Specialist Strike Package a rip off of Black Ops?
Like (0)
Anyone who's played Black Ops (which I know most of you have) have experienced the reward for completing an easter egg in one of the zombies maps after Shangri-La - all 7(8 in Moon) Perks for that level until the game ends.
In MW3, we have the Strike Package which rewards us with perks instead of killing machines for killstreaks. At an 8 killstreak you will have every single perk in the game.
Both games have a system where the player receives multiple perks for completing an action, but Black Ops was released first. Have IW stolen this idea from 3arc and slapped it onto MP? (A freakin AWESOME idea, can't see why 3arc didn't do it in the first place)
I'm not trying to demean IW or anything, but I seriously don't believe this is coincidence. Sure, the Strike Package sounds as beast as the Golden AK-47 from CoD4, but where did it originate from? Ideas?
Is it really that big of a deal? Developers do this kind of thing all the time (and considering that, in this case, both developers share the same assets for the series...).
No. Yes. Maybe...
I heard this before i never played zombies really. If you didnt know IW and 3arc do work together somewhat together. So it could of been or it could of jus been coincidence. The idea is kinda basic so its like 50/50 that they got the idea from 3arc. As for the Strike Package thing its just the same situation. They take ideas from the community and also there own.
+I like it because you change them as you change your class. Like in some situation on other COD games I wish I had on another killstreak set up. With this you can do it in game. Just simply change classes and you got another setup. Im sure it was an original Idea.
Well of course, I just wanted a good and hearty discussion of something completely out of line after all the trolls roaming around.
But yes, I knew 3arc and IW work together, but I believe this is completely fanbased more than anything else. Trying to go stealthy in objective really sucked because you open yourself up to explosives (i.e. grenades and tubes)
What about it, friend?
Each year it is obvious things are takenfrom each, removed, moved around, things are innovated and added. Noticed stopping power is also gone? This is a damn good idea, maybe he was playing zombies and realized how bad ass it was, but it isn't stealing as much as trying something new and keeping things that were good, (the removal of stopping power, danger close, weakening of tubes) which was all in black ops.
Edit: CoD is a very malleable game that reforms with each release, and each company/release just adds on or reforms the current content to try and fit itself as completely as possible.
Well if IW/SL were smart, then they would've known keeping SP in MP would've been catastrophic for their game, so they added it to the base of every weapon like 3arc did since it got so much positive feedback.
Meh on the word stealing. It's just a term I decided to use. Would "borrowed" be a more likable term for you? I know companies "borrow" ideas (we all know BF's vehicles thing was derived from the Halo series) but it's really rare for developers of the same franchise to use each other's ideas. For example, people loved being able to choose their perks, yet IW didn't keep the currency idea in their game.
The currency system was a trash gimmick IMO, glad it is gone. ANd I have no idea what you are tlaking about, built into the guns? BO had weak as **** weapons that were obviously missing stopping power, unloading a whole clip into somebody isn't fun, and MW3 also does not have stopping power, but the guns are beefed up (but not to the same damage level)
Ah. I get what you mean. You see, I never played BO MP much because of all of the sync issues which completely ruined the game. I can see why the tryhards are glad to see it go. I am too, but some really loved the perk thing, which I agree on - just not including everything needing to be bought with currency. Goes to Darnell also.
Not alot of people liked it. I hated it. Kinda killed the purpose of leveling and the fact it felt like I had to budget on a fps.
And it just led to everybody instantly buying ghost and nothing else.
There's also the fact that that the perk was released in the DLC just one week before MW3 was revealed at CoD XP (with the Specialist strike package in-game).
I'm sure it was either random circumstance or an idea shared between the devs.
Shangri-La was released in August...
Development tells that the idea was thought of around February.
Well i dont know if you can call it a borrowed idea since they both work on the same game just different time frame and other things. Plus how do you know that 3arc didnt get a wind of the idea and implement it themselves in the DLC?
Also IW introduced perks, attachements, KS, camos, custom classes, equipment and prolly more i cant think of at the momement. Taking an idea and making it their own is not a big deal and i dont actually think they took it from 3arc.

VA IT Hiring Spree
BY BOB BREWIN 01/05/11 01:16 pm ET
Buff up those resumes. The Veterans Affairs Department's Office of Information & Technology plans to hire 705 IT professionals between now and April 22, according to an internal Dec. 22, 2010 memo that popped up in my inbox.
This hiring sprint -- which the IT shop has dubbed Race to 705 -- focuses on high priority, but undefined positions in just three unspecified locations. VA says it seeks out the "best and the brightest" and plans to hire them through a two-week streamlined procedure.
A new slide in housing prices has begun in earnest, with averages in major cities across the country falling to their lowest point in many years.
Prices in 20 major metropolitan areas slid 1 percent in November from October, according to the Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller Home Price Index released Tuesday. The index has fallen 1.6 percent from a year ago.
Nine of the 20 cities in the index sank in November to new lows for this economic cycle: Chicago; Las Vegas; Detroit; Atlanta; Seattle; Charlotte, N.C.; Miami; Tampa; Fla.; and Portland, Ore. Only a handful of places — essentially, California and the District of Columbia — went counter to the trend and had rising prices over the last year.
Whether the long-predicted double dip is looming or has already arrived is a quibble of semantics.
David M. Blitzer, chairman of S.& P.'s Index Committee, does not count a downturn as a double dip until it exceeds the previous low. The index is still 3.3 percent above the low it reached in April 2009. Mr. Blitzer thinks a double dip could be confirmed before spring.
"We shouldn't kid ourselves," he said. "The last few months have been weak."

