A group of more than 30 UTC students attended the 57th Quadrennial Presidential Inauguration commemorating the 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, in Washington D.C. The trip is part of a learning opportunity about civic engagement and the political process.
They will also visit iconic iconic destinations including the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, Washington Monument, and the U.S National Archives.
The idea for the trip was initially conceived by students who worked with UTC faculty and staff to make it a reality.
"The ability to offer these unique learning experiences strengthens our efforts to provide students with distinctive learning opportunities that enhance their formal academic training,: Dr. John Delaney, Vice Chancellor of the Office of Student Development, said. "We have framed the trip as a rich, hands-on learning opportunity for students, and have used our QEP Think-Achieve model to ensure that the event is grounded as a thoughtful, engaged, and active academic experience."
To be considered for this trip, applicants were asked to identify their involvement with the sponsoring departments on campus, why they were interested in this trip, and what they hoped to gain from this experience. GPA, grades, and disciplinary records were all taken into consideration as well. More than 160 students applied and 32 were selected.
During the trip, students will define civic engagement and reflect on the personal responsibility of contributing to a community greater than one's self. Students will also research multiple political perspectives and frameworks of historical significance in the context of the U.S. presidential inauguration.

Guillermo Moscoso Rumors
Guillermo Moscoso Signs With Yokohama Bay Stars
Right-hander Guillermo Moscoso has agreed to sign with Nippon Professional Baseball's Yokohama Bay Stars, according to a report from Nikkan Sports. Moscoso is a client of Praver/Shapiro.
The 30-year-old posted a 5.10 ERA in 30 innings with a 31-to-21 K/BB ratio for the Giants last season. Moscoso has a 4.28 ERA in 222 2/3 Major League innings, but he's struggled since his 2011 season with the A's in which he posted a 3.38 ERA in 128 frames.
Moscoso began the 2013 season in the Cubs organization but was traded to the Giants for cash in July. San Francisco designated Moscoso for assignment in November, after which he cleared waivers and elected free agency.

Giants Designate Guillermo Moscoso For Assignment
TODAY: Moscoso has elected free agency, per the MLB transactions page, indicating that he cleared waivers and declined to accept an outright assignment in the San Francisco system.
NOVEMBER 20: The Giants announced that they have designated pitcher Guillermo Moscoso for assignment. In related news, San Francisco added center fielder Gary Brown, right-hander Kendry Flores, third baseman Adam Duvall and right-hander Hunter Strickland to the 40-man roster.
The Giants acquired Moscoso from the Cubs in exchange for cash or a player to be named back in July. Moscoso had a 3.93 ERA with 9.0 K/9 and 4.5 BB/9 with Triple-A Iowa but didn't fare quite as well in his short time on the Giants' varsity squad. Moscoso turned in a 5.10 ERA with 9.3 K/9 and 6.3 BB/9 in 30 innings of work.

Giants Designate Yusmeiro Petit For Assignment
The Giants have designated right-hander Yusmeiro Petit for assignment, tweets John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle. The move clears roster space for right-hander Guillermo Moscoso who was acquired from the Cubs on Friday.
Petit was added to the roster last Tuesday and appeared that night in the first game of a doubleheader against the Reds (and the second pitcher from that twinbill to be designated today). He tossed 5 1/3 innings of two-run relief while scattering six hits and striking out seven. Petit had made 12 starts for Triple-A Fresno before his recall posting a 5.24 ERA, 9.7 K/9, and 1.6 BB/9 in 68 2/3 innings.
This is the second time in four months the 28-year-old has been dropped from the Giants' 40-man roster, as he was outrighted last March. The Giants now have ten days to either trade, release, or outright Petit.

Giants Acquire Guillermo Moscoso
The Giants acquired pitcher Guillermo Moscoso from the Cubs in exchange for cash or a player to be named, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Moscoso was pitching for Triple-A Iowa with the Cubs, but he will report to the Giants' big-league team and will be activated Saturday.
Moscoso had a 3.93 ERA with 9.0 K/9 and 4.5 BB/9 with Iowa. He has pitched parts of four big-league seasons, appearing with the Rangers, Athletics and Rockies. Schulman indicates that the Giants have acquired Moscoso to add another starting pitching option. Moscoso started 21 games for the A's in 2011.

