The site simply lists the Collector's Edition as for sale alongside the standard edition - without one word what it includes different from the standard edition.
Apparently, the upgrade is available only in a box, not a digital download?
I hope there will be little ingame difference, never really been the fan of collectors edition, especially not the electronic versions which grants more units and more weapons etc.
That said collectors edition I dont mind if it included strategy guides, charts of the tech tree, little trinkets, stuff like that.
Sincerely~ Kongdej
I tend to agree, I don't like when there's too much benefit in the game - but it'd be nice to know what you get for the $10 shipping charge.
I still miss the good old days where there was no collectors edition just a regular that almost always had a little "gift", like Pirates! that contained a map of the Caribbean and staff like that
If a collectors edition come up for FE i would like something like that and not extra thingies ingame
Problem with normal editions coming with the trinkets is that the market has rejected it IMO.
When you go out to eat, having a waiter bring you water is nice, but people at McDonald's don't want that cost and would buy another place's burger.
There's a downward pressure on prices - a game costing more with those things might sell less when other games charge less without them.
So, it's selling people what they want - a cheaper version for people who want to spend less and a better one for people who will spend for it. Just like McDonald's offers a $1 value burger and a $4 Angus burger.
But more than that - publishers find other models make more money a lot than 'selling a game' - DLC that used to be free, subscriptions, F2P bonuses, etc.
Players who spend $60 on a new game they play for a year are pretty much at the top of the spending for a game - yet a year of World of Warcraft for a new player costs $180 in monthly subscriptions, plus maybe $50-$100 for the basic game and expansions.
Dragon's Age:Origins cost over $100 if you bought the game, and DLC, when released - even if it's now been on sale all for under $10.
Used to be, here in California, you buy gas, you get someone pumping it and washing your windshield and checking your oil. Wasn't that nice - then the market rewarded stations who old gas for a lower price where you pump.
Whats your point Craig?
Personal, I don't like they do that if something ingame that effect gameplay if pay more (I'm not talk about add on, it's been there when game out, Collector's Edition you can play mage or fire mage, while normal you can't play mage or fire mage, that is, it's just wrong and rip off. so if there collector, then it's should not touch gameplay or something part in the game. It's sort of not fair to normal user. Now on other hand if collector had something more outside of game that are not effect ingame and gameplay sure as map or artbook, ect, I'm all fine.
I suspect that it may have something to do with the fact that a lot of us are getting the game for free. On one hand, having a good collector edition would seem like a good idea to generate revenue from the fans, on the other hand, it also seems like trying to have the cake and eat it too if there's too much in there that normal players don't get. Fair or not, it's probably not something that they would want to discuss so I suspect they won't say much about it until near release.
Well, what about one who paid for like I do, I didn't get a free for this game. LOL.

High school swimming: Hawken boys, girls sweep CVC meet (with four videos and audio)
A seemingly endless row of folding chairs lined the pool deck Saturday during the Chagrin Valley Conference meet at Hawken.
If a game of musical chairs broke out, only one school was winning that race on this afternoon, and it won't take many guesses to figure out which one.
The host Hawks swept the team championships — the boys with 314 points and 11 top-three finishes to outdistance runner-up Chagrin Falls (198), and the girls overwhelming their league foes once more with 415.5 points, 46 more than Kenston (203) and Chagrin (166.5) combined.
Just another day at the home office in Chester Township.
On the boys side, Hawken junior Henry Senkfor helped lead the charge by sweeping the 200-yard individual medley and 100 backstroke for his first two career CVC individual titles and also opening the winning 200 medley and 400 free relays. Senkfor, who was fourth a year ago at state in the Division II 500 freestyle, cut 1.24 seconds from his runner-up IM finish at CVCs last winter and 0.72 in the back.
"In this meet today, that's all I wanted to do," said Senkfor of going sub-2:00 in the IM. "I had my eye on (Chagrin senior Austin Quinn's) record a little bit, but I'm happy that I was under two minutes. That was my goal.
"(The back) is not my best time this year. I slipped a little bit on my start, but I'm still really happy I won the event. I didn't win anything last year, so I'm really happy to have a couple of individual titles as well."
Displaying a propensity to score well in all events this year, Senkfor is hopeful the Hawks can make a run at their first boys district title since 1991.
"That is all we want to do this year," Senkfor said. "We haven't won in 22 years, and so to get the district title would just mean everything. That would be crazy." Continued...
Chagrin Falls freshman Jason Quinn had a memorable CVC debut, taking the 500 free and coming back minutes later to swim a 23.87 split on the first-place 200 free relay. In the 500, Hawken's Liam Oznowich led most of the way after going out hard in the opening 75, but Quinn — in a well-executed swim — bided his time with steady splits and was able to slip past Oznowich late to win in 5:01.23.
"I was really focusing on trying to not go out too fast and not being able to catch up in case I was behind," Quinn said. "It's really hard when you're into the 500 and you're out with him and you're feeling really tired during the end, so I really wanted to be able to have the endurance to come back on him."
On the girls side no one was coming back on Hawken as the Hawks swept all but one swimming event. North Carolina recruit Sarah Koucheki took the 50 free (24.29) for her third career CVC title in that event and the 100 free with a 52.50 for her third straight league crown there.
"It's definitely fun," said Koucheki, who graduates as an eight-time CVC individual event champion, of competing in sprint free. "With sectionals, districts and state, we swim the same thing over and over again. It's nice to mix it up.
"Everyone was a little off their best times, but overall we won the meet, which is nice to do."
Other News-Herald area CVC individual champions crowned Saturday were Hawken's Micah Simpson (200 free), Elijah Spiro (100 breast), Carrie Bencic (200 free), Caroline Vexler (200 IM), Kaitlyn Cerne (100 fly), Maureen Rakovec (500 free) and Marissa Cominelli (100 back) and Harvey's Jeremy Preston (100 fly).
For more from the CVC meet, read swimming notes in Tuesday's edition.

