The room was clean, very comfortable, and well-supplied.
Wireless internet was out for the night and was not back on until mid-morning. The breakfast area was cramped as it was a busy weekend and things got messy quickly. There was a bit of noise from people outside my room in the hallway late in the evening.

The cleanliness of the property and consideration of the staff. The breakfast was nice and the guest were of an orientation of pleasant.
Pricing...but the price is worth every penny; however, I am in a transitional stage and can't afford to stay at this location for a 14-30 day period (not Marriott's issue but mine, but having been at this location my expectations are very high).

Oklahoma City high school students catch up with night courses
"If it involves graduation," Gray said, "you've got to do it. ... If you give up, you give up on your whole career."
Shayna Bruner is taking the first semester of government. She transferred from Putnam City Schools for her last semester of high school and is missing the class. She wasn't too happy about coming to Douglass. She'd heard bad things.
"Now that I'm here, it's not as bad as others are saying," Bruner said. "People say that Douglass is such a big and bad school. It's not."
Bruner hopes to study biology or other science at UCO.
Volunteers ready
to help situation
Students have been positive and flexible, said Joyce Henderson, an academic consultant and former administrator. Discipline has improved.
Henderson, who has been retired for six years, works three days a week at the school. Her contract ends Jan. 31.
The community has responded strongly to the cry for help, Henderson said. A dossier of volunteers and donors has been created.
"Accolades to the community and mentors who have stretched out their arms to the Douglass family," Henderson said. "We sincerely appreciate everything they have done."
So many individuals and businesses have reached out that Henderson hasn't been able to contact them all. She's in the process of pairing students with community mentors before she leaves at the end of the month.
"We know everything isn't perfect," Henderson said. "But you can inhale and exhale and know it's getting better."

Mint 3 Musketeers Bites
With Mars newest product, their Mint 3 Musketeers Bites, morselization of all of the classic Mars candy bars is complete.
The new bite sized version of the Mint 3 Musketeers is dark chocolate and features a minty nougat center. The Mint 3 Musketeers Bars were introduced in 2007, and though it's not the powerhouse that Twix or Milky Way represent for Mars, it still fits neatly into the candy bar selection from Mars in a unique way. The regular 3 Musketeers bar only got the mini treatment earlier this year.
The dark chocolate covered mint nougats are about 3/4 of an inch square, a little shorter than that. The sharing size package holds two servings, which seems like a lot, considering the fluffy nature of the pieces. (Even if you went on a binge and ate the whole bag, it would only be 360 calories.)
The pieces are easy to bite. The nougat is soft and airy, the chocolate is thin but doesn't flake off easily. The nougat is almost marshmallowy, it's fluffy but doesn't quite have that latexy bounce. Instead the peppermint flavor and smooth dissolve gives it all a fresh feeling.
I liked them. I didn't feel the need to overeat or stuff myself. Each piece was nicely sized, the proportion between nougat and chocolate was balanced. I'd probably buy these again ... I'm not sure how they stack up to the York Minis, which are a little denser, but also have their pleasing textural qualities. I'd say I'm just as likely to eat those, although I think the York Minis fare better in transit to the Mint 3 Musketeers Bites.
3 Musketeers items contain dairy, soy and eggs and may also have traces of peanuts. There's no statement about gluten on the package or about the sourcing of the cocoa.

