Thanks for the thorough review. I was just thinking about switching to Gramps. It sounds like a lot of the problems you ran into are due to the default placement of windows and which windows are open when. I don't know much about Gramps, but I noticed that if you right click on the background (yes, I know, a big no-no on the Macintosh), you can add a "gramplet", which is essentially a permanently open view (relatives, ancestors, attributes, etc.). The gramplet can be embedded in the main window or floating.
Would this help you at all or am I just confused?
By the way, the last sentence of the first paragraph is truncated. "I really like the idea of a…"
Thank you Anonymous. In the future, it's always nice to post using your real name so that people can respond to you. I've fixed the missing second-half of that sentence, thank you for pointing that out.
As for the gramplets I did in fact spend some time playing with those, but they don't fix the problems I mentioned. The good news is that the developers at GRAMPS have actually been working on fixing the bugs, which I know because as I mentioned I submitted them in their bug reporting system and I see updates whenever something in the system related to these bugs are changed. According to their system, the Timeline Pedigree error which ended my review of GRAMPS has been fixed, although that fix won't show up until their next release of course. They have also replicated the map zooming problem I submitted, but haven't yet fixed it as far as I can tell (although it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing to fix).
Today I downloaded the latest windows version (GRAMPS: 3.3.0 (AIO v.2)). I also encountered the same problems with the graphical views as Philip described followed by the same prompt to submit a bug report and error message saying the database was corrupt and to run a tool to fix it.
So, for me, this is version of Gramps is not sufficiently stable for me to consider.
I recently downloaded the Mac version of Gramps, and my initial impression has been similar to yours. It doesn't feel intuitive, and I'm concerned about its stability since I've had a few crashes. Today when restarting after a crash I got a message that the family tree was locked, and in order to continue I would have to break the lock and risk damaging the database. That spurred me to see if there are other free programs, and I found PAW2U which I downloaded and looked at briefly after importing my GED file from Gramps. I can't say that PAW2U looked or felt more intuitive than Gramps, but I may try using it for a while just to see if it is more stable which is my big concern.
Interesting review, there would be quite a couple of remarks to be made but I stick to one. The line that intrigues me the most is:
"In GRAMPS, the closest thing to the view in Reunion is the Families view".
I don't know on what grounds you drew this conclusion, but it is even more surprising considering the paragraph before that discusses the Relationship view. From your description of Reunion, with which I am not familiar, I guess you should have compared Reunion's view with Gramps's Relationship view, not with Gramps's family editor.
Michiel, I'm not sure why you question my comparison when you are not familiar with the program I am comparing it to. In Reunion, the main view, as I described, is a couple, showing the couple's parents and their children. It is a very easy view to navigate since you can click on anyone and they move to the couple level in the view. Simplicity in this case wins out because it is intuitive. You're sure to see three generations in one screen.
I have plenty of issues with Reunion's UI as well. The program itself hasn't had a major update in over four years. The UI itself dated back much further. There are some things Reunion can learn from GRAMPS, but some of the basic usability features of Reunion can also be learned by GRAMPS.
That's not to say I don't like GRAMPS. I fully support the creation of an open source genealogy program to help people document their families. I do think the UI needs to be improved to make it more accessible to the average person. I also think the stability needs to be improved, at least on the Mac where I've tested it. I'm not a contributing developer of GRAMPS, but if I was I would do a feature freeze, work on increasing stability and fixing bugs, and add a simpler interface that beginners could use to get started with the program.
Thanks Philip for your reply. I think it is useful to see comparable screenshots of Reunion and Gramps. Your description of navigation in Reunion also applies to Gramps: you can click on any person in that view to move that person up to the top of the view, or in Gramps talk, "make that the active person". Note that in the Gramps screenshot the family is collapsed, the little triangle on the left points horizontally, which is somewhat unfortunate for this discussion, normally you would see the list of children of Lewis Anderson Garner and Luella Jacques Martel. So it is just as easy in Gramps as in Reunion to move to children or parents, it is just the parents of the spouse that Reunion can reach in one mouse click, while Gramps needs two (first go to the spouse, then to the parent). On the other hand, secondary parents (foster, adoptive, etc.) and second (and more) spouses are only one mouse click away in Gramps, while I don't know how easy these are reached in Reunion.
Just one short remark about the stability: Gramps has one release with new features per year, typically in spring and the number ends on a zero. The other releases during the year are bugfix releases that increase the last number by one for each release.

I first have to congratulate Adelina for finally putting together a clean sp. Im not really a fan of her, but i cannot deny that she was good and deserves the first place
I believe that Carolina was under-scored in components (exception of transitions) . For Carolina to only be .5 above sotnikova in skating skills is an outrage. Kostner in my opinion has the best skating skills in the worlds and was not rewarded here. Im not saying she should be getting 10.0 ,but for her to be getting 8.00 and lower for her components is ridiculous.
I do not believe Kostner should be winning, however she deserves more in components giving a score of 66.5 or something
Really hope kostner is rewarding in components in the long. Except for transitions because we all know she has none if the free

Vermont's education secretary visits Manchester Elementary Middle School
MANCHESTER -- On Monday, Manchester Elementary Middle School played host to important visitors from the Bennington Rutland Supervisory Union and Vermont Agency of Education.
Rebecca Holcombe, the secretary of education, along with Daniel French and Jackie Wilson from the Bennington Rutland Supervisory Union, from the toured the school and was able to witness some of the programs and classrooms. Holcombe observed classes at all grade levels and even put together puzzles in pre-kindergarten.
French is the superintendent of schools for the supervisory union and Wilson, a former principal of MEMS, is an assistant superintendent. They were joined by Sean-Marie Oller, a member of the state education board who is currently the chairwoman of the Mt. Anthony Union school Board in Bennington.
She started her career teaching high school and middle school and then later became an elementary school principal.
Vermont, Holcombe said, is a state that deeply values and cares about education and she believes this will be an asset when trying to improve the education system.
"I think the one thing we can try to do at the agency is to try and convene conversations ... bring all these wonderful people together so that when we do the work we are doing so more systematically," she said. "And in a way that really builds on the tremendous strength that we see and showcases them ... at the end of the day I think our goal is to help improve student learning."
Currently, in both the state house and school districts around Vermont, there is discussion about the possibility of consolidating supervisory unions and schools districts, in an effort to create a more systematic form of governance. Holcombe said what students need to learn has changed dramatically and the system in Vermont is one designed in the late 1800s -- making it a challenge to effectively deliver what students need to be successful now. However, what she does not believe needs to be changed is the local participation in school boards across the state.
"What I think is one of the strengths of Vermont schools is strong local participation and involvement," she said. "I don't see it as an effort to remove community voice and input, I think what makes our schools so powerful is the very high level of parent engagement."
Instead, what Holcombe said she thinks would be the best model is one of strict control about Vermont's goals for students, but the local flexibility to implement those goals in a way that fits each school or supervisory union.
Consolidation is also under discussion due in part to the rising cost of education in the state, in a way that many lawmakers and educators believe in not sustainable. Holcombe said a restructuring of governance could help taxpayers and parents see the outcomes and also how effectively resources are being utilized to reach those goals.
The consolidation of governance is not the real goal though; it is instead giving Vermont's students the skills they need to compete in the job market of the future.
"It's really about trying to help kids become self directed learners. Because when they leave school, 60 percent of the jobs they will hold haven't even been invented yet," she said. "We can't train them to take those jobs because we don't even know what those jobs are. What we have to train them to do is to be able to continue to be able to learn and grow."
This, she said, is a huge change of what is expected of schools and teachers need the professional development resources and collaboration to be able to impart students with the skill set they will need.
This new skill set will be another part of the changes in education happening in Vermont. Another is the change from the New England Common Assessment Program [NECAP] to the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium [SBAC]. Holcombe said because the SBAC is an adaptive computer test, it will provide better data in the areas it tests than the NECAP and this information will be used to help understand why, for example, the state of Vermont has an issue in educating low-income boys.
"The test [SBAC] allows us to pull out patterns, so when thinking about personalized learning we can ask good questions, about how our system isn't [working for low income boys," she said. "What can we do to make it for that particular population so they can engage more"
However, like any test, the SBAC will not test in all the areas students learn everything from civics to skills like problem solving and initiative are not included. Those skills can be seen in the classroom, like the second grade class at MEMS Holcombe observed was creating stores and building a town.
"[Watching the second graders] They were using spatial reasoning and mathematical computation, problem solving," she said. "When you actually look [at the students in the classroom] you can learn a tremendous amount about their resourcefulness and initiative and how they can integrate skills and leadership. That's the kind of learning in the new accountability model that we're always working on"
The accountability model Holcombe refers to is a part of the Education Quality Standards Vermont adopted a revised version of in late 2013. Performance assessments are one portion of these standards currently being developed that will help demonstrate mastering growth and student skills, she said.
Holcombe said that innovation will be used to help make sure these Education Quality Standards will be met. She said innovation will be utilized in many fashions including the bill Rep. Jeff Wilson introduced written by BRSU superintendent Dan French that would create "education innovation zones" in supervisory unions and districts, allowing for changes in policy while cutting through some of the bureaucratic red tape.
"We're acknowledging there's a place for local innovation," she said. "What's good for one school in terms of flexibility is probably good for another and in gathering evidence our hope is to showcase and curate [those innovations and changes] on the state level."

