Responses to Reader Requests!
There are many wonderful people who write into Candy Blog (either via email or comments) to keep me abreast of what's going on out there in the sweet real world. As I'm mostly a hermit, these tips are invaluable and here are my follow-ups on the most recent tips:
Assorted Fruit Headline
A couple of weeks ago Lesley popped me a comment to say that my dreams of there being a mixed bag of Fruit Heads (Lemonheads, Orangeheads, Grapeheads, Cherryheads & Appleheads) have come true.
I rushed off to the 99 Cent Only Store to find it's true! I haven't opened the bag yet, but I thought I'd share my delight with everyone else. I have no idea when Ferrara Pan decided to make this mixed bag or even if it's because of that review. Yes, you can buy them separately in little boxes, but this is a much better deal.
Also, the bag is plastic, which means that the Fruit Heads are protected from the enemy of sugar candies ... humidity. (Many of you know the disappointment of a box of Lemonheads where the poor spheres are welded to the box and each other.) I should really follow up on my request for Grapefruitheads.
I give these a 9 out of 10! (Yummy)
Pop'ables Chocolate Crisps
Sandy wrote to me earlier this week to tell me that there was a malted milk ball at the Dollar Tree. Well, I don't have a Dollar Tree nearby, but as I was already at the 99 Cent Only Store searching for the Fruit Headline, I caught a huge display of these in the peg bag section: Limited Edition Pop'ables Chocolate Crisps.
I'm not sure why they call them "chocolate crisps" because they're malted milk balls and they're a pretty well known segment of the American candy pantheon. These were ridiculously good and again upset me to an insane degree because they're limited edition. The chocolate is sweet and smooth with a slight coconutty note to it. The crisp center is light and malty with only a hint of sweetness. The packaging is completely uninspired, but I suppose it doesn't matter as it is not only a limited edition item, but Mars has hinted that they're discontinuing the Pop'ables line anyway. These were made in Australia. Super-addictive ... I ate the whole bag at work yesterday.
I give these a 9 out of 10! (Yummy)
Lindt Baking 70% Cocoa Bitter-Sweet Chocolate
While I was poking around in the candy aisle at the 99 Cent Only Store, I also found this little gem: Lindt Baking 70% Cocoa Bitter-Sweet Chocolate.
I've become a recent convert to Lindt via their impulsive truffles and couldn't resist giving this "baking" bar a try to see if it rivaled their regular Lindt Excellence 70% bar that I see for three times the price at Cost Plus. At 3.5 ounces for 99 cents, it's a fabulous deal for high-quality chocolate. They also had a semi-sweet bar that didn't list the cocoa content (but sugar was the first ingredient on the list instead of chocolate).
I was worried that the bar would be past its prime, but it's glossy and dark and with a good snap. Perfectly fresh. Lindt still isn't my favorite chocolate, but at this price, it's hard to buy a Hershey bar. This bar was made in France.
I give this a 7 out of 10! (Worth It)

Hershey's Really Nuts
I'm a complete dufus sometimes. I bought these thinking that they were chocolate/cocoa almonds. I don't know what led me to believe that, seeing how they're kinda small but perhaps it's that I wanted some chocolate/cocoa almonds.
I got them at the 99 Cent Only Store, and though the package says that they're 99 cents, they were only 50 cents.
Think of them as Peanut M&Ms without the crunchy candy shell.
They have a nice texture, the peanuts were good quality, although a little uneven in size. When you pop them in your mouth, they're a little bland. The cocoa is only slightly bitter, but keeps the chocolate from melting. The chocolate was sweet but balanced well by the cocoa coating. The nuts inside tasted like dry roasted and salted peanuts, which is a completely different experience from Peanut M&Ms. The hit of salt really balances the chocolate and coconut and of course goes really well with the peanut itself.
They're not as neat and clean to eat as M&Ms and other "glazed" chocolate nuts. Leaving these sit on a piece of paper on my desk means a bit of cocoa and sometimes a little greasy spot.
As a treat, I think I'd be most likely to eat this at a movie or while watching a video. It's a large but controlled portion and the balance of salt and sweet would be pretty satisfying and of course little individual pieces makes for easy sharing.
The bag is a generous 2.5 ounces, so if you find these on sale, it's a good deal. At 99 cents it's still not bad either.

