Justin's Organic Peanut Butter Cups
I am a huge proponent of improving upon classic candies. The peanut butter cup is so simple, yet there are a few weaknesses in the most commonly found ones on store shelves.
So could a company known for it's amazingly fresh tasting peanut butter (and other nut butters) make something like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup even better? The new Justin's Organic Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and Justin's Organic Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups have a lot going for them in their lists of specs. They're all-natural, organic and gluten-free, they use fair-trade chocolate, contain no preservatives and are packaged in compostable wrappers.
They're also about $2 per package of two cups. Premium has a premium price. But I was on board, I wanted to see if eco-awareness would make the actual candy tastier (and possibly limit my other candy consumption because of the pricetag.) So after I got them home and took a few pictures I turned over the package to see some serious trash talk from Justin himself:
I don't mind a little puffery in sales copy, but I don't like it when my preferences are insulted. Why would Justin start out our relationship by exhibiting such contempt for my predilections? (For the record, my problems with Reese's have never involved the peanut butter, it's about the lackluster chocolate.) It took me a while to shrug this off, but I think I managed to center myself back to zero on the predisposed opinion scale.
Justin's Organic Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
There are two cups in the package, which weighs 1.4 ounces (Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are 1.5 ounces per two cup package). Each cup is exactly 100 calories.
I picked these up at Whole Foods within a week or so of them being placed on store shelves (I frequent the one near my office for lunch and I always cruise by the chocolate shelf). The "best by" date was 5/11, so they're are definitely fresh. Yet there was a slight bloom on all of the cups. This is the opposite of the issue I usually have with peanut butter cups, which tend to get a greasy sheen as the peanut butter oils migrate into the chocolate.
They smell wonderful, mostly like grassy, fresh peanuts but with a light note of milk and cocoa.
What I noticed first when biting into the cup was how sandy and dry the center was. Most peanut butter cups will bend first, this crumbled and broke into chunks. Not a bad thing, just different. The chocolate is silky smooth and like a silky not-to-sweet chocolate butter. The peanut butter center is salty and sweet with strong roasted peanut notes. The texture is odd, it's not pasty or buttery, it's crumbly. It's not grainy either, it's a very fine sort of powdery texture. The chocolate really makes up for a lot of that with its silken texture and consistent melt.
The other thing I noticed, as the photo shows is that it's not a coherent block of peanut butter filling. It has some swirls of milk chocolate in it and a rather thick chocolate reservoir on the top. This was the same with all of the cups that I got (see the dark chocolate one below as well).
So after the milk chocolate version, I was definitely curious how the dark chocolate would fare with the different texture style for the peanut butter center.
The Justin's Organic Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are also gluten free, organic, use fair trade chocolate, Kosher and packaged in biodegradable wrappers. They're also vegan. I consider this a pretty big deal, lots of dark chocolate bars are considered vegan but very few "candy" bars are. (But note that they are processed on shared equipment that has been used for dairy ingredients, so they're not for folks with dairy allergies.)
Many all natural products have brief ingredients lists, but Justin's is quite elaborate, mostly because each ingredient needs a qualification:
* denotes Rainforest Alliance Certified products
I don't know what the status of Palm Fruit Oil is on the list of palm oils these days. Palm plantations displace rainforest, but then again this is organic. Maybe some free range, wild-foraged palm fruit oil would be preferable.
The chocolate is silky smooth, just as the milk chocolate version was, but much more intense. In this case the chocolate flavors overpower the peanut butter flavors in many bites (mostly because of the inconsistent distribution of the chocolate, both of my cups had a full chocolate center). The cocoa flavors are woodsy with a slight acidic burn and tannic, bitter bite. It balanced well with the lightly sweet peanut butter center.
I liked the chocolate but I bought these because I thought they were peanut butter cups. Where's my peanut butter!
I like that the peanut butter is less sweet than many other peanut butter confections, but I wanted it to be more buttery, it was like they used peanut flour instead of actual ground peanuts with all their glorious native oils. For this price I need a cup that delivers consistent ratios of peanut butter and chocolate. It's a new product and maybe they don't have things worked out, but the fact that the same swirling and high chocolate ratio occurred in both versions leads me to believe that this is either intended or permitted. Some folks might prefer it that way, so there's a unique selling proposition for Justin's. But it doesn't rise to the level of Peanut Butter Cup Perfection.
Justin's Nut Butters makes a variety of nut butters, like Honey Almond (which I love) and also a Hazelnut Chocolate (which I haven't tried yet) ... so once they get their inconsistencies settled, I think that should be their next product developed. An Organic, Fair Trade Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Butter Cup. Then we'll talk about chocolate nut cup perfection.
I picked up some new samples of Justin's Organic Peanut Butter Cups at ExpoWest. They were given to me directly by Justin himself. The packaging is identical, but the cups are greatly improved.
My main complaints about the cups were that the peanut butter was too dry and there was too much chocolate. New versions hitting store shelves addressed this. As you can see from the photo above, the peanut butter is more consistently distributed in the center and appears less crumbly and dry. The chocolate shell still has a crisp, well tempered bite to it, but the peanut butter portion is well defined and flavorful. It tastes like a little darker roast as well and perhaps even a little saltier.
On the milk chocolate version I have to update my rating to 9 out of 10. Justin really did rise up to the challenge he made on the wrapper, this is better than a Reese's.
The dark chocolate version also gets an upgrade, but only to 8 out of 10. It's vegan, so that's a huge thing, but the chocolate is still bitter and has a strong olive and grassy taste to it that overpowers the peanut flavors. The textures were excellent and the ratios dead on perfect.
My last hesitation on this product line is still the price though, but they're definitely worth it now.
I was a bit overwhelmed when talking to Justin that I forgot to mention my desire for the Hazelnut Cup (though he said he'd read the review). Instead of pitching that I told him I wanted someone to make an all-natural peanut butter that had an additional bit of cocoa butter in it instead of hydrogenated tropical oils to keep it emulsified. The cocoa butter would keep it from separating but also add that inimitable texture, (and if you used un-deodorized) a light malty taste and keep it spreadable.

