jane Austen story right before the audience's eyes. The entire performance is based on audience suggestion, so every show is totally unique. The essence of Austen's beloved, timeless romantic comedies and social satires is brought to life by the expert team of funny and gifted actors that are Impro Theatre.
The cast is a rotating ensemble, including (in alphabetical order) Impro company members Tracy Burns, Kari Coleman, Lisa Fredrickson, Brian Jones, Stephen Kearin, Lauren Lewis, Brian Lohmann, Nick Massouh, Jo McGinley, Dan O'Connor, Edi Patterson, Paul Rogan, Michele Spears, and Floyd Van Buskirk. The Jane Austen Unscripted cast will also feature guest artists, including (in alphabetical order) Josh Dean, Kelly Holden, Rebecca Lowman, Mike Rock, and Patty Wortham. Set and costume design are by Sandra Burns, and lighting design is by Leigh Allen. Dan O'Connor produces for Impro Theatre.
Impro Theatre is an Unscripted Repertory Company that has brought innovative, unscripted theatre to Los Angeles and the world. The company's goal is to take core narrative and style elements of great playwrights and writers, and create a new play using no more than the essence of an author's work and an audience suggestion. Most recently, unscripted explorations of great literary figures has included Shakespeare, Dickens, Stephen Sondheim, and Tennessee Williams. For more, visit www.ImproTheatre.com.
Critical reaction for Impro Theatre's work has included the following praise: "First rate comedians ... breathtaking wit" (LA Weekly); "Quite unbelievable, actually ... an amazing comedy troupe spins an entire play into comedy gold right before your eyes ... a stunning feat of performance" (Los Angeles Times); "Ingenuity, imagination, and hilarity ... improv artists at the top of their field ... must-see theatre" (StageSceneLA.com); and "Comic gold ... a delectably smart, tasty treat" (San Diego News Network).
Jane Austen Unscripted will play three preview performances tonight, February 8 at 8pm, Saturday, February 9 at 8pm, and Sunday, February 10 at 4pm. Opening night is set for Thursday, February 14 at 8:00, and will include a post-performance champagne reception. The regular running schedule is Friday and Saturday at 8pm, and Sunday at 4pm, through April 14 only. Tickets are $20 for previews, and $25 for regular performances (student and senior discounts are available). Tickets are on sale now and may be purchased online at www.PasadenaPlayhouse.org, or by calling (626) 356-7529.
The Carrie Hamilton Theatre is located upstairs at The Pasadena Playhouse, 39 S. El Molino Avenue, in Pasadena, 91101.

According to some propaganda I recently read--and that's a lot more likely to be representative of modern Christian thought, it being what they themselves use to try to rope more people in and all--the sin isn't the same "original sin" stuff that, y'know, is called "original sin". It's a vague, un-detailed sinfulness the origin and nature of which remains ever distant in their explanations. It's just some vague thing like "Man is sinful by nature. Only by accepting Christ can you achieve salvation." Basically, they think of sin like sweat or dead skin cells--your body (or soul, I guess, in this case) just naturally produces it--and they try to sell Jesus et al. as a sort of spiritual shower.
There are entire swaths of Christianity that affirm that a believer only needs--at most--half (the second half) of Bible to "be a christian"--no Adam-and-Eve-originated original sin needed. I agree, naturally, that this explanation is batshit crazy, but, hell, so is the one with "original sin" in it.
The problem is only between dogmatic christians and evolution. The consistently-made objection to evolution by creationists is that it stands in opposition to their sacred scriptures. They see it as being part of a super-global (usually Satan-originated) conspiracy to just be a dick to god by disagreeing with His WordTM.
The whole concept of infinite time before the start of the universe is flawed as proved by Einstein. He discovered that time is connected to space as a single concept which he called Space Time. So before the start of the universe, there was no space and therefore by default, no time. Difficult to get your head around because we as humans live and think in a linear fashion to the extent that to try and imagine 'No Time' is almost impossible.
So if there was no time before the beginning of the Universe, then any creator that exists in time (infinite or otherwise) would have to have instantly appeared to create the universe at the exact moment that the universe (space time) began. This obviously does not make any sense at all because if the creator appeared or 'began' at a specific point in time (namely the very first instant), who or what instigated the 'beginning' of the creator? Who created the creator?

