Big Mo' Bars: Peanut Butter & Creamy Caramel
I've never made any secrets of my dislike of the cheap Palmer candies that are so ubiquitous at Easter. The one thing they've always had going for them, though, is that they're cute.
Well, Palmer didn't even capitalize on attractiveness in their new candy bar line called Big Mo'. I mean, why bother when you have Dale Earnhardt, Jr. on the package. The packages seem to have some sort of woodgrain on the lettering, which lends itself to an association with NASCAR especially well. I wasn't going into this with high hopes, but really, this statement from Dale Earnhardt, Jr. in this article is really too much.
The bars come in two varieties at the moment: Milk Chocolate with Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate with Creamy Caramel. If you pay special attention to the wrapper you'll notice that the words milk chocolate are in teensy lowercase letters and the Creamy Caramel part is huge all caps about five times the size. See, they're being responsible and telling you that it's not about the chocolate.
The Big Mo' Milk Chocolate with Peanut Butter is a large, king sized bar clocking in at 2.5 ounces. It's divided into 10 sections, each filled with a smidge of roasted peanut butter filling.
I have to admit that the chocolate was far better than I expected. Smooth and very sweet and lacking a bit of chocolate bunch, it wasn't waxy and complemented the darker flavors of the peanut butter very well. There's not quite enough peanut butter in there for my tastes, but this isn't about replicating the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, I think it's about creating a new bar.
The portion is far too huge for me (as are most king sized), and they do call the whole 2.5 ounces a single portion which clocks in at 380 calories.
The Big Mo' Milk Chocolate with Creamy Caramel also sports two different designs on its ten sections. The top row has the Dale Jr signature and the bottom says Big Mo'.
The Creamy Caramel bar breaks well at the section lines without any oozing, as is often the hazard with Caramellos. There were a lot of voids in this bar, little holes from air bubbles. There's not a lot of caramel in each little section, which means that the proportions are heavy on the mediocre chocolate. In this case there's no salty peanut butter to balance it out. Instead it's a strange goo they call creamy caramel. It's not glossy, instead it looks more like a thick gravy.
It has a strong woodsy taste to it, not in the slightest bit buttery as the description "creamy" would have indicated. A little on the nutty side of flavor and not a bad texture really, but not enough to balance out the super-sweet chocolate.
While I had some trepidation at the brand and a little irritation with Dale Jr for teaming up with them, I don't think they're bad bars. They're far too sweet for me and I think the portion is ridiculous (especially given the caloric density of the peanut butter bar). Cut these in half. I don't think they will survive the test of time, as history bears out that vanity candy bars never do. I haven't seen these in stores yet, but I expect you'll see them at the usual places that sell Palmer products, such as 99 Cent Stores and other dollar chains, but they could pop up at convenience stores. (Here's the page on the official website that lists stores.)
Jamie at Candy Addict stopped short of calling the Peanut Butter one Awesomely Addictive and didn't care much for the Caramel.

Sconza 70% Dark Chocolate Toffee Almonds
There was nothing wrong with the elegant simplicity of a chocolate covered almond. It could hardly be improved upon. Or could it?
Sconza introduced Dark Chocolate Toffee Almonds featuring "70% cacao international blend chocolate" at the All Candy Expo last month. I was really looking forward to them, as I think Sconza makes great panned candies, especially nuts.
Sconza is based in Oakland, California, one of the best confectionary areas in the country. Sconza has an interesting product line that includes such wonderful items like Jordanettes (Jordan Almonds), incredible toffee coated nuts and even a line of impossibly-large-to-eat jawbreakers.
This new chocolate covered almond capitalizes on one of those things they do so well, toffeed nuts.
Each generously sized almond is covered in a crunchy and thin coating of butter toffee. It's salty and crispy and provides a satisfying crunch when biting through the thick coating of very dark chocolate.
The chocolate is strong, with dark fruity overtones and some coffee notes. The almonds are fresh and crunchy and provide a mellow counterbalance to the salty toffee and rich chocolate.