New U.S. home sales soared in December
Monthly gain raising cautious optimism for housing market recovery
WASHINGTON — New U.S. single-family home sales soared in December, rising faster than expected to their highest level in eight months.
Early Wednesday, the Commerce Department said sales jumped 17.5 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted 329,000 unit annual rate after a downwardly revised 280,000-unit pace in November. Prices in December were the highest since April 2008, raising cautious optimism for a housing market recovery.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast new home sales rising to a 300,000-unit pace in December from a previously reported 290,000 unit rate.
vision-master wrote:All the boomers are retiring, just replacing existing work force.
[...] In addition, the industry has increased its hiring activity in response to improving traffic levels, according to the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
Monthly data submitted by the railroads to the Surface Transportation Board, the federal agency overseeing the industry, showed that overall rail employment rose in December by 5.2 percent over the year-earlier period. [...]
The Congressional Budget Office is estimating that the federal budget deficit will hit $1.5 trillion this year, another new record.
The non-partisan budget agency is also predicting that next year's budget deficit will drop to $1.1 trillion.
The new report comes a day after President Obama pledged to work with congressional Republicans to reduce budget deficits and accumulated federal debt.
It also comes as Congress soon decides on raising the federal government's $14.3 trillion debt ceiling, a move some Republicans are resisting unless it is accompanied by major spending cuts from the administration.
The Associated Press notes that the higher deficit estimate reflects "bipartisan legislation passed in December that extended Bush-era tax cuts, unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless and provided a 2 per cent payroll tax cut this year. That measure added almost $400 billion to this year's deficit, the CBO says."
It is a record deficit in dollar terms, and almost equals the 10% of GDP overspend recorded by Washington in 2009 at the depth of the recession.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) revised up an earlier deficit estimate of $1.07tn after President Obama agreed a new stimulus package with Congress.
That package extended Bush-era tax cuts and prolonged unemployment benefits.
"The United States faces daunting economic and budgetary challenges," said the CBO in the introduction to its latest budget outlook report.
VK, roving reporter for The Automatic Earth, has been playing with the numbers from the January 7 employment report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It seems valuable to look at unemployment from this, a different, angle. Some of it may even surprise you.
The total non institutional civilian labor force (Americans 16 years and older who are not in a institution -criminal, mental, or other types of facilities- or an active military duty) is reported as 238.889 million. Of these, we see:
* Employed: 139.206 million people (58.3% of labor force)
* Unemployed: 14.485 million people (6.1% of labor force)
Obviously, that can't be the total picture, we're only at 64.4%. This is why:
* Part time employed for economic reasons: 8.931 million people. This concerns people who want a full-time job but can't get one.
* Part time employed for non-economic reasons: 18.184 million people. Non-economic reasons include school or training, retirement or Social Security limits on earnings, but also childcare problems and family or personal obligations.
But the by far largest category "missing" from both the Employed and Unemployed statistics is the "Not In Labor Force": 85.2 Million people.
The BLS definition states: "Not in the labor force (NILF). A person who did not work last week, was not temporarily absent from a job, did not actively look for work in the previous 4 weeks, or looked but was unavailable for work during the reference week; in other words, a person who was neither employed nor unemployed." (Clearly, this does include lot of unemployed people).
To summarize: 108.616 million people in America are either unemployed, underemployed or "Not in the labor force". This represents 45.5% of working age Americans.
If you count the "Part time employed for non-economic reasons", you get 126.8 million Americans who are unemployed, underemployed, working part time or "Not in the labor force". That represents 53% of working age Americans.
So only 47% of working age Americans have full time jobs. While the official unemployment rate is 9.4%. Something's missing somewhere.
RealtyTrac is out with the total foreclosure numbers for 2010. On the whole things are getting worse.
72 percent of major metro areas saw an increase in foreclosure volume. Although some of the worst hit areas in Nevada, California and Florida improved from 2009, the foreclosure rate in these areas remains shockingly high. If not for some foreclosure suspensions due to the robosigning scandal, these numbers would have been higher.
For a frightening way to visualize the foreclosure crisis, we're borrowing a Google maps technique described by Barry Ritholtz.
In the week ending Jan. 22, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 454,000, an increase of 51,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 403,000. The 4-week moving average was 428,750, an increase of 15,750 from the previous week's revised average of 413,000.
The advance seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate was 3.2 percent for the week ending Jan. 15, an increase of 0.1 percentage point from the prior week's unrevised rate of 3.1 percent.
The advance number for seasonally adjusted insured unemployment during the week ending Jan. 15 was 3,991,000, an increase of 94,000 from the preceding week's revised level of 3,897,000. The 4-week moving average was 3,975,500, a decrease of 39,750 from the preceding week's revised average of 4,015,250.
The advance number of actual initial claims under state programs, unadjusted, totaled 482,399 in the week ending Jan. 22, a decrease of 67,491 from the previous week. There were 502,710 initial claims in the comparable week in 2010.
The advance unadjusted insured unemployment rate was 3.7 percent during the week ending Jan. 15, unchanged from the prior week. The advance unadjusted number for persons claiming UI benefits in state programs totaled 4,593,535, a decrease of 58,900 from the preceding week. A year earlier, the rate was 4.3 percent and the volume was 5,602,357.
The total number of people claiming benefits in all programs for the week ending Jan. 8 was 9,410,977.
<snip>The Household Index of Poverty is the most sensitive calculation of U.S. economic performance and it is rising faster than at any time in history. Poverty in America rose 43% under her leadership, from November 2006 to November 2010.
The Household Index of Poverty is a simple, equal-weighted calculation of the five important statistics regarding poverty: The first two address inflation (food and fuel), the next two include the impact of unemployment (U6 Underemployment and Food Stamp demand) and the last is the Federal Debt, which is the long-term poverty statistic for all households.

