Our chocolate truffles are hand-rolled round chocolate balls dusted with cocoa powder or nuts and share the name with the original mushroom truffles only because they look the same (and are as much of a delicacy!). Truffles were traditionally hunted in European oak forests with trained pigs but now dogs are used because they dont try to eat the truffles. Be careful who you send out for these.

In California, the owner of the Beverly Hills Hotel is offering discounted rates and chocolate-covered strawberries to gay couples on their wedding night.
In Brunei, that same owner might, instead, offer them death by stoning.
The owner in question is the Sultan of Brunei, and his introduction of Sharia law to his oil-rich Southeast Asia nation isn't sitting well with Hollywood glitterati.
Heavy-hitting global tastemakers such as Richard Branson and Dreamworks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg are boycotting the 10 hotels owned by the Brunei Investment Agency's Dorchester Collection.
Other high-profile celebs like Jay Leno and Ellen Degeneres are also on board.
The most iconic of the targeted group is probably the Beverly Hills Hotel, which graced the cover of the Eagles' "Hotel California" and served as a boozy escape for Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, to name just a couple Tinsel Town regulars.
The boycott is starting to pinch, if just a little bit.
Christopher Cowdray, the CEO of Dorchester Collection, told CNBC in an interview on Wednesday that there has been about $1.5 million in cancellations at the hotel so far. But he shrugged it off with some of that executive bravado: "We can weather the storm," he said. "We're very, very much larger than that."
Nothing condemning the treatment of gay people in Brunei. Not even some of that waffling or hesitation we've come to expect from executives navigating thorny issues.
Straight up, business is business. Besides, everybody's doing it.
"If you take the global perspective of this city, we're not the only hotel or establishment or business that is owned by a country which has Sharia laws," Cowdray said. "There's so many hotels, banks and other organizations that have connections to countries which have this type of law."
Then again, the deep-pocketed Sultan isn't really the one who will feel the pain. Between the Beverly Hills Hotel and the Bel-Air Hotel, some $90 million a year is brought into the Los Angeles area, according to Dorchester figures.

cleantech necessitava di un nuovo design di logo e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 30 design presentati da 12 designer.
Last Mile Pte Ltd is seeking to launch a new product, an electric kick-scooter, internationally. The logo should be reflective of the brand values.
The primary target customer for the KAIBOARD is a business commuter who is lifestyle-oriented, gadget-loving (but not geeky), is time and cost conscious, and is looking for a convenient solution to travel short distances. These business professionals are primarily in the age group of 25-40 years and belong to the mid-to-high income group. Secondary target customers are university students in the age group of 16-25 years, looking for a convenient way to commute short distances.
Customers are probably more likely to be male than female.
We require a logo for the KAIBOARD. We also need another 2 variations - against black background, and a black and white version of the logo.
We prefer to include the Chinese character "开" somewhere in the design. It should not have too many tiny details in the logo, because there are plans to produce embroidered tees, caps etc and the logo should also be scalable from smaller to larger sizes. Another element that we suggest you think about is the carbon fibre weave, which is the material that is used to make the product. Do see file attached.
As an end-consumer product, we need a logo that is instantly identifiable and for immediate brand recognition. The logo will also be used on labeling, advertising, promotional materials, merchandise etc. Hence, the graphic (for example: 开) should be able to be used independently of the name as a standalone corporate/product logo.
Logo values: Bearing in mind the characteristics of the target audience, the key values of this logo should be lifestyle-oriented, modern, clean, sleek, masculine and hip (trendy). Similarly, the logo should not be too cluttered, cute, youthful, funky, macho.
Colours: Orange (pantone shade – Pantone 165c or #FF6600), black and white.
Looking forward to receiving all the fantastic designs and we will try our best to be responsive in providing feedback. Thanks!

This week has been mostly IM and stroke base endurance swimming with quality 25s and 50s. Some of the highlights were a 17.6/25 BR, 14.3/25 BK, 12.8/25 Fly, and 12.2 FR all from a wall push. The times were from coach Chuck's watch in a 50 LCM pool, so most likely not that accurate. But I did get a good set of quality 50s in FR yesterday doing 3(4x50 FR, EZ 100 BK) on HR rest at 85%-95% 1-4 doing 33-31-31-30, 32-31-31-30, 32-30-31-29. Finally I was able to see my doctor today for the annual checkup, and all is well, the only problem I have is that I am getting older! I guess it is a good sign to not be taking any prescription medications at age 57. For my birthday yesterday I made my kids some of their favorite menu items for dinner, Beef Chow Fun and Chocolate Cupcakes with vanilla ice cream inside.