I love these. They're only vaguely sweet, so I don't feel sick after eating a handful. At the same time only one or two are extremely satisfying. They're beautiful to look at smell positively divine.
I haven't seen these in stores yet, but I've found other Sconza toffee and nut items at places like Bristol Farms (a high end grocer). I don't know what the retail price is, but I think $4.00 for a bag would be such a deal.

Terra Nostra Pocket Bars
Terra Nostra is a favorite chocolate brand of mine. I know, I've never written about their bars before. I've been buying the Organic Dark Chocolate with Pecans and Raisins since I first saw it at Trader Joe's ... I'm guessing at least six years ago. I was never a fan of chocolate and raisins until I met Trader Joe and he changed my mind with his wonderful dark chocolate covered raisins in a tub. With that in mind, I gave that bar a try, drawn by the pecans and dark chocolate and pretty well sold on the addition of the tangy, chewy raisins.
It's not the most complex bar in the world, but it's a good all around contender when it comes to satisfaction. My biggest problem with it? It's too big. Yes, I know that the 3.5 ounce size is pretty popular when it comes to premium bars, but it's just too big for me to finish in one sitting and I want a lot of variety in my life.
Imagine my pleasure at seeing that Terra Nostra is bring out a new line of "Pocket Bars". At only 1.5 ounces, which means a nice sized portion of chocolate, and they even come with a little zazz to make them more like candy bars.
Each bar is four sections, slightly domed, for most of them to accommodate a filling of some sort.
Creamy Caramel in Satin Milk Chocolate - this was an excellent bar, far superior to most other single-serve caramel bars I've had. The milk chocolate is rich, creamy and has a lot of the complex dairy flavors to it. The caramel, though rather syrupy is salty and smooth with a pretty good hit of butter to it. (7 out of 10)
Creamy Caramel in 60% Dark Robust Chocolate - this was a nice bar! The dark chocolate is robust, just like they say, with some coffee notes that set off the salty, sweet and gooey caramel center. I'd prefer a caramel that wasn't quite so gooey (think Caramello) and it does have a little bit of a grain to it. The whole thing comes together nicely. (7 out of 10)
Goji Berries and Pink Himalayan Mineral Sea Salt in 73% Dark Chocolate - this one took away all the fun of being a candy bar and injected a bunch of trendy items. Goji berries are also known as wolfberries; they're little red berries (related to tomatoes and deadly nightshade) about the size of a peanut, they're always sold dried. Goji berries tangy, kind of dry and leathery; though they do have some distinctive flavors, but they're also really fibery. I'm often left with some piece that feels like a wad of chewed paper - really, I shouldn't have to spit bits of my chocolate bar out. The chocolate itself doesn't taste salty, just less sweet (but it's hard to do a one for one comparison with the others since this is the only 73% dark bar in the range). Honestly, this bar just clicked with a bunch of my pet peeves about trendy foods ... if you want to read something really fun, try this piece from the Sydney Morning Herald about the goji berry. (5 out of 10)
Pomegranate Truffle - a base of 60% cacao dark chocolate has a rich chocolate truffle filling flavored with pomegranate. The dark chocolate is creamy, but not too dark or dry. The truffle center is a light and creamy truffle, not greasy but smooth and of course with a tangy & berry bite of pomegranate. The pomegranate kind of overwhelms most of the chocolate flavors, but blends so well with the texture. (8 out of 10)
All the bars are certified organic ... not that it makes them healthy or anything. The Pomegranate Truffle and Goji Berry dark bars are suitable for vegans, however they are made on machinery that also processes dairy (and peanuts, soy and tree nuts). Terra Nostra also participates in Equi-Trade programs, though their bars are not specifically certified Fair Trade. They're fun little bars and if presented with an array of commercial mass-produced bars and these, if price is not the deciding factor, you might want to give them a try.

Toblerone Single Peaks
When I was a kid one of the prized chocolate bars to get in a Christmas stocking was a Toblerone bar. They were huge and exotic. Pretty to look at and certainly unique in their composition: milk chocolate with almond nougat bits.
