The new version of the Philadelphia Eagles offense was a rousing success in the season opener -- at least for 2 1/2 quarters.
Same goes for the San Diego Chargers, though they came away much more disappointed.
Despite successfully debuting his up-tempo style as Eagles coach, Chip Kelly would like his offense to pick up the pace even more for Sunday's matchup with the visiting Chargers.
"There are certain games where you play the clock, but I don't know that there will be a time in this game where you won't be wanting to go score and keep scoring because of how fast they play offensively," San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers said. "No lead is ever safe."
Though Philadelphia's 53 first-half plays were the second-most by any team since 1991, Kelly felt his team could have moved more quickly and smoothly in Monday night's 33-27 win over Washington.
"I felt like it was slow, to be honest with you," Kelly said. "I'm not joking. We've got to do a better job. We left the ball on the ground too much. We didn't get the ball to the officials. We could have sped things up from a process between plays. That's something we need to continue to work on."
At least twice it appeared star runner LeSean McCoy had to leave the field just to catch his breath. Exemplifying how Kelly plans to run the ball about as much as he did at Oregon, McCoy had a career-high 31 carries for 184 yards -- one shy of a personal best.
"The tempo really worked," McCoy said. "I don't think anyone has seen it that fast."
McCoy's 34-yard touchdown run gave the Eagles a 33-7 lead early in the third quarter. However, they didn't score after that as the offense slowed down, in part to take time off the clock, and they failed to gain more than 16 yards on four of their final five possessions.
"We've got to keep working. There are a lot of mistakes we made," said Michael Vick, who threw for 203 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 54 and a score. "I think (in) the second half, we got a little bit sloppy."
While Kelly and the Eagles were pleased with Vick's play, new Chargers coach Mike McCoy had to be happy with how Rivers implemented his new offensive scheme through two-plus quarters. Rivers tied a career high with four TD passes as San Diego built a 28-7 lead midway through the third.
However, the Chargers totaled just 10 yards after that, Rivers' interception was returned for the tying touchdown in the fourth and Houston won 31-28 on a game-ending field goal.
"We had every opportunity in the world to finish that game and we didn't do it," McCoy said Wednesday. "And it's all about winning and losing. We get paid to win games here and we didn't finish the game. But we're moving on. We're learning from it."
Rivers threw for 195 yards and was 14 of 29 for a 48.3 completion percentage which was the second-worst of Week 1. He's not expecting things to get any easier against an Eagles defense that sacked Robert Griffin III three times and intercepted two of his passes.
"I know everyone's talking how fast their offense is and how fast they play, but their defense is the same way," Rivers said. "Their personnel is fast and they just fly around."
Philadelphia limited the Redskins to 74 rushing yards despite playing against Griffin and Alfred Morris, last year's top rusher among quarterbacks and the league's second-leading rusher overall.
Ryan Mathews was held to 33 yards on 13 carries in the opener as San Diego fell to 7-16 in games he plays and has less than 65 on the ground. The Chargers have failed to rush for 100 yards in eight consecutive games.
Their defense, meanwhile, surrendered 449 yards to the Texans -- six yards more than Philadelphia had last week.
All but two of the 10 meetings between these teams have been decided by eight points or less. In the most recent one, Rivers was 20 of 25 for 231 yards and two TDs in a 31-23 home win in 2009.
The Chargers have lost their only two trips to Philadelphia since 1995. They're 0-6 on the road against NFC foes since 2009 but did win both of their trips to the Northeast last season -- against Pittsburgh and the New York Jets in December.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"This was the perfect announcement I was looking for! Simple with space for pictures to share with our family and friends who were not at the wedding. I had a completely different experience from the other review for this product. My photos printed beautifully on good quality paper! The colors look exactly the same as the pictures I used - not dull. Everything was reviewed and shipped within 48 hours, I was able to track the shipment, and it arrived 3 days ahead of the delivery date quoted when I submitted the order."
"These cards are great, both in design and picture quality. They have a clean, cheerful, modern look. My only gripe was there is only a small place on the return address space so most standard address labels don't fit. I ordered a custom small address stamp instead."
"i ordered this to send to everyone after my husband and i had a small ceremony with immediate family only. the cards turned out very nicely, the pictures were very clear, and the paper weight was nice so it didn't appear we were cheap about it. would recommend to anyone"
"I ordered these recently for my wedding announcements and had them express shipped. I received them 2 days after ordering and they looked great! Exactly how they looked when I reviewed them online."
"We loved this postcard as an announcement for our courthouse wedding, especially since we could feature one favorite photo on the front, and use the space for text on the back to tell people the details and clue them in to expect more info about a party/reception down the road. It shipped quickly, design was just what we were looking for, the electronic proof gave me a lot of peace of mind that it would be perfect."