Andy Murray reached the quarter-final of the Aegon Championships at Queens after wins over Nicolas Mahut and Marinko Matosevic.
The Brit, who is returning from a back injury that put him out of the French Open, completed a rain-interrupted 6-3 7-6 (7-4) victory over Mahut before easing past Matosevic 6-2 6-2.
He will now face Germany's Benjamin Becker in the quarter-final later today.
Murray began his match against Mahut on Wednesday but with the scores at 6-3 2-2 (15-0) the rain meant that he would have to wait until Thursday to finish it off.
It took him just 42 minutes to complete the job he had already started against the man who had beaten him at the same stage of the tournament last year.
He had to survive three break points before being 4-3 down in the tie break. He recovered well though and finished Mahut off with a brilliant cross-court backhand.
Three hours later Murray was back on Centre Court to face world number 65 Matosevic from Australia.
The conditions were blustery but Murray took the first set in 25 minutes and took a similar time to dispatch win the second.
Murray was happy with display but admits playing in the conditions weren't easy.
"It was good," Murray told BBC Sport. "This afternoon was tricky, it was extremely windy. I had to be patient and not play high-risk tennis too closely to the lines.
"I have been moving fairly well in the first couple of matches and hopefully that will get better.
"They were two very different matches - the second was more baseline while Mahut played more closely to the net.
"Hopefully the wind calms down a bit tomorrow and we will see more good tennis."
Murray is now the only British representative after Juan Martin del Potro dispatched Dan Evans in straight sets in just 55 minutes.

The folks over at The Noble Fir are quickly becoming the best place to grab a pint in Ballard. Unfortunately, everyone knows that now! The Noble Fir is now serving up a full house most nights.
When we did our preview back in May and our 52 Weeks review back in July, it was still pretty easy to grab a chair. But, we were shut out twice last weekend. Everyone wants in on the good brew.
A few months back, we talked about "Pints for Parks." The event has the Fir donating $1 of every pint poured from 6:30 until close, on Wednesdays, to Seattle Parks. Over the past few months, they have managed to pour 2000 pints, donating $2000.00 to the parks.
The Fir west big again this week. Oscar Blue's Gubna Imperial IPA is one of the most rugged on the market, and it was the featured beer yesterday. A love for that same beer, caused an epic rift between myself and another bar that shares Ballard Avenue with the Fir. Because that bar charged me $8.00 (its $3.00 next door at Olde Town Alehouse) for this 12oz can, it will forever not see another dollar from me. I won't mention them because they don't deserve the press.
But, you can hope that the Fir will continue pouring this delicious brew through the rest of the week. If you still have not had a chance to get by the Fir — now is your chance! Remember that next Wednesday means another great beer.
Keep up the great work for Seattle Parks!!!

New Zeus Variant Targets Facebook and Google Users
Tempting Targets
Facebook Credits let users purchase virtual and digital goods within Facebook games and apps. Facebook touts many benefits of the credit system, calling it "a safe and secure way to make payments online" and pointing out that you can use credits even when you're on a mobile device. Users can purchase credits using a credit card, PayPal, or a number of other payment options.
Google Checkout is the facet of Google Wallet designed for online shopping. It stores payment credentials and eases the process of making online purchases from merchants who support it. Naturally you can use it to make purchases from the Google Play online store.
Zeus's Trickery
Canny users will avoid clicking links in email messages with titles like "Earn up to 20 percent cash back purchasing Facebook Credits with your MasterCard or Visa debit card" or "Link your debit card right now with your Google Mail account to pay simply and securely at more than 3,000 stores online." Those actually interested in such an offer will log in to the corresponding site rather than clicking suspect links.
That's where Zeus's trickery comes in. It presents a totally clean login page, waits until after the user logs in, and then inserts its message on a fraudulent page that it fully controls. The page looks totally real, personalized with the victim's information. But the credit card information and other personal details go to the cybercrooks, not to Facebook or Google. Click the image below to see what these screens look like.
Zeus is a multi-talented malware threat. ThreatMetrix researchers have found variants that target financial institutions, major department stores, and online payment processors, all using clever trickery to lull the victim's suspicions. You can view the full Zeus report here.
Your good email habits won't help you avoid a Zeus attack. Once it has infected your PC, it's in control, so you need to make sure it never reaches that point by installing an effective antivirus utility and keeping it up to date.

