BMW 7 Series Saloon SEVENTH HEAVEN? (67/100)
We always thought the sixth generation version of BMW's 7 Series large luxury saloon was good; this revised version promises to be better. Jonathan Crouch takes a look.
Ten Second Review
When BMW launched the sixth generation version of its top saloon, the 7 Series, it elevated itself back into contention at the top end of the luxury segment for large saloons. But much has happened since. This significantly revised model has had to get clever to keep up with the demands of the marketplace. With a frugal diesel and a plug-in hybrid available, it proves even luxury barges need a conscience these days.
BMW's 7 Series has been with us for well over four decades now, with the first generation car having gone on sale back in 1977. Initially available in one length with a six cylinder engine, a V12 was offered back in 1987 on the second generation car with a long wheel base model available too. As the Nineties became the Naughties, increased environmental concerns saw the introduction of diesels for the UK market as the list of available equipment grew along with the car's size and weight. For this updated sixth generation car, BMW knew they had to offer even more on-board gadgetry, connectivity and camera-driven safety kit - and of course that's exactly what we've got. Plus the styling's been sharpened and there's a much more competitive petrol Plug-in hybrid option.
Driving Experience
The 7 Series has always sold itself as the driver's choice in luxury limos and that doesn't look to be changing any time soon. Even the most sensible (and slowest) six cylinder 730d pumps out 265hp, enough for 0-62mph in a scant 6.1 seconds (which falls to 5.8s if you go for optional xDrive 4WD). This is a far more popular choice than the similarly-price 340hp 740i petrol model. Other less popular engine options in the 7 Series range all come only with xDrive. There's the 320hp 740d diesel, the 530hp 750i petrol V8 and for real plutocrats, the 585hp M760Li V12. Should you want to be as green as possible - or just escape the London congestion charge - there's a 745e plug-in hybrid that can travel up to 36 miles on electric power alone. All models receive an eight speed automatic gearbox and air suspension for both front and rear axles that allows you to switch from soft to sporty and the touch of a button. As the ultimate party trick, you can even get out of the car and set it to park itself from your smart phone. Very James Bond. Optional Integral Active Steering allows rear wheel steering to tighten the turning circle and sharpen cornering response. And on most models you can also specify Active Chassis Control to reduce body roll.
Design and Build
The 7 Series was the first of BMW's models to employ a 'carbon core' body structure blended with aluminium and carbon fibre-reinforced plastic - and that continues with this revised version of the 'G11'-series generation model. It offers us very much an evolutionary design and much about it is familiar - the long wheelbase and short overhangs, the flowing roofline and the 'Hofmeister kink' (the upturned line at the trailing edge of the side window graphic). Look closely though and the enhancements become obvious, most notably at the front end, which is now around 50mm taller at its foremost point. The traditional BMW kidney grille is significantly larger and features active air flap control with adjustable vanes that only open when the need for cooling air is increased. Slimmer three-dimensional rear lights and re-styled 18-21-inch alloy rims complete the key exterior changes. Inside, there's an all-digital instrument cluster that blends with an enhanced centre-dash screen of the same size. Plus buyers get the latest version of the BMW Touch Command unit. This removable tablet with a 7-inch screen can be used from any seat and even outside the vehicle. It lets the occupants operate comfort functions such as seat adjustment, interior lighting and climate control, as well as the infotainment, navigation and communication systems.
Market and Model
With the 7 Series acting as BMW's flagship saloon, it's no surprise that you'll have to dig deep to afford one. The range kicks off with the standard length and specification 730d at around £70,000. If you're after maximum rear legroom, the long wheelbase 'L' chassis is nearly £4,000 more, with xDrive 4WD nearly £3,000 more. The 320hp 740d gets xDrive as standard but costs from around £77,000. If you want to avoid the black pump, the petrol range starts at approximately £72,000 for a 740i but a better choice might be the £77,000 745e plug-in hybrid. You'll need around £85,000 for the V8 petrol 750ixDrive - and nearly £140,000 for the V12 M760Li; don't even ask about depreciation on that one... Standard specification includes the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant - an intelligent, digital helper who responds to the prompt "Hey BMW". This technology learns routines, habits and preferences to help the driver get the best out of the in-car functionality such as the seat heating or the places they navigate to. Drivers can also give the Personal Assistant a name for even greater individuality and personality. The Assistant is familiar with the vehicle's functions and is able to operate them as required. Saying "Hey BMW, I'm cold" will prompt the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant to adjust the temperature inside the car accordingly.
Cost of Ownership
Just because you're spending £70,000 or more on a large luxury saloon doesn't mean you'll be paying through the nose to keep it on the road. Let's look at the WLTP-rated figures. Even the 740i with its turbocharged petrol six is capable of between 31.7 and 34.0mpg on the combined cycle, while emitting 161 to 164g/km of carbon dioxide. Naturally the mainstream model consumption champion is the diesel 730d which posts figures of 41.5-44.1mpg and CO2 between 138 and 139g/km. For the 740d xDrive, you're looking at 38.2-41.5mpg; and 1480149g/km. You'll need deep company pockets to run the top 760Li xDrive petrol V12, rated at 20.8-21.6mpg and 282g/km. A clever choice might be the 745e petrol plug-in hybrid, which offers an electric-only range of between 32 and 36 miles. The speed threshold for all-electric driving has also increased to 68mph. The combined fuel consumption figures for this plug-in hybrid luxury version is between 108.6-134.5mpg. The CO2 emissions produced when burning fuel average between 48 and 52g/km. Across the range, intelligent networking enables the eight-speed Steptronic transmission's controller to also factor in navigation data when selecting the best shift strategy. As a result unnecessary gear shifts can be eliminated and optimum use can be made of the engine braking effect when approaching a junction. The drive system's networking with both the navigation system and the cameras and radar sensors likewise serves to maximise the efficiency-enhancing effect of the Auto Start Stop and coasting functions.
The 7 Series has always offered a slightly different take on the large luxury saloon. Although other vehicles may arguably offer greater passenger comfort, the big BMW has always made sure its drivers could enjoy themselves should the fancy take them. With this revised MK6 model, BMW look to have improved on this dual personality with extra tech and engineering enhancements like Integral Active Steering and Active Chassis Control. You could argue that this car still doesn't look quite as special as some of its rivals, but then this is quite a cautious section of the market. It's also undoubtedly better looking than the previous model, managing to seem both more stately and athletic at the same time. Whether it's enough to edge out the BMWs arch nemesis the Mercedes S-Class is another question though. You'll enjoy deciding.