Orlando_cardoso needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 83 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
Tech Challenge
The Tech Challenge is an Intuit wide contest focusing energy on the key aspects of a highly relevant, tech paradigm shift. Teams of employees will band together across the company to compete for fabulous prizes.
This first Tech Challenge will focus on developing Apps for the iPad. Subsequent challenges could focus on Android, Mobile Development, Data, Gaming, whatever.
I'm an engineer who somehow convinced our company to do this.
The logo should primarily appeal to the 1000+ engineers and designers at Intuit. It should secondarily appeal to the rest of Intuit.. managers, support folks, etc.
Important Note: The Challenge will be issued November 17th. If possible, I'd like to settle on a winner by mid day Monday. Sorry for the last minute nature... someone bailed on me.
I'm looking for a logo that is cool-technical, but not specific to a particular technology. For this first challenge we're playing with a Matrix theme for the call to action (see attachment), but we want the logo to be reusable for future challenges. In other words, as cool as it would be, the logo shouldn't be Matrix-like.
The only requirement is that it needs to say "Tech Challenge". Otherwise you have complete artistic freedom.
Space wise it will live on our website(see attachment), but could also go on tshirts and posters. It will be a sister to our Tech-Forum, see attachment for that logo. The Tech-Forum logo does change year over year, so don't worry too much about being consistent with it.
Cool tech images that might be inspiring:

NEWARK, N.J. — It's XL vs. XL in the XLVIII.
For the first time since 1990, the NFL's top-ranked offense is pitted against the No. 1 defense. It's a big deal because the receivers and defensive backs are a big deal. Peyton Manning is a magnet for attention, but somebody had to catch his passes. He had four receivers reach double figures in scores. His receivers don't have a nifty nickname — System of a (Touch)down, perhaps — but it's the only thing missing. No defense has completely stopped the Broncos this season.
The Seattle Seahawks embrace the challenge. They are built back to front, relying on their "Legion of Boom" secondary to spoil Manning's going to a Disney World ending. They are built to do it with their size at cornerback and safety and their thirst for violence.
Their secondary averages 6-foot-1, 214 pounds, and has a cornerback in Richard Sherman whose arms are like branches. The Seahawks led the league in nearly every pass defensive statistic, and stamped it with a snarl.
"We are going to hit from the beginning to the end," said safety Kam Chancellor. "It's not just one moment. That's our thing. That's our team."
The longer Chancellor talked Tuesday, the more he sounded like a boxer. The Seahawks don't major in nuance. Led by defensive backs who like to mug receivers, Seattle would rather punch their opponents in the face rather than trick them with a disguised coverage. They know how good the Broncos' receivers are. Their concern is the man in the mirror, not the Manning in the backfield.
"I don't want to slide into no trouble or nothing like that, but it's all about us. I don't really put anybody on the same plane or whatever. I don't want to take it out of context. But it's all about us, and we know what we have to do to win," safety Earl Thomas said. "We know how to win. We're going to run and hit and have fun."
The Broncos' receivers aren't exactly in the fetal position. This group has made fools of teams all season. And they didn't do it by running past guys. The Broncos' Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Wes Welker and Julius Thomas average 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds. They won't be looking to duck out of bounds on Sunday at MetLife Stadium,
"We have to match their intensity," said tight end Julius Thomas. "You can't come out and get pushed around. That's not something you can do if you want to win a football game."
Added Demaryius Thomas: "I like the matchup. I am a big guy. I like the physical play."
The Seahawks offer an interesting challenge. They can use Sherman and Byron Maxwell, their cornerbacks, to jam Demaryius Thomas and Decker at the line of scrimmage. And, with their hybrid scheme, the Seahawks can release their corners from man coverage into a zone, something few teams dare to even try. However, the Broncos are so dynamic, they can use alignments — and, of course, Manning audibles — to counter the Seahawks' size at the line. Earl Thomas expects the Broncos to use bunch formations or overload one side of the field, creating a potential mismatch with nickel back Walter Thurmond, who could end up covering the 250-pound Julius Thomas.
That's where safety help could arrive. The Seahawks led the NFL in takeaways, and will seek big hits.
"In the back end, they make plays and they get after receivers," Decker said. "We've got to make sure that we break, we hedge, we bring physicality to this game because that's what it's going to take to have success."
Quarterbacks were never more miserable than against Seattle this season, compiling a league-worst 63.4 passer rating. But the Seahawks never faced the likes of Manning and his weapons.
The teams have spent the past nine days working out scenarios to stop each other. In the end, this will be less about scheme and more about size. A Kaboom offense against Legion of Doom ballhawks.
"They are a group that's competitive, and smart, and physical," Chancellor said. "But we aren't going to change who we are. We are going to do what we do and bring the boom."

