Dark Souls III's Awesome VHS Cover Now Available to Download
The most metal cover of all time?
To accompany the trailer for 80's-style Dark Souls III: The Movie joke, Bandai Namco has released the awesome VHS cover art, free to download and replace your (already pretty cool) box art with.
Bandai Namco UK's official Twitter account has the download links for PC, PS4 and Xbox One – the cover art is the same on each, but the sizes are different to accommodate the varying box sizes.
Dark Souls III was released worldwide earlier this week to much critical acclaim. We gave the game an incredibly high score in our review. Dark Souls III marks the return of series director Hidetaka Miyazaki to the series after his relative absence on Dark Souls II, something that was considered to be one of the factors behind the game's disappointment by many fans.
New to Dark Souls? There's a lot to learn, but here are some of the game's mechanics you might not know about.

At any moment, you'll find fish in all of its different forms in our house - big fish, small fish, curried fish, fried fish, dried fish, pickled fish, canned fish, and it keeps going... Thats what happens when your parents are from Kerala (a south indian coastal state), where "fish" is a way of life.
My sis and I quickly got tired of fish, eating it everyday. But somehow our parents never did!
It was only after moving out of the house I missed eating fish curry and fried fish. Im too scared to try and make my mom's amazing fish curry. Instead,I made something that had flavors reminiscent of my mom's fish curry but way simpler - Fish Cutlets!
|spicy fish cutlets
Green chillies(chopped) - 4
Garlic paste - 2 tsp
Ginger paste - 1 tsp
Potatoes - 3
(boiled & mashed)
Black Pepper - 1 tsp
Coriander leaves - As reqd
Garam masala - 2 tsp (can be found in any Indian grocery store and some specialty grocery stores)
Oil - 4 tbsp
Bread crumbs - 1/2 cup
Eggs - 3
Oil for deep frying - 2 cups
1 stalk of curry leaves - thinly sliced
1. mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl (except the oil for frying)
2. form into patties and arrange onto a sheet
3. once oil is hot, shallow or deep fry one or two at a time *I hardly deep fry anything but these were an exception - Im sure they would actually be very good baked as well!*
4. remove and allow to drain on paper towels.
5. serve with ketchup, hot sauce, etc - i loved it with Sriracha (garlic chili sauce)! So good!
To serve with the yummy fish cutlets, I whipped up Brown Butter Brussel Sprouts! I never grew up eating this adorable vegetable (reminds me of a baby cabbage) and learned to love it just recently.

Q: What's the one thing that people fear most?
A: Change.
I remember mobiles becoming mainstream in 2003 with many of my friends having a Nokia 2100 phone. In fact it wasn't just my friends that had this phone, it seemed like everybody did. Here in the UK, Nokia phones were more common than Burberry being worn by the local gang of lads in the town centre! every Tom, Dick and Harry had one.
Over the next few years although the model of the phone would change, the brand remained the same. Users were very loyal to Nokia and it's simple navigation that barely changed with each new phone released.
People stuck to Nokia throughout this period because it is what they knew, what they felt comfortable with.
This is why it's so difficult to launch a new operating system and this is the reason why, when things changed with the adoption of the smartphone, Apple's iOS and Googles Android platforms were next in line to enjoy such success.
When Apple launched the iOS on the iPhone it didn't just give us a fancy new interface, it gave us a user experience that was so simple yet powerful, it was perfect for a handheld device. That's also why, 18 months later when the first commercially available Android OS Smartphone (HTC Dream) was released, it showed Google hadn't so much re-invented the wheal as given a very similar wheal some new tyres!
As much as Android and Apple fan-boys may argue about it, the experience is not massively different and that is why both systems have been such a hit. Apple's iOS defined the way in which smartphones should operate and any challengers to that would have to overcome the one thing people (even tech-loving innovative people) fear most… Change!
This is why the recent deal between Nokia and Microsoft just doesn't make sense.
While I agree Nokia needed a smartphone OS other than the ageing Symbian platform. Why wouldn't they follow the likes of Samsung, Motorola and LG and choose an open platform that is successful and growing at an astonishing rate?
Why wouldn't they rely on what they do best (which is build quality handsets) and adopt Android as their platform?
While I take my hat off to Microsoft with their Windows 7 OS, it had to tick one of two boxes to make it the new mobile user experience of choice.
1) Be the first quality OS on a smartphone – impossible. While Microsoft should have invented this touch panel interface instead of their Vista styled Windows Mobile 6 (powered by Windows CE 5.0) in Feb 2007, they didn't. Instead they were dealt a knock out blow by Apple four months later with the release of the iPhone and it's iOS.
2) Make the Windows 7 OS quick, slick and easy to develop for. Unfortunately, while many would argue it is slick, few would say it's quick and it certainly hasn't attracted the large developer base it needed.
The outcome of the Nokia/Microsoft deal will be interesting, but I don't see it changing the mobile experience enough to win market share. Apple's iOS will remain popular enough to keep the iPhone as the no.1 selling handset and Android will be the platform that continually innovates enough to ensure the top mobile manufacturers continue to use it for their platform – resulting in Android being the no.1 smartphone operating system.
The winners and losers in the mobile industry are quickly being identified. Companies that are not reacting quick enough and who's innovations have fallen below par, are starting to suffer. I'm only surprised by the fact that Nokia and Microsoft appear to be two of the companies that suffering most.

If you've ever stepped into a crazy hot car after leaving it parked in the sun on a hot day, then you know how uncomfortable it can be. It's also nice to be able to keep your windows cracked open even when it's raining to prevent fogging and get some fresh air. EGR window visors are excellent for both preventing your car's interior from overheating, keeping out unwanted moisture, and adding visual pizzazz to your vehicle.
How do they accomplish this trifecta of awesomeness? Read on to find out!
EGR has well established itself as a trusted name in the aftermarket automotive accessory industry. The company produces a broad array of top quality accessories for your vehicle, including their renowned window visors. They manufacture more than 80% of all their products in the United States out of their home base in Ontario, California (and for clarification, as much as we love our friends in the Great White North, we do mean California). They make tough stuff, and we couldn't be prouder to carry their products on our site.
Features And Benefits
EGR window visors may seem like simple accessories at first glance, but they yield impressive benefits and feature smart, unique design choices worth paying attention to. As opposed to typical "bubble style" window visors, EGR's sport a slimmer, more stylish profile. This lends them an improved look while retaining all of the functionality you buy them for.
The main reasons to install these on your vehicle is to block out excessive sunlight, particularly while you're parked, and to keep out moisture when it's raining and you want to keep the windows rolled down a bit. You may not be able to keep your windows all the way down in a torrential downpour, but they will allow you to keep them open enough to get some fresh air and prevent your windshield from fogging up. This helps to boost both your comfort and safety while driving.
What's more is they're custom fit to the make and model of your vehicle. Furthermore, they're super simple to install. In-channel vent visors slide into the window channels of your ride, while tape-on models come with highly adhesive 3M auto tape to keep them firmly in place. There are no tools and no drilling required other than a few minutes of your time and a desire to take your truck, van, car, or SUV to a new level of awesome.
If you're looking for even more accessories to help get the most from your vehicle customization efforts, window vent visors from EGR also go well with bug shields and chrome accessories. You're only limited by your imagination.
Enhanced Style
When people look at what you drive, you want them to see a reflection of your own personality and sense of style. Aside from making your vehicle easier to own and operate, that's why we customize our trucks, SUVs, and cars, right? The subtle flair provided by a pair of top quality EGR window visors is well worth their weight in gold. However, they're not literally made of gold. We don't think that would work out so well.
They look super cool though, and by extension, so will you. People are going to take notice, and while the extra attention might take some getting used to, we think you'll agree it's worth it.