Colonel girls take to ice for opener
BRATTLEBORO -- The Colonels varsity girls hockey team will play their season opener against Burr & Burton on Saturday at 4:45 p.m. at Nelson Withington Rink.
Team captains Maddie Rollins, Lou Lou Terwilliger, and Rebecca Potter (all Seniors) will lead a relatively new team this season after losing half of their 2011-2012 team to graduation.
"We've got a hard working team this year," said coach Linda Burke. "Fourteen of our 23 players are new to the team and more than half of them are new to hockey. This could be considered a rebuilding season for us, but expect to see a team that plays with heart and determination."
The Colonels have a lot of depth with their defensive core of Rollins, Potter, and Madison Doucette. They will be joined on defense by Zameica Wright.
The goaltending tandem of Lou Lou Terwilliger and Alex Fellows will likely be one of the strongest in the league. Brattleboro is coming off a 1.80 goals against average from last season.
"With our inexperience, they will see a lot of pucks this season," said Burke. "On offense, we will be looking to returning forwards Amber Bessette, Grace Willingham, Meyru Bhanti, and Karen Koes to score some goals for us."
With respect to new players, coach Burke said she's so far been impressed with Kia Bailey-de Bruijn, Kellie Schiller, Greta Pellerin, and Jessie Falk, just to name a few.
Colonels roster: Coaches -- Linda Burke and Linda Strom; Players -- Karen Koes, Louisa Strothman, Grace LaPorte, Tanmatra Bhanti, Meyru Bhanti, Maddie Rollins, Amber Bessette, Lacey Chandler, Saskia Bailey-de Bruijn, Zameica Wright, Michaela Shea Gander, Kellie Schiller, Grace Willingham, Emma Rueter, Pat Wangluang, Greta Pellerin, Madison Doucette, Rebecca Potter, Jessie Falk, Dorothy Kinney-Landis, Asha Dimatteo-Lepape, Alex Fellows, and Lou Lou Terwilliger.

Days after performing at the iHeartCountry Festival in Texas, country singer Jason Aldean had some big news to share with his followers. He announced on social media that he and his wife Brittany Kerr Aldean are expecting their first child together.
"Been hard to keep this secret but we couldn't be happier to add to our family," the Grammy nominee shared on Instagram. "This year just gets better and better. #bunintheoven."
Kerr Aldean also confirmed the news on social media while posing in front of blue and pink balloons.
U.S. & World
"SURPRISE!!! WE ARE PREGNANT!!! This was the hardest secret we've ever had to keep," she said. "This journey for us has been full of many happy times &also many tears... The biggest rollercoaster we have ever been on, without a doubt!"
Country Music's Cutest Couples
"All of the moments of heartache were followed by the biggest blessing in the entire world!! We will never take one moment for granted &can't wait to meet you, sweet baby!!!" she added.
The couple's child will join Aldean's two daughters from his previous relationship with ex-wife Jessica Ussery.
In recent interviews, Aldean and his wife have been open about wanting to expand their family.
"We're talking about it," he told "Entertainment Tonight". "She's a lot younger than I am, so I gotta make this happen quick. I don't want to be the old dad! It's something we definitely want, at least one kid and possibly two, we'll see. It's something we've talked about a lot. Hopefully in the next couple years."
And as Aldean celebrated his birthday earlier this year, his wife couldn't help but gush about life with the country music superstar.
"HAPPY 40th to the most amazing human I know..." she shared on Instagram. "You make me so happy and I am soooo glad I get to spend this crazy life with you!"

Check manual page of aix_if
AIX: State of Network Interfaces
|official part of Check_MK
|Supported Agents:
This check monitors
- the operational statusi
- link speed
- traffic
- packet counts
- errors
of network interfaces of AIX hosts using data sent by the Checkmk agent.
It is fully compatible with if and if64 and shares all of its features,
including Perf-O-Meter, averaging, flexible configuration and NagVis
Depending on the check parameters this service gooes WARN or CRIT when
- the port status changes (i.e. is down),
- the link speed changes (e.g. a port expected to be set to 1GBit/s
operates only at 100MBit/s)
- the absolute or procentual traffic of a port exceeds certain levels
- the rate of errors exceeds configurable limits.
This check supports averaging the in- and outgoing traffic over a configurable
range of time by using an exponentially weighted moving average.
The averaging can be configured on a per host and per port base.
This is done by adding a key "average" to the parameter dictionary
with the number of minutes that the average should cover as its key.
If Port averaging is turned on it outputs two additional performance values:
- the averaged traffic in bytes
- the speed of the interface in bytes per second
If you have configured traffic levels, then those levels are applied to the averaged values.
There are three allowed ways to specify a port: 1: the last component of
the SNMP OID number (as string), the ifDescr of the port or the ifAlias of
the port. If you are using the alias, you have to make sure that it is unique
by configuring useful aliases in the switch. Checkmk does not check for uniqueness.
The inventory creates one service for each port that fulfills configurable conditions.
Per default these are ports which are currently found up and are of types 6 (ethernetCsmacd),
32 (frameRelay) or 117 (gigabitEthernet).
Grouping: In some situations you do not want to monitor a single
interface but a group of interfaces that together form a pool.
The if check supports such pools by defining groups.
You can specifiy the members of a group by their port type and the item name(s) of
the single interfaces. The data of all members is accumulated and put together
in a single grouped interface service.
You can specify the groups with the ruleset if_groups.
Groups are defined as list of dictionaries.
The keys are:
"name": String. Name of the group within the service description
"iftype": Integer. Interface port type as integer
"include_items": List of Strings. Interface item name. This name depends
on further settings like if_inventory_uses_alias or if_inventory_uses_description
"single"(optional): Bool. Interfaces in this group do not show up
as single service if "single" is set to True (Default: False)
For example: if_groups = (["name" : "Group WLAN", "iftype" : 6, "single" : True], ["lan"], ALL_HOSTS )

Having finished reading the Newbery Medal winners in August of '09, I'm continuing with the books which have been awarded the Andrew Carnegie Medal - the British equivalent of the Newbery Medal, now awarded by the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP).
The medal was first awarded in 1937, for the best children's book of 1936, but there have been three years when no book was considered suitable, so there are only 71 winners thus far. In addition to the gold medal, the winner receives £500 worth of books to donate to a library of his/her/their choice.