Times have changed and Toblorone aren't so hard to find any longer. Toblerone is named for both the inventor of the confection, Theodor Tobler and torrones, the honey and almond nougat found in the chocolate. The shape is also distinctive (and protected by trademark), each piece a little triangle representing the Swiss Alps. The traditional bar is a series of twelve peaks. The single pieces are now sold in assortments and may be my perferred way of enjoying them.
The Toblerone is now made by Kraft, but before that it was made by Suchard (which was later swallowed by Kraft in Europe). Whether this has changed the quality of the chocolate is up for debate. I remember Toblerone being better when I was a kid, but there could be any number of reasons I appreciated it more.
The Milk Chocolate peak smells mildly of milk and coconut with a little chocolate touch. It has a pretty soft bite to it, so it's not at all stiff and waxy. The honey notes of the hard nougat bits and almonds come out immediately, and if you're a chewer, they add a little light texture. It's rather sweet, but also rather different from the overtly milky Swiss chocolates I've become accustomed to.
The second iteration of the Toblerone was Toblerone Dark in 1969.
It has a pleasant fruity overtone to the chocolate. It's semi-sweet, so it's not too dark, but still has a good melt. It's a little grainy, a little chalky feeling towards the end but the abundant torrone bits kind of cover that up well.
The nutty notes from the nougat also blends well. This is the first time I think I've tried the dark bar, and it doesn't really work for me. I'm completely missing the honey flavor from the nougat.
It's very sweet: throat searingly sweet. It's a good thing each piece is only two bites.
Toblerone White came along in 1973.
Though Toblerone calls this a "white confection" the fat in there is cocoa butter (so it really is white chocolate). So no worries about hydrogenated oils! It certainly smells strongly of Easter baskets and vanillin.
The milk flavors are very strong here, so strong it's almost like eating a block of sweet vanilla cheese or something. The nice thing about it is that it does enhance the honey of the nougat,
Now this one is pretty cool. I have no idea what it's called, as it's not really on the Toblerone website. I'm calling it the Toblerone Stack and it features a hefty base of the traditional Milk Chocolate Toberlone and a little white cap of the White Toblerone.
Maybe they're called Matterhorns. While the white chocolate one was far too much white chocolate, the balance of 3 to 1 milk chocolate actually works here.
The white chocolate makes the honey and vanilla notes pop even more and the milk chocolate keeps it grounded with the chocolate flavors. I know there used to be a candy bar in the States that had a trio of flavors stacked, the only current mass-produced bar I could find is the Australian Nestle Triple Decker (contains Strawberry, Milk & White).
The Toblerone Praline was introduced in 1997. It may be the only format they're available in (I've never seen them in bar form). They come in a smart red wrapper.
The outside shell is pure milk chocolate, no nougat bits in there. The inside is a softer chocolate cream studded with the almond and honey torrone. There seems to be a larger proportion of almonds in there than usual as well.
It has a very distinct and creamy melt like a truffle, but completely lacking in the honey flavors and coconut scent of the original Milk Chocolate.
I really like these Single Peaks and would love to buy them for Christmas for putting in stockings or perhaps just in a candy dish. I don't think they'd quite work for Halloween as an individually wrapped candy. Besides the fact that they're probably absurdly expensive for giving away to kids you don't even know the wrappers aren't sealed (just twisted) so it's possible that vigilant parents would just throw them out (or maybe they'd take them from the kids pointing out that they weren't sealed to protect them but actually eat them).
I got these as samples from All Candy Expo but of course there's no American website just for Toblerone, but here's the page on the Kraft site.
Has anyone seen them in stores?

Sixlets & Limited Edition Dark Chocolate Flavored Sixlets
Here's one of those candies that I only saw in my Trick-or-Treat haul: Sixlets. Oh sure, they were probably in stores that I frequented. They come in a variety of packets, including the "changemaker" size that holds eight little candy spheres and used to sell for a two cents.
The big reason I shunned Sixlets was I was never quite sure what they were. Are they like M&Ms? Are they candy coated peanuts? Are they a jawbreaker?