Necco Mint Julep
Here's a candy that never entered into my field of candy vision: the Mint Julep. In fact, until about a year ago, I'm not sure I knew these existed. It's not like I'm mint-blind. I guess what brought these into my realm was a new push by Necco to introduce them to new generations. That and there was a huge barrel of them at the All Candy Expo's freebie room.
Frankly, I was afraid they were going to be like Mary Janes and pull out my teeth or something. Or maybe they were going to be like mint-flavored Starbursts.
But here's what they are: they're spearmint taffy.
They were nice. Not super strong tasting, very soft and chewy and pleasant. They didn't rock my world, but I think they have a solid place in it now. They're a really satisfying little candy - larger than a Starburst and in a flavor you're not going to get anywhere else in this format. I can't see myself buying a tub of these online or anything, but I would pick up one or two after brunch or something at the local diner to clear my palate.
Mint Juleps are also known as Southies and were made by the Squirrel company that also makes Nut Zippers. They are most often sold in little tubs by the register at convenience stores and diners. (This type of retailing is called "changemakers" as people will often spend the change from their bill on little items. The tubs are placed in places where it makes sense for such an impulse buy.) They were introduced in the 30s and then disappeared back in the nineties as the company was bought out and went through some changes. Necco brought them back about a year ago.
In case you were wondering what's in the drink also called a Mint Julep, it's simple syrup with some muddled spearmint sprigs in it, then combined with Bourbon and served over ice with more mint.
Mint Juleps are gluten free according to the Necco website (and the drink probably is too!).

Back in the eighties Nabisco had a candy called Bonkers, which were fruit chews similar to Starbursts ... except they were layered. It was a fruity chew with a fruitier chewier center. If you need a reminder of what they were, watch this commercial from the eighties I found on YouTube.
I didn't know if they'd stopped making them but that's what I thought I was buying when I picked these up.
First, these are made by Joyco. Second, there are no flavor layers. Third, the flavors are all wrong. Fourth, the label says they're citrus fruits, but there's a strawberry in there and last time I checked those don't even grow on trees. Fifth, the package says there's real honey in there. Real honey? And egg whites? What the heck are these, nougats? Sixth, well, none of that matters because these were positively awful.
Most of them were very hard, but some were only kind of hard. All were rather unpleasant in a way that I'm not quite able to put my finger on.
Strawberry: slightly floral and slightly putrid tasting. A little tangy but with sort of moldy/mossy note.
Lemon: tastes like a moist and ripe citrus burp.
Orange: tangy but with a rather uneven flavor that alternates between bile and tang.
I tried several times to taste these (waiting a couple of weeks in between, thinking it was me). It's not me. They're bad. I've debated long and hard about what to give these. I sat there with the wads of half chewed Bonkers in their wrappers in front of me and a foul feeling in my stomach and it's clear I'm gonna have to give these a bad rating. (Believe me, I never set out to buy candy that I'm going to hate.) But I wanted to give them one last opportunity, so I offered them to the neighbors (and Amy always seems game for the worst of the worst but Robin conveniently reminds me when I try to get her to try things like this that she only likes chocolate). Amy spat it out on the sidewalk and then kicked it into the street. She described it as at first tasting like the plastic shelf it must have been sitting on in the store and then most decidedly vomit.
Yes, these get my first 1 out of 10. (Amy asked if there was a 0 rating.)

More Satisfying Snickers Almond?
I don't know if I would have noticed, except that the Sav-on had both the old version of the bar (sans peanuts) and the new one side by side and I was curious why the packaging was suddenly different and what made the new one "more satisfying."
So I purchased both and went off to the Candy Blog labs to do some analyses. First, the bars say they weigh the same, but when placed on the trusty postal scale the More Satisfying with Peanuts version came in at exactly 2.0 ounces and the Less Satisfying with just Almonds clocked in at 1.9 ounces. What's even more puzzling about this is that the label says that they weigh 1.76 ounces ... at least Mars is generous.
The original version shown above was easier to slice and seemed more "solid". There weren't copious amounts of almonds, but a fair amount. The bar was rather bland, as I mentioned in my review before. But there is something missing here, a toastiness, some sort of flavor.
So the big thing I noticed right away was how difficult it was to slice this bar easily. It was kind of mucky ... not melted or anything, just not as structural. I think there may be more caramel now. Instead of just going back to a better tasting nougat, the Mars folks created the hybrid Snickers/Mars Frankenbar. It's a Mars bar that tastes like a Snickers. Really, why buy this? It doesn't taste like almonds ... if anything, it's just a Snickers bar that's a little smaller.
As a touchstone I went out and bought/consumed a standard Snickers bar. It really tasted no different except the Snickers Almond was a little crunchier because almonds are bigger than peanuts.
This got me to thinking about the ingredients, so here's a run down of the top contents of the Less Satisfying Snickers Almond, More Satisfying Snickers Almond and the Satisfying Snickers (Peanut):
LS Snickers Almond…...MS Snickers Almond…..Plain Old Snickers
But let's go back to that statement on the new Snickers Almond bar ... what exactly makes satisfaction?
Less Satisfying Snickers Almond: 230 Calories & 1.76 ounces (that's 131 calories per ounce)
Could satisfaction be another word for caloric density?
While I find the More Satisfying Snickers Almond a little more tasty than before, its resemblance to the classic Snickers Peanut makes it superfluous. There are so few almond choices out there, why take this one away? I'm giving the Now More Satisfying Snickers Almond bar the same rating I gave the original.
(I'm also a little miffed that I consumed about 750 calories for this one review! I just hope none of them contained mouse droppings.)
Note: I looked at the Snickers website and they still list the old ingredients for the Snickers Almond bar.
UPDATE 9/2/2008: Well, the old new Snickers Almond is back. Here's a brief revisit with the bar:
I like the bar (though I prefer the dark chocolate version) and I'm glad they brought it back.