So the count now is 48 down, 23 to go. The ILLs are still coming in - my thanks (again) to the New Haven Free Public Library, New Haven CT; the Simmons College Library, Boston MA; the Wilton Library Association, Wilton CT; the McAlester Public Library, McAlester OK; the Southern Connecticut State University Library, New Haven CT; and (I think) the Connecticut State Library Service Centre, Willimantic CT, for the loan of their books.
* His Dark Materials, Book 1. Published in the US as The Golden Compass.
** Published in the US as A Northern Light.
*** Up through the award for 2005, the winners were referred to by the year of publication. Beginning in 2007, the winners were referred to by the year the award was given, as with the American Newbery Medal. Thus there is no "2006 winner" of the Carnegie Medal. Tamar, the 2005 winner, was published in '05, and received the medal in '06. Just in Case, the 2007 winner, was published in '06 and received the award in '07.

ok....i'm confused so is it better to pay interest while in school?
I could be wrong, but you're also not losing anything by saying yes to paying interest payments while in school. It gives you the option to, but you are not under obligation to do so. So if you change your mind and don't pay or don't pay for a particular month, it has no effect on you than if you had said no from the get-go.
First of all, a tax deduction while your making essentially nothing at the beginning of law school does you little good.Secondly, between graduation and Dec. 31st, even if you are working biglaw, you won't make six figures.The following is a slight elaboration on the 'you can afford it' presented by the previous poster. I do agree that if you have a lucrative 2L SA position making a $2500 interest payment does make sense. It doesn't make sense to pay more if you will have to take out more loans for your last semester or bar study.

LONDON (Reuters) - Stagecoach (SGC.L) on Wednesday rejected allegations that its U.S. bus joint venture Twin America was anti-competitive after the United States government started legal proceedings against the business.
The British transport group said the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) and New York's Attorney General had initiated legal proceedings against Twin America, a joint venture between Stagecoach North America and City Sights, set up in 2009.
Stagecoach said the U.S. bodies were seeking dissolution of the joint venture or they could force the company to sell certain assets. However, Stagecoach said it would "robustly" defend its position.
"Since the joint venture was formed in 2009, the sightseeing bus industry has become even more competitive as new sightseeing bus operators have commenced business in New York and other companies have announced firm plans to do so shortly," said Stagecoach.
"Stagecoach North America, City Sights and Twin America disagree with the position of the DoJ and the New York attorney general and believe their action is unnecessary."

Black lawmakers sharply criticized the governor's proposed General Assembly redistricting plan Thursday, saying his committee has drawn a map that will likely produce a legislature that looks whiter than the actual population of Maryland.
"I consider this map to be a slap to the face of black Democrats," Del. Tiffany T. Alston, a Prince George's County Democrat, said during a three-hour public hearing on the plan in Annapolis.
Leaders of the legislature's black caucus and the state chapter of the NAACP both said that a map with districts that reflected Maryland's population would have 14 Senate and 41 delegate seats from majority-black districts. Instead, the map produced by the Governor's Redistricting Advisory Committee has only 12 such Senate seats and 36 for delegates.
"The result of the plan will be to keep African-American voters under-represented and white voters significantly over-represented," said state Sen. C. Anthony Muse, a black lawmaker from Upper Marlboro.
A five-member committee appointed by Gov. Martin O'Malley, a Democrat, unveiled last week a proposed map of General Assembly districts redrawn to take into account population changes identified by the 2010 Census. The changes further diminish Baltimore's representation in the legislature because of city population losses.
Statewide, the plan would increase the number of majority-black districts over the map drawn 10 years ago. The new map would add two Senate districts with a majority of African-American voters in Prince George's County, and for the first time create a House of Delegates district in Prince George's that is majority Hispanic.
O'Malley told critics he would consider their objections, but made no promises. "I'm here to listen," he said, though he added that some people are always unhappy when political districts are redrawn.
"I have never been through a redistricting process where people come out and say, 'This is better than the map we used to have,'" O'Malley said of criticism of the proposal. "This is always an inconvenience ... but it's required of us."
Carletta Fellows, who spoke on behalf of a civil rights group called the Fannie Lou Hamer PAC, called the plan "racist" and said the public wasn't given enough notice about the hearing.
"Why is the black community only getting six days to respond to this proposal?" she asked, calling the situation a "gross miscarriage of justice" and "proof of intended racial dilution."
Radamase Cabrera, spokesman for the group, threatened legal action should O'Malley stick with the plan in its current state. "If he does that, the first place we're going to is the Court of Appeals. If we don't get all of what we want there, we're going into federal court," he said. "We have literally all the time we need to argue this out." The group is already taking part in a lawsuit challenging the state's congressional redistricting plan.
The governor can make changes to the map proposed by his committee. Under the Maryland Constitution, he must introduce his proposal on the first day of the legislative session that begins next month. The House and Senate can make their own changes, but don't have to. If the chambers fail to agree on a map within the 45 days, the governor's automatically becomes law.
The final map will be in effect starting in the 2014 General Assembly election.
Under the plan, Baltimore would lose two of its 18 delegates and share one of its six senators with Baltimore County. The plan radically redraws Baltimore's 44th Senate District, which lost 25,144 people in the last 10 years — shrinking more than any other in the state. Under the proposed map, the 44th stretches into western Baltimore County in a hybrid city-county Senate seat.
Sen. Verna Jones-Rodwell, who now holds that seat, has said she does not object to the change, but the move affects several city delegates. The smaller city portion of her district would include the Bolton Hill home of freshman Del. Keiffer Mitchell, a Democrat who may launch a bid for a seat in the other chamber. In addition, the homes of the other two delegates currently representing the district, Keith Haynes and Melvin Stukes, would be moved to the 40th and 41st, respectively. That sets up two House races in 2014 where incumbents would be forced to run against each other.
Pushing part of Jones-Rodwell's district into the county sets off a wave of changes. Sen. Delores G. Kelley, the county's only African-American senator, would have a district that's still majority black, but less so.
Kelley testified Thursday that she believed she could win in the new district, but worried about communities along Liberty Road being split up.
"Your map cannibalizes the current 10th district by splitting long-standing African-American communities of interest along the Liberty Road corridor," she testified. "Your map removes from the 19th legislative district its very heart."
Black lawmakers weren't the only ones dissatisfied with the plan.
GOP Del. Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio of the Eastern Shore said current population density means the Shore and Carroll County should have greater representation. In Anne Arundel County, Republican Del. Cathleen Vitale urged O'Malley to avoid splitting the community of Severna Park into three districts, as the current plan proposes. And Demaris "Dee" Hodges, chairwoman of the Maryland Taxpayers Association, objected to a "packing of conservatives into two districts" in Baltimore County, in part by dividing Parkville from Perry Hall.
O'Malley's redistricting committee itself came under fire Thursday after Republicans learned that one of its members, Richard Stewart, had recently been convicted of tax evasion in federal court.
"The Governor's redistricting plan has been criticized by liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans alike for its partisan and divisive nature," David Ferguson, executive director of the Maryland Republican Party, said in the statement. "But now, the integrity of the entire map and the process in which it was crafted must be questioned."
Before Thursday's hearing, O'Malley said Stewart never told him about his legal troubles. The governor said Stewart would play no further role in the redistricting plan and also would have to resign from the Maryland Stadium Authority board.
"On a personal and professional level, I'm very disappointed," O'Malley said.
Stewart could not be reached for comment.
According to a statement from the Department of Justice, from 2003 through at least 2008, Stewart did not collect, truthfully account for and pay more than $3,969,337 of Social Security and income taxes from his employees' wages. Stewart is required to pay restitution to the IRS in the amount of $5,414,647, according to federal prosecutors.
Stewart's sentencing is tentatively scheduled for April 23 in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt. He faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