Strong acceleration in US economic momentum is becoming impossible to deny.
Chicago Purchasing Managers reported today that the Chicago ISM PMI accelerated to a reading of 68.8 -- its highest level since July 1988. The Chicago PMI has the strongest correlation to the national PMI. Some highlights were:
* Employment index strengthened to a height not seen since May 1984;
* New Orders index increased to the highest point since December 1983;
* The Production index improved to 73.7 from 72.2, while new orders rose to 75.7 from 71.3. The barometer of production along with new orders rose to its highest level since 2004.
* Order backlogs are breaking out to multi-year highs while lead times for MRO supplies plummeted.
* The Employment index showed a marked improvement, rising from 58.4 to 64.1, which represents a multi-year high.
In other news today, the Commerce Department reported that consumer spending surged 0.7% in December. The increase was made possible by a 0.3% increase in personal income and a decrease in the personal savings rate to 5.3% from 5.5%.
As Congress and the White House ramp up their job-creation rhetoric, a growing number of long-term unemployed workers is slowing the pace of the expanding economy and weighing heavily on efforts to reduce the federal budget deficit.
A recent report by Pew's Fiscal Analysis Initiative shows 30 percent, or 4.2 million of the 14 million, of those who are jobless have been unemployed for a year or more — the federal government defines long-term unemployed as six months or longer — the highest percentage since World War II as of December 2010.
In the last year, the number of long-term unemployed is up 25 percent, from the 3.4 people affected in December 2009, according to the report.
During the severe recession of the early 1980s, the percentage of workers unemployed for six months or longer peaked at 26 percent in 1983.
The nation's jobless rate has remained above 9 percent for the past 20 months. The federal government has continued to provide federal emergency and extended benefits beyond the 26-week limit offered by states, which the Congressional Budget Office says will cost $129 billion this year.
Lawmakers have battled over continued extensions of unemployment benefits with Republicans who insist the program be paid for. Democrats, meanwhile, argue that providing jobless insurance should be considered emergency spending.
The federal government has also increased food assistance and has paid for a greater share of healthcare coverage for those who have been without work for a long time.
The effects of unemployment also reduce federal revenue and potentially lower productivity.
In the current fiscal year, federal spending on unemployment benefits is projected to be five times greater than it was in each of the years immediately preceding the recession. Between 2005 and 2007, when the unemployment rate hovered around 5 percent, federal spending on unemployment insurance ranged between $31 billion and $33 billion, the report said.
I usually find the quarterly homeowner vacancy and homeownership report from Census pretty lackluster, but the latest one released this morning was anything but.
America's home ownership rate, after holding steady for a while, took a pretty big plunge in Q4, from 66.9 percent to 66.5 percent. That's down from the 2004 peak of 69.2 percent and the lowest level since 1998.
Homeownership is falling at an alarming pace, despite the fact that home prices have fallen, affordability is much improved and inventories of new and existing homes are still running quite high.
Bargains abound, but few are interested or eligible to take advantage.
More concerning than the home ownership rate is the vacancy rate. The Census tables don't tell the entire story, but they tell a lot of it. Of the nearly 131 million housing units in this country, 112.5 million are occupied. 74.8 million are owned, and that's only dropped by about 30 thousand in the past year. 38 million are rented, but that's up by over a million year over year. That means more new households are choosing to rent.
Now to vacancies. There were 18.4 million vacant homes in the U.S. in Q4 '10 (11 percent of all housing units vacant all year round), which is actually an improvement of 427,000 from a year ago, but not for the reasons you'd think.
The number of vacant homes for rent fell by 493 thousand, as rental demand rose. 471,000 homes are listed as "Held off Market" about half for temporary use, but the other half are likely foreclosures. And no, the shadow inventory isn't just 200,000, it's far higher than that.
So think about it. Eleven percent of the houses in America are empty. This as builders start to get more bullish, and renting apartments becomes ever more popular. Vacancies in the apartment sector have been falling steadily and dramatically, why? Because we're still recovering emotionally from the toll of the housing crash.