Equal Exchange Dark Chocolate: 65%, 71% & 80%
The first experience I had with fair trade chocolate as Equal Exchange exactly five years ago. I was in love with their ethics and their product. Fair Trade as a concept means that everyone in the chain to create a product for sale gets a fair payment. It also means that working conditions are safe and that child labor or slaves are not engaged.
The bars are now much easier to find and the breadth of the program and the product line has expanded over the years. I was sent this assortment of their darkest bars: Ecuador 65%, Very Dark 71% and Panama 80%. First of all, they've redesigned their packaging to great effect. The wrappers are simple and compelling and distinctive in the now cluttered world of chocolate bars. The focus is on the product and the producers, the inside of the wrapper details Equal Exchange's programs.
Each bar is 3.5 ounces and is certified organic and Kosher. Unlike some Fair Trade bars, all of the ingredients in Equal Exchange's dark bars are Fair Trade content.
The Organic & fairly traded Dark chocolate from Ecuador (the bar on the top of the pile) is 65% cacao content. The bar looks crisp and perfect, right down to the snap when I broke it in half. Each bar is sealed inside an opaque plastic sleeve to keep it fresh.
This bar did have a crunch to it, the tempering was crisper than the other two bars. It smelled of toffee and stewed fruits. It was sweet on the tongue at first but had a lot of flavors going on immediately, a light tangy note of apricots and then some more fudgy flavors like the tasting notes predicted. It was sweet and didn't have the puddly melt like the others but still had a very fine texture.
The Organic & fairly traded Very Dark chocolate is 71% cacao content but doesn't list the origin beyond "Latin America." The bar was nicely molded, shiny and with no voids or bubbles. It had a slight red cast to it.
71% has a great blend of flavor characteristics. It has a rich scent, very woodsy with coffee and cherry notes. On the tongue I was getting more green notes, like olives and asparagus plus a little hint of charcoal. It's bitter but also has a silky melt that's also a little sticky.
The Organic & fairly traded Extra Dark chocolate from Panama is 80% cacao content. This bar was more of a smoky brown and had less of the red color that the other two had.
This bar smells distinctly like raisins, tangy and fruity with a little wine note to it. The flavor is the same: a strong tannin base but with berry and cherry notes. It's a little tangy but with a great soft melt on the tongue and a light dry bite. For a very dark bar this is incredibly munchable, smooth and not too bitter or chalky.
I found myself drawn to both the 80% and the 65% for wildly different reasons, they were all distinct but those two fit my desire for rich chocolate at the moment. I liked the wrappers and the plastic sleeve that held its own (I was able to put the uneaten portions back in there without making a crumbly mess or melting it by handling too much).
Equal Exchange has also made some more "candy" version of their bars such as Organic Chocolate Caramel Crunch with Sea Salt and Orange Dark Chocolate. I'll have reviews of those soon. All of their chocolate is a pretty good value, retail for these bars is around $4.00 which is less than some of the more upscale bars but more than your standard Lindt or Ghirardelli.
They're vegan, soy free and gluten free. They may contain traces of tree nuts, milk and peanuts.