Kotobukiya, in a press release today, shared details on the new ARTFX series in 2008 that includes Dengar, 4-LOM, Zuckuss, Bossk, IG-88, and Boba Fett. JediInsider.com got their hands on pictures.
Press Release
A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! The acclaimed series of Kotobukiya ARTFX Statues expands with the addition of the highest requested characters from the Star Wars universe: THE BOUNTY HUNTER SERIES!
From the darkest chapter of the saga, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader has summoned mercenaries from across the galaxy to help him capture Han Solo, thereby luring Luke Skywalker into a deadly confrontation. Six of the fiercest hunters are assembled: Dengar, 4-LOM, Zuckuss, Bossk, IG-88, and legendary BOBA FETT.
The enigmatic Boba Fett stands 11 3/4″ tall in a dynamic combat pose, simultaneously flying and firing his flame thrower. His distinctive Mandalorian armor has been replicated with stunning accuracy, with detailing based upon the costume used in Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Each of the Bounty Hunters will include special bonus parts for you to collect. Once all six Hunters have been released, you will be able to assemble the bonus parts into a brand new, full size Darth Vader ARTFX Statue! A free $100 value given at no additional cost! Fett will include Darth Vader's left arm!
In addition, each of the Hunters will include a unique hexagonal base, which can be linked together on any side, creating a variety of display options for the full series of characters. Line them up as first seen in Empire, or use the Darth Vader as a centerpiece to assemble the bases to create the symbol of the Galactic Empire!
That is a lot of bounty to be hunted, so let's review…
- A new ARTFX Statue each month, six in total
- Interlocking bases, which can be arranged to form the Imperial logo
- Bonus figure parts that can be assembled into a full size Darth Vader statue
- Additional bonus parts will also be included so that Vader can be displayed in three different poses
With its large scale and impeccable paint applications, this ARTFX Statue is a snap-fit kit that can be easily put together in seconds without glue or modeling skill. Look for a new Bounty Hunter each month, with the next release scheduled to be IG-88!

As you get ready to travel—even if it's a short trip - don't forget to take these few easy steps at home before you leave:
Turn up your thermostat to 85 degrees (unless you're leaving pets at home, of course). Experts agree that the energy saved from turning your thermostat up in the summer while you're away is greater than the energy used to cool your house back down after you return.
Close window blinds and shades to block out the sun's heat. It's amazing how much indoor heat simply comes from the heat of the sun though the windows. Most ENERGY STAR qualified windows reduce the "heat gain" into your home more than typical windows do, without reducing the visible light. You get the light you need without the uncomfortable heat.
Avoid wasting energy on unused electronics while you're away by unplugging them—including hand-held electronics that might be charging, such as phones, MP3 players, chargers, and even laptops.
Aside from those one or two lights that you may want to leave on for safety, make sure everything else is turned off—all lights, ceiling fans, the alarm on your radio, and other small appliances.
And perhaps the best thing you can do to save energy this summer is to choose hotels that have earned EPA's ENERGY STAR label. These hotels listed use at least 35 percent less energy and emit at least 35 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than other hotels—making a stay with them a carbon-saving experience.
For more tips on bringing your green on the road, visit the EPA's website.

Back in before my homesteading days, back in the day dreaming phase, I used to reread Anne of Green Gables. Just the book and I relaxed on a blanket, down by the creek in the shade of some ancient tree or another.
Also a fan of the Wonder Works movie, I remember being mortified by the raspberry cordial incident with Anne's kindred spirit Dianna Barry. Anne not being familiar with raspberry cordial, accidentally serves Dianna Currant Wine or some such beverage. Dianna gets magnificently drunk and Anne is blamed.
All I can remember thinking is, "that would happen to me"
Anyway, on with our recipe. Try this recipe for blackberry cordial. Then enjoy experiencing the Anne of Green Gables series as an adult. No better way to spend a summer day.
Blackberry Cordial
1 Quart of blackberry juice ( Crush however many blackberries you need to yield one quart of juice.
1 pound of sugar
1 teaspoon of ground cloves
2 teaspoons nutmeg
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons allspice
1 pint of brandy
1. Crush enough blackberries to yield one quart (4 cups of juice)
2. Combine the berry juice with the sugar in a non reactive ( non aluminum ) saucepan.
3. Tie the spices in a cheesecloth and add the bag to the pan.
4. Bring to a gentle boil and keep gentle boil for 15 minutes.
5. Skim and cover the mixture until it cools.
6. After it is completely cooled, add the brandy.
7. Bottle and seal.
My notes claim it will keep for years. However, there is no mention of waterbath or processing time. So if you have ever made this or know anyone who has, please let us know.
Does it even need to be processed?
Will just cranking the lid on the mason jar be enough?
Please let me know so I can add the details.