Chapter 2
Treats of Oliver Twist's growth, education, and board.
For the next eight or ten months, Oliver was the victim of a systematic course of treachery and deception. He was brought up by hand. The hungry and destitute situation of the infant orphan was duly reported by the workhouse authorities to the parish authorities. The parish authorities inquired with dignity of the workhouse authorities, whether there was no female then domiciled in the house who was in a situation to impart to Oliver Twist, the consolation and nourishment of which he stood in need. The workhouse authorities replied with humility, that there was not. Upon this, the parish authorities magnanimously and humanely resolved, that Oliver should be farmed, or, in other words, that he should be despatched to a branch-workhouse some three miles off, where twenty or thirty other juvenile offenders against the poor-laws, rolled about the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing, under the parental superintendence of an elderly female, who received the culprits at and for the consideration of sevenpence-halfpenny per small head per week. Sevenpence-halfpenny's worth per week is a good round diet for a child; a great deal may be got for sevenpence-halfpenny, quite enough to overload its stomach, and make it uncomfortable. The elderly female was a woman of wisdom and experience; she knew what was good for children; and she had a very accurate perception of what was good for herself. So, she appropriated the greater part of the weekly stipend to her own use, and consigned the rising parochial generation to even a shorter allowance than was originally provided for them. Thereby finding in the lowest depth a deeper still; and proving herself a very great experimental philosopher.
Everybody knows the story of another experimental philosopher who had a great theory about a horse being able to live without eating, and who demonstrated it so well, that he got his own horse down to a straw a day, and would unquestionably have rendered him a very spirited and rampacious animal on nothing at all, if he had not died, four-and-twenty hours before he was to have had his first comfortable bait of air. Unfortunately for the experimental philosophy of the female to whose protecting care Oliver Twist was delivered over, a similar result usually attended the operation of her system; for at the very moment when a child had contrived to exist upon the smallest possible portion of the weakest possible food, it did perversely happen in eight and a half cases out of ten, either that it sickened from want and cold, or fell into the fire from neglect, or got half-smothered by accident; in any one of which cases, the miserable little being was usually summoned into another world, and there gathered to the fathers it had never known in this.
Occasionally, when there was some more than usually interesting inquest upon a parish child who had been overlooked in turning up a bedstead, or inadvertently scalded to death when there happened to be a washing though the latter accident was very scarce, anything approaching to a washing being of rare occurrence in the farm the jury would take it into their heads to ask troublesome questions, or the parishioners would rebelliously affix their signatures to a remonstrance. But these impertinences were speedily checked by the evidence of the surgeon, and the testimony of the beadle; the former of whom had always opened the body and found nothing inside (which was very probable indeed), and the latter of whom invariably swore whatever the parish wanted; which was very self-devotional. Besides, the board made periodical pilgrimages to the farm, and always sent the beadle the day before, to say they were going. The children were neat and clean to behold, when they went; and what more would the people have!
It cannot be expected that this system of farming would produce any very extraordinary or luxuriant crop. Oliver Twist's ninth birth-day found him a pale thin child, somewhat diminutive in stature, and decidedly small in circumference. But nature or inheritance had implanted a good sturdy spirit in Oliver's breast. It had had plenty of room to expand, thanks to the spare diet of the establishment; and perhaps to this circumstance may be attributed his having any ninth birth-day at all. Be this as it may, however, it was his ninth birth-day; and he was keeping it in the coal-cellar with a select party of two other young gentlemen, who, after participating with him in a sound thrashing, had been locked up for atrociously presuming to be hungry, when Mrs. Mann, the good lady of the house, was unexpectedly startled by the apparition of Mr. Bumble, the beadle, striving to undo the wicket of the garden-gate.

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. -- On a day where skies turned dark in the middle of the afternoon and Barry coach George Samuel was walking around with hints of uncertainty during doubles, his No. 4 men's tennis team delivered, turning the lights out on No. 9 Augusta State, 8-1, Tuesday at Buccaneer Tennis Center.
Barry (7-0) responded from a lackluster doubles performance in which the Bucs dropped one match and were formidably challenged in another to win all six singles matches in straight sets.
Kevin Sielmann and Eduardo Alfonzo cruised to an 8-1 No. 3 doubles win over Kenneth Guy Mooney and Maxime Coulomb, 8-1, to give the Buccaneers their first point. But Max Wimmer and Leo Vivas had to fight through a stern test from 11th-ranked Victor Cabellos and Victor Guimaraes before finally securing an 8-6 win at the No. 1 flight.
Augusta State's Jan Labas and Romain Brunie defeated Romain Costamagna and Ollie Lemaitre, 8-3, at No. 2 pairs.
Seventh-ranked Marco Mokrzycki delivered the Buccaneers first singles win, bouncing back from his first defeat of the season on Sunday to a ranked opponent, beating Cabellos, 6-2, 6-3, at No. 1.
Alfonzo, an impressive freshman walk-on, remained unbeaten following his 6-1, 6-0 victory over Gustav Anderson at No. 6 singles. Costamagna was equally in control in a 6-0, 6-1 win over Guimaraes at No. 3 to give Barry its match-clinching fifth point.
"I played really good. I'm motivated," Costamagna said. "I want to play well, with confidence, and be ready for the rest of the season."
Sielmann used his power game, blending some crafty forehand shots all over the court to beat Gustavo D'Ascenzi, 6-3, 6-4, at No. 5. Vivas beat Brunie, 6-3, 6-4, in an up-and-down battle at No. 4. He led 3-1 in the second set before Brunie rallied to win the next three games to take a 4-3 second-set lead. But Vivas ripped off the last three games to clinch the match.
Renato Lombardi fought through some adversity in the most competitive singles match, pulling out a 7-5, 7-5 win over Labas at No. 2.
The Buccaneers leave Thursday for Valdosta, Ga., for three matches, beginning with Friday's tilt against No. 2 West Florida. The Argonauts beat Barry, 5-4, last year on the Bucs' home courts.
"We want (some) revenge," Costamagna said. "We have a good team this year. It's our first big match, so we want to show them that we are really ready, and to be all together and play to win."