Newman's Own Ginger Mints
As some of you who follow along on my twitter or flickr photostream might know, I'm an avid whale watcher. For the past six years I've been a certified naturalist with the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium and American Cetacean Society and lead whale watching trips as a volunteer from December to April in the nearby Santa Monica Bay when the Gray whales migrate by.
I love it so much that I often go up to Santa Barbara in the summer to see our other nearby visitors: Blue whales and Humpback whales who come to feed near the Channel Islands. Unfortunately I also have a problem with motion sickness. So I'm often seen on the boats eating little ginger candies (and sharing them with other like-stomached passengers).
Ginger has been proven to reduce nausea. The great thing about that is that I love the taste of ginger and it's not an expensive product for the most part.
I found these Newman's Own Organics Ginger Mints at Mother's Market in Orange County. They were only a buck and a nice compact format, like a roll of mints instead of an awkward package of individually wrapped candies (the wrappers can get blown away on a boat and into the water) or a tin (which can easily spill while I'm trying to open it).
The little disks are about 3/4 of an inch around and have a little "Newman's Own Organics" engraved into them.
They smell toasty and earthy with a light citrus note. They're sweet and a little chalky on the tongue, like Life Savers Wintergreen at first. The ginger is readily apparent, very woodsy and with a strong warming property that kept the back of my tongue and throat burning.
They dissolve quickly or can be chewed easily, which I guess speeds relief. I don't know if ginger really works for tough stomach upset, but I find that occupying myself with hard candies (even non-ginger kinds) helps. Anything that keeps nausea from really taking hold can help since the cruises are only 2 to 3 hours. They're sweet and not that complex overall, there's no lemon or honey in them. But they seem to do the trick for me. I like how small and portable the package is.
As an organic product, as you can guess, they're natural and contain no colorings. They're Kosher and vegan. However, they are manufactured on shared equipment with peanuts, nuts, milk, wheat and soy.
I'll leave you with a photo from last weekend. There is a strange and welcome gathering of Blue whales off of Los Angeles right now, at least 30 individuals hanging out within 5 miles from shore. They've never been spotted here in these numbers like this before. They've been feeding on a huge upwelling of krill, and I guess they'll stick around as long as there's food. So if you've ever wanted to see the biggest animal on earth (ever), get yourself out to the sea. I go out with Voyager Excursions.

