Hot Tamales Licorice Bites
Hot Tamales are a simple candy, they're just cinnamon flavored jelly beans, in a long rod shape. Cinnamon candies aren't always easy to find, so it's nice that they're pretty cheap, too.
The newest brand extension for Hot Tamales, made by Just Born (the company that also makes Peeps and Mike and Ike) are Hot Tamales Licorice Bites. The concept of cinnamon flavored licorice is not new, Twizzlers has had them on and off over the years, and smaller companies like Kenny's Licorice have also sold cinnamon licorice twists. However, as far as I know, Hot Tamales Licorice Bites are the only cinnamon licorice in stores now.
Since they came out, I've picked up three bags. So, consider this your review spoiler that I like these.
The format is very simple, they're little licorice nibs, like stubby slices of thick licorice twists. There's a little hole in the center.
The texture is very similar to Twizzlers. It's' rubbery and crumbly and not really like anything considered food.
The cinnamon flavor is pleasantly warm with a little sizzle to it at times, like a zap from a static charge. They do tend to stick my teeth ... and the smell of them will contaminate any other food stuffs nearby. But I found them rather addictive. They're not terribly sweet (in fact there's 100 mg of sodium in each serving) and since they're made from wheat flour, they're also a bit more satisfying than straight sugar candy like the regular Hot Tamales.
These are a nice addition to the Hot Tamales line, similarly easy to eat and share. I hope they stick around.

Ritter Sport Vanilla Chai Latte
Ritter Sport has introduced seasonal varieties for the past five years or so (or at least that I've been able to get a hold of). The newest set for Winter include a new version called Ritter Sport Vanilla Chai Latte.
The description on the English label on the back says that it's milk chocolate filled with vanilla cream, spices and black tea extract.
The ingredients are actually a little less creamy and a bit more oily:
Like other Ritter Sport cream filled bars, this one clocks in at 164 calories per ounce, which definitely on the high side, especially when it has 9 grams of saturated fat per a 38 gram serving.
It smells a bit like a pumpkin cheesecake. There's a spice note, which is pleasant but not terribly distinct, just some generic nutmeg, clove and cinnamon. I've actually had my fair share of spiced chai over the years, so I know that the spices vary quite a bit. But they're not that dissimilar to Pumpkin Spice or Gingerbread Spices. What sets it apart here is the black tea extract. Or at least it should.
The milk chocolate bar is very sweet, the chocolate part is milky and creamy but not at all intense, it's quite overpowered by the spices in the cream. The filling is a little more fudgy and thick, but not at all grainy or oily. The black tea part gives a little tannic note, but mostly the flavors are nutmeg and clove with maybe a little allspice.
It's an interesting bar because of the warming spices and the cream filling, but I've mentioned before that I don't think that the cream bars that Ritter makes are their strongest item. The flavoring overpowers the chocolate experience, which is usually very good for the price point (much better than Toblerone). I'll pass on this one if it comes back again next winter.

Milk Chocolate M&Ms Pumpkin Spice Latte
There are two new flavors of M&Ms out for fall this year. M&Ms Milk Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Latte is a Target exclusive and M&Ms Milk Chocolate Pecan Pie is a Walmart exclusive.
I picked up the Pumpkin Spice Latte, though I admit I was a little confused about how different this was from the Pumpkin Spice Milk Chocolate M&Ms from 2013.
It's always a little odd to pick up "seasonal" items when I live in Los Angeles. The package here shows the brown M&M all bundled up with steamy drink. It was 96 degrees in the shade when I got back to my car with the purchase (it's also hot in a lot of other places around the country, it was still August when these hit the shelves).
The pieces are large, as all of the specialty flavors lately have turned out to be. They come in orange, cream and dark brown. (The earlier 2013 Pumpkin Spice were orange, green and dark brown.)
The ingredients list no specifics about the flavors, there are no lists of spices and definitely no actual pumpkin or coffee. What I expected to be different about this variety is more of the latte beverage experience. So, I'm hoping for creamy milk notes, maybe some espresso and of course the spice mix known as pumpkin.
The flavor combination here is immediately cinnamon with a touch of coffee and chocolate. The spices are warm, but not very evenly balanced, it's almost all cinnamon and not much in the way of nutmeg or ginger. The coffee notes keep it from being as sweet as some others, though it's a little inconsistent. The chocolate itself is grainy and not terribly creamy. In general the chocolate quality on M&Ms is disappointing as a chocolate item, but fine as a candy.
I'm a little confused how this whole coffee craze can come about and there are no coffee M&Ms, but some how a beverage that includes coffee can actually get the M&M treatment.