text: Thought it might be good to have our own ride report thread. Lots going on with so many other threads and that's great but let's try to keep this thread just for ride reports. For starters myself and O'Leary headed out from Rogers, Saturday morning and hooked up with JD in Prairie Grove then headed South. We had cool weather but the Sun was out and we all felt great since it had been so cloudy and down right "wintery" for what seems like a never ending winter. Our first water crossing and all made it just fine. Had the making of a great day! Here O'Leary clears the second water crossing of the day. JD showing his fine style up on the pegs and cleaning it with no problem. A few other trip shots. Beautiful day for sure. We hit Natural Dam some time around 12:30 or so... Once down by the dam we saw a group standing around the rocks across from the dam and went to see what was going on.......Rock crawling anyone?? Look closely and you will see some very cool "machines" This young lady, waits her turn to show the "boys" how it's done I'm sure.... After a watching for a while we decided to head back up to the café for some grub. By the time we got done eating and made it to Mountainburg we were running very late since I had to be back for a birthday party so we hit old 71 and slabbed it back home. Great fun and great friends.

Kincoppal – Rose Bay
These posters are a collation of works promoting world peace, addressing the war, pain and hunger evident throughout history and still present in daily life. My use of a red and black theme recalls the propaganda posters of the Russian Revolution. I have re-used this stylistic convention to communicate ideas towards a better world. The youthful subjects represent the young generation who are going to be responsible for changes in the future, for they are the crucial element in creating a new world.
Respond to Toni Robertson's text and imagery in the series Taking Marketown by strategy. How does she use these elements to explore her sense of identity and her place in the world? Consider why Caterina Faro chose to develop a body of work in the expressive form of graphic design. In what way does this enhance the overall meaning of the work?
The 1970s in Australia saw a rapid rise in political poster-making due to the increased interest in politics at this time. Research this period in Australian history and discuss the significance of this artform. Discuss the notion that art can change the world.
Research the artist Toni Robertson. Develop a case study based on her approach to art-making and her view on feminism as reflected in her posters.

Personal Injury Compensation has been set out to compensate the victims of accidents who have suffered personal injury through no fault of their own. It's important when making a claim for Personal Injury that your solicitor has a clear understanding of the circumstances so they can identify and advise on the prospects of success. Just because you have been in an accident doesn't mean you are entitled to compensation. You can only claim compensation for Personal Injury in the event you are both injured and it was somebody else's fault.

On Wednesday, Comcast announced that it has started an IPv6 market deployment pilot in the town of Pleasanton, California. Comcast Xfinity Internet subscribers in Pleasanton who have an IPv6-capable DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem can automatically receive an IPv6 address as well as an IPv4 address. However, this only happens if they connect their Windows 7 or Mac OS 10.7 system directly to the cable modem. Subscribers who use a home gateway between their computer(s) and the cable modem and/or older use operating systems such as Windows XP or Mac OS 10.6 don't get an IPv6 address.
This is because Comcast has chosen to apply the exact same methodology that is used for IPv4 to its pilot IPv6 deployment: the cable system gives out a single address to each subscriber. In the case where a single computer is attached to the cable modem, this works well for both IPv4 and IPv6: the computer gets an address for each protocol and can then connect to IPv4 destinations over IPv4 and to IPv6 destinations over IPv6.
This doesn't work with older operating systems because those don't support DHCPv6, the IPv6 version of the DHCP protocol that is used to configure IPv4 addresses. IPv6 also has a mechanism called stateless autoconfiguration for configuring IPv6 addresses. Stateless autoconfig works without a central server to hand out individual addresses. Instead, systems combine their MAC address or a random number with 64 bits learned from the local router into a full 128-bit IPv6 address. This is less suitable in a service-provider context, as the service provider can't easily determine which user has which address at a given point in time.
With IPv4, a single address is sufficient to connect a household full of computers and other network-enabled devices to the Internet because home routers use Network Address Translation (NAT) to share that single address. However, the IPv6 address space is so large that it's unnecessary to use NAT to conserve addresses, so IPv6 NAT is not widely supported in order to avoid adding complexity.
Comcast says it will implement support for home routers in an upcoming service update, later in 2011 or 2012. At that point, routers will be able to request a range of IPv6 addresses through DHCPv6 prefix delegation, and then configure that range of addresses on their LAN interface and give out addresses through DHCPv6 or stateless autoconfig.
We asked Comcast why it is starting in this limited fashion. "Waiting for prefix delegation would have delayed the start of our launch," Jason Livingood, Comcast vice president of Internet Systems Engineering, told Ars. "Our approach is an incremental one and we felt it was important to get started now, with a small subset of customers, and then build upon that in the future. This also gives us a chance to get wider operational experience within our organization and network."
The pilot's FAQ also mentions another surprising aspect: it won't be possible for subscribers to opt out of IPv6 service. "In this phase, we only issue IPv6 addresses to operating systems that are IPv6-capable," Livingood explained. "As such, we do not anticipate any issues with IPv6 support."
However, in the announcement, Livingood writes: "it is worth noting that this is the start of pilot market deployments as opposed to full national deployment. As such, it is possible that this will not be without technical bugs in the near term. Our focus is in identifying any final IPv6 transition issues quickly and fixing them rapidly, so we can soon begin a national deployment."
The FAQ points out that users can always disable IPv6 on their computer, but Microsoft recommends against that. Apple doesn't recommend against turning off IPv6, but its support article is out of date—as of Mac OS 10.7 IPv6 can't be turned off completely anymore, although setting it to "link-local only" should solve any issues.