Content | Street Smart Express on April 11, 2011 Herb Opalek, CEO of Merced County Rescue Mission, passed away Saturday night. Kathy Opalek called AGRM President John Ashmen Sunday morning, sharing that her husband had just returned from Seattle and was in the Fresno airport when he collapsed. Paramedics at the airport as well as doctors at the local hospital tried unsuccessfully to revive him. John prayed with Kathy on the phone; she values the AGRM family's prayers for the Opalek family and the Merced County Rescue Mission staff and guests. AGRM has lost an uncommon personality, creative leader, and loving friend. Kathy requested that we provide her phone number, (209) 489-9590, for good friends who would like to talk with her. And she would appreciate your submitting your memories of Herb to the Merced County Rescue Mission via fax at (209) 722-9269. Some will be shared at his memorial on Saturday, and all will be collected into a book of memories and possibly posted online for people to share and enjoy. Thank you for your prayers. |

First edition of "The Vampyre" reveals clues about history of book and its popularity
Molly Miller is a graduate student in the School of Information at The University of Texas at Austin. She is studying to become a teen services librarian, but has many other interests, including nineteenth-century British literature, vampires, rare books, and anything to do with the Victorian Era. As part of a research project in Michael Laird's class "Studies in the Book Arts," Miller studied a first edition of John William Polidori's The Vampyre.
Vampires have inspired human imagination for centuries. They even play a huge role in popular culture today, and vampire mythology has been explored in literature, movies, and many other forms of media. While big names such as Bram Stoker's…

Brooker is just snide & can only hold forth when there is no-one to challenge his opinions. Put him in a programme with other people & he is completely lost. Viz his recent non appearance on Buzzcocks.

July 13th: Ritter Sport Thank You + Competition Winner
Last week I reviewed one of Ritter Sport's latest creations their reader devised Cookies & Cream bar (See HERE). Within that review I gave all you ChocolateMission readers the opportunity of trying the bar for yourselves with the launch of a Twitter based competition to guess which of the three consumer designed wrappers I thought was best.
Well one week on I can reveal that the winner is @Ste_Collins who correctly guessed that I thought wrapper number 1 (pictured below) was my favourite. I have to say it was a close run thing between that one and number 3 (the chequered chef one!), but in the end I preferred the less busy, simple design of the first.
Thanks ever so much for all the entries - keep an eye on the Twitter feed (HERE) for future competitions.
On to the review today ....
Kcal 563 Fat 38.0g Carbs 47.0g (per 100.0g)
The review today will be short and succinct what with the announcement of the competition winner. Another reason for this being relatively brief is because there isn't much to say :D This Ritter Sport Thank You chocolate is a recently released offering that has snuck in the back door whilst the Summer 2011 and Cookies & Cream bars have taken centre stage.
This 'Thank You' chocolate is the newest addition to Ritter's 250.0g range and has been designed for the occasions where 'you want to say thank you to a loved one' .... awwww isn't that cute :D The milk chocolate came packaged in a rather gaudy looking multi-coloured wrapper that I personally didn't think looked all that great (sorry I prefer the plainer designs - boring Jim!!). So what was supposed to be so special about this chocolate? Well it was 40.0% milk chocolate that had been 'enriched with Trinatiro cocoa' of course haha!! Laugh I may, however it was actually very nice and like their 35.0% milk chocolate I reviewed a year or so ago, a noticeable improvement from their rather more generic standard milk chocolate. No doubt aided by it's thicker melting texture, the cocoa flavours were just more forthcoming and tasted deeper layered with rich milk and honey notes all coming to the fore.
Overall this was a better than average milk chocolate, and would be a bar I would gratefully receive or gift in the instance where a good old 'Thank You' is in order for someone with plainer tastes. It wont light your world on fire, nor does it look as special as a box of chocolates from someone like Thorntons or Hotel Chocolat. As a standalone milk chocolate though it's a decent offering from Ritter Sport.
8.0 out of 10

I've lost again. This is a fix I tell you! A fix!!!!!!
Just kidding Jimbo :P Thanks for the opportunity of the competition. I just hope my luck is better next time. - July 13, 2011
Jim are you ever going to start using your twitter as more than just a way of telling people what reviews are on? Do you have a personal account? I don't want to sound like a creepy stalker but you really intrigue me. I want to know what you do in your everyday life, like your job and daily life? What sort of person creates a chocolate made site like this one.

Oh bugger I chose number 2 :( I'm going to be sulking all day now. Cookies and cream would of been amazing to try.