Endangered Species Organic Chocolate
Endangered Species Chocolate's hook is that the packages feature attractive, threatened animals and their profits go towards education about and protection of the environment.
They recently reformulated all their bars when they got a new cacao source (which does change the flavor profile for high end chocolate), so they sent me an array of bars to try. Today I thought I'd start with their simplest offerings, their single serving bars in Organic Dark Chocolate 70% Cocoa and Organic Milk Chocolate 43% Cocoa.
The chocolate in the bars is Rainforest Alliance Certified as well as gluten free, Kosher, organic and ethically trade. The dark chocolate bar is also vegan (though made on equipment that also processes diary, peanuts and tree nuts). The package is made of 30% post-consumer recycled material yet it's pretty nice to look at. The 70% Dark bar features the Karner Blue Butterfly, which is only about 3/4 of an inch across but a sparkling iridescent blue that draws the eye.
The bars are nicely proportioned. They're slender - about 5.25" long and only 1.5" wide. Each is divided into three segments that are slightly domed and thick enough to provide a satisfying snap when broken.
The melt is smooth for the most part, though I did get an occasional spot of grit (fibery bits of cacao). It's thick and lightly acidic with some bitter cherry notes. There's coffee and anise and maybe some light citrus peel plus a strong note of vanilla. It puddles like pudding on the tongue and though I think there's a smidge too much cocoa butter in it, the ratios support the flavor profile well. There are a lot of flavors going on and at times the finish is dry while other pieces I'm noticing a much lighter green tea note at the end.
Sometimes very dark chocolate isn't as munchable as milk or milder stuff. It's as if it's too complex; this bar is dark and has a good mix of flavors but doesn't feel too sophisticated for snacking. It pairs well with salty foods as well as nuts and dried fruits.
The second bar is the Organic Milk Chocolate 43% Cocoa Bar. I have to say that 43% is a pretty dark shade of milk chocolate. Some are as low as 20% cocoa content and there are those that go as high as 68% - but the low 30% range is what I think we're most accustomed to.
This package features a lion. The package tells me that lions spend up to 21 hours a day sleeping. The rest of that time is spent in search of food, though they don't eat every day. The package also says that lions are the only felines that live in social groups, maybe meaning that society leads to such high levels of cooperation that 21 hours of sleep are possible ... maybe we could learn something from that.
I stuck the milk on top of the dark here to show you the difference in color.
The main dairy ingredient in this bar is organic milk powder. It smells just like that - like sweet powdered milk.
The snap is much softer than the dark chocolate, though not fudgy like some milk bars like Cadbury can be. The melt is smooth, though not light and slick like Dove. It's much thicker and velvety. The dairy notes fade and there's a stronger caramelized sugar flavor along with the stronger bitter cocoa notes. There's a hint of coffee, toffee and cedar in there.
This wasn't my style of milk chocolate, it's just too powdered milk flavored to me. I don't know quite what that flavor is, but it reminds me of nutrition, which is not what I want in my treat. I'm guessing that this is just the profile that others prefer. The fact that it's organic will also have appeal for folks who are looking to avoid hormones in their dairy products.

Sun Cups
Sunflower Butter Cups ... saying it out loud it doesn't even make sense, is it a flower or is it a candy? Seth Ellis Chocolatier of Boulder, Colorado has come out with a nut free, peanut free, gluten free, fair trade and organic candy. They simply call them Sun Cups.
Sun Cups come in milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Confusing sounding name aside, they're sunflower butter (like peanut butter only made with sunflower seeds) in a chocolate cup. Just like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, except, well, not like them.
Each cup is .75 ounces and comes in the industry standard dark brown fluted paper cup. The packages I picked up from the Seth Ellis booth at the Winter Fancy Food Show were flawless and perfect. Even the glossy and bold packaging is made from a compostable film.
The Milk Chocolate Sun Cups smells sweet and milky. There's a touch of sunflower scent, but mostly it's a fresh note. The organic milk chocolate is silky smooth and has a strong European dairy note. It's cool on the tongue as it melts. The sunflower center is creamier than a Reese's, not exactly moist, but not crumbly and not oily. The center is made with sunflower butter mixed with white chocolate, so it's a little stiff but has an amazing melt with just a hint of sea salt.
The Dark Chocolate Sun Cups smell like semi-sweet chocolate - a little bit woodsy and fruity. The chocolate is actually rather dark and bitter and though it's vegan (no milkfat) the cups overall aren't because of the dairy in the white chocolate & sunflower center. The sunflower butter isn't very sweet, so the whole cup has a much more savory appeal to it. There's a grassy note to the sunflower which reminds me a little of jasmine tea and tahini.
I thought I was going to love the dark chocolate more than the milk chocolate, but I found both compelling for different reasons. In the milk chocolate version the milk flavors and silky textures blend together well for a decadent and rather fatty feeling treat. The dark chocolate version is deep and complex and kind of requires a little bit of attention while eating to appreciate how it all fits together.
The fact that they're gluten free and nut free (both tree & peanut) will set these cups apart from most others right away. The milk chocolate version will be easily gobbled up by kids with allergies and sensitivities without any feeling of them getting a compromise candy. Grown ups without allergies will still appreciate the social responsibility (organic & fair trade) behind them along with the tasty ingredients. I still prefer peanut butter, as it's a more rounded flavor, but I can't ignore how great these are.
They might be a little hard to find, though most Whole Foods will order if they're in the system and not on the shelves. They should be in Whole Foods (Rocky Mountain, Northwest and Bay Area) chain-wide at Pharmaca, Sunflower Markets, Cost Plus World Markets, Jimbo's in So Cal. I still haven't found them in stores yet, but they should retail for less than $2.00 a package. Hopefully they'll have individually wrapped ones around for Halloween later this year.