WOW, a real good day. Finally they all can see and " taste" what soaring in Finland means. What a pity there is only ONE day to go! But better leave Finland with the memory of the great flights from the last days the sauna fun and the comradely. The rest will be forgotten soon.It looks they are going to have 7 cancelled days and 7 flyable days.
The skies today as shared by the organizers!
The day started with the briefing , the daily winners, the weather and the tasks: racing tasks 315 for club,371.2 for standard and the 2-seaters had to go for 371.6 km.
The fore cast was for good conditions, with isolated showers over the area, not so much wind and no high clouds.Later in the day it might get more blue.
" It is still unstable and so the sunny patches quickly generate thermals, cue and then over-development." was also one of the messages.
Today the startlines opened at;
Club 12:30, Standard 13:04 and 20 m multi seat 13:19.
2 pictures by the Belgium team from yesterday 's weather
2 pictures by the South African team from today's weather.
Excitement all over certainly in Standard class where young Bert Schmelzer from Belgium is now on spot ONE overall.
Ronny from Sweden won the day, Vitorio from Italy was runner up and Juha from Finland raced[ more or less ...as nobody from the 43 pilots flew over 100 km./h.] to spot 3 , Bert jr. was on spot 5 behind Mario from Germany, who won by the way the very first JWGC in Holland in , was it 1991? The Hood brothers had another excellent day and ALL pilots in this class FINISHED!!!
All scores are preliminary.
What about Sebastian??He and his mate Thomas started VERY early at 13.05. Others like Bert and the Hood brothers at 13.43!! It looks that the later start today was the better decision!
With one day to go the scores are exciting, scary and SO close. Look at this:
Bert on 1 with 4956 points and Sebastian with 4948!!!!
The Hood brothers with 4898 and 4851. NOW I wished I HAD traveled to Finland!!! Too late!!!
Will be glued to my laptop tomorrow!!!
More excitement as in club class out German topper Thomas won another day, [ he won day 3 as well] what a pity he had such a bad day yesterday. For him another good day might bring him back to the top. 4906 is his total score whilst the number 1 at this stage Eric from France has 5125 points. Killian is next and ouch Rasmus is on 3 now.He lost 100 points today.
It might be exciting to see how the French are going to handle tomorrow as the difference in points between Eric and Killian is only 16!!
A lot can happen then.
In the 2 seater 20 m. class it was not such a good day as yesterday for our USA friends and that on the 4th of July! Heinz and Karin finished but ended today at the last but one place. Who won???
You guested it ...the JONES BROTHERS. Another 1000 points for them... they are a class apart. What would there dad have been proud on them!!!They have a lead of nearly 700 points now!!!
Antti and Nikke lost a few points but are still ahead on the Austrian competitors.
An interesting day WITH lot's of finishes so here are a few pictures.
As seen by the Aussies
As seen by the Germans
It looks pretty sure that they fly tomorrow! A difficult night for some who are on high spots and for those who think they can beat them. An all or nothing day with interesting tactics.Indeed now I wish even more I was there!
Will try to follow it as much as possible. CU tomorrow.
To finish the last words from today by pilot Matt from Australia!
"We started early because there was a threat of a sea breeze setting in early, cutting off the 3rd and 4th turn points. However, the later starters look to have got the better of the conditions and just avoided getting stuck.
Things got tough for everyone getting to the 4th turn as we were in the blue with the sea breeze already in - weak, rough, gusty thermals - but at least they worked. The ground underneath was very bad for landing options. At one point, we looked down from 2000' agl to see someone very low circling over a lake with no paddocks in sight. They obviously got away as there were no outlandings.
Tomorrow is the last day, and it looks like we should have more good weather."

The project will use 33 Vestas 3 MW turbines, which will be delivered starting the middle of next year. Two years of monitoring at the project site shows an expected capacity factor of 37%. Revenue over the life of the contract is expected to be approximately C$500 million, says SRENA.
The SUEZ contract is the third stemming from New Brunswick Power's 2007 call for 300 MW of wind. In January, it announced agreements with Acciona Energy for the output of two wind farms with a total capacity of 114 MW (Windpower Monthly, March 2008). A 96 MW project is currently under construction by Calgary-based TransAlta Wind near the city of Moncton. Energy minister Jack Keir says further contracts will be signed to allow the province to meet its wind energy target of 400 MW by 2010. "We've got another one hundred megawatt to get out just as quickly as we can and our plan is to do exactly that," he says.
The New Brunswick System Operator has put a 400 MW limit on wind capacity in the province until it and the utility can assess the impact on grid operations and decide how to best add more. But as far as Keir is concerned, 400 MW is just the beginning.
Minister leads
"Obviously NB Power and the system operator have issues around reliability and stability of the grid. Our grid is not a corridor through the middle of the province. It goes all the way around the province and that makes it very robust and reliable. They want to make sure the wind balancing doesn't affect that in any way, and I get that," he says. "But that doesn't mean we have to reinvent the wheel there either. We've had some Danish consultants in looking at how much our grid can hold and how best we can balance any new wind coming on board. So NB Power and the province are looking at that together, and we hope to be able to push the envelope and put as much wind on as we can."
Keir says he wants more wind because of its environmental advantages and cost-effectiveness. The technology brings greater price stability, he says, by lessening dependency on rising fossil fuel prices. It also provides a buffer against the potential cost of greenhouse gas emission reduction requirements. New Brunswick currently has close to 4000 MW of generation, about 60% of which is fossil fuel based. "On top of that, we have a wonderful wind resource in New Brunswick that we should be taking advantage of."
An energy hub
Keir believes that resource will be key to the province's ambitions to become an energy hub for north-eastern North America. New Brunswick lies on the international border with Maine and is the access point to other Canadian markets for power from Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.
"We are blessed with location. We sit on top of one of the largest demand markets in North America. That is the north-eastern United States. Studies show they are going to have a demand-supply gap anywhere between seven thousand and ten thousand megawatt in the next eight to ten years. We want to be able to take advantage of that," he says.
The province has a diverse mix of generation to offer if the transmission and market challenges can be overcome, says Keir, but he also recognises that a lot of demand in New England is being driven by renewable energy laws mandating a specific proportion of green energy in the supply mix. "So wind is going to be a big play in that, no question."
SUEZ is already wheeling power through New Brunswick from its 19.8 MW West Cape project in Prince Edward Island and selling electricity and green power credits into the north-eastern US. SUEZ Energy North America acquired the project last year when it bought Toronto developer Ventus Energy for C$124 million in cash. The purchase marked the company's entry into the North American wind power market. It is also rapidly building a wind portfolio in Europe (page 44).