New England Pop Warner Online Re-Certification
The New England Pop Warner firmly believes that all of our training programs are vitally important for volunteers who serve in leadership positions. All of our training programs are designed to allow our volunteer coaches and administrators to take on bigger and greater challenges. Universally, volunteers are the backbone of any non-profit organization. Volunteers who are properly trained and supported can strengthen their program and expand the work they are able to do in their community and more likely to volunteer again. Rest assured your selfless contribution of time and energy in your community does not go unnoticed.
This on-line educational training is considered the minimum training for Football and Spirit coaches.
All head coaches needing renewals, new head coaches/new coordinators or renewals for coordinators must now take the ASEP course from National (this may take the place of the hands-on clinic). All spirit and football coaching personnel on your rosters must take the free online course provided and bought by the New England Region. This portion is mandatory for all spirit and football coaching personnel on rosters. It is free and they can do it at their own pace.
We highly recommend that all spirit coaching personnel working with the teams should attend a hands-on clinic sponsored by the Region. We will have 2 1/2 day courses available this year.
The New England Region is comprised of the six New England States and is the smallest in physical area of the eight regions that make up the National Pop Warner Program. However, in spite of our small physical size, the New England Region has the second largest number of teams of the eight regions and continues to grow on an annual basis.

A settlement agreement calls for a woman disfigured in a Connecticut chimpanzee attack to receive about $4 million from the estate of the animal's now-dead owner.
Attack victim Charla Nash's brother filed a lawsuit on her behalf in 2009 in state Superior Court seeking $50 million in damages from chimp owner Sandra Herold, who died in 2010.
An agreement filed in Stamford Probate Court and reviewed Thursday by The Associated Press calls for Herold's estate to provide Nash with $3.4 million in real estate in addition to vehicles and cash.
Nash was attacked by Herold's 200-pound chimpanzee, Travis, in February 2009. Nash was blinded, lost both hands and underwent a face transplant.
The family's lawyer says the money obtained is "an insignificant amount" considering what she went through.
Her family is trying to sue the state.

Outrigger canoes have been traveling the Pacific Ocean for 4,000 years. We only have modern hints of their true origin.
The earliest outrigger craft are thought to have originated at this time and we now know that ancient Polynesians and their ancestors settled in the most remote islands of the Pacific in Outrigger and Double-hull Canoes. Outrigger Canoes were vital for food from and travel across the ocean.
New Zealand is as far south as the Polynesian Community seems to have traveled. They traveled in outrigger canoes over 150 feet in length, and spoke the same and similar languages all the way from Hawaii to Samoa, Tonga, Rarotonga, Tahiti and the NZ Islands.
The Maori, the first inhabitants of New Zealand record historically arriving in Five canoes from Havaiiki, (Hawaii), which was their home.
Modern Theory has the origin, of much of Polynesia coming from Asia, based on anthropological forensics However Polynesians who look almost identical in some cases to the American Indian, are also thought to have come from America.
It was the Hawaiians who began racing in the 1920's and formalized the sport in the 1950's.
Since then there are now thousands of Outrigger Canoe clubs enjoying the sport of racing against each other, all across the Globe. There are approximately two dozen Outrigger Canoe Clubs in the Bay Area and Northern California.

Kids' App of the Week: The Journals of Mama Mae and LeeLee [Interview with Alicia Keys!]
October 25, 2012
© The Journals of Mama Mae and LeeLee
When you think of Alicia Keys, a few things like Grammy award-winning artist, actress, mom and wife immediately come to mind. Now, with the launch of her latest tech-focused endeavor, you can add app creator to her list of accomplishments.
Created with Bento Box Interactive, Alicia's app called The Journals of Mama Mae and LeeLee presents its users with a fully immersive experience in the world of an 8-year-old girl named LeeLee. LeeLee has just moved to a new house in New York City and her room acts as the primary place where all the app's activities take place. Kids can explore LeeLee's new surroundings and do things in her room like write at her desk, play on the piano and pick a book from the bookshelf.
Speaking of the bookshelf, with the help of a special locket that her grandmother gives her, LeeLee transforms into a bird that enables her to take kids (and adults!) through interactive and musical storytelling experiences through different storybooks, the first of which is one called Blue Moon. In this particular story, LeeLee travels to the 17th century and meets another little girl named Abey. Together, they explore Abey's world together in a quest to find a missing eagle feather and do so with courage, music and friendship.
The app demonstrates the powerful relationship LeeLee has with her grandmother Mama Mae (voiced by Della Reese), and from a user standpoint, provides a wealth of activities and engaging ways to express creativity, enjoy music and explore LeeLee's world.
In addition to following the stories included in the app, kids can learn different sounds on the virtual piano, listen to original recordings from Alicia, practice creative writing and drawing, and immerse themselves in the joy of music. The Journals of Mama Mae and LeeLee goes beyond your typical storybook app and provides kids with a highly interactive experience that is truly harmonious.
The Journals of Mama Mae and LeeLee is available in iTunes for $3.99.
We had a chance to sit down and chat with Alicia and see why she wanted to add app developer to the many things she does:
What inspired you to do an app for kids?
Once you become a parent, your start to see the world differently, and you recognize that there is so much room to learn and grow. I've always been an avid reader, it's something my mother and I shared with I was little, and to which I credit my love of reading today. This app also touches on intergenerational connections to our grandparents, how much they can teach and guide us. We came up with the concept by merging my experiences with my nana, who was and is still so magical to me, and how this character, Mama Mae, helps LeeLee through life experiences.
How long did it take to complete the app?
I've been working on it for about a year-and-a-half. I'm really proud, because they're really nothing else out there that exists like this.
What do you love about the app?
It's gorgeous! Very beautifully drawn. I love that LeeLee doesn't know how she's going to get through this experience, moving to a new city. I can relate. It's tough meeting new people. I love that she's so open and honest, you can see it in her eyes and through her body language. I love that it's an interactive app, with a book your can read, games to play, awards to unlock. Everyone using the app is going to have their own unique experience with it. For example, the journal has 365 questions to prompt kids to write about what's going on in their life. I wrote in a journal growing up, and it's why the songwriter I am today. Kids need that outlet. I also love the geometrics of the app, how you can move your iPad to look at all angles of LeeLee's room and be completely transported to a whole other world. And I love Mama Mae. She makes me just want to hug her!
What role does music play in the app?
I wrote original songs for the app, and there's a piano where kids can compose their own. With the music on the app, I love how you can take the concept of each story, let's say it's about India, and have contemporary elements of the culture incorporated into the song.
What does Egypt think of the app?
He's at the age where he likes to touch everything. He really enjoys pressing the music box, which launches the MP3 player. He'll play a song for like 30 seconds and then stop it and start it over again. He's like a little DJ.
Here's a short video of Alicia speaking in more detail about her love for Mama Mae, LeeLee and the many treasures included in the app:

Dilly Dally Pickle Candy and Barrels of YumThe dill pickle is a favorite flavor in the United States. It goes beyond the brined cucumber and has made its way into potato chips, vodka, peanuts, and even toothpaste. It's a small wonder we haven't seen more pickled candies. The folks at Barrels of Yum have created a unique array of hard candies shaped like barrels, but I thought I'd start with their Dilly Dally Candy since it's their unique offering. Their barrel shaped dill pickle pieces bring the flavors of dill, vinegar, salt, garlic and tarragon to hard candy. They're bright green, like that weird paste I get from the Indian restaurant that I can't eat because it's so green. I'm not a pickle adverse person, as a kid I was a huge fan both of the store bought versions and the kind my grandmother made with the gherkins she grew in her own yard. The first flavor is sweetness, like a sweet pickle, which I actually don't care for. But after there's a strong and pleasant herbal dill note along with a weird sort of garlic flavor. The tartness that emulates vinegar comes in slowly. Overall, it's a good likeness of a pickle in dissolvable form. I would have liked a little less sweet, which I understand is hard to do with candy, but perhaps a dash of salt. Mostly, it lacks the texture, that crunch, the coldness from the fridge that are elements I enjoy in my pickle. My mouth never quite watered during the experience like it does with some good, refrigerator-cold, fresh pickles. As a novelty, especially if you're theming a party, these are definitely unique, but not something I'd eat every day. The other more sedate collection from Barrels of Yum is their Classic Collection of old fashioned gourmet candy creations. It really is time that hard candy got some upgrades, the new variety was created with David Klein, the fellow of brought us the idea of really great tasting jelly beans with the Jelly Belly. The variety contains eight different flavors, though oddly enough, not the classic barrel candy root beer. They include: blueberry crumble, peach cobbler, apple pie, chai tea, sour watermelon, hot cinnamon, orange cream, and granny smith green apple. They're kosher and made in the USA, unlike a lot of hard candies these days. They're for sale on Amazon, but at $5.99 they're a little steep. They're made with a combination of natural and artificial flavors. The colors are bright, though it's a little hard to tell some of the apart at first glance, as the peach and orange are similar as are the two browns. Apple Pie is the light brown color. It's very apple, with a lot of tartness to it and a good flavor balance that has some cinnamon and something like graham or that emulates crust very well. The apple flavor is good enough that it almost taste like they didn't peel the apples. Granny Smith Green Apple is just a little darker in color than the Dilly Dally, not that they're included in the same package. It starts out rather sedate but then develops. It's not Jolly Rancher apple, this is a lot more full bodied with more of the apple juice flavors than that artificial note that many American apple candies have. If you gave this to me without saying where it came from, I would guess it was Japanese, as they have a much better approximation of true apple flavor in candy than we do. Blueberry Crumble is over-blued ... it made my tongue blue and as an adult, it's not really a feeling I care for. The flavor is good, a well rounded sweetness with a light tart bite of boiled berries with a sort of vanilla top note. It didn't quite differentiate itself as actual blueberry, more of a generic berry flavor. Orange Cream is the lightest orange didn't really make any sense to me conceptually but it was well executed. Two of my favorite qualities of citrus are the acidic bite and the zesty balsamic note. Neither of those show up in this piece, as it's all about the soft orange flavor without the zing of the peel or the juice. So what's left? It's like a creamsicle, sweet and mild with a very good creamy mouthfeel, though there's absolutely no dairy in it. Peach Cobbler is a medium orange color and rather weak. It was tangy but didn't have that dough element like the crumble did. It was just odd, not peachy. I thought this was a miss. Sour Watermelon was hot pink and definitely reminded me of Jolly Rancher. The flavor was very sweet at first, like a ripe but uninteresting watermelon, but then the sour pops up as you get further in. It's not puckery, but has a believable quality to it. Chai Tea is warm with immediate cinnamon notes. The other spices are quite mild and comforting, perhaps a little nutmeg and ginger. It's not as strong as I could have liked, but the flavor is continuous instead of getting weak as the candy dissolves. Hot Cinnamon was saved for last, in case it burned me out. It starts out with a good mix of the powdery woody flavor but then goes right into the searing heat of the cinnamon oil. It reminded me of Atomic Fireballs, except there's no layering to grant relief after a few minutes. I had a little metallic hit from the artificial colors, I would have preferred colorings on these that didn't interfere with the intense flavors. Overall, the barrels fill a niche for interesting flavors in hard candy. I found the pieces just slightly large for my preference. Though the barrel shape is fun, I do prefer a disk as I think that fits better in the mouth. This particular flavor assortment didn't fit my tastes perfectly, only about half are flavors I'd pick out of the mix. I am looking forward to what they do with Root Beer, as I would love to find a really intense, spicy root beer hard candy. Related Candies