Rococo Bee Bars
Rococo is a small chocolatier and chocolate maker based in London. They grow their cacao in Grenada, in a partnership with the Grenada Chocolate Company. They grow organic Trinitario beans which are then turned into bars and fine chocolates at founder Chantal Coady's space in London.
The design of the packaging and candy itself is charming, quaint and distinctive from other chocolatiers. The flavors she employs are also a distinctive palette of aromatics, spices and florals.
The chocolate is sold primarily in Great Britain, though there are a couple of shops that have mostly the bars in North America. When I was in San Francisco last time I found the line of Bee Bars at Miette Confiserie. The bars are expensive, so I opted for the petite versions - these are only 20 grams each but cost $3.50 (that works out to $39.50 a pound). The bars are about three inches long, so really just one portion.
The packages are beguiling with reproductions of antique French chocolate mold images lined up and printed in pastel colors like purple and olive green in the case of my bars and navy blue, pink and orange for other bars. I picked up Organic Plain Lavender (dark), Organic Milk 37% Cocoa and Organic White Cardamom.
I was a bit surprised when I got home and opened my boxes that there is no inner wrapper. No foil, no cellophane, no overwrap for the box or even glue or tape for the tabs.
Still, my bar was in exquisite condition - glossy and beautifully molded. The bee bar, my guess, is named for the mold that has a little bee with outstretched wings on each segment. There are no honey ingredients.
The Milk 37% Cocoa Bee Bar is quite simple. It's a little softer than a dark chocolate, though certainly doesn't bend like a Cadbury bar.
It has the light scent of milk and sugar and a little musky hint or malt. It's quite dark for a milk which appeals to me, though it still has that light cooling effect on the tongue that's common in milk chocolate. The melt is silky and smooth though on the sticky side because of the sugar and 17% milk content. The chocolate notes are overshadowed by the milk for the most part, but it's still a great texture and the fresh dairy flavors are a highlight.
The Lavender Bee Bar is made from 65% cacao and uses no vanilla, instead it's organic lavender essential oil that gives this bar its pop. The fact that they use oil instead of flowers is different here. I've had other bars that use whole flowers to flavor the chocolate and while that does a nice job of imparting complex flavors, lavender buds really aren't that tasty or smooth.
The dark chocolate is smooth, a bit dry and bitter. The lavender is woodsy with a hint of pine and a whiff of aromatics like menthol. I like the flavor of lavender, it reminds me a lot of rosemary - both go well with all kinds of chocolate.
The bar that was most compelling to me was the White Cardamom Bee Bar. This one was wrapped - both in foil and then a paper-overwrap. The mold of the bar is also slightly different - it's four sections instead of six.
The bar is beautiful, a light and creamy yellow with specks of spice. The ingredients list 28% cacao (that'd be cocoa butter) and 22% milk.
I love cardamom and love tasting it in candy. This bar utilizes it perfectly, it's like a rich rice pudding. It's a little sweet, but the deep nutty flavors of the cardamom, which is kind of like nutmeg, coriander and saffron all in one. I could eat this bar regularly. I wouldn't mind a little vanilla in it, to give it some bourbon notes, but this is fabulous as it is.
Other flavor combinations I'm eager to try are Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh; Arabic Spices; Basil & Persian Lime; Orange & Geranium and Peppered Mint. For web orders in the US, it appears that Miss Del's General Store in Clarksdale, Mississippi. At these prices they're certainly not an everyday indulgence, more of a way to explore the world of flavors.