I was so thrilled to open up my Facebook and find a message from Becky Jamison nominating me for the "Puckerbrush Award"! Becky herself has a wonderful blog called, "Grace and Glory" which is very delightful to read. I like how personal and heart rendering her stories are and feel like I have known her forever. It thrills me that she thought of me to nominate me for the award.
Here is the explanation of the award, its origin, and purpose:
"The award was created in honor of genealogy blogger Janice Brown by Terry Thornton, author of "Hill Country of Monroe County, Mississippi", who explained that "Janice told us all about the word 'puckerbrush' in an article she posted August 27, 2007 at "Cow Hampshire". Terry elaborated a bit further in a comment: 'On any land allowed to go fallow and left untended, a wild assortment of wild plants grow – in some areas, this wild growth results in such a thicket of plants that it is almost impossible to push your way through the growth.So it is with the growth of blogs --- so many that it is impossible to read them all. But in the puckerbrush eventually a few plants/trees become dominant and influence all who view them through the thick surrounding puckerbrush.And it is those outstanding blogs whose influence spreads beyond just the surrounding rabble of puckerbrush that I'm honoring.' Terry issued this challenge: Henceforth these awards will be called the Janice Brown Puckerbrush Blog Award for Excellence. All blog authors are hereby challenged to name the ten blogs which have influenced their writing the most and list them as a tribute to Janice --- the Janice Brown Puckerbrush Blog Awards for Excellence."
I will like to pass on this award to the following bloggers who themselves have charmed me, informed me and for their creativity, and interesting topics!

My friend Randy Seaver at http://www.geneamusings.com/ posted this challenge:
It's Saturday Night – time for more Genealogy Fun!
It's been a really fun Saturday for me so far – I'm at the SCGS genealogy Jamboree while you're reading this, and I've been talking to over 30 genealogy bloggers, attending the Bloggers Summit, enjoying the exhibits and several classes, and tonight is our Geneabloggers banquet hosted and arranged by Thomas MacEntee at the hotel. (wish I had been there)
But this is about you – here is your SNGF assignment for tonight:
1) Identify one genealogist that you would like to meet. The person could be living or deceased.
Actually, I have two, unfortunately they are both deceased.
Hiram Deats (1810 – 1887) of Hunterdon County, NJ
Milton Rubincam
2) Why do you want to meet with this person?
Both were noted genealogist, in their time. Hiram Deats was a very important person to preserve the History and Genealogy of Hunterdon County, New Jersey. It appears that I am related to Milton Rubicam. I keep running into material he wrote, especially when I am working on my mother's family (Strode).
3) What would you talk about? What questions would you ask this person?
I am doing some research on the Deats family in Hunterdon County. I have taken a number of photo's of Deats headstones and have posted them on Find-A-Grave for other researchers. My real question would be, were there TWO Hiram Deats, born in 1810 in Hunterdon County.
In one of the Cemeteries, there are two Deats Family Plots. It might be interesting to hear the stories about why the two.
I would like to have more information on the Strode Family that Milton Rubicam had researched and gather more information about that family in Chester County, PA. I have found lots of information about a lot of Chester County residents, dating back into the founding of that county, but would like to talk more specifically about his research on this family.
4) Write about your choice on your blog or in Comments to this post.

Couple arrested in kidnapping of Amish girls
A man and a woman have been arraigned on charges they intended to physically harm or sexually abuse two Amish sisters after abducting them from a roadside farm stand in northern New York State earlier this week, authorities are saying.
Stephen Howells, 39, and Nicole Vaisey, 25, of Hermon, N.Y., were each charged Friday with two counts of first-degree kidnapping, St. Lawrence County, N.Y., District Attorney Mary Rain said. They appeared in court with lawyers, but were not allowed to enter a plea. A town justice ordered them jailed without bond, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
The St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Office issued a statement late Friday saying the arrests of Howells and Vaisey "no doubt saved young children from future abuse."
Sheriff Kevin Wells said in a statement that the older of the two girls provided "crucial information" that led to the arrests.
District Attorney Mary Rain declined to discuss a motive for the abduction or provide any other specifics about the suspects. She said information provided by the girls helped lead to Howells and Vaisey. The suspects' home is about 13 miles from where the girls live.
"The suspects agreed to go to the sheriff's office to be interviewed earlier today and they were arrested after those interviews," Rain said.
More information was expected to be released at a news conference Saturday morning.
The girls, 7 and 12, turned up cold and wet but unharmed at a home in Richville, N.Y., about 13 miles from where they vanished after apparently being abducted by two people driving a small white sedan who pulled up to the family's roadside vegetable stand in Oswegatchie, N.Y., Rain said on Thursday.
The girls approached the vehicle, according to earlier reports, and a witness reported seeing the passenger in the sedan throw something in the back seat of the vehicle, WSYR-TV reported.
The two girls were apparently tending the stand while the rest of the family was in the barn milking, WWNY-TV reported.
The St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Office issued an AMBER alert for the girls, who were both wearing dark blues dresses with blue apron and black bonnets.
Oswegatchie, with a populaton of just over 4,000 people, is about 95 miles northeast of Syracuse near the Canadian border.