Brach's Spiced Jelly Bird Eggs
When I was very little, as far as I knew, Jelly Beans came in a scant few flavors and they were basically the same as Spice Drops. Later Jelly Belly came along and revolutionized jelly beans by trying to make everything into a flavor at least once.
Brach's now calls their fruit blend of Jelly Bird Eggs their Classic Flavors, and they call what were, for about 100 years the classic flavors simply Spiced. I guess when a couple of generations grow up with fruity jelly beans, that happens. Now, I might complain that things have changed over the years, and a pound of coffee is no longer a pound of coffee ... but this bag is actually a pound of jelly beans. For only $2.49 ... not a bad deal overall ... if they're any good.
Nowhere on the bag does it go beyond that name to describe what the flavors actually are. It appears there are six flavors.
I'll start with Green which is epitome of a Spearmint jelly bean. It's like a jelly bean version of Spearmint Leaves. The shell is grainy and far too sweet, but the center has a lot of fresh spearmint flavor, with little pops of extra flavor now and then. Very refreshing. I picked these out of the bag and ate them first.
Black is Licorice, which is not surprising to anyone who's ever had jelly beans. The flavor is strongly anise, crisp and sweet but with a little bitter edge that I think may come from the artificial colors. I liked them, they were good but there were far fewer blacks than any other color in the bag.
White is Peppermint but a rather mild mint. As much as I like peppermint, it simply doesn't go very well here. It's weak and watery, kind of like a peppermint tea instead of a peppermint candy. Still, I didn't avoid them and I enjoyed the fact that they didn't have any colorings in them.
Orange is Orange Spice. I think it's spiced orange, because it's not Orange Slice orange, there's a note of cinnamon and clove to the shell, but the center is orange. These irritated me, because I wanted a zesty Jelly Bird Egg equivalent of the Orange Slice. However, I applaud them for making an orange that was actually in keeping with the spice theme.
Pink is Wintergreen. I love wintergreen and these were pretty good, aromatic and medicinal but with a bitter finish.
Purple is Clove. I don't care for clove as a candy flavor or spice, so I'll pass on this one. It was strong and well rounded, with both aromatic notes and the bitterness that I'm never sure is coming from the flavorings or the colorings.
Red is Cinnamon. I like cinnamon a lot and I eat plenty of Hot Tamales. These were spicy and sweet, a good balance, especially since it seemed to come from the jelly center, not just the sugary shell.
On the whole, they're an acceptable blend of flavors, just what I expected. I wish the sugar shell wasn't quite so grainy and sweet, but the jelly center is actually rather smooth. The contain no pectin, they're only jelled with corn starch.
The beans were made in Mexico. They have a beeswax and confectioners glaze on them, so most vegans would not eat these. Jelly Bird Eggs are made in a facility that also uses milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soy.

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

Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Spiced Almond
I've reviewed a couple of the new Ghirardelli panned chocolate items, but up until now they've been pretty standard items. I was intrigued enough with the description of the new Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Spiced Almond to pick them up.
The perfect snack to satisfy your craving for crunchy nuts and smooth chocolate ... with a little spice.
I liked the package. It's very easy to understand, the images on the front and back are appealing, clear and not too fussy. But mostly I appreciated that the nutrition label and ingredients are easy to read. The ingredients list the allergens in bold, as well as noting them at the end of the list and it was all in a typeface that was large enough for me to read without glasses.
The ingredients are pretty clean with no artificial flavors or colors. They even helpfully list out what the spices are: cinnamon, allspice and cayenne. Instead of just mixing the spices into the chocolate to create something slightly gritty, Ghirirdelli instead made a spiced toffee glaze for the almonds before panning them in chocolate.
These remind me of the Lindt Holiday Almonds that come out seasonally, but are also coated with powdered sugar.
The almonds are big and glossy. They don't smell of spice, just a light sweet dairy note. They have a great crunch if you bite them. The glaze is crispy and the almond are tougher and have a substantial crunch. The chocolate is soft and combines readily with the elements. It's all a bit sweet, even with the neutral almonds to balance it out. The glaze has a generous touch of the spices, with quite a bit of cayenne that builds up slowly until there's a light burn after about five or six.
I didn't care for the how sweet they were, maybe I just wanted a smidge of salt in them or a darker milk chocolate. But they are less sweet than the Lindt sister confection, so I'll take that as progress. I have to say that if this trend of mixing the textures of a glazed nut with chocolate takes off, there are a lot of variations that could be quite delectable. The best that I'd tried to date would be the Sconza 70% Toffee Almonds.
Ghirardelli is owned by Lindt & Sprungli. They don't have a lot on their website about the sourcing of their cacao except for a statement that they're in compliance with the California transparency act and then point you to the Lindt policies. Now that Lindt owns Russell Stover, they're the third largest chocolate company in the United States, and will probably have a lot more clout when it comes to insisting on transparency and certification within their supply chain for all ingredients.