August 3rd: Thorntons Cloudy Lemonade
I've been waiting to write this review for a fair while now as I first got to sample this bar right at the start of the year when I was asked for some feedback from the guys at Thorntons. This Cloudy Lemonade bar is one of the three limited editions being released this year by Thorntons who are celebrating their 100 years of chocolate production. First up in May we had the Thorntons Dark Chocolate with Rose (See HERE) - today it was the turn of the Cloudy Lemonade which came billed as 'Lemon flavoured white chocolate with popping candy'. This bar is now available in all Thorntons stores including their online one - See HERE.
This bar came in a 80.0g size and was packaged in the familiar Thorntons glossy square box format. The choice of colour (pastel yellow), was the obvious one for this bar, I'm starting to think Thorntons might want to redesign the packaging for this range - they are going to run out of colours soon enough aren't they :D Inside the chocolate was stored in a thin foil wrapper and was decorated and sub-sectioned in the familiar fashion consistent across this range. Aesthetically the bar had a nice complexion and there were visible pieces which looked like rice krispies dispersed throughout.
Previously when I've tried white chocolate and citrus combinations there have times when I have commented that they had smelt cheesey and nasty but this wasn't the case here. I didn't waste too much time taking in the smells on offer but the lemon element was fragrant enough to noticeable when the foil packet was undone. From the very first piece I tasted I noticed that the chocolate was ever so slightly different from my previous experience with it at the start of the year. Starting with the consistencies though, it was still a very tasty white chocolate, and it's smooth cream based vanilla noted flavours were the perfect foil for the sharper citrus lemon oil element. As aforementioned there was an unfortunate change from the initial version of this bar I tried. Disappointingly for my own preference Thorntons had dialled up the popping candy element, and had noticeably increased both the size and portioning of the horrible stuff. Unlike some other chocolates with it in before, it didn't 100.0% ruin the experience for me, but the crackling sensation at the back of my throat was really not welcome.
Overall although I was disappointed by the minor changes from the original bar I tried, I still found this to be a pretty good standard white chocolate. I've said this in many reviews before, but Thorntons for some reason seem to really know what they are doing when it comes to white chocolate. It's not my favourite chocolate type but as far as Thorntons go it's one of things I think they do best. This Cloudy Lemonade was no exception, and it was thoroughly enjoyable for it's smooth flowing creamy flavours. The lemon element was additionally well integrated and came off as both real tasting and balanced - it was just that damn annoying popping candy. I don't want to criticise too much as this is a point of personal preference rather than a glaring production error. If you think you can handle the popping sensation then I see little reason why this wouldn't be a thoroughly enjoyable chocolate for you.

What a sensible flavour to make for summer. You can't say Thorntons haven't done their research here. I know they aren't the most popular brand for people on this site but I think they have made some really good strides recently.
I was so surprised hearing their last quarter sales were down so significantly. If you had asked me I would of said they were back on track after a stick period. - August 03, 2011

I thought you usually saved new products to come up on Monday? Its a nice surprise to this come up today. Thanks for the review buddy.

The idea behind this one is cool. It's promising to see this sort of thing coming out of thorntons HQ. Nice one guys (lol I hope they are reading).
- August 03, 2011
Respect to you here Jim I know you couldn't of been fancying this one too much. I think you've provided us all with a fair reflection of what it has to offer if you like this sort of thing. Thanks for the review.

Well well this just goes to show they can come up with new ideas and chocolates if they put their minds to it! There are no excuses now.
- August 03, 2011
Did you ever give an opinion on this story about Thorntons Jim? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-07-13/thorntons-sales-for-two-months-to-june-25-fall-8-4-1-.html. Losing 20.6 million pounds in sales is a major thing. It sounds to me like they are in big strife.

Sweet work here J. It obvs wasn't perfect for you but for the rest of us that like white chocolate I think it might one worth giving a go.
- August 03, 2011
I'm going to take your score of 7 and add another 1.5 on it ;)
I thought the popping candy was a nice addition myself. I wouldn't want to have it in every chocolate I buy but it's something different from the norm. It's not so excessive that it spoils the chocolate. Not that I think anyway.
Dx - August 03, 2011
Was the lemon part of this created by bits of lemon fruit? lemon juice? or both?????
I hope they used real fruit content and not artifical flavourings. It sucks when they do that. - August 03, 2011
Have you ever given anything above a 7 for a white chocolate. You always seem to give them worse marks compared to milk and dark ones.

Are you seriously saying that some measely popping sherbet put you off the whole chocolate bar? That's so stupid, you must be a sensitive little flower Jim.

This is one of the chocs that I will HAVE to buy as soon as I see it. After reading about those lemon meringue truffles that Thorntons started making I had to buy them and since I've been hooked. I hope this is just like a version of them but in a bigger bar form. It sounds like it well could be :) Thanks for the review my lovely.

Ace review mate. This chocolates are normally outstanding value for money. Just over £1 for nearly 100 grams is brilliant considering the quality of some of the chocolates.
- August 03, 2011
- Lee said...
Some of these panel chocolates I've tried haven't been that nice but others have been outstanding. My favourites so far include the tonka bean, belgian white and the pistachio - I hope this one joins that shortlist of my best ones.
Oh and if anyone is wondering I was disappointed with the fudge one and rose flavour if I remember correctly. The last one didn't fill me with confidence for these next two limited edition but I think this one matches my own tastes much better. I'm looking forward to trying it big time now. - August 03, 2011

Hey J
Cool review of this Thorntons choc mate. Its not the sort of flavour I would ever buy but it's nice seeing that they are up to better things and adding to the parts of their range that people want them to develop and not the cheap stuff they were doing way too much of.
Are you keeping up to date with all the football transfers? It's gone very quite on the Liverpool front. I think all our business is done now. You still think Man U will sign Sneijder. I hope you don't hes quality.

I think Thorntons have mucked up this 100 year celebration thing.
Without sites like this I wouldn't of had a clue they were 100 years old at all. They have such a huge marketing opportunity to play off and they aren't doing anything with it apart from releasing these 3 bars + one box of chocolates that costs £100 that no one will buy.
It's a shame because it's worth us all celebrating I think. It's not common that a company surives that long. - August 03, 2011
- Mysterio6_19 said...
They should have gone for a cola flavour to go alongside it. That would have been 100% uniuque. Better yet a bar half Lemonade, half Cola would of been the bomb.
- August 03, 2011
Jim you said they were doing three limited editions. Do we know what the third is yet?
- August 03, 2011
I think this sounds delicious. As soon as I see it I will definitely be buying this one. Thanks for the heads up on it Jim.