Woah woah woah! Why have you drawn the winner early I didn't even get a chance to enter. I demand this be redrawn.
- July 13, 2011
I still think you should have created an option D) which meant that you didn't like any of them LOL. Honestly I found it so hard picking a winner out of the three that Ritter chose. I would of thought they would have got much better entries than the ones they picked out.

Whats up with you not liking the wrapper on that milk chocolate Jim? I think it looks pretty. Its so much more interesting than the boring ones they usually have, its nice to see them doing something different.
- July 13, 2011
Well done to @steven, I'm uber uber jealous. I would have done anything for that damn cookies and cream one. I will just have to wait until they bring it out here in the UK. I have a feeling that I might be waiting around forever lol.

I wasn't expecting to hear who won this competition so soon :( I was planning on signing on to your feed closer to the weekend because I thought it might give me a better chance. Serves me right for waiting, next time I will just enter as soon as.

I see Ritter are slowly making their way up the %s on their milk chocolates :) LOL last year it was 35%, this year it's 40% ..... you got to be thinking that 45% is on the way next year.

Sorry I've been slow with this one. That was such a cool competition that ritter did in the first place. Being about to create your own flavour is such a cool idea, lol knowing the British GP we would make something lame like milk and dark chocolate or something equally as dull.
It must be so cool being the person who gets credited with that bar. Getting your very own chocolate bar made must be the best. - July 13, 2011
Thanks for the competition. Shame I didn't win :(

Hey J
Looks like United are going to be sold Nasri does it. I don't think Arsenal can afford to sell him as it leaves them with such a hole to fill. What do you think Utd are going to do now. You guys well need to bring in a new midfielder lol.
Nice one for the competition btw. I didn't enter cause I hate white chocolate but by the looks of all the people that are disappointed they didn't win you seem to have got lots of people onboard.

Heres a competition question you can use ....
'Whats harder to win? The EuroMillions or a competition on Jim's Chocolate Mission?'
Don't worry you don't have to pay me for that one. I must have entered about ten of your competitions now, its ridiculous. - July 13, 2011

At least Ritter are still making their big chocs in a 250g size and aren't cheating people like some chocolate makers are doing now.
I still can't believe the cheek of cadburys reducing the size of their 250g to 230g. It wasn't the fact it was particularly noticeable, it was more the moral behind doing under the radar which hurt the most. - July 13, 2011