AL Central Notes: White Sox, Moscoso, Giambi
Links from the AL Central…
- Though the White Sox looked for ways of obtaining an impact left-handed bat, they didn't end up finding one, Scott Merkin of MLB.com writes. Manager Robin Ventura enters the season with a righty-heavy lineup, but it beats forcing the issue in the view of GM Rick Hahn "If it doesn't fit with the rest of what you are trying to do from a position player standpoint, we would be regretting come the middle of the season," the GM said. Hahn added that he'll be prepared to move aggressively in case a need for left-handed hitting emerges during the season.
- Hector Santiago doesn't see himself as a lock to make the White Sox, even though Ventura has strongly suggested the left-hander will break camp with the team, Merkin reports. Santiago said he doesn't consider himself to be on the team. "I've only got a year in and nothing guaranteed to me," he said. The 25-year-old posted a 3.33 ERA with 10.1 K/9 and 5.1 BB/9 in 70 1/3 innings in 2012.
- Royals right-hander Guillermo Moscoso said he won't miss pitching in the thin air of Coors Field, Dick Kaegel of MLB.com reports. The Royals claimed Moscoso from Colorado in November after he posted a 6.12 ERA with 8.5 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9 in 50 innings last year.
- Jason Giambi, who interviewed for the Rockies' managerial opening this past offseason, drew interest from other teams, including the Phillies, as a potential coach, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports. However, Giambi said he's enjoying Spring Training with the Indians and hopes to continue playing for a while. "I'm going to keep playing until they tear the uniform off or my body tells me it's time to go," he said.

Citizen Engagement
RFP-EZ, a system to make it easier to receive bids for certain services, was one of the noteable successes of the 2012 Presidential Innovation Fellows program. Launched in January, the system has already slashed bid prices and drawn hundreds of new businesses into federal contracting.
The White House's Presidential Innovation Fellows program has deployed 43 new recruits from around the country to serve 6- to 12-month tours of duty building on the program's first-year successes in 2012.
These private-sector imports will work directly with top government innovators to solve government-specific problems such as saving taxpayer dollars, spurring job creation and designing solutions that could help save lives during disasters.
Last year's initial class of 18 fellows experienced several major successes in tackling five inaugural projects, including RFP-EZ, a system created by one of last year's teams that makes it easier for the government to seek bids on certain IT services. The program attracted 270 new businesses to federal IT procurement and slashed bid prices by 30 percent compared to FedBizOpps, the government's standard procurement vehicle.

FCW: RFP-EZ delibers early value
FCW: Can RFP-EZ really change procurement?
This year's PIF program is a major expansion over last year's effort, according to a White House blog post authored by Jennifer Pahlka and Dan Tangherlini, deputy federal CTO for Government Innovation and acting administrator for the General Services Administration, respectively. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and Office of Management and Budget have partnered with GSA for the program's second round, hoping to ensure that fellow-driven innovations can be better distributed by GSA to myriad other federal agencies.
"Through this new partnership with GSA, which already works with every agency in the Federal Government, the prototype solutions that PIFs build will spread more efficiently throughout Government, enabling the program's positive outcomes to reach more people more quickly," Pahlka and Tangherlini wrote.
The expansion is also reflected in the increased number of projects fellows will undertake.
Some will work on second phases on last year's projects: RFPEZ, Blue Button, Open Data and MyUSA. Others will focus on the following all-new efforts: Disaster Response & Recovery, Cyber-Physical Systems, MyData Initiatives, Innovation Toolkit, 21st Century Financial Systems, Development Innovation Ventures and VA Modernization.