I groaned when I saw this had popping candy in. I'm not a fan of it either. I think it's so kiddie and pointless. I thought they only put it in chocolates to humour little children. I hardly think your average ten year old will be spending their pocket money on thorntons chocolates. I think they are ten times more likely to be buying pick-a-mix or things like freddos. More to the point are adults going to buy their kids this type of chocolate ... the answer is no ... never!
All this begs the question why put the popping candy in there at all!!! Idiots. - August 03, 2011
Ack! Come on Jim you promised us one bits and bobs review a week. Why have we got this thorntons one today? Could it not have waited a bit longer.
- August 03, 2011
- Umer said...
I think you are right about the packaging. I think it does need an upgrade from what it is.
I'm not saying it's bad or anything, I just think it needs a change, its been the same for years now. - August 03, 2011
Shock horror. A white chocolate that you kinda liked Jim. It's a shame they spoilt it for themselves with the popping candy thing. They did themselves no favours there did they.
Rxxx - August 03, 2011
Are they going to be making this flavour in the smaller bar sizes? I bought a load of those smaller bars to try out the rest of these square shaped chocolates. It was a v gd way of being able to tell if you liked them before buying the bigger ones. I hope they do it for this one to.

IF there hadn't of been any popping candy what sort of score do you think we would have been looking at?
Neither of the two LEs have been given good scores yet. Looking at them both you have just rated them averagely at 7. Was it really worth the effort of making them you think? When you factor in the time and manpower it takes to create a new flavours then you might not think so if Thorntons. I hope it doesn't put them off making new flavours for the future - August 03, 2011
This wouldn't of been the first flavour combination I would have asked for but it's a fair shout as its at least something new we haven't seen before.
- August 03, 2011
- Big Ren said...
Did you see my suggestion to do an interview with someone from Thorntons jim? I forgot to say in my comment that I think you should make it that if you do you give us the chance to send in our questions first so they can be answered. That would be mega cool, I've got a lot of stuff I want to ask Thorntons about.
- August 03, 2011
- Sally said...
I've only ever had good times with thorntons white chocolate so this will be a flavour I will try some day. I don't think have popping candy in there is ideal but its not something that will change what I think.

It doesn't make sense having popping candy in cloudy lemonade. Cloudly lemonade is the traditional stuff which isn't meant to have any fizz in it. For a supposed proud British company there isn't anything quite like getting an all time British classic flavour wrong. Geeze what dummies.

I'm a little scpetical to wether white chocolate and lemon will work out. Hmmmmmm only one way to find out I guess lol.
- August 03, 2011
In the review jim says its the second of three LEs. What was the third one again? I think I remember him saying it was some sort of cake, I think maybe victoria sponge. Can anyone remember :S

Why do Thorntons never advertise themselves? You see adverts for cadbury and lindt etc but I've not ever seen an advert for Thorntons. If they reminded me they existed every so often they would probably be more top of mind when I fancy some chocolate. I often end up just forgetting about them unless I walk past their shop or read about them on here.
- August 03, 2011
- Pattra said...
Oooooh this sounds lovely. I expect it's one of those chocs that if you put in the fridge to chill for a little while it will be all the more special.
I'm not a lover of popping candy but I can deal with it without it bothering me too much. I'm not fussy like you Mr Jim :P - August 03, 2011
- Francesca said...
I bought a white chocolate bar from thorntons yesterday but it melted into mulch before I got time to eat it.
They didn't invest in air conditioning in my local shop i don't think. The weather isn't chocolate firnedly at the mo. - August 03, 2011
- Andy said...
Cool review Jim thanks for doing it.
I haven't bought anything from thorntons for ages now. I can't even remember the last time I did. I see the score isn't anything special but I do fancy it. I will have to see what mood I'm in when i'm next in one of their stores, it's going to be hard convincing me off my usual ginger chocolate. - August 03, 2011
Kudos to Thorntons here. This one has a credible shout for being a new flavour for chocolate. I don't think I've ever seen a cloudy lemonade chocolate before. It's going to worth trying just for that alone. Thinking outside the box is the way forward. Nice one Thorntons! Kudos!
- August 03, 2011
White chocolate, popping candy and thorntons - now there is a chocolate mission recipe for disaster if ever there was one lol.
- August 03, 2011
If this chocolate is half as nice as those lemon meringue truffles then I desperately want to get a bar of it. if they hadn't of put popping candy in it the rating looks like it would have been ten times better. It's only the texture criteria bit dragging it down if you look closely.
- August 03, 2011
- Neil said...
Did you get any other people in your family to try it? I can't help but think you weren't the best person to try this knowing you dont like 1. white chocolate 2. popping candy lol. You've never said anything about not liking lemon before :) if you don't like lemon then we have the full hattrick lol.
I would be interested to hear what the other people you potentially shared it with thought about it. - August 03, 2011
- KP said...
I wasn't a fan of that rose bar but this cloudy lemonade sounds ten times better. If my local thorntons doesn't have it in next time I'm in there I think I might just order a few from them online. Their delivery times were awesome last time I ordered something for a friends birthday. They delivered next day delivery and I didn't have to pay more for it or anything.
- August 03, 2011
Before anyone asks all of these are line priced at £1.09. Just because they are special edition it doesn't mean Thorntons try flog them for more. I think thats pretty commendable myself.
- August 03, 2011
I don't get how they can make lemon flavoured white chocolates. Wouldn't the acidity of the fruit make the chocolate curdle and do funny things when its being produced?
- August 03, 2011
- Emma said...
I knew it wasn't going to get a great score because of what it had in it (popping c and white chocolate) but it sounds like it could be one that I like. Now I think about it a score of 7 from you for this type of chocolate has to be a good thing right? Considering this would probably have been your idea of chocolate hell I don't think its done badly at all.
- August 03, 2011
- Mike said...
I'm with you on the packaging here Jim. I think it could do with a little update to spruce it up a tad. Just having a colour and writing to state the flavour is a little on the boring side. They could at least put some pictures of what the flavour is on there to make it come to life.