PUR Sugarless Gum - Coolmint & Cinnamon
I'm a bit of a picky chewer, when it comes to gum. Part of it may be that I'm just such a minority in my tastes that it's not profitable to make the kind of gum I might like.
I mostly chew gum made with sugar, not because I necessarily want sugar in my gum, but because it's so hard to find sugar free gum that's not made with artificial sweeteners like aspartame (NutraSweet), sucralose (Splenda), acesulfame potassium (AceK) and saccharine. It's very rare to find a gum like the PUR line that is sugarless but also made only with xylitol, which is a sugar alcohol. Xylitol has been around for years and is often used in sugar free mints and gums, though usually in combination with artificial sweeteners. It has a light ans sweet note to it, but like most sugar alcohols, it also has an odd cooling effect on the tongue (which is usually a desirable feature for mints).
The PUR Gum is is gluten free, nut free, dairy free, vegan and free of GMO ingredients. I've tried the other flavors that were introduced when the gum line launched about three years ago: Peppermint, Spearmint and Pomegranate Mint. I liked them quite a bit, though they're not easy to find.
The pieces are simple chiclets, rounded rectangular pieces, a little rustic and uneven, measuring about 3/4 of an inch long and about 1/3 of an inch wide. A serving, for me, is two pieces. (With actual Chiclets it's usually 3 pieces at a time.)
The chew is very soft at first, with a very cool note on top and a strong sweetness before the other flavors kick in. The sweetness is not the same as sugar, it's less round, cool on the tongue and rather slippery.
The flavor is very odd. At first it was a bit on the wintergreen side, which some people find medicinal ... or repulsive. There are other notes to it, a little hint of eucalyptus and then another more balsam note, it reminded me of mastic, which is a resin that's also used a chewing gum in the Mediterranean. (If you've never had mastic, it's also similar in its flavor profile to tea tree oil, which is not meant to be eaten but is found in many natural personal care products.)
The wintergreen notes dissolve away and all that seemed to be left was that sort of resin note with a hint of something like jasmine tea. It's pleasant, at least for me and did definitely freshen my mouth after eating some curry for lunch.
Cinnamon is predictable and comforting. It's woodsy and a little on the clove side of spicy, but has a wonderful warming hotness to it. The intense and rounded flavors dissipate pretty quickly, but the lingering flavor is just sweet and with the lightest tough of cinnamon.
There's no weird bitter note, either, which I think is often caused by artificial colors. There are no colors here, so it's all about the gum flavor. The xylitol sweetness lasts for a while, I'd say the pieces are satisfying for about 15 minutes. After I tossed the gum, I still had that lingering warmth of the cinnamon for at least a half an hour. It definitely cut through coffee breath.
I'd probably still stick with the Peppermint (from the original review) for a gum to keep in my desk, but for travel, I think I would go with the Coolmint because I really felt like chewing the pieces longer than the other flavors. It's a little expensive and the packaging takes up a lot of space for such a small amount of gum. (I might like it if the blister pack was scored so I could just tear off a few of them to keep them in my little case that I take on airplanes.)
The gum is not easy to find, and not cheap. I've seen it at natural food stores and grocers, such as Sprouts and Erewhon.

Short & Sweet: Mentos
Though Mentos are a little less boring in the United States than they used to be, some of the most interesting flavors come from overseas.
I ordered a package of Mentos Tropical Rainbow from Japan (through Napa Japan, my new alternative to JBox.com).
The flavor array is interesting, you get just two of each flavor, they're all lined up with the flavors listed on the package. Of note:
Passion Fruit - it's a little bit on the metallic side. It's quite tangy and has a sort of black currant note mixed with pineapple, but still a bit of authentic passion fruit flavor.
Mango - less peachy than some others I've had, but still not convincing. It lacks that pine flavor that many mangos have, it's more like a very sweet peach crossed with pineapple.
Kiwi - a cross between green apple and strawberry. Kiwi is usually more about the texture than the flavor anyway, so a fruity candy that's supposed to be a kiwi is at a disadvantage.
Other flavors included were also:
Strawberry - fresh and sweet, but less tangy than a Skittle.
Green Apple - tart without too much of the artificial note in the American green apple candies.
Grape - wonderfully round, tastes like a concord grape.
Pineapple - an incredible mix of tart and floral.
I can't see myself ordering these again, but I do like some variety in my package from time to time ... still, I think the classic Rainbow Mentos suit my flavor preferences better.
Mentos Lemon Cola (also from Japan) are just a little more tangy than the Fresh Cola Mentos that are already widely available. I like the hint of zest and more intense flavor. It would be nice to see these in a mix, perhaps Cola and Cherry, Cola and Lemon and Cola and Lime all in one cola rainbow package.
Mentos Mintensity are available in Europe and are kind of like a Mint Rainbow, except that there aren't just 2 of each flavor. Instead it's like a sliding scale of intensity. None of the flavors are new, I've had them all in other packaging forms in the past. There are 2 Air Action, 2 Strong Mint, 4 Spearmint, 6 Mint chewy candies.
Overall, the Air Action delivers a potent mix of menthol and mint. It's not so different though, from the Strong Mint, which is also sold as Xtreme Mint in Southeast Asia. Strong is, well, a chewy Altoid. It's refreshing but doesn't exactly burn. The Spearmint were very good, and just the right amount. The Mint are, well, the standard Freshmaker. If you start with them, it's a nice progression, if you end with them, they taste kind of like sugar.
If you dump the package out, it's hard to tell the pieces apart, they're all white, grey or slightly tinted blue or green, but in low light situations, you're not going to be able to tell.
My final item is that Spearmint Mentos are now available widely in the United States. The flavor has been popular in other parts of the world for years, including Australia and Europe, but not here. So it was great to see them at 7-11 recently. I've picked them up on Europe before, and tried the Xtreme Spearmint version before as well.
It reminds me of toothpaste but also has a good, fresh green tea note to it. They're light green, so they do have some coloring to them, unlike peppermint Mentos. I'd definitely pick these up regularly.
As much as I like Mentos, their freshness varies. Unlike most candies sold today, they're not sealed in plastic, but instead just wrapped up in foil. So, I do get about a third of my packages where the candies are quite hard, often brittle instead of chewy. They're still edible, but not quite as good as the fresh and chewy ones.