Eating them never really answered those questions. They definitely don't have nuts in them, but taste a little nutty. They're not like M&Ms, though there is a chocolate-like center. They're not jawbreakers, in fact the shell is pretty thin.
Sixlets are currently made by Oak Leaf, who makes bubble gum and other confections in Canada that are usually sold in bulk and dispensed in gumball machines that are sold by the handful. Before that they were made by Hershey's, which purchased the Ovation brand that made Sixlets under management of Leaf (they also made Whoppers, which Hershey's kept).
Sixlets are certainly cute. They come in vivid colors: Yellow, Green, Red, Orange and Brown. They're spherical and consistent looking, with a shiny candy shell. The center is a malty-flavored mockolate. Made from partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil, sugar and milk protein, they're not really that appealing as a confectionery item to eat on their own. Cocoa powder is way down at the fifth position on the list of ingredients. The candy shells are pretty ordinary, except for the orange one, which has a light orange flavor to it (just as Smarties from the UK do). The mockolate barely has a chocolate taste, and the whole thing is a little grainy and a bit greasy.
What they lack in taste they more than make up for with economy and portion control. What other candy comes in little tubes of 8 pieces? Not to mention the fact that each little tube has only 35 calories!
Why Oak Leaf came out with the Limited Edition Dark Chocolate Flavored Sixlets is beyond me. The regular ones barely taste like chocolate and any health benefits of "dark chocolate" will be ruined by the use of partially hydrogenated vegetable oil.
The package is attractive, the Sixlets mascot is some sort of an insect ... well, maybe he's an insect, he only has four legs. And he wears glasses ... and wants us to eat one of his segments.
These little packets were unmarked. Just generic clear cellophane tubes with little unbranded spheres inside.
They are similarly attractive to their original counterparts, with a light brown shell in the mix instead of a yellow one. The orange is also orange flavored here as well.
The taste of the "dark chocolate" isn't really noticeably different from the regular Sixlets. They're just as disappointing as the regular Sixlets ... except that I paid for this whole bag (I picked the other little guys up at the All Candy Expo).
There are differing stories about why they're called Sixlets. The current packaging has them in tubes with 8 pieces or 20. Some folks say that they used to come in tubes that had six for a penny. Others say that they came in boxes that had six individual boxes in each package and that's how they were written up in the wholesale catalogs. It could be that someone just thought it sounded like a good name ... maybe they were into numerology. The number six represents "Reaction/flux. Responsibility" according to Wikipedia. If anyone else has any theories, I'm happy to entertain them.
Caitlin at Candy Addict has a great fondness for them and Bad-Candy.com, well, thinks they're bad.
Like them if you will ... just don't call them chocolate. They might be good for decorating ... the rest of these are going in the Trick-or-Treat bowl (don't worry, I'll give the kids something good and just slip these in while they're not looking).

Dove Promises (Caramel & Almonds)
Dove has been adding to their line of Promises, the little chocolate nuggets they sell. It's nice they have such a diversified line and I do enjoy a little foil wrapped treat. Lately they've been stuffing caramel see review) inside those little nuggets of milk or dark chocolate. Now they've added a few more versions of those to the line by flavoring the caramel:
Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Flavored Caramel - this was less caramel and more like a hazelnut creme. It had a nice nutty flavor to it, though I didn't quite identify it as hazelnut. A little salty hit cut through the sticky sweetness of the milk chocolate.
Most of my little pieces were dented. I don't know if that was a function of the travel or if they're particularly delicate. (5 out of 10)
The Mint Caramel Dark Chocolate terrible, terrible pieces of confectionery nonsense. Gobbledygook, I tell ya! Gibberish! There's nothing wrong with caramel, nothing wrong with dark chocolate, nothing wrong with mint. But put them all together and you get this humongo double take of "what the heck were they thinking?"