In 2011, nationally known radio personality Bev Smith signed off as host of the "The Bev Smith Show" on American Urban Radio Networks after more than 10 years with the station and a four decade career in radio. Some might've decided it was time to retire, but not Smith.
Instead she took her savings, built a radio studio in her home, and began soliciting radio stations around the country to get back on the air. In 2012, Smith's show was on three stations, but by the end of this month, she'll be featured on more than 20.
"I feel immensely blessed because women who are in my age category, we don't get second chances. Show me other women locally or nationally, other than Barbara Walters," Smith said. "I'm very thankful to God because I feel blessed. I'm blessed to be able to do something I really want to do."
Now, the New Pittsburgh Courier has selected Smith as the Legacy honoree for their 2013 50 Women of Excellence. When asked about her legacy, and the highlights of her life, Smith said she's most proud of her daughter.
However, she also reflected on a trip to Haiti where she brought children school supplies, and another experience where she helped families suffering from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Other highlights included her trip to Israel and meeting President Barack Obama and the First Lady.
Smith began her career in 1971 when she was named Pittsburgh's first African-American consumer affairs investigative reporter for WPXI Television. In the time since, she's received nearly 300 awards and recognitions for her contributions to radio and television.
Next, Smith is planning a convention for 1000 women to come to Pittsburgh in August to address their role in the problems facing the African-American community. United States Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee has already agreed to take recommendations from the convention to the Congressional Black Caucus.
"We as Black women have fallen down on the job. We have to do better," she said. "We want women to take the challenge. I want the women to unite. I want the women to come together."
Smith is also passionate about childhood literacy and has been involved in the Reading is Fundamental and Head Start organization. In her spare time Smith is also writing a book "Interview with Jesus," which she categorizes as spiritual mystery fiction.
"I have nothing to complain about. Broke yea, but who isn't," Smith said. "When people say you can't do it, I think of the poem by Edgar Guest and the beginning of it says, 'Somebody said that it couldn't be done. But he with a chuckle replied that maybe it couldn't, but he would be one who wouldn't say so till he'd tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin on his face. If he worried he hid it.' Get ready."
The 2013 50 Women of Excellence Awards Luncheon will be held June 20 at the Omni William Penn Hotel from 12-1:30 p.m. Celebrity host Robert Hill will be the master of ceremonies.

Federal stimulus money makes Minnesota deficit smaller
ST. PAUL - Minnesota budget writers are thanking Washington today as finance officials announce the state deficit actually dropped from what was expected - thanks to an economic stimulus package.
The deficit now is expected to be $4.57 billion in the two years beginning July 1 - out of a $33 billion budget - instead of the previously predicted $4.85 billion. Without the federally approved economic recovery money, however, the deficit would be $6.4 billion, according to budget documents leaked to reporters before this morning's official announcement.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty and other state leaders had predicted the deficit would be at least $6 billion, and could top $7 billion.
Federal money should mean the current budget will not go into the red, and a couple of million dollars could be left over in the state budget reserve, state finance officials are expected to announce.
State officials continue to figure out how they can use federal money, passed last month as a way to stimulate the nation's economy. Strings attached to the money have not all been sorted out.
Even with a smaller-than expected deficit, state officials have their work cut out for them. The $4.57 billion deficit means they have to either cut spending, raise taxes or do a combination of both. Even in past down economic times, state budgets have increased, not actually shrunk.

GimpLensfun is a Gimp plugin to correct lens distortion using the lensfun library and database.
See http://lensfun.sebastiankraft.net/ for download and instructions.
Since version 0.2.1 there are official Windows binaries available!
I was really happy to find this plugin to integrate lensfun in gimp. But unfortately the gimplensfun.exe just crashes.

Is there a solution for it?
No, the image name is IMG_6223.JPG. Also tried it with IMG6223.JPG. I can do the settings and say OK. Then the bar "Lensfon correction..." runs at the bottom of the window up to about 90% to the right. Then the gimplensfun.exe crashes.

The reason for the crash was that I tried to use the existing Generic lenses that came with GIMP-lensfun.
When I created my own lens it worked fine.
A questions rgd creating your own lens:
What changes if I use a different type: "rectilinear", "fisheye", "panoramic", "equirectangular", "orthographic", "stereographic", "equisolid", "fisheye_thoby"?
Thank you.
it should change a lot as would changing type of lens in your camera or project your image to a semisphere instead then on a plan
If you are interested to special FX may be worth try ,(instead then correct you may create or enhance distortions that may result in interesting artistic effects )
if not i will stick with the type of lens and mapping correspondent to that of your camera
Great. Is there a 64-bit Windows binary somewhere?
64 bit build are still experimental ? Maybe somebody is still experimenting new concepts as hot water and wheel?
The problem is not make 32 bit apps work in 64 bit computer, the problem is the limitation of 32 bit
Modern computer come with a lot of RAM, Ram that can be used only by 64bit programs, instead at 32 bit only 2 GB of Ram are supported and the rest even if installed can't be used
luckily gimp 2.7 is already available at 64 bit and should be no problems to build gimp 2.8 for 64 bit, when will be realised

'Racism is a refuge for the ignorant. It seeks to divide and to destroy. Its the enemy of freedom, and deserves to be met head-on and stamped out.' – Pierre Berton
I feel bad whenever I think of the day I spent with people from the an extreme right wing political party. I marched alongside them all over Paris. It was 19 years ago. I was in Paris and I wanted to celebrate May Day, the 1st of May. In our country everybody celebrates May day. I had no idea May day was celebrated and Joan of Arc was honored by no other people but the extreme right wingers in France. Not only I marched with a bunch of neo-nazis, skinhead, racist white supremacists wearing heavy boots, I applauded like them when their leaders were giving racist speeches. I did not know French. I thought they were talking about the workers rights. I had no idea that their speeches were hate speeches against non-white immigrants. They laid down flowers in front of a statue of Joan of Arc, I did the same. I was the only non-white among tens of thousands of whites. I noticed they were staring at me with strange eyes. I thought French eyes were strange. Next day when I told my friends about my May Day celebrations, they were shocked, they told me that those people were France's far-right Nationalists, there were many skinhead white supremacists among them. I was lucky that I was alive, that I did not get beaten up or killed.
But I am an invited guest in France! I said. My French friends said, 'They didn't know that you were a guest. They didn't know that you would stay only for a few days! They definitely thought you were an immigrant! You should know that those people do not want to see any black or brown in this country.' Since then, I stay at home during May day in Paris.
I lived in the West for more than a decade. I was treated as a V.I.P. or a distinguished resident. I was respected and honored by the governments and many reputed institutions and organizations. I had armed police protection round the clock. But still I experienced racism. If I had to experience racism, I can imagine how much racism ordinary people experience everyday!
Recent Sikh temple shooting in Wisconsin reminds me of racism I face and other non-whites face in the West. Mr Page, the white supremacist skinhead racist probably wanted to kill Muslims but killed Sikhs because he mistook turbaned Sikhs for Muslims, or he just wanted to kill a bunch of brown immigrants, no matter in which god they believe in.
Mr. Wade Michael Page served in the US military. I have been thinking whether American soldiers get specially trained to be angry at black and brown people in Asia, Africa and Latin America during their overseas operations. Some of them, I am sure, think, that, the little poor people in the little poor countries are not Americans, they must be terrorists or they must be enemies. We know what kind of brutality prisoners witnessed at Abu Gharib prison in Iraq.
Mr. Page was like one of the racist US soldiers in Abu-Gharib or the soldier who at 3 p.m. in Afghanistan woke the civilians up and killed them. That was an intentional killing of innocent men, women and children. The difference between those soldiers and Mr. Page was, Mr. Page didn't have his Military job but they had while they were killing and torturing people.