Have you still reviewed every single Ritter chocolate out there then mate? That is an amazing achievement if thats true.
Lol no one is ever going to be able to accuse you of not being thorough with your reviewing now are they. - July 13, 2011
Jim did you ask your Ritter Sport people whether they plan on doing more things in the UK? It was something I asked about on the cookies and cream review last week.
- July 13, 2011
How do you pick the winners of this competition? Do you have an external adjudicator to make sure there is no foul play going on ;) I'm envisaging a national lottery type set up here. All of our names being thrown into ball machine camelot and the winner being picked out that way. Thats the level of techinal accuracy I want to hear about you going to hun.
Rxxx - July 13, 2011
I didn't think you were picking a winner until the weekend? Why did you bring the closure date forward?
- July 13, 2011
- Ryan said...
I was hoping I would win this time around. That cookies and cream is the best sounding flavour they have come up with for a good while. Do you know if it is one that is being made as a limited editions or in limited batches at all?
Hopefully it will prove to be really popular so they keep it as part of their main ones. That way I at least have some tiny hope of being able to get one myself at later date. Thanks for the comp .... just make sure I win next time lol. - July 13, 2011
- Ian said...
Ste = Steven?? Well done anyway to you winning. You and Jim must share the same taste in chocolate bar wrappers, well either that or you are good at guessing.
Let us know how it tastes, I'm interested to hear the 2nd opinion on it. - July 13, 2011
- Andy said...
I saw one of those massive ritter bars at the weekend in waitrose. It was called biscuits and nuts. I nearly bought it but I didn't have enough change on me at the time + I hadn't seen a CM review of it. Have you done it before? I don't see it linked anywhere.
- July 13, 2011
Well done @Ste_Collins
Enjoy the chocolate, let us know what you think of it. Your probably going to be the 2nd person in GB to try it behind Jim lol. I can't imagine there are too many other people in this country getting first dibs on ritter sport new flavours. I could be wrong :) - July 13, 2011
- Terry said...
Looking at the wrapper of that new milk chocolate Ritter might want to consider letting their fans design all their wrappers lol. It looks terrible I can't imagine what they were thinking when they gave that the go-ahead. Great reviews Jim and thank you for running the compeition again.
- July 13, 2011
- Luke said...
Is this THANK YOU chocolate going to be the first of a line of new bars from Ritter?
It would be a cool idea if they did ones for HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CONGRATULATIONS etc. Lol I'm probably dreaming this all up in my head. Stuff that I think of never happens lol. - July 13, 2011
You chose number 1? I declare shennanegains its rubbish.
- July 13, 2011
- Tim said...
It's about bloody time ritter tried to do something with their milk chocolate.
I've never thought it was bad or anything but it's always been the obvious area that they could improve on if you ask me. If they could just highten the quality of their milk chocolate across the rest of their bars and keep the same consistent awesome filings people would blatantly think a lot more about their produce. Do you know know if they have plans to do this. - July 13, 2011
- Rose said...
I love your competitions but please can we have something different for the pries next time. I'm not all that familiar with Ritter chocolate. I would much rather you gave like Milka or Cadburys away. Sorry, I know that makes me sound so ungrateful.
- July 13, 2011
- Kels said...
God help the person whos won if they chime in and say the didn't like it. I don't think I've ever wanted to try a chocolate as much as this one. Now I know I haven't won I'm going to order some direct from Germany. I just need to find a reliable place to buy it from.
- July 13, 2011
- Gamer360 said...
It's my ambition now to try every single flavour or Ritter like you have Jim :)
I see that it's only taken you the three years to do lol. I'm going to aim to do it in a year and I'm going to include all the limited editions that they come out with in the mean time. Ritter Sport FTW! - July 13, 2011
Drat. Denied my ritter sport fix yet again. I never win these things.
- July 13, 2011
- Kieran said...
You picked that one as the best??????
Seriously dude what were you thinking. It's so plain and boring compared to the other two. It looks like the person put half the effort into than the other two. I can't believe you picked that one the winner, is the one I ruled out right away. - July 13, 2011
Well done to the person that won - make sure you tell us what it was like. You better appreciate it.
I guessed the wrong wrapper so I wouldn't have been in the draw anyway. We obviously differ in our taste of art Jim :-P the one with the chef on the front was blatantly the best. - July 13, 2011
- Chris said...
I think Ritter have sorta shot themselves in the foot there making that new milk chocolate bar.
It doesn't reflect well on them saying 'hey we have this super duper new milk chocolate recipe' ..... but we aren't going to give it to you on the rest of our bars.
I wouldn't of thought most people will notice, but the real fans of ritter will wont they. - July 13, 2011
- Leo said...
Why is that you are always giving away Ritter Sport when you do competitions nowadays? I just looked under all the ones you have done in the last few months and almost all of them have had Ritter Sport prizes involved?
Do you know someone that works there? Do you work there yourself? Come on Jim let the rabbit out the hat. - July 13, 2011
I agreed with your choice of wrapper but I didn't enter the comp because I don't like white chocolate. I didn't want to take away the opportunity for someone else more appreciative to be able to try it. Believe you me, the next ritter competition you run I'm going to be all over, don,t you worry about that dude.
- July 13, 2011
- Henners said...
I'm never going to win any of these competitions am I :( I spent so much time last week making sure I RT'd all of your reviews.
It took ages for me to do that grrrrrrr - July 13, 2011
Ahhhh no way I got the wrong one to begin with :(
I think you need to make the method entry different next time Jim. Make it something based on effort rather than pure luck. I mean we only had a 33% chance of even being entered in the prize draw itself, thats not even factoring in all the other people entered. Lol now I think about it the odds of winning were tiny, I got my hopes up and everything. - July 13, 2011
Jim I see there are loads of disappointed people today. Why don't you ask your mates at Ritter if they will send you more to run a bigger comp? Its worth a try isn't it? The worst thing they can say is no.
- July 13, 2011
Jim what do you think the chaces are of them sticking that milk chocolate in the rest of their flavours in the future?
I would love to see it happen as it sounds so much better than the current stuff. Realistically thinking though I can't see them doing it. Cocoa prices are always going up so I think its more likely they decrease the amount rather than increasing. Sad but true don't you think. - July 13, 2011
- Linda said...
Ignore the whiney moaners Jim you blatantly chose the best out of the three :)
I didn't win but its cool I picked the right one. Us true chocoholics have the best taste don't we love x - July 13, 2011
- Sam said...
They should make a plain white chocolate bar not a milk one. I think their white chocolate is among the best I've ever tasted.
It's so much better than the likes of crappy milkybar and cadbury dream. They are just sickly and yuck now, I used to like them but either my tastebus changed or they made them worse. I'm still undecided which to blame it on. - July 13, 2011
Ritter sport are blatantly a well cool company. They seem to put their german fans at the heart of everything they do. I wish they did the same for their UK ones, I'm not having a go at them btw. I think its more down to the size of their company rather than them being sinisters towards us.
- July 13, 2011
Ritter are cheating with the new varieties now :) this one shouldn't count!!! Just changing the cocoa content by 5% does warrant being a whole new flavour. How many are they up to now? Do you genuinely think you would have noticed the difference if they hadn't of told you on the pack? I wouild expect that even a seasoned chocoholic vet like you might of had a bit of difficulty with that Jimbo.