Goodbye Reed's
There once was a company that made boiled sweets (hard candies) in Chicago. Founded in 1893, The Reed Candy Company used copper kettles to boil sugar and corn syrup and other things together to create flavorful treats. In 1931 they started making their most famous product, the Reeds' Butterscotch candy roll. Later they added more flavors including Cinnamon, Root Beer and Butter Toffee.
At some point in their history The Reed Candy Company was bought out by another Chicago area based sweets company, Amurol Confections (known for their novelty gums like Big League Chew and Bubble Tape) ... and they in turn were bought by Wrigley's (also based in Chicago). The larger distribution chain should have helped, but I still rarely saw them at drug stores or groceries. I usually saw them at newsstands. Reeds continued to be made with startling consistency from the taste and packaging I remember from my childhood.
For those who have never had them, Reed's are kind of like Lifesavers, except there's no hole in the middle, just a slight dent. They're individually wrapped, which makes for extra-sanitary sharing as well as the ability to pop out the individual candies and put them in your pocket for later (try that with a Lifesaver!). They come with eight little pieces in a roll. But what was really extraordinary about them was the incredible amount of flavor packed into such a small candy. Part of this was the exceptional texture - these were high-quality boiled sugar sweets that had very few voids or holes so they were extra smooth on the tongue and dissolved well.
The Butterscotch ones used real butter and had a nice hit of salt to them. Though I'm sure the recipes changed over the years (going with artificial flavors and whatnot) they were still much more flavorful than many other candies.
Cinnamon was not for the faint of heart. The little dented red disk had a smooth and soft mouthfeel at first and then exploded with a very strong cinnamon flavor that could rival an Atomic Fireball. It was like the flavor popped and sparkled with itty-bitty reservoirs.
Other roll candies and mints came in cinnamon and butterscotch but no one else made a Root Beer candy. Soft and spicy with a complex flavor that just made you want to roll the little candy over and over in your mouth. Reed's Root Beer were my go to roll candy - they had the satisfying freshness of a mint and the tingly "activate those salivary glands" stimulation of a fruit sour.
They were always a 10 in my book. But I guess I ignored them and now they're gone. Back in April they told their distributors that they weren't going to be making them anymore and the supply was cut off. There are still a few places you can find a reserves on the web (and happily these hard candies are pretty durable when stored correctly):
I got my last rolls at Powell's in Windsor, CA but they said that they will not ship nor sell whole boxes at any discount.
UPDATE: Reed's are coming back. Iconic Candy of New York is working on their final formulations and packaging design and hope to have Reed's back on store shelves in a limited number of flavors by the end of the year.
You can see the preview of their new candy revivals here. They're also working on Regal Crown Sours and Bar None.