The Attachment Style Test
Their result for The Attachment Style Test ...
The Insect
64% Anxiety Over Abandonment and 28% Avoidance Of Intimacy
You want to be emotionally intimate with others, but you find that others are reluctant to get as close as you would like. You don't have very high self-esteem, which leaves you with a bit of a tendency to grovel. You're ever so grateful when someone notices you, but you'll leave when you sense you're not wanted. You like other people more than you like yourself, but if someone takes advantage of you, you'll leave eventually.

This will really help in triggering the treatment of the blisters as well as reduce the pain associated with it. Salt water is known to provide soothing properties as well as has the ability to treat inflammation. Swish the solution in the mouth and the tongue to get maximum benefits.
Baking Soda
Another effective home treatment for boosting the curing process of blisters on the tongue is to swish baking soda solution in the mouth. This can be done by mixing ½ a teaspoon of the powder in lukewarm water.It is known for its antibacterial and anti inflammatory properties that will also reduce pain on the tongue. It is a gradual process that needs to be followed at least 2-4 times in a day to get visible outcomes in about 10 days time.
Turmeric And Honey
Make a fresh paste of turmeric with raw and organic honey where about half a teaspoon of turmeric is mixed with a tablespoon of honey. Now apply this paste on the blisters on the tongue.
This should be done with a clean finger. This should be left for about 3 minutes to help it penetrate well into the blister. However, the paste should not be swallowed. Follow this twice everyday to get maximum advantage on the home treatment of blisters on the tongue.
Ice Application
Applying ice directly on the blister is another home remedy that you can use to your advantage. It will reduce the inflammation and the pain that you are experiencing in the mouth. Those who do not have ice can swish the mouth with ice cold water for the same results. This should be done on a routine basis.
Turmeric And Water Paste
A paste can also be prepared by mixing turmeric powder with water and then applied on the blister in the same way as mentioned above. The paste should not be consumed and should be cleared after about 3 minutes. The anti inflammation properties of turmeric will work brilliantly on the blisters.
Follow it daily for visible outcomes sooner rather than later. Turmeric can also be substituted with baking powder and the paste can again be applied in the same way to get same outcomes in hand.

Uncommon Ground
Archaeology and Early African America, 1650-1800
Winner of the Southern Anthropological Society's prestigious James Mooney Award, Uncommon Ground takes a unique archaeological approach to examining early African American life. Ferguson shows how black pioneers worked within the bars of bondage to shape their distinct identity and lay a rich foundation for the multicultural adjustments that became colonial America.Through pre-Revolutionary period artifacts gathered from plantations and urban slave communities, Ferguson integrates folklore, history, and research to reveal how these enslaved people actually lived. Impeccably researched and beautifully written.

OLYMPIA — A 16-year-old has been given a 15-year sentence for his role in a drive-by shooting that wounded another teen in Lacey for what prosecutors called a "schoolyard beef.'
Victor Torres pleaded guilty Tuesday in Thurston County Superior Court to assault charges.
The Olympian reports that he'll remain in the county juvenile jail until he's 18 and then be transferred to a state prison.
Prosecutors say he had been fighting with a 15-year-old and enlisted a friend with a gun to "hunt" the victim who was wounded in January in a leg.
The 18-year-old who is accused of firing the shot, Terrell Fox, is scheduled for trial later this year on assault charges.

Horology Collection
Image: Regulator clock (1865)
Source: Museum Victoria
The museum holds a significant collection of over 600 clocks and watches, dating from the 17th century to the present. It includes classic works in the history of timekeeping: a 1630s German table clock, beautiful watches by preeminent 18th century British and French makers, and accurate astronomical regulators. There are items of local historical significance, such as the No.1 clock of the Victorian Railways, installed in 1858, and common items, such as domestic alarm clocks.
Incredibly, this diverse collection resulted predominantly from the passions and generosity of two men, neither of whom were employed by the museum. Like several other museum collections, the horology collection owes its existence and breadth to a partnership between the museum and independent collectors in the community. Collector John Askew began lending clocks and watches to the museum from 1920, and donated much of the collection in 1941. Watchmaker Joseph Lowy began to actively lend and donate items from the late 1940s, and was appointed an honorary curator from 1953 to his death in 1979.
From 1952 the horological collection was displayed in full in a new set of showcases in Barry Gallery at the old museum building in Swanston Street. Visitors to the museum could explore a clear explanation of the history of timekeeping, from sundials to the latest electronic watch. Although the emphasis was on technical developments, many of the clocks and watches in the collection are beautiful examples of the decorative arts.
The current emphasis is on acquiring watches and clocks that have a Victorian and Australian historical significance or association.