Hi All,
My boring old day job is stopping me from spending as much time as I would like to on the site at the moment.
I've read the feedback today and the sentiment I get is that there is a lot of you who are thinking very positively about this particular chocolate.
Like I said in the review my utter hatred of popping candy turned me off this one, though if it's not something that bothers you at all and you like white chocolate then I say go for it!
Please forgive me for not being able to respond to you in as much detail as I would like ....
ROB - Out now.
GOLDEN - Thanks for the story - I did indeed give my thoughts. Check some of the old Thorntons reviews.
PAUL - Lemon essence oil I believe.
CHRIS - The cricket was fantastic. We deserve to be number 1 in the world.
NIGEL - I'm keeping my fingers crossed over Sneijder. He's the missing cog from United I think.
CRAIG/JOEL - Bakewell Tart is the 3rd one.
BIG REN - I have seen your request and I'm investigating possibilities.
JUSTIN - Are you sure cloudy lemonade has to be uncarbonated? I'm not sure it does you know. I think i have had it fizzy before.
Those of you asking about Bits and Bobs will be pleased to hear there is one upcoming on Friday :D
Again apologies for my abrupt responses.
JIM - August 03, 2011
- Pleatee said...
If the lemon isn't too strong I can see this coming off rather well with me. I don't like highly acidic foods but if it happens to be just a twist of lemon I think it could pair really well with white chocolate. I might just have to give this one a go, especially if they are still running with the 3for£5 offer.
- August 03, 2011
- Jade said...
White chocolate and lemon? Thats a strange mixture.
Now I think of it chocolate and lemon isn't one that is seen often at all. Thats a head scratcher that one. Why are lemon chocolates so infrequent? I'm struggling to think of another example. I'm off to check under the lemon label now lol. - August 03, 2011
- Charlie said...
Good review mate. I know you think these bars are ripping off ritter but lets be honest, your average person who lives in England wont even know who ritter are.
Its just common sense if you are thorntons isn't it. All they are doing is looking at somehthing that has been successful abroad and adapted it to our market. I don't have any problem with it at all personally. - August 03, 2011
- chocolate matron said...
Hey hunny. I can't believe I'm saying this but you've reviewed another little something from thorntons that I'm all for trying. Until recently I used to dislike thorntons (overpriced tat!) but having read some of the recent posts you've done you've persuaded me to give some of these new things they are making a try. I think since that new head guy has come in they have been making some really nice things that are far departed from some of the crappy rubbish they were producing the years before (thorntons moments etc). This is embarassing to admit but I'm almost excited about trying this, lol how sad.
- August 03, 2011
Unfortunately I'm with Jim on this one. Having popping candy in there completely ruins this all for me. Its a shame as without it I might well of tried it.
- August 03, 2011
- Robbie Els said...
Man this one proper stacked it on your scoring chart because of the Popping stuff.
Are you sure it's really fair to downgrade it that much just because of the pc. It strikes me as a little harsh on thorntons personally. - August 03, 2011
Why are people saying you can't get fizzy lemonade? Of course you can have you never had Schewepps before people???
- August 03, 2011
I think some of you are mistaken saying this bar costs just over one pound.
If you look at their online store it actually costs £1.89. The good thing is though you can get 3 for £5 so that is at least a worthwhile deal. Lol its not likely you would just buy one in the first place if you are going to the effort of putting the online order in. - August 03, 2011
I wouldn't have gone for the white chocolate pairing but it sounds like it's nice enough.
The idea of cream and lemon don't go together if you ask me. I think it would of been better to see what it had been like if they had gone down the milk choc route. Who knows! I could be wrong. - August 03, 2011
@Peter I think you are so right
Thorntons have dropped the ball with their celebrating of 100 years stuff.
They could have made such a bigger deal out of it if they could be bothered to do so. Releasing three new throughout the year isn't something that they wouldn't have done anyway is it! It just seems like a big waste of what is really a credible marketing opportunity. Not many (if any!!!) companies ever make it to 100 years these days. They have the chance to big themselves up and it looks like they are letting it pass them by. - August 03, 2011
I hope they continue to make new flavours next year even though there aren't any anniversaries to celebrate. It's a good model having a core set of flavours and then having new ones come in for short periods of time each. It means that you awalys have the golden old faves available but also something new if you fancy it. Well done Thorntons, it seems like they are using common sense for once.
- August 03, 2011
- Thea said...
I love the Thorntons bars. I wish they'd left the popping candy out but I would still like to try this. I see they sent an extra bar, it would be a neat competition flavor if it's still at large...surely being popping candy both were not needed for purposes of the review :D
@Mysterio6_19 are you thinking of the KitKat lemonade/cola duo bar? It's an awesome combination.
PS Ahem. Despite recent form I humbly beg to differ re who deserves to be #1 overall at cricket. - August 03, 2011
- Jim said...
PLEATEE - You seem to be in luck. The 3for£5 is still running I believe. I think it might be ongoing you know.
JADE - No idea at the frequency of lemon chocolates being so low. I would have thought it just isn't a flavour that is top of peoples wanted lists.
CHOCOLATEMATRON - Good to hear I'm getting you to try new things.
RICHARD - Thanks for the clarity on the pricing.
THEA - When you do try it drop me a note with what you think. Are you a mind reader by anychance???? You might want to check out the site on Saturday to see what I mean by that :D
JIM - August 04, 2011
- Thea said...
I liked this and think the flavor is a neat idea. The lemon flavor tasted real but I would have liked the chocolate slightly tarter and the popping candy less so. My classmate however said the popping candy was their favorite part and they 'quite liked' it but not white chocolate so wouldn't buy it again.

