Mat 13:1 | That day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting by the sea. | |
Mat 13:2 | And [fn]large crowds gathered to Him, so He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd was standing on the beach. | |
Mat 13:3 | And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, "Behold, the sower went out to sow; | |
Mat 13:4 | and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up. | |
Mat 13:5 | "Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil. | |
Mat 13:6 | "But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. | |
Mat 13:7 | "Others fell [fn]among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out. | |
Mat 13:8 | "And others fell on the good soil and [!] yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty. | |
Mat 13:9 | "He who has ears, [fn]let him hear." | |
Mat 13:10 | And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?" | |
Mat 13:11 | [fn]Jesus answered them, "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. | |
Mat 13:12 | "For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him. | |
Mat 13:13 | "Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. | |
Mat 13:14 | " [fn]In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, ' [fn]YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, [fn]BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; [fn]YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE; | |
Mat 13:15 | FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.' | |
Mat 13:16 | "But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. | |
Mat 13:17 | "For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. | |
Mat 13:18 | "Hear then the parable of the sower. | |
Mat 13:19 | "When anyone hears the [fn]word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road. | |
Mat 13:20 | "The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; | |
Mat 13:21 | yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the [fn]word, immediately he [fn]falls away. | |
Mat 13:22 | "And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the [fn]world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. | |
Mat 13:23 | "And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty." | |
Mat 13:24 | Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven [fn]may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. | |
Mat 13:25 | "But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed [fn]tares among the wheat, and went away. | |
Mat 13:26 | "But when the [fn]wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the tares became evident also. | |
Mat 13:27 | "The slaves of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? [fn]How then does it have tares?' | |
Mat 13:28 | "And he said to them, 'An [fn]enemy has done this!' The slaves [!] said to him, 'Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?' | |
Mat 13:29 | "But he [!] said, 'No; for while you are gathering up the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them. | |
Mat 13:30 | 'Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn."'" | |
Mat 13:31 | He presented another parable to them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; | |
Mat 13:32 | and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that THE BIRDS OF THE [fn]AIR come and NEST IN ITS BRANCHES." | |
Mat 13:33 | He spoke another parable to them, "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three [fn]pecks of flour until it was all leavened." | |
Mat 13:34 | All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them without a parable. | |
Mat 13:35 | This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: "I WILL OPEN MY MOUTH IN PARABLES; I WILL UTTER THINGS HIDDEN SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD." | |
Mat 13:36 | Then He left the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the [fn]tares of the field." | |
Mat 13:37 | And He said, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, | |
Mat 13:38 | and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; | |
Mat 13:39 | and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the [fn]end of the age; and the reapers are angels. | |
Mat 13:40 | "So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the [fn]end of the age. | |
Mat 13:41 | "The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom [fn]all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, | |
Mat 13:42 | and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. | |
Mat 13:43 | "Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, [fn]let him hear. | |
Mat 13:44 | "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. | |
Mat 13:45 | "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, | |
Mat 13:46 | and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it. | |
Mat 13:47 | "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind; | |
Mat 13:48 | and when it was filled, they drew it up on the beach; and they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away. | |
Mat 13:49 | "So it will be at the [fn]end of the age; the angels will come forth and [fn]take out the wicked from among the righteous, | |
Mat 13:50 | and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. | |
Mat 13:51 | "Have you understood all these things?" They [!] said to Him, "Yes." | |
Mat 13:52 | And [fn]Jesus said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old." | |
Mat 13:53 | When Jesus had finished these parables, He departed from there. | |
Mat 13:54 | He came to [fn]His hometown and began teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these [fn]miraculous powers? | |
Mat 13:55 | "Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? | |
Mat 13:56 | "And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?" | |
Mat 13:57 | And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his [fn]hometown and in his own household." | |
Mat 13:58 | And He did not do many [fn]miracles there because of their unbelief. |

Hours before the Ravens flew to Denver for Saturday's playoff game , the 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame were announced.
They include one of the members of the original Ravens team, tackle Jonathan Ogden, who is a finalist in his first year of eligibility.
Art Modell, the Cleveland Browns owner who moved his team to Baltimore in 1996 which became the Ravens was also a finalist. Modell died last September.
He had been criticized over the years by football writers for moving his team out of Cleveland. Many in Baltimore believe that move kept Modell out of the Hall of Fame while he was alive.
Kyle Richardson, who was a punter on the Ravens team that won the Super Bowl in 2001 calls the delay in getting Modell into the Hall of Fame, "sad."
Other finalists include single-season sacks record holder Michael Strahan, defensive tackle Warren Sapp and guard-tackle Larry Allen.
Longtime Steelers running back Jerome Bettis; receivers Cris Carter, Tim Brown and Andre Reed; LB-DEs Charles Haley and Kevin Greene; guard Will Shields; defensive back Aeneas Williams; coach Bill Parcells; and former 49ers owner Edward DeBartolo Jr. were also nominated.
The two senior nominees are defensive tackle Curley Culp and linebacker Dave Robinson.
Between four and seven new members will be selected February 2, the day before the Super Bowl, in New Orleans

Did God create evil?