Bought diced tomatoes with chiles by mistake... what should I do with it?
- c
- cheesecake17 Sep 26, 2008 12:15 PM
I bought two cans of Hunt's diced tomatoes with mild green chiles by mistake.
Anyone got some recipes or ideas for what to do with them?
One of my favorite ingredients for braising fish, turkey thighs/drumsticks, or spicing up just about any recipe that calls for plain tomatoes, or tomatoes and bell pepper. They aren't very hot (though of course tastebuds vary wildly here), and my wife hates sweet peppers, so I always have a can or three in the pantry. Good in chili too, of course. I've also made some killer mac'n'cheese with a can of these, well-drained, mixed in.
re: Will Owen
How do you braise fish?
re: Sam Fujisaka
It's not as difficult as smoking them. At least you don't have to figure out which end to light.
re: alanbarnes
Soggy and hard to light.
You could make the ever popular Velveeta dip using them instead of Rotel. Add a little cumin and dip in the tortilla chips...If you have never tried it, you'll be surprised how good it is!
They will also pair nicely with beans - black or pinto, for a side dish or the beginning to a soup or stew.
re: meatn3
Rotel dip was the first thing I thought of. I first had it in 1996 when I lived in KC. They put browned ground beef in it. I thought it was soup! It's salty goodness, great with booze.
re: Boccone Dolce
I sometimes lived on it in college. A bunch of us shared a large house and had divided into "cook" teams. The weeks that one particular team was cooking would find the rest of us getting filled up on this at happy hour at the bar a few blocks away. You could nurse a nickel beer and eat endless amounts of dip and chips!
This is the only thing I've used Velveeta for in over 30 years - but it seems to work better than "real" cheese...
I use that as a base for salsa, add some red onions, cilantro, lime juice, hot sauce and an apple or peach - whalllah - great salsa.
Cook some white rice, black eyed peas, and top that with the tomato mixture. Serve with real cornbread. Nothing else necessary.
I use the diced green tomatoes with mild green chilies all the time as a topping for meat loaf. Here is a recipe I made this week. You can omit the can of diced green chilies I add into the meat mixture if you want. You can also substitute the Emeril seasoning with another seasoning blend. (BTW: Rotel is the brand name I usually buy). Oh, and the Velveeta dip is addictive.
Meat loaf
1 pound ground chuck lean
1 egg
1 can diced green chilies
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small can tomato sauce 8 oz
¾ cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Emeril Essence seasoning
½ cup ketchup
Combine meat, onion, ketchup, egg, chilies, seasonings and breadcrumbs. Form into loaf shape and place in baking dish. Top with the cans of Rotel tomatoes and the tomato sauce.
Bake approximately 50 minutes at 375.
re: mschow
I think I'm going to try your meatloaf recipe. I've never really made it before- bad childhood memories. Does the topping get crunchy or melt into the meat?
re: cheesecake17
No. It just sits there and thickens. I was taught to lay a couple of strips of bacon on top. You can add the tomato sauce later or serve on the side and the top will get drier and crunchier if you turn the heat up towards the end. Try substituting crumbled crackers or panko for some or all the bread. It's a totally different texture and not as mushy. I don't know what Emeril "Essence" is; sweat? I add worchestershire sauce and mustard; sometimes mushrooms. There are a Brazilian ways to make meatloaf.
Use a good, lean meat.
Oh man my aunt makes this dip using the diced tomatoes and chiles with cream cheese sausage and cheeder cheese with fritos scoops...so easy so great for parties...below is a link of my aunt actually cooking it with the recipe...
re: VeniceBchKing
CUTE!! I totally agree with her on the Jimmy Dean Sage sausage...it has great flavor and not much fat...I use it for my seldom-made sausage and biscuits...it really is the best!
A quick one-pot meal in our house:
Brown half a pound to a pound of cubed chicken thigh meat in oil. Reduce the heat and add an onion, chopped, and a couple of garlic cloves, minced. Cook until the onion softens. Add a cup of rice, sautee a little longer, then dump in a can of tomatoes w/ chile. Season with cumin, cayenne, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, and adding chicken stock or water as necessary until the rice is done. Serve topped with crumbled queso fresco or other cheese of choice.
re: Vetter
Throw in blender w/ ice, tequilla, and fresh lime juice. Serve in glass w/ salt rim.
A Bloody Margarita.
One pork shoulder
One can of Ro-Tel
One bottle of Corona (any light bodied beer will do in a pinch though)
Lime juice
First, sear the shoulder on the stove. Don't worry about cooking it all the way through. You can't possibly. Just get it brown and crispy on all sides. Salt and pepper the meat as it's cooking. While that's going on, quarter your onions and peel your garlic. Throw it in your crockpot. Put the seared meat on top, then pour in the Ro-Tel and about half the beer. Lid it and let it cook on high for at least six hours. You want it to be fork tender.
Take the meat from pot (I save the stock for soups) and put it on a cookie sheet. It should be just falling apart right now. Shred it with a fork or by hand, then put it under the broiler for a few minutes. You want it to crisp up a bit. Then add chopped, fresh cilantro, lime juice and sea salt to taste. Mix it together and serve.
re: northside food
"Lid it and let it cook on high for at least six hours."
Yikes! You did mean to say "low" instead of "high" I hope. :-)
re: 2chez mike
Probably. =) It's been awhile since I'm made this one.
re: northside food
Oh yeah!!! I was scrolling down to the bottom to suggest this exact thing. It's the first thing that occurred to me when I saw the question.
If you don't have a crockpot, just cook it in a very slow, low oven ( 200 F or so) covered, for a long time.
We love it in warm tortillas, with sour cream, a few more tomatoes, and shredded lettuce. It's also excellent, albiet completely untradition, as a filling for bierocks.
Pour over a flank steak in a baking dish add some chopped garlic and slow & low braise on 250 for a few hours....pull apart in shreds for a great Cuban Ropa Vieja. Serve over rice.