PUR Sugarless Gum - Coolmint & Cinnamon
I'm a bit of a picky chewer, when it comes to gum. Part of it may be that I'm just such a minority in my tastes that it's not profitable to make the kind of gum I might like.
I mostly chew gum made with sugar, not because I necessarily want sugar in my gum, but because it's so hard to find sugar free gum that's not made with artificial sweeteners like aspartame (NutraSweet), sucralose (Splenda), acesulfame potassium (AceK) and saccharine. It's very rare to find a gum like the PUR line that is sugarless but also made only with xylitol, which is a sugar alcohol. Xylitol has been around for years and is often used in sugar free mints and gums, though usually in combination with artificial sweeteners. It has a light ans sweet note to it, but like most sugar alcohols, it also has an odd cooling effect on the tongue (which is usually a desirable feature for mints).
The PUR Gum is is gluten free, nut free, dairy free, vegan and free of GMO ingredients. I've tried the other flavors that were introduced when the gum line launched about three years ago: Peppermint, Spearmint and Pomegranate Mint. I liked them quite a bit, though they're not easy to find.
The pieces are simple chiclets, rounded rectangular pieces, a little rustic and uneven, measuring about 3/4 of an inch long and about 1/3 of an inch wide. A serving, for me, is two pieces. (With actual Chiclets it's usually 3 pieces at a time.)
The chew is very soft at first, with a very cool note on top and a strong sweetness before the other flavors kick in. The sweetness is not the same as sugar, it's less round, cool on the tongue and rather slippery.
The flavor is very odd. At first it was a bit on the wintergreen side, which some people find medicinal ... or repulsive. There are other notes to it, a little hint of eucalyptus and then another more balsam note, it reminded me of mastic, which is a resin that's also used a chewing gum in the Mediterranean. (If you've never had mastic, it's also similar in its flavor profile to tea tree oil, which is not meant to be eaten but is found in many natural personal care products.)
The wintergreen notes dissolve away and all that seemed to be left was that sort of resin note with a hint of something like jasmine tea. It's pleasant, at least for me and did definitely freshen my mouth after eating some curry for lunch.
Cinnamon is predictable and comforting. It's woodsy and a little on the clove side of spicy, but has a wonderful warming hotness to it. The intense and rounded flavors dissipate pretty quickly, but the lingering flavor is just sweet and with the lightest tough of cinnamon.
There's no weird bitter note, either, which I think is often caused by artificial colors. There are no colors here, so it's all about the gum flavor. The xylitol sweetness lasts for a while, I'd say the pieces are satisfying for about 15 minutes. After I tossed the gum, I still had that lingering warmth of the cinnamon for at least a half an hour. It definitely cut through coffee breath.
I'd probably still stick with the Peppermint (from the original review) for a gum to keep in my desk, but for travel, I think I would go with the Coolmint because I really felt like chewing the pieces longer than the other flavors. It's a little expensive and the packaging takes up a lot of space for such a small amount of gum. (I might like it if the blister pack was scored so I could just tear off a few of them to keep them in my little case that I take on airplanes.)
The gum is not easy to find, and not cheap. I've seen it at natural food stores and grocers, such as Sprouts and Erewhon.