So happy to present this 360 degree virtual panorama .. was easy to shoot and to stitch .. shot with Nikon D90 @ Tokina Fisheye 10-17mm lens @ Manfrotto SPH Panoramic Head.
James Prinsep Memorial named in honor of the Anglo-Indian scholar and mint assayer James Prinsep on Prinsep Ghat, overlooked by magnificent Vidyasagar Setu. James Prinsep was famous for deciphering the inscriptions of Ashoka, was designed by W. Fitzgerald and constructed in 1843.
The monument rich in Greek and Gothic inlays, was restored by the state's public works department in November 2001 and has since been well-maintained.
Prinsep Ghat is one of the oldest recreational spots of Kolkata and people come here in evenings on weekends to have stroll along the bank, with many food-stalls selling variety of road-side foods. People can also have a ride in the river on the boats.

Let's start with our lettuce choices. We now feature three different types of lettuce every single day. Choose from mixed greens, or alternating spinach, Romaine, and spring mix.
We've also added:
- Dried Cranberries
- Mandarin Oranges
- Pasta
- Corn & Black Bean Salsa
- Combination of red and green peppers (fresh from local farms, in season)
You can also enjoy our new homemade prepared salads that will be rotated throughout the week.
Waldorf Salad (Sundays) – First presented at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in 1893, this salad is made form apples, grapes, walnuts, celery, and mayonnaise.
Couscous & Black Bean Salad (Mondays) - A staple in Mediterranean diets; coarsely ground semolina wheat pasta formed into tiny pasta "grains". Tossed with fresh diced tomatoes, black beans, peppers, and citrus lime vinaigrette.
Tomato & Cucumber Salad (Tuesdays) - Fresh local tomatoes and crisp cucumbers tossed in Italian dressing.
Grilled Fresh Marinated Vegetables (Wednesdays) – Zucchini, mushrooms, and onions all sliced, marinated, and chargrilled to perfection.
Couscous Salad (Thursdays) – A staple in Mediterranean diets; coarsely ground semolina wheat pasta formed into tiny pasta "grains". Tossed with roasted sweet potatoes, garbanzo beans, red peppers and raisins.
Macaroni Salad (Fridays) – A classic salad sure to be a favorite!
Potato Salad (Saturdays) – Just like Grandma's Fourth of July salad…made fresh every day!
And as always, we have an abundance of fresh hand-cut fruit, homemade soups, and housemade breads on our bar. Are you hungry yet?

Designed by Calgary based design studio Wax, these cards for a small business bookkeeper are quite possibly the smallest thing we've ever produced. Measuring out at a compact 1″ x .6," the cards were so petit we were unable to trim these down using our paper cutter (there simply wasn't anywhere to hold onto them) so a custom made 8up die was used. Printed on Crane Lettra Flo White 220c with one ink on both sides.
We photographed them with some firecrackers we had laying around the studio (what? don't you have firecrackers on your desk?) to give you a better sense of their size.
