Retailing | Variety Comics, which opened in Chicago in summer 1974, will close its doors for good Halloween. "Business is down," says co-owner Vin Nguyen. "It's sad but you know, it is what it is." Nguyen and his partner Victor Olivarez bought the store in 2009 following the death of original owner Rick Vitone. [DNAInfo]
Conventions | The Houston Press looks at allegations of organizational problems and financial mismanagement at the Houston-based convention Anime Matsuri, which has been growing steadily (attendance at this year's event was 24,000), despite leaving a trail of lawsuits, unpaid bills and angry guests.

Publishing | Todd Allen pulls the camera way back for a broad look at four challenges facing the comics market: the shift from serial comics to graphic novels, editorial changes at DC Comics and Marvel, and the virtual monopolies that comiXology has in the digital sector and Diamond Comic Distributors has in print. How could that play out? "In the best-case scenario, Marvel's relaunch sticks with the audience, DC restaffs and regains its footing, the Direct Market retailers embrace risk diversification and increase their stock of independent comics, bookstores continue to expand their graphic novel selections. Comics enter a legitimate golden age. In the worst case, Disney and/or Warner Bros. both tinker with their formula of making monthly print comics and Direct Market retailers face a new and uncertain business model." [Publishers Weekly]

Creators | "I kind of understood inherently — and I wasn't really conflicted about this — that comics were not for me or by people who looked like me," says Noelle Stevenson. Discovering the "free for all" of webcomics, and seeing women making stories for women, changed her attitude, and at 23 she already has a solid career, as the creator of Nimona (which started as a webcomic) and one of the co-creators of Lumberjanes.

Passings | MAD Magazine writer Tom Koch passed away March 22 at age 89. He was a writer for the Bob and Ray radio comedy show in 1957, when MAD was trying to broaden its reach by featuring work by popular comedians. Koch adapted some routines he had written, and editor Al Feldstein realized his work was a good fit and asked him to to become a contribute. He wrote for the magazine for nearly four decades, contributing more than 300 pages, but he said he was proudest of a 1965 work, "43-man Squamish." It's still the magazine's most requested reprint.