We heard a bit about the training that monks go through and what their lives are like, and even heard a bit about how the people of faith here in Sichuan are tryiing to work together for the same goal of bringing some goodness into this world.

We're pretty tired.

Hoping to up their enrollment numbers, Fulton-Montgomery Community College is getting quite the make over. As YNN's Maria Valvanis tells us, the college is transforming their institutional atmosphere to a more vibrant one.
JOHNSTOWN, N.Y. -- Newly enrolled FMCC student James Haberek said, "I'm really excited about coming here, to FM."
James Haberek is one of many high school graduates anxiously waiting for September, so he can start attending FMCC. But 2012-2013 will bring more to the campus than just students.
"This summer, we're renovating the cafeteria and we're expanding student housing," said FMCC President Dustin Swanger.
With enrollment numbers down three percent since last year, Swanger tells us the new look is an effort to appeal to more perspective students.
"Part of what we need to do as a college to be attractive, is update the facilities and make sure that students want to be here, they're attracted to the facility," said Swanger.
Haberek said, "Students don't want to be like oh this is a bad place to be, I don't want to be here. Students should have a comfortable setting."
Also on the agenda to get a new makeover, the old pool room, which will soon be home to the college's Raider's Cove.
"We're taking a pool that doesn't hold water anymore and we're turning that into additional teaching space for a small gym and then we're adding an evening student gathering spot," Swanger said.
"If students have stuff to do, I feel like they're going to stay out of trouble," said Haberek.
The$ 14 million campus makeover will not affect tuition, but will rather be paid for by a combination of state aid, school fund raising and a loan.
High school guidance counselor Greg Chase tells us the college's new appearance will likely resonate well with high school graduates.
"Students want it to look different from high school. They want it not to be, you know, grade 13. They want to see it as a place where they're furthering their education," said Chase.
The cafeteria and housing projects are slated to be completed by the end of August. Raider's Cove will open in January of next year.

November 21, 2009 - The Mann Center has launched a new series of short videos, "Conversations on Ethics and Leadership". Published on the center's web site, the first two programs feature recent speakers in the A. Gerow Hodges Lectures in Ethics and Leadership. Jerome Miller, vice president for diversity and social responsibility at Toyota USA, discusses diversity management and its relevance to business and higher education. Betty L. Siegel, president emeritus of Kennesaw State University, shares perspectives on women's leadership based on her 25 years as president of Georgia's third-largest university. Each video is approximately eight minutes in length.
November 21, 2009 - Samford's Health Ethics and Law (HEAL) Institute has published the full proceedings of its 2009 conference, The Intersection of Faith and Ethics in Health Care. The following presentations are available online: "The Numinous, the Medical and the Moral" (Daniel P. Sulmasy, O.F.M., Ph.D.); "The Fine Edge Between Light and Shadow: Spirituality, Illness and Dignity" (Karen Lebacqz, Ph.D.); "When to be Spiritual in Health Care" (Dennis Sansom, Ph.D.); "Conscientious Objection and the Future of Catholic Health Care" (Leonard J. Nelson, J.D., LL.M.); "Self-Deception, Medical Practice and the Eclipse of Spirituality" (John C. Knapp, Ph.D.); and "Justice: Bedside Clinical Ethics' Next Great Challenge" (Bruce D. White, D.O., J.D.).
The Business of Higher Education, a three-volume collection of essays on critical issues facing colleges and universities, was released this month by Praeger Publishers. Co-edited by Mann Center Director John C. Knapp and East Carolina University's David J. Siegel, the three dozen chapters explore the growing tension between traditional academic values and the need to improve efficiency, fiscal performance and accountability. Forty-four contributors address marketing, academic-industry partnerships, leadership development, academic freedom, unionization, student retention, athletics, tuition cost, college rankings, commercialization and other current concerns.

MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) � Alex Machado was about 10 feet away from a black bear he thought was dead when it came to its feet and ran at him, swiping and biting.
�(The) thing popped up and just came right at me,� the 22-year-old said last Friday afternoon at his Medford home.
The attack occurred last week while he and 24-year-old Nathan Shinn of Phoenix were hunting deer near Trail, Ore., north of Medford. The men, who had been at it since 7 a.m., split up temporarily as they climbed uphill when Shinn, who was carrying a bear-hunting tag, saw the bear.
�He thought he saw me,� Machado said of Shinn. �Then he realized it was a bear. He took a shot. He said he thought he hit it broadside.�
The men tracked the blood trail and found the bear lying on a steep hillside, Machado said.
�We thought it was dead,� he said.
As Machado approached with his skinning knives in hand, the bear rose and charged, knocking the knives out of his hands, its mouth snapping and biting.
Shinn fired a warning shot, but it had no effect.
Machado retrieved his knives and ducked behind a tree, swiping at the bear with his blades.
The bear knocked the weapons aside and bit down on Machado�s arm, then his hand.
�It just latched on. I just started screaming,� Machado said.
When he yanked his hand back and started to slide down a slope, the bear bit him on the inside of his upper leg and both tumbled downhill together.
Machado reached the bottom first, landing on his back, 40 to 50 feet below where they started. The bear hit next, its back against Machado�s chest. Machado wrapped his arms around the bear�s throat and squeezed as tightly as he could, screaming for Shinn to shoot the bear.
�I was just squeezing as hard as I could,� Machado said. �I was just thinking, �I can�t die like this. This isn�t how it�s supposed to be.��
But Shinn�s gun jammed. So he ran back up the hill to retrieve Machado�s rifle, then returned and fired. The bear went limp. Machado said he heard its final breath.
Machado crawled out from under the black bear and lay down about 10 feet away, trying to calm the tide of adrenaline while Shinn dialed 911.
�He kept asking me the alert questions. �Count one to 10. What�s your name? What�s the date?� All that stuff,� Machado said.
Machado started walking back uphill, hoping to meet rescue workers when they came, while Shinn stayed behind and tried to maintain contact through spotty cellphone service with emergency services workers.
The wounds hurt but weren�t bleeding too badly, said Machado, who estimates he walked about a mile and a half before rescuers found him.
The Jackson County Sheriff�s Department found him near Elk Creek Road and took him to Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center in Medford for treatment. Machado�s wounds required several stitches and numerous cleanings of the bites.
Shinn was found by rescuers about an hour after his hunting partner was transported.
Machado said he planned to be back at his job at Sportsman�s Warehouse in a few days. He also planned to meet with a plastic surgeon, who will assess his injuries and address any potential nerve damage.
Machado said he is thankful to have survived the ordeal and gave much of the credit to Shinn.
�I�m really grateful he was there,� Machado said. �I feel pretty blessed. He stuck around, and he took care of all the phone calls, too, which I wouldn�t have been able to do.�
It�s not known exactly how much the bear weighed, but Oregon State Police Senior Trooper Mike Cushman said adult black bears in this area typically weigh from 125 to 250 pounds.

OF all the cars that carry the Peugeot lion badge, the new 208 GTI is the one that has real claws. The new £18,900 GTI has a big act to follow. The GTI culture at Peugeot goes back a long way, and there are those lucky enough to own a £6,245 105bhp 1.6-litre 205 GTI in the mid-1980s who still look sideways at anything Peugeot had the temerity to think could replace that ultimate fun car.

trailer brake questionModerator: Team Cub

trailer brake questionhi guys, i'm checking my electric brakes and was wondering if you are supposed to put a thin layer of grease on the magnet?
Re: trailer brake questionRob, I just did some work on my trailer brakes just before I left for the Tug and while doing a little research I found this;
"Part of the surface of electric brake magnets, contains a friction material, similiar to the brake shoes. Once they have absorbed oil or grease, they are done". So I would say the answer to your question is not to put any grease on the magnets. The grease may keep your magnets from actuating when you need them. I don't believe in taking the bull by the horns. I took a goat by the horns once and that was enough excitement for me.

Re: trailer brake questionthanks, i'm glad i asked.
Re: trailer brake questionI work with brakes on big rigs and some smaller one all day. The worst part about getting grease or oil on the brakes is that it reduces the flash point of heat needed for the brake to catch on fire. A normal brake shouild stand almost 1000* before it burns, and oil or grease soaked one takes it down to 350*. You cant just clean them up in part cleaner either, as once it on the brakes it becomes part of them, and makes them worhtless in stoping power. Rust and oil/grease are the two biggest problems with el brakes, and as time goes on the magnets will get weeker due to the heat they go though as a natural part of braking.

December 2- Happy Birthday Don Brennan
For the second day in a row, we celebrate the birthday of a Yankee that few Yankee fans have ever heard of. James Donald Breslin was born in Augusta, Maine on December 2, 1903. After a great collegiate pitching career at Georgetown University, he began his Minor League career in 1926 by going 11-5 with the Lewiston Twins of the B-level New England League. In 1932, he went 26-8 for the Newark Bears, who were the Yankee's International League affiliate at the time.
That was good enough to give him a trial with the parent club the following season. Brennan became the fifth starter for Manager Joe McCarthy's 1933 Yankees in a rotation that included two future Hall of Famers Red Ruffing and Lefty Gomez plus Johnny Allen and Russ Van Atta. Brennan got ten starts that year and won five of six decisions. McCarthy also used him out of the bullpen in eight additional games and the right- hander stuck around to finish six of those contests and earn three saves.
That first-year performance caught the attention of the Cincinnati Reds who made an offer to purchase Brennan in March of 1935 that the Yankees did not refuse. He then became a busy, somewhat effective member of Cincinnati's bullpen for the next three plus seasons. After a short stint with the Giants in 1937, his big league career was over. Brennan does hold a Major League record. His 21 career victories are the most ever for any pitcher born in Augusta, Maine. Of course, Brennan is the only big league pitcher to be born in Augusta and is the only Yankee to be born on today's date.