Necco Sweethearts Hot Hearts and Cool HeartsNecco 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. Related Candies

Brach's Christmas Nougats MixA 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. Related Candies

Red Bird Brand PuffsSometime about a year ago I picked up some Root Beer Puffs, which were like buttermints but flavored like the soda. A few weeks later I got a note from a company called Red Bird Brand that makes candy puffs in a huge variety of flavors. It took me quite a while to find them, but I did pick up Soft Assorted Puffs at the 99 Cent Only Store that includes 15 different flavors. (Though perhaps not always in the same bag.) The flavor variety is, well, extraordinary: Peppermint, Cherry, Lemon, Green Apple, Wintergreen, Strawberry, Orange, Grape, Peach, Blueberry, Butterscotch, Watermelon, Cream Penny, Cotton Candy, Passion Fruit. There's a menu guide on the back that shows the key for the combination of colors and stripes. There are about 25 candies in the bag, but the flavors were not distributed evenly. One of the differences between this style of Puffs and the traditional Buttermint of After Dinner Mint is the size. These are quite large, at about 1 inch across and all of them are individually wrapped. (No more candy dish with the stuck together.) Cherry was bold and easy to spot. It's a flavor that's both heavily scented and with a light tartness to it. It was smooth and had a good melt, but overall, it's not usually my favorite though at least this didn't have a lot of red coloring in it. The flavors not in my bag: Peppermint, Cotton Candy, Passion Fruit and Orange. For the most part I didn't like the fruity flavors. The others like butterscotch and wintergreen were more to my liking, even the unflavored Cream Penny were pleasant. One of the other items I picked up many months ago were the Red Bird Soft Hot Cinnamon Puffs. The bag holds only 4 ounces and was also $1.00, this time at Dollar Tree. The puffs themselves are quite nice, I liked them more than the variety package. There's a floral, sort of honey note to them. But they're also quite cinnamony. I wouldn't call them hot though, it was a nice heat but they never approached anything like the fire of an Atomic Fireball. The cinnamon smell is strong, even when they're in the package, so I had to keep them separated from other candies. The package for the Assorted Puffs said it was Gluten Free, they're also Kosher Pareve and appear to be vegan ingredients. It was strange that I didn't get the classic Peppermint in the Assorted mix, which is what Red Bird Brand is known for. Overall, the texture was good, they softened up nicely. The package mentions that they're rather hard when they're first made, but if you prefer a softer puff, to open the package and wait ... it was true. After a couple of months, mine reached the melt in your mouth texture that I was expecting. Related Candies

M&Ms Pumpkin SpiceAs usual, the candy shelves are stacking up with Halloween favorites and a few new novelty items. The Pumpkin Spice M&Ms are a Target exclusive this year (just as the Candy Corn M&Ms were also exclusive their first year at WalMart). The package is cute and was easy to spot at the store. It features the orange M&M character looking like a pumpkin. The flavor is not pumpkin pie itself, but the spices used to turn pumpkin custard into a seasonal dessert. Traditional pumpkin spices are a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, allspice, and/or mace. The ingredients for these M&Ms are vague, just listing "artificial and natural flavorings" at the end of the list. The pieces are, for the most part, the mega size. They're larger than a standard M&M and come in three colors in the package: dark brown, orange and green. The flavor is overwhelmingly cinnamon. Though they smell like chocolate, they taste like chocolate milk sipped in a room with too many Christmas-scented candles. The candy shell is crispy and the milk chocolate center is, well, a bit fudgy and grainy. I think I prefer the size of the regular M&Ms, since the chocolate is merely passable. In this format the amount of sugar easily overwhelms the chocolate. I didn't actually notice that much of a difference from the previous limited edition Cinnamon M&Ms from two years ago. Maybe a little more note of clove. I would have preferred more of the nutmeg and ginger spices than the Tic Tac notes of cinnamon candies. Pumpkin Spice seems to be a pretty hot flavor these days (though the Hershey's Kisses version has been around since 2008), a lot of seasonal candies are being released (see list below of previous reviews). If you like Spiced Chai or cinnamon in general, it's a great time to pick up this twist on old candy favorites. If not, wait a few months and the Candy Cane and Egg Nog versions will emerge. Finally, with all the crazy flavors of M&Ms that have come out over the years, I'm a loss to why they'd go with something like peanut butter and jelly before coffee. Related Candies