Dilly Dally Pickle Candy and Barrels of Yum
The dill pickle is a favorite flavor in the United States. It goes beyond the brined cucumber and has made its way into potato chips, vodka, peanuts, and even toothpaste. It's a small wonder we haven't seen more pickled candies.
The folks at Barrels of Yum have created a unique array of hard candies shaped like barrels, but I thought I'd start with their Dilly Dally Candy since it's their unique offering.
Their barrel shaped dill pickle pieces bring the flavors of dill, vinegar, salt, garlic and tarragon to hard candy.
They're bright green, like that weird paste I get from the Indian restaurant that I can't eat because it's so green. I'm not a pickle adverse person, as a kid I was a huge fan both of the store bought versions and the kind my grandmother made with the gherkins she grew in her own yard.
The first flavor is sweetness, like a sweet pickle, which I actually don't care for. But after there's a strong and pleasant herbal dill note along with a weird sort of garlic flavor. The tartness that emulates vinegar comes in slowly. Overall, it's a good likeness of a pickle in dissolvable form. I would have liked a little less sweet, which I understand is hard to do with candy, but perhaps a dash of salt. Mostly, it lacks the texture, that crunch, the coldness from the fridge that are elements I enjoy in my pickle. My mouth never quite watered during the experience like it does with some good, refrigerator-cold, fresh pickles.
As a novelty, especially if you're theming a party, these are definitely unique, but not something I'd eat every day.
The other more sedate collection from Barrels of Yum is their Classic Collection of old fashioned gourmet candy creations.
It really is time that hard candy got some upgrades, the new variety was created with David Klein, the fellow of brought us the idea of really great tasting jelly beans with the Jelly Belly.
The variety contains eight different flavors, though oddly enough, not the classic barrel candy root beer. They include: blueberry crumble, peach cobbler, apple pie, chai tea, sour watermelon, hot cinnamon, orange cream, and granny smith green apple.
They're kosher and made in the USA, unlike a lot of hard candies these days. They're for sale on Amazon, but at $5.99 they're a little steep. They're made with a combination of natural and artificial flavors. The colors are bright, though it's a little hard to tell some of the apart at first glance, as the peach and orange are similar as are the two browns.
Apple Pie is the light brown color. It's very apple, with a lot of tartness to it and a good flavor balance that has some cinnamon and something like graham or that emulates crust very well. The apple flavor is good enough that it almost taste like they didn't peel the apples.
Granny Smith Green Apple is just a little darker in color than the Dilly Dally, not that they're included in the same package. It starts out rather sedate but then develops. It's not Jolly Rancher apple, this is a lot more full bodied with more of the apple juice flavors than that artificial note that many American apple candies have. If you gave this to me without saying where it came from, I would guess it was Japanese, as they have a much better approximation of true apple flavor in candy than we do.
Blueberry Crumble is over-blued ... it made my tongue blue and as an adult, it's not really a feeling I care for. The flavor is good, a well rounded sweetness with a light tart bite of boiled berries with a sort of vanilla top note. It didn't quite differentiate itself as actual blueberry, more of a generic berry flavor.
Orange Cream is the lightest orange didn't really make any sense to me conceptually but it was well executed. Two of my favorite qualities of citrus are the acidic bite and the zesty balsamic note. Neither of those show up in this piece, as it's all about the soft orange flavor without the zing of the peel or the juice. So what's left? It's like a creamsicle, sweet and mild with a very good creamy mouthfeel, though there's absolutely no dairy in it.
Peach Cobbler is a medium orange color and rather weak. It was tangy but didn't have that dough element like the crumble did. It was just odd, not peachy. I thought this was a miss.
Sour Watermelon was hot pink and definitely reminded me of Jolly Rancher. The flavor was very sweet at first, like a ripe but uninteresting watermelon, but then the sour pops up as you get further in. It's not puckery, but has a believable quality to it.
Chai Tea is warm with immediate cinnamon notes. The other spices are quite mild and comforting, perhaps a little nutmeg and ginger. It's not as strong as I could have liked, but the flavor is continuous instead of getting weak as the candy dissolves.
Hot Cinnamon was saved for last, in case it burned me out. It starts out with a good mix of the powdery woody flavor but then goes right into the searing heat of the cinnamon oil. It reminded me of Atomic Fireballs, except there's no layering to grant relief after a few minutes. I had a little metallic hit from the artificial colors, I would have preferred colorings on these that didn't interfere with the intense flavors.
Overall, the barrels fill a niche for interesting flavors in hard candy. I found the pieces just slightly large for my preference. Though the barrel shape is fun, I do prefer a disk as I think that fits better in the mouth. This particular flavor assortment didn't fit my tastes perfectly, only about half are flavors I'd pick out of the mix. I am looking forward to what they do with Root Beer, as I would love to find a really intense, spicy root beer hard candy.