The caramel is just weird - it's like it's over emulsified, if there is such a thing. It's gooey, but has no buttery element, no burnt sugary elements ... it's become its own strange, pudding-like product. That's it! It's like peppermint-butterscotch pudding ... with dark chocolate. It's just all kinds of wrong when I think too hard. (4 out of 10)
The strangeness continued with the Dark Chocolate Raspberry Caramel.
Luckily I didn't have a whole bag of each of those, just a little handful ... and now they're on their way to Kimberly, who won the drawing! (I should have had her sign some sort of a waiver.) Again, it's like raspberry flavored butterscotch pudding. I just didn't like all the flavors together and the salty hit of the caramel with the raspberry was just over the top. (4 out of 10)
The happy news is that the rest of this is all good. The more traditional new offerings to the Dove Promises line are just the regular milk and dark chocolate with some crushed almonds added in.
Almonds are a personal favorite of mine, I practically live on them (really, I eat them just about every day as a snack). What's always bothered me about Dove chocolate is its foolish consistency ... it feels too perfect, too manufactured and lacking any personality. The crushed almonds in the Dove Dark Chocolate with Almonds fix that.
They add some texture, they add some extra flavor, a little crunch ... they just complete the Dove Dark Chocolate. Any trepidation I had about their chocolate has disappeared with the added element. (8 out of 10)
The Dove Milk Chocolate with Almonds benefits similiarly from the crushed almonds. It makes the milk chocolate, which was always a little sticky sweet to me, more malty and rich. The milky flavors now take on a toasted, darker tone.
They please me. (7 out of 10)
A single Milk Chocolate with Almonds has about 45 calories in it.
I don't have the nutritional info on the Caramel line or the Dark Chocolate with Almonds, just the Milk Chocolate with Almonds, as that's the only one I have the complete packaging for. I'm not sure when these are showing up in stores, they're not on the Dove website yet. Anyone see them in stores yet?

Java Twix
One the much anticipated Limited Edition items at the All Candy Expo (at least for me) was the new Java Twix.
The cookie and caramel covered in chocolate combination is pretty flexible and creating new versions of this doesn't mess with the essential Twix-ness (just like there are many different cream and chocolate variations for the KitKat).
I've been searching for a good coffee flavored candy bar for years, for a country so obsessed with coffee it's rather surprising that we don't have one. (Yes, I'm aware of the Coffee Crisp and it just doesn't do it for me.)
The bar is the standard construction: a chocolate cookie with a stripe of coffee-flavored caramel covered in milk chocolate.
It smells sweet and a bit like caramel and graham crackers but not much like coffee at first.
Once broken in half and the caramel revealed it has a pleasant roasted-coffee aroma. The caramel is a bit salty with an actual authentic-tasting coffee flavor to it (in addition to the natural and artificial flavors they list espresso ground coffee as an ingredient). The chocolate cookie is crumbly and crunchy with it's own salty contribution. The milk chocolate on the outside is super sweet but pulls it together.
I didn't like the bar much when I first tried it out on the floor (I split a package with Ginny). But I have to admit that it was day two and I'd really only been eating candy for 36 hours (except for an awesome pile of shrimp at a party the night before).
But with the clarity of a lone bar on my desk without the clutter of a gagillion other flavors in my mouth and a billion other conversations flitting by on the show floor ... I really like this bar. I think it's the best Twix bar I've ever had. Yes, it's still a little sweet for me, but in combination with some nearly black coffee, it's growing on me.
You can expect these to start showing up later this year (reported release date is December 2007). In other news, if you were a fan of the Triple Chocolate Twix, it's actually back in the miniature form. Mars released a few "autumn mixes" this year (that included the Vanilla, Strawberry & Mocha 3 Musketeers). The Twix one has regular Twix, Twix Dark Chocolate and Twix Triple Chocolate. I found them at RiteAid in the Halloween candy aisle.
I hope the Twix Java at least finds its way into a seasonal bag ... and in dark chocolate please!
UPDATE 9/29/2009: Mars has announced that TWIX Java will become part of their permanent line of candies. You can expect them in stores starting in April 2010.