Crime | Two cosplayers on their way to G-Anime were arrested Friday in Gatineau, Quebec, and their fake weapons were confiscated. The two men, who were wearing camouflage and carrying what appeared to be guns, were spotted in a parking lot near a number of government buildings (the Canadian Parliament was attacked by a lone gunman in October). Someone called the police, and they dispatched about a dozen officers who cordoned off the area and searched for the men. The cosplayers, who were both 18, were taken into custody and fined $270 for violating a municipal bylaw that prohibits carrying certain weapons in public or in a vehicle, although the law seems to be aimed at knives, bows and arrows, and swords, not guns. Their car was impounded, and their weapons are being held as evidence. G-Anime organizers posted a notice Friday asking attendees wearing camouflage or carrying replica weapons to wait until they arrive a the convention to change into costumes. [Ottawa Sun]
Bill Watterson's original artwork from his surprise guest stint in June on Pearls Before Swine sold at auction Friday for a combined $74,040, with the proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
According to The Associated Press, Heritage Auctions sold the three comic strips to three collectors, who wished to remain anonymous. The Dallas auction house had expected the pieces to bring in more than $30,000 combined (the June 5 strip alone went for $35,840).
The three original comic strips from Bill Watterson's surprise guest stint last month on Pearls Before Swine will be displayed this week at Comic-Con International before they're sold at auction Aug. 8, with proceeds benefiting The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
The collaboration, which came at the suggestion of the Calvin and Hobbes creator, marked Watterson's return to the comics page after a 19-year absence. Pastis teased readers that the week's storyline would "contain a mind-blowing surprise," but didn't reveal what it was. Nevertheless, some fans quickly uncovered clues that some of the strips were ghost-drawn by Watterson.
Comic strips | The art from cartoonist Bill Watterson's surprise return to the comics page earlier this month for a three-day stint on Pearls Before Swine will be auctioned Aug. 8 on behalf of Team Cul de Sac, the charity founded by Chris Sparks to honor Cul de Sac creator Richard Thompson, who has Parkinson's disease. The proceeds benefiting The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. A painting by Watterson of one of Thompson's characters sold in 2012 for $13,000 as part of a benefit auction for Team Cul de Sac. [Team Cul de Sac]
Creators | The tech news site Pando has fired cartoonist Ted Rall, just a month after hiring him, along with journalist David Sirota. While Rall wouldn't comment on the reason for his dismissal, he did say the news came "really truly out of a clear blue sky. I literally never got anything but A++ reviews," and he added that editor Paul Carr gave him complete editorial freedom. While Valleywag writer Nitasha Tiku speculates that the two had rubbed investors the wrong way, Carr disputes that, as well as other assertions in the article. Nonetheless, both Rall and Sirota confirmed they were let go. [Valleywag]
Saturday, aka Day 2, of HeroesCon was much busier for creators, so I didn't always get the opportunity to chat with them that I did on the first day of the Charlotte, North Carolina, convention. In those instances, in place of project updates I provide links to the creators and/or their related works.
Creators | Stan Lee arrived at Sydney Airport for the Supanova Pop Culture Expo and was immediately presented with a "Captain Australia" shield, colored gold and green rather than red and blue. The Supanova Pop Culture Expo kicked off today, and continues through Sunday. [The Daily Telegraph]
Comics | Hussain Al-Shiblawi says he doesn't usually mind the pamphlets he regularly receives from the local Bible Baptist Church in Roanoke, Virginia; even though he's Muslim, he finds them inspirational. But he takes strong exception to the latest one, a Jack Chick tract titled Unforgiven, which claims that all Muslims are going to hell. The pastor, who declined to go on camera, says his church doesn't create the pamphlets, it just distributes them, but he's willing to meet with Al-Shiblawi to discuss the comic. [WDBJ News]
To answer a question that many people have been speculating on: Yes, Bill Watterson did contribute to Pearls Before Swine this week.
The creator of the comic strip, Stephan Pastis, confirmed on his blog what many people have been speculating — the Calvin & Hobbes creator did indeed return to the comic strip page and teamed with Pastis on three strips this week.
Comparing the experience to searching for Bigfoot, Pastis describes how the collaboration came about. It started with a comic strip tribute to Watterson (see above) and Washington Post cartoonist Nick Galifianakis, who worked with Watterson on The Art of Richard Thompson, giving Pastis Watterson's email address. Pastis didn't think he'd get a response.
On Monday, cartoonist Stephan Pastis kicked off a new Pearls Before Swine arc by teasing that this week's strips "will contain a mind-blowing surprise." That tantalizing tweet, coupled with artwork in a decidedly different style and a couple of potential dialogues, led some readers to speculate that parts of the storyline are drawn by none other than Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson.
At The Daily Cartoonist, Alan Gardner lays out some of the evidence, both for and against, and rounds up some of the Twitter chatter on the subject. He acknowledges, "I'm not fully convinced that it is Bill."
The mission statement for Stripped!, a documentary by Dave Kellett (Sheldon) and Frederick Schroeder, is about forging a common history between webcomics and newspaper funnies. Not comic books, interestingly. I suppose that makes sense, as the most popular webcomics (xkcd, The Oatmeal and Penny Arcade) most closely resemble the four-panel forebears. It's starting to become standard practice, by the way, to refer these sort of webcomics as "gag-a-day" or "short-form."
Still, it's a delight to explore this oft-neglected corner in the world of sequential art. The days of the celebrity cartoonists like Milton Caniff and Al Capp are long past, as depicted in archival footage where they were treated as major celebrities on early TV shows. However, the list of interviewees for Stripped! are still recognizable industry titans: Lynn Johnston. Jeff Smith. Greg Evans. Jim Davis. Mort Walker. Cathy Guisewite, who hilariously has the letters "AACK" hanging in her home. And one name that brings the directors to the point of fanboy glee, Bill Watterson … the first time he's allowed his voice to be recorded. (Charles Schulz may no longer be with us, but his influential presence looms over the entire documentary.) It's wonderful seeing the faces of the creators behind so many iconic characters. They gather here to reminisce, sharing crude doodles drawn as a child, their cherished influences, and the highs and lows of working under the syndicate system.
Washington Post readers looking forward to a new installment of Stephan Pastis' Pearls Before Swine in Sunday's newspaper instead found a rerun after editors pulled the latest strip over objections to the use of the word "midget."
In the strip, which did appear on the Post's website, Goat and Rat are discussing how the acceptability of some terms changes over time, with "flight attendant" replacing "stewardess," "housekeeper" succeeding "maid" and, yes, "little person" becoming preferable to "midget." It's a setup for the duo's meeting with Willy the Word Decider, who's tasked with determining which terms are acceptable.

It looks like your well prepared.
Welcome to the forums.
Welcome to the forums.
I went to AIT at Redstone Arsenal 30 years ago.
I'll second that. I will try even harder to get to the hang this year. I only went into the woods once last year.
I'm glad you are well Chazz, and to many more years of hanging.
I use the Yukon Outfitters hammock for an every day hammock with the turtle dog stand. Try the one tree that is at the head end and one of the two trees that are growing together at the foot end...

I can't make it this weekend due to car problems, mine and my father's. Put a goat on the fire for me. I'll be at the Spring hang.
I made a 10' stand also and it just fits my 11.5" Yukon Outfitter hammock.
I was thinking of getting another section of fencing and make it shorter for an adjustable stand.
Yea, I like the idea of the back yard hang first. But if your willing to go I'm game.
I'll keep an eye on this thread.

