The 2013 Monster Energy's Shred Show Slopestyle
"This is my first win this season, and I couldn't be happier," said first-place winner of the Monster Shred Show's 5Star Slopestyle event in Whistler yesterday, 19-year-old Norwegian Emil Ulsletten.
The weather was a mixed bag of fog with warm spurts, but it's safe to say 33 rider's were stoked on the course…and really who cares about the conditions when the jumps are so good. The course consisted of a choice of a downrail, or a down-flat-down rail into a flat rail to drop off/snow-cliff/stepdown into a 60-foot stepover jump – notably most riders were favoring this first jump; whereas, most of the day's Double-Cork action was going down – into another rail set of two cannons, a lift-tower tube on an up to 30ft gap off or a high-flat cannon, wrapping up with two more jumps: a 70 and 75 ft. Ulsletten's winning run consisted of Blunt 270 on the downrail, 50/50 to a Front Three Tuck Knee off the cliff drop, to a Front Double 10, followed by a Back 3 out of the cannon, and finishing up on the last two jumps with a Backside 9 and a Cab Double 9.
Second-place Eric Willett was just happy to be on a mini-vacation back in Whistler with his wife. Upon mentioning he was riding incredibly strong on the upper section of the course, while impressing the judges with his Front Board to Fakie off the cannon, he replies that he's just stoked to be back on the podium, jokingly adding that perhaps his wife will stay with him another year. Willett's run consisted of a Front 270 on the downrail to a Boardslide Front 270 off the stepdown, to a Front 10 Double, Front Board to Fakie, wrapping up with a Switch Back 9 and a Back 7. Willett adds that his day was more about just landing his tricks and stomping them clean because the conditions were "crazy". Judge Carter Smith concurs, adding that the soft snow could really screw up a rider's run if they happened to be even just a little off on their landings.
Third place went to Ontario, Canada's Tyler Nicholson who mentions that this course was the best he has ever ridden. His run consisted of a gap to Front Board on the down-flat-down, then a Nose Tail 450 off the stepdown rail, to a Cab Double 10, to a Switch Tail 450 off the big uprail, followed by a Back Double 10 to a (as he puts it a "sketchy") Front 10.

If you were to write a stage script, what catagory would it be submitted to? I'm thinking whatever catagory it would be in if it wasn't a script, but I'm not quite sure.
Kcharles: It should be submitted to whatever category you would submit to if it were a regular fic. I would advise, however, that you contact the category mod prior to submitting as we accept very few fics of this type.
I wasn't sure if I should post here or IM a mod or something, but I searched the forums and came up with nothing.
It seems I cant edit my profile info on MNFF or add chapters. I can add a chapter up to the point where I click on 'preview', but when I click on 'add story' (or try and edit profile), my browser says, '501 Method Not Implemented'.
I read in an earlier question about someone clearing their cookies and changing browser, so I tried that and it still doesnt work. I've had problems before where a chapter got validated, unvalidated and then revalidated, and said chapter now has no submission date in my manage chapters list - it just says 0000-00-00, etc. I dont know if that is relevant or helpful.
Help please? I dont know what else to do

Okay, I have kind of an odd question...
See, I want to enter this writing challenge, for a national magazine. And I've had this idea that has to do with a fanfic of mine, Statues, Safes, Painted Walls and Streetlights. I was thinking of un-Harry Potter-izing it. Taking ou entirely ALL mentions and references and even tweaking the plot a bit, to fit it into original fiction. So, my question is, would that be legal? Could I actually submit this un-Harry Potter-ized story?
Thanks ahead of time!
Hello again, you must be starting to find me annoying .
My question is, can anyone start a usergroup in the RoR?
kcharles - I don't know what you mean by usergroup. If you mean a sub-forum, technically yes. But you'd have to put forth a very thorough proposal as to why the usergroup should be created. We don't often create new usergroups/forums unless we see that the group is well thought-out, has a good purpose and connection to our Harry Potter fanfiction site, and is well-established.
I mean that, if I had a idea for a club thing, like the Videomakers Association, would I be able to just post it there as a thread, like the VMA had before it got it's spiffy new forum?
kcharles - Again, it depends on the connection it has with Harry Potter fan fiction. New threads in Room of Requirement must be approved by a moderator.

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts community activist plans to start a campaign to raise money to send the body of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev (TAM'-ehr-luhn tsahr-NEYE'-ehv) to Russia for burial.
Tsarnaev's body is at a Worcester (WUS'-tur) funeral home, but funeral director Peter Stefan says he hasn't found a cemetery in Massachusetts willing to accept the remains.
Cambridge, where the Tsarnaev family lived, says it does not want the body.
William Breault of Worcester (WUS'-tur) is setting up a fund to send the body back home. Breault says it costs from $3,000 to $7,000 to ship a body to Russia, where Tsarnaev's parents live. He says he will kick start the campaign with a $500 donation.
But Stefan, the funeral director, says he doesn't think Russia will take the body. He says he's looking outside of Massachusetts.

Hours after 57-year-old music legend Prince was found dead in his Minnesota home, Jennifer Hudson paid her respects to him on Broadway.
Joined by Cynthia Erivo and the rest of "The Color Purple" cast, she brought the house down in New York City by performing "Purple Rain."
Before singing the 1984 classic, she thanked the audience for showing their support.
"I'm not a speaker by any means. I did not expect to have to speak on tonight, but God has his way," Hudson said. "As we all know, today we lost a legend. Ooh, Jesus, we lost a legend who was a good friend of mine: Prince, who was dear to all of us. Every single one of us."
Prince had reached out to Hudson not too long ago.
"He called me while we were here and asked me to come out, you know, to this event because he was writing his book. And he told me, 'You can bring your cast members along.' All these amazing people. Aren't they awesome? We were honored to be in his presence one last time and we got to have that moment," she said.
"So tonight, if you guys don't mind, we'd like you all to join us in honoring Prince. He said his music will live on and he will live through his music so we want to keep him alive today with this song. I might not get through this, but I will try. Help us out. Can we all do this together?" As the audience rose to their feet, Hudson encouraged them. "I know you all know the song!"
Toward the end of the song, Hudson asked the band to stop playing.
"Can we just stop the music and we all sing it together one more time?" she asked, telling fans, "I want to hear you!"
Hudson has become somewhat of a go-to tribute performer over the years. With little time to prepare, she gave a pitch perfect tribute to the late Whitney Houston at the 2012 Grammys. And, at the 2015 Oscars, her performance made people cry during the In Memoriam segment.

The British rugby star Ben Cohen, pictured, has been the most public straight sports superstar to show support for the gay community and end bullying and homophobia in sports. But even Cohen had retired before he dedicated himself to the cause, and he is European. Which might make the You Can Play project a first: active American and Canadian ice hockey players making public service announcements in support of gay inclusion in sports.
The project was inspired after NHL general manager Patrick Burke's brother came out as gay. When he was killed in a 2010 accident, Burke (now at the Toronto Maple Leafs) co-founded the project, which has as its mission creating a homophobia-free environment to allow gay players to know their straight teammates will accept them.
You can see some of the videos here.