LM7 1976 Jeep CJ7Posted in Features on March 21, 2012
When we first offered David Lizzarago a photo shoot and feature story of his CJ-7, he said, "Yes, but…." But what? What could possibly be more pressing than having a camera pointed at your trail rig? Quite a few things, it turns out, and family tops that list. "I can't find my son," David told us.
A sea of RVs had swept over Anderson Dry Lake for Cal 4 Wheel's Hi Desert Round-Up, and Lizzarago's son was adrift somewhere among them. We wished him well, gave him our cell number (service is actually pretty good there) and hoped for the best. Jeeps come and go. Family doesn't.
Just as the sun was sinking below the horizon, David called with good news. He'd located his son and was heading our direction.
A CJ-7 wasn't Lizzarago's first choice. That honor was held by the CJ-8 Scrambler. Alas, none could be found at the right price, so the clean 1976 CJ-7 on these pages was located, negotiated, and re-created.
Some parts of the CJ's platform didn't need to be re-invented. Spring-under leaf springs offer reduced axle wrap and often allow more bump travel than their over-the-axle counterparts. The '7's wheelbase was also left as the factory delivered it. Same goes for most of the interior and the dashboard. Why fix that which isn't broken?
It's a different story under the hood. The factory carbureted toad is long gone, and there's an LM7 5.3L Vortec V-8 in its place. The LM7 is one of today's most popular engines for swapping, and for good reason. It's easy to find in wrecking yards. It's powerful, even bone stock. Thanks to pushrods and an in-block camshaft, it's compact. Thanks to six-bolt main bearing caps and a host of other smart designs, it's reliable. Thanks to all these desirable traits, the LM7 is well-supported by the automotive aftermarket. Long story short, it's a perfect choice.
Downstream from the Vortec, things go back to the good old days. It's not a bad thing: an SM465 four-speed transmission and a Dana 300 transfer case are as desirable and bulletproof as the GM powerplant in front of them.
From the transfer case, power feeds aft into a Dana 44 rear axle that's fitted with an Auburn limited slip and a 4.56 gear set. Following the front driveshaft leads to a Dana 30 with a Detroit Locker, chromoly axle shafts, and a matching ratio.
Though 33-inch tires aren't considered big anymore, this tire size still brings good things to the table. Thirty-three's are easy on axles, easy on fuel economy, and easy on the wallet. David uses Mickey Thompson Baja MTZs, a tread we've tried and enjoyed.
Spartan meets sophistication in the LM7 CJ-7. We're glad we got to shoot it, but we're happier yet that father and son were re-united in short order with minimal drama. Jeeps come and go. Family doesn't.

ZURICH (Reuters) - Swiss steelmaker Schmolz+Bickenbach's chairman acknowledged that Russian tycoon Viktor Vekselberg had won a long-running power struggle over the indebted firm, in a statement published in a newspaper on Sunday.
"There will be a new general meeting and a new board of directors with (Vekselberg's) Renova as dominating shareholder. I will be gone then," Chairman Hans-Rudolf Zehnder told Swiss newspaper Schweiz am Sonntag.
Schmolz+Bickenbach could not immediately be reached for comment.
Vekselberg, through investment vehicle Renova, acquired a 20.46 percent stake in Schmolz+Bickenbach on Friday from the group Schmolz+Bickenbach GmbH & Co KG (S+B KG), descendents of the company's founders who have been fighting with the board of directors over a restructuring for months.
Renova and S+B KG now hold a combined stake of 40.46 percent, which forces Vekselberg under Swiss law to submit an offer to buy the remaining shares in Schmolz+Bickenbach. Renova said it did not want to increase its stake further and hoped existing shareholders would keep their shares.
S+B KG said on Saturday the commercial registry office in Lucerne had granted its request to block any new entries to the steelmaker's share register with regard to decisions taken at Friday's shareholder meeting.
That means the board of directors and re-elected chairman Zehnder will not be able to execute a 330 million Swiss franc ($348.8 million) rights issue approved by shareholders on Friday.
Another major shareholder in Schmolz+Bickenbach, board member Gerold Buettiker's Gebuka, had obtained a court order ahead of the shareholder meeting, allowing S+B KG to only vote with 20.46 percent of shares instead of the 40.46 percent it owned at the time because the remaining 20 percent are tied into a shareholders' agreement with Gebuka.
S+B KG said the fact it could only vote with about half of its shares had a decisive influence on the outcome of the shareholders' votes on Friday.