York Peppermint Pattie Minis
Hershey's won the The Most Innovative New Product Award at the 2014 Sweets & Snacks Expo last week for their new York Peppermint Pattie Minis.
This innovative new product innovatively reduced the size of a regular York Peppermint Pattie to the diameter of a penny. Hershey's previously used this innovative innovation to shrink the size of their Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, KitKat and Rolo. It's a stunning development in the world of confections ... duplicated only by the recent innovations by Mars (with their Bites format of Snickers, Milky Way, Simply Caramel, 3 Musketeers and Twix) and Wrigley's (Starburst Minis). The morselization world is actually quite busy and crowded.
It's not Hershey's fault that they were declared innovative (well, they probably entered the product in that category). The point is that there is an new, unwrapped version of York Peppermint Patties.
The package is simple, though it's King Size bag holding 2.5 ounces, it was still listed as 1 portion on the nutrition panel and had no front of package tally of the calories and serving. Even though it's a massive amount of candy, because it's almost all sugar, it's pretty low in calories: 260.
The pieces are really just tiny peppermint patties, a fraction of the size of the small snack sized versions, which are the preferred size for me. In the case of these, the ratios are particularly nice, as there's just slightly more consistent distribution of chocolate in each bite ... because each piece is a bite. The chocolate is quite bitter, and though it's not particularly creamy, it sets off the sweet and soft fondant well.
It's not innovative, but it is successful. The texture difference from Junior Mints is notable. Junior Mints have a runnier center, a thicker chocolate shell and a light waxy glaze that keeps it from melting right away.
Like the other sizes of York Peppermint Patties, the Minis are made in Mexico. There is no notation on the traceability of the cacao for the coating. York Peppermint Patties contain egg whites, soy and milk. There's nothing on the package about gluten or nuts/peanuts, but the AskHershey.com website specifically says that York Minis are not gluten free.

Oak Leaf Refresh Triple Mint Chewing Gum
I don't chew gum often, but when I do, I chew it a lot. It's particularly hard to find gum that's still sweetened with only sugar and not artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucarlose. I enjoy gum as a candy, which means that I chew all the sugar out of it and before the flavor has much chance to fade, I swap that piece out for a fresh one. (It's probably a style of consumption that gum companies should welcome.)
I love chiclet style gum because primarily because it's attractive, but also because it has texture to it; the crunchy shell has its own flavor and goes with the pleasing experience of chewing until the sugar is depleted. I can line up the pieces like Skittles or M&Ms on my keyboard. I got a huge sample bag of Oakleaf Refresh Triple Mint Chewing Gum from SweetWorks late last year and have been making my way through the bag. This is the kind of gum you'd find in a quarter twist vending machine, a little handful of pieces for some of the change in your pocket.
Wintergreen - these white pieces have little speckles of blue on them, some of the time. The flavor is clean and soft, with a good note of wintergreen. It's not overpowering, but definitely strong enough that others nearby may think you've been rubbing lineament into your joints. There's a little numbing tingle towards the end, as wintergreen can have that sort of effect. The flavor lasted longer than the sugar, but did taste a lot more medicinal after the sugar was gone.
Peppermint - is a nice medium blue. I don't really need this much food coloring in my gum, as the point of minty gums is to act as a bit of a digestive but mostly to freshen my breath. don't want my tongue looking blue when I'm done with it. It's fresh, it's not terribly strong but very sweet. I found it comforting but not challenging.
Spearmint is a pretty rare flavor in gum these days, so it's nice to see it here. It's green, for some reason spearmint is green and peppermint is blue (or red and white). The flavor is good, it's peppery at first and quite strong, but mellows out after chewing and mixing with the sugar.
Of the three flavors, I preferred the wintergreen, but I'm usually mindful of not smelling like wintergreen in social situations or closed spaces. So the spearmint was my go-to flavor of the variety, especially since I can get peppermint chiclets in the form of actual Chiclets that don't have blue food coloring. But since I already have these, they're being consumed.
I did find that they stuck to one filling in my teeth (just that one old amalgam, even though I have other fillings). It's hard to rationalize the large amount I have, but it works for my consumption style. It would be nice if they came in boxes like Chiclets or perhaps a tin like Altoids. The company that owns Oak Leaf, SweetWorks was recently purchased by the Swiss company called Frey which makes chocolate but also has their own line of gums, so maybe they'll start doing some more gum packaging.