Ever since I retired from full-time work some five years ago I've tried to teach myself new skills and new ways of looking at old, familiar situations.
Ever since I retired from full-time work some five years ago I've tried to teach myself new skills and new ways of looking at old, familiar situations. I do this in the hope I'll be forcing my brain's circuitry to keep developing new pathways, nerves, neurons and synapses, and whatever else all that gray matter upstairs is made of.
This practice, so I've read, helps stave off dementia and a diminishing mental capacity. So, I work the Jumble puzzle every day but Sunday, I'm trying to learn to play a musical instrument, I practice cursive handwriting with my left hand (I'm right-handed), I'm re-teaching myself to juggle, and I wander the Internet frequently, always searching for something new and different for my mind to embrace.
My latest little adventure in developing a new skill set is undertaking something that has intrigued and tempted me for decades. I could resist the temptation not one minute longer, so I cast caution to the wind and bought a straight razor.
This is not exactly the kind one normally sees in barbershops, but it's quite similar. The biggest difference between the two types is that the one I now have uses replaceable blades. I chose this model so I don't have to mess with honing and stropping the edge. (One new skill at a time is sufficient for my modest brainpower, I would think.) When a blade starts dulling down a bit, I just pull it out and pop in another — quick and easy. The blades are modestly priced, compared to the safety razors on the market that brag about having two, three, four or more blades.
I went to shavenation.com and found everything I needed.
During my first session with a straight razor, facing the mirror with a faceful of soap was somewhat intimidating. Emboldened by a fresh viewing of demonstration videos on the shavenation.com site, I tenuously touched the razor's edge to my shaggy face and gently stroked downwards. A freshly shaven patch among the bearded forest appeared, but the greatest pleasure was in noticing there was no blood.
All right, I thought, this is gonna be a piece of cake!
Thus, ever is man's unbridled optimism in the face of abject defeat brought to the fore.
Two or three more tentative strokes bolstered my confidence to try a longer stroke with the deadly blade. "Ouch!"
"Gotcha!" I could hear some evil inner voice cackle delightedly ... quickly followed by another "Ow," as a second rivulet of blood started coursing down my face.
Well, no one had told me this was going to be easy ... and it is learning a new skill set, I told myself, as I dabbed at my cheek with a wad of toilet tissue. Several impressive cuts are all that are necessary for the aging mind to decide it had better start paying closer attention ... or else.
I managed, with careful and somewhat shaky hands, to complete the task at hand, with only a few additional minor nicks. The "first blood" wounds are, at last, slowly beginning to heal.
Picking up new skill sets is a most challenging process, but one that cuts to the quick of the fight against senility ... and sometimes, I've learned, it cuts elsewhere as well.
JUST SAY THANKS!: Ocala's Marion Swann wrote: "I'm sure there are millions of people who go through life with few if any compliments. I would suggest if anyone gets a compliment, just smile and say 'Thank you.' Don't go into an explanation of why you don't think you deserve the compliment. And ladies, if a man compliments you and you feel it's sincere, just smile and say 'Thank you.' Remember, you deserve to feel good about yourself."
Words of wisdom, Marion, truly words of wisdom.
AND THE WINNER IS ...: Readers had difficulty identifying last week's WHERE IS IT? item, but after several false starts from others, Judy Brennan of Summerfield came up with the correct answer.

Practical Methods for Preventing Fractures in Racehorses
- Feb 26, 2012
- Topics:
A horse undergoing a computed tomographic examination to determine the cause of lameness in the lower limb. This short procedure requires general anesthesia, but can be useful for finding subtle lesions in the limbs.

By Christopher E. Kawcak, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVS, Professor, Orthopaedic Research Center, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Colorado State University, and Iron Rose Ranch Chair in Musculoskeletal Research.
Catastrophic injuries still plague the horse racing industry. This was clearly evident when Eight Belles fractured both front fetlock joints after finishing second in the 2008 Kentucky Derby and was euthanized. Not only is watching an injured horse difficult, but the incident leaves the racing industry barraged by public criticism. Fortunately, the amount of research to date has led to considerable advances in preventing, diagnosing and treating injuries to racehorses. The challenge is to apply this information practically to prevent horses from fracturing their limbs.
All horses--especially racehorses--are susceptible to injuries of their lower limbs, which are relatively small in diameter considering the weight they carry at high speeds during racing and training. Racehorses are much like high-performance cars with large engines and light frames that create a low margin of safety, and they can run very near the edge of failure. Catastrophic injury occurs in approximately two horses out of 1,000 horses that start in races, while less severe injuries that require medical treatment are more common. Fortunately, the equine research community and equine clinicians have determined many of the causes and underlying risks for these injuries, thereby improving the treatment for these elite equine athletes. The industry is on the verge of making significant headway in implementing these findings on a daily basis.
Reasons for Fractures
Although catastrophic injuries gain the most attention, most fractures do not result in catastrophic injury and are routinely repaired due to advancements in fracture and joint repair. Several factors lead to the relatively high incidence of fracture in racehorses:
- Cumulative amount of work at high speed of a horse while training and racing, which can predispose the horse to injury;
- Bone quality. Although osteoporosis has not been thoroughly studied in horses, there is concern that some horses may have weak and brittle bone that is prone to injury;
- Abnormal geometry or shape in joint surface that would place abnormal stresses across joints. Abnormal shape has been correlated to condylar fractures (a fracture of the condyle--the bottom or distal end of the cannon bone that fits into the fetlock joint) and could be due to abnormally high stresses within the joint that lead to failure; and
- Quality of the racetrack surface. In other words, the stiffness and resistance of the surface. Variation in these qualities can impose different stresses to the limb, some leading to injury.
Each of these factors has been addressed by a considerable amount of research, which to date has been performed with limited resources. Although equine veterinarians have been more productive in preventing and diagnosing fractures through the development of nuclear scintigraphy, digital radiography (X ray), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT Scan), the practical application of these techniques in the field (namely at tracks and at farms) is still needed. Imaging modalities such as MRI and CT scans require special equipment only found in veterinary hospitals and require specialized training to operate them.
Practical Applications
There has also been considerable research to better characterize the causes of injuries. Studies on bone microdamage, joint shape, track surface qualities, epidemiologic factors (studies of various traits such as breed, age, sex, racetrack, etc.) that lead to fracture and computerized modeling (used to determine the amount of stress within tendons, bones and joints) have all been performed. Now that researchers have a better understanding of the cause of injuries, the industry must improve practical applications of this information to prevent bone fractures.
For instance, because recent evidence has shown that the shape of a joint plays a role in the incidence of fracture, the abnormal shape of a joint must be occurring during growth and development. Therefore, improved monitoring and use of imaging techniques are needed to try and maximize normal limb conformation and shape in foals. Once these methods are developed, farm managers and veterinarians can better monitor foals during growth.
Racetrack monitoring and further research on how a horse moves is also desperately needed to help understand the role of the track surface in leading to injury. Inertial sensor technology has improved significantly and can be used to measure the movement of the horse's limbs and also the amount of force with which they strike the ground. This technology can be used during training to monitor limb use, and help to identify any abnormal limb movement that may be an early indicator of injury.
Abnormalities in bone quality have also been characterized at the biochemical and molecular level, and genetic and biochemical marker techniques. Biomarkers measured in blood samples have been characterized in horses and show promise to monitor changes that might predispose a horse to injury. In addition, further research to develop imaging techniques such as standing computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging is needed to make them more practical. If standing techniques can be maximized and used at the racetrack, horses predisposed to injury can be identified before injury occurs. To further research to develop these techniques, industry partners are needed to develop and commercialize these practical techniques.
Overall, great advances have been made in understanding the causes of injury in racehorses, and some practical methods have been developed to identify horses that may be predisposed to injury. Research to date has answered some of the questions, but more research is needed to allow stall-side application of techniques that potentially can be used daily to maximize safety for racehorses.

A good Sunday to all!!! We went to church and then to Walmart.
A quick sandwich for lunch and then on to playing catchup on the puter.
A Christmas scrappy queen-sized quilt for my middle son needs the final run on the longarm this afternoon. Then I think I shall spend the remainder of the day knitting. Perhaps I shall be able to block some knitting projects already done.
Have a blessed day, all.