April 1, 1930 - March 4, 2013
Monroe, NY
Harry W. Babcock, a forty-seven year resident of Monroe, NY, passed away peacefully Monday, March 4, 2013 at St. Anthony's Community Hospital, Warwick, NY, surrounded by his loving family after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was 82 years old. Son of the late Harry W. & Anna J. Anderson Babcock, Harry was born in Richmond Hill, Queens on April 1, 1930.

Like many people, I heard the sad news of the passing of Steve Jobs first thing this morning, shouted up the stairs before I was properly awake. My first thought was the sadness of the news, then about the legacy left by Steve Jobs. While for many, his legacy is in the products they own, for me it is the changes Apple made under Steve's leadership to drive the electronics industry towards a clean future that are well worth remembering.
Greenpeace and Apple have history. During our campaigning for a greener electronics industry, Apple and Steve Jobs have been central figures. I never met him, but I think it's safe to say he was never a Greenpeace fan. Despite this, he did make a rare promise in 2007 to be the first computer company to phase out the worst hazardous substances from all Apple products. In 2008 Apple lead the industry with the first computers virtually free of toxic PVC and BFRs. He clearly understood the value to Apple of being the first. Today, all Apple products are free of these hazardous substances and where Apple lead, HP, Acer and others have followed. That alone made Steve Jobs ultimately a valuable ally in the fight for a toxics free future.
There's still much more for Apple and the rest of industry to do to be truly sustainable, both in terms of toxic free products and a clean energy future. But today is a day to reflect that among all of Steve Jobs achievements in the technology industry, one of the less well known ones is one of the most important. We need many more leaders like Jobs at the top of global companies who have the vision, drive and personality to deliver real solutions to the environmental challenges of today.
Rest in peace Steve Jobs, and thank you for leaving the world a greener Apple.

Jobs and Apple have proven that we could all "iGreen" the world, even through electronics. He and his work will not be forgotten.

Jobs is a visionary. I think he understood what it'd do when Apple stepped up and decided to go "green". I doubt that his real motivation was all to help the environment, but then again, his action has influenced other industry to do the same, so it's not all that bad.

My macbook is reliable, fewer viruses downloaded and still works 3yrs later as well as it did when I first brought it, unlike my last pc. Perhaps besides fewer toxic chemicals, apple's greatest gift was giving us computers that work and aren't going to an e-waste dump in another country as often as pc parts..

The Best Things To Do in Atlanta with Kids
Atlanta, the town I grew up in, has a diverse palette for children and adults of all ages. On a recent trip with my children, we explored everything from museums to parks to historical sites to theme parks. Depending on your interests, you can fill your day with something fun, something educational and something active. Here is a short list of "must see" things to do in Atlanta with kids, all from a born and bred Atlantan's point-of-view:


text: Fulbrights allow Saint Michael's College graduates to teach in Asia, part of surge in top scholarship News Home 04.23.14 By: Mark Tarnacki Saint Michael's College senior Mariclaire O'Neill and 2013 graduate Dylan Renca have been awarded prestigious Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Awards for 2014-15. O'Neill will do her Fulbright work in Malaysia and Renca will be in Indonesia. O'Neill will graduate in May 2014 with a bachelor's in English Literature and a minor in Psychology. She has worked as a writing coach for the college's Writing Center for over two years and has been Core Editor for two years to the college's literary magazine, the Onion River Review, and served the year before as auxiliary editor. In summer 2012 she was awarded a Vice President for Academic Affairs Research Fellowship to work on Green Mountain, a novel-writing project. O'Neill studied abroad in Samoa in 2013 with the School for International Training. Renca graduated from Saint Michael's in May 2013 with a degree in English and religious studies and an overall GPA of 3.87. He also completed a Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages in July 2013. Renca was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa National Honor Society, Delta Epsilon Sigma National Catholic Honor Society and Theta Alpha Kappa National Honor Society for Religious Studies. During his time at Saint Michael's, he was actively involved with a variety of campus offices including the Office of Admissions; Edumundite Campus Ministry; the MOVE Service Program; and the Honors Program. Since graduating he has been working as a para-educator at Edmunds Middle School in Burlington. An English Teaching Assistant Program places a Fulbrighter in a classroom abroad to provide assistance to teachers of English to non-native English-speakers. English Teaching Assistants help teach English language while serving as cultural ambassadors for U.S. culture. The age and academic level of classroom students varies by country, ranging from kindergarten to university level. Saint Michael's Commencement is Sunday, May 11, at 10 a.m. in the Ross Sports Center, and on Saturday, May 10 directly following this year's 4 p.m. Baccalaureate Mass the college will be hosting a reception for O'Neill, Renca and their families, as well as for Katherine Schutt '14 and her family. As a junior last April, Schutt, a chemistry major with math and biology minors won the very prestigious Goldwater Scholarship - the first person ever from Saint Michael's to win this national recognition. The Goldwater Scholarship is considered the most competitive and most beneficial recognition for an undergraduate science student in the United States. Named in honor of Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, the scholarship, established by Congress, aims "to provide a continuing source of highly qualified scientists, mathematicians, and engineers by awarding scholarships to college students who intend to pursue careers in these fields." The scholarship provides $7,500 and an advantage in getting into top graduate programs and in landing research grants. Schutt used her 2012 summer research project on mixed-isotope labeling in breast cancer as the genesis of her Goldwater application. Faculty Fulbrights Three Saint Michael's professors also were Fulbright scholars overseas in 2013-2014: Valerie Banschbach, biology professor and chairperson of environmental studies, spent five months in India starting in the fall of 2013 teaching and researching organic versus conventional farms, in collaboration with the Wildlife Institute of India; Jon Hyde and Kimberly Sultze, both professors of media studies, journalism and digital arts, did Fulbright years in Malaysia for a collaborative three-part project on media, health and the environment based on teaching, photographic documentation of biodiversity and conservation efforts and development of a new course for Saint Michael's on Media, Health and the Environment. In 2012-2013 the college also had three Fulbright scholars: Art History Professor Amy Werbel spent an academic year in China; Political Science Professor Patricia Siplon spent a year in Jordan and Education Professor Aostre Johnson did her research in Ireland. Political Science Professor Jeffrey Ayres had a Fulbright at Carleton University in Canada in 2003.

Confession, in the Judeo-Christian tradition, the acknowledgment of sinfulness in public or private, regarded as necessary to obtain divine forgiveness. The need for confession is frequently stressed in the Bible. The mission of the Old Testament prophets was to awaken in the people a sense of sinfulness and an acknowledgment of their guilt, both personal and collective. Before the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem (ad 70), the sin offerings on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) were prefaced by a collective expression of sinfulness (Lev. 16:21), and, since the destruction of the Temple, the Day of Atonement has continued in Judaism as a day of prayer, fasting, and confession.
In the various communities that claim to be part of historic Christianity, the concise and comprehensive statement of Christian doctrine that is most widely recognized is the Nicene Creed. In 1982 the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches recognized that…
In the New Testament the public ministry of Jesus was prepared for by John the Baptist, who baptized the people; the baptism was accompanied by a public confession of sins (Matt. 3:6). The necessity of confession is discussed in many places in the New Testament, although there is no direct evidence that confession had to be specific or detailed or that it had to be made to a priest.
A detailed confession to a bishop or priest, however, appeared early in the church's history. In the 5th-century discipline of the Roman Church, the practice was to hear confessions at the beginning of Lent and to reconcile the penitents on Holy Thursday. Gradually, however, the practice of reconciling, or absolving, sinners immediately after confession and before fulfillment of penance was introduced. By the end of the 11th century, only notorious sinners were reconciled on Holy Thursday. Often, those guilty of serious sins put off penance until death approached. To correct this abuse, the fourth Lateran Council (1215) established the rule that every Christian should confess to a priest at least once a year.
In modern times the Roman Catholic Church teaches that penance is a sacrament, instituted by Christ, in which a confession of all serious sins committed after Baptism is necessary. The doctrine of the Eastern Orthodox churches concerning confession agrees with that of the Roman Catholic Church.
During the Reformation the Church of England resisted attempts to have all references to private confession and absolution removed from the prayer book. In the 19th century, the Oxford Movement encouraged a revival of private confession, and it was accepted by some Anglo-Catholics. Many Anglicans, however, favour the general confession and absolution of the Communion service.
Most Protestants regard the general confession and absolution of the Communion service as sufficient preparation for the Lord's Supper. Among Lutherans, private confession and absolution survived the Reformation for a time but were eventually given up by most members. John Calvin also recognized the value of private confession and absolution for those troubled in conscience, but he denied that such confession was a sacrament or that it was necessary for the forgiveness of sins. In some Pentecostal and Fundamentalist churches, confession of sins is an important part of the worship service.
Most Protestants consider auricular or private confession to be unbiblical and consider confession viewed as a sacrament to be equally unbiblical. These Protestants stress that God alone can forgive sins.