Earnings season lets consumers see just how much they're paying up for certain brands, and how investors fare. USA Today reports.» Read More
Stocks rallied Friday as a more than $4 a barrel drop in oil prices offset the drag of Fannie Mae's earnings miss. It's going to be the same story next week: Energy prices. Even if there are disappointments in CPI or Wal-Mart's earnings, investors are expected to overlook them as the drop in gas prices puts more money in consumers' pockets.
All major U.S. Indices ended the week in positive territory, led by a 4.46% gain in the NASDAQ Composite Index. Commodity prices continued to fall broadly across the board, with oil prices tumbling $9.90 this week.
It just goes to show you, a little attitude never hurts: Stocks clawed back all of the prior session's losses as oil hit its lowest point since May and consumer confidence improved.

Brach's Candy Corn Nougats
I've purchased quite a few candy corn themed candies this year, so it was easy to toss the Brach's Candy Corn Nougats in my basket as well.
Brach's makes a variety of holiday versions of their individually wrapped nougats, but this is the first year they've made a Halloween Candy Corn version. The bag holds 12 ounces of three different color varieties of the candies. They come in yellow, white and orange, just like the layers of candy corn and each features a little image of candy corn at the center. Like many of Brach's other candies, these are made in Mexico.
Nougat is already very similar to Candy Corn in its ingredients. It's basically sugar, glucose (sugar syrup), honey and a little protein (in this case egg whites, some candy corn uses gelatin). It's a little different from taffy in that it's usually a bit softer chew and has a mild honey flavor. Nougat is usually a smoother texture than fondant, but they should both have a clean and fresh melt on the tongue without much tooth-sticky.
It's hard to say that these are bad when they succeed at being exactly what they're supposed to be. They're a soft nougat that tastes like candy corn. So that's good.
The chew is soft, really too soft. They're not quite foamy or puffy like a marshmallow, but not chewy like a taffy. They're not quite melt in your mouth divine like a French nougat, either.