Williams adapting to tough offseason
Sox GM three-quarters of the way to achieving club's aims
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com
Actually, with each major outfield name disappearing from the free-agent landscape, disappointment and frustration are the most suitable and tamest words to be used in front of a general audience that might include young readers. Not surprisingly, general manager Ken Williams, the primary architect of his team's Hot Stove additions and near-misses, views the big picture with quite a bit more optimism.
Williams set out to achieve four personnel goals when the White Sox offseason began, determined to not let what happened to the South Siders during the 2007 season transpire again. Three of those targets have been hit dead on, but the four misses on target No. 4 -- a new outfielder -- have caused the bulk of the public consternation.
"We wanted to upgrade at shortstop, get a setup guy for the bullpen, acquire Carlos Quentin -- and not a guy like him, but actually Carlos Quentin -- and address our center field position," Williams said. "So, we are three out of four, and generally, you feel good about three out of four.
"But I'm not satisfied. The bottom line is there are a couple of things we haven't gotten done, but it's still a work in progress."
These comments came from Williams on Wednesday night, just hours after two more center field targets were crossed off the White Sox holiday shopping list. Kosuke Fukudome, a talented left-handed hitter and solid defensive player from Japan, characterized as a cross between Ichiro and Hideki Matsui, and compared favorably to Seattle's Raul Ibanez, agreed to a reported four-year, $48 million deal with the Cubs.
Aaron Rowand, an emotional leader of Chicago's 2005 World Series champions and still an iconic figure in the city, came to terms with the Giants on a reported five-year, $60 million contract. Let the criticism of Williams commence or continue.
Judging Williams harshly by simply looking at the misses with namely Fukudome, Rowand and Torii Hunter might be too much the case of attacking final results without first reviewing the process. In the case of Fukudome, Williams understood that the White Sox made the highest offer among the interested teams. Fukudome simply wanted to be the first Japanese player for a particular franchise, an honor already belonging to Shingo Takatsu with the White Sox, and had a desire to stay in right field. Shigetoshi Hasegawa also gave Fukudome a strong recommendation for Cubs manager Lou Piniella from their days together in Seattle.
"Economics, at the end of the day, did not necessarily play a role in this," Fukudome's agent Joe Urbon said. "It's unfair to characterize the other Chicago team [the White Sox] as not putting its best foot forward, which they did, as did the San Diego Padres, as did a few other clubs."
"That was a choice," added Williams of Fukudome. "It was a position choice on his part and a desire to be the first Japanese player in franchise history and a chance to win a championship for that franchise. We've done it already."
As for Rowand, Williams made contact with the hard-nosed center fielder early on in the free-agent process, but the two sides stayed apart from start to finish in regard to the contractual years. Rowand wanted five, which he received from the Giants, while Williams had set the limit at four years.
Of course, the logical follow-up question would be why couldn't Williams give that extra year to a 2007 All-Star and Gold Glove winner who was such an important part of White Sox lore? Williams chose not to specifically address that particular decision.
|"I'm not satisfied. The bottom line is there are a couple of things we haven't gotten done, but it's still a work in progress."
-- White Sox GM
Ken Williams
After the initial talk with Rowand, Williams began his pursuit of Hunter. It was Hunter's 11th-hour decision to sign a five-year, $90 million deal with the Angels that ultimately lies at the core of the animosity directed toward Williams' moves.
Hunter's expected signing with the White Sox immediately turned the team's pursuit of Miguel Cabrera into an aggressive move that was unsuccessful, "something on the side that developed and something we never believed that would materialize anyway," according to Williams. Instead, Cabrera joins the list of perceived misses that begins with Hunter.
"Okay, it didn't happen," said Williams of Hunter. "I'm not sure what we could have done, short of anything up to offering $90 million, and we don't have those kind of resources."
The White Sox will continue to look for a center field upgrade via the trade route, with Coco Crisp a possibility, hinging on Boston's ability to acquire Minnesota ace Johan Santana. Williams also cautioned that the White Sox are not in dire straits at this position, with Jerry Owens showing the ability to be a catalyst in the second half of last season.
Where the White Sox fans' current disdain is concerned, Williams understands the passion and frustration coming from putting your heart and soul into a team. He will accept the responsibility, even with the prevailing thought that three-fourths of his offseason plan has been accomplished, and continue trying to improve the White Sox.
"Lost in it all is the fact that we still have a nice balance with young guys combined with All-Star-type players. We still have a pretty darn good baseball team," Williams said. "If the Tigers hadn't done what they did, I don't know if we would be facing some of this.
"It's not a good day for us, obviously. But I'd say we must have done something right, built up some sort of credibility, for a long period of time to have so much passion -- even at a time that I'm largely the guy it will fall upon."
Non-tenders: Left-handed starter Heath Phillips, who was designated for assignment to make room for Quentin on the 40-man roster, and utility infielder Andy Gonzalez were not tendered 2008 contracts on Wednesday. Phillips won 13 games for Triple-A Charlotte last season, while Gonzalez hit .185 for the White Sox.

" Brand: Asda / Type: Meat "
Every week we buy asda extra special sausages, usually in pork and apple or pork and leek, these flavours are our favourite, but they do all different flavours too such as cherry wood smoked, Cumberland, vintage cheddar and caramelised onion chutney, beef, pepper and coriander, chipolata, roquito pepper, Lincolnshire and sweet chilli. There are so many different flavours to choose from!
These are on offer all the time in asda sometimes they are two packs for £5, or sometimes 3 packs for £6. You find you only save about 20p when they are 2 for £5, and about 80p when they are 3 for £6. I don't tend to bother buying them in bulk as you don't save too much, I don't think its worth it. They usually cost around £2.20 a pack.
You get six sausages in a pack but these sausages are very thick, so we usually have 2 each, and that's enough as they are very filling. My boyfriend usually has the other 2 cold chopped up in his salad the next day! They go great with mashed potato and beans, or mashed potato and veg with gravy. I love yorkshire puddings with them as well. These are also great in a toad in the hole, and we love to cut the sausages up and just chuck them in a pan with peppers, onions, tomatoes etc and just make it up as we go along!
We usually cook these in the oven, in a roasting tin for about 30-40 minutes. The only thing is they make such a mess as the fat comes out of the sausages and the roasting tin is so hard to clean afterwards! You can also fry or grill the sausages, but make sure they are cooked thoroughly through the middle, they are very thick and take longer to cook that other cheaper sausages.
We have tried loads of supermarkets own brand products to cut down the shopping bill, but one thing we wont change is meat. We like to try and get all finest meat with the highest meat content. These sausages are roughly 80% meat so that's why we buy them, and wont switch to cheap meat.
These are suitable for freezing, but they usually have about a weeks date on them when you buy them, and we eat them within a week so we don't usually need to freeze them. If you do freeze them you need to defrost them well before you cook them.
I highly recommend these sausages, they are gorgeous, have a high meat content and come in so many different flavours, its too hard to choose what ones to buy!
I love sausage and mash, but always used to worry about cheap quality meat low pork content being used to make them.
Asda's extra special sausages were the end of my worries, the ones I will write about are the pork and apple. These are made with 80% pork, this is very high for a sausage and probably not much lower than that of a butchers. They cost £2.28 for six good sized sausages, weighing in at 400g. They are £1.28 per pack, but Asda often have an offer on, three packs for £3.
When you open the packet you have to cut the sausages apart, this reminds me of a Butchers sausage. They are nice and thick and even when raw are noticeably better quality than brands like Walls or Richmond, these aren't a horrible bright pink colour. To cook these, Asda recommends you either grill them for 15minutes or shallow fry for around 12-15mins. As these sausages are very thick, every time we have grilled or fried them they seem to be overdone on the outside and not done enough inside, so we just put them in an oven roasting tray and cook for 30-40minutes. Hardly any fat comes out of the sausages into the roasting tray which is always a good sign. We never cook them in oil or anything, I just throw them in as they are.
I think these taste delicious, you can instantly tell it is good meat, where as others you can buy just seem to mush up in your mouth. With these you have to give them a good chewing. You can clearly see and taste the pieces of apple which is a very nice addition. They are very well seasoned and are full of flavour. I do find the skins can sometimes be a bit chewy which is a little annoying, but most of the time they are fine.
These sausages are excellent served with mash and gravy. They're not really the type you would eat with an English breakfast, for this i would recommend the Premium pork variety, they are the same price and also come in a pack of six. The pork and leek ones are very nice too. I always save one to eat cold on a sandwich and they taste brilliant when cold.
These sausages can be frozen on day of purchase, but must be thoroughly defrosted before cooking; we usually take them out the freezer and leave in the fridge for 24hours. Once the pack is opened they should be eaten within one day.
Overall I think Asda have made a great product with these sausages. 5/5
There are quite a few different sausages that Asda do in their Extra Special range but the ones I'm going to write about is the pack of 6 Cumberland sausages. They're not the ring ones but normal straight sausages, they look rank before cooking because they are so pale and I always think the green bits in raw Cumberland sausages make them look like they're going rotten! lol
They are yummy though. I thought they took a lot longer to cook than other Cumberland sausages I've cooked lately and they don't brown very evenly either so it's a bit hard to tell when they're cooked through.
The taste of the sausages when they're cooked is lovely, proper comfort food. They have got a wicked spicy flavour that is a bit peppery too, the sausagemeat stays a bit wet inside and I know that sounds horrible but it makes the texture of them just right.
The sausages are firm and take more chewing than Richmond and some of the other brands of sausages. I wasn't mad keen on the skins of these sausages because on a couple of them the skin split and kinda shrivelled up along the sausage. That made them look a bit weird and also meant there was too much skin on at least one bite of each sausage.
I love how meaty they are and have served them in loads of different ways. I've cooked them in the oven and also in the George Foreman and both methods have been the same, they leaked shedloads of fat when I did them in the GF so I reckon that's probably the best way to get rid of as much as possible.
I had 2 with mash, peas and gravy tonight and they were yummy but I've eaten them on their own or with chips too. My mum used them in a yummy sausage casserole the other night and it was the best one she's made I reckon because the spicy sausages added another level of flavour to it.
These sausages cost £2.28 but the Asda sausages are quite often on special offer and they can be frozen so you might save a few quid by stocking up then.
Call me old fashioned but I love the traditional British banger, if I have my way it is served with creamed potato, fried onion, peas, carrots and a good thick onion gravy and if the Other Half has his way they are served with a good helping of home made chips and some peas.
But it is getting harder and harder to find a `good` sausage, some of the butchers sell their own versions that are meaty and tasty but you need a second mortgage to be able to buy a pound.
Sausages have to be good quality if they are going to be worth eating, the value sausages are packed with rubbish and cereal, they taste of nothing and I dread the thought of what else goes into them. I would far rather hand over a decent amount of money and know that I am at least going to enjoy what I am eating.
The Asda extra special range includes our old favourites the Cumberland sausage, pork, honey and mustard sausage, pork and sweet chilli sausages, pork and leek, pork roasted tomato and garlic, vintage cheddar and caramelised onion chutney, beef pepper and coriander, Aberdeen Angus and Lincolnshire and I may even have missed a couple of varieties out !
A 400g pack of the Asda special sausages contains six large sausages and costs around £2.28.
At the moment all of the range are on special offer, buy three packs for £5.
We like the Asda pork and leek sausages, they have all the taste of the traditional sausage but there is that little twist that the leek adds. I think it is worth telling you that the Asda pork and leek sausages are made using Scottish pork and fresh leeks.
Asda have used a mixture of two cuts of pork for this recipe, they have used belly pork ( which is a fairly fatty cut ) and shoulder of pork which is far leaner. To the meat they have added chopped chives, herbs, spices, preservatives and of course rusk and crumbs that add bulk to the sausage.
The sausages are encased in a natural pork skin.
100g of the product contains 215 calories and they have a high fat content. They contain sulphites ( preservatives ), wheat, gluten and milk. The Asda sausages can be frozen.
Although it is far better for you to grill the sausages I much prefer to shallow fry mine and irrespective of the fact that you do not need to prick the skins before you cook them I find that old habits die hard. I use a drop of olive oil in my frying pan and I cook the sausages for about 15 minutes turning them around so that the skins brown evenly.
The Asda pork and leek sausages have a coarse texture and you can see the small flecks of sautéed leek laying under the skin. The skins are thick but they are not tough, once you take your knife to the sausages they cut easily.
When you cook them the smell is good and tasty, you can taste the leek when you eat them but you cannot smell it when you cook them.
Like most sausages the Asda pork and leek do lose some fat, so you end up with a little more fat in the frying pan than when you first started cooking. I like to make sure that the sausages are well cooked and I usually partially slice one so that I am certain that they are cooked through.
Once the sausages are ready then I drain away the excess fat and lay them on a couple of sheets of kitchen roll to `dry off` completely.
The Asda pork and leek sausages are meaty, the meat inside of the sausage is closely packed and remains quite solid when it is cooked. The pork is well seasoned and the skins brown well. I like the fact they contain leek but that taste is not overpowering, first and foremost the flavour is meaty.
The sausages are still a good size once they are cooked and two sausages are ample for me, the Other Half will enjoy three.
The Asda pork and leek sausages provide us with a good meal that is well in budget. I love the sausages fried then placed into a roll with a heap of caramelised fried onions on the top, they are delicious.
The Asda Extra sausages are well worth paying that few pence more for.
After reading a review for Toad in the hole, (thank you kaitlins mummy), I got an urge!!! An urge to make (yes make!!!), toad in the hole. I decided to vamp it up a bit and plumped for ASDA's Extra special vintage cheddar and caramelised onion flavour sausages. Quite pricey at £2.48 for 6, but they sounded yummy so I slipped them in my basket. A few days later my urge to make Toad in the hole had passed (bought a frozen one from ASDA!), but the sausages were still sitting there.
I decided that sausages with such a grand title needed to be enjoyed on their own, so armed with some freshly baked bread rolls from the local bakers, the sausages were placed on the grill and were soon at the mercy of my hungry tum!
Whilst cooking, the sausages gave off a delicate aroma of onions. Hardly any fat came out of them and the skins didn't split. When cut open, the sausages were firm and meaty. The sausage meat was coarse and the skins cooked cooked evenly.
I cut the sausages in half length ways to put on my sandwich and sat down ready to enjoy. My first bite was really disappointing. The firmness of the meat made the meat really dry and tough to eat. The cheese and caramelised onion were conspicuous by their absence, and if anything the sausages were tasteless rather than enhanced by these additions. Each sausage has 227 cals btw.
I left a couple of the sausages until the next day (the other half likes a cold sausage!!!), but to be honest, by the next day they were like rubber and even our vacuum cleaner of a dog wouldn't entertain them!
I have had a number of different 'extra special' products from ASDA and have really enjoyed them, but as for the humble sausage...I will be sticking with the less special variety from now on!!!
Pork & Leek, or Cumberland Ring Asda's bangers are extra special.