Green & Black's Peanut Milk Chocolate
The problem with Mr. Goodbar was that it was never Mr. Greatbar in the first place. When Hershey's replaced the cocoa butter in it, I completely lost interest. So, I've been looking for Mr. Betterbar because I still believed there could be a simple, satisfying combination of milk chocolate and fresh roasted peanuts. When I was at the Target in Harbor City shortly before Halloween I spotted this new bar: Green & Black's Peanut. Since Green & Black's is organic and expensive, I thought for sure it was going to be better.
After I got the bar home and photographed it, I read a little closer to see that it wasn't just a plain milk chocolate with whole (or half) pieces of peanuts. No, this was something quite different but still equally compelling: Milk chocolate with caramelized peanuts and a hint of sea salt - 37% Cocoa Content.
The bar looks smooth and shiny. It also looks darker than most milk chocolate bars, somewhere between a true dark and a milk chocolate. I like how Green & Black's bars are just a little thicker than the Lindt Excellence or Scharffen Berger. This is great especially when there are inclusions, because it leaves room for them to stack and still be surrounded by chocolate.
The bar smells incredible. It's deep and smoky with a great authentic peanut scent along with the faint hint of caramelized sugar and milk. The texture is equally great, there's a silky smooth melt and a sweet dairy flavor along with some dark bitter notes of both chocolate and toasted nuts. The peanut flavors are quite strong, and the nuts themselves are crunchy but there's also the wonderful surprise of both little buttery toffee bits and a crisp toffee coating on some of the peanuts. The salt is also a nice complement to the flavors, keeping the rather sweet milk chocolate from becoming too sticky and setting off the woodsy notes.
I ate this bar up in less than two days. Then I went looking for another. I still haven't found one, but when I see it, I'll buy it. Oddly enough, it's still not the Mr. Goodbar substitute I was looking for, but I'm going to just be happy with the serendipity that brought it into my life and be grateful that my mistakes are so tasty.

Marich Chocolate Sea Salt Cashews
When on vacation I often pick up candy that fits in the intersection between my candy tastes (pretty broad) and The Man's (not quite as broad but also includes many red flavors). Often we share things like Swedish Fish, Goetze's Caramel Creams, dark chocolate with nuts or gianduia.
On our travels we selected some Marich 72% Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Cashews at the Sweet Offerings shop. Yes, they were expensive at $6.95 for a 4.5 ounce package but they weren't for Candy Blog, they were just for eating. But I enjoyed them so much and was positive that I'd be referring to them again that I needed to review them.
Well, I couldn't find them. Instead I ended up with the pictured Marich Organic Chocolate Sea Salt Cashews which were similarly priced at Whole Foods.
The box seems like a little bit of overpackaging, but they do the job of protecting the candy inside (which is just in a cellophane bag). The box is 9 inches tall and 3 and a half inches at the base ... far larger than a four and a half ounce packet of candy really needs to be. It could easily be two inches shorter and not press on the candy at all. (But maybe they use the same format for a large variety of weights and this is simply efficient.)
Even though they're called a Sea Salt Cashews, the sodium levels are quite responsible. The package says that there are 60 mg in a 40 gram serving (about 1/3 of the package).
First, these cashews are huge ... and then the thick dark chocolate coating is, well, thick. So they're amazingly large. (I would compare them to my thumb, but I don't really want to repeat the photos of my digits & candy.)
The chocolate is dark and slightly bitter, the grassy and clean flavors of the cashews come through with the deep woodsy and coffee notes of the chocolate. Just three or four of them were quite satisfying. They hardly seemed like a sweet treat though. I honestly did a double take with the first few 72% ones I ate - they hardly seemed like candy because they're not sweet. It wasn't the little bit of salt in there that made them seem like they weren't sugary ... it was the fact that they weren't sugary. The salt just brought out the flavors.
Some of the cashews seemed over-toasted, to the point that they were actually a creamy brown color, so they were far crunchier and of course had a darker, breadier flavor. I liked the lighter cashews, personally.
I kept the package from the 72% and a couple of the cashews and found that the non-organic ones were made with a darker chocolate, if that's possible for it to be more savory. (Okay, full confession, that photo includes the packet of cashews from the organic in there, instead of photographing it empty, but believe me, you really can't tell them apart by looking at them.)
These are incredibly tasty, easy to eat and even though the packages are small and expensive, it's easy to be satisfied with only a handful. The ingredients and panning is superb - both packages were fresh & shiny.
Inside the flap on the organic version it says Brown is the new Green. Inside the 72% it says Rich, Dark and Gorgeous Has Never Looked Better.
Unfortunately the last ingredient on the list is resinous glaze, so even though the chocolate contains no dairy products, these aren't vegan. (But they are Kosher.) Another curious note, the 72% dark version contains 20% of your daily RDA of iron! Finally, though I paid the same amount for both versions, Whole Foods is actually cheaper overall - they have the non-organic items for $4.85, which felt kind of like a deal at this point.