Did God create evil?
I have heard a lot of discussion on this point. Some say that evil in this verse does not mean really mean "evil". What do you think?
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. |

I would like to know how to answer this. I will have a good look at Isaiah. My atheist husband says that if God exists He is evil. People I know who have children with severe disability and illness, whose lives are difficult and miserable beyond bearing say how could a good God exist who allows this terrible life for me and my child? This I do know - God is greater than evil and He will destroy evil. Phillipians 4:23 "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." |

What do you think? Yes, God is greater than evil and will destroy it eventually. That is a very good point God created the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which I think shows that He created evil for His purpose. Of course our human minds cannot understand why He would do this, but His ways are higher, for sure Here is an interesting verse: Exo 4:11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? We have severely disabled kids as well. I have never viewed it as "unbearable" or that we all have a terrible life. The boys are happy and are oblivious to their disabilities. We live day to day in the grace and mercy of God. He sees us through every minute of every day. For those who do suffer, it is part of life. It is not God's fault, but man's sin that has caused all the pain and suffering in the world. For those who blame God for not rescuing, not saving, not delivering those in such tragic circumstances, I have often asked - why should He? Why do we expect God to rescue us? He gave us so much in Christ and this world is for such a short time. Such a marvelous, awesome gift! To belong to Him is a joy, in spite of trials and pain, for we know that eternity will be without tears in Christ. Suffering is just part of life. The Bible is full of people who suffered, yet they gave glory to God. I think a trouble free life would be a curse, for our dependence on God would never be tested. How faithful He is in those times when we feel all alone and in pain. The Psalms that David wrote are such a beautiful testimony of praise to God in spite of persecution that David went through. God is good, even in the bad times. Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. |

RE: Did God create evil?
Yes, but not directly. In Genesis 1 GOD saw all that He had created was good. In Genesis 3 evil entered creation with the temptation of mankind and their choice to disbelieve GOD. By giving mankind a choice GOD indirectly created evil which brought suffering and death into creation.
Other scripture where GOD gives mankind a choice: Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. The king of Tyrus, in following scripture, is said to be referring to Satan because of the statement; Thou hast been in Eden the garden of GOD. This could be another indirect creation of evil by GOD. Verse 15 states he was created. Could this have happened between Genesis 1 and 3? Ezekiel 28:12-19 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. Since GOD created all there is; Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. and evil exists, the only conclusion would be GOD created evil. |

You mean He created evil, THEREFORE He can keep it under controle? And when the devil created it He could not? I to have a problem with: I created evil, hard to understand. When people experience problems, setbacks and misery they often say:"why me God"? I say then: "Why not you"? No one gets only blessings I think sometimes evil and awfull things happening are the consequences of wrong choises, but sickness end dead are the consequences of sin that came into the world. Emje |

RE: Did God create evil?
Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Since this is the verse we are discussing I wanted to share my own opinion on how I see this verse. If we go back to the beginning of the chapter we see that God was addressing Cyrus Isa 45:1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; As far as I know Zoroastrianism was the religion that Cyrus may have believed in.In that religion they believed that good and evil had distinct sources.Put very simply,they seemed to believe in two gods one which was supremely good and the other evil.The god of light Ahura Mazda was seen as supremely good and the god of evil, Ahraman was also known as the god of darkness.Seems to me that God through Isaiah was addressing Cyrus and thus addressing certain erroneous concepts and ideas that Cyrus may have had due to his religion. The hebrew word for evil there is rah taken from Strongs From H7489; bad or (as noun) evil (naturally or morally). This includes the second (feminine) form; as adjective or noun: - adversity, affliction, bad, calamity, + displease (-ure), distress, evil ([-favouredness], man, thing), + exceedingly, X great, grief (-vous), harm, heavy, hurt (-ful), ill (favoured), + mark, mischief, (-vous), misery, naught (-ty), noisome, + not please, sad (-ly), sore, sorrow, trouble, vex, wicked (-ly, -ness, one), worse (-st) wretchedness, wrong. [Including feminine ra'ah; as adjective or noun.] LXX related word(s) G4191 poneros G92 adikema G93 adikia G94 adikos G95 adikos G268 hamartolos G714 arkeo |

There are many verses to back this up so that there is no need to go further than this. The Hebrew word here is Ra'ah and it means EVIL and Bad. Thats it. Where ever it is used, Rah is the Opposite of Tov which is Goodness. They knew this when the Septuagint was written and they used the greek word KaKa/Kakos which means the same thing. EVIL and Wickedness. Again Romans 9 and Isaiah 29, God creates the Wicked for His Glory. And Finally, Proverbs 16:4 * The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. |