Worldwide call seeks ideas from Engineers, Architects, Designers, Sculptors, Builders, Agriculturists, Videographers, Technologists, Artists and Makers of all kinds
Past Project Images: http://flic.kr/s/aHsj5LFz65
Proposal Submission Info and Form: http://www.beamcamp.com/project-proposal/
Beam Camp, the summer camp for the fine and manual arts, technology and collaboration, today opens its annual international search to find its 2013 Beam Projects. The large-scale collaborative projects are realized by Beam campers, aged 7-17, and staff at the camp's 106-acre facility in Strafford, New Hampshire.
Projects are budgeted at $10,000. Winning designers receive a $2,500 honorarium and are invited to visit camp during the project's production.
Proposals can be submitted on the Beam Camp website until Friday, January 11, 2013 with Semi-finalists announced on January 18, 2013. (submission page: http://www.beamcamp.com/project-proposal/).
Beam offers these prompts for proposals:
- Project should be big and ambitious and result in a unique and spectacular product.
- Project Master should have experience in executing the kind of idea proposed.
- Projects should take advantage of Beam's outdoor space and rural location, but need not be about camp, children or nature.
Beam Camp Co-Director Danny Kahn says of the Project, "it's a chance for kids to walk around inside the mind of a designer of big things and systems. The kids get to learn project-specific making skills and practice the tools of collaboration, and more importantly see how to bring to life a passionately held and expertly developed idea."
The Beam Projects for summer 2012 reflected Beam's core emphasis on cultivating creative thinking and applied collaborative work. In "Creature Quake," Beam Project 2012.1, landscape architects Rachel Kunreuther and Douglas Stookey's proposal, Beam campers and staff constructed enormous creatures in earth, sky and lake. In "Navigating Dreams," Beam Project 2012.2, proposed by Matthew Springett Associates, Beam campers and staff created a night sky of LED constellations controlled and navigated by a boat-machine.
Previous winners include Caitlin Berrigan's "Macro/Micro Domes," Steve Gerberich and Nathaniel Lieb's "Beam Fleet," Jan Drojarski and Jon Bocksel's "Jungletopia," Christine Baumgartner and Manuel Kretzer's "Float With The Flowers," the solar-powered film "A Trip to the Sun" by Daniela Kostova and Mike DeSeve, WIgnall & Moore's "The Stories of Machines That Never Flew" and "The Habitats of Parker Mountain" by pragmatopia and architecture students of the University of Kassel, Germany.
ABOUT BEAM CAMP Beam Camp offers two 4 week summer sessions for kids aged 7-17 in Strafford, New Hampshire. Campers cultivate hands-on skills while exploring innovative thinking, design and the creative process. They swim, hike, play games and enjoy 750 acres of mountain, forests and lakes, while transforming ideas into artifacts and personal achievement into community success.