- July 13, 2011
I say keep the competition structures as they are if it means they aren't much hassle for you. I wouldn't like you to start running less of them because you are thinking people want more complex competitions that are going to take you a load of time to setup and manage. Lol just keep the chocolate coming our way, no one is in a position to complain considering you do it off your own back.
- July 13, 2011
Chalk up another failure for me. I'm never going to win.
- July 13, 2011
Win lose or draw you should always be gracious. Well done to the winner, I'm insanely, insanely jealous of you :-P :-P
Any plans for another competition Jim. Lol I think the demand is there matey. - July 13, 2011
It's very unlike Ritter just to make a plain chocolate bar. Normally they feel the need to put some sort of filling in there.
- July 13, 2011
- Lee said...
We wait ages for a Ritter review and then two come along at once :) I was wondering the other day what this one was all about but I could translate the german well enough to figure out what it was.
At first I thought it was a bit boring just being plain milk chocolate but now I'm kinda bought into wanting to try it because it sounds a lot better than the usual stuff which I've never thought was all that bad itself. - July 13, 2011
Yowzers 250 grams is a heck of a lot of Ritter Sport. Do you know if they make a 250 bar of Yogurt flavoured? I think I can honestly eat that all in one. It has to be one of the best chocolates ever in my humble opinion.
- July 13, 2011
- Pete said...
I've been meaning to ask you (jim) and the forum a question for a while now but it's been slipping my mind everytime.
Why do Ritter Sport not have a caramel flavour? It's like the most glaring miss given that it's such a popular and comonlly made flavour. It just seems so stupid that they don't make it when they have such a massive range already. You would of thought it would have been one of the first they would have made. - July 13, 2011
I'm appreciative when I get given any chocs but if I got given this big bar of Ritter I don't think i would be able to help feeling a little bit disappointed. Ritter have have so many wacky flavours it would feel a bit of a let down just getting one mahooooosive bar of milk chocolate from them.
I still need to try and find somewhere that is selling their dark chocolate peppermint. Thats my idea of chocolate heaven, I have had way too many of them in my time though my Tesco stopped selling it a few months back. I think I'm down to my last one in my current stock - July 13, 2011
I've come up with a flavour that Ritter haven't done yet!!! We haven't seen them play around with pistachios at all! They could do something like a white chocolate with pistachio cream. They could even wait until next year and lump it on with their ice cream themed chocolates and make a pistachio ice cream flavour. If I see this crop up now I will really believe they read what we say =)
- July 13, 2011
I wouldn't hold your breath if you think that ritter are going to put this milk chocolate across the rest of their milk chocolate bars. Theres no need for them to do it + it will just reduce their profit margins if they use more expensive ingredients.
Its a shame we aren't getting their best chocolate but all these chocolate companies are at it now. Take cadburys for instance, its pretty rare they use Dairy Milk in anything but the Dairy Milk bars nowadays. - July 13, 2011
I cannot believe that the score was dragged down by the packaging - I think this is probably the best Ritter wrapper I've ever seen. I love the squares & flowers idea. Still, it must mean this is a really nice milk chocolate bar if it got 8.5 for everything else.
@Andy: This is the review for that Ritter Sport Biscuits & Nuts bar - July 13, 2011
- Roxy said...
Doh! I was truly going to enter the comp (with no. 1 as my answer) but work's been so hectic metric that I haven't had a chance to breathe! :O
Oh well, nice to be able to read your review today!
I always want to try the yummy looking Ritter chocs you review but can't find em in any shops near me! Did Ritter say anything after your last Ritter review re plans to start selling in Tesco/Sainsbury's? Ta for an ace review Jim! x - July 13, 2011
- Jim said...
Hi All,
Boy I sure have got it in the ear from some of you today :D The comments you see here are the ones I have dared publish ... you should see the ones that I thought best not to allow up! Some of them were a tad harsh to say the least.
Sorry to you all who didn't win. Don't you worry the next competition is always just around the corner on this site. I will endeavour to try and make the next one a little more engaging and interesting.
ANON - I do tweet about other stuff sometimes. To be honest I don't have that much to say :D I wouldn't want to bore you people to death with my daily musings.
KIM - I don't know why I don't like it. I think it's just a bit random. I like the traditional wrappers that Ritter have.
STEVEN - You could be right there. They will have to miss out 50.0% because they have already done it :D
NIGEL - Indeed we have missed out on Nasri. I just hope and pray we can bag Sneijder before the summer ends.
WES - Yes I have reviewed every Ritter bar that is currently available. It's scary to think huh!? That is a lot of Ritter chocolate.
RACHEL - Haha, unfortunately it's not that sophisticated. I put all the names of people in a spreadsheet and use a random number generator to pick a winner.
ANON - The draw came forward because I had to get it done before the weekend as I am away with friends. Sorry to all the people that didn't get a chance to enter.
RYAN - I believe it's just a limited edition so yes there will only be limited amounts made. Unfortunately it's not even showing up on their website anymore.
LUKE - I haven't the foggiest idea to be honest with you. I would imagine that might create a number of different wrappers and will just put the same chocolate in there.
TIM/CHRIS - I don't think they will be replacing the milk chocolate on the rest of their bars with this. It's a shame but like you both say there are obvious reasons for them not doing so.
LEO - Ritter are so generous when it comes to the samples they send I always have leftovers. Seriosuly you should see the size of the packages they send over.
DAVID - Asking for even more from them would be a little rich. I have given a lot of these bars away to my friends and family aswell.
DUNCAN - I doubt I would be able to tell the difference being totally honest with you. If you are in the mindset of looking for differences in the taste though they are easily perceivable.
SAKURA - I like your way of thinking! A ritter bar with pistachios in would be most welcome. I might even go as far as pitching the idea to them :D
GRAEME - What you say is correct and I don't blame them whatsoever for taking such decisions. It must be hard as a smaller company surviving in these business conditions.
Right chaps & gals. Thanks so much for the feedback ... even you nasty people that haven't passed the language filter. Any feedback is good feedback I suppose.
JIM - July 13, 2011
- Lindsay said...
Yay I picked the right one. It was blatantly the best looking one out of the three. I thought the other two were just weird. That cartoon one was especially pants if you ask me, it didn't even make sense there was nothing about it at all that linked it to cookies and cream.
- July 14, 2011
- Sarah said...
Fair play to the winner I didn't even get as far as picking the correct design. Now I look at all three again I can see why you would like that one over the others Jim. The other two aren't very ritter sport if you get what I mean. That milk choc sounds nice btw. I never thought they would get such a high mark for a plain chocolate. Good on them.
- July 14, 2011
I hope the people complaining about how the competition has been run are joking. Its not as if anyone was forced to enter or like you had to pay. You should show more respect that that.
- July 14, 2011
Is it me or are all these companies suddenly coming out with these 'gesture' chocolates.
Both Thorntons and Hotel Chocolat have made similar things recently. Do you remember that Kraft have also made those 'Thank You' cadbury choc truffles. I don't think you've reviewed them yet have you Jim. - July 14, 2011
If you do get sent more from ritter why don't you run the same competition they did with the wrappers and see what we can come up with? I would love to see what sort of designs other JCM readers could come up with. Make it happen J.
- July 14, 2011