How is the auction of the plants going?
As far as I know, the auction negotiations are still going on, well for Roseton at least. Rumblings that I am hearing is that Danskamer did not receive any bids. That should not be a surprise to any one as Mirant had a similar plant, Lovitt, which had to close down because it would have cost too much to install the required air quality control equipment - just like Danskamer.
According to the most recent court dockets, the hearing for the approval of the Danskamer / Roseton sale - AND - then the payment of the property and school taxes due on those plants is on Dec 14, 2012. Therefore, I would imagine that they would announce the successful bidder for Roseton ( just my guess ) by Monday or Tuesday next week, Dec 10 or 11.
Since this is the MB for Cadiz - I should point out that CDZI is displaying the same characteristics as the old DYN did - as DYN careened into bankruptcy. At least DYN had some power plants - but too much debt. Here CDZI has way too much debt but insignificant revenues. They are going to run out of working capital by the end of this month ( their words not mine per the latest 10Q ) plus the shareholder tangible deficit will be about $ 20 million this month and a $ 63 million note due by June of 2013 ( may be extended to Nov 2013 if they pay $ 600,000 CASH to the lender )
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Thanks Tex. I thought Danskammer also ran on gas though. What are your thoughts on buying the new shares of DYN?

Aliens VS Predator – DirectX 9/11
Everyone is familiar with the Aliens VS Predator franchise, this time Sega have rebooted the licence taking over from Sierra. AVP is a DirectX 11 game, which means we have advanced shadow rendering and high-quality tessellation for compatible cards.
Testing was performed at 1920×1200 with 2x anti-aliasing and maximum in-game settings.
Aliens Vs. Predator is the latest DirectX 11 title to be released, meaning we have four available with six announced as in development.
When looking at the results for Aliens vs. Predator it is important to remember that the GTX 275 is running at a lower detail level than the three Radeon cards. We are unable to turn on in-game anti-aliasing, tessellation or advanced shadows. The result is higher framerates but a gameplay experience which is not as attractive.
Looking to the comparison between the three Radeon cards we see the 5830 placed exactly as we would expect between the 5770 and 5850. It is closer to the 5850 in performance which is always good to see, as is its ability to run at 1920×1200 with 2x anti-aliasing and full detail/effects.

Posted on 11/29/2005 1:00:49 PM PST by cogitator
Two new studies of gases trapped in Antarctic ice cores have extended the record of Earth's past climate almost 50 percent further, adding another 210,000 years of definitive data about the makeup of the Earth's atmosphere and providing more evidence of current atmospheric change.
The research is being published in the journal Science by participants in the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica. It's "an amazing accomplishment we would not have thought possible" as recently as 10 years ago, said Ed Brook, a professor of geosciences at Oregon State University, who analyzed the studies in the same issue of this professional journal.
"Not long ago we thought that previous ice studies which go back about 500,000 years might be the best we could obtain," said Brook, who is also the co-chair of the International Partnerships in Ice Coring Sciences, a group that's helping to plan future ice core research efforts around the world.
"Now we have a glimpse into the past of up to 650,000 years, and we believe it may be possible to go as much as one million years or more," Brook said. "This will give us a fuller picture of Earth's past climates, the way they changed and fluctuated, and the forces that caused the changes. We'll be studying this new data for years."
As the data become more solid about the atmospheric conditions of the past, it's becoming increasingly clear that the current conditions of the past 200 years are a distinct anomaly, Brook said.
"The levels of primary greenhouse gases such as methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide are up dramatically since the Industrial Revolution, at a speed and magnitude that the Earth has not seen in hundreds of thousands of years," Brook said. "There is now no question this is due to human influence."
The ice cores being taken from Greenland, Antarctica and other sites provide an invaluable record of Earth's past climates, researchers say. By testing the gases and trace elements found trapped in these cores, scientists gain a better understanding of how climate and atmospheric gases interact and evolve.
"We predict, for instance, that rising levels of greenhouse gases will warm our climate," Brook said. "There's evidence that this is happening right now, and it would be interesting to find out if the same thing has happened at times in the distant past. And there are also concerns we're exploring about rapid shifts in climate."
Analysis of the older cores just removed from Antarctica, Brook said, are consistent with some of the quick changes in methane and carbon dioxide levels that are related to abrupt climate change. However, it also appears that the natural climate cycles in the distant past -- the development and retreat of Ice Ages, for instance -- were smaller in magnitude and had less fluctuation in atmospheric gases than what the Earth is now experiencing.
There are critical questions that work of this type may help answer, researchers say. One of the most obvious is the relationship between increasing levels of greenhouse gases and global warming. But there are also concerns that the Earth's climate may have changed very abruptly at times in the past, in complex interactions between the atmosphere, ocean currents and ice sheets.
Past studies of gases trapped in Greenland and Antarctic ice cores have suggested that Earth's temperature can sometimes change amazingly fast, warming as much as 15 degrees in some regions within a couple of decades. At the same time, there are concerns about the change of major ocean currents, such as those in the North Atlantic Ocean, that are responsible for the comparatively mild climate of much of Europe. If that "thermohaline circulation pattern" were to abruptly shut down, as has happened at times in the past, it could plunge much of the European continent into a climate more closely resembling that of central Canada.
According to Brook, continuing research will help to address many of these questions. The international committee he co-chairs, which involves representatives from 17 nations, is considering such work as a very deep ice coring project in Antarctica that might provide a record of atmospheric gases 1.2 million years ago, or even further back in time. Other studies are also anticipated in Greenland and the Arctic.
Some of these projects will require drilling in challenging locations on very old ice, Brook said, at considerable cost in initiatives that require international cooperation.
"Ice cores are the cornerstones of global change research," Brook said. "They have played a central role in showing how closely climate and greenhouse gas concentrations were linked in the past, and they are demonstrating also that very abrupt climate switches can occur."