Russell Stover Big Bite Apple Pie & Pumpkin
Ah, yes, a holiday candy with a bit of cognitive dissonance.
This is a pumpkin shaped candy that's flavored like Apple Pie. This is really nothing new, as Russell Stover has more than half a dozen holiday shaped treats that are flavored like baked treats: Carrot Cake, Birthday Cake, Wedding Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Gingerbread, Cookie Dough and Red Velvet. The packaging looks pretty much like the other Russell Stover one ounce pumpkin shaped candies, so I had to look carefully on the shelves to find it.
The Russell Stover Apple Pie Pumpkin is an apple pie flavored fudgy center covered in milk chocolate. At only one ounce, it's a small little treat.
Since there are two versions of the Apple Pie on shelves, I thought I'd compare them.
The milk chocolate pumpkin is compact and has a nice enrobed milk chocolate coating. It's not overly sweet but is milky and creamy. It's a nice balance to the fudgy, grainy filling. It's like a spice fudge center. It's mostly a spice blend of cinnamon and nutmeg maybe with a hint of lemon zest but there's also an apple flavor that kind of floats above it all. There's just enough salt to keep it interesting. Some of the other cake flavored pumpkins have actual cake mix in them (uncooked flour) but this is just a sugary, buttery center.
I enjoy these sorts of confections in small quantities and the chocolate kept it all together well, even if it kind of kept it from tasting like actual apple pie.
Russell Stover has started making year-round versions of some of their usual holiday items. The Big Bite line includes the Big Bite S'mores (which aren't sold in any other format to date) and some Big Bite Caramel Apples. The Big Bite Apple Pie actually accomplishes an Apple Pie experience a bit better than the Pumpkin.
Like the Big Bite S'mores, this confection features a graham cracker base.
The Big Bite Apple Pie is twice the weight of the regular Pumpkin but features a large graham cracker base. The milk chocolate coating seems a little thinner, but the spiced penuche fudge filling is about the same. The addition of the graham cracker really brought home the pie notes, but the lack of actual apples and the anomalous existence of milk chocolate in an otherwise chocolateless pie kept this from being the best emulation ... but taking it for what it is, it's a fun little candy. It's different, it works.
In some other news, Russell Stover was purchased this year by Lindt & Sprungli, the same company that already owns Ghirardelli Chocolate. This makes Lindt the third largest chocolate company in the United States (behind Hershey's and Mars, bumping Nestle out of third). It will be interesting to see what sort of changes Lindt will make, and I'm hoping they're only improvements but they don't lose this quirky little seasonal line.

Mike and Ike Minion Mix
If you liked the Despicable Me movies, and more specifically, the Minions, might I interest you some Mike and Ike: Minion Mix?
The box is quite cute. Both the front and back feature Minion characters. (The back is formatted to stand on its end instead of the long side, and has a Minion holding up a banana.)
The mix is not very mixy, it's just two flavors: Banana and Blueberry. The yellow and blue colors go thematically with the colors of the Minion worker overalls and their skin (?) color.
The blue Blueberry Mike and Ikes are blue. Very blue. The blueberry flavor is, well, a flavor. It doesn't taste like blueberries, but it's pleasant enough. It's tangy and sweet.
The yellow Banana Mike and Ike are great. I don't know if they've done a straight banana before (plenty of banana blends), so this was a pleasure since it's such an uncommon flavor. It's sweet with no weird acetone burn to it. It's just, well sweet banana with a little toffee note like it's very ripe.
This particular mix hit 100% for me, as I liked both flavors and didn't need to do any picking. They combined nicely, but were good on their own. I can't think of anything to improve it. It's a quality movie tie in, instead of just throwing some movie logos on an existing product, they made something that had a fun little flair that goes with the show. (Kind of like the Jelly Belly mixes that have been coming out lately.)