- July 14, 2011
Sorry mate but IMO you picked the worst looking wrapper of the lot.
How can you like that one over the other two? It looks so boring and simplistic compared to the others. I think even I could have drawn that. I would be interested to know the age of the person that drew it. - July 14, 2011
Oh well I didn't win but its not all that bad. At least I have you on my twitter now so I get a nice reminder when theres a new review posted. Cheers for the review aswell mate, Like some people have said it's unusual seeing Ritter being so reserved.
- July 14, 2011
- Jim said...
ANA - Thanks for linking Andy through to that much appreciated.
ROXY - Don't worry there will be another review coming soon enough :D I haven't actually been able to pin the Ritter guys down lately. I think they are so busy, I will be sure to ask them about it when I can.
PATRICK - Good spot there. I think they have just all realised the potential that people like giving chocolate as a way of expression. It words for cards so why not chocolate!?
CARL - That sounds like a competition I could run in the future yeah!
JIM - July 14, 2011

"Comfort Furnace"
I bought another brand of infrared heater and payed less than half of what I paid for the comfort furnace and work the exact same. So don't waste your money. Satisfied with the heating it does but cheaper one heats just the same and only paid 139.00 versus 339.00.

"Small and Compact but Powerful"
I purchased this heater about a year ago for use in the office area of my living room. I like that it is very small, only about 9" square and that it has 3 settings, high, low and fan so I don't need an additional device for that. It works well enough but I didn't realize that it has to be placed on something to get the full benefit of the heat and it only heats the area right in front of where it is aimed. As long as I am close to it, it provides a significant amount of heat. It has never needed to be repaired. I'd definitely buy the same brand but a different model because I'd want something that provides heat to a bigger area but it was a very low price and has performed very well in the time that I've had it. I'd tell someone to buy this brand and model only if they had a very small area to heat.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's odds of holding power "are slipping away" as the nearly 2-year-old revolt against his rule grinds on, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev says.
In an interview that aired Sunday on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, Medvedev distanced Moscow from its longtime Middle East client. But he repeated Russia's longtime insistence that outside powers shouldn't be picking Syria's leaders.
"From the outset, the Russian Federation was not an exclusive ally of Syria or President Assad," Medvedev said. "We used to have good relations with him and his father, but he had much closer allies among the Europeans."
Russia has "never said that our goal was to preserve the current political regime, or making sure that President Assad stays in power," he added. "That decision has to be made by the Syrian people."
It's the latest in a series of grim assessments of al-Assad's chances from Russia, which has been Syria's leading arms supplier since the days of the Cold War. President Vladimir Putin said in December that Moscow won't support al-Assad "at any cost," and Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov noted a few days earlier that the Kremlin "can't exclude a victory by the opposition."
When the Arab Spring revolts erupted across the region in early 2011, Syrians took to the streets to demonstrate against al-Assad's rule. The Syrian leader quickly responded with a crackdown by police and the army that soon exploded into a civil war. The United Nations says the conflict has now killed more than 60,000 people, and opposition activists said more than 100 were killed Sunday.
Rebel forces -- many of them led by former soldiers, others by jihadists linked to the al Qaeda terrorist network -- are now regularly battling government troops in the capital, Damascus, and the country's commercial hub of Aleppo.
Medvedev said he blames both the opposition and al-Assad's government for refusing to negotiate. He said he personally lobbied al-Assad to open up his regime to reform and that his resistance was an "important, if not fatal" mistake.
"The chances for him surviving are slipping away as days and weeks go by," Medvedev told CNN. "But once again, it should not be up to us. It should be up to the Syrian people."
Russia has criticized Western powers, including the United States, that have recognized the opposition as Syria's rightful leadership. Russia and China have blocked U.N. Security Council attempts to take action to end the conflict and force al-Assad to step down.