" Brand: Haribo / Type: Jelly "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I have seven grandchildren, who when they come to visit know where the sweetie cupboard is, and where the sweets are kept.
i recently noticed these Haribo Supermix sweets for sale in my local co-Op for a mere £1.00 for a bag full, containing 235 grams full.
This bag is great for the children because it contains a varied mixture of sweets, contaning milk bottles, jellie babies, and various shaped two toned coloured sweets jelly ones which are great for smaller children too.
They taste really good with nice strong fruity squidgy sweets, and having a different variety there is always going to be one that is a favourite for any child.
These sweets are made with no artificial colours, which is a good thing so children dont get so hyped up.
These sweets are made in Pontefract by Dunhills. You do get a lot of sweets in a bag, you can also see these in your local supermarket in the larger bags, which contain individual little packets inside. These particular ones come in a clear see through bag so you can see which sweets are contained inside.
The children love them because some of the sweets are shaped as little animals shoes or teddy bears and children seem to enjoy sweets that are not boring to look at.
I found that this bag was ample to share between four children and they all had a nice bowl full, kept them quiet for a few minutes. They are not hard to chew and are easy for younger children to eat, they have a really good taste to them and are easy to chew.
I will be looking in the supermarket for the individual bags as well, as they will be handy to pack into my picnic basket when the warmer weather finally arrives.
Thanks for reading and rating my reviews.
Just bought this as a treat to my son for doing well in his school report. He seems to have enjoyed them, but I can't say they're anything special. To me, it just seems like another random mix of Haribo sweets geared to make kids want to buy them because they're 'for kiddies', hence the title.
For around £1, you get a 200g bag of sweets, which isn't too bad considering the price of some sweets. Inside, though, I have to say I was alittle bit disappointed with the selection. There are some sweets which I think of as the poor man's jelly babies. They're like small versions of the popular sweet, only less enjoyable. There are also some foam sweets, but again, not of the same calibre as the regular Haribo foam sweets. It's almost as if the whole selection is designed to be a bit smaller per sweet, to point out they are for kiddies whereas the other versions are for either older kids or adults.
There are also the old favourite milk bottle sweets as well, but there were only about 3 or 4 in the bag, and the majority were the other two types of sweet. I can't say I was particularly impressed with them on the whole. I suppose the main thing is that my son liked them, and they did taste okay, I suppose. You definitely get a distinct fruit flavour come through with each sweet, and I found that the blackcurrant flavoured sweets had the strongest flavour. This was okay, as this is probably my favourite flavour of sweet anyway.
The sweets are made using fruit concentrate, as per the majority of Haribo sweets, with glucose syrup and sugar and gelatine forming the majority of the ingredients. If you eat the whole bag, then you're gaining nearly 700 calories (!) so it's probably best not to do so all in one go. I expect the bag will be gone in very quick time with the two of us eating them, but we'll save a few for mummy, of course! The sweets also have a high carb content, with around 160g of carbs for the whole bag.
Overall, I wasn't so impressed with this Haribo product. There are definitely nicer ones out there, and it sort of feels like another excuse just to produce different packaging with the same sweets inside the bag. If I were to take it on the basis of there being no other similar Haribo bags of sweets available, then it wouldn't be too bad, but the fact that it's basically another sales gimmick doesn't really impress me, and I'd rather see them try and give us something a bit different, as opposed to the same style of sweets every time.
I am an avid sweet fan and the Kiddies Super Mix is my favourite of the Haribo range. Haribo are one of the biggest sweet producers with their "Haribo" range and the tasty chewy "Maom" mixes. Each of the main Haribo mixes has a range of around 4 different types of sweets and it is the range in the Kiddies Super Mix that makes it my favourite.
This particular mixture includes "shoes" and "frogs" which have a hard fruity top layer in different flavours and a soft squashy bottom layer (similar to that surrounding an "egg" sweet), milk bottles (though these are normally fairly few in comparison to the rest of the mixture) and mini jelly babies which I like to refer to as "little men", in different colours and flavours. It is the little men that are the main attraction for me. They are similar to jelly babies but smaller, with a harder outer layer and jelly inside. They are so fruity and tasty.
Whilst I could just purchase little men on their own from a traditional sweet shop or newsagents with jars of sweets, it is nice to have a bit of variety. Haribo Kiddies Super Mix are very widely available in supermarkets, shops and newsagents and are normally reasonably priced provided that you are not buying them at a cinema or other venue where the prices are hiked because of the lack of available competition. You can regularly the normal size packets for £1 or less, which is fantastic value. I even found them for less than 60p in Wilkinsons last week - bargain!
"Kids and Grown-ups Love it So" - this is so true!
If I want a bag of sweets to nibble on while watching a film, then Haribo is ideal for this, as they are tasty and they are easy to share.
Haribo is a popular brand of sweet and there are many different types available, including this "Kiddies' Supermix".
The bag I have just had with the film I was watching was from Tescos and was £1.35 for a 275g bag, which seems quite big, and I think it is value for money.
The bag is large and red, with a window to show which sweets are inside and to tempt you!
The bag contains a few different types of sweets:
- Jelly Babies - these are not really like regular jelly babies. They are much smaller and a lot more jelly like - they come in red, purple, green, white, orange and yellow and the flavours are lovely and quite strong and fruity.
- Shoes - these are a white foamy bottom with a jelly top - these comes with red, orange, green and yellow tops. These are tasty but not as flavoursome as other sweets.
- Frogs - these are the same as the shoes!
- Milk bottles - I love these, they taste quite milky and are nice and chewy.
A 40g serving has 135kcal, which is very high and it is so easy to get through a lot of Haribo in one go!
I never really take much notice with sweets about artificial flaours/colours etc, however, for those that are conscious of it, these contain no artificial colours, which I think is fantastic. The flavours are artificial however.
The sweets are not suitable for vegetarians which is not something I would have known without looking at the packet so I think it is important to know this.
I think these sweets are lovely for watching a film, but definately something to eat in moderation!
Haribo are a popular brand of sweet. They have a variety of sub catagories, for example this super mix being one of them. Within the packet is a selection of different little catagories of sweets. For example jelly babies, mlik bottles, frogs and shoes, which have a soft white jelly foam type substance on them. Haribo are targeted mainly to children; their original product of "Starmix" and their other popular individual sweet "Goldenbears" are available in a smaller more child friendly packet. The rest including this supermix are only often avilable in their largers bags. These are handy if you have a group of friends together and want a more shareable bag.
*** The Facts
The back of the packet proclaims that the product is Gluten, Nut, Milk and soya free. The actual pack contains 516 calories, now considering its very easilty to keep picking at these packets when their are the side of you; you could easily go through all the packet and not realise this.
Hope this helps
We call these 'the sweets that make you angry' in our house.
This is because if we buy a bag of them, the sprog won't rest until the whole lot are consumed, and as a 300g bag of fruit-flavoured jelly sweets is far too much for a four year old to eat at one sitting I usually end up throwing most of the packet into the bin - just for a quiet life.
Still, we got some of these to have on hand in case any guisers / trick-or-treat-ers came round to the house at Halloween (they cost just over a quid for a bag at Tesco). In the event, everyone it seems, stayed home, presumably to watch 'The X Factor' instead - so we were left with a load of these dodgy sweets on our hands.
I ate some and found them....fantastically more-ish. There are ones like little minature jelly babies that come in a variety of mostly idistinguishable fruit flavours (mostly orange ones in the bags we got, for some reason) which are tangy and succulent and wonderful to eat. Then there are weird translucent jelly shapes like loops - which are all right, and least favoured of all these sort of....white foam / jelly hybrid animal-shaped ones that have a most unfortunate rubbery texture and are very difficult to eat.
For the health-conscious - as if anyone buys or eats Haribo sweets fo the good of their health - despite all of the sweets in this particular 'mix' being very luridly coloured indeed, apparently the Haribo Kiddie Super Mix product doesn't contain any artificial colourings - which came as a real surprise to me. They do have artificial flavourings however but at least no artificial sweeteners; clearly they're sugar-packed enough already. I don't know whether they contain preservatives. What I do worry about when eating sweets of this type is the gelatine content - gelatine being an animal hoof and bone-derived product which is integral to the manufacture of these 'gummy'-type sweets. It's not a million years since the BSE / infected bovine spinal cord scares of the 1990s, and frankly I'm still not confident about the safety of eating products which contain a proportion of bone-derived material which may have come from ruminant carcasses.
The bottom line, I feel, is that there's no good reason for eating a product such as 'Haribo Kiddies Super Mix.' It's a shame because the sprog likes them but I don't want to buy them regularly, and the alternative of only buying them only sometimes would make them seem like a treat, which I don't think is a good idea for a completely nutrition-free product like this at all. Though I did enjoy some of the sweets I ate myself, as usual I will be putting the rest of them in the bin.
Haribo's Kiddies Super Mix is a great, fun mixture of haribo sweets with more variety in flavour than the ever popular Starmix
Kiddies mix comes in 300g red bags, with a large window for viewing the colourful bundle of yellow, red, green, purple and white sweets inside. The usual friendly Haribo boy is on the front, but sticking with the childish theme, he is on a space hopper. It is a nice colourful bag, though a little large for only a couple of people to eat in one go.
There are 3 textures of sweets contained in the bag (unlike Starmix which only has 2, the gummy and foam gummy)
GUMMIES: 75% of the bag
These are 50/50 foam and haribo fruity jelly and come in a jumble of shapes including shoes, instruments, animals and sports equipment. The jelly tastes sweet and slightly of the flavour suggested by their colours (lemony for yellow, limey for green etc.) the foam is a little chewy, but the jelly is a nice texture to bite into. The colours are lurid, as they should be.
JELLY BABIES: 10% of the bag
These are long, thin looking people-shaped sweets, made of a sort of jelly which is more dense and less chewy than the other haribo sweets, and is slightly crusted on the outside to create a nice texture. It isnt dusty and oversweet like normal jelly babies, and the flavours are more distinct. They come in nice, slightly pearlescent colours, notably purple and white. The flavour of the purple one is deep, like grapes, a brilliant flavour, and the white one is slightly coconutty.
MILK BOTTLES: 15% of the bag
These are opaque cream-coloured sweets in the shape of bottles which are chewy and taste subtely of vanilla and creamy. They are an acquired taste and my least favourite.
Per 100g (a third of the bag):
Calories: 344
Sugar: 63.4g
Fat: 0.2g
For a more reasonable serving of 50g, 172 calories isn't too bad for a snack. Unfortunately these sweets are not suitable for vegetarians which is something which I think should be developed.
These are sold at Tesco for £1.32 but are often on offer.
The most varied and enjoyable bag in the Haribo range, and more aggreable than some (such as the sour Tangfastics). I am not sure how tight the "Kiddies" concept is - it seems to relate to the milk bottles/babies/ funny shaped gummies - but it doesn't really matter.
Here I bring you a review on another great Haribo product....Kiddies Supermix! Along with Starmix, & Tangfastics, this is one of the more well known varities made by Haribo. Easily identified by the bright red packaging, Supermix can be found in most supermarkets & newsagents....in fact, anywhere that has a kids sweet section....
Supermix contains a variety of fruity, jelly sweets....there are miniature jelly babies, milk bottles, and 'shoes' & 'frogs' (both of which have a foamy back). The main reason I buy these sweets is for the jelly babies. They beat Bassetts jelly babies hands down. Haribo do actually sell bags of jelly babies on their own, but they are much larger sweets, & in my opinion taste quite different to these smaller counterparts...& aren't nearly as nice. The milk bottles do taste milky & have a nice soft, chewy texture which I like. The shoes & frogs aren't quite as nice, as they are quite tough, but are passable.
All the sweets are free from artificial colourings & do contain fruit concentrates, such as blackcurrant, lemon, mango, orange & passion fruit. They are also gluten, nut, milk & soya free, so should be suitable for most people.
Supermix is available in larger 225g bags for approx £1, & small, individual bags for 10p.
Having just re-stocked my sweetie cupboard with an array of Haribo sweets, I thought I'd treat you all to a review as I munch away on 'Kiddies Super Mix'...
Super Mix is just one of a vast array of bagged jelly sweets produced by sweet giant, Haribo. This particular variety is just 'plain', i.e. no fizzy or sugary coatings...which could be construed as a bit of a downside as it's very easy to eat lots of them in one sitting!