A survey conducted by Junior Achievement found that the majority of aspiring teenage entrepreneurs age 12-17 idolize Steve Jobs over such celebrity business supernovas as Oprah, Tony Hawk and the Olson twins because he 'made the world a better place'.
Yes, the world is a much better place now that many of us are hopelessly addicted to Apple products. I was going to say something about weeping for future generations, but it appears that the choices given to respondents didn't make a damn bit of sense either. Here's how the results broke down:
•Steve Jobs (35 percent)
•Oprah Winfrey (25 percent)
•Tony Hawk (16 percent)
•Mark Zuckerberg (10 percent)
•The Olsen twins (seven percent)
•Kimora Lee Simmons (four percent)
According to Junior Achievement, the list of entrepreneurs was chosen based on "people who had started business enterprises themselves, as opposed to licensing their names and images to products produced by someone else." While I agree that Jobs belongs on or near the top of any list of entrepreneurs, I can't help but wonder—where the hell is Bill Gates? You know...Microsoft...one of the biggest philanthropists of all time? [Junior Achievement and TGDaily via Crunchgear]

While Samuel Clemens' best work came under the name Mark Twain – hence the Tom Sawyer-themed Google doodle – the author went by other names, too. He signed early sketches as "Josh" and sometimes wrote under the name "Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass."
Historians argue over how Clemens decided on his now-famous nom de plume. The most popular story, the one Twain told people, reaches back to Mississippi riverboats. Sailors had to regularly check the depth of rivers to ensure their boats wouldn't scrape bottom. Many used weighted ropes to measure out two fathoms (or six feet). According to Twain, if the "mark" on the line said "twain" (two) fathoms, they would call out "mark twain."
Once Clemens settled on Twain, the name stuck. Even his gravestone says "Samuel Langhorne Clemens" along the top, but then "Mark Twain" in much larger letters just below.
Many other authors have adopted pen names. Among them:
|Pen name

|Birth name

Knight Club
Training in medieval armor bonds cast and crew on Knightfall.
Larry Horricks/History
The first time the stars of History's Knightfall dressed in chainmail for a screen test, they were stunned by its heft.
"I couldn't pull my sword out of my belt because I couldn't lift my arm," recalls Tom Cullen, who later weighed the costume and discovered he was wearing about 50 pounds in full chainmail — with thick tunic and armor — and around 35 pounds the rest of the time.
But authentic costumes were de rigueur for the series, about the Knights Templar, a Catholic military order that grew in power in the 12th century but met an unfortunate end: King Philip IV of France persecuted the group and had many members arrested in 1307 and burned at the stake. The 10-episode tale debuts December 6.
Fortunately for Cullen — and his costars Pádraic Delaney and Simon Merrells — the production provided an intensive boot camp, on set at Barrandov Studios in Prague, in the Czech Republic. They even trained in chainmail to get used to moving under its restrictive weight.
"It was quite a lot of work, but we gave them strength and endurance," says Cedric Proust, the stunt coordinator. "During prep, they were doing a normal workout in the morning, warming up, and then boxing for about an hour or an hour and a half. Then they did between two and three hours of swordfighting, broke for lunch, and then one or two hours on horseback."
That's not all. "Then we'd come back and do weights," Cullen adds. "That was our day, for two weeks. It was a really intense regime. And we made sure we kept up that regime as much as possible during filming."
Proust prefers having actors perform their own stunts when possible. "We were prepping fights with doubles, with the stunt guys," he explains. "Then I showed [the choreography] to the actors or gave them a video so they could learn new fights."
The stars' stunt doubles — Faycal Attougui for Cullen, Jakub Bobuski for Delaney and Josef Jelinek for Merrells — helped with tutoring.Cullen was on set virtually every day of the seven-month shoot — the Welshman left once for a wedding and once for a funeral. Not surprisingly, the actors and stuntmen formed tight bonds.
"We worked together to improve and hone our skills," he says. "It was great to have [Attougui] on set — he was watching every movement I made and gave me notes on every sword stroke."
As difficult as it was wearing — and training in — chainmail and muslin tunics through extreme heat and cold, the result was worth it. The show "looks amazing," Cullen says. "The costumes made us move in a specific way, which makes it look authentic."

ISO 7816 is the accepted standard for smart cards, a credit card-sized card which is embedded with integrated circuitry that can process data. It is a family of standards that deals primarily with the interoperability of connection characteristics, physical properties, and the identifiers of the chip and the data therein.
There are eleven parts in the ISO 7816 family that are in a constant state of flux. This is because they are subject to revisions and updates. There are also physical characteristics that the 7816 specifies. These characteristics include:
- dimensions
- electromagnetic radiation
- mechanical stress
- location of the IC in the card
- location of the magnetic strip, and
- resistance to static electricity
These qualities are important to smart cards as they are needed to perform to their full potential without being damaged in the process.
Important Standards
- 7816-2
- 7816-3
- 7816-4
- 7816-5
- 7816-6
- 7816-7 through 7816-11
This update involves the definition of the location of contacts and their dimensions on the card. It defines the purpose, electrical characteristics, and the location of each metallic contact of the card.
This standard controls the electronic signals and the transmission protocols that take place within the card. It specifies the electrical requirements of the contacts on the card.
This fourth standard defines the interchange commands for the central processing unit of the card. It allows for interoperability to occur across industries for the security and transmission of the card data. It specifies the basic commands for writing, reading, and updating data within the card.
Application identifiers and numbering systems are defined with the registry procedures that this standard deals with. It allows the card to recognize a unique registry assigned to a specific vendor.
The physical transfer of data is defined by this standard. Furthermore, it explains the operational data of the card itself. There are two protocols that are included in the card: the block protocol and the character protocol. The card may choose to follow any of the two mentioned, depending on what kind of data is being transmitted and stored. However, it may also choose not to follow any of the two.
These last few standards describe the methods to maintain the database, encryption details and techniques, card management, reset signals of synchronous cards, and store personal identification.