SAN DIEGO (AP) The San Diego Chargers have a long list of injuries heading into Sunday's home game against Baltimore.
The wobbly Chargers (4-6) are in dire need of a victory to keep their slim playoff hopes alive after losing two straight games and five of six.
``Obviously, we are playing one of the better teams in the league,'' coach Norv Turner said Wednesday. ``They are a balanced team that is very good on defense. We have a lot to prepare for and we're excited about returning home.''
If they are going to upset the powerful Ravens (8-2) they'll likely need a boost from some backups, particularly on the left side of the offensive line.
Left tackle Jared Gaither (groin) didn't practice Wednesday and his track record suggests he's a long shot to heal in time to face the team that drafted him. If Gaither can't go, the task of helping stop the Ravens' versatile pass rush falls on undrafted rookie Michael Harris.
Left guard Tyronne Green, another key member of the Chargers' offensive line, didn't work either, sidelined by a hamstring injury. If Green can't play, veteran left guard Rex Hadnot would get his first start of the season.
``Michael Harris is one of the two guys on the left and he is healthy and playing,'' Turner said. ``He is learning; it's been quite an experience for him and us as he played and made progress. It is a real challenge for him each week he goes against some of the best players in the NFL. I do believe he is doing everything he can to meet that challenge.''
The Chargers' pass protection has been among their glaring weaknesses. With two starters possibly out against a Ravens' pass rush, which features Terrell Suggs, the Chargers could be hard-pressed to present quarterback Philip Rivers with a clean pocket.
Cornerback Quentin Jammer, who left Sunday's loss in Denver because of a calf injury, practiced Wednesday and should start against the Ravens.
But defensive tackle Aubrayo Franklin was unable to practice and indications are he will miss another game with a knee injury. Antonio Garay would fill in.
Wide receiver Eddie Royal (hamstring), tight end Dante Rosario (hamstring) and linebacker Larry English (calf) were limited to side work.

I love ''normal'' Kitkat chucky bars but it was my husband who first introduced me to the peanut butter variety and I must admit that I have not been very impressed with them. These bars are massive. They consist of an outer later of extremely thick milk chocolate, and inner layer of wafers and a coating inside this of peanut butter. I personally find these bars very sickly and far too sweet but my husband adores them. He can polish off two in no time at all, and I don''t know how he does it. Possibly the most impressive thing for me is the amount of chocolate they have layered onto these bars and I do admit that on one occasion when I really needed a sweet fix, this hit the spot. However, this is certainly not my first chocolate bar of choice as they are so large and the combination of the peanut butter with the chocolate is just a little bit too much for me. They are expansive to buy and I actually much prefer the plain old kit Kat chunky bars as I just think they taste nicer. Not great for the waistline either, as they are loaded with fat and calories . I can only give this bar two stars, sorry .
One thing that I have never really been a fan of is peanut butter so when Nestle introduced the peanut butter kit kat chunky a few years ago I wasn't that keen on trying it. But my husband actually purchased me one and not being one for not trying things I ate it and fell in love that was until they were discontinued. But more recently Nestle launched a campaign for people to vote for three different flavoured kit kat chunky's with only one remaining on permanent sale and lucky for me the peanut butter flavour won.
The peanut butter kit kat chunky bars consist of layers of thin wafer, with a layer of peanut butter on the top and all coated in thick milk chocolate.
I purchased my last peanut butter kit kat chunky from my local Tesco express store where they were priced at £0.65 each or three for £1.20. Obviously I purchased three as I like to get value for money.
The kit kat chunky comes packaged in foil wrapper which is still mainly the signature red kit kat colour but has a section of beige to represent the peanut butter flavour. There is also a picture of a peanut in and out of its shell. On the back of the wrapper you can find more detailed product information including ingredients listings, nutritional information and that the bar contains no colours, flavourings or preservatives.
These kit kat chunky's are not the healthiest option with each 48g bar containing the following nutritional information:
Calories - 260 kcal
Protein - 4.0g