The packaging is an eye-catching bright red, with a transparent window through which the tempting treats can be viewed. The sweets themselves are classed as 'fruit flavour & sweet foam gums', & come in various guises such as shoes & frogs (both of which are jelly with a foam back), milk bottles (which are softer), & (my fave!) jelly babies. The sweets come in different colours & each has it's own flavour. The fruit flavours are most apparant in the jelly babies however.
Looking at the ingredients, the sweets do contain fruit concentrates such as blackcurrant, grape, lemon, mango, orange & passion fruit. There are however artificial flavourings added also, which is why the packaging doesn't shout about the flavourings within, instead simply highlighting the fact that the sweets contain no artificial colours.
As with any sweets, they're not a healthy option. 100g provides 344 calories, 79g carbs (of which 63.4g are sugars) & 0.2g fat.
Various size bags are available - from the 'kiddie-sized' bags priced at 10p, to the bags I've just bought - 225g. These large bags usually retail around the £1 mark, but can be found at Asda currently for a mere 50p! (Hence the stocking up....!). (Price correct @ July 09).
Any regular readers of my reviews will be aware by now of the fact that I have a huge sweet tooth. Massive in fact. Because of this, I buy lots of different sweeties and chocolates on a regular basis.
One of the most recent victims to be purchased by me was the Haribo 'Super Mix' which is provided in bright red packaging with a see through panel on the front of the bag so that you can quite clearly see the types of sweeties that are contained in the packet.
The mix is indeed a varied one and the bag of sweets contains different coloured 'jelly' sweets that are half jelly and half white foam. These are mostly in the shape of frogs, but there is the odd one that is shaped into something else... I'm not sure what to be honest! These half-and-half sweets in the bag are very sweet and have a fruity taste to them. I find them to be absolutely delicious!
The bag also contains white 'milk' bottles which are also of a slightly foamy consistency, though are still chewy, and have a sweet and quite mild milky taste to them. All of these little bottle-shaped chews are white in colour. Of all the sweets in the Super Mix, these little bottles are my least favourite as I find them to be quite bland in comparison to the other sweets contained in the mix. I usually always leave these till the end of the bag!
My favourite of all the different sweets contained in the Super Mix though, is the little jelly babies that are contained within it. These have quite a hard outer 'shell' and are again very fruity tasting and very sweet. These also come in a variety of colours, from white and yellow to black and green, and I find them all to be delicious!
None of the sweets are over-powering in any way, and I find them all to be quite enjoyable in their own way. My partner and I often share a bag of these sweeties when we are watching a movie or going to the cinema and they are ideal for this as they offer a great choice of sweet when we are eating them.
The packaging is clearly aimed at kids, as there is a bright yellow-coloured teddy bear on the front of the packaging, who seems to be bopping about on one of those 'space hopper' type toys (It's definitely a bear and not a little boy, as shown in the picture on the Dooyoo page). There is also a statement on the front of the bag which proudly informs me that these sweets contain 'no artificial colours'.
The 225g bag of Haribo Super mix cost me 50 pence recently thanks to a special offer in our local Asda, although the usual price is around a pound.
The nutritional information on the reverse of the package informs me that these sweets are gluten and nut free, so if you suffer from these food allergies, these may well be worth checking out!
There is also information that tells me that 100g of these sweets will provide me with 344 calories and 0.2g of fat. The sweets are not suitable for vegetarians due to the gelatine contained in them.
I would highly recommend this offering from Haribo and if you haven't tried it before I would say that the Super Mix is one of the nicest 'mixes' from the Haribo range. I am going to award it four stars, with one knocked off because I find that the little milk bottles don't quite cut it with me...
Other than that though, this mix is brill! :-D
If you have read any of my other reviews, you will realise I have an extremely sweet tooth and I absolutly love anything sugary or anything sweet- wheather it's a chocolate bar, a bowl of ice cream, a bar of fudge or bag of jelly sweeties, I am an absolute sucker. I have always been a big fan of chocolate, but I have always been an even bigger fan of jelly and boiled sweets. One of my favourite brands being the world-famous Haribo.
In the past couple of weeks I've had quite a variety of different Haribo sweets on different occaisions, though one of my favourites that I hadnt had in a while were _HARIBO KIDDIES SUPERMIX_. These have always been a huge favourite of mine and I'd often choose these over the favourite choice of most people - Starmix. So a few nights ago, I had a massive craving for the haribo and decided to take a trip to the Esso garage over the road and make my purchase.
On arriving in the Esso garage, my face lit up- what a co-incadence. There was an offer on all the Haribo sweets, laying in a basket were a huge variety of large bags of haribo, above the basket a huge yellow sign stated 3 for £2. I was not a girl to pass up an offer and in I dived into the basket, and rummaged about for which ones to choose. STARMIX- everybodys favourite were nowhere to be seen- probably because these are the most popular, however there were bags of Tangfastics, HappyCola, FootBall Mix, Strawbs, and Chamallows, and there burried right at the bottom were my beloved KIDDIES SUPERMIX. I grabbed the bag before anybody else could and began to decided which other two I would buy. I eventually decided on a bag of HappyCola and a bag of Tangfastics, though I knew the ones I'd be consuming that night would definitly be the Kiddies Supermix.
I was quite pleased with the price I was getting these for- glancing up at the shelfs where the regular packets of Haribo hang I was told that 1 bag was £1.09, so this was definitly a bargain and I left the shop with a huge smile upon my face.
I arrived home happily swinging my carrier bag over my shoulder. I hurried into the kitchen, eager and excited to gobble down my sweets. I fished around in the bag and pulled out the three bags, I hid the Tangfastics and the HappyCola in the back of the cupboard (So nobody could find them), and pulled the Kiddies supermix out, and took them through to the living room, ready to tuck in.
It was at this point I decided I could write a review on these little beauties, so I examined the package further.
On first impressions, the bag felt quite heavy and Haribo had been very generous with the contents of the bag- Result! I examined the bag further. It was definitly aimed for kids- the top half and bottom quarter of the bag was an extremely bright red and would definitly stand out on the shelf, not only to kids but to adults alike. In the top half of the packet, on the red background, the word HARIBO is written in bright yellow writing- though it is very easy to read. Underneath the word haribo, KIDDIES SUPERMIX is written in smaller, white writing, again standing out very nicely. As with all haribo products there is a clear "window" in the packet where you can see inside the bag. This one is no different, the clear "window takes up roughly just over a third of the bag, and definitly tempts the buyer. There is nothing much else on the front of the packet, apart from the Trademark Haribo Boy- this time he is sitting on a yellow spacehopper- no relevance at all to the products inside. The bag I purchased was the 225g bag. These are the only size of Haribo supermix you get, apart from the tiny 10p packets which only contain 4 or 5 sweets. The large bags are available in a variety of different places; supermarkets, newsagents, cinemas, airports etc, and are usually situated amongst the other haribo products.
Before tucking into these, I thought it would be best to check the nutritional information on the back of the pack. For some reason Haribo think I want to know the informtaion in various different languages and it did take me a while to actually understand any of it. Nutritional wise- 100g of these conatins 344 calories, 0.2g of fat, 63.4g of sgar and only a trace of salt. So if you were to eat the whole packet of these, you'd have to times it by two, and then add on another quarter of what 100g is. So definitly not the lowest calorie treat and definitly not low in sugar- these will have kids bouncing off the walls. Howver a good thing is that they're low in fat and salt, so all is not lost.
Okay, enough dilly dallying- it was now time to tuck into my sweets. So I wripped open that bag, very easily and poked my nose in for a closer look. Just as I had earlier thought, there was a great quantity inside the bag, and as I glared in my tummy began to shout at me.
The smell of these were quite pleasent- in a weird sort of way. They didn't spell "cheap" or "fake" in any way, though they certainly didnt smell healthy. I did detect a slight hint of a fruity smell, but the most predominant was just that sugar smell that you get off most chewy sweets. Yum!
Now the time had eventually come to tuck in. I decided to try each individual sweet one by one to begin with and get an idea of what my favourites were. The first one I picked out was a milk bottle.
'''Milk Bottle'''- This was the first one I pulled out. It was roughly the same size as the cola bottle you get in Starmix, though it was all white and felt slightly more dense. Im quite a guddle and feel the need to disect all my food and give it a good feel around; so this is exactly what I did with the milk bottle. I squished it inbetween two of my fingers- it was quite tough and only slightly squidgy- just as I had remembered it. Without further a-do, I popped it into my mouth and began to suck. The first thing I tasted was a slight hint of vanilla, when I sucked the sweet, no flavour was really given off, but when I started to chew the vanilla made itself noticable and the slight taste of milk was great with it too.
'''Jelly Babies'''- The next couple of sweets I pulled out were jelly babies. Dont get me wrong- these are not your normal, Bassetts Jelly Babies. No way. They are alot smaller, and alot skinner than the "normal" type. There seemed to be quite alot of these in my packet, which was no bummer as these are one of my favourites. The first one I tried was a red one. I shoved it into my mouth and began to suck. The outer coating was tough like that of a Bassetts jelly baby and had a slight berry taste too it, though I couldnt quite tell which type of berry it was- it was nice anyway. Once I'd sucked the coating for a while i began chewing, and the berry taste was even more delicious. These sweets in particular are very sugary and can sometimes leave a slight gritty feeling on your teeth. Each of the jelly babies in my pack were mainly the same and each only had a slight flavour to it, the main one being sugar. Perhaps these were my favourite ones in the packet.
'''Frogs'''- Now you get these sometimes when you buy mixtures in the newsagents- though the ones in the newsagents are normally only green in colour. However Haribo took it a stage further for there Supermix. They come in a wide variety of colours- green, red , yellow, oraange and the odd purple (I only found one purple in my bag sadly). The frogs are made up of two different substances, a white foamy back and a jelly top. The foam is very similar to that found on the fried eggs in starmix, only firmer. The first one I tried was the purple- and this was my favourite- sadly like I said I only found one in my packet. The taste was definitly that of blackcurrant and once I'd sucked and started chewing it made me want more, and more. This is definitly saying something as I am not usually a fan of blackcurrant flavoured things. The frogs were quite firm in texture and required a bit of chewing, they all had a same-ish flavour, though the orange one was definitly a lot stronger than the others.
'''Lizards'''- Very similar to the the frogs, only in a lizard type shape. Again these come in various colours, and the flavours are almost exact to those of the frogs. Luckily I got 4 of the blackcurrant ones and I was delighted as they tasted very fruity and very nice. I think the foam on the back of these is slightly softer and alot easier on the teeth.
'''Shoes'''- I have to admit I was a bit confsued when the last type of sweet I pulled out was in the shape of a shoe. Now im not sure if it was only my bag- but I actually had two different varities of shoes. The first couple I had were similar to that of the frogs and lizards- jelly ontop and foam on bottom, however towards the end of my packet, I found 2 shoes which were only white. Now it wasnt the same foam used on the bottom of the other sweets, it was alot softer, even softer than that of the Fried Egg in the Starmix packet. I think these were vanilla in flavour, but they werent very nice and I was certainly glad I didnt get more in my bag.
'''5 Sense Summary'''
*Sound- No sound
*Sight- Bright eye catching bag, tempting sweetys
*Touch- Smooth jelly sweets
*Smell- Sugary, slight fruityness
*Taste- Lovely, sugary, slight fruitness, blackcurrant is the best.
Well if you are like me then yes, they are definitly a good purchase- espescially when found on offer. They are extremely versatile as with most haribo products and they will appeal to a wide variety of people and be useful in a wide variety of situations- whether its for an afternoon pick-me-up, a treat, cinema trips, car journeys, a party, or just plain old pig out- these are sure too go down an absoloute treat.
Howevr on the contrary, if you are given these to your children, as with most sugary things, I'd only reccomend giving them in mdoeration as they will probably send your kids very hyper and once you start you just cant stop.
Haribo is a very well known company worldwide and produce a wide variety of products; including:
*Starmix; The nations favourite ; Jelly teddys, jelly rings, heartthrobs, fried eggs and cola bottles
*Tangfastics; A sour variety; Dummys, cola bottles, cherrys, lizards
*Chamallows; Strawberry and vanilla flavour fizzy marshmallows
*Strawbs; Strawberry flavour sweets in a strawberry shape- also come in a sour version