Sole Searching
September 2014
Conversation starter: "A Pair Of Shoes" (1886) by Vincent van Gogh
This is a book about a pair of shoes that helped shift the agenda of Western philosophy. The shoes in question were painted by Vincent van Gogh in the latter part of 1886. They came to the notice of philosophy 50 years later, when Martin Heidegger drew on them to illustrate some thoughts about art. Heidegger's use (or misuse) of van Gogh drew the fire of American art critic Meyer Schapiro, whose comments in turn provoked a cryptically deconstructive response from Jacques Derrida. And there the shoe story comes to an end.
Around these four episodes Lesley Chamberlain weaves a loose web of reflection on art, work, philosophy and travel. Van Gogh's worn-out leather boots have an aura of revelation, she observes, but it is not clear exactly what they reveal. They are not allegories of God or the virtues such as one might find in paintings of an earlier epoch. They point to nothing "higher" than themselves. Rather they open out — horizontally, as it were — onto the world of human work and suffering. This was Heidegger's insight. "Out of the dark opening, out of the inside of the shoe," runs his poetic (or cod-poetic) flight of fancy, "gapes the burden of labour . . . In the stuff of the shoes the buried call of the earth is audible again."
When Heidegger wrote that passage in 1936, he was a member of the Nazi party, though no longer an active one. Were his dark words about the "burden of labour" and the "buried call of the earth" a conscious echo of the fascist rhetoric of blood and soil?
Is this a "Nazi" van Gogh? That's certainly how it appeared to Meyer Schapiro, the cultured Jewish New Yorker, writing in 1968. Heidegger, he protested, had made the owner of the shoes a peasant woman, whereas in fact it was van Gogh himself.
But Schapiro's quarrel with Heidegger went deeper than this. For the American humanist, van Gogh's shoes were an expression of his essence, a "piece from a self-portrait"; for the German mystic, they were a disclosure of Being. Van Gogh was just a medium, a vessel.
In 1977, Jacques Derrida entered the fray. No Nazi himself, he nonetheless took exception to Schapiro's superior tone. How could Schapiro be so sure that the shoes belonged to van Gogh? Wasn't ideology at work here too, an American ideology of self-ownership and self-expression? Derrida then went off on a complex riff on the themes of property, restitution and guilt that left van Gogh and the shoes far behind.
A Shoe Story is, among other things, a story of the European intelligentsia's romance with the idea of manual labour. Van Gogh lived among labourers and presented himself as a labourer of sorts ("painting demands considerable physical effort," he wrote proudly to his brother Theo). Heidegger urged his students to dig and chop wood between lectures. A photograph from the 1920s shows him and his student Hans-Georg Gadamer sawing a log together; an inscription below reads "Heidegger and Gadamer philosophising". Marxist writers signalled solidarity with the proletariat by styling themselves "intellectual workers".

I am all for learning skills to "build a stronger relationship", but ladies (and guys too, this is not a gender specific issue), PUHLEEESE! If you have to invest money in products to help you learn how to work hard to "keep your man from cheating", YOU GOT THE WRONG DAMN MAN!!!!
Let's take a moment or two to go over a few... let's call 'em "Rules" ... shall we???
Rule #2 - if you picked a cheater, YOU PICKED THEM. You think you "didn't see it coming", but (having been there myself) in truth if you look back, there were probably little red flags all along the way that you chose to ignore.
Rule #3 - just be the most fabulous version of you that you can be, and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS treat your mate with the love and respect you would like to be treated with. If they cheat anyway, refer to Rules #1 & #2.
Rule #4 - give your mate the love, affection, and SEX (yes I said it, so sue me) that demonstrates that you care for them, appreciate them, value and understand their desires, and that they are THE biggest priority in your life. Be attentive. Be interesting. Be exciting. Be willing. You may surprise yourself and discover your own expanded sensuality along the way. People who feel unloved, unappreciated, demeaned, and undesired WILL LOOK ELSEWHERE to fill those very basic human needs. Doesn't mean they'll act on it, but they'll sure as hell be considering their options. Good news about sex with someone you LOVE and makes you feel ADORED who takes the time to learn your individual likes and dislike is - YOU'LL WANT MORE OF IT!!! A LOT MORE!!! And the more they rock your world, the more attractive they will be to you, NO MATTER THEIR BODY TYPE. (The love of my life was NOT a body builder - had I had my way that poor man would NEVER have gotten a day off, and probably would have had to quit his job just to attend to me. It was his attention to my details intellectually and emotionally that sealed it. I would have lived the entire rest of my days completely unaware that there were other men on the planet. I have heard gorgeous, FAITHFUL men say similar things about their so-called "plain-jane" spouses as well!)
Rule #5 - RESPECT EACH OTHERS BOUNDARIES. To do this, you must first communicate CLEARLY what they are. Be ready to hold your ground - and follow through if necessary. HAVE AND KEEP CLEAR EXPECTATIONS OF THE RELATIONSHIP AND YOUR MUTUAL BOUNDARIES.
Rule #6 - if you're a person who can't, or doesn't want to, be faithful (I'm not big on "marriage" but I am big on monogamy and exclusivity in relationships), DON'T MISLEAD YOUR PARTNER INTO THINKING OTHERWISE. Be honest UP FRONT! If you choose to get involved with someone who has TOLD YOU they don't want to be exclusive anyway - refer to Rule #2. Don't expect to change them. YOU WON'T.
Rule #7 - Pick your battles! Is it REALLY a big deal if he wants to play Halo all weekend IF he's meeting your needs on all other levels? Is it REALLY a big deal that she spends 3 hours a day talking to her mama IF she's blowing your mind the other 21? DO YOU REALLY CARE if he folds his underwear, if he's an attentive father and amazing partner? Is it REALLY gonna hurt you to indulge your partner's fantasies (within mutual reason) on a regular basis?
Rule #8 - if fidelity is important to you (as it is to me), know WHO you are getting in a relationship with BEFORE you go there! Then don't be surprised when they live up to their reputation - EITHER WAY.

Having thought it over, she decided that rather than leaving town, she wanted to get some more information about the missing girl, Thorifinna, from the girl's father. However, he was nowhere to be found and did not answer when the party knocked on the door of his cottage.
[To my surprise, she left the cottage standing. Most players, in my experience, would have set it aflame for no reason.]
A brief discussion with one of the older farmers in the village gave some insight into the interesting connection of the villager slain by the ghoul and the missing girl's father - the slain villager was having an affair with the girl's mother.
Returning to the Shrine of the Forgetful Bear to ask Sister Rebecca some questions, Fjörgyn found the good Sister uncooperative [this was determined by dice rolls]. When offered some gold to help grease the wheel a bit, Sister Rebecca responded with visible scorn [a terrible reaction roll brought this about] and told the party to go find the girl, after which she closed the door on them.
Irritated by the rebuff, and possessing a general dislike of Sister Rebecca anyway, Fjörgyn produced the still beating human heart she had recovered from the ghoul's tomb and placed it on the steps of the shrine as a warning to Sister Rebecca that she means business.
To everyone's surprise, the sky quickly filled with clouds, rain poured down, lightning cracked and the thunder sounded much like the roar of a bear.