Necco Sweethearts Hot Hearts and Cool Hearts
Necco has taken some heat in the past few years regarding their changes to the flavor and recipe for their iconic Sweethearts Conversation Hearts.
The idea of creating individually flavored packages if the Sweethearts seems like a great way to sort this out. Necco released to single-flavor packages this year: Necco Sweethearts Hot Hearts and Necco Sweethearts Cool Hearts. They're cinnamon and peppermint (respectively). They come in attractive mini gable boxes and for less than a dollar, I thought it was much more attractive, mature and sophisticated than the little boxes of the multi-flavor version.
The boxes are adorable, though frustrating to re-close. There's a tab on the back, but it's glued down and has nothing to tuck back into after you open it. You can slide the whole flap into the folded top, but it's a bit of a trick and not something that can be accomplished with one hand.
Though they are nothing more than paperboard boxes sealed with glue, the candies were fresh and crispy. (Not that I know exactly what a fresh Sweetheart actually is supposed to be like.)
The cinnamon flavored Hot Hearts are truly hot. I found them quite spicy and a little more nuanced than a straight burn.
The pink hearts have flirty mottoes like: Kiss Me, Wow Me, Ooh La LA and Wink Wink.
The flavor is cinnamony, it has an immediate warmth to it, but there's a note of clove and some of the other more woodsy flavors of ground cinnamon. The texture is smoother than an Altoid, but they that that same crispy texture that you can let dissolve or crunch.
I enjoyed them quite a bit, though eating a lot of them does lead to a lingering heat in the mouth.
The peppermint Cool Hearst are white with light blue-green lettering, though some of mine were blank. It's obvious why these are sold in single flavors, as they're very strong and would contaminate the flavor of anything placed in contact.
The mottoes for the Cool Hearts are also themed for the mint flavor: Chill Out, Frosty, Shivers, Icy Blast, So Fresh. There are other more puzzling ones, like an asterisk (which may be an homage to the romantic novels of Kurt Vonnegut or the Walmart logo) and the possibly insulting versions that say Got Onions? and Have a Mint.
The smooth texture and Altoid intensity was pleasant. They're were definitely minty enough to be called mints instead of candy, but the price is certainly very good for this sort of product versus something like Altoids or Breathsavers (though they're made with sugar, no artificial sweeteners like some breath mints).
I would buy either of these again, the packaging was pleasing but most of all the candy inside was surprisingly good for a Necco Sweetheart product. I feel like Necco has stumbled in their previous seasonal and pop culture tie ins (see Sweethearts Fire & Ice for Twilight) but these can definitely be called a hit.

Ghirardelli Dark and Mint
Ghirardelli Dark & Mint is part of a new line of small, single serve bars introduced by the California-based chocolate maker.
I found the bars at Walgreen's on a dedicated display for Ghirardelli just before Christmas. They also come in Milk & Caramel, but that day I had a craving for something sophisticated and not-too-sweet.
The bar is square, which echos the little pieces, but a little thicker than their usual filled confections. It's 1.3 ounces, so it's right there as a single serving (it's 170 calories) and I picked it up on sale for $1.00.
They're about 2.75 inches square, and sectioned into four pieces. Each piece is well segmented, meaning that you can snap it apart easily and the reservoir of minty fondant is completely contained.
The bar has a rich cocoa smell, it's a bit woodsy and herbal with a nice hint of fresh peppermint.
The fondant is creamy and flowing, but quite liquid. It's very sweet but has a well rounded peppermint flavor that's more like peppermint tea than straight peppermint oil. The dark chocolate isn't too intense but has a bittersweet quality that keeps the whole thing from getting too throat-searing sticky. The wrapper doesn't say what the cacao content is, but I'd put it at about 60%.
It's not a revolutionary bar, but the convenience of a single serving for just a buck is nice. I like the big 3.5 ounce bars, but I don't like the monotony of eating a whole one and it's often hard to get enough consensus in this "too many choices" world for everyone to want that chocolate bar at that moment with me. I'd like to see this line expanded. I like the Ghirardelli style much better than Dove or Hershey's at this price point, but sometimes I want a milk chocolate and crisped rice bar.