I really love the taste of these bars the chocolate is very thick and creamy with the wafer being light and crispy. The addition of the peanut butter gives a slightly salty taste which compliments the sweetness of the chocolate perfectly. The peanut butter is smooth in consistency so there is no actual pieces of peanut. The bar is quite rich and I certainly would not be able to eat more than one at a time but with a huge 260 calories then this is certainly a good thing.
Overall this is a lovely bar of chocolate and even for a non peanut butter fan I really enjoy this chocolate bar as the flavours work together perfectly. I will continue to purchase these as an occasional treat and would highly recommend them.
I've never been much of a chocolate lover, and a Kit Kat has always been kind of a take it or leave it option for me. That all changed the day Nestle started releasing special edition Chunkys, and I was well chuffed the day that my favorite flavor was voted 'Chunky Campion' by the people.
Peanut Butter Kit Kat comes in a standard Kit Kat Chunky wrapper but with a smudged brown coloring that really makes it stand out from the crowd. These days a blue 'chunky Champion' ribbon stands proudly on the front of the wrapper to a chocolate bar that is now very easy to find.
Opening the wrapper releases a very strong Peanut butter scent that readies your taste buds for chocolate heaven. Of course it is entirely possible that you dislike the smell of Peanut Butter, so be warned that for some people this wonderful scent has been known to make them gag. It really is very strong.
Taking the first bite reveals an incredibly sweet creamy flavor, and a nicely gooey layer of Peanut Butter that adds some needed moisture to the normally dry wafer center.
Like all Kit Kat chunkys this is segregated into three breakable sections that enable you to snap a section off rather than bite straight in. this is good as this is a seriously chunky chocolate bar and you don't want to be making a mess when the wafer crumbles. I suppose you could also use this for sharing purposes, but let's be reasonable now people!
It seems that fame has not gone to this particular chocky's head as the Peanut Butter Kit Kat has retained its standard 60p price point. This is highly worth it for a chocolate of this caliber, that easily manages to surpass a fairly Meh original bar. The Peanut Butter center should appeal to Peanut Butter lovers with a sweet tooth everywhere.
Be warned though; at 260 calories per bar this is one chocolate that is not going to be doing your man boobs any favors!
I tried this in tesco when they had it in their usual sweet stock (they don't seem to be stocking it anymore, I don't know whether it was discontinued or if my store is too small - something to be aware of...)
The bar comes in a wrapper that looks much the same as the usual kitkat chunky wrapper, only with slightly different colouring (see the picture). It is about 5 inches long, 1 inch wide. On the front, it clearly states KitKat and the flavour and on the back it had nutritional information and the ingredients list.
When opened, it looks the same as a regular kitkat chunky, 3 indistinct sections on a nearly cuboid shape (slightly tapered). When bitten into, you see the bottom half is KitKat's usual wafer type biscuit and on the top a layer of peanut butter.
I have found this to be a very good modification to the normal kitkat chunky's which i saw to be a little boring in taste and texture. Though it is very nutty (though that should be expected) so be wary if you're not a huge fan of peanuts. It adds a softer/gooey element to the product which I happened to quite enjoy and felt it added something lacking previously. I also thought it was relatively good on price - aroundd 60p - as this is similar to other chocolates of a similar size - and cheaper than some which are smaller...
The only problem I had with this bar is that it is hard to come across... It does not (even in a time when they were popular) appear to be available in many places so it was necessary to track it down...
Overall, a good all round chocolate bar as long as you like kitkats and peanut butter! Be aware they are a rare breed and you may have to hunt for them, but well worth it if you fancy a mix up to the usual kitkat
I was a huge fan of the peanut butter KitKat chunky bars the first time around, so was delighted to see that Nestle have re-launched them as part of a recent promotion whereby the public got to vote for their favourite limited edition KitKat chunky.
The bar comes in the usual KitKat chunky wrapped, however instead of being red the packet is light brown/yellow. The bar consists of a wafer, topped with a layer of peanut butter and covered all over in a thick layer of milk chocolate. I think Nestle have got the ratio of wafer to peanut butter to chocolate just right in this product. The chocolate is nice and thick and the wafer has just the right texture. The layer of peanut butter is thick enough for you to taste it yet there isn't so much that it overwhelms/sickens you. The peanut butter is smooth and does not contain any peanut pieces.
I think the peanut butter adds an almost salty taste to the chocolate bar. I am a huge fan of salty sweet combos and so it definitely works for me! I do not like peanut butter on its own, however I do like nuts and chocolate for example snickers bars or chocolate covered nuts.
I would say that this is quite a substantial bar of chocolate and will really satisfy any chocolate craving. It is big enough to make you feel like you've had a treat. With 260kcals and 22% of your daily recommended fat intake, it is something that should be enjoyed as a treat, however these days who expects chocolate to be healthy!
I would recommend these bars to anyone who likes the combination of nuts and chocolate. They can be found in most shops that sell confectionary and are around 60-75p, priced the same as any standard bar of chocolate.
Thanks for reading/rating and I hope you enjoyed my review.
If I'm right in thinking, Kit Kat used to sell these for a limited time before they launched the competition for the new flavour. At this time I was a hater of all things peanut so it just completely passed me by! When the flavour competition started up, one of my friends kept telling me to try them because they were just SO good (and I trust her on all things food related). They were initially very hard to track down as they were clearly the most popular flavour, as they still are today, but Co-Op shops or local independent newsagents are your best bet. Occasionally I've seen them in Tesco Express, but it's normally once in a blue moon. The price is around the same as most chocolate bars at the moment - around the 80/90p mark. I'm pretty sure you used to be able to buy chocolate bars for about 30p (and that wasn't even that long ago, I'm only 18!) - damn inflation. We eventually managed to find some in our local Premier newsagents near our College after what seemed like nearly half an hour of searching.
So, we'd finally tracked them down - would they be worth it?
Yes. Yes they were. From the outside they looked no different to a normal Kit Kat Chunky, they just had a light brown wrapper and they were exactly the same size. To be honest I didn't even think they smelled to much of peanuts! But that first bite - it was like heaven! There isn't a disproportionate amount of peanut butter compared to the chocolate or wafer, so instead of getting an overwhelming mouthful of peanut, it just works well with the other ingredients. You can still taste the wafer and the chocolate, but the peanut butter adds another layer of flavour which you just can't get from the caramel version. The only downside is that if they're a bit warm when you buy them, the peanut butter can go a bit claggy in your mouth! I usually put my chocolate bars in the fridge so it's not normally too much of an issue for me.
This chocolate bar seems to have more of an American twist to it. We have an American sweet shop in our city centre and a lot of the foods have peanut butter in them - I've even seen a peanut butter twix! But the peanut butter Kit Kat Chunky still manages to do it without becoming overly sweet like some American style products. It still tastes like the good old recipe Kit Kat we know and love.
When I took my last chocolate purchase to the till in Boots, the assistant took a sharp intake of breath and squealed "oh my God!". She had been unaware that the Peanut Butter KitKat's were back in production, and like me was quite a fan of them. I reacted in the same way when I saw them on the shelves! Although the packet is emblazoned with the word "new", they were actually around in a limited edition bar a few years ago. They were then relaunched again, as part of a Nestle promotion which enabled you to vote for which of several special flavoured chunky bars would become a permanent fixture. Thankfully, the peanut butter flavour won, so hopefully it will be around for some time to come.
I do not think the new bar is exactly identical to the old version, but I may be wrong. It seems to be a bit less thick, and the peanut butter layer also seems thinner. It is still very nice though. I especially love the nutty smell which is just like the waft you get when you open a brand new jar of peanut butter. Like all the chunky sort of KitKats, you get one substantial bar in a packet rather than several of the thinner fingers. This means they are very filling and also that your teeth get to sink through a decent amount of chocolate. The chocolate is proper delicious milk chocolate too, which I think always combines beautifully with nutty flavours. Under the chocolate topping, is a layer of smooth and creamy peanut butter which is very tasty indeed. Beneath that is the traditional light and crispy wafer, which gives another lovely contrast of texture. If you like peanut butter, I am sure you would like this, but if you only have a mild liking for the spread, it may be too nutty tasting for you. The over all taste is quite sweet, and love them as I do, I couldn't eat a bar too often or I would find them too sickly.
There is another reason why I would always limit my intake. I don't expect any chocolate bar to be either a health food or low fat. I have lower expectations of one containing peanut butter than most because it isn't exact known as a dieters friend! Nevertheless, one bar contains a sobering 22% amount of an adults RDA of fat, and 260 calories. The fact the chocolate doesn't contain any artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives doesn't give me much comfort after reading that nutrition table. Of course, you don't need to eat a whole one in one go, but to be honest I always do. My excuse is that although the bar is lightly marked out into big pieces, you can't really break it into sections using those lines because if you try to the bar just crumbles.
Overall, I would recommend the bars to any peanut fans, although they are obviously not something to eat every day if you value your health. If you are going to have a treat, this makes a delicious and good quality one. I paid 90p for 2 in Boots - and I didn't eat both, honest. That was a special price offer and one that is still ongoing as of Saturday. You can also buy the chocolate bars in Superdrug and the other usual places. I have been able to buy a 3 pack in Poundworld which obviously makes the best deal, but they are not always available there. To be honest, I would pay £1 each for one, but I won't be suggesting that idea to Nestle..
Great news for peanut butter lovers - Peanut Butter Kit Kat Chunky is the winner of the 'choose your chunky champion' promotion in which Nestle released 4 different flavours of Kit Kat chunky (double chocolate, white chocolate, orange and peanut butter) and got the public to vote for their favourite which would remain in the shops. Peanut Butter flavour was available a few years ago for a while, but didn't stay around for very long and now it's back and improved.
I'm very happy peanut butter won as it is my favourite chocolate bar! I would have been gutted if it was only limited edition, but luckily it is here to stay, although it still seems to be a bit elusive in the shops. So far the only two retailers I've managed to find it in are Spar and Boots, but maybe my local supermarkets are just catching up.
The wrapper is golden yellow like the colour of peanut butter and if you look closely it's actually printed as if it was peanut butter that has been spread onto it. The actual chocolate bar is a wafer finger topped with a thick layer of peanut butter and covered in thick milk chocolate. It's not got as much crunch as the usual kit Kat chunkys because the peanut butter is soft; I quite like this because I find the standard chunkys a bit too dry and the mixture of textures from chocolate, peanut butter and wafer is really great. There isn't actually any peanut butter in the ingredients; it's actually called 'creamed peanut' which I imagine is sweeter than the peanut butter you buy in jars. I really like all peanut butter flavoured things which may be why I like this chocolate bar so much, but it's not a really intense peanut flavour so if you're on the fence with peanut butter I'd still recommend trying the Kit Kat Chunky version because I think the texture is the best thing about it rather than the flavour.
At 260 calories (13% GDA) and 15.2g fat (22% GDA) these are one of the worst chocolate bars if you're on a diet (most chocolate bars are around the 200 calories and 10g of fat I've found) and although it's not a disadvantage as such, it means they're not something I will eat every day. Having said that, I have found myself buying them whenever I see them which recently has been 3 or 4 times a week!
I pay 62p per bar at my local Spar, but this will vary depending on where you go. It's well worth giving them a try if you like peanut butter.
I noticed these online when Kit Kat had a campaign to choose a Chunky Champion and consumers could choose one of 4 varieties to go from a limited addition to a full time product. I never tried any of the varieties at the time as I tend not to look at the chocolate bars in shops or I get a bit of a taste for it and want to keep eating it. However, when I took the kids in the local shop for a little treat I really noticed this product on the shelf, and it really appealed to me.