May 23rd: Lindt Excellence Caramelised Hazelnuts / Roasted Almonds
If my UK readers take a look in their supermarkets, it is likely they will see the entire Lindt Excellence milk chocolate range on some sort of offer. Lindt seem to be coupling this relaunch with some very welcome in-store discounts to entice consumers. In the FMCG business we call this a penetration drive (basically discounting products to get people to trial them!), and in my local Sainsbury's both these bars on show today were priced at a very affordable £1 each.
Before I launch give you my opinions on how these two new ones tasted, I should first pass comment on the new packaging. The actual changes are very subtle, but I think the cleaner background makes the range look more modern. Long story cut short I think the new designs are every bit as good looking as the previous, and they give the same premium brand feel of the previous with just a little bit of reinvigoration.
Lindt Excellence Caramelised Hazelnuts
Kcal ??? Fat ??? Fat(sats) ??? Carbs ???
'Lindt milk chocolate generously blended with caramelised roasted hazelnuts'
Seasoned readers will know that when it comes to hazelnuts I always prefer them to be implemented in a whole nut style rather chopped in to smaller bits. This particular chocolate was a perfect example of why I am of that way of thinking, as the small, granule like pieces of nut failed to cut through in the taste. Admittedly the cream based sweet cocoa flavours of the Lindt Excellence chocolate are stronger tasting than your average milk chocolate, but the smallness of the nut pieces hampered their input in to the taste, and they more just spoilt the texture by giving it an unwelcome grittiness. Despite the hazelnuts not having great cut through, there was still a terrific milk chocolate at the base of this bar which still made it a very tasty offering.
7.8 out of 10
Lindt Excellence Roasted Almonds
Kcal ??? Fat ??? Fat(sats) ??? Carbs ???
'Creamy milk chocolate with slivers of roasted almonds'
I should probably stop myself from trying to second guess these things, but this was one out of the two variants being showcased today that I fancied the least. As I hope you can see in the photo above these almonds nut pieces implemented in this bar were few in number, but were actually bigger in size, which surprise-surprise made them have a better influence on the taste. Just as with the previous bar the chocolate was still as gorgeously creamy, but there was an extra raft of savoury butter nut hints in the latter development of the melt. Unlike the hazelnut bits in the last bar, the smoother cut almonds didn't hamper the softness of the melt, and in comparison were pleasant to crunch on once the chocolate had melted entirely. This was a great quality milk chocolate, with a very tasty nut influence - big thumbs up!
8.8 out of 10
Overall I was never expecting to write this, but when it came to these two bars my preference firmly lay with the Roasted Almonds flavour. In the past I have tended to find hazelnut chocolates to be more flavoursome than almond ones, however this just wasn't what I experienced here. Although the hazelnut bar was disappointing, I must stress the credit that the almond bar deserves, as it was certainly one of the better almond bars I have ever tasted in the last few years of writing this site. One thing that can be said about both chocolates is that the quality of the milk chocolate is absolutely superb for the price you pay. It might not be quite as rich as some of the up market offerings like Hotel Chocolat etc, but the double cream lead taste has a terrific vanilla hinted finish, quite simply it isn't a million miles away in terms of quality. For what it is worth my recommendation would be to go for the Roasted Almond flavours if you are picking between the two - it would be great to hear some of your opinions if you have tried either.

It is nice to see them modernise the packaging, it was always nice but as you say the new fonts and brighte colours theyve used gives it a modern edge while keeping the Lindt traditional style. Neither of these appealed to me that much hence why I bought the crunchy caramel one lol but I think I'd have gone with the roast almond if I had bought one at the time - chocolate and roasted almonds are delicious, it's one thing I think Cadbury could do to the fruit and nut bar, much as I enjoy it as it is.

Im surprised to see you favour the almond bar. I thought hazelnuts were always more your thing.
- May 23, 2010
I would have thought they would have changed the packaging a bit more if they were going for a redesign. It still looks pretty much the same.
I wonder why they did change it in the first place? - May 23, 2010
These new flavours are fine but they are a bit unexciting. When you look at what some other manufactures are doing these days, milk chocolate with added bits of hazelnut and almond does come across a bit boring. Thats my opinion anyway.

I bought the caramel bar last week and thought it was really nice. For £1 a bar you can't complain about what you get. I dont fancy trying the hazelnut flavour now though. I agree they are always best whole.

Hey Jim I got back from Spain last night :) looks like I have some catching up to do. Trust you to sneak in another review on the day I dont look at the site.
I haven't tried either of these yet but I also really like the Crunchy Caramel one. It is probably my favourite Lindt bar already. - May 23, 2010
I think the new packaging looks very nice. When you compare it to the old ones they look simpler with less clutter.