Guaranteed a career!
Global warming? I'm for it!
I hear as soon as one core began melting, they decided global warming was at fault.
Yet this is evidence that the imperceptible change we have seen over the past few decades is the result of human activity. How is that?
Great news! How long will it be before we get rid of winter?
500,102;500103; 500,104; 500,105; 500,106....
Wheeww counting past 100,000 sure gets boring.
500,107; 500,107; oops 500,108
All part of a normal cycle?
Hmm, it does not make sense. 200 years ago the industry produced gases were a tiny fraction of what is today and even smaller fraction of what volcanoes spit out. Also in the past few thousands of years there were warmer periods than today.
I will worry about global warming when Greenland is a green land again.
Now you know why the Wide Anthropic Principle is not accepted by the PC establishment. The Universe depends on your perception of it - when you're gone, I don't exist to you.
What if they dug down, looking for ice, and hit those space airplanes from Scientology? All us Christians would be proven wrong, and we'd have to admit that Tom Cruise had it all straight (pardon the pun), after all. Shocking. (potentially)
And the tentative conclusion is -
Things change over time. More CO2, less CO2, warmer atmosphere, colder atmosphere, more snowfall, less snowfall.
Past is not necessarily prognosis. There may be a much larger cycle here, in which nobody has yet made correlations.
The effects of activities of mankind may still be extremely insignificant in relation to the other sources of climatic change.
The average American is obese- and thusly, emits various and sundry "gases." I think someday, the world will be shocked to find that we were the cause of global warming/cooling/lukewarming after all. I will be proven right, and will get the respect I deserve/crave.
I am not a lunatic.
Impossible! The world is only 6000 years old!
The article states:
"Not long ago we thought that previous ice studies which go back about 500,000 years might be the best we could obtain," said Brook, who is also the co-chair of the International Partnerships in Ice Coring Sciences, a group that's helping to plan future ice core research efforts around the world.
"Now we have a glimpse into the past of up to 650,000 years, and we believe it may be possible to go as much as one million years or more," Brook said. "This will give us a fuller picture of Earth's past climates, the way they changed and fluctuated, and the forces that caused the changes. We'll be studying this new data for years."
As the data become more solid about the atmospheric conditions of the past, it's becoming increasingly clear that the current conditions of the past 200 years are a distinct anomaly, Brook said.
"The levels of primary greenhouse gases such as methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide are up dramatically since the Industrial Revolution, at a speed and magnitude that the Earth has not seen in hundreds of thousands of years," Brook said. "There is now no question this is due to human influence."
Now let me get this straight. Because they have found an ice core from 500,000 years ago to 650,000 years ago, there is "no question" that current global warming is due to human activity. How can this sample tell us that?
" . . . it does not make sense. 200 years ago the industry produced gases were a tiny fraction of what is today . . "
You are almost certainly correct, but I wouldn't be surprised if the terribly inefficient wood/coal/peat burning back then produced similarly amounts of greenhouse gas for comparably little usable energy.
Lots of studies show both Europe and North America actually have MORE trees and forests now than existed when Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
And all the descriptions of old London were basically of a soot-filled nightmare.
That said, I would think you are correct. But I am not sure.
They were recycled into DC-9's.
Hence, the striking resemblance.
Let me know when they find evidence of massive 1000 mile diameter hurricanes pulling down tropospheric air to the surface capable of freezing helocopters and buildings. I'll then know its time to scream, run-around like nutz, and generally panic.
I'd like to know what assumptions and methodologies are behind the interpretation of the evidence and whether they have been challenged. Meanwhile, it looks like there's good money to be had in digging holes and crying "wolf."
You're right, it can't. But that is not what this is all about. From the article:
According to Brook, continuing research will help to address many of these questions.
This translates as: "Give me more money!"