10 Underrated CandiesI often try to champion exceptional candies, ones that don't have million dollar advertising budgets or huge fandoms on social networks. But there are other candies out there that have been plugging away for decades just being dependable. They're not the best they could be, but they certainly don't get the attention they deserve. So here they are, not the only 10 candies that are underrated, but just 10 that I happen to love and find myself eating more often, now that I've circled around and tried a few thousand other candies in the past eight years. Chick-O-Sticks (Atkinson's) Description: Orange crunchy layers of peanut butter crisp rolled in coconut. What's to like about it? Crispy peanut butter layers. You get right to it, no busting your way through some crazy overly-sweet mockolate. It's just about the peanuts, it's completely crispy, a little salty and totally nutty. The best format are the individually wrapped minis shown, they make far less mess than the long bar format. They're vegan and gluten free. Hesitations? Well, there's coconut on the outside. I'm not sure why, but it's there and it's always been there. There's not a lot and it really doesn't contribute much to the flavor but does give a little chew to the texture. What would make me even happier is if they got rid of the artificial colors in it, which I could swear give them a slight bitter aftertaste that I don't get from the equally lovely Atkinson's Peanut Bars. What makes it underrated? The packaging is lackluster and they can be hard to find, especially in the Northeast. Goldenberg's Peanut Chews (Just Born) Description: a molasses chew studded with peanuts covered in dark mockolate. What's to like about it? Molasses and peanuts. That's it. It's dark and mysterious, only slightly sweet, sometimes a little bitter. It's chewy and crunchy and with a lot of nuts, it's very satisfying and filling. They come in cute little bars, so you can just eat one or two and save the rest for later or share. They're vegan! Hesitations? The mockolate coating is disappointing. It's usually a bit toasty flavored but waxy so it lacks a creamy smooth quality that might really tip this over into being an incredible candy. What makes it underrated? The name and packaging marks it as an old-time, regional candy bar. Just Born, who bought out Goldenberg's, renamed the candy, then brought back the classic name & design, further confusing people. The molasses component is a hard sell in artificial times. Root Beer Barrels (Various Brands) What's to like about it? It tastes like root beer! I tastes more like root beer than most of the cheap and weak sodas on store shelves and it's more portable. It's a hard to find flavor that really shines in hard candy form. Hesitations? Some brands are better than others. Voids in the candy can be sharp and make small cuts or abrasions on the tongue or palate. What makes it underrated? It's hard candy and hard candy is for old ladies. Honees Honey Drops (DiNatura) Description: little honey flavored hard candies filled with honey. What's to like about it? They're dead simple and satisfying, the honey center coats the throat and does actually soothe without medication. Hesitations? They can be expensive and can be messy, as many packages get sticky because of the delicate filling in the pieces. What makes it underrated? They're stuck in the cough drop aisle, not with the rest of the candy. Sure, they're soothing, but they're also comforting, and who doesn't want to be comforted regularly? Chocolate Covered Orange Zest (your local chocolate shop) Description: candied orange peel is dipped in dark chocolate What's to like about it? It's extremely simple with a good combination of textures and flavors. There's the bitterness of the orange oils and dark chocolate, the chewy texture of the peel and the creamy melt of the chocolate. Hesitations? They're a small treat, and the satisfaction is usually due to good quality peels done well (not to soft and sticky, not leathery tough) and appropriate amounts of chocolate. They're often expensive, which is odd because it's basically chocolate covered garbage, but they do require a bit of manual labor to make. What makes it underrated? Probably the fact that some places sell bad versions or put awful chocolate on them. They're also not for everyone, citrus is just not everyone's thing. Hot Tamales (Just Born) Description: rod shaped hot cinnamon jelly beans. What's to like about it? They're cinammony, soft and chewy. They're not too hot, so you can eat a lot of them, unlike some other super sizzling cinnamon candies. Hesitations? The red food coloring is a bit overwhelming and sometimes I get a package that tastes like cherry. What makes it underrated? They're just jelly beans. There's only one flavor in the box. Buttermints (Richardson) Description: buttery mint puffs What's to like about it? They're like sweet, minty air. They're soft and melt in your mouth. They're lightly flavored like peppermint, the opposite of the blast of flavor from an Altoid. Hesitations? They're hard to find and can get stale quickly or take on flavors from other foods around them. If they're sitting out in a bowl, they're going to be disappointing. What makes it underrated? They're marketed as an after dinner mint, not a treat in their own right. Toffee Peanuts (Various brands - shown is Old Dominion also Adams-Brooks Candies) Description: crunchy caramelized sugar covering peanuts What's to like about it? They're often found at truck stops and in vending machines. They're a great combination of satisfying peanut protein and sweet, buttery toffee. Though they're similar to French Burnt Peanuts, they're not as tough to crunch and often have a more authentic peanut and browned butter flavor to them. Hesitations? They can be sticky and sometimes if the bag has been shaken up too much, all the toffee comes off the nuts. (But then it's just perfect as a topping for ice cream.) What makes it underrated? As you may have already noticed a theme here, underrated candies are usually in small pieces, not bar form. It's easy to dismiss a toffee coated peanut because there are other, more trendy candies out there. But they've been making these for hundreds of years for a reason. Spearmint Leaves (Generic) Description: spearmint flavored jellies shaped like a mint leaf. What's to like about it? There are so few spearmint candies in the United States these days, and these endure for a reason. They're sweet but with a really powerful spearmint note to them that balances it out. The sugar crust balances the sticky jelly of the center. They're usually vegan as there's no gelatin used in gumdrops. Hesitations? They can get stale quickly, or worse, get sticky and damp. They're not easy to combine with other candies in a trail mix. I feel like an old lady when I pick them out in the store. Sugar Babies (Tootsie) Description: caramel bits covered in a grainy sugar shell. What's to like about it? If you've ever thought, "why don't they make caramel jelly beans", this is the answer. Why make a flavored item when you can give the same treatment to the real thing. Hesitations? When the get stale, they're pretty hard. They don't do well in trail mix with things like dried fruit because the moisture will make them even grainier or sticky. What makes it underrated? I think folks stop eating them when they grow up, and never go back. So that's my list. What do you think is undervalued or poorly marketed? Related CandiesMonday, June 4, 2012
Hot Tamales 3 AlarmOne of my favorite candies, especially lately, has been Hot Tamales. They're incredibly simple, basically just spicy cinnamon jelly rods. They're cheap and easy to find. I have been buying the five pound bags at places like Smart & Final and at Jack's Wholesale Candy in downtown Los Angeles. They look great in a candy jar and are an excellent pick-me up in the middle of the day or during long car trips. Just Born, makers of Hot Tamales, recently introduced a new twist to their standard box. It's called Hot Tamales 3 Alarm and as you might imagine, has three different spice levels inside: The Hot level is orange. It's mild but still a good mix of spicy and sweet. The Hotter level is red. It's warming but it's just in the shell and dissipates pretty quickly. The flavor is well rounded, the woodsy bark flavors of cassia (sometimes sold as cinnamon but with a slightly more floral note to it), the sweetness of the bark and then the burn. There's some throat tingling, but pretty much the normal Hot Tamale experience. The Hottest level is maroon. It's hard to tell these apart from the Hotter level sometimes, unless they're side by side. But make no mistake, there's a difference in flavor. The hotness is obvious. It's more than just cinnamon hot, I could swear there's some sort of capsaicin (hot peppers) in there. It burned my throat quite a bit. If I ate it with another level of hotness, I could take it, but otherwise I found it unpleasant. I like the Hot Tamales Fire and I like the Hot Tamales classic. But I'm not so keen on this Hottest level in Hot Tamales 3 Alarm and find the Hot level a little too tame. Seems like Just Born got it right the first time, so that's what I'll stick with. This is fun, but nothing that will become a go-to candy for me. Related Candies