Miette Patisserie
Part of the reason for the stop in San Francisco on my recent vacation was to experience the Ferry Terminal Marketplace. It's home to a bunch of artisan food companies, restaurants and other people associated with the food crafts. Plus, on Saturdays there's a farmers market.
There are a couple of sweets locations in the Ferry Terminal including a Scharffen Berger store and Recchiuti Confections but for this trip (I'll be going back again in September) I thought I'd look at Miette Patisserie.
The store is drop dead cute and reminds me of a forties/fifties-era cookbook. They had a huge selection of cakes and hand-held pastries. But I was interested in candies, of course. There was a large display of handmade lollipops which looked gorgeous and came in sassy flavors like cotton candy, grape and pink lemonade. None of the flavors were marked and the colors weren't enough for me to discern the code so I passed them by for now.
Instead I was attracted to their Parisian Macaroons (which are not the coconut ones we're most accustomed to in the States). These macaroons are a hazelnut or almond and egg white based cookie with a filling of some sort. Like a super decadent sandwich cookie. They were $1.50 each ... a little on the pricey side so I didn't taste one of each flavor (I think there were six varieties).
I picked out:
Hazelnut: a vanilla cookie with a rich nutella-style filling. Sweet and rich but still light and flaky.
Rose Geranium: a delicately floral flavored cookie with a buttery light cream filling in the sandwich. My favorite.
Vanilla: a little sweeter because there was no strong flavor to balance it, but quite nice after a long walk and pleasant lunch.
By the register they also had three large jars of handmade caramels wrapped in wax paper. They were two for $1 so I had two of each.
Vanilla & Lemon - the wrappers were identical and I'm sorry to say that they all tasted the same. The caramels were nicely soft and sweet and of course had a wonderful slightly burnt sugar taste.
Fleur de Sel - a little darker tasting and with a nice warming sensation of instant salt. Instead of a regular caramel with a little series of grains of salt on the surface as I've had at other places, here the salt is completely integrated. The salt really brings out the caramelized notes, but it's also a bit strong and made my throat sting.
UPDATE: A kind reader, Dan, has informed me that these are made by the Little Flower Candy Company, which makes sense based on the flavor array.
I'm sure their cakes are great and there's the added bonus that they use organic ingredients whenever possible. Not that something like that makes a pastry more wholesome or anything! The macaroons can be ordered on their website, but not the caramels or lollies. The items are pricey, as is usually the case with labor intensive items. Overall I think I prefer the caramels and macaroons from Boule but since San Francisco doesn't have a Boule, I can see myself stopping in here on my next trip for a little something to eat. I'm especially interested in trying their Lavender Shortbread (I know, I've totally diverged from candy all of a sudden ... I was on vacation!).

Jelly Belly Soda Pop Shoppe
One of the problems with getting "preview" candy from a trade show like All Candy Expo is that I never know what it's actually going to look like in stores. One of the new products that I thought was pretty cool in concept was a new flavor assortment from Jelly Belly called Soda Pop Shoppe.
The flavor assortment includes: 7 Up, Dr. Pepper, A&W Root Beer, Orange Crush, and Grape Crush. What I find a little odd about this soda pop assortment is that there's no cola in it. But it seems that the variety is determined by some sort of flavor licensing from the Cadbury Schweppes people.
I got this little 3/4 of an ounce packet as a sample, but the fun part about these is that they're going to be packaged in soda bottles (1.5 ounces in a bottle). Sounds like a good way to share and to reseal them.
7 Up: a nice lemon lime with a good zesty hit at the front that gives it a slight bitter bite. There's no tangy component though.
Dr. Pepper: I've never been a fan of Dr. Pepper (or Mr. Pibb) but these seem to taste pretty faithful.
A&W Root Beer: these look almost like the Dr. Pepper, so be careful. Nice root beer flavor with a little creamy finish to it, like a foamy head.
Orange Crush: This one's a real winner. Tangy with a slight effervescent quality and a nice fake orange flavor.
Grape Crush: a little too sweet and not tart enough for my tastes, but then again I outgrew my appreciation of grape soda when I was twelve.
I'm a little confused if the A&W Cream Soda flavor is supposed to be in this mix or not, but it would sure fit well, but I wouldn't miss it if it doesn't make it.
These should be available in stores next month and might make nice stocking stuffers for Christmas. I like all of the flavors in here except for the Dr. Pepper, which could easily be plucked out and set aside for someone else. I think the real surprise flavor here is the 7 UP which was far more complex than I'd figured it would be.

by Buchholz, Todd G.
Publisher:Dutton Adult
More than 150 years ago, Scottish essayist Thomas Carlyle dubbed economics the "dismal science." But it certainly isn't that way in the skilful hands of Todd G. Buchholz, author of New Ideas from Dead Economists. In this revised edition of his book first published in 1989, economics is accessible, relevant and fascinating. It's even fun--for example when he uses the cast of Gilligan's Island and Henny Youngman jokes to explain complex economic theories. "Why not have the last laugh on Carlyle by using the dead economists themselves to reverse their bad reputations and to teach the lessons they left to us?"
Buchholz surveys and critiques economic thought from Adam Smith's invisible hand of the 18th century to the depression-fighting ideas of the Keynesians and money supply concepts of the 20th-century monetarists. He also relates classic economic principles to such modern-day events as the fall of communism, the Asian financial meltdown and global warming. Buchholz includes plenty of anecdotes about the lives of the great economists: Karl Marx, for instance, was an unkempt slob; David Ricardo, the early 19th-century English politician and economist, was among the rare economists to get rich trading stocks; and Maynard Keynes was so homely his friends called him "Snout." Here's a lively and authoritative read for those interested in the past, present and future of economics. --Dan Ring, Amazon.com