Brach's Christmas Nougats Mix
A few years back I reviewed one of the classic candies that Brach's has been making for years, their Peppermint Holiday Nougat. The Brach's style of nougat is made with egg whites, just like the European recipes have been for hundreds of years. This version is more of a chew, kind of a hybrid between a taffy and a fluffy honey-sweetened nougat from France, Italy or Spain.
The fun part about the Brach's Christmas Nougats Mix is that they come in three flavors: Cinnamon, Peppermint & Wintergreen.
These kinds of nougats are assembled, truly, by hand. Large logs of nougat are colored and flavored, then stacked together to form the image inside which creates a much larger log. That is then placed on a machine that pulls it into a smaller cord and then cuts the pieces.
I've reviewed the Peppermint version before, and find the same opinion to hold true today. It's a soft chew, very smooth with a nice pop of peppermint. The nougat makes it a short chew, meaning it's not gummy and dissolves pretty quickly without much grain. It has a bit of salt, which mellows out the bulk of the sugar.
The Cinnamon version has a pink background. The cinnamon scent is quite strong and this chew was very soft. It's a sizzling cinnamon, I was surprised at its strength, there was a bit of heat. It's a unique sort of candy, so I appreciate that it's attractive and well made.
The Wintergreen version has a light green background. As much as I'm a fan of the flavor, I can't say that this is the best use of it. Like the cinnamon, this is very strong. And like cinnamon, a lot of wintergreen at once can give a sort of warming "sports rub" sort of feeling. Wintergreen doesn't go well with many other flavors, it's not like this combines well with chocolate or wine, if you were snacking.
These make an attractive bowl of candy, though I think in the future I'd stick with either the Peppermint or the Cinnamon. Wintergreen is just to strange for a candy assortment for Christmas, but certainly something to keep in mind for that person on your list that does have a predilection for the stuff.
Note: the packaging on this predates the Ferrara and Farley's & Sathers merger (the copyright said 2012) and Brach's is planning on changing their packaging design and branding again next year. This bag was made in Mexico.

Had I known this was not really a disco, but a kiddie entertainment party, I probably would not have gone. The adult price even with the discount was not at all worth it. I have gone to many kiddie disco parties and had a great time becuase it catered to the adults as well as the kids and the idea of a disco party is more music for everyone. The music was really only the last 45 minutes of the party and the worst part was the set-up. The room was way too small and the dance floor was smaller than my living room and I live in an apartment

Objectives To investigate the relationship between intestinal atresia and fetal growth, intrapartum cardiotocograph abnormalities and staining of the amniotic fluid in gastroschisis pregnancies.
Design Observational study of 115 gastroschisis pregnancies conceived between 1980 and 1996.
Setting South West Region of England.
Main outcome measures Birthweight, intrapartum cardiotocograph abnormality, staining of amniotic fluid and Apgar score.
Results There was no statistically significant difference between the Apgar scores or the frequency of amniotic fluid staining of gastroschisis cases with or without atresia. Patent bowel gastroschisis was associated significantly with more cardiotocograph abnormalities (61%vs 26%, P= 0.026) and reduced growth (P= 0.02), when compared with cases with intestinal atresia.
Conclusions Bile vomiting may be an important cause of amniotic fluid staining. Bowel atresia protects against the increased incidence of cardiotocograph and growth abnormality found in cases of gastroschisis which may reflect their aetiology.

Numerology crazy Chinese couples rush to tie knots on 12-12-12
The triple twelve bringing in rare alignment of numbers yesterday has sent numerology crazy Lovebirds across China rush to marriage bureaus to tie the knots.
Young Chinese couples rushed to tie the knot yesterday 2/12/12 - seeking an extra dose of luck on the last symmetrical date for nearly 100 years.
Bumper numbers were reported at registry offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, causing lengthy lines and extra stress for staff members, state-run China Daily reported today.
"We got here at about 10 in the morning and were No 960 on the list," said Fan Zhijuan, as she waited with her fiance at the office in Beijing's Haidian district.
After more than three hours, they still had over 100 couples ahead of them.
An added attraction was that the date when said in Chinese sounds like "will love, will love, will love".
Fan, however, said she had chosen the special day for practical as well as romantic reasons. "It's an easy anniversary date to remember". Two of her college friends also decided to tie the knot.
"After we're done, we're going to a restaurant to celebrate," she said.
Outside the Haidian office, Yuan Bo and Gao Qiong posed in the snow as a passerby took a snapshot of them with their newly stamped marriage certificate.
"We're so lucky - we even got registered at 12 am. It was a coincidence," said Yuan, 28, an IT worker.
For Zhu Yanyan in Shanghai, the date she chose to wed her fiance could not have had more meaning: Not only had the couple been together for 12 years, but she said her English name is Twelve.
"We also wanted to get married before Dec 21, which, as legend has it, will be the end of the world," the 30-year-old joked.
According to the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau, 4,883 couples were registered for marriage yesterday, a record for the year.