Kit Kat Chunky bars have been eaten by me on many occasions, particularly when I was pregnant. I love the thick chocolate wrapped around the wafer, and it has a real crunch factor biting through the layers. I wasn't quite sure what to expect with this one. Would the peanut butter be quite chunky in itself or smooth?
Before I go on, I am not a massive fan of peanut butter. I find the taste on bread a bit weird. I can manage a small amount of it but couldn't eat a full sandwich of it as I find the tang a bit much. However, when I have eaten peanut butter flavoured chocolate bars before such as the ones you can buy when you visit America or from shops that specialise in imported products, something about the slight bitter tang against the sweetness of the milk chocolate really appeals to my taste buds, and I have no problem eating it in this format.
The peanut butter Kit Kat Chunky uses the same high quality chocolate Nestlé use in all their chocolate products. The layer of peanut butter is on top of the wafer and just underneath a decent thickness of chocolate. The peanut butter is really smooth, and thick enough to get some tanginess but not so thick it overpowers the sweetness of the chocolate. Overall, eating this was a very pleasant taste sensation, and now I have tried it I want to try it again very soon. Oh dear.
The price of the bar in my corner shop was 60p for a 48g bar. This is in line with costs of chocolate bars these days, and is enough to put you off indulging too frequently when you think how much it costs for a snack. A bar contains 260 kilocalories, of which 9% of calories are from protein thanks to the peanuts, and 22% is fat. So overall, not the healthiest of snacks, but as an occasional treat, I will let myself indulge in them. I think I would actually buy this in preference to a snickers bar or a normal kit kat chunky, as I really enjoyed what felt like an exciting and quite novel eating experience.
Kit Kat have recently launched a limited edition range of four new flavours of Kit Kat Chunky and have launched a campaign to crown one of the flavours a 'Chunky Champion'. The four new flavours in the range are - Chunky Orange, Chunky White Choc, Chunky Peanut Butter and Chunky Double Choc. However, the Peanut Butter flavour isn't bran new to our shelves as it was popular in the UK before but was discontinued in 2009 much to my disdain and then replaced by the caramel version.
I'm a fan of Kit Kat bars usually, my favourite being the four bar variety of a simple chocolate flavour. So having enjoyed them for years, when I say this new Peanut Butter flavour I decided to try it out.
The combination of lovely chocolate and peanut butter cream worked very well with the crisp wafer layer. The smooth but thick paste of peanut butter brought a rich nuttiness and blended with the sweet cocoa flavours made it a great tasting treat. It was a nice addition to combine the crispness of the wafer with the smooth texture of the Peanut Butter itself.
The bar is separated into three segments which make it easier to snap off one part and eat it, saving the rest for later. However, this is a bit difficult as the thickness of the bar makes it a bit awkward to do so. This is pretty useful as the richness of the Peanut Butter flavour makes it difficult for me to finish in one sitting. The flavour of the bar itself is very, very sweet, but it does at least taste of peanut butter.
The price of the bar is around 60p according to mysupermarket.com however in my local shops its usually a little bit more, but never more than £1.20. You can grab yourself a pack of 5 bars for £2 which is great value for money.
The weight of a single bar is 48g and is pretty hefty for a simple chocolate bar but that's to be expected from such a big, chunky bar. It contains 247 kcal and 12.5 g of fat which is again a bit much but for a chocolate bar isn't entirely rare. I personally think that its worth it for such a tasty treat.
As far as the KitKat brand goes, I've always been a fan of 'keeping it simple'. My favourite is the 4 finger classic - or it was.
It was an exciting day when I decided to try a normal chunky KitKat so you can imagine the trepidation that was around when I set eyes upon the peanut butter chunky version!
To its credit the USA has many types of treat which combine chocolate and peanut butter. We on this side of the Atlantic are not quite so lucky. So when ones comes around, it is my opinion that it should be grasped firmly with both hands (just not for too long as they'll melt).
The pack was a yellow colour with the familiar 'KitKat' branding on the front but the special part was what was inside. To look at it's nothing special, it could pass as its 'down-at-heel' original KitKat brother - it is however when you allow it to travel across your taste buds that the difference becomes very evident. Those of you who, like me, love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter will already be salivating at the thought. For those who you who haven't sampled this combination yet - it's the sweetness of the chocolate, mixed with the saltiness of the peanut butter and then the crunch of the wafer that has led to this chocolate bar holding such high esteem in the minds of chocoholics. The next decision to make is whether to let it chill and harden in the fridge prior to consumption - I do but plenty say the perfect flavour comes when the product is at room temperature. As ever it's a texture/flavour trade off - although in my estimation you're not losing a whole heap of flavour by chilling it.
Now, to the sad news. You'll notice I have been mentioning the product in the past tense. That is because (at least in the UK) it is no more. It was discontinued sometime in 2009 to the howls and wails of many people. The bar had amassed a small but loyal following due to the fact it was delicious and that there was no competition.
I actually emailed Nestle to get an answer as to what was going to happen to my favourite treat. They replied - alas it wasn't a temporary withdrawal, furthermore they gave me an explanation. Apparently the peanut butter KitKat was relatively expensive to produce, this combined with what I can only assume was sluggish sales (due to the narrow minded UK chocolate bar buyers) resulted in them removing the bar from our shelves. To add to the injury, they insulted us with the caramel KitKat.
I was distraught, you should be too. If we all stand up and be counted, make a noise, let Nestle know the error of their ways and maybe, just maybe they'll rethink their sad decision.
For those that have not tried kit kats they are a confectionary item which can best be described as having sticks of chocolate covered by milk chocolate.
The bars are quite crunchy however you still are able to feel the texture of the milk chocolate in your mouth which is a delightful sensation.
The way that these kit kats differ from the original kit kats is that they are one singular confectionary unit as opposd to multiple thin sticks and there is a lot more wafer and chocolate. This is the reason for the name chunky.
The peanut butter flavour kit kat crunchy is filled with smooth peanut butter which oozes from the centre and is beatifuk aking with the mafer and milk chocolate.
One of my favourite things about this is that even though this would be classified as a sweet it is not as sweet as most other items in this catergory and therefore you do not have to feel that guilty about eating it.
Furthermore I have been told that the prescence of the wafer means that there is less chocolate and therefore that this bar is less fatening then other products like cadburys dairy milk or galaxy milk chocolate hich consist of only chocolate which has a very, very high content of fat and suger per gram. This is definately a treat.
I can take or leave anything peanut flavoured, but being a fan of Kit Kats (and chocolate generally) I decided to try one of these whilst at my local shop yesterday.
Now these have been out for a while but I tend to stick to what I like chocolate wise, so don't often buy anything too different (Ooh I'm so boring I know!).
But thinking a change is as good as a rest as my lovely Gran would often say, I thought Kit Kat Chunky it is.
The price and packaging~
The bar comes in a mustard yellow coloured, foil wrapper which is all sealed to keep the freshness in. There is the familiar red and white 'nestle kitkat' logo on the front with 'chunky peanut butter' in white and blue lettering next to it.
On the back of the wrapper is the nutritional information and the contact details (in case your kitkat is defunct and you want to complain...no one wants a defunct kitkat!)
I paid 59p for this from my local co op store. They are renowned for being expensive but I have seen these bars priced in other shops at the same price.
A 50g bar contains 269 calories..but is it worth it?
So to the taste~
On opening the wrapper you are faced with a mighty looking chocolate bar, which lives up to it's title of indeed being chunky. There is a nice chocolate smell and just a slight hint of peanut butter. On biting into it you are met with an outer coating of thick chocolate which encases wafer and sweet peanut butter in the centre.
The peanut butter is not runny and there is not masses of it - just enough to give it that nice nutty taste.
My opinion~
I liked this. The peanut butter had that nice salty/sweet taste and it complimented the wafer and milk chocolate nicely.
I think I will be buying this again and maybe trying the new kitkat caramel..now there's a thought.
Mmm..just nipping to the shop..!!
Peanut Butter KitKat Chunky is yet another one of Nestles amazing chocolatey inventions and in my opinion is one of their best KitKats.
I first tried the Peanut Butter KitKat Chunky a few months ago (even though it was released in the UK in 2006) and have had far too many since. The Peanut Butter KitKat Chunky has also been released in Europe, Canada and Australia. My reasoning behind not buying the chocolate bar sooner was simply because I don't like peanuts or peanut butter so a peanut butter chocolate bar didn't even make it onto my radar.
Peanut butter KitKat Chunky is about an inch thick, an inch wide and about 5 inches long - it's called chunky for a reason and is considerably bigger than regular KitKats (and infact most chocolate bars). It comes in a 50g bar.
It is packaged in a foil wrapper and is easy to spot on the shelf as it is yellow and has the words 'Nestle KitKat Chunky Peanut' in big letters across the front.
On the outside of the Peanut Butter KitKat Chunky is milk chocolate. The chocolate is suprisingly thick and tastes lovely - unmistakably Nestle. Inside the bar are layers of crispy wafers (with praline inbetween) which give the bar abit of crunch to it and tastes lovely. So far what I have just described is pretty much a normal KitKat chunky, it's not until you throw the peanut butter into the mix that it comes to life. The peanut butter is a top layer inside the bar and is very thick and generous. The peanut butter is very sweet, rich, smooth and creamy - something that I didn't realise peanut butter could be.
All in all this is the perfect tasting chocolate bar and always perks me up if I'm having a bad day. And this is coming from somebody who doesn't like peanuts or peanut butter, so who knows what peanut lovers will make of this!? My guess is they too will love it. The only downside is that it is very sickly indeed, even for my sweet tooth.
The ingredients consist of sugar, cocoa butter, ground roasted peanuts, whole milk powder, wheat flour, cocoa mass, vegetable fat, whey powder, peanut flour, butterfat, soya lecithin, salt, flavourings, sodium bicarbonate, yeast and calcium sulphate. Ingredients may also contain traces of nuts and eggs. It is vegetarian but not vegan and anybody that is allergic to peanuts or any of the ingredients should obviously avoid.
Now for the sad part. Each 50g bar contains 269 calories and 15.8g of fat! Very fattening indeed but as long as you eat them sensibly I'm sure you'll be fine.
You can find the Peanut Butter KitKat Chunky from all good confectionary selling shops and can look at paying around 50p per bar.
I recommend the Peanut Butter KitKat Chunky to everybody - peanut lovers and non peanut lovers - you'll be pleasantly suprised by this nutty delight.
BAD NEWS - I think this was a limited edition KitKat, I can't seem to find it anywhere now! :(
Kit Kat has branched out in recently years, with the Kit Kat Chunky, and even a limited edition White Kit Kat. If you look around hard enough, you can also come across the Kit Kat Chunky Peanut Butter, a rather lovely but rare treat that'll instantly make a fan of it anyone who's ever loved Peanut Butter on toast!
Unlike the other Kit Kat iterations, it has a layer of peanut butter on top of the typical chocolate and wafer layers, and of course, there are no fingers to break off - this is just one thick bar of chocolate with peanutty goodness to boot! The second you get the bar out of the wrapper, there's that pronounced peanut butter smell you'll love, and without a second's hesitation, you'll bite into it and experience that chocolately goodness! The peanut butter is extremely crunchy which only complements the already crunchy wafer and creamy chocolate taste.
Kit Kat Chunky Peanut Butter is something of a mystery - it's pretty hard to come across these days, but some shops do sell it if you chance upon them. It's got a unique taste (at least for sweets sold in the UK - Reese did corner the market with their Peanut Butter Cups many years ago in America), although I do fear that the reason it's hard to find is because so many are put off by the idea of having peanut butter with their chocolate. It is a strange mix, but a strangely beautiful one that tastes great if you're at all a peanut butter lover. I would definitely be interested in seeing regular Kit Kits in this fashion also.