Professor McGregor's current research interests are focused on a number of questions in moral and legal philosophy. In bioethics, she currently is working on sustainability questions generated from the ethics of emerging technologies, nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology and cognitive science (NBIC). In the domain of the bio-medical, McGregor has questioned the subtle influences that affect individuals' choices and what should be done to militate against the forces that can undermine voluntariness. Attention to vulnerable populations in bio-medical research form the basis for her research and collaboration with Rebecca Tsosie (Director Indian Legal Program in the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law) looking at the ethical and legal issues involved in doing genetic research with groups, particularly marginalized groups such as Native Americans. Out of this work has come an interest in the development of a theory of harm group. Another area of research and collaboration, this work with Mayo faculty, focuses on the ethical and conceptual issues surrounding the definitions of death and ethics of organ donation.
Bioethics is also the ethics of the environment, the biosphere and has lead to research on the ethics of sustainability. She has recently directed a NEH Summer Institute on Aldo Leopold's contribution to the roots of environmental ethics. And currently she is working on an account of our duties to future generations and what are the impacts of emerging technologies on those duties to the future.
Legal philosophy, particularly moral and legal dimensions of rape has been an on-going interest of Professor McGregor. Currently, she is continuing her research on rape and consent in the criminal law.

Thanks for helping!
Great little restaurant. Lots of table squashed into a small area, but not too noisy when full. Very friendly staff and the food was great.
I was here with my parents and it was a great night. The food was hot and delicious. We didn't have to wait long for our order to be taken, or for the food to arrive. Was probably the best butter chicken I have tasted. The saffron rice was really good too. Recommend you stop in and try it!
What a bad luck i landed in this restaurant, being an Indian myself it put indian food and hospitality at shame!
Ordered something non sweet curry ended up with loads if sugar in chicken tikka.
once replaced, they made it too spicy which I couldn't handle!
Understated Indian restaurant in the heart of Surfers. Matter of fact decore and service but quick service and great food. Prices were reasonable too. Recommended.
Their dinner special is any curry from the menu + naan & rice for $20 (same deal is $15 at lunch). If you select a seafood curry there's a $3 extra charge. We had mango chicken and rogan josh and both were delicious. My hubby commented that it had been a long time since he'd had rogan josh with not...
We were in Australia and I was so longing for Indian food. In the afternoon we found most of them closed and were loitering around to find one place where we could have something Indian. This place was a blessing and we gorged on the food. There were a few locals as well, relishing Indian food. :)
i like neat quiet place to eat.Very close to Hotel.Staff was helpful for providing us good choice of food.
Always eat here in the Gold Coast . The food is amazing and full of flavour .The food came out quickly and was incredible, couldn't find any flaws at all the spinach and cheese naan is a must, it was the perfect addition to the meal.Saag gosht was tasty , madras chicken was delightful but it was the chicken tandoor...
We went there yesterday 12th of march 2015, the dinning area is very dirty thats what bothers me most. the food was the worst indian food i ever had. We ordered for chicken biriyani and they served us rice with tandoori chicken pieces!! which has absolutely no taste. not hot not spicy!!
We could easily feel the food was cooked...
I had takeaway from here three times during a 5 week stay in Surfers....each time the meal was very good.
The flavours are fantastic....spices and hotness are perfectly balanced.
Definitely worth a try!

Federal Information System Controls Audit Manual (FISCAM)
GAO-09-232G: Published: Feb 2, 2009. Publicly Released: Feb 2, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3317
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
FISCAM presents a methodology for performing information system (IS) control audits of federal and other governmental entities in accordance with professional standards. This version supersedes the prior version, Federal Information System Controls Audit Manual: Volume I Financial Statement Audits, AIMD-12.19.6, January 1, 2001. The FISCAM is designed to be used primarily on financial and performance audits and attestation engagements performed in accordance with GAGAS, as presented in Government Auditing Standards (also know as the "Yellow Book"). The FISCAM is consistent with the GAO/PCIE Financial Audit Manual (FAM). Also, FISCAM control activities are consistent with NIST Special Publication 800-53 and all SP800-53 controls have been mapped to the FISCAM. The FISCAM, which is consistent with NIST and other criteria, is organized to facilitate effective and efficient IS control audits. Specifically, the methodology in the FISCAM incorporates the following: (1) A top-down, risk-based approach that considers materiality and significance in determining effective and efficient audit procedures; (2) Evaluation of entitywide controls and their effect on audit risk; (3) Evaluation of general controls and their pervasive impact on business process application controls; (4) Evaluation of security management at all levels (entitywide, system, and business process application levels); (5) A control hierarchy (control categories, critical elements, and control activities) to assist in evaluating the significance of identified IS control weaknesses; (6) Groupings of control categories consistent with the nature of the risk; and (7) Experience gained in GAO's performance and review of IS control audits, including field testing the concepts in this revised FISCAM.