Wellford man accused of forcing woman to perform sex act
Published: Monday, August 11, 2014 at 5:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 11, 2014 at 5:17 p.m.
A Wellford man has been charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct after deputies accuse him of forcing a woman to perform oral sex Friday night.
Spartanburg County Sheriff's investigators charged David Nesbitt, 72, of 726 Old Spartanburg Road, after they say he forced a woman, knowing she had mental defects or was physically helpless, to perform oral sex. The incident occurred at Reed's Residential Home when the woman told deputies Nesbitt "dragged her to the bathroom" and forced her to perform oral sex on him without her permission, an incident report states.
Nesbitt has denied any wrongdoing to investigators, the report states.
Nesbitt was taken to the Spartanburg County jail for booking.

In These Households, Women Are Calling the Shots
by Layton Han on Apr 24, 10:55 AM
The Luxury Institute released a report this week that identifies women not only as household CEOs, but also as contributing significantly to the household income. In fact, 41% of women included in the survey were the family breadwinners, contributing more than 50% of the household income. Despite the fact that these educated women are earning six-figure salaries, their top priority, per the survey, is still family.

Luxe In Flux: Tracking The Evolution Of Luxury
by Steve Kraus on Apr 17, 10:05 AM
In Selling to the New Elite, I devoted a chapter to the history of luxury, and argued that luxury is essentially a cultural universal, having existed in every culture and time period, but manifesting itself differently across time and place. Even in cultures not known for materialism, there are special objects and experiences that are highly valued precisely because they are special. In every culture there are objects that are beautiful, artistic, exquisite and sublime; there are experiences which are rare and memorable. In both cases, one who appreciates the luxury is emotionally uplifted by the pride and passion inherent ...

Smartphones Are From Mars, Tablets Are From Venus
by Pat LaCroix on Apr 10, 3:32 PM
The common assumption is that mobile refers to both smartphones and tablets, thus insinuating that each device is similar to the other. There are similarities, of course, as both devices are portable, personally customized, web/app connected and touch-screen enabled. Additionally, both devices have significant traction amongst Affluent audiences - as 67% of Affluents own smartphones (Nielsen) and 47% own tablets (Pew).

Incentivized Advertising: A Given For Some, Underused By The Rest
by Adam Salamon on Apr 3, 1:20 PM
The reasons for brands to engage with affluent consumers are simple enough. Affluents have larger disposable incomes and can purchase more goods and services. If their peers are other affluents, positive referrals from happy consumers can produce a powerful and profitable ripple effect. If they're prominent and respected in their offline lives, their influence can spread in their online networks to all sorts of consumers.

Benefits for the Health Sector
The IMHL is an ongoing forum that addresses and advances issues of health care worldwide. Here are two stories that exemplify the benefits of the program for the health sector.
Samuel Cuarto is an ordained Catholic priest and member of the Order of the Ministers of the Infirm. He lives in the Philippines, where he devotes himself to working among rural and marginalized farmers and fishermen, Indigenous peoples, and the urban poor. Upon reading the books of Henry Mintzberg as part of a course on development management, Father Cuarto decided to enroll in the IMHL in 2009. Over the course of five modules, IMHL colleagues and faculty mentors guided him in his reflections on leadership and challenged his thinking through exchanges that continue to this day. Most of all, the IMHL has helped him to recognize and nurture the seeds of change, and respond appropriately to organizational challenges. He uses this learning in his ongoing struggle to achieve universal access to healthcare in the Philippines, and in the collaborations he develops between community health programs, sustainable agriculture, nutrition, education, and environmental stewardship.
In the spring of 2006, Kathleen Ruddy, a breast surgeon, was accepted into the first class of the IMHL. Dr. Ruddy and her fellow IMHL candidate, Dr. Salman Al Sabah, a surgeon from Kuwait, joined forces to create the first International Breast Health Service at the Royal Hayat Hospital for Women in Kuwait City. The Kuwait Cancer Center, under the direction of the Ministry of Health, and with the guidance of Drs. Ruddy and Al Sabah, launched the country's first integrated breast health centre. Later that year, Dr. Ruddy and two other IMHL candidates, Drs. William Mbabazi and Possy Mugyenyi, received a grant from the World Health Organization to provide mammogram screening for women in Uganda.
Just prior to completing the IMHL program in 2008, Dr. Ruddy created the Breast Health & Healing Foundation, whose mission is to work towards understanding the causes of breast cancer and to use that knowledge to prevent the disease worldwide.