hey all
i was a mazzy star fan from she hangs brightly and love hopes solo work too : hoping to catch her either in the uk or US over next few weeks depending on whether my crazy personal life has settled down or not !
throught i would share this little story ... from the uk but spent a year around 91/92 travelling in the US after graduating , finally landing in the bay area where i lived and worked for several months ... one such job was in a restaurant on fishermans wharf by pier 39 ... one day i was outside the restaurant ( tarantinos ! ) and these two guys about my age wandered by , one of them wearing a mazzy star shirt ... as mazzy were then fairly obscure but ultra-cool and very dear to me i collared them and we got talking ... i think just a few months before leaving the uk id been lucky enough to catch a load of legendary bands live - lush , throwing muses , galaxie 500 , cocteau twins , pale saints etc and during the conversation with the mazzy star t-shirt kid i kind of it talked it up a bit too much and told them id seen mazzy star play in england too ... thats when the one guy turned to the other and said " are you going to tell him ? " and then the mazzy star t-shirt guy said " im hopes brother " !
so i need to se her live if only to redress that wrong !

Sunday, May 19, 2013 6:00amMartha Brockenbrough, the founder of National Grammar Day and the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar, tells host Rachel Martin about what she has referred to as an "apostrophe catastrophe." The U.S. Board on Geographic Names has a policy against possessive apostrophes in the names of places. The reason, The Wall Street Journal reports, is that the apostrophe quote implies private ownership of a public space.

Field trip by SWWW on 31 August, 14:00-18:00A field trip was offered to SuSanA members: "Linking Food Production and Sanitation - Reuse of Blackwater in Practice". It ran in parallel to Day 1 of the SuSanA meeting.The study tour focussed on the linkage between agriculture and the sanitation systems in Sweden, demonstrated by a new project that has been developed in close cooperation between the municipality of Södertälje, local farmers and farming organizations. The research in sustainable sanitation and reuse of wastewater to agriculture has an established history in Sweden but has not yet managed to scale up systems on a municipal level. In order to close the loop on sanitation, wastewater has to be seen as a resource. This process needs actors from many different sectors to cooperate and stakeholders from agriculture have to be involved from the beginning. This visit gave the participants an opportunity to meet experts and researchers and also discuss the case of black water reuse with farmers and politicians. Photos from the field trip are available here. More details about the field trip are provided here. To see a presentation with more information about this blackwater reuse system, click here. |

How do I... Modify Word documents using C#?

Accessing Word components from C# isn't quite as straight-forward as many other features of C# and the .NET Framework. With that said -- it's not rocket science either. You simply need to know what to reference and how to use the components. Zach Smith lays out exactly what you need to do.

Does anyone know how all of the creeks are faring on the east side of 101? High tide is approaching...
Posted by Bob , a resident of the Community Center neighborhood, on Dec 2, 2012 at 12:57 pm
check the city creek website and creek/s monitor. www.cityofpaloalto.org
Click on creek monitor. All the water coming down from Foothill Park, etc. and Corte Madera Creek and others in the foothills is 'delayed' action after the storm. Takes a full hour, so it is said for the runoff to come downhill. SF Creek at 101 is right up to the top. It is now 12:55 p.m.
Posted by Hmmm, a resident of East Palo Alto, on Dec 2, 2012 at 1:10 pm
Thanks, Bob - appreciate the update. I use the monitor & saw the SF creek in several places on the west side but haven't ventured to the east side yet, so that's why I was asking. I hope you're staying dry!
Posted by Chris, a resident of the Community Center neighborhood, on Dec 2, 2012 at 9:43 pm
We were unable to drive through the Oregon underpass this morning due to the flooding. As we took the detour over Alma we looked down and saw a Volvo trying to drive through.
The water was halfway up their driver's side door. I was astounded that they kept on plowing on into deeper water. Crazy.
Posted by Don't kill me PA driver, a resident of the Barron Park neighborhood, on Dec 3, 2012 at 3:04 pm
So let me get this straight...People were moving the hazard cones that were set out so they could drive though? for what I would assume could only be convenience? So many, in fact that the police have to issue reminders not to do this? I can't believe what I'm reading. What is it about Palo Alto drivers?!?!?! The worst.