Sign-up Ed Miliband may have left himself exposed after demanding that G4S, winner of Olympic gold for corporate incompetence, be suspended from bidding for public contracts. The name of the firm hired to provide security at this autumn's Labour conference? G4S. Should Ed Mili hear the snap of rubber gloves being pulled on for a strip search after he's called out of the line, he should take it personally. David Cameron will be shedding no tears this summer for Bob Diamond. Indeed, I hear the Prime Spinner chuckled when the shamed former Barclays boss proved Diamonds aren't for ever. The PM has the prodigious memory of an elephant and the thin skin of a butterfly wing. He recalls, I'm told, an occasion when Diamond treated him like a failed bond dealer in front of officials during a No 10 summit. He who laughs last, etc. The Tory infantryman Tobias Ellwood, on the other hand, has a suspect memory. The one-time Royal Green Jackets captain was overheard expressing pride in troops parading under Big Ben. Hmm . . . the Bournemouth blusterer led the campaign to rename the Clock Tower the Elizabeth Tower in honour of Her Maj. Capt Ellwood's failure to use the correct designation suggests it'll never catch on. The sad death at 57 of Marsha Singh, four months after he resigned in Bradford West, prompted a Labour snout to mutter that the ex-MP's passing proved Harriet Harman wrong. Bradford's by-election brought the third coming of "Gorgeous George" Galloway after he showed no Respect to Labour's candidate, Imran Hussain. Harperson had questioned Singh's retirement on grounds of ill-health, suggesting it smacked of an old-fashioned fix to deliver the seat to Hussain after she failed to secure a women-only shortlist. The end of Singh, a kindly man, settles that. Disbelief, too, at Labour HQ that Alun Michael, who wants to be police commissioner of South Wales, is claiming that it would've been a fix to use a wimmin-only list to select a replacement in his seat of Cardiff South and Penarth. Michael was the beneficiary of the mother of all Millbank fixes that foisted him on an unwelcoming electorate as the first first minister of Wales. By happy coincidence, the Labour standardbearer selected for the looming byelection, Stephen Doughty, was championed by Michael. No stitch-up there, then. The Labour warhorse David Winnick has been asking why Cameron is accompanied by armed detectives in secure parts of the House of Commons restricted to MPs. The PM may be more wary of right-whingers than we appreciated. The parliamentary pop group MP4 is printing T-shirts for a tour of the Labour, Con and SNP conferences. No Lib Dem gig?

Not to be confused with Harley Quinn/Arkham.
|Base Stats
|Challenge Mode, Arkham Knight Harley Quinn Pack, Arkham Pack, Wally West Gold Pack, Injustice 2 Premium Pack, Most Wanted Pack, Halloween Pack
| This One's For Mr. J!: When the enemy Tags-In, Harley may perform a surprise attack (if she is Tagged-Out).
If The Joker's knocked out on Harley's team, she gains full POWER.
Arkham Knight Harley Quinn has the second-highest base stats out of all Harley Quinn characters; while she doesn't have a team-wide buff, her unorthodox passive is useful in a variety of ways, and she is the second character (after The Arkham Knight; The Flash/Metahuman could only do so upon using his specials) to have a 3-hit Combo Ender.
She can be unlocked through her Challenge Mode. Otherwise, she can be randomly obtained from the Arkham Pack, the Wally West Gold Pack, or as a guaranteed pull from the Arkham Knight Harley Quinn Pack. However, obtaining her from a pack will not unlock her for direct promotions.
|Basic combo
|Damage pattern (% of damage stat)
|Light (Combo Ender)
|2% - 2% - 2% - (3% - 3% - 3%)
|4% - 4% - 4% - 4%
The damaging aspect of her passive has an estimated ~35% chance of triggering on any tag in (knock out blows do not count), as long as she is currently tagged out. It does multiple hits, adding up to 60% of her damage stat; in comparison, a fully upgraded and unblocked special 1 at 200% damage will do 66%. It will stagger her victim and grant power to both Harley and her target as if Harley has hit them with that many basic attacks (does not count as an actual basic attack, such as for Superman/Godfall or Nightwing/Regime's passives, however). It can be blocked. Characters who trigger her passive cannot use specials, even when she is still running up and has not started firing yet. Harley's passive can knock out one opponent and continue to damage the next opponent. The damage will register as Harley's teammate's damage, not Harley's, and cannot crit from basic or global crit sources.
It will trigger Raven/Prime's passive. When activated, Raven would swap health with the character currently tagged in, not Harley.
It does not interact with Black Adam/Regime and Black Adam/Prime's passives; it will damage him without negative consequences, and his lightning shield will be removed.
Her surprise attack can knock out The Joker/Prime and The Joker/Insurgency on the enemy team without the current character taking damage.
It is possible to tag in Harley at the exact same time her tag-passive is triggered; in that case, the previous character will be tagged out, but Harley would not officially tag in until she's done firing at her opponent and exits the screen.
She can gain full power twice from the second part of her passive if teamed with two Jokers. The Fourth World Set's resurrection will not count. However, The Joker/The Killing Joke already grants full power to both of his teammates upon knockout; pairing him with Arkham Knight Harley Quinn would effectively waste the second half of her passive.
Harley Quinn's special 2, or the team damage boost effect in particular, has an unusual invulnerability mechanic: right after using the damage boost, she goes into the immune to flinching state first (damage can be done, specials can deal damage and be initiated, she cannot block but cannot be knocked out) for a short time before briefly turning full invulnerable and then back to normal. This means that uniquely it is possible, when immediately used after, for faster specials (e.g. Wonder Woman's Shield Toss) to deal full damage in the first stage without her being able to block, slower specials (e.g. Shazam's Bolt of Zeus) will hit her in her full invulnerable phase and do no damage and very slow specials (e.g. Batman's Explosive Batarang) can be initiated during this period but only hit when she has completely returned to normal. Multi-hit attacks can hit her in different stages; Darkseid/Prime's Omega Blast will have its first hit in the first stage (full unblockable damage), while the second and third hits will be in the second stage (no damage dealt). This delayed invulnerability is excellent when you can predict dangerous enemy specials and negate some of their damage. A good example is when it is used against Killer Frost/Prime's infamous Black Ice: when Killer Frost tags in with 2 bars of power, immediately use Harley's damage boost; Killer Frost would almost certainly use Black Ice, and the block breaking hit will be negated by this invulnerability.
Harley Quinn's special 2 in general also has a significant mechanic difference compared to other specials: it runs in real time, while most other specials (including Zatanna's special 2 despite similar option-choosing) take place in bullet time. There are a few noticeable effects: in-universe timers, such as Ares' block disable, will continue to tick down during her s2; damage over time effects, while normally will continue to hit during a special, since specials take a short in-universe time (a much longer time in the real world while you tap/swipe) the damage is not as much, but Harley's s2 runs in a long time in-universe so damage over time can have a much more significant effect.
Arkham teammatesEdit
Arkham Knight characters DO work with Harley Quinn/Arkham (although Arkham Knight Harley Quinn's s2 is already unblockable), The Joker/Arkham Origins and Bane/Arkham Origins's Arkham teammate passives per update 2.8.
Like all Harleys, her personal gear is almost mandatory. Equipping her with power generation as well so she can constantly use her sp2 to heal your whole team, especially due to her passive allowing her to do a lot of hits.
A basic damage oriented build for Arkham Knight Harley Quinn is not unheard of, as she has a rather high damage stat for a female and she had one of the stronger combos for female characters, allowing her to surpass them in basic damage output (her heavy combos deal the equivalent of a character with 1467 damage and a normal 3 hit 4% combo, and if she gets her combo enders, her light combos is equivalent to 1833 damage).
Ra's Al Ghul's Scimitar and Gauntlets of Azrael can be decent for a utility based build, but that only leaves one slot for revolvers and none for basic damage/crit gear to work with gauntlet's lifedrain. After the nerf to the Scimitar which make it only power drain once in multi-hit combo enders, it may be excluded.
Please note that battles are highly situational: this section only mentions cards that have mechanics that, for any reason, are particularly effective with/against, or particularly ineffective against Harley Quinn. Having a card that "counters" Harley Quinn does not mean it is always a good choice.
Good WithEdit
- The Joker: All of them will provide Harley with full power upon knockout.
- The Joker/Prime and The Joker/Insurgency: They can remove a large portion of the enemy's max health as well as give Harley full power, resulting in a double whammy.
- The Joker/Arkham Origins: Due to Harley counting as a Arkham teammate and having low health which synergizes well with her passive.
- Lord Joker/Batman Ninja: With the help of Lord Joker, Harley Quinn's Specials deal 20% Area-Effect Damage to the tagged out opponents.
- Batman/Gaslight: If an opponent facing Batman tags out, the next opponent to tag into the match could potentially face the risk of receiving Batman's fire grenade and Harley's suprise attack.
- Sinestro/Antimatter: If Harley stays tagged out, when Sinestro uses his SP1 against an opponent, the force tag out caused by his passive could trigger Harley's suprise attack on the next opponenet to tag into the match.
Good AgainstEdit
- Any character or gear that has a tag-in effect: Because a tagged out Harley could suprise attack them when they tag into the match.
- Hawkgirl/Prime: Constant tagging would backfire on Hawkgirl's team as a tagged out Harley could continuously fire her machine gun at tagging in opponents.
- The Joker/Prime and The Joker/Insurgency: As stated above, her surprise attack can knock them out without triggering their passives.
- Black Adam/Prime and Black Adam/Regime: If Harley is tagged out and Black Adam tags in, should her passive activate, she would use up his shield without damaging her team whatsoever.
Countered ByEdit
- Raven/Rebirth: Should the second part of Harley's passive activate, Raven can tag in and steal her power.
Here are Harley Quinn's abilities.
|Batter Up
|First Special
|Harley violently scores hits on her opponent.
|Rapid Swipe
|Second Special
|Harley performs one of three RANDOM EFFECTS: Team Damage Boost, Unblockable Bomb, or Team Health Gain.
|Mallet Bomb
|Super Move
|A mallet. A bomb. That's what Harley uses to smash her opponent. UNBLOCKABLE.
Support Cards and GearEdit
Here are Harley Quinn's support cards and gear.
|Poison Ivy
|Harley's Mallet
|Mr. J
|.357 Revolver (Dual .357 Revolvers)
8% - 18% DAMAGE BOOST to Special 1
[Harley Quinn] 100% HEAL TEAM 15% - 25% on Special 2
[EVOLVED] 15% - 25% STUN chance on Special 1
|25,000 - 1,000,000 (upgrading)
These stats are the final damage and health levels at level 50, per Elite rank, with ALL support cards, and without any augmentations. With the 2.13 update, Elite 8, 9, and 10 have been added. The Elite 10 damage and health levels are for level 60 characters.
|Elite I
|Elite II
|Elite III
|Elite IV
|Elite V
|Elite VI
|Elite VII
|Elite VIII
|Elite IX
|Elite X
- Her artifacts are: Explosive Pie, Boots, Keepsake, Machine Gun, Bat.
- Her challenge is titled "Arkham Knight Harley Quinn" as opposed to the typical "Harley Quinn Arkham Knight", and signified a shift in the display of the naming.
- If combined with Sinestro/Antimatter, each time the opponent(s) is/are forced to tag out, Harley has a chance to attack as described; she might even KO an opponent solely due to her passive.
- Since it is possible to KO an opponent with her passive, it can be use that way to complete the achievement "This one's for Mr. J," under which circumstance the name of her passive would be the same as that achievement.
- The name of her SP1 can possibly be a reference to a well-known cutscene from Batman: Arkham City, where Harley thrashes Batman with a bat in a manner similar to the special move while also saying the words, "Batter Up!"
- If her passive activated and you tag her in, the camera will heavily bug out and go out of bounds of the arena.
- She's the only version of Harley Quinn that doesn't do a cartwheel on her combo-ender.
- In Batter Up Harley's bat changes from a smooth pink, purple, and gray spiral bat to a ribbed black bat right before the last hit.
- She was the only version of Harley Quinn that doesn't have a 2-hit heavy attack before the introduction of Harley Quinn/Suicide Squad (who has the same heavy combo).
- She has the same base stats as Hawkgirl/Regime.