Although not my favourite pack of Haribo by any means this pack actually contains my favourite individual Haribo sweet. The hard jelly men that you get. This pack also contains a few other jellies that seem distinctly average by the side of the sweets in either the Starmix or the Tangfastics bags unfortunately.
This Mix comes in three sizes- 10p £1 and £1.30 I think. Though this would not normally make any discernible difference, in this case the difference is massive. I really like the 10p bags of this Haribo however having bought one of the larger bags, would never buy a large bag again. The sweets in the smaller bags are (shock horror) smaller but more importantly they are significantly harder. On the other hand, the sweets in the larger packets are soft, which makes them horrible to eat because something about the softness seems to make them incredibly sickly.
My advice is therefore to only ever buy the small packets of this Haribo and these are very good and great for wasting 10 pence worth of change. However avoid the large bags, you will probably regret buying them.
My sweet tooth has led me to sit at work munching on a bag of sweets. My chosen delights today are Haribo Kiddies super mix. I only chose them because I love all things relating to Jelly babies and this was the packet that was closest to my jelly baby fix without buying actual jelly babies.
The super mix is packaged in one of Haribo's most basic designs. There is none of the shiny packaging that comes with certain flavours and type of their sweets. This is a plain red packet, with a clear section to be able to see all the sweets through the packaging. I like to be able to see what I am going to be eating so this is nice for me when choosing a product.
My packet was a 175 gram packet and the actual bag was probably filled about half way. I don't understand why companies don't make their packaging smaller instead of trying to fool the consumer that they are getting more for their money when they can see the contents through the packet anyway.
The sweets included in the super mix are three varieties. Fake jelly babies and foam fruit gums, with a spattering of milk bottles. They include a good variety of flavours ranging from peach, apple, orange and more. I rarely have picked out the same flavour twice in a row whilst eating them.
The imitation jelly babies are a lot smaller than the real thing, but they do give off an immense taste of fruit, although synthetic. The foam shapes are a bit more refined and it's difficult to break through the flavour barrier of the foam which takes up over half the sweet to find a fruit sensation.
As the imitation jelly babies are so strong in flavour it's quite nice to follow it with a foam shape and you won't be disappointed with the lack of fruit coming through as there will be plenty of aftertastes left from the jelly baby.
Kiddies super mix boast to having no artificial flavours, which looks good on the outside of the packet but on closer inspection you learn that whilst there are no E numbers there is still plenty of sugar to get the little darlings hyper if they eat enough.
The packet also tells me that these sweets are gluten, nut, milk and Soya free.
I have found after eating a fair few of them that my taste buds are making the edges of my tongue tingle from all that sugar. It has left quite a funny feeling in my mouth that I really feel like I need to wash away.
This is a shame as I have been enjoying the taste of them whilst eating; just the aftertaste is letting them down.
I paid £1.59 for my packet, and they will last me over the course of the day. I don't think they are too expensive for what you get as compared to similar packets the price is on par.
Overall I probably wouldn't choose to buy these again purely because of the after taste I have been left with.
When I was diagnosed with a sugar intolerance a few years ago I nearly cried at the thought of never having Haribo again. There are still times when my husband has to physically restrain me from grabbing a packet when we are shopping. They are the most delicious sweet known to man. It is official and I will not have anyone say otherwise.
I only discovered Haribo a few years ago (probably good job otherwise my teeth would have all fallen out before I even reached adulthood!) They are a German company and have been around since 1920.
You can buy Haribo in a variety of different packets and flavours. The most popular and in my opinion the best is the Kiddies Super Mix. The sour ones are also really nice but only for the occasional treat. You shouldn't mess with the best formula. You can buy them in small bags (useless for adults - barely enough for a mouthful!), large plastic bags, or even big plastic tubs. (The plastic tub was my best christmas present of all time and I nearly cried with delight when I opened it!)
There is a big mixture of sweets available in each packet. My favourites are the ones that are backed with a white spongy sweet. This is not as sweet as the jelly half and so balances is out well. Though of course, it is still a sweet and therefore, um, sweet and also packed with sugar. But if you are totally deranged you can convince yourself that the white backing has the same nutritional content as other white healthy things, like milk!
The jelly is quite firm and really packed full of fruity flavour. All have individual flavours and although everyone will have their favourites, they are suitably similar to each other that if you like Haribo, you will like them all. I certainly do!
The big bags are about £1.50
Come on, you knew there had to be one. They are full of sugar and if you eat too many (inevitable because they are delicious), they make you feel sick. They also give you a massive sugar rush so not a great idea for kids, despite the name! With 334 calories per 100g, they are not ideal for those watching their weight.
Only eat it if you have some semblance of self control!
Kids and grown-ups love it so, the happy world of Haribo!!
It's true, I love Haribo as do most other people I know! What is it about those little gummy sweets that get kids and adult alike so excited?
Haribo is the biggest manufacturer of jelly and gummy sweets in the world! They were founded in 1920 in Germany by a gentleman called Hans Riegel. The name Haribo was devised by using the initials of his name with the initial of Bonn, the location in Germany where they are headquartered, HRB - Haribo!!
Haribo is sold in a variety of different packets/flavours but one of my favourites (ok they are all my favourite but as I had a packet of the Kiddies Super Mix yesterday) the Kiddie's Super Mix is what I am basing my review on. However, watch on for more reviews on all the other flavours as they are all as good as each other.
The Kiddie's Super Mix come in a plastic bag which is see through in the middle so you can see all the lovely sweeties that you are about to eat. The top of the bag is quite a bold red colour, in my opinion to really make the bag stand out on the shelves. Bordering the see through part are little carton pictures of al the sweets that are included in the bag. There is also a cartoon character of a little boy making the packet quite kid friendly in my opinion. There is also a note informing you that the sweets contain no artificial flavours.
I think the reason why people really like Haribo is that there are so many different sweets in each packet. For example, in the Super Kiddie's mix there are milk bottles, mini jelly babies, little jellies in the shape of trainers and little jelly figures in the shape of frogs. With the exception of the milk bottles all the jellies then come in a variety of different flavours and colours such as red, green, purple, orange, yellow etc. This makes each handful different, new and exciting. All the sweets have a nice taste to them and there are none that you wouldn't want to eat.
The bags generally cost anywhere from £1 (in Woolworths) to £2 in some train stations etc. Watch for two for one offers because you can often find these on Haribos sweets quite frequently!
I would say after a while though the sweets do become very sickly as they are so full of sugar. In my opinion it is quite easy to eat a bag in one whole sitting but I do not recommend it as it can make you feel quite sick afterwards!
Now, onto the nutritional values, look away now if you don't want to know! Although these sweets contain a very small amount of fat (only 0.2g fat) a whole bag contains 774 calories!!! If you go back to where I said I could eat a whole bag in one sitting then this is really scary stuff. The bags of Haribo come in a 225g size. The nutritional value is given for 100g which is 344 calories but if you actually calculate that a bag is more than that then it adds up. If however you see Haribo as a treat and just eat it now and again or buy a bag to share with everyone then it is not that bad.
All in all, this is one treat I will not be giving up anytime soon and definitely fun for kids and adults!!