Q. What is DependaBill? A. DependaBill is the only predetermined, totally guaranteed natural gas bill that completely eliminates the effects of changing weather and fluctuating natural gas prices. You'll pay the same amount for your natural gas service every month for 12-months. There is no interim adjustment or end-of-year reconciliation unless you are on the program for considerably more or less than one year.
Q. Why is NIPSCO offering DependaBill? A. NIPSCO offers this program as a service option to customers to eliminate fluctuations in monthly gas bills. DependaBill is designed for customers who want or need to know exactly what their natural gas bill will be month after month. This product should only be purchased by customers who are interested in a fixed monthly bill with no year-end true-up and who are willing to pay a fee for that feature.
Q. How is DependaBill different from the BudgetPlan? A. The BudgetPlan is adjusted periodically to reflect your actual usage and increases in natural gas prices. Also, you have to settle up your actual bill amount yearly. DependaBill protects you from natural gas price and weather changes and guarantees you'll pay the same fixed amount with NO adjustments due to usage or gas prices, as long as you use energy as you have in the past.
Q. What if I'm currently on the BudgetPlan but would like to enroll in the DependaBill program? A. If you choose to remain on the BudgetPlan when you enroll in DependaBill, your existing gas BudgetPlan account will be reviewed to determine the present balance. For your convenience, your gas BudgetPlan shortfall or credit will be averaged over the remaining months of the BudgetPlan year. This amount along with your DependaBill quote plus tax will result in your new monthly BudgetPlan payment. Your enrollment in the DependaBill program does not affect the electric portion of your NIPSCO bill. You will remain on the BudgetPlan for your electric usage as well
A. If you decide DependaBill is not right for you, call 1-800-448-2026, 8am-4:30pm, Monday-Friday, within 10 days of your enrollment. If you cancel after the 10-day period, early termination fees will apply. These fees include a charge of $10 per month for each month remaining in the program year, a $30 charge to cover administrative costs associated with
termination of the contract plus a cash-out amount. The total cost to terminate the DependaBill contract will never exceed 40% of the annual DependaBill amount. For details on how termination fees are calculated, please see the terms and conditions.
Q. Will I save money if I enroll in DependaBill?
A. DependaBill offers price and weather certainty and guarantees a fixed monthly bill with no year-end balance. It does not guarantee savings.
Q. How do I sign up for DependaBill?
A. To request a personal DependaBill quote, or to enroll in DependaBill, call us toll free at 1-800-448-2026.

Watch out Microsoft and Dell, Apple is coming after your bread and butter.
The iPhone and iPad maker is pushing into the business market, putting pressure on those hardware and software companies that have long relied on corporate clients for profits.
"Apple is moving into the enterprise in a dramatic way, mostly with iPhones and iPads. It's not dominating in computers yet, but it's certainly growing," said Ted Schadler, a Forrester analyst.
(Read more: How bad, outdated technology is costing companies)
The tech giant is doing everything from lowering the cost of its devices and giving away its software for free to ramping up security features to woo enterprise customers. And its efforts are working, analysts say.
In fact, Apple has already expanded its presence in businesses significantly in recent years. In North America, 18 percent of employees said they use an Apple device for work, according to Forrester data. Just a few years ago, that number was more in the 3 percent range, Schadler said.
The biggest force driving Apple into the workforce is simply because consumers want it there.
"It is the pull of the consumer, or the employee, who is helping Apple grow traction, both in mobile and in laptops," said Trip Chowdhry, an analyst at Global Equities Research. "Apple products are fundamentally built for ease and it has a user-centric interface. Microsoft does not. Employees feel more productive using Apple products, forcing IT managers to bring it in."
While consumer adoption no doubt got Apple's foot in the enterprise door, the company now appears to be trying to expand its business clients in a more proactive manner.