Roehrs' Death Now Considered a Homicide
Holly Street resident was found dead early Wednesday evening in his home.
The death of Del Ray resident Elmer Roehrs is now being considered a homicide by the Alexandria Police Department following the results of an autopsy performed Thursday.
The 94-year-old was killed Wednesday evening in his home in the 2700 block of Holly Street in Del Ray. Police initially classified the case as a "suspicious death," but did say Roehrs suffered trauma to his upper body.
According to a myfoxdc.com report, Roehrs was killed during an apparent burglary or robbery.
An investigation into the case continues.
Police identified Roehrs as the victim late Thursday morning.
See: Victim in Suspicious Death Identified as Elmer Roehrs.
Alexandria police detectives had been investigating a November 2012 burglary that occurred at the home where the victim was found.
The suspect in that burglary was located and arrested early Thursday morning by Alexandria police.
Marie Maybell Johnson, 45, of no fixed address, was arrested around 3:15 a.m. Thursday following a traffic stop in the 1400 block of Duke Street in Old Town. She was interviewed by police detectives and transported to the William G. Truesdale Adult Detention Center.
Johnson was charged with burglary and grand larceny for the Nov. 27, 2012 incident. She has not been charged in relation to the incident from Wednesday night. She is being held without bond.
The brick Colonial home where Roehrs' lived had a history of break-ins. David Bouk, a resident of the house and believed to be the Roehrs' stepson, reported two burglaries at the home in 2011. He even addressed City Council about the "persistent" issue that March, mentioning one of the burglaries occurred while he took his "mother's husband" to the hospital.
Bouk said in those burglaries, jewelry and cash was taken from the house. A vehicle near the home was also burglarized that winter.
The incident is the first homicide in Alexandria since October 2011.
See: Alexandria Police Investigate Suspicious Death in Holly Street Home.
No murders were recorded in Alexandria in 2012. Alexandria resident Bob Cory McNeely was murdered in the 1200 block of Wythe Street in October 2011. DC resident Fabian D. Johnson was arrested in Georgia that November and pleaded guilty to the murder. He is serving a three-year, five-month sentence.
The Del Ray area has experienced an uptick in burglaries and robberies in 2013, including two gunpoint robbery incidents, two home break-ins and two business burglaries since Jan. 14.
On Monday night, members of the Alexandria Police Department briefed the Del Ray Citizens Association on investigations into those incidents.
Anyone with information about Roehrs' death is asked to call the Criminal Investigations Section of the Alexandria Police Department at 703-746-6711.
10:43 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
This man was a veteran of WWII and Korea. He was 94 years old. They could have pushed him out of the way and walked over him. Instead they beat a 94 year old man to death. Arm yourselves people. RIP, Joe.
2:56 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Yeah, I'm sure a 94 year old would be able to get the drop on a burglar half or one fourth his age. Get real. All that would have happened if he had a gun is he either would have hurt himself or someone else, or the thing would have been taken from him or from his home during one of those burglaries and put out on the street. Guns, the great panacea. Snort.
Fred Radewagen
11:23 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
Seems to be little price to be paid if Fabian Johnson only got 3 years and 5 months for the McNeely murder.
2:58 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
This is either a typo or it wasn't a murder plea. There's not a judge in Northern Virginia who would give a convicted murderer a sentence of under 3 and a half years. Something's wrong with this report.
Drew Hansen
3:13 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Thanks for the comment. Johnson was sentenced to 11 years, with all but three years and five months suspended.
11:43 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
Seems odd that the police arrest the suspect in the 2012 robbery just after this tragedy. Is that just coincidence or did the police not bother to pick up this woman until her victim was murdered?
Drew Hansen
11:55 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
Thanks for the comment, Tom. Since this story was published, police have said Marie Maybell Johnson is a suspect in the murder.
Linda Lyons
2:47 pm on Friday, February 15, 2013
Isn't Holly St. very near where Nancy Dunning lived and was killed?
Drew Hansen
2:50 pm on Friday, February 15, 2013
Yes, Linda, it's just around the corner from where Dunning was murdered.

- Warm milk, and dilute the yeast in part of it. Add a tbsp of strong flour, and leave this dough until it has duplicated its volume
- Put this ferment and the rest of the ingredients excepting the butter in a food processor, and work until the dough is smooth and shiny (around 10 minutes at medium speed). Add the creamed butter and work the dough until it is elastic and comes away from the sides of the bowl. If you don't have a food processor the dough can also be worked manually.
- Cover with a cloth and leave to rise in a warm place (no more tha 37ÃÂú C) until it has doubled its volume (it takes about 1 hour)
- Flatten the douhg lightly, fill the mould and leave it until it has doubled in volume once again (about 1 hour)
- Preheat oven and bake at 170 ÃÂú for around 50 minutes. Leave to cool, cut off any excess dough overhanging the mould, and turn out the brioche. To decorate on this occasion, I have used Maltesers and powdered sugar

Poker is without doubt the most successful and popular betting and bluffing game in existence. The earliest known ancestor of Poker was a German game, called Boeckels. A French derivative of this, "Poque" is overwhelmingly the most likely etymological source for the term "Poker" which appeared in the first half of the nineteenth century and so the most obvious and likely theory for the link from the old card games to the new is simply that Poker, invented in French America, was derived directly from the French game of Poque.
The second most likely theory for the creation of Poker is that it comes from the old Persian game of "As-Nas" and inherited only the name from the French connection.
Poker was invented in New Orleans, part of the old French territory of what is now the USA. New Orleans is famous for its Mississippi leisure steamers and the game first appears to have become popular in the smokey saloons of those notorious boats. Two former gamblers have described the game existing at least as early as 1829.
The early pioneers described the game as it was then - we can call it "20 Card Poker". It was a four player game played with a 20-card pack (Aces, Kings, Queens, Jacks and Tens only), so that all the cards were dealt out. There was no draw and the five scoring combinations were melds only - i.e. no flushes or straights (runs). So the game was quite a different affair to modern Poker games and the best hand - four Aces was unbeatable.
The first reasonable description of the 52 card version of the game turned up in an 1850 version of "Hoyles book of Games" and within a decade the 20 Card game was evolved out of history and virtually disappeared. Like American Pool, this has happened a lot to different Poker versions to this day - the most recent example being that of Texas Hold'Em completely eclipsing the formerly popular game of Stud Poker.
The version played with 52 cards allowed some creative thinking in terms of the rules and permitted a variety of new additions to the rules after around 1850 including The Draw, The Flush, The Joker, The Straight and The Jackpot.