Illumina Tries its Own Hand at Losing an Acquisition Bid
Illumina, which earlier this year fended off a hostile takeover attempt, revealed late Friday that it made a competing bid earlier this month for Complete Genomics Inc. for about $113.3 million in cash, a 5% premium over the deal Complete Genomics agreed to with China-based suitor BGI-Shenzhen.
Complete Genomics said in a federal filing last week it had determined that an unsolicited offer from a "Party H," didn't constitute a superior proposal and wasn't in the best interests of the stockholders, claiming there was a substantial likelihood that any deal between the parties would fail to receive antitrust clearance. It also noted the companies are each other's closest competitors for customers in the U.S. for whole human genome sequencing as an outsourced service.
In its own federal filing on Friday, Illumina confirmed it is the "Party H" and said its offer of $3.30 a share, made on Nov. 5, was to be financed with cash on hand and wasn't subject to due diligence.
Complete Genomics reached a deal where BGI Shenzhen would acquire it for $3.15 a share and had said it expects to complete the transaction in early 2013. Complete Genomics at the time also revealed that all of its directors, executive officers and certain other major stockholders–who collectively own about 17.5% of the stock outstanding–had agreed to tender their shares.
Shares of Complete Genomics climbed 4.3% to $3.15 in premarket trading.

Thread: Tower Speakers
Tower Speakers
I know there is a lot of praise about different tower speaker set ups and brands, but I just wanted to give a shout out to Liquid Acoustics. I installed a pair of the Liquid Acoustics double tower speakers at the beginning of 2011 boating season powered by a Fosgate T600-2 amplifier. And I was pleasantly surprised once I cranked them up, but even more so on the water. They have exceptional sound at all volumes, warm tones and musical. I put 120 hrs on our boat last year, mostly towing, and probably twice that sitting and listening to music. Every time I crank the speakers up I am amazed at the clearity and the ability to hear the speakers at any tow length. Be it at the end of the 80' wakeboard rope when cutting completley out or 20' behind the boat surfing they still have great musical tones. Although the speakers are extremly loud and clear behind the boat the volume in the boat is very minimal, to the point were you are able to hear instructions from the passengers without yelling.
I know there is a lot of boaters looking for a tower speaker that sounds great and won't break the bank. If this is the case I can vouch for the Liquid Acoustics Dual LAXP-D8 wakeboard tower speakers. They are a little heavy, which were some of the concerns I had, but the tower has no problems handling the weight even in rough waters. They also are very easily installed and removed from the tower for transport (less than 2 minutes per speaker)
I am not affiliated with them in anyway just an extremely happy customer that has put there product to the test and wanted to pass the word on. (Even though there is a pic on their web site of my install) You can also see some pics of my install in my stereo install albums if insterested.
You can find them on ebay directly from LA for a steal right now.

MoreSplashHits always did like Hank Aaron.
And what's not to like?
He's one of the all-time great, even though he's often overlooked by those who put together lists or teams of the game's greats.
He's also one of the all-time great classy people in baseball history.
And now we have another reason to like Hammer' Hank.
Aaron, in an interview with the Associated Press, projected a World Series in 2011 between the Boston Red Sox and the San Francisco Giants.
"I know Philadelphia got Cliff Lee and all those other top pitchers over there," Aaron said. "But hey, those kids did a heck of a job last year for San Francisco. I think they're going to have a good account for themselves."
MoreSplashHits appreciates Aaron for the sentiment, but we suspect he'll be in the minority when it comes to prognostication in 2011.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy caused a stir when he pronounced the Phillies as the team to beat in the NL. We suspect Bochy was trying to deflect the spotlight from his team. But that really wasn't necessary.
All Bochy had to do was wait until all the bloggers, reporters, talking heads and other prognosticators start coming out with their predictions for the NL West.
We get the feeling that the Colorado Rockies will be the sexy pick.
Now the Rockies have a good team with a lot of very good young players and they've developed a quality starting rotation. And they had a solid 2010 despite losing Troy Tulowitzki to injury for almost two months. But the Rockies become the favored pick almost by default.
More prognosticators don't like to pick a team to repeat, because it lacks originality. Also, many just don't think the stars will align again for the G-men.
The Dodgers have too many questions, ranging from how they respond under first-year manager Don Mattingly to whether players like Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier will develop into team leaders.
The Padres, already lacking some offensive punch, traded away their best offensive player.
And the Diamondbacks just aren't ready to contend, yet.
So it's the Rockies. And that's fine. That's just the way Giants fans like it.