I don't usually bother with Lindt for milk chocolate. I find chocolate like Galaxy just as nice so I see little point in paying more for the brand name.
A bar I am curious about trying though is the dark chocolate and sea salt. That sounds like an odd pairing if ever there was one. - May 23, 2010
£1 a pop you can't go wrong. This deal is still all systems go in Sainsburys.
- May 23, 2010
We need a price comparison chocolate website :) Loads of people seem to comment each day about how much stuff costs.
It seems like the barrier to why people try things or don't if you look over the course of time.
I'm not that impressed by this new Lindt packaging. I think they could have done something a little more with it. - May 23, 2010
I just read your review of the caramel bar from Lindt and I totally agree with the score of over nine.
These sound a bit more boring when you compare them. I have never been able to taste the difference between almonds and hazelnuts anyway. - May 23, 2010
£1 for 100 grams is a bargain for lindt. When you think that a Mars bar which is about 50 grams costs more than 50p, you are getting more for your money for one of these.
How much do they cost normally out of interest? - May 23, 2010
I've had the hazelnut one but didn't bother with the almond as I too thought it would be boring. Almonds tend to taste too dry in chocolate bars I find. However since it sounds like it's the better of the two, I think I'll give it a try!
I thought the hazelnut one was very tasty but agree that it didn't have much flavour. Infact it barely tasted of hazelnut to me. All varieties are currently £1 at Morrisons.
@Katie S - I know it's a matter of taste and all but I personally find Lindt milk chocolate far superior to Galaxy. It has a smoother melt, especially the extra creamy bar. - May 23, 2010
Lol I bought the hazelnut one of this yesterday looking at this I should have gone for the almond DOH. I was looking at them both for ages weighing up which I should buy. You were a day late with this one Jim booo.
- May 23, 2010
Jim I have two words for you 'cornetto enigma'.
You need to do some ice cream reviews this year. I think someone asked last year but you weren't keen were you? - May 23, 2010
Is it just me or do those hazelnuts look more like chocolate drops?
The 100g bars are usually 1.95€ (that's £1.7) on Lindt's online shop. So at £1, it's 41-42% off...
@Duncan: Grrr! I've seen the pictures on the internet, they look absolutely amazing, but we don't get the Enigma here... at least not yet. And the Vanilla-Cocolate & Almond Sauce Centre sounds... beyond delicious... - May 23, 2010
I think the best Lindt bar is the mint intense. I love my dark choc and mint chocolates but normally you have to buy them in sugary fondant bars. Lindt are like the only brand to do a lovely mint dark choc.
- May 23, 2010
- Alicia said...
All this talk of ice cream and Lindt has got me thinking. I bet a magnum type ice cream with Lindt chocolate would be all sorts of amazingness.
- May 23, 2010
Lindt never fail, they can always ensure high quality.
- May 23, 2010
- Nigel said...
Thanks for the review Jim I will be sure to give the almond bar a try now.
@Justin if you look on the net it looks like they cost about £1.49 normally. It depends what retailer you use though. - May 23, 2010
- Jim said...
I thought you would like the updated packaging. It isn't much different to the originals b ut like I said in the reviews Istill think they look a bit cleaner than previously.
I too would like to see what the fruit and nut would be like with Almond. I do actually have a Cadbury with roasted almond review upcoming :D
I do generally tend to find that I prefer hazelnut chocolates to almond ones.
They could have gone a bit more extreme with the redesign but I didn't think they need to change it much anyway.
I think they just wanted to modernise the look the packaging a bit.
I know they aren't the most exciting flavours we have ever seen but sometimes the simpler ones turn out to be the better chocolates. Not all the crazy flavours are as good as Zotters now.
£1 for a bar of the Crunchy Caramel is an absolute bargain. Stock up whilst you can. I hope I haven't put you off the hazelnut bar completely - it would be interesting to see what you think yourself.
Good to see you travelled back safely. Thanks for continuing to look at my site whilst you were away.
The Crunchy Caramel is one of my favourites as well :D It is the best chocolate if you want hard caramel rather that the soft liquid stuff.
I would agree they do look less cluttered. They didn't need changing in my opinion, but the changes they did make were for the better so it's ok I guess.
Really? I beg to differ. I find Lindt chocolate has more flavour to it than some of the more mass produced chocolates.
I would highly recommend the Lindt with a touch of salt chocolate. I saw it on sale in Sainsburys the other day so if you a need source for it take a look there.
Indeed - I would suggest you all take advantage of it whilst you can. There can't be long left to run in this deal.
You could just use www.mysupermarket.co.uk that is as good as any site for food price comparisons.
I agree they could have done a bit more with the packaging redesign if they were being bolder. Like I keep saying though I didn't think there was much wrong with the originals so them not changing much wasn't an issue for me.
Really? I think hazelnuts and almonds vary quite massivelly in terms of taste.
I am glad you thought similarly about the crunchy caramel. It is one of my all time favourite milk chocolate bars. - May 23, 2010
- Jim said...
It is brilliant value for money isn't it. I like the point you make about the Mars bar. You would be lucky to find a Mars bar priced at 50p down south mind you :D
These Lindt bars usually cost about £1.50 I believe.
In regards to the hazelnut one, Lindt are lucky their milk chocolate tastes so damn good because without that the hazelnuts wouldn't have created enough flavour.
Lindt are really going all out with these promotions aren't they. I just looked on the websites of Asda, Tesco and Waitrose though and they don't seem to be doing this £1 deal.
Everyone needs to go to Sainsburys or Mozzas to feel their boots then.
I agree about the Galaxy / Lindt thing. I also think the Lindt chocolate is a bit fresher tasting.
Haha sorry. I didn't plan it like that. Why not give the almond one a try now?
I am still of the view that I don't want to dip in to ice creams. I have enough difficulty staying up to date with the chocolate market let alone the ice cream one. One day maybe!?
Re: Cornetto Enigma - I have tried one and yes it was damn good. You should try the new Magnum Gold if you like Caramac.
Perhaps you will get the Enigma next year? Sometimes other countries are a year behind getting the latest ice creams from certain manufactures ahem :D
It could just be my photos that aren't showing off the hazelnuts properly. Trust me they did look right in real life.
I like that bar. Have you seen my review? I wouldn't say they are the only brand to make a nice mint dark chocolate, but yeh theirs is certainly very good indeed.
Magnum do a variety that uses posh Ecuadorian chocolate I think. I haven't ever tried it though. I do like white chocolate magnums ... actually lets be honest I love all magnum flavours.
Indeed more often than not they do deliver high quality. Like all brands though they aren't perfect.
I look forward to hearing what you think of it.
Good to hear I was right about the £1.50 thing.
Thanks everyone - I hope you all had great weekends. It was so damn hot wasn't it. Hotel Chocolat and all sorts coming up this week.