Tiger in a Tutu, was published on 10th March 2016 by Orchard Books. Written and illustrated by Fabi Santiago, this book is a thing of beauty.
Said the Mudwaffler… 'Tiger in a Tutu is a beautiful book in every way. Be like Max; chase your dreams and do what you love.'
The Story
Once upon a time in Paris, not so long ago, there lived a tiger called Max.
Now, as you might have already gathered by the title, Max is no ordinary tiger. He's not in the jungle for a start. And I don't much see him munching on someone's leg… No, when we are first introduced, Max is lounging on a Chez-Lounge, being presented lunch on a platter by his zookeeper butler and being wafted by a monkey with a leaf. As intros go, this one is a corker.
What Max wants most of all, is to be a ballet dancer… to pirouette and plié, to leap and spin. He wants to be a dazzling dancer, shining on the stage!
Everyday he visits the Ballet School, but he can't go inside – tigers aren't allowed – and so, Max watches the class through the window and wishes he could join in. He watches every move and wishes he had a friend to dance with. He might not have ballet shoes or a tutu, but he has music in his heart and it's that that drives him.
He practices his heart out, pirouetting through the streets of Paris, lost inside his ballet dream, and finishes with a twirl at the top of the Eiffel Tower. He's rather good. But the Parisians don't agree. Max has given it his all, but there's no one there to clap or cheer. He's alone.
No one wants a tiger dancing through the streets of Paris.
Max is heartbroken. But, there is someone who was impressed by his dancing; Celeste is a ballet dancer too, and she has a plan… she takes him backstage at the ballet theatre, finds him a pair of ballet shoes and a 'tiger sized tutu'… and Max looks fantastic!
He's worried the spectators at the theatre will run away when they see him, like the people in the streets did before, but with a kind word or two of encouragement from Celeste, he's ready to go…
"Dance like only you can dance. You are Max, the tiger in a tutu!"
And what happens next? You guessed it, there's a stampede! The spectators flee (one even seems to have forgotten his trousers!) and soon enough the ballet theatre is empty. It's just as Max feared.
No audience. No applause. But this time he was not alone.
I'll leave it there for you to discover the end of this dancing adventure. It's bound to get you chasing your dreams.
The Artwork
Fabi Santiago has delivered a beautiful book in Tiger in a Tutu. I've been lucky enough to meet her and talk picture books and even got to ask about her illustration process – the whole of Tiger in a Tutu was screen-printed by Fabi. This has given an individual look to each spread that couldn't be made up in digitally, and the final book is, as I said earlier, beautiful. I'm a huge fan of every medium but I have to say how nice it is that this one is made in a more traditional method. The colour palette of green and pink and blue and brown and yellow works a treat, guiding our eyes through each page, through the streets of Paris and right into the Ballet Theatre. Which leads us to Fabi's line-work – it's loose and curly and full of energy and a lesson in delivery. Her characters are fantastic! Have a look at all their expressions and poses and actions (the piano player is another one to spot). You can find out more about how Fabi made Tiger in a Tutu on her blog post here.
Tiger in a Tutu is full of encouragement for anyone following their dreams. Full of hope for anyone thinking of giving up. And full of joy for anyone who enjoys a top class picture book story. It's one I've looked at a hundred times and will, no doubt, a hundred times more.
The Mudwaffler has become rather obsessed with ballet ever since this book landed in his nest. He's bought himself a tutu and has been practicing in the woods, day and night. He was last seen boarding a plane to Paris…
Now, it's WAFFLE time!
We are joined by fabulous Fabi Santiago for a Q&A…
What inspired you to make Tiger in a Tutu?
There's my ballet and dance background that to begin with, always finds a way into my work. But initially the very first idea came from being very bored and deciding to go t the zoo to draw big cats. I highly recommend getting yourself bored sometimes, that's when you give your mind the space for new ideas. It was then that I came up with the character Max.
The following week, my boyfriend took me to the ballet and I just put the things together as in "Oh a ballet dancing tiger!". I know, sometimes we're supposed to be having fun, or cleaning the house, or catching a plane, or in the middle or our sleep, but our minds just won't stop working. So I was watching the ballet but really just 'writing' the story in my head.
I was taking my illustration MA at the time and when I presented the story, my tutor suggested lacing it somewhere… why not Paris? I bought a plane ticket on that day.
What are you currently working on (any sneak peek news!?)?
I'm doing a few things. AS with most book projects, it's all very secrety secret, and I don't know how much I can tell before my publishers think I'm a very bad naughty person.
There's a picture book with Orchard and another with Scholastic, both written and illustrated by myself and coming out next year. And then I've got a few other mostly top secret things I'm plotting. NO, I'm not telling you but here's the sneakiest of peeks:
What is your favourite thing to draw?
I have many favourites: location, ballerinas and theatre life (who would guess that). Then I love drawing animals – some specific favourites are dinosaurs in birthday hats, cats (in and out of boxes), horses and unicorns.
I know some illustrators dread drawing horses but not this one here! I have a special fondness for them and am surprised I haven't done a horse book YET. I once drew 100 horses and out of those made a collection of 50 cardboard horses with my daughter, each with a unique technique and pattern. Here's proof:
Who or what are your influences?
I'm a sucker for the great modern painters: Matisse, Degas, Picasso, Miro and Chagall. Sure they are my biggest influences.
I fell in love with the Fauvists in art school, with their crazy bold colours and their complete disdain for painting things the way they 'should be'. Can you see any of that in my work? (Why not a pink sky? Why not a yellow tiger?)
Now just imagine how much I was in my element when I went to draw the Paris Opera: There was a single ballerina rehearsing on the stage, framed by bright red curtains and that stunning and colourful Chagall ceiling.
As for illustrators, my big "I-wish-I-were-those-people" are Dahlov Ipcar, Tove Jansson, Saul Bass, Ludwig Bemelmans, Roger Duvoisin and Maira Kalman.
Do you have any advice for illustrators and writers who are just starting out?
Tough one as I'm just starting out too! Still, if I can give any piece of advice…
Be yourself. Go find your voice, find what's 'you' in your art.
It can be a certain way you do things, it may have to do with your media of choice or your themes, it can even be something you can't avoid. That's what's going to make your art yours.
It's unlikely that you are going to go far with your work if it looks like someone else's. Even if you do, well, that's a bit sad! You want people to want your work and feel excited about it. You want to be proud of it. Avoid trendy styles and what everyone else is doing. Go make great, honest art that comes from the heart!
(Having said that, nothing wrong with having our heroes and getting inspiration from them!)
and three for fun…
What are three words that best describe you?
What is your favourite colour?
I don't have a favourite colour, I like many colours, in fact I like all bold, bright happy colours and I also like intriguing, mysterious, moody colours.
I do have an UNfavourite colour, and that is beige. There's nothing sadder, more unimpressive or as bland and unsavouringly boring as beige.
If you could share a cuppa with anyone (alive or dead), anywhere, who would it be and where would you go?
Why, the Tiger who came to Tea, of course.
Tiger could come to my house, so we'd skip formalities (although he's known for not caring and having bad manners). I should have the kitchen cupboards well loaded and maybe order some baked goodies, tons of tiger food and gallons of tea.
Being aware of the implausibility of a real tiger knocking at my door, I would love to share a cuppa with Judith Kerr and talk about picture books and… tigers!
HUGE thanks to Fabi Santiago for featuring on the Mudwaffler and for this absolutely super illustration of the Mudwaffler in a tutu!