NBC's First WEDNESDAY NIGHT RIVALRY is Most-Watched NHL Game in Network History
Last night's inaugural Wednesday Night Rivalry game between the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers from Madison Square Garden was watched by 956,000 viewers (0.53 HH rating), making it the most-watched NHL regular-season game in the network's history*, dating back to the 2005-06 season. The previous record was set on opening night last season when 874,000 viewers (0.51 HH) tuned in to see the then-defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins take on the Philadelphia Flyers.
The contest (7:30-10:12 p.m. ET), won by the Rangers, 4-3, in overtime, was also the most-watched NHL regular-season game on any cable channel in 11 years, since ESPN drew 1.28 million for Sharks-Red Wings in 2002 (1/23/02). Last night's game peaked in the second period with 1.09 million viewers from 8:45-9 p.m. ET.
Locally, New York scored a 2.07 HH rating, the market's highest-ever rating for an NHL regular-season game on NBC Sports Network. Boston received a 6.94 HH rating, the second-highest regular-season Bruins game ever on NBC Sports Network, behind only last season's opening night game against the Flyers (7.39 HH rating). NBC Sports Network was the No. 1 rated network overall in Boston from 7:30-10:15 p.m. ET, and the No. 2 cable network in New York during that time.
Through four games this season, NBC Sports Network is averaging 507,000 viewers, up 53% compared to the 2011-12 season average of 332,000, and up 27% compared to the first four games last season (398,000).
*NBC Sports Network was previously known as VERSUS (2006-2011) and OLN before that.
UPCOMING NBC Sports Network COVERAGE
NBC Sports Network resumes its NHL coverage this Sunday, Jan. 27, when the St. Louis Blues Face Off against the Minnesota Wild at 8 p.m. ET. Dave Strader (play-by-play) and Pierre McGuire (Inside-the-Glass analyst) will call the action in St. Louis. On Tues., Jan. 29, Strader will team with Brian Engblom (Inside-the-Glass analyst) as they travel to Pittsburgh to call the N.Y. Islanders at the Penguins at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Next week's Wednesday Night Rivalry will see the Minnesota Wild host the Chicago Blackhawks at 8 p.m. ET. Both teams are currently atop their respective divisions. Emmy Award-winning play-by-play announcer Mike 'Doc' Emrick, Eddie Olczyk (analyst) and Pierre McGuire ('Inside-the-Glass' analyst) will be on-site at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn.
In addition to the NHL, NBC Sports Network will resume Friday Night Ice, its college hockey programming, tomorrow night when Cornell hosts No. 7 Yale at 7:30 p.m. ET, from Lynah Rink in Ithaca, N.Y. Dan Parkhurst will serve as play-by-play announcer alongside 'Inside-the-Glass' analyst Ken Hodge.

Very little has gone right so far this year for the Rangers from the injuries that have depleted the team's attack to the surprisingly erratic play of Henrik Lundqvist and suspect work in front of him by the Blueshirts' defensemen. The biggest problem however is the team's inconsistent effort coach Alain Vigneault said. "I do know that my teams compete my teams play hard and they're hard to play" he said. "We haven't been that way and it's my responsibility to get us there." Vigneault said he has not been happy with the 2-5-0 Rangers' effort in just two of their seven games. When asked how they can improve on that he simply said: "It's just about being a professional. "It's not very hard to understand what I want" Vigneault said. "It's a matter of them putting the right compete level on the ice. If you do that usually you're in pretty good shape." The Rangers it should be noted echoed their new coach before his press conference talking about giving maximum effort