Illusions collapse! The collapse under their own weight governed by the law of gravity. If you pile too much bullsh*t on less than a solid foundation you will find yourself one day in a stinky pile of dung. That, today, is where Lance Armstrong finds himself. And the reality is – once you're in it, it's hard to dig your way out and ever get rid of the stench!
Heralded as a true American hero, Lance Armstrong was revered as an icon – a man who beat cancer, was at the top of his athletic career and a pay-it-forward guy with his non-profit foundation Livestrong. Today Armstrong's past successes are dwarfed by his admission that he was a liar and bully. But is Armstrong's story any different that those of lesser know folks who find themselves in a Collapse of Ethics? The patterns are the same only the names and circumstances change.
The following was reported by CNN:
Appearing tense, Armstrong told Winfrey it was a happy day for him to be there with her.
He described his years of denial as "one big lie that I repeated a lot of times." He had races to win and a fairy tale image to keep up.
Armstrong reminisced on his storied past of being a hero who overcame cancer, winning the Tour repeatedly, having a happy marriage, children. "It's just this mythic, perfect story, and it isn't true," he said.
It was impossible to live up to it, he said, and it fell apart.
What Lance stated is common – not easy – but common for those of us who build a house of cards only to watch it collapse under the weight of unethical choices that were compounded by lies and more lies. The question is – what are the patterns that can creep into our lives that allow someone who knows better to make unethical choices?
There is a pattern – a clear pattern of behavior – that is not specific to a person, but rather specific to unethical behavior and it starts with NEED. And, while the word – NEED – is wide open to interpretation, the emotion connected with it is rather simple. Defined as a physiological or psychological requirement for the well-being of an organism, NEED is that elusive thing driven by an internal desire connected with an emotion that drives behavior. To be clear…I'm no psychologist, but there is no doubt that there was an internal emotional desire that went unfulfilled that contributed to the choices that Lance Armstrong took.
Below is a partial transcript of Oprah's interview with Lance Armstrong:
Oprah Winfrey: Did you ever take banned substances to enhance your cycling performance?
Lance Armstrong: "Yes."
OW: Was one of those banned substances EPO?
LA: "Yes."
OW: Did you ever blood dope or use blood transfusions to enhance your cycling performance?
LA: "Yes."
OW: Did you ever use any other banned substances such as testosterone, cortisone or Human Growth Hormone?
LA: "Yes."
OW: In all seven of your Tour de France victories, did you ever take banned substances or blood dope?
LA: "Yes."
OW: Was it humanly possible to win the Tour de France without doping, seven times?
LA: "Not in my opinion. That generation. I didn't invent the culture, but I didn't try to stop the culture."
Notice…while admitting guilt a key factor emerges…Lance believed that he could not win without acting unethically in his sport of choice. In fact, he acknowledged that while he "didn't invest the culture" he "didn't try to stop the culture." In other words, Armstrong, like many others who act out unethically, took the approach that it was alright to take illegal or unethical actions (or both) as long as it was the norm!
But back to NEED. For Armstrong to win he believed that he NEEDED to use performance enhancing drugs! Winning was important and winning the old fashioned way didn't seem to be an option.
There is an illusory truth that most of us miss when we are in the midst of making life changing choices…and that is – if the actions of others are common place we assume that similar actions that we might make are alright. Rarely do we challenge the common actions around us and ask the hard questions about ethics. Armstrong, in his answers to Oprah's questions, demonstrates that. See the transcript below:
OW: You said to me earlier you don't think it was possible to win without doping?
LA: "Not in that generation, and I'm not here to talk about others in that generation. It's been well-documented. I didn't invent the culture, but I didn't try to stop the culture, and that's my mistake, and that's what I have to be sorry for, and that's what something and the sport is now paying the price because of that. So I am sorry for that. I didn't have access to anything else that nobody else did."
OW: Usada issued a 164-page report. CEO Travis Tygart said you and US Postal team pulled off the most sophisticated, professional and successful doping programme sport has ever seen. Was it?
LA: "No. It definitely was professional, and it was definitely smart, if you can call it that, but it was very conservative, very risk-averse, very aware of what mattered. One race mattered for me. But to say that that program was bigger than the East German doping program in the '70s and '80s? That's not true."
OW: What was the culture? Can you explain the culture to us?
LA: "I don't want to accuse anybody else. I don't want to talk about anybody else. I made my decisions. They are my mistakes, and I am sitting here today to acknowledge that and to say I'm sorry for that. The culture was what it was."
OW: Was everybody doing it? That's what we've heard. Was everybody doing it?
LA: "I didn't know everybody. I didn't live and train with everybody. I didn't race with everybody. I can't say that. There will be people that say that. There will be people that say, 'OK, there are 200 guys on the tour, I can tell you five guys that didn't, and those are the five heroes', and they're right."
What was Lance's NEED? Well he says it best in one of his comment to Oprah!
"My ruthless desire to win at all costs served me well on the bike but the level it went to, for whatever reason, is a flaw. That desire, that attitude, that arrogance."
Lance Armstrong's Collapse of Ethics will continue…
Meanwhile – YOUR COMMENTS ARE WELCOME!

Indy 500 promises to be chilly, unlike last year
A year ago, fans at the Indianapolis 500 were searching for shade
A year ago, fans at the Indianapolis 500 were searching for shade.
This year, they'll be looking for some sun.
Temperatures throughout May have been unseasonably cool at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and that hasn't changed during race weekend. Fans bundled up against the chill for the public drivers meeting Saturday - even the drivers appeared to be shivering - with more cool weather in store for Sunday.
The forecast for race day is a high in the upper 60s, according to the National Weather Service, with a 40 percent chance of rain. But it could be in the upper 50s when the green flag waves to start the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing," a huge departure from a year ago when most of the 235,000-plus fans were sweating things out.
The temperature hit 91 degrees when Dario Franchitti crossed the finish line, just one degree shy of the race-day record of 92 set in 1937. It was also 91 on race day in 1919 and 1953.
Many drivers believe the weather this year will produce more speed, but it's unclear whether it will benefit Honda engines or Chevrolets - or maybe just make everyone faster.
"I think cooler temperatures and lower humidity definitely helps the engines in general," said James Hinchcliffe, whose Andretti Autosport team has been fast all month with Chevrolet power.
Defending series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay said that the cars handled differently on Carb Day on Friday, when drivers had their final practice, than they did during warmer qualifying days
Franchitti said that the colder temperatures might also produce a more competitive race.
"The way this car drafts, the big bulky bodywork, that also lends itself to close racing," the defending race-winner said. "The cold temperatures might help, as well."
The only time it hasn't cracked 60 degrees on race day happened in 1992, when Al Unser Jr. held off Scott Goodyear by 0.043 seconds for the closest finish in Indianapolis 500 history.
Rain has also played a role in several Indy 500s. Though the chance of precipitation is slim for the start of Sunday's race, it's expected to increase as the day wears on.
Pole sitter Ed Carpenter said the cooler temperatures are a relief to drivers in part because of the heavy fire suits that they wear. When the mercury rises, so does the temperature in the cars, and those fire suits become hot, bulky and often soaked-through with sweat.
"Mentally, it gets hard over 500 miles, especially if it's a hot day," he said. "It looks like it's going to be cool, but mentally this place will wear you down. There's not much margin for error at this race track. One mistake can end your day."

So I was pursuing the local Publix (Where Shopping is a Pleasure), when I decided to take a left turn down the "ethnic" isle. At the British section I grab some tea biscuits (to have with my English Breakfast Tea) and I came across a new and exotic candy my American eyes have never seen before.
Fry's Turkish Delight. Intriguing! The only thing I know about Turkish Delight is that kid in the Narnia stories really liked it. So I decided to give it a try.
I brought it home and shared it with my husband. His comment "It tastes like shoes smells covered in chocolate.". Hmmmm not exactly a ringing endorsement. My own opinion, well it has an odd consistency, sort of like a gum drop or a jelly bean inside, but softer. It had a vaguely fruity taste, it just felt so weird to bite through. I didn't mind the taste, but I don't think I'll be buying it again. The chocolate exterior was fine, it was just the weird gel that got me.
Never be afraid to try new things!