Swamp Hugs! Till the next time…

Countryside Stewardship opened its doors for the second year yesterday (March 14, 2016).
As of yesterday, farmers and land managers can apply for the mid and higher tiers of Countryside Stewardship.
After a turbulent start to the scheme, Natural England have made a number of improvements for the 2016 roll out.
These changes include an earlier and longer application window than 2015, running from March 14 to September 30.
New and improved guidance material has also been produced for those considering applying for the scheme. This guidance has been designed in consultation with industry so it is clearer and better meets farmers' needs.
Guy Thompson, Natural England's Chief Operating Officer, said:
"Through Countryside Stewardship, farmers and land managers have an important role to play in protecting and improving England's diverse landscapes and the wildlife that inhabit them.
"We've taken on board the lessons learned from last year and the feedback we've received along the way from farmers, and have made a number of improvements to Countryside Stewardship. Applicants will now have more time to develop their agreements and better information to help them.
"Countryside Stewardship funding goes towards projects that will make the biggest possible difference to the environment and we look forward to seeing what the year ahead will bring."
The Mid Tier of Countryside Stewardship offers five-year agreements for environmental improvements in the wider countryside, such as reducing diffuse water pollution or improving the environment for birds, pollinators and farm wildlife.
Higher Tier specifically focuses on environmentally important sites, including commons and woodlands, where the more complex management requires support from Natural England or the Forestry Commission, including tailoring of options.
Grant Checker is an online tool that allows you to look up and research agricultural grants, loans and scholarships available to you as a farmer.
You can access the Grant Checker via your desktop computer, tablet or a mobile device to search grants based on your location and age.
For more information about this, and other grants available to you, visit FG Insight's Grant Checker by clicking here.