That's the real point. The crises change from year to year, but the solution is always the same.
Compared to a cow...you are insignificant!
He was serious, too, until he went on his next freakish pseudo-science-entrepeneur binge. I don't think he had any offers from Rome, and I don't think he'd have been allowed to "harvest" any ice, anyway.
Technically, all the water around or in you dates from the time of Christ -- and even earlier. After all, it's all just recycled dinosaur pee.
Unfortunately, ice cores taken longer than about 10 years ago are useless for use as science. The cores were not taken with gas sampling in mind and could have been contaminated is so many ways as to make any argument silly.
I do know that this article fails to address this aspect of controversial conclusions drawn from "uncontrolled" ice cores aimed at analyzing simply water, particulate matter and possible vetetable traces... Not gases.
But, he was amusing in his enthusiasm, for the brief time it lasted. Then he was off to lose another fortune and waste more of everyone's time.
what a maroon
Climate scientists are still working on more accurately characterizing how atmospheric composition changes affect global temperature during a warm interglacial period (i.e., now). Abrupt changes such the 15 degree change cited weren't caused solely by changes in atmospheric trace gases (but might be related to slower changes pushing the climate to a so-called "tipping point" where an abrupt change happens).
The deeper we go, the more we blow. What would we do without experts?
Abrupt changes might signal the end of the normal cycle and a transition to a new cyclic timing. Reading various sources indicates that there was a transition between a dominate 41,000 year cycle and a dominant 100,000 year cycle. The cause(s) of the 100,000 year cycle are harder to figure out.
"But were you there?" Bump.
Bush's Fault...What was the topic? /sarc
Volcanoes produce (on average) about 150 times less CO2 than human industrial (energy-related) processes. They produce a lot more S02, but due to its short lifetime in the atmosphere, cooling effects from volcanic S02 only last a few years after major eruptions.
The comment was about changes in atmospheric gases (CO2 and methane), not global temperature.
Obviously a hummasexshil plot.
I don't think that's accurate at all. One of the main reasons these guys do the coring is with the knowledge that they want to accurately measure the concentration of trace gases in the trapped bubbles. By making the statement you're making above, you're impugning the methodology of an entire community of scientists that has being doing this type of study for years. That's very bold of you. While I admire your audacity, I'd have to consider your comment as having little support until you published a critique addressing their methodology.
Right now, industry produces 10 times more atmosphereic Carbon Dioxide per year than volcanoes do, so pollution has been producing more CO2 than volcanoes for quite some time.
And, of course, volcanoes produce huge amounts of Sulfur Dioxide, which blocks sunlight and cools the earth, so overall volcanic eruptions tend to cool the earth.
Does it? If so, how large part of the total Earth emission of CO2 the industry makes, do you know by any chance?
But in this modern era, even a big (Pinatubo) eruption only causes a short cooling period. Now, if we could initiate a new flood basalt episode...
(There may be some drawbacks to the implementation of that idea.)
This research must be fundamentally flawed. A good test might compare gas from old ice to gas in new ice. But they are saying that the glaciers are retreating. If the ice is retreating, there is no way to capture current ice samples to compare the history to. So they are comparing gases stored in old ice to gases sampled some other way. Sounds like bad science to me.
Water vapor is a climate feedback, not a climate forcing. As the global temperature warms, relative humidity will increase. The reason water vapor is a feedback is the high variability of water vapor concentration in the atmosphere.
Well, the Russian Academy of Sciences does not agree with you and, nothing personal, but for this subject I will go with their analyses.
Granted, ice core sampling today complies with the guidelines that you suggest, but the older cores, which were never intended for that type of test were initally and erroneously used to validate the "man-is-at-fault" faith.
They set out to find proof and, lo and behold, they found it!
200 years ago we had no weather data. Hell, even 50 years ago our weather data globally was suspect.
The newest core is from a site in Antarctica, and they are comparing its results to results from other sites.

Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics
An International Journal
The Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics publishes papers in which combinatorics and algebra interact in a significant and interesting fashion. This interaction might occur through the study of combinatorial structures using algebraic methods, or the application of combinatorial methods to algebraic problems. The combinatorics might be enumerative, or involve matroids, posets, polytopes, codes, designs, or finite geometries. The algebra could be group theory, representation theory, lattice theory or commutative algebra, to mention just a few possibilities.
This journal provides an ideal resource to the subject, providing a single forum for papers on algebraic combinatorics for researchers in combinatorics, and mathematical and computer scientists with a strong interest in combinatorial structure.

|How should Karo syrup be stored?
Before or after opening, Karo syrup may be stored at room temperature. Storage conditions affect product quality. Light corn syrup may turn slightly yellow with age, but this is normal and not harmful.
|How long can Karo syrup be stored?
Karo syrup is safe to eat for an indefinite period of time whether it has been opened or not opened. However, for best results we recommend using before the "Best by" date stamped on the container. Bottles may be refrigerated after opening, however, the syrup will be thicker and slower to pour.
Does corn syrup serve any function in recipes besides sweetening?
Corn syrup serves different functions in different types of recipes and in products you purchase. It controls sugar crystallization in candy, prevents the formation of ice crystals in frozen desserts, enhances fresh fruit flavor in jams and preserves, sweetens and thickens relishes. Corn syrup balances sweet and sour flavor profiles, and is therefore a key ingredient in many Asian dishes.
When brushed onto baked ham, barbecued meats, baked vegetables or fresh fruit, it is an ideal glaze. In baked goods, corn syrup holds moisture and maintains freshness longer.
|Can Karo light and dark corn syrups be interchanged in recipes?
Yes. Karo light and dark corn syrups perform similarly in recipes and can usually be used interchangeably. Recipes usually specify which type to use but the choice may be guided by personal preference. Typically, light corn syrup is used when a delicately sweet flavor is desired, such as in fruit sauces and jams. Karo light corn syrup is made with real vanilla.
Dark corn syrup is made with refiners' syrup, a type of molasses. With its more robust flavor and color, it is ideal for many baked goods.
Both Karo light and dark corn syrups, along with Karo pancake syrup, are ideal toppings for pancakes, waffles, French toast, and biscuits.
Karo Lite (reduced calorie) syrup can be substituted in many recipes calling for light or dark corn syrup, but is not recommended for cereal bars or candy making.
Can corn syrup be substituted for brown sugar or granulated sugar in recipes?
Although corn syrup and granulated sugars are both sweeteners, it is not possible to use them interchangeably in recipes. Because corn syrup is a liquid, it cannot be substituted for granulated sugar without adjusting other ingredients, particularly in baked goods. For best results, follow recipes developed especially for corn syrup. In sugar-sweetened beverages, however, it's easy to experiment with corn syrup as a ready-blending substitute.
|Can corn syrup be substituted for honey or molasses?
While acceptable in some recipes, this is generally not recommended as the finished product will have different flavor characteristics.
What is high fructose corn syrup and how is it different from regular corn syrup?
High fructose corn syrup starts with regular corn syrup, which is modified by further processing and treated with enzymes to break it into two different forms of sweeteners, fructose and glucose.
In contrast, corn syrup is a sweetener derived from fresh corn picked and processed at its peak for flavor and sweetness. This is the ingredient in Karo® Corn Syrups used for baking – Karo® Light, Karo® Dark and Karo® Lite (reduced calorie).
Why do food manufacturers use high fructose corn syrup?
Originally, high fructose corn syrup was developed as a lower cost substitute for sugar. It is widely used today as a sweetener in beverages, bakery products, yogurts, and other products that traditionally had used sugar as a sweetener.
What is the controversy about high fructose corn syrup and why are so many people avoiding it?
Since the early 1980's, high fructose corn syrup consumption has tripled and was recently estimated at 30 pounds per person annually. During the same time period, the rate of obesity also increased dramatically. After consumption of high fructose corn syrup hit its highest level between the years of 2000 to 2005, it has more recently declined, yet obesity rates have not. While some researchers feel there is a link between the increase in obesity and high fructose corn syrup consumption, others do not.
Do any of Karo's Corn Syrup products used in baking that are sold in retail stores contain high fructose corn syrup?
Most Karo® Light, Karo® Dark and Karo® Lite Corn Syrups contain no high fructose corn syrup. Only, the 1 gallon Karo® product still contains high fructose corn syrup.
Do other brands of corn syrup currently contain high fructose corn syrup and if so, how can I tell?
Karo is currently the only leading national brand of corn syrup that has removed high fructose corn syrup. Many other brands of corn syrup do contain high fructose corn syrup. Check the ingredient list on the package where high fructose corn syrup must be listed if it is in the product. You can also look for Karo's package labels that clearly announce "0 grams High Fructose Corn Syrup."
What is the gluten status of Karo?
All Karo Syrup is gluten free and is produced in a facility free of gluten.
Does "light" mean Karo light corn syrup contains fewer calories? Is light corn syrup the same as "white" corn syrup?
The clear Karo corn syrup has been called "light" since the 1940s, before "light" became a popular description for reduced-calorie products. The term "light" in this case refers to the color, and not the number of calories. Many consumers refer to light corn syrup as "white" corn syrup.