Ferrara Pan White Hot Red Hots Jelly BeansValentine's Day is all about red. Red is the color of love and passion; candies for Valentine's Day play upon the flavors that follow with red: cherry, strawberry, raspberry and cinnamon. The fruity flavors are usually easy to find, but cinnamon is a little less common. I was excited to see this small bag of Ferrara Pan White Hot Red Hots Jelly Beans for sale at Walgreen's in their Valentine's candy display. What does White Hot Red Hots actually mean? The package doesn't say, but the little window shows that the small jelly beans come in two colors: red and a red speckled pink. Any additional questions could be answered for a mere buck. The beans are pretty and well made. They're glossy, consistently shaped and I appreciated that the bag was sized appropriately for the amount of candy actually in it. (Sometimes bags are absurdly large but have very little candy in them.) The white hot part, I think, means that these are very spicy cinnamon. Red Hots is just a brand of cinnamon imperials made by Ferrara Pan. They're a little larger than a Jelly Belly but smaller than the classic pectin bean. (Shown above with a Tic Tac.) They are actually very spicy. I just ate a bag of Hot Tamales last week and I can confirm that these are just slightly hotter than those. The shape is good, it's small and packs a powerful cinnamon punch. There's a slight clove note to them and every once in a while I also got a little whiff of artificial watermelon, which may just be a manufacturing thing. I liked them. It was easy to just pop a few as both a pick-me-up and a little breath freshener. They go well with coffee or tea. I'd definitely pick these up again especially because I like the smaller sized bag. Ferrara Pan already makes Lemonheads & Friends Jelly Beans but I would be curious to try a standard spice flavor array or maybe a mint blend. (Ferrara Pan is known for their Lemonhead and Atomic Fireballs, but they also do a lot of contract manufacturing for house brands and other major candy companies, so chance are you've had their jelly beans before.) They're made with confectioners glaze, so they're not considered vegetarian (though there's no carmine in there). They're made in equipment that also processes dairy, soy, tree nuts and peanuts. No mention of wheat/gluten but "modified food starch" is listed as an ingredient without any indication of the source. Related Candies