SANTA CRUZ — News that Gregory Muck of Santa Cruz had died while hiking came just one week before he would have welcomed in his new classroom of third-grade students at James Leitch Elementary School in Fremont.
The 46-year-old husband and father of 5-year-old Delphina was on a one-week solo hiking trip in Kings Canyon National Park and did not return home at a prearranged time, his wife Shannon Muck said Tuesday.
Gregory Muck left for a wilderness hike to Gardiner Basin on Aug. 10, and was scheduled to return home Sunday. Monday, Shannon Muck alerted park dispatchers of her husband's failure to return or check in.
A search and rescue effort covering a 4-by-5-mile area was launched, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks public affairs specialist Dana Dierkes said.
Wednesday, his body was found at 12,000 feet elevation by a ground search team, northwest of Mount Gardiner in Kings Canyon National Park.
Dierkes said Muck appears to have fallen in rocky and steep terrain inaccessible by vehicle.
"The cause of the accident is under investigation," Dierkes said in a release.
Results from the coroner's examination are not expected for several days, officials said. Muck had been an educator at Freedom Elementary School in Watsonville before going back to UC Santa Cruz to earn a bachelor's in community studies and master's in education, UCSC spokesman Guy Lasnier said.
Muck's first assignment after graduating was a second-grade class at John Gomes Elementary School last year, Shannon Muck said. Muck had been transferred to Leitch for this coming school year.
Gomes Elementary Principal Doug Whipple said he was sad that Muck had to change schools because of space issues.
When a third-grade teacher retired over the summer, Whipple said he offered Muck a chance to come back.
"Greg said he was good," Whipple said.
He said he was going to have a new classroom and already had made new connections. He also noted that Leitch Elementary was seven minutes closer to home, Whipple said.
"I said, I get that. We both have long commutes. I thought that was interesting. It was seven minutes closer to his family," he said.
Whipple said Muck brought with him past experience teaching gardening to students, and inspired fellow teachers and students alike to look at nature, the soil and plants in a new way.
"He worked really, really well with the students," Whipple said. "He would bake bread, for instance, as part of his math class, for measuring and learning numbers and showing them the uses of math all around. Sometimes I would go into the room and it would smell so good."
Leitch Elementary School Principal Mary Liu Lee said Muck already had made an impression on her and the school's staff.
"What a beautiful man. He would have inspired the whole school," Liu Lee said. "It's very difficult to replace a teacher like this."
In fact, Liu Lee had ordered large round and hexagon-shaped tables for Muck's classroom, to facilitate his "outside the box" vision of students working together on projects.
"It's kind of a shock to me. I'm kind of unprepared," Liu Lee said of the news of Muck's death. "We met the daughter. It's very difficult. I have young kids in this school, it's kindergarten to third grade. So, when you see a little girl like that, that's lost a father, it's very difficult for us."
Family and friends of Muck created a Facebook page "Finding Greg Muck — The Great Adventurer" to update the public on their search efforts in the early days. It has since gained more than 600 "likes" and has evolved into a place of community remembrances for the Santa Cruz man.
"Thank you so much for your thoughts, prayers and support. Sadly, Greg died doing what he loved. We will miss him dearly. We will update you on when/where we will celebrate Greg's life. Please keep Shannon, Delphina, Dave & Carol, Cindy, the Muck and Fabian families and all of his dear friends in your prayers," was posted on the page late Wednesday.