The terms "light" and "dark" refer to the differences in the colors of Karo syrups. Both types have the same number of calories - 60 calories per tablespoon, and both are fat free and cholesterol free foods. For nutrient information on the products, visit our our Nutrition Facts section.
|Is there a reduced calorie version available?
For those looking for fewer calories, Karo Lite Syrup is available. This contains 33% less calories than regular corn syrup, and has no high fructose corn syrup.
When making candy or cereal bars, it is best to use regular Karo dark or Karo light syrup.
|What is corn syrup?
Corn syrup is a mildly sweet syrup derived from corn starch. Its main function in recipes is to provide sweetness and moisture, and to prevent the crystallization of sugar. It provides a smooth texture to cooked sweets, such as candies, as well as no-bake recipes, such as ice cream.
|Is high fructose corn syrup the same as corn syrup?
No. high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup are distinctly different products. When Karo was introduced in 1902, it did not contain high fructose corn syrup. Sometime in the 1970's, it was added to the Karo Light and Pancake syrups. As a result of consumer requests, the high fructose corn syrup has now been removed from Karo® Light. Karo® Dark and Karo® Lite (reduced calorie) Corn Syrups never had high fructose corn syrup.
|What is refiners' syrup? Why is it used in Karo dark corn syrup?
Refiners' syrup is a type of molasses. It gives dark corn syrup its flavor and color.
When was the ingredient "vanilla" added to Karo light corn syrup?
Vanilla has always been an ingredient in Karo light corn syrup. It gives extra smoothness and richness to the flavor.
|Should Karo syrup be used for infant feeding?
We are aware that some health care professionals suggest feeding Karo syrup to infants in a formula or for relief of constipation. Because corn syrup, like many other foods is not a sterile product, there is a remote possibility that it may contain C. botulinum spores.
These spores are common in the environment and generally not harmful to older children and adults. In fact, in the FDA study conducted in 1991, corn syrup and other syrups are not identified as food sources of C. botulinum spores for infants.
However, because Karo is not specifically intended for infant feeding, we suggest you consult your pediatrician for advice.
|Using a convection oven?
It is easy to convert standard baking time into convection baking time. You have 2 choices: 1). Lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees and bake for the same amount of time OR 2). Shorten baking time by about 20% and keep the oven temperature as called for in the recipe.
|Where can Karo syrups be purchased?
Although we would like all of our products to be available in all stores, space and consumer demand sometimes limit the number of items a retailer carries. Check the list of Karo products to see if your favorite product or size is there. If it's on the list, you can ask your store manager to order it, or e-mail us for the store nearest you that carries it.
|How should Karo pancake syrup be stored?
Unopened or opened, Karo pancake syrup may be stored at room temperature. Storage conditions affect product quality.
|How long can Karo pancake syrup be stored?
Unopened bottles of Karo pancake syrup are microbiologically safe to eat for an indefinite period of time.
Bottles maybe refrigerated after opening, however the syrup may be thicker and slower to pour.
|Can Karo pancake syrup be used in cooking?
Karo pancake syrup can be brushed onto baked ham, barbecued meats, baked vegetables or fresh fruit as an ideal glaze, and can be poured over waffles, hot cereal and pancakes. It may be used in any recipe that calls for light or dark corn syrup. Pancake syrup will give the finished recipe a delicate maple flavor. Some recipes include Pecan Pie, Baked Beans and frosting.
Visit our Recipes and Tips section for delicious classic and contemporary recipes using Karo pancake syrup.
Is Karo pancake syrup interchangeable with Karo light or dark corn syrups in recipes?
Karo pancake syrup contains maple syrup flavor but, will perform similarly in recipes and may be substituted in baked goods. Taste/Flavor preference is the best usage guide.
Light corn syrup is used when a delicately sweet flavor and color is desired, such as in fruit sauces, jams and baked goods.
Karo dark corn syrup, with its rich brown color and more robust flavor color, is ideal for many baked goods.
Karo pancake syrup offers a golden brown color with a delicious maple flavor, making it a delicious topping for pancakes, waffles, French toast, and biscuits. It imparts an appetizing color when brushed onto ham during the last half-hour of roasting or ribs on the grill; and gives appetizing flavor and color when spooned or poured over baked acorn squash and sweet potatoes.
Can Karo pancake syrup be substituted for brown or granulated sugar in recipes?
Although Karo pancake syrup and granulated sugars are both sweeteners, it is not possible to use them interchangeably in recipes. Since syrup is a liquid, it cannot be substituted for granulated sugar directly. Other ingredients, particularly those in baked goods, would also need to be adjusted. Since there is no general rule, it is best to follow recipes developed especially for corn syrup or pancake syrup.
Can Karo pancake syrup be substituted for maple syrup, honey or molasses?
Karo pancake syrup can be equally substituted for maple syrup, honey or molasses in most recipes and when used as a topping. Recipes using Karo pancake syrup will not be as sweet and the finished products will have different flavor characteristics.
|What is Karo pancake syrup?
Karo pancake syrup is a naturally thick maple flavor pancake and waffle topping made of corn syrup, caramel color, salt, potassium sorbate (to protect quality), natural and artificial colors. For nutrient information on Karo pancake Syrup, visit our Nutrition Facts section.
|Where can Karo pancake syrup be purchased?
Although we would like all of our products to be available in all stores, space and consumer demand sometimes limit the number of items a retailer carries. Check the list of Karo pancake syrup to see if your favorite product or size is there. If it's on the list, you can ask your store manager to order it, or e-mail us for the store nearest you that carries it.