Guess who's annoyed. Yeah, that's right, it's me.
Guess who�s annoyed. Yeah, that�s right, it�s me.
I was planning to review the new �BioShock: Infinite� today, but it looks as if 2K Games decided to let IGN.com review the game the week before release � while not allowing other national reviewers, such as myself, to critique it that early.
Is 2K Games giving preferential treatment to certain favorites? I have no idea. But skeptical questions were popping into my head while I read IGN�s review.
Personally, I prefer to buy and rent my own games. But the practicality of the matter is simple: �Infinite� is reportedly too long for me to buy on its release date and play through, in time to make my deadline.
Anyway, this �BioShock� debacle leaves me stranded for a review I had planned, so I guess I�ll tell you which other games to buy instead. Actually, that is not a terrible idea since 2013 has been a great year so far.
1. �Tomb Raider� by Square Enix for PS 3, Xbox 360 and PC; rated �M�; four stars � This doesn�t look or feel like any old �Tomb Raider.� It plays a lot like Sony�s classic �Uncharted 2,� but starring Lara Croft in a cinematic, sometimes breathtaking, sometimes sinister travelogue on an island of very creepy, hands-y dudes. You get great guns, good puzzles and adventure scenes of Indiana Jones proportions.
2. �MLB 13: The Show� by Sony for PS 3 and PS Vita; rated �E�; four stars � I cannot stop playing this game, and I don�t even love real baseball. Maybe baseball players� faces don�t look perfect, but everything else does. More important: Batting, pitching and fielding is superb and utterly compelling. Be prepared to be patient, waiting for good pitches.
3. �DMC: Devil May Cry� by Capcom for PS 3 and Xbox 360; rated �M�; four stars � Here is an instant classic of a hack-and-slash sword game. You portray Dante, half-angel/half-demon. And you use incredible weapons (a sword, a �God of War�-type chain, an axe and huge fists) to beat down demons trying to ruin everyone�s day on Earth. It comes with anti-libertarian messages in filmic storylines.
4. �Dead Space 3� by EA for Xbox 360, PS 3 and PC; rated �M�; four stars � How would you like to kill space zombies? Do so in this third-person shooter, set hundreds of years in the future, as you portray Isaac the crafty engineer. You slay creatures and use telekinesis to move puzzling obstacles. This startling game made me jump at times. It is creepy and, at in some moments, it�s slightly reminiscent of �Blade Runner� (sort of).
5. The online multiplayer of �Gears of War: Judgment� by Microsoft for Xbox 360; rated �M�; three stars � I gave this game only three stars because the solo campaign is short (a third-person shooter, shooting aliens), and because I still don�t like how slowly �Gears� characters move. But the online multiplayer is the best of the franchise. So if you�re hankering for online gun battles, this is your 2013 winner to date.
(�Tomb Raider� by Square Enix retails for $60 for PS 3, Xbox 360 and PC � Plays exhilarating and fun. Looks awesome. Moderately challenging. Rated �M� for blood, gore, intense violence, strong language. Four out of four stars.)

I just got back from Australia, which is really very very far away. Getting back was a lot easier than getting there, for some reason. On the way there, we went from Philadelphia to LA, then from LA to Auckland – which is a long ass flight. No wonder Bjork beat that guy's ass! I would have opened up a big can of whoop ass on anyone trying to take my picture after that flight. Finally, after a long layover, I flew to Sydney. I somehow missed my ride from the airport so I changed some fairly worthless American dollars into Australian dollars and took a cab to the hotel. There were no rooms available so I had to wait about 5 hours for one to open up. By this time I hadn't slept for about 72 hours and I was OVER IT! I had been talking to this poor Japanese girl at the desk who had a big "TRAINEE" pin next to her name, and she had tried and tried to get me a room all day, to no avail. I sat in the lobby, smelling exactly like balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing, feeling totally out of it for half a day, just waiting. I couldn't even read or listen to my ipod or watch anything. All I could do was stare, I was so tired. Finally, at about 3pm, which was official hotel check in time – when they were required by law to have my room ready, I walked up to the desk and asked my TRAINEE, "Do you have my keys?" and a pinched looking British woman said, "Please." I turned to her and I said, "It's ok. She's my old friend. We've been at this all day." And the TRAINEE looked at her and bowed and giggled in that cute Japanese girl way. The woman said, "I don't care. It's still 'Please.'" I was so mad I almost hit her. I have never come so close to actually hitting someone in my life. My hand actually clenched into a fist! I really had to take a deep breath and calm myself down. I did all 12 steps in my head, then asked myself, "What would Jesus do?" my heart was beating super fast and I unclenched my teeth and my fist and I said, "Thank you for reminding me. I am so tired I am forgetting my manners." Then she said, "I understand. We are all a bit stressed." Ah… international incident averted!
11 Comments. Add To The Mix…
Oh dear, we all have our moments where the only thing that's gonna make us feel better is PUNCHING SOMEONE IN THE FACE! But resistance is the answer.
Hope you had an awesome time in Australia! Hope your Mardi Gras was as great as mine, saw you at the Sydney Theatre – was fucking brilliant! So was Ian!
Much love.
you are the bigger woman for choosing your battles carefully.
i'm not sure if she was actually part of the transaction. if she wasn't part of the A-B schematic, i would have to remind her how rude and inconsiderate it is to eavesdrop on the conversation of others. if she was required to interact with you, i would remind her that she is in customer service, that you are not employed as a merchant customer service agent nand she needs to get her nose back to the grindstone and her nose out of my business.
but you handled it with grace. me, i'm just a bitch, i guess.
Fuck Vanity Fair! You wuz robbed!!!!!!!!
Pingback: Travel Troubles
Hey Margaret…
Shame that's what got in your blog from your travels to Aus, though i will point out that the mad cow woman had a British accent and does not represent Australia at all… in any way.
Was a pleasure to meet you at the Media Briefing and see you leading the parade this year. You were a clear favourite of mine to be offered Chief of Parade, as the GLRL man said at the briefing, you are so like the parade.
Also thanks for being a huge superstar, and still choosing to launch an international tour in Sydney, and do TWO shows in one night. You are crazy, crazy lady, but people across Sydney thankyou for that craziness.
Safe Travels Margaret,
Stay Beautiful
Australia is very very far away, but worth it, dont you think? I saw your show at the Sydney Theatre and LOVED it! Havent laughed that much in ages!. So much so, I'm seeing you next Saturday in San Francisco too! I'm gonna become a Cho Junkie! LOL
Margaret, thank you so much for making the effort to get to Sydney!! THat flight is a bitch – I keep waiting for them to develop Fifth Element -style technologies so that you can be put into a restful coma for the entire journey (or alternatively, have hot sex with Gaultier-clad hosties during takeoff). I think that is only fair for such an arduous journey.
Thank you for teaching us the lessons of Margaret – I promise never to let anyone take a photo of my vagina.
love & kisses,
margaret! we stayed at the same hotel over mardi gras! you should have come up to my room 😉 … the same TRAINEE checked me in and had no idea what she was doing… ugh!.. anyway, love love love LOOOOVE YOU!! you rocked in sydney!
I still think you should've punched her.
A woman missed her flight at the boarding gate HKIA – FULL 7min version – where watch????