Brach's Apple Pie Candy Corn
Brach's has quite a few new candy products on shelves, including some for Halloween. One of the new seasonal twists on Candy Corn is Brach's Apple Pie Candy Corn.
Brach's Candy Corn is widely available this year in a variety of flavors and shapes. I was able to find my 4.2 ounce peg bag at the Walgreen's near my house and on sale. The previous bags I'd seen were over 10 ounces, which is too much of a novelty flavor. (But I admit that I did buy two bags of the Halloween Mellocremes.)
There is no description on the package of what the Apple Pie flavor is supposed to be. Just a picture on the front of a slice of apple pie with a dollop of whipped cream on top. I'm amused the shape of a slice of pie and a Candy Corn piece a similar, though the stacked nature of the Candy Corn layers doesn't say pie.
It smells like a bad candle (of course I just watched this, so maybe I have Bath & Body works on my mind).
Brach's Candy Corn is always some of the nicest at stores. The pieces are elegant and tall, and are unusually durable. Many other Candy Corn brands are easily broken or have a problem with sticking together.
These are subtle, just a creamy white base and a caramel middle/top.
The flavor is definitely like apple, like a baked apple. It's very sweet but has a little hint of salt as well (75 mg per serving). The apple flavor is like a hint of juice, but there's no citrus tartness at all. The cinnamon note is very mild, but welcome.
It's not an ideal flavor for adaptation ... though I could see a whole Pie Candy Corn series, with Chocolate Cream Pie, Lemon Meringue Pie, Cherry Pie, Pecan Pie and of course they already have Pumpkin Spice.
Like other Brach's mellocremes, this contains gelatin so it's not suitable for vegetarians and not kosher. Though the packaging makes note in several places that they're America's Candy Maker (tm), these were made in Mexico.

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

Research and analytics firm Blueocean Market Intelligence announced today the results of a fourth quarter study analyzing awareness, perceptions and usage opportunities in the consumer cloud computing space. The study found that consumers' understanding of cloud computing remains low, despite an increase in usage, since this study was first conducted last year. A complimentary live webinar will be held on March 13 to offer a preview of more key findings from the full report.
The study, based on Blueocean Market Intelligence's 360 DiscoveryTM approach, involved online research, social media analysis, vendor interviews and in-depth consumer interviews in the United States, Germany and India.
"Cloud computing is growing rapidly. Today, the growth is coming not only from the business segment, but also from the consumer segment, where the opportunities are endless," said Blueocean Market Intelligence Senior Vice President Ajith Sankaran. "While significant research exists surrounding the overall cloud computing industry, little research is focused on the consumer segment."
A complimentary live webinar is set for March 13 at 1 p.m. EDT. Attendees will learn about the state of consumer cloud computing, current adoption patterns and barriers that need to be overcome in order for consumer cloud computing to truly become mainstream. Sankaran will share insights from this fourth quarter study including:
- Where is the growth in consumer cloud computing coming from?
- Why, even after a steady increase in usage, consumer "understanding" of cloud services remains low?
- Why is "consumer understanding" important?
- What are the major concerns among consumers when it comes to cloud computing?

Too many Jesuses around here, and deeply invested people, probably due to them being ex-homeless, which is sad. But a reality.
Poisson, do you spend your time giving money and helping the homeless? Do you go and give your credit card to a homeless "here you go, man. Have fun"? Really, really? And why are you so against people taking their picture? What's the big deal, except the fact that you were once a homeless and heavily biased?
I don't want to sound like a a-hole but really, why should i go out of my way caring for them? I give them a buck when i feel like it and, although I never take their picture, I won't feel bad if I had a sudden urge to shoot 10,000 shots tomorrow morning. Who cares.