From the time the bag law was proposed by the County Executive in March and passed by the County Council in May, residents have come forth with a range of questions, which are now found in the FAQs on the bag website – www.montgomerycountymd.gov/bag.
One question is "Why are paper bags included?"
Short answer is that both paper and plastic bags consume enormous amounts of natural resources and cause significant pollution. Statistics indicate that each year, Americans use about 10 million paper bags and some 14 million trees are cut down annually for paper bag production. In addition, chemicals are used to process wood pulp to paper, and paper that isn't recycled and ends up in landfills cannot completely degrade due to the lack of water, light and oxygen.
A more detailed, graphic explanation simply entitled "Paper or Plastic?" was presented in The Washington Post's "More Than Meets The Eye" feature back in 2007.

American Players' vet Arnold an oasis in Goodman's 'Other Desert Cities'
Chicago - Christmas Eve morning, 2004. Outside a blandly rich home in California's Palm Springs, a friendly game of mixed doubles has just ended. Siblings Brooke and Trip Wyeth have come home for the holidays, and aging parents Polly and Lyman are thrilled to have them.
That's the quietly hopeful beginning of Jon Robin Baitz's "Other Desert Cities," now on stage in Chicago's Goodman Theatre under Henry Wishcamper's direction - and featuring American Players Theatre veteran Tracy Michelle Arnold, making her Goodman debut as Brooke. »Read Full Article
Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

Deck building tips:
A good deck has an even balance between monsters and magic/traps, you generally want the composition of your deck around 50% monster, 25% magic and 25% trap. That way you are not constantly only drawing only one type of card. If the composition was 33% all 3 ways I would always be drawing magic and trap cards almost never monsters to defend yourself with or launch your offensive.
Drawing monsters:
Only have a maximum of 4 monsters in your deck that require tribute to summon; includes ritual monsters excludes fusion monsters and synchro monsters. This keeps down how often you stuck with a high level creature in your hand versus a card to throw in defense mode and prolong the duel long enough to get the card you need.
Power VS the ease of summoning:
On a similar note to above take into consideration how strong a monster is versus how hard is it to summon.
Giga Gagagigo has 2450 atk and Elemental Hero Neos has 2500 atk. Neos requires 2 tributes and Gagagigo only requires 1, if I had to choose between which one to stick in my deck I would pick Gagagigo as he is easier to summon and only 50 points weaker. Sure you are taking an ever so slight hit on your attack force but he is easier to summon and can help you out of a tight spot easier then Neos can. I reccomend only using 1 tribute summon monsters unless the card has any easy work around to make summoning it easy. A good example is Blues Eyes white dragon; 2 tributes required 3000 atk and 2500 def. He is hard to summon but has alot of support cards for him, that make summoning him easy. So if I had those cards I would use him in a heart beat.
Pick a boss creature;
this will be your most powerful card in your deck. My boss creature is Jinzo; he may be a bit weak on attack power compared to other people's boss creatures but his ability to diminish traps is very helpful.
A boss creature not only needs to be the most powerful but needs alot of support from the rest of your deck. Ideally I would have machine specific cards for Jinzo to make him stronger and make him survive those tougher battles. Cards like machine production factory increase machine type cards attack stat. But since my deck has very few machines these cards are actually worthless. Cards that are generic in the type that they help are usually the best bet when using mixed decks. A good example is rising energy; it raises my creatures attack stat by 1500 until the end phase. This allows me to use offense defensively or lay a trap for my opponents stronger cards; making them think "Oh its an E-hero Sparkman; my Summoned Skull can take that on" thats when you spring Rising Energy to make Sparkman 600 points stronger.
Cards that are serious suggestions:
Across all opponents
Note: Some of these come in the starter deck some don't.
Magic Cylinder
Bottomless traphole (get as many as you can in your deck)
Magic jammer
Cursed Seal of the forbidden spell
Mirror force
Swords of Revealing light
Monster Reborn
Heavy storm
Soul exchange
Des koala x3
D- Hero Defender
Neo-spacian hummingbird
Cards to ditch first chance:
Alien dog (useless in a non-alien deck)
Elemental hero Neos (unless you run a pure e-hero + support deck)
Trophy Card