you can't deny the greatness of Lindt, I tend to buy their chocolate hampers if i'm honest. My other half has begun rationing my chocolate intake though so it's a case of stealth chocolate consumption.

About This Book
Promoting walking and cycling proposes solutions to one of the most pressing problems in contemporary British transport planning. The need to develop more sustainable urban mobility lies at the heart of energy and environmental policies and has major implications for the planning of cities and for the structure of economy and society. However, most people feel either unable or unwilling to incorporate travel on foot or by bike into their everyday journeys. This book uses innovative quantitative and qualitative research methods to examine in depth, and in an international and historical context, why so many people fail to travel in ways that are deemed by most to be desirable. It proposes evidence-based policy solutions that could increase levels of walking and cycling substantially. This book is essential reading for planners and policy makers developing and implementing transport policies at both national and local levels, plus researchers and students in the field of mobility, transport, sustainability and urban planning.

Pros And Cons Of Dressage Saddles
The market is chock-a-bloc with horse riding necessities, and it could be a serious pain in the neck selecting something when you're out to buy. When you are a beginner, whether you are buying at a physical store or online, the variety you run across may leave you in a state of total undecided confusion. As you get more experienced, naturally, you will develop a real knowledge of exactly what you want and whereabouts to find it, though even at this point, you will hesitate over the limitless selections available.
You'll probably have the most difficulty in selecting saddles. Off-the-shelf saddles are fine for general purpose use, for most horse-related activities and for horses and riders of all ages, abilities and experience levels.
But the off-the-shelf generalpurpose saddle has its uses, but it is not at all acceptable for specialized use. Employing a general purpose saddle for a specialist equine event is like employing a family sedan in a Formula 1 event. Every specialised saddle is made for a specific equine discipline and a specific riding style. These saddles come with features that reinforce the performance of the pony and its rider. Like the name implies, the general saddle is a product that is supposed to suit all purposes without suiting any one purpose in particular. The all-purpose saddle can't meet the more refined needs of advanced horse riding at the highly competitive or professional level. Every discipline calls for a particular kind of saddle. Consider the dressage saddle. Obviously, it is designed especially for dressage events, and the features incorporated in it may not make it appropriate for any other equine discipline. As a serious dressage rider, you aren't going to get the maximum out of yourself or your pony if you are not utilizing the right saddle.
The cantle and pommel are higher than ordinary, and the panels are wider, with less padding. This permits the rider to maintain close touch contact with the pony and that in turn makes sure better coordination between the rider and the pony.
For perfect performance in dressage, the rider's legs stretch out almost straight down below him. This is facilitated in dressage saddles by long saddle flaps that are straight cut and stirrup bars that are set somewhat further back than normal to make it simple for the rider to keep his knee down and his thigh back. The dressage saddle's straight cut architecture also grants a good deal of freedom round the shoulder area to the pony.
Another feature of dressage saddles is longer billet straps and shorter girths that go around the horse's stomach. This allows the rider to keep closely in touch with the horse through leg cues, as the buckles do not get in the way of the rider's legs.
While they're great aids, dressage saddles are an absolute must: lots of riders have been observed to ride as well as participate in dressage events all through their lives, using just general purpose saddles. Dressage saddles are really most appropriate for riders and horses who concentrate on the highly advanced levels of dressage. If you are an all round competitor who features in more than one equestrian discipline like hunting and show jumping, you won't find it worth purchasing a dressage saddle.
If you buy a custom saddle for each event you want to participate in, you might find yourself laden with several saddles, which will naturally add significantly to your cleaning and maintaining chores!
From the other perspective, if you are dead serious about dressage as the one pony riding discipline you completely wish to master, then laying out some money on a top quality dressage saddle would likely pay off.

Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants. |
My health and fitness history has been a long, complicated, confusing history and I feel as if for once, I feel in control and happy about my lifestyle choices and I feel good about my body. I take very seriously the fact that your body is your instrument and since you are only given one body, it's important to take care of it. I'm still learning but I'd like to continue feeling and looking healthy, and this blog is a way for me to stay on track to do it. Also, this is pretty much strictly my food/exercise blog. I have a personal blog as well, so if you're interested just shoot me a message! :) |

Thousands and thousands of gallons of milk were on track to be wasted at the bankrupt Golden Guernsey plant until WISN 12 News brought the situation to light Thursday.
Now, more than eight truckloads of milk and related products is in the process of being moved from the dairy and distributed out to the needy statewide.
In a WISN 12 News exclusive, reporter Nick Bohr said it's a victory for the Hunger Task Force and those in need.
It's a sight the Hunger Task Force couldn't have imagined a week ago -- thousands of gallons of milk, flowing in to their system -- and out nearly as quickly -- into the homes and bodies of the needy.
"We're feeling really good. Golden Guernsey did close, and that's sad news for Wisconsin, but the good news is that we're going to be able to bring full semi loads of milk that is still good out to the community, and to our surrounding communities and even the state of Wisconsin," Hunger Task Force Executive Director Sherrie Tussler said.
Because the entire dairy is now an asset in bankruptcy court, when WISN12 News brought the situation to her attention, Tussler had to navigate a lot of red tape, but was able to get the go-ahead on what's easily one of their largest donations ever.
"There are tons and tons of milk and milk-related products all over the dairy. A lot of the product is actually school-based milk, so there are smaller half-pint cartons. But there are also quarts and gallons of milk, whole milk, 1 percent. There are flavored milks and milk-related products like cottage cheese and sour cream," Tussler said.
In the early morning Tuesday, their trucks started to arrive at the dairy and started moving out the milk. It's going to take a big effort to get it to the needy before it's too late.
"We've got 10 days, literally. So, this is something people shouldn't think, 'Oh, I'll get to it next week.' This is shelf-perishable product. It's not stable like this. It needs to get out and it needs to get out as quickly as possible," Tussler said.
Wisconsin has a good Samaritan law that relieves donors of food of any liability in the event someone should get ill. That seemed to be the clincher in getting the go ahead on the Golden Guernsey milk, which otherwise would've simply gone to waste.
Now they're in need of some semitrucks and drivers who can help distribute the milk.

Take A Look Inside Sophie Buhai's Intriguing, Eclectic Pad
By Brenna Egan, Photographed by Luke Wooden
What makes your Silver Lake pad home to you?
"I'm a huge homebody, so my house is kind of like my personal walk-in shrine. Mostly everything in the space was either found at a weird estate sale, or given to me by a friend. The couch set in the living room was my parents' wedding furniture back in the day. It's Italian, from the '70s, and very disco-meets-Santa Fe. The art on the walls was made by friends. I try very hard to be a minimalist, but if you open up a drawer, you'll realize I'm just pretending!"
Sophie peeks out of the glass doors of her all-white bedroom, wearing a vintage Betsy Johnson top, Viva Vena! pants, Robert Clergerie loafers, a vintage necklace, and Hermès watch.