Successful Barca Trip
Hi Mom, writing to you as I fly over France. Kind of a surreal sentence that I never thought I would type out haha. Our flight left Barcelona about an hour late so depending on how fast we get through customs should be back to Lee Abbey between 12 and 1. Looking forward to sleeping for longer than 6 hours. The weekend was very jammed packed as we sought to take advantage of all that Barcelona had to offer. Yesterday we went to the beach were I got absolutely roasted ...
Day 12: 3.7.15 - 2nd day & night at Le Puy du Fou
... entrance we happened to meet up with one of the couples who had dined at our table last night. What a wonderful reunion! You would think we were long lost friends. We chatted a little about last night's water spectacular. Magnificent; fantastic; truly wonderful - it was easy to communicate as we had shared the same experience and were similarly impressed.
When we got to the entrance we showed our documentation that Brad had printed at home, only to ...
Day 11: 2.7.15 - Le Puy du Fou
... just like one sees at the Spring Racing Carnival in Melbourne.
There are 4 hotels on site but no room was available despite booking last year so we are staying about 10 minutes away.
It is a very large park telling the history of France from Roman times until current day. There are different areas from different eras with little villages set up and often a special show at different times during the day and evening.
Our first show ...
All closed up at 18:00
... to go onto a campsite at riverside as €14.00 for night and 3 hours free WiFi seemed a bargain.
There was no other show in town so we were all parked up in the lovely site by 20:00. There were not too many on site and it was refreshing not to be surrounded by too many more tourists.
Dinner cooked up and a stroll around the site in fading light.
A Father Matthew night followed and after the drive, perhaps no bad idea either,
Rain, Rail & Rest
... canals we were planning to ride would be similar to the ride on the Ille et Rance canal in both scenery and track condition is wet and muddy, and also because I have been adopted by a cold and thought a quieter day out of the cold and wet would be wise. We seem to have been surrounded by people with colds in various places since we arrived so it was probably just a matter of time till we succumbed. However, it's a jolly nuisance and I'm just hoping that Keith does ...

A Great race which I would recommend. Smaller field than the local Ironman branded races but as an athlete I had everything I want and expect from a great event. It was REALLY HOT! The first and last six miles of the bike course are pretty challenging the rest of the bike course is rolling and quite enjoyable. The men's winner described the run course as "crazy stupid hard!". I would not go that far but it is challenging.

text: Southern Smile was a great place to spend a week on Hatteras Island. The house is located mid-way between the sound and the beach, but it is not far to either. There is a boardwalk to the ocean right at the end of park drive, and ramp 38 is nearby with parking and driving beach access. There is a gas station/convenience store right at the end of Park Drive. The house setup worked well. There is one master with a king, and one with a queen. Then there is a two twin bedroom with a private bath and a two bunk bedroom with a hall bath. There is a small den with a pull-out sofa. We saw deer off the deck every night, and being that it is the last street in Avon, we had an unobstructed view right down to Buxton to the lighthouse. The house was clean and well maintained, and we found all of the kitchen and cleaning supplies that we needed. This is my second stay on Park Drive, (previous time in a rental by owner) and I wouldn't stay anywhere else! more

A publication of the Archaeological Institute of America
Ball Player Statue Unearthed in Mexico
Tuesday, June 04, 2013
(INAH)GUERRERO, MEXICO—While repairing a water pipeline at the site of Piedra Labrada, workers uncovered a life-sized statue of a Mesoamerican ball player with bowed legs and crossed arms. The granite sculpture is at least 1,000 years old, and was found on the largest of five ball game platforms at the site. "A helmet is carved on the head, while the waist features a yugo. This is like a belt but stronger to protect this part of the body during the ball game," said Juan Pablo Sereno Uribe of the National Institute of Archaeology and History. The statue's head had been sliced off, as if the player had been decapitated.

TuneRecycler.com launches Pepsi iTunes bottelcap recycling to support indie labels
"With the Tune Recycler, you can send us your unwanted iTunes bottlecap codes and we'll use them to support independent music. Easy for you, and good for music. [...]
When you submit a winning Pepsi code to the Tune Recycler, we'll redeem it for music from honest, independent labels. There are a few great independent labels in the iTunes store that give their musicians up to 40-50 cents, right from the first sale. When you use the Tune Recycler, you know that no money is going to support price fixing, payola, or lawsuits against families with children—and most importantly, the money goes to a musician. That way, you don't have to sign up with iTunes to get one song, but you can still put that cap to use."

Comments about Women's Wrinkle-Free Long-Sleeve Shirt - Print:
I've been buying tons of dress shirts from EB for many years. They offered several different fits which were fine, (one was called modern with an open folded down neckline without buttons) but the one fit they make now is too close fitting to the body and uncomfortable, a fit that is for someone with a small waist and hour glass figure. I guess the skinnies won out with EB. Good luck, since the average woman is a size 14, which I am. The only plus is I saved myself $67 by returning them. Another popular outfitter in ME offers a similar style in beautiful patterns which have a nice look and feel and free shipping both ways.