Dell is living proof that cramming Android into any old generic phone design is not enough to woo cellular providers. Consumers have become a fairly tech-savvy crowd and a nifty OS alone, like Android, isn't enough if the hardware is blah.
After finding disinterest from carriers they approached, Dell is going to have to hastily return to the drawing board and find a way to design some inspiring hardware that will keep them in the Android game. Will they be able to deliver the goods?

Daily Update
Posted by Faye Bell on April 12, 2012 at 18:53:08:
The Fully Dressed Doll from Tonner ~ "SCARLETT-HEARTBROKEN" ~ has arrived.

12 Top Tips for Boat Diving1st August 2011 | Jackie Hutchings
If you're a new to scuba diving, here are some useful tips to help you get the most from boat diving. With just a small amount of preparation, you can make sure you get the most from the diving.
- Save your self the trouble of going back to the dock or worst missing your dive. Make it a habit to check your gear at the dock before you get on the boat. Have you got your fins? Did you check that you rented the right size and right weight equipment from the dive shop?
- Try small mesh bags to keep all your scuba gear together. This is especially handy on crowded boats — you don't want to get your stuff mixed up with someone else's.
- When you find a seat on the boat, take the time to remember to put your stuff under the seat: scuba diving mask, dive mask, defogger, diving fins, scuba diving computer, wetsuits etc. all go under the seat. This may seem like common sense but never put weights on the seats where they can roll off and do major damage to someone's bare tootsies!
- Remember that there are different rinse buckets on the dive boat for a reason. There are rinse buckets for masks, maybe one for cameras. Don't carelessly toss fins, wetsuits into rinse buckets, or you wil annoy a fellow diver! If you're not sure what gear gets rinsed where, just ask the divemaster.
- Don't be the one diver that makes everyone else in the boat wait! Get to the dive centre or boat early to sign in, get your equipment and make sure everything is OK. Best of all, you'll have the chance to assemble your gear to avoid feeling rushed. Once at the dive site, you can be more leisurely and enjoy what you came to do!
- Here's a stress-saving tip: find out if the dive boat crew will assemble your gear for you. If so, great! You'll save time having to assemble your stuff at the dock. It will also save you the trouble of trying to put your things together if the boat ride is rough. Most of all, you'll have time to think about the dive at hand and not feel rushed. You'll know ahead of time if you're missing anything and can avoid any surprises once you're out on the dive boat.
- Before you get into the water, the divemaster will give you important information like how to enter the water, where you'll be heading, the time of the dive and the maximum depths you'll reach. This is the Dive Briefing and you must listen to it! You'll need to stay informed about special conditions at the site you may not have known about like changing currents which can change your dive experience in unexpected ways.
- Take special precautions near dive boat ladders especially when the water is rough. As much as you'd like to hang onto the ladder while waiting to get into the boat after the diver ahead of you, don't do it. He could fall and land on top of you, and if by chance he's got his BC and tank on, you could get hurt pretty badly.
- Taking along a drybag is pretty important. During a diving interval, it can get cold and it's a big deal to me if you can put a towel or jacket around me. This is especially true in locations where large weather variations between dock and divesite are commonplace. Drybags are great for things like keys and money.
- Sunscreen is something you really can't do without. Sometimes when it's cloudy, you may not think the rays are getting to you but they are. In sunny dive spots especially in tropical countries, the sun is especially and unexpectedly brutal, something some inexperienced divers have had to find out the hard way. Bring sunscreen always. Apply and re-apply between dives.
- What is the custom for tipping the divemaster and crew? Generally, you should tip if you're happy with the service after the dive. If you'll be having the same divemaster and crew on a series of dives thoroughout your trip, it's also okay to tip at the very end and isn't necessary to tip separately each day.
- Never swim back to your dive boat from underwater. To be safe, ascend a few yards from the boat and only swim towards it from the surface when you are sure that a crew member has seen you. Also make sure that the boat is stationary when approaching it.

I suppose there is something broken with the patch you have. If you post all the files you have I can take a look.

In Greece, feta is so beloved that it's a cornerstone of history. In Homer's "The Odyssey," written near the end of the 8th century B.C., the Cyclops makes a sheep's milk cheese that is believed to have been the creamy white, salty confection.
Transporting his flock's milk in skin bags made of animal stomachs, so the story goes, the one-eyed giant found that the milk had curdled and taken a solid, decidedly delicious form.
West Sonoma County farmers Missy and Joe Adiego won't be using skin bags, but for all other purposes their new feta, launched this month, is as close to the original as many Americans will see outside of traveling to Europe.
Unique products
Crafted from 100 percent sheep milk in small batches at their Petaluma/Bloomfield creamery, it's all natural, offering a creamy texture with just a bit of classic firmness and a traditional salty finish.
As the only dairy selling sheep milk as a bottled, retail specialty in the United States, Haverton has been recognized for unique products since opening in 2010.
The product line now contains butter and ice cream, all made from pure milk supplied by their pasture-raised flock of more than a thousand East Friesian sheep.
The "pure" is an important distinction for the farmstead creamery, which won first place in the 2015 American Cheese Society Awards craft butter category and was a finalist in the food category for the 2015 Martha Stewart American Made audience choice awards.
"We wanted to offer a true local sheep milk feta cheese, one that is from right here and not imported," said Missy Adiego.
"Some companies use frozen milk, but we milk in the morning and make the cheese that same day."
Pure sheep milk
Carr Valley Cheese and Hidden Springs Creamery, both in Wisconsin, make pure sheep milk feta, but under the American Cheese Society sheep's milk feta guidelines, domestic feta can be, and most often is, made with cow milk, goat milk or a mix of sheep and cow milk.
In 2005, the European Union decreed that only Greek cheese made from at least 70 percent sheep's milk can rightfully bear the label "feta," yet those rules don't apply in the United States.
Part of the reason for the scarcity is cost. Haverton's artisanal feta is made-to-order with a light brine of a 30-day shelf life, and an 8 oz. package rings up at $10.50 to $12, depending on the retailer.
"The price reflects our milk yield," Adiego said. "Our ewes only produce half of what a goat does per day, and even less than what a cow does."
But consumers can enjoy higher nutritional benefit, she noted. Sheep milk contains almost twice as much protein and Vitamin D as cow milk, plus substantial amounts of vitamins A, D, E, B12, folic acid, zinc, magnesium and phosphorous.
It also has less milk sugar than cow's milk and is naturally homogenized, which makes it easily digestible and a good alternative for lactose-intolerant people.
Authentic flavor
Then there's the authentic feta flavor, which can be described as having an appealingly "barnyard" tang versus the more mild, grassy taste and crumbly texture of cow milk feta.
Making the delicacy seemed like a natural evolution for the small company, where the Adiegos do mostly everything themselves, from milking to crafting to packaging the finished goods by hand.

"The extreme Cerebral differs from other types chiefly in the fact that while his head is unusually large compared to the body, his alimentive, thoracic, muscular and bony systems are smaller and less developed than the average. The latter fact is due to the same law which causes the Alimentive to have a large body and a small head. Nature is a wonderful efficiency engineer. She provides only as much space as is required for the functioning of any particular organ, giving extra space only to those departments that need it."