Jeremy Lin: The $170 Million Man
NEW YORK (TheStreet -- New York Knick point guard Jeremy Lin is a one-man economic recovery that even Ben Bernanke couldn't dream up in his Federal Reserve meetings.
Lin-sanity has taken the country by storm and as a result created a spending frenzy that's benefiting a broad range of companies, tax rolls and even the stock market. Lin's salary this season is a modest (by NBA standards) $800,000, but by some calculations, he's turned into the $170 million man. The most tangible impact has been on the market cap of Madison Square Garden (MSG) , whose stock has jumped 7% to close Thursday at $31.87 from its close at $29.77 on Feb. 7 when Lin first entered the Knicks' starting lineup. That translates to a $170 million to the company's market cap to $2.4 billion.
Neither the Rangers, currently sporting the best record in the NHL's Eastern conference, or The Westminster Dog Show can take credit for that. Apologies to Malachy.
But there's more of an impact to consider. Ticket prices for Knick games are estimated to have jumped more than 25% in the resale market. That means all the online ticket sellers are seeing an increase in their bottom lines.
Plus, it isn't just the tickets in New York that have increased, the tickets sales have gone up while the Knicks are on the road.
"We've seen an increase of 10x in site traffic and ticket sales," says Joellen Errer, head of communications at online ticket seller Stub Hub. "Page views, search activities increased. As soon as he hit the game winning three-pointer on Tuesday, prices have risen 2-3x."
Stub Hub is an eBay(EBAY) company, which if you were wondering, a Jeremy Lin search brings up more than 11,000 results.
"It's a combination of all factors, the Knicks are on the largest stage and it's a turnaround story," Errer continued. "Then there's the the mommy test. If Mom has heard of him, then he's past the sports headline and into the everyday news."
Then there's the retail aspect. Jerseys are $58 and practice T-shirts are $25. Local sports retailer Modell's says Lin merchandise is flying out the store.
Lin's no. 17 jersey is the NBA's top online seller since Feb. 4, and Knicks' merchandise sales are also no. 1 since Lin entered the lineup. Lin won't receive anything from merchandise sales -- that goes to the NBA and the team.

As tax season rolls around again in the US and UK, it seems like a good time to revisit the perils taxpayers face seemingly every year at around this time.
Phishing attacks against taxpayers are already in full swing — not that they haven't been going continuously since last year. But this is high season for scams involving Web pages that look like the IRS or HMRC's own Web site.
Scam messages typically contain dire warnings or outrageously large promises for a refund. The messages often are presented as if they originate from a tax authority, but contain links leading to phishing Web pages, or malicious attached files.
These scam pages typically appear to look exactly like a page on the real IRS or HMRC Web site. If you receive such a message, don't reply to the sender, don't email any sensitive information, and don't follow any link in the message.
The pages promise to automatically transfer a tax refund to the recipient's bank account, if you only would provide the scam artist with your complete banking, credit card, and personal details.

The first pictures on display at the Willy Brandt Haus are of liquidators, to whom Rüdiger Lubricht dedicates his exhibition Chernobyl, Lost Places / Shattered Biographies: 19 color portraits accompanied by their respective stories.
Approximately 800,000 liquidators, for the most part firemen, policemen or soldiers, risked their lives while helping to control the damage from the Chernobyl nuclear reactor during the meltdown of 1986 and the subsequent years of cleaning and controlling further disaster. Several have since perished, others are still fighting illnesses that developed from the high exposure to radioactivity. In the form of a story told with images and text, this is not just a display of personal biographies, but also, and foremost, a personalized summary of what the catastrophe meant and still means for survivors and direct witnesses.
The exhibition continues on the second floor with photos taken in the city of Pripjet, a modern-day ghost city where time stopped. A large carnival Ferris wheel surrounded by trees; the inside of a nursery school with toys scattered everywhere; an empty pool or a restaurant: everything evokes the people that were once here and who, in three day's time, had to leave everything behind. There are also pictures of people returning to their villages after the evacuation, despite the danger: for the most part older people still living in their homes (like the two sisters born in the 1920's), and who, with their presence, seem to repute radiation's devastating effects.
Other pictures map out the forbidden zone or even deadly zone, where Pripjet was located, an abandoned 10 km² perimeter around the reactor: beautiful landscapes, old ruined houses and other signs of normal life eclipsed by the absence of inhabitants.
Since 2003, Rüdiger Lubricht has been working on Chernobyl and has traveled 16 times to the Ukraine and Belarus.
A catalog was published for this exhibition with the German title: Verlorene Orte | Gebrochene Biografien, Fotografien von Rüdiger Lubricht – IBB Dortmund Verlag, €25.

This is a great jacket for snowboarding and it has a ton of pockets to keep all your stuff organized and dry. The DriClime lining in the collar and down the back are a really nice touch too!
Do you guys do replacement hoods for the jacket? I lost mine during my last trip to the snow=(