text: Quote: Originally Posted by euphoria89 IO latency is really the only element that differs from interface-interface. VI/Samples/Native effects are all computed by the host CPU/RAM. I don't agree, sorry. Latency is only one factor that needs to be weighed up. The largest factor separating audio interfaces is the driver performance @ those respective latencies, VI Samples/Native effects may be dependent on CPU/memory resources, but without the foundation of the driver performance in the first instance, performance variables can be huge. Quote: From all accounts, the Apollo has the same amount (if not slightly improved) latency from other similar devices. Someone posted values of around 5.3ms at 32 samples/buffer at 44.1Khz. If working at 96Khz, this would be less than half this value Can you point me to the thread where that is posted please. Is that Round Trip Latency or just for the Output ? FWIW : Both RME and Lynx PCIe /ADDA deliver under 3 ms RTL @ 032 Buffers , the UFX delivers 5.056 under USB/ 5.546 under FW @ 064. The practice of doubling the sample rate simply to lower latency doesn't pay off performance wise due to the extensive increase in processing overhead to do so. As I mentioned above but its worth repeating, RTL is only 1/2 the equation, the second half being how the drivers actually perform at those latency settings.

Bio and Links
I live in north Knox County TN and photograph in nearby areas of Anderson, Campbell, Union, Claiborn, Grainger and Knox County. All my FaG photos can be copied and used as needed. If the option is available, use e-mail to communicate with me instead of FaG messages.
In conjunction with my FaG photography, I am currently (2013-15) helping with a project to document the location and condition of East Tennessee Civil War soldiers' graves and markers.
I want all my photos to have legible inscriptions. I brush away dust and grass and remove (and replace) decorations. If still not readable, I brush away loose moss and lichens and will occasionally 'wash' molds from a stone (welcome to East Tennessee). I do nothing to fragile markers and vow to do less damage to stones than chemicals in rain, mold, moss and lichens do.
To Photo Requestors: I try to note and comply with instructions you addd to photo requests. If I don't, let me know and I will retake the photo. I don't photograph plot corner and 'Mom' and 'Dad' markers unless requested. I will search for graves In small cemeteries - they don't have formal plot locations nor a cemetery office anyway. I won't attempt to search a mega-cemetery - plot location is needed and you should provide it.
To other photographers: Sometimes I take a 'bad' photo but don't realize it till I get home. Feel free to post a better photo over any of mine. You are FAG's feet-on-the-ground. I admire your will to do whatever it takes to find and gain access to cemeteries; face sunbaked, frozen and wet conditions; combat bees, wasps, ticks, spiders and snakes; placate curious, dubious and occasionally irate people; and, with with your brushes and digging and pruning tools, cut or dig out a photographable view of markers. It is a job for determined workers. (Did I mention mosquitos, chiggers and poison ivy?)
To Memorial Creators and Managers: I note differences between the memorial and marker surname using the 'edit' page of the memorial. Fixing surnames makes the memorial findable.
Sometimes I 'survey' an entire cemetery. If I find graves that are not in FaG, I create memorials. Provided a 'good' reason, I will transfer memorials. Provide no reason and I will follow FaG guidelines.

Thank you for your effort. It is possible she could have been buried with her maiden name Foust or married name first husband Webber.The obit i have for her gave her 2ND husband's name. She has a son last name Webber buried there and a brother Foust.
The grandchildren i asked couldn't remember where she was buried so i sent for an obit. to get the info. where i was able to connect her the cemetery.

The library will be closed all day Friday, Oct 9th for staff training. We will reopen at 9am on Saturday morning as usual. The library book drop will be available 24/7 at the rear of the building under the awning and all items returned Friday will be backdated upon check-in. Have a great day!
The Reference Department is located on the second floor of the library. Staff members are eager to help patrons locate information from many resources to help with research and special projects. Internet access and word processing programs are also available to library cardholders in good standing.