Due to popular demand and the fact that we love trying weird foods and candies, The A.V. Club will now regularly feature "Taste Tests." Feel free to suggest disgusting and/or delicious new edibles for future installments: E-mail us at email@example.com.
Kettle Chips Fire And Spice voting pack
For several years running now, Kettle Chips has let consumers buy limited-edition sampler boxes of prototype chips, taste-test them, and vote on which of the included flavors should go into mass-market production. This year, the five flavors were all spicy (and mostly kind of boring, compared to last year's Chocolate and Curry chips), and the five-flavor sampler box was collectively called "Fire And Spice." Here in the A.V. Club's gleaming laboratories, we sampled all five flavors to see which one would be… America's Next Top Model. Oops, we mean America's New Favorite Painful-To-Eat Chip. Here are the results:
Jalapeno Salsa Fresca:
Taste: Potato chips are supposed to be salty, but eating one of these chips is initially like popping an entire salt lick into your mouth. The initial sensation isn't flavor, so much as the sense of the salt crystals devouring every last bit of moisture coating the inside of your cheeks. That's followed by a fairly distinct tomato-y taste with a hint of citrus, and then just hot spice. Aftertaste: a burning sensation. The spice level isn't all that intense initially, but it builds and builds and builds on the oversalted dry-mouth sensation, until the overall experience is more like a mouthful of burning than a mouthful of spicy chip.
Office reactions:
• "That's not very spicy."
• "It tastes like a taco."
• "That's fine." "Yeah, it's fine. Just reminds me of BBQ chips. Maybe a little spicier."
• "I don't… mind it. Meh."
• "I like that you can taste lime in there."
• "It starts mellow and finishes pretty strong."
• "The freshest powdered salsa I've ever tasted."
• "Those are really intensely salty, but eventually, once the salt fades, they've got some interesting flavor. Fresh salsa at first, and then just hot-spicy."
• "These would go well with a warm turkey sandwich with hot mustard."
• "I like these. They're a great synthesis of all the flavors that they seem to be trying to achieve. Everything's there. It's a good fancy-chip."
• "I like salt, and these are almost too salty. Very spicy, too. But I like 'em a lot."
Mango Chili:
Taste: This is another super-salty chip, only marginally less moisture-sucking than the Jalapeno Salsa Fresca, but with less flavor to balance out the salt and the wicked hot aftertaste that spreads across the tongue and crawls down the throat. They aren't particularly mango-ey; none of our taste-testers thought they were remotely fruity, though some thought they were possibly just a little bit sweet.
Office reactions:
• "These are really good. I'd eat these. But I love salt."
• "I can sort of smell the mango as I'm putting them into my mouth, but I don't really taste it. But I don't really want mango in my chips anyway, so that's okay."
• "Yeah, if I wanted mango, I'd eat fruit."
• "Boy, that spice really sticks with you."
• "That really blew my throat out. It's SO SPICY."
• "Mine doesn't have any actual flavor at all except 'spice.' Are you sure these aren't Paper-Flavored Chips?"
• "Yeah, it's kind of just a vessel for spice."
• "I love these. They're delicious."
• "Mmm, wow. These are really good. Kinda spicy!"
• "Any flavor of mango is immediately overpowered by the flavor of HOT. I like them, but they aren't worth the fire."
Wicked Hot Sauce:
Taste: These have a slight sour vinegar taste, but mostly, like barbecue chips, they just taste like straight-up spice. In spite of the name, though, they aren't as painfully hot as the Jalapeno Salsa Fresca chips. They leave a mild hot sensation on the back of the tongue that intensifies gradually over time (at least if you stop scarfing down chips long enough to let the taste build), but the overall flavoring is less complicated and less strong. They're also considerably less salty. They're a good basic utility chip, popular with our testers but not very interesting overall.
Office reactions:
For the first time in a taste test, we were unable to get cogent reactions out of people; for most, the reaction boiled down to "These are good!" with the occasional "These are fucking good!" Unlike with most A.V. Club taste tests, wherein people dubiously took a bite or two of the sampled confection and then moved on, in this case, people kept grabbing the bag for more. For once, there were no detractors. Also, no leftovers.
Death Valley Chipotle:
Taste: Less salty than other chips in this pack–and without the visible large salt-crystals–these chips are fairly well-named: They give the impression of an arid dryness. They even seem less greasy than most potato chips, as if they were baked rather than fried. The first impression is of a vague, almost sugary sweetness, immediately chased by a dry hotness that spreads rapidly into a pleasant burning sensation across the tongue and the roof of the mouth, obliterating any other sense of taste.
Office reactions:
• "Wow, those are hot. Those are really, really hot. You should drink a glass of water before you try those. They really cut into your throat."
• "These are really tasty… oh. Ow."
• "This doesn't taste that different from the other salsa ones to me, but it's a little more intense. Might be good with a cool dip to even it out. I'd definitely eat these, but I'd be afraid of them overwhelming anything else I tried to eat with them."
• "I don't think it's as good as the other hot chips. Yeah, it's spicy, but otherwise, eh."
• "Wow. Holy shit. [Coughing.] I cannot eat this chip in a dignified way. It's tasty as hell, though."
• "Tastes like a roasted squirrel. That's a good thing, I think. Like a burning squirrel from a movie, where a bunch of people are camping out roasting whatever they can find over a campfire, skewered on a stick. Sort of a little barbecue flavor, and a little dirt."
• "Tastes a little like curry. It's really hot. My tongue continues to burn. And yet I continue to eat."
Orange Ginger Wasabi:
Taste: This is the least salty and the least spicy of the bunch, and also the most flavorful. And also the balls-out weirdest. Between the wasabi and the not-at-all-sweet orange flavor, these are strangely bitter chips, and the aftertaste is more ginger than the hot burning sensation of the other four flavors in the box. Overall response was positive, but confused:
Office reactions:
• "Well, they got the name right. First I tasted orange, then ginger, then wasabi." "I actually got the orange first." "Maybe you're dyslexic."
• "I like these the best. It isn't just about 'Eat this because it's spicy.' It's 'Eat this because it tastes good. Also, it's spicy.'"
• "That's very strange." "Is it good-strange or bad-strange?" "I don't know. The orange is more like orange peel. It's more bitter than sweet."
• "Tastes kind of like those spicy wasabi peas."
• "I'm not sure it works. The orange kind of muddles the flavor. It tastes… pungent? Can pungent be a taste?"
• "Ewww! It tastes like wasabi!"
• "Could be spicier. The orange is too subtle."
• "That flavor sounds like a train wreck… Hm. It's like different flavors and textures fighting for my attention. Yeah, that is a weird, weird, poorly considered taste combination."
• "I think it would work better without the orange, actually. It's too sweet."
Where to get them: Kettlefoods.com, though it's unclear how long they'll be available: voting closes on Friday. If you can't live without one of these flavors, better go vote now. (And no, you don't have to taste the chips first: The website makes that perfectly clear.) Meanwhile, The A.V. Club is gonna go drink some water.