Polanco extends hitting streak to 11 games
Outfielder extends career-starting stretch on infield single in seventh
By Tom Singer / MLB.com
CHICAGO -- After Gregory Polanco's first week with the Pirates, Las Vegas books established him as the overwhelming favorite to win the National League Rookie of the Year race.
What race?
Polanco extended his career-starting hitting streak to 11 games with an infield single off Cubs right-handed reliever Justin Grimm in the seventh inning Saturday night.
Just to make it more interesting, Polanco was initially called out on shortstop Starlin Castro's throw by first base umpire James Hoye. Manager Clint Hurdle successfully challenged the call.
"It was a hard ground ball," Castro said, helplessly. "That's the only thing that I can do. That guy can run, he hustled out of the box. It's a tough play."
"He's got speed, and is smart with it," Hurdle said. "The reason he was able to be safe is, he got out of the box and got down the line. There was no stop; he finished the play hard through the bag."
That hit improved Polanco's ledger to .365 (19-for-52) with a homer and seven RBIs, besides the 10 runs he has scored in the 11 games.
Compare that start to the season's first 11 games of those of the NL's other three leading Rookie of The Year Award contenders:
• Billy Hamilton, Reds: .154 (6-for-39), one RBI, three runs.
• Tommy La Stella, Braves: .368 (14-for-38), four RBIs, three runs.
• Chris Owings, Diamondbacks: .297 (11-for-37), zero RBIs, four runs.
Why draw comparisons among the initial 11 games? After an adjustment period, it is not unusual for young players to settle in and for real talent to emerge. For instance, Hamilton has become a versatile producer for the Reds, with a current average of .275.
So, yes -- Polanco may still be warming up.
No one in the National League has begun his career with a comparable hitting streak since 2000 when Colorado's Juan Pierre started out with a 16-game streak (amid a total of 18 game appearances, entering two others only on defense).
Pierre's batting coach with the Rockies? Clint Hurdle.

Q: What would have happened without the Clean Air Act?
Today, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. In her testimony the Administrator highlighted the agency's ongoing efforts to develop sensible standards that update the Clean Air Act, while ensuring that the landmark law continues to provide Americans the protections from dangerous pollution that they deserve. These reasonable steps will ensure that the air our children breathe and the water they drink is safe, while also providing certainty to American businesses.
Despite these pragmatic steps to implement long overdue updates, big polluters are trying to gut the Clean Air Act by asking Congress to carve out special loopholes from air pollution standards.
The Clean Air Act gives the Environmental Protection Agency the necessary tools to protect our families from a number of harmful pollutants that can cause asthma and lung disease – especially in children. Weakening these standards would allow more pollution in the air we breathe and threaten our children's health. We thought it might be helpful to refresh everyone on how this landmark law affects our country and protects our health.
160,000 Lives Saved Last Year. In the year 2010 alone, clean air regulations are estimated to have saved over 160,000 lives.
More than 100,000 Hospital Visits Avoided Last Year. In 2010, clean air standards prevented millions of cases of respiratory problems, including bronchitis and asthma. It enhanced productivity by preventing millions of lost workdays, and kept kids healthy and in school, avoiding millions of lost school days due to respiratory illness and other diseases caused or exacerbated by air pollution.

Sigh. I am sorry, my fellow American skate fans, but despite the exit of Comcast takeover (with the expected belt-tightening) and the long overdue firing of NBC sports honcho Dick Ebersol, the last place network somehow scrounged up enough cash to bid for the next 4 Olympics. We can look forward to most competitors being skipped from the tape-delayed broadcast and Sandra Bezic's paradoxically shrill yet monotonous commentary. Truly, a tragic day.
I saw this news on a gymnastics forum earlier today. I expect terrible commentary on both sports for the next ten years. Sad, sad, sad. How I miss Dick Button's commentary.
If NBC is to do the Sochi Olys, watch for America's Sweetheart Vonn, get the hype as she sails down the slopes, and further, at what time will we see Senior Ladies figure skating on TV? Isn't it a 9 hour difference between Russia and NYC? Maybe Sochi is 10 hours. I do not think Russia will bend their schedules for Americans.
As long as NBC can post raw footage of all the figure skating programs and gymnastics routines, I'm happy. I don't bother watching the broadcast version until after I see the raw footage.
Their coverage of Beijing 2008 was ok, great online coverage but too much Phelps/oversaturation of fluff/tape delays on TV.
However, I was very disappointed w/their Vancouver 2010 coverage. They could have done so much better given that it was IN THE SAME TIME ZONE as the (west coast of the) US!
For that reason, I was hoping for another network to get them (would be nice to get a different perspective as well)- but the promise of live coverage is a good thing. Let's hope they stick to it.

INTERPOL supported operation targeting organized crime in South East Europe leads to heroin seizure and arrests
The first joint operation co-ordinated under INTERPOL project BESA targeting organized crime groups in South East Europe has resulted in the arrest of five men and the seizure of more than six kilos of heroin by police in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
The arrests in Strumica on Saturday 27 March follow close co-operation between police in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria which had identified different organized crime gangs from at least three countries as being involved in transporting the drugs.
INTERPOL's Project BESA, supported by the South Eastern Europe Chief of Police Association (SEPCA) provides analytical and investigative support to member countries and facilitates information sharing to support operational activities. Using INTERPOL's global tools, Project BESA facilitates information sharing and co-ordination of operational activities for the subsequent collection and analysis of criminal information.
Participating member countries in the project BESA are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro and Serbia.

Toxic megacolon is a life-threatening complication of other intestinal conditions. It causes widening (dilation) of the large intestine within 1 to a few days.
Toxic dilation of the colon; Megarectum
Toxic megacolon occurs as a complication of inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, and infections of the colon. The term "toxic" means that this complication occurs with infection or inflammation and is very dangerous.
This is not the same as other forms of megacolon, such as pseudo-obstruction, acute colonic ileus, or congenital colonic dilation. These conditions occur without infection or inflammation.
The rapid widening of the colon may cause the following symptoms:
The rapid widening (dilation) of the colon makes this different from other conditions, such as chronic constipation, that can widen the colon slowly and do not cause sudden, life-threatening symptoms.
A physical exam may reveal signs of septic shock. The doctor will notice tenderness in the abdomen and possible loss of bowel sounds.
You will get fluids and electrolytes to help prevent dehydration and shock. The process that leads to megacolon can be treated. However, this is usually not enough to reverse the megacolon.
If rapid widening is allowed to continue, an opening (perforation) can form in the colon. Therefore, most cases of toxic megacolon will need surgery, such as colectomy (removal of the entire colon).
You may receive antibiotics to prevent sepsis (a severe infection).
If the condition does not improve, it can be life-threatening. In this case, a colectomy is usually needed.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you develop severe abdominal pain -- especially if you also have:
Treating diseases that cause toxic megacolon, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, can prevent this condition.

Dead Batteries
By Winston the Gardner
from Seattle WA
I ordered 7 sets of lights, two sets are these border lights. 1 of the sets of border lights didn't work until I took it apart and recharged the 3 batteries. The other 5 sets (not reviewed here) did not work either.

These solar lights are the best yet.
By Nightowl
from Hutchinson Kansas
Sometimes you want to light an area too far from an outlet. These lights stay bright all night long. They are the brightest solar lights out there. We gave a set as a gift and they love them too. Strap them on your body and go for a walk at night!
LED Solar Border Lights
By Linda the gardener
from Highland County, VA
We strung two of these light kits together along a path from our garage to our kitchen side door which is nearest to our garage. We live in a rural area and have no light at all at night except outside our garage. For anyone arriving after dark these now light the path up to our door. They were very easy to install and are super bright all night until daylight arrives. Before installing these it was very difficult to even see the path and steps up to our door, so these have made a big difference. So far there are no negatives with them although I presume in winter weather they will have to be brought inside.
Love these!
By Debbie in VA
from Locust Grove, VA
Love these lights! I bought 2 sets and installed them on either side of the walk leading to our vacation house. I was a bit worried that there wouldn't be enough sun to charge them as this is a very shady spot. Love the length of the cord on the solar panel. I was able to place the panels in a spot that is sunny. I was very pleasantly surprised to find the lights still on early in the morning!
I would buy more of these

By Northwest gardener
from Poulsbo, WA
I loved it so much I bought 4 more. I will line the other side of my driveway and try it nestled amongst my plants in the backyard.
By Rodney
from Weatherford, Texas
I originally bought them for the front walk but after receiving them my wife said to place them around the pool and they really look good. So we bought two more sets and put them around the pool and WOW.