Sometimes the final box score isn't always the best indicator on performances.
UCLA's Datone Jones recorded three tackles for a loss last week against Nebraska, including a momentum-swinging safety in the fourth quarter. He's off to a strong start with nine tackles with one sack and a forced fumble this season.
Jones, a senior, undoubtedly is anchoring the defensive line, but the rest of the line has made subtle contributions that have probably gone unnoticed to everyone except defensive line coach Angus McClure.
Owa Odighizuwa was solid backing up Jones and Cassius Marsh on both sides. Marsh recorded one tackle, but he was solid providing contain on the run.
"Cassius did a nice job of locking down the right side," McClure said. "You noticed Nebraska became more of a right-handed running team. It's because Cassius did a nice job on the run."
And then there are unsung heroes like Seali'i Epenesa, who as a nose tackle in the 3-4 scheme takes a beating in the middle. He draws constant double teams and is responsible for plugging the gaps and jumping into running lanes.
"Playing nose guard is a different animal," McClure said.
Epenesa sacrifices his body, but nobody seems to notice.
"The guy that was unnoticed but had the best game better than all of them was Epenesa," McClure said. "He did an outstanding job on their center. He owned their center."
Epenesa established himself by getting great push up front. His
"He's always double teamed," McClure said. "He's a guy that's not going to get a tremendous amount of attention or tackles or sacks because he's always being double teamed. For a guy to take control of their center and take control of that "A" gap like he did is just tremendous work."
Epenesa's prints were everywhere, but never more evident than at the start of the second half.
On the first play, Epenesa made a strong push on center Justin Jackson. As Nebraska running back Ameer Abdullah came rushing up the middle, Epenesa took his eye off Jackson and centered on Abdullah. Epenesa extended his left arm and zeroed in on the tackle. Abdullah fumbled and Tevin McDonald scooped up the ball.
On UCLA's next drive, freshman Ka'imi Fairbairn converted a 22-yard field goal to give the Bruins a 27-24 lead.
"Seali'i squeezed the center and knocked the ball out," McClure said. "That's just good instinct. He's done nothing but get better this season."
No letdown
With so much talk about the Bruins' national ranking and Johnathan Franklin's Heisman chances, UCLA coach Jim Mora said remaining focused is key. Now is not the time for UCLA to get complacent, he says.
"Complacency is a killer and I think it's just important to avoid it in your life if possible," Mora said, "and certainly in a competitive environment like this where you're operating in front of people that are going to judge you."
Media policy explained
In light of what transpired over the last couple days regarding Scott Wolf of the Daily News being banned for two weeks from USC practice and games for reporting on injuries, Mora was asked to give his perspective on why the school has instituted a media policy of reporting on injuries.
"We at UCLA appreciate the jobs you guys do," Mora said. "We understand how hard it is and we want to give you information necessary to do your job. You guys, especially you, come out here every stinking day, rain or shine, hot or cold. You were at San Bernardino.
"We want to help you do your job, but at the same time we have to protect what we're doing. So if we can provide our opponent with a competitive advantage because we're providing them injury information, that's just not a positive for our program. We just have to balance what's good for our fans, what's good for you guys and what's good for the public with what's good for our football team."
Earlier this week, Houston coach Tony Levine told reporters in Houston that the Cougars will go into Saturday's game against the Bruins without two offensive line starters.
Advantage, Bruins.

I learned how to ski on the east coast.
Correction: I learned how to downhill ice skate on the east coast. The loud CHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH of ski edges begging the ice for some grip are all too familiar to me.
Cue a trip to Utah. Bigger. Better. Mormon(ish).
I headed out there with an ex-coworker friend of mine who I worked with back in the days of shit-eating in trade support at a hedge fund. I like reminiscing about those soul-crushing times because it makes me happy that I'll never again have to deal with the abhorrent personalities that the industry tends to create. You know the type: People with chips on their shoulders that can't bear the thought of people who haven't ascribed to the misery of the ugly house in the suburbs, the crazy wife and kid, the outer-borough commute, the fantasy football league talk by people who don't play sports, etc. There are exceptions to that type, but the experience of working in that environment was rendered rotten by the former.
I love vacations that let you forget about your responsibilities for a few days. You don't think about rent, paychecks, Metrocards, health insurance, and issues at work. Going to Park City, Utah is the perfect antithesis to the city. Tons of space, tons of snow, room to breathe.
The day-to-day in the city overruns your senses with static- you're subject to a constant barrage of input. It makes you numb after a while. The occasional tryst with nature is exactly what the run-down New Yorker needs to get their game face back.
We skied the Canyons resort for 3 solid days. For some east-coast perspective: it's 4 times the size of Killington. We skiied about 5 solid hours a day and didnt get bored after 3 days. The views are epic, and there's a ton of mountain to explore. The runs are way longer than out east, and they're steeper and wider as well. As a side note- make sure you hit the gym a few times before skiing, your legs will thank you.
Après ski is a blast: The douchey nomenclature for happy hour. You can almost see the Tucker Max-like character nonchalantly mentioning it on the slopes. Might as well play the part.
I now see why being a ski bum is so appealing. Wake up, eat, ski, eat, ski, drink, eat, sleep, repeat.
PS: the award for Best Utah beer name goes out to Polygamy Porter. In addition to being hilarious, its delicious (assuming you like chocolaty porters)

"24/7 365 HUSTLER"- Everyone involved in some type of 'come up' wants to be
Recognized as the one who got his or her grind on 24/7 no matter the weather or
Circumstances. However, this slogan is one that we all can relate to because it can
Apply to ones everyday living, which can vary from a nine to five onto a 'flat
foot hustler'!