United States Senator
October 15, 2003
Statement of Senator Orrin G. Hatch, Chairman
Before the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary
Hearing on the Nomination of
D. Michael Fisher to be
U.S. Circuit Judge for the Third Circuit
Today the Committee has the privilege of considering the nominations of three outstanding lawyers to be federal judges. I commend President Bush for nominating each of them, I welcome each of them to today's hearing, and I look forward to their testimony.
The first nominee from whom we will hear is D. Michael Fisher, who has been nominated for a position on the Third Circuit. Mr. Fisher is a native of the great city of Pittsburgh and has been a committed public servant as well as a respected attorney for many years. After graduating from both college and law school at Georgetown University, Attorney General Fisher began his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office, where he worked in the appellate and trial sections and tried felony and homicide cases.
Attorney General Fisher has impressive legislative experience, having served as a Pennsylvania state representative for six years and as a state senator for another sixteen years. His 22 years of experience in the Pennsylvania General Assembly will serve him well on the federal bench.
At the same time, Mr. Fisher has practiced in the areas of litigation, estate matters, and commercial law for close to twenty years.
Since 1997 Mr. Fisher has served as Pennsylvania Attorney General, supervising an office of approximately 900 employees, including 210 attorneys and 325 law enforcement officers. His accomplishments are many, including co-authoring Pennsylvania's "Megan's Law," which helps protect citizens from sexual predators; supporting the passage of a state DNA post-conviction statute and development of drug courts and substance abuse treatment for first-time and nonviolent offenders, and working with seven other state attorneys general to negotiate the landmark national tobacco settlement in 1998.
The level of respect Attorney General Fisher enjoys from those who know him and have worked with him, I think, is well illustrated in the countless letters of support the Committee has received from across the nation. I can truly say that I have rarely seen such an outpouring of support from such a diverse set of distinguished and accomplished individuals. I will cite just a few of the many letters and place them into the record. Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell, a Democrat who defeated Attorney General Fisher in the last gubernatorial election, writes: "I believe [Attorney General Fisher] would be extremely fair on the bench and, most importantly, would truly listen to the arguments of lawyers from both sides without any preconceived notions." The entire nineteen-member Pennsylvania delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives, which includes twelve Republicans and seven Democrats, has written: "Mike Fisher is held in high esteem by both parties and the people of Pennsylvania. He is known for his strong work ethic, keen legal mind, dedication to the field of law, his personal integrity, and for his sense of fairness."
Attorney General Fisher is supported by numerous Pennsylvania state legislators, Democratic and Republican, and leaders from the Pennsylvania Bar, Allegheny County Bar, Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association, Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association, and, perhaps most impressively, his peers: the serving attorneys general in the states of Iowa, Arkansas, West Virginia, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Kansas, North Carolina, and Florida, to name just a few of the states. The former Attorney General of Tennessee, Charles W. Burson, who also served as legal counsel for former Vice President Gore, has also written in support of Mr. Fisher's nomination: "While [Attorney General Fisher] and I may differ on particular issues, I am certain that as a Federal Appellate Judge, he will deliberately, and with an even hand, apply the law to the facts and render sound judgments."
I think it's clear from these letters and from his distinguished record that Attorney General Fisher will make a terrific Third Circuit judge.
Since we have a number of senators patiently waiting here to introduce nominees, I will reserve my remarks on our two district nominees until after Attorney General Fisher has testified.

Statement of Senator Orrin G. Hatch, Chairman
Before the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary
Hearing on the Nominations of
Dale S. Fischer to be United States District Judge
for the Central District of California
Gary L. Sharpe to be United States District Judge
for the Northern District of New York
We will now consider our final panel of witnesses, two nominees for the federal district court bench.
Dale Susan Fischer is our nominee for the Central District of California. Judge Fischer is a Harvard Law graduate. She was a practicing attorney for 17 years before her appointment to the Los Angeles Municipal Court in 1997. Three years later, she became a judge on the Los Angeles Superior Court, where she currently sits. Judge Fischer has more than 20 years of legal experience and will be a fine addition to the federal bench.
Our Northern District of New York nominee is Gary Sharpe. Prior to his appointment as a federal magistrate judge in 1997, he served as a prosecutor at both the federal and state levels for a combined total of more than twenty years, including two years as interim U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York. His impressive trial experience and judicial knowledge will serve him well as a federal district judge.
It is my privilege to welcome these fine nominees to the Committee. I look forward to hearing their testimony.

Peanut Butter Brownie Cups Recipe
- 1 package (21-1/2 ounces) fudge brownie mix
- 15 to 18 miniature peanut butter cups
- Mix brownie batter according to package directions. Fill paper-lined or foil-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
- Remove wrappers from peanut butter cups; set one in each muffin cup and press down until batter meets the top edge of the candy. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes. Cool in pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: about 1-1/2 dozen.
Reviews for Peanut Butter Brownie Cups(8)
Sort By :
Sam's Club Brownie Mix did work great with this recipe. Plus the mini peanut-butter cups are now paperless so you don't have to take off all those wrappers... After they cooled I frosted them to add some extra decorations for the holidays.
An easy and delicious way to combine my favorite culinary combination: chocolate and peanut butter. I use mini muffin pans and mini peanut butter cups.
Baked up a batch early this morning (aroma of them bakin' woke my husband). Batch yielded 3-1/2 dozen. I used mini muffin pan; they turned out perfectly. Thank you for sharing recipe!!
This is so easy, and yet so delicious! I have made them 3 times now. The first time in regular muffin cups, but being a regular cupcake size I felt it was a bit too much for one snack. So I decided to make them in mini-muffins using the new mini peanut butter cups from Reeses. I cooked them at the same temp, just cooked them for 10-13mins until they looked done.
Oh my! What a difference! They are a lot more time consuming, but they are just perfect little bites of brownie goodness! The first time in mini-muffin cups I just tried to grease the pan and not use liners.. not such a good idea, they still stuck like crazy but everyone ate them anyways! The ones I just made today, I used mini-muffin liners and they are so much better! I think next time I may still spritz the liners with cooking spray just to make it even easier to peel and eat them!
These things are fantastic and so so simple.
Made these twice everyone loves them