Comments about Women's Wrinkle-Free Long-Sleeve Shirt - Print:
I've been buying the WF shirts for years. The material and fit are good and I love the tall cut. I like these new prints, but the collar and cuffs aren't as dressy as previous incarnations. The version with the lower first button (so it was a v-neck) and the longer cuffs is my fave.

In order to pass his coveted title, one of the vampires in his coven must fight and kill a sentry - a member of an elite order of vampire hunters.

Jaime: Steve, d'you think I'll be able to play the violin when my hand gets better? Steve: Well, sure. Jaime: Oh, that's so great, because I have never been able to play it before.
(Steve tears apart a chair to demonstrate to Jaime). Steve: I know how tough it is. I went through exactly what you're going through. Jaime: Your arm is bionic? Steve: (nodding) And both legs. And an eye. Jaime: An eye? Which one? Steve: You tell me. Jaime: I can't. Steve: Now, will you trust me? I'll be here to help you, Jaime, every step of the way. But you've got to try. You've got to want to live, Jaime - you hear me?
Jaime: What did you let them do to me? Steve: Look, I know how you feel. Jaime: No, you don't! Why did you let 'em do that?! Steve: Jaime, trust me, please... trust me. Jaime: I don't wanna be a freak! Steve: Jaime... Jaime: Why didn't you just let me die, for god sakes! Steve: Jaime, don't tell me about wanting to die!
Steve: There still is, Oscar. You know how you're always looking for a new angle; a new device. I mean, think of what an asset Jaime could be to us. And her cover as a tennis pro - I mean, it's perfect! There are places she can get into that I could never get into! And she's got the head for it - she's well adjusted, she's... Oscar: Steve... Steve... you're in love with her! Steve: What's that got to do with it? Oscar: Everything! You'd sell your soul for her. You'd do anything; you'd commit yourself to her. But someday... someday, I'm gonna say, "I need her". I'm gonna need her for a job, and you know what you're gonna do, pal? You're gonna change your mind. Steve: No, I won't... I won't change my mind, Oscar, I swear it. Oscar: Well... what about... uh... Jaime? What does she say? Steve: She's dyin', Oscar. She put her life into my hands. I'm putting it into yours. You're the only one who can help. Will you help me? Please?
Oscar: Steve, it's just not possible! Steve: You know that's not true, Oscar, because I'm living proof that it is possible! Oscar: I'm not talking about technology! We can put Jaime back together again - I think it's possible. But there are other considerations! Steve: Oscar, I asked you up here to help me. Now so far, all I've gotten is a handful of red tape! Now there's a woman in there with no hearing in one ear, an arm and both legs crushed beyond repair, and you... you have the power to put her back together again, just like you did me! Oscar: Bionic limbs cost millions of dollars, d'you understand? Millions of dollars! I gotta get Rudy Wells and the whole bionic team up here. How am I going to justify the expense? Steve: Well, how did you justify me?! Oscar: That was different! There was a need!

This two part episode served as the pilot for The Bionic Woman series.

What You Won't Hear From the Defund Obamcare Town Hall
Category: Obamacare
In a last-ditch effort to spread misinformation about Obamacare, opponents are hitting the road on a "Defund Obamacare Town Hall Tour." In each of the states they're heading to, there are thousands of women and families who stand to benefit from the new health care law. But do these opponents care about those benefits? Nope.
They'll spend their time in Fayetteville, AR; Dallas, TX; Tampa, FL; Nashville, TN; Birmingham, AL; Indianapolis, IN; Columbus, OH; Pittsburgh, PA; and Wilmington, DE, talking about taking away basic health care. In the nine states where they'll be talking, there are 13,986,406 people who stand to benefit from the health care law.
While Heritage Action, along with anti-women's health politicians like Senator Ted Cruz and former Senator Jim DeMint, spend their time talking about talking away health care, women will be accessing cancer screenings with no additional co-pay thanks to the provision in Obamacare that covers basic, preventive health care. While they're busy spreading misleading information, there are 3.1 million young people under the age of 26 who are benefitting from having the security of being able to stay on their parent's health insurance. While they're traveling to these nine states, thousands of women and families will be benefitting from the health care law.
But you won't hear any of that from Heritage Action. If they had their way, thousands of young adults would be forced off their parents' insurance plans, parents of children born with pre-existing conditions would once again worry about reaching a lifetime cap or getting any coverage, and seniors would be left paying more for their prescription drugs. If they had their way, families could once again be bankrupted and lose everything because of an illness, accident, or medical emergency.
The real story of Obamacare is the historic progress that has been made for women and families. We need to remind them of this progress and send a clear message that Obamacare works. It works for women and families. And we're not backing down.