For most his highly controversial and endlessly discussed Yeezus tour, Kanye West has brought breakout L.A. rapper Kendrick Lamar as his opening act. But for a handful of dates in the New York area, West teamed up with hip-hop legends A Tribe Called Quest as the show's opening act, with the events compounded by the drama of ATCQ leader Q-Tip announcing that the shows would be the last they'd ever play together.
While the shows generated lots of love for A Tribe Called Quest (and attracted a cavalcade of stars, including Dave Chappelle and Jack White), the union seems to have borne some interesting fruit. According to a recent interview, Q-Tip casually mention that he along with hip-hop pioneer Rick Rubin (who helped West shape Yeezus) will team up to produce Kanye West's next album.

Got a Fujifilm F70EXR. I know this is an old model, but got it for pretty cheap when a local retailer was clearing old stock.
Seems to have pretty good reviews and the EXR modes seem interesting.
10MP, 10x optical zoom and a relatively large sensor.
Thoughts? Anyone used one?

It's not so much the planet we need to worry about, it's each other. And ourselves.
That's the message of the documentary Climate Refugees, which aims to portray "the human face of climate change." The film takes viewers to flooded disaster zones in Bangladesh and China, to tiny island nations like Tuvalu under threat from sea level rise, and to the desert wastelands of Sudan, where, according to the UN, the devastating war in Darfur has been driven partly by climate change.
Extreme weather events are expected to become more common as the climate continues to change, raising the odds for disastrous floods like the ones Pakistan last year, which displaced more than 20 million people, and major droughts which will likely increase desertification in vulnerable areas of Africa and Asia, threatening food and water supplies for millions of people.
And all of those people will need someplace to go.

For the most part, the pickings in the midsize hybrid sedan segment were fairly mundane. Although it was only produced for two years (until the Mercury brand's scheduled demise in 2011), the Mercury Milan Hybrid offered a different take with its classy styling and inviting cabin.
As with its twin, the Ford Fusion Hybrid, the Milan Hybrid offered impressive fuel economy, with almost 40 mpg according to the EPA's combined rating. The Milan Hybrid also delivered an unusually lively experience behind the wheel. If you're shopping for a used hybrid-powered sedan, the Mercury should definitely be near the top of your list. Its combination of solid driving dynamics and superior fuel economy makes it easy to recommend.
Most Recent Mercury Milan Hybrid
The Mercury Milan Hybrid debuted for the 2010 model year and was produced essentially unchanged for just one additional year until the Mercury brand's demise for 2011. In typical Mercury fashion, the Milan Hybrid was a slightly upscale twin to a Ford -- in this case the Fusion Hybrid. As such, it employed a 2.5-liter inline-4 gasoline engine paired with an electric motor and a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack to produce 191 horsepower. The power was sent to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Along with a fuel mileage estimate of 39 mpg in combined driving, the Milan Hybrid had the ability under low load conditions to propel itself to nearly 50 mph under battery power alone.
The handsome cabin boasted quality materials and a wealth of standard features that included 17-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, automatic headlights, dual-zone automatic climate control, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, power front seats, eco-friendly cloth upholstery, the Sync electronics interface system (includes Bluetooth and an iPod interface) and a six-speaker stereo (with a CD/MP3 changer, auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio). Options included a rearview camera, a sunroof and a navigation system.
In reviews, we were pleasantly surprised by the Mercury Milan Hybrid's well-sorted chassis. It's not a sport sedan, but is more athletic than one would expect a hybrid sedan to be. Yes, you'll still get better mileage out of cars like the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius. But the Milan's superior driving dynamics and more welcoming cabin make this a smart dark horse choice for savvy used hybrid shoppers.