Review by: rey, chicago IL, 7/12/2010
I felt this product's fit was true to size
I felt this product's width was true to width
I am a plus plus size guy and I needed a tough boot that wasnt too tough but would keep that strong work feel on my feet. I figure what would be better than a military boot and I hate shoe strings so this shoe was a perfect match. Even after ordering the wrong size the phone number to their office assisted me in finding not only the correct size but how simply it was to return and exchange them. I would recommend them to anyone interested in buying shoes. the only thing left to do at a shoe store is well get a shoe measurement
Review by: Dave, Iowa, 8/11/2007
I felt this product's fit was half size small
This is one of the most comfortable boots I have ever put on Great fit comfort and very well made. I have made these my everyday boots I highly recommend this product. I have a wide foot and ordered the EE it is a little wider than my foot and is very comfortable
Review by: Charles, Heidelberg Germany, 9/6/2005
I felt this product's fit was half size large
The extra thick comfortable insole I feel is responsible for the extra 1/2 size I required for a comfortable fit. Your exchange was quick and now the new boots fit just perfect.

Birth Control FAQs (cont.) Medical Author:
Omnia M Samra, MD
Medical Editor:
Bryan D Cowan, MD
Medical Editor:
Francisco Talavera, PharmD, PhD
Medical Editor:
Lee P Shulman, MD
What birth control methods are available without seeing my doctor?Condoms (also called rubbers) are available in most supermarkets, drug stores, and in vending machines in some public restrooms. They are available without a doctor's prescription. Most condoms are made from latex rubber. A man puts the condom on his erect penis before having sex. A condom is used only once. Some men and women are allergic to the latex in condoms. If you aren't allergic, you should use condoms made from latex because they are best at preventing pregnancy and protect against transmitting sexual diseases such as AIDS and
genital herpes. Do not use condoms with lubricants such as Vaseline or other brands of petroleum jelly or oils. They make the latex less effective and may damage the condom. You may use a lubricant, such as K-Y Jelly, which does not contain oil. A form of female condom (brand name Reality) is also available at stores without a doctor's prescription. These are made of polyurethane. A woman inserts the condom into her vagina right before sex and uses it only once. Do not use a male and female condom at the same time. The male condom is more effective at preventing pregnancy and protecting against sexually transmitted diseases. Spermicides are available in drugstores without a prescription. They can be a foam, cream, film, or jelly. Spermicides contain a chemical that kills a man's sperm. The woman should carefully follow the instructions on the package. Most spermicides must be inserted into the vagina 10-15 minutes before sexual intercourse. One dose usually works for an hour. Use another dose if you have sexual intercourse again, even if it has been less than an hour. Do not use douches or rinse your vagina for at least 6-8 hours after having sex. Spermicide alone is not completely effective at preventing pregnancy. Behavioral methods such as pulling out before ejaculation are not very effective. Douching (rinsing out the vagina) after sex is not effective and not recommended. Breastfeeding a newborn can be protective against pregnancy for up to 6 months, but most women don't breastfeed often enough to keep hormone levels in check.

For Artists Ages 3 - 93!
Welcome to Art Made Easy!
"My Summer Day" by Thifalia, age 7
My art education consists of weekly lessons with a private teacher when I was in elementary school. But during middle school and high school, I pursued music instead, and in college I majored in history. When I finally went back to art, I didn't have the time or money to take cl***es. So I checked out library books about art instead. And I'm still checking out those library books. And with the Internet, I'm finding all sorts of helpful information online. Now I'm teaching art, working on commissioned pieces, and illustrating for children. And my art is still improving. And yours can too! At Art Made Easy, you'll find lessons, ideas, tips, resources, and links to sites to help you as you create your own works of art. Just remember, as with anything new you learn to do, you improve with practice. But, if you're like me, you'll have a lot of fun as you do.

My cat LOVES eating this. It's like a treat for her so she starts meowing like crazy when I take the bag out - A must have for overall kitty's health!

Kittys vet gave her l-lysine in a $30 pump, fish flavored. He said pump on top of her food she'll eat it up. Well kitty didn't want anything to do with it. I searched and took a chance on this. she loves them and her sneezing has stopped. guess she had a l-lysine deficiency. I put on top of her food or give it to her as a snack. 1 a day. With all products I buy at Vita Cost it's doubtful you'll find a better price.

Cats love them
They seem to be helping some of my cats with a long standing issue related to respiratory and eye problems.

My Cats Love These Treats
These treats are a win-win. My cats love them, they have the highest dose of L-Lysine than comparable treats and the price is better than other L-Lysine treats I found. These are obviously more popular - they were back-ordered the first time and the number that could be shipped was limited. However, the second time, I was able to order what I wanted and I received them quickly. Most importantly, because these items move faster than the other treats I ordered so they were fresh and chewy. Even my pickiest cats devoured them.

My cats prefer this product than other chewables.
I bought the L-Lysine chewables, the daily best chewables, and the hairball chewables. Also I already have the calming chewables.
I compared these 4 kinds of chewables.
One of my two cats doesn't really like three chewables that much. But he loves the L-Lysine chewables.
I heard that L-Lysine strengthens cat's immunity.
I think that this nutrient is essential in winter especially.
I'd like to buy it again.