M&Ms Razzberry - Limited Edition
I'm a little late to this Limited Edition Milk Chocolate Razzberry M&Ms story, but mostly because I couldn't find them anywhere in Los Angeles. I tried all my usual haunts (RiteAid, Walgreen's, Von's, CVS, Target & 7-11) and finally found them Wednesday night at the Dollar Tree in Harbor City on my way to San Pedro.
The bag felt a little light, and it is. It's only 1.5 ounces instead of the usual 1.74 ounces for the Peanut variety or 1.69 ounces for the Milk Chocolate. (Of course the Pirate Pearls ones were similiarly scant.)
The bag is a pleasant hot pink and urges me to "Get Razzed" ... which as far as my understanding of the lingo that the kids use these days, that means, "Get Harassed." Okely Dokely!
At first when I dumped these out to take their photo I thought I got a bad bag. The color looks completely off. Now if you just handed me a bowl of them, I might say, "Oh, what a lovely muted pink color!" But because of the brightness of the package, this feels like it clashes, which makes me feel like it's unintended. But looking around at other photos on Flickr of the candies, it seems like they're supposed to be this way.
The size and shape is also irregular. Some are the same size as typical Milk Chocolate M&Ms and others are as big as the now-discontinued Mega M&Ms. I rather like the regularity of M&Ms when spread out on my desk when eating them, but these just didn't please me as much with their appearance.
The candies smell, like, well, someone spilled a bottle of raspberry after-bath spritz. I've spent a lot of time with fresh raspberries. When I was a kid, for several years when we lived in Ohio we had a raspberry patch in the back yard which was absurdly productive. While they weren't wild berries, they certainly weren't like the commercial ones sold in stores today. They were on the small side but bursting with flavor, a combination of sweet, tart and floral. By the time I was a teenager and we moved away, I was so spoiled by the real thing that I couldn't stand raspberry flavored things or bring myself to spend $5 for a teensy little portion of watery-tasting fresh berries at the grocery store.
The Milk Chocolate is okay, for some reason it tastes sweeter than the regular Milk Chocolate M&Ms (remember, I've eaten a lot of those lately), it could be the larger size of most of them that gave a bigger hit of the ordinary chocolate center. The chocolate simply wasn't creamy and I have to wonder if these were stored properly. Southern California experienced a wicked heat spell around Labor Day weekend and there were sporadic power outages all over which means that these could have bloomed in some way.
M&Ms stressed in their press releases about these that they're the first fruit flavored M&Ms ever given full distribution. (I guess they were ignoring those super exclusive fruity ones they did last year.) I'm sad that they didn't do orange, as I think that'd be a good place to start. It's easy to get an authentic orange flavor with chocolate. But then again these aren't raspberry M&Ms ... no, they're razzberry M&Ms, here to mock real raspberries (and us) with their fakeness.
Other views: Candy Addict gave them a mixed review and Gigi Reviews. If you like Raspberry Frangos, you'll probably like these.

Do not Turn Down Medical Attention, You May Regret it Later If You Do!!!
Follow your medical provider instructions. If you are not getting any better, get a second opinion. Do not let anyone tell you that you are imagining your pain or that the pain from your acident is due to arthritis, especially if you never experienced arthritis before. Soon after your medical treatment has stabilized, request your medical files from all your medical providers. If they provide them to you, ask for all bills paid on your behalf by your insurance company. Do not settle your case before your treatment is completed and you are discharged by your physician. If you are employed, then make sure that your physician writes absentee notes to your employer. Ask your employer how long will they wait for you before they replace you. Ask for a copy of your employee's handbook. If you return to work and you have limitations, make sure that your physician itemizes those in your return to work slip. If your employer tells you that he cannot provide accommodations, get a lawyer
Documents Needed to Prove your Pedestrian Case (Also applicable for Auto Accidents).
1) Police Report, 2) Medical Records (including X-rays, MRI's, Charts, Medical History, Test Results, Reports, Prescription and a list of all medicines), 3) Income Taxes: 2 years before and 1 year after the accident, 4) Bank Financial Statements for all those years. 5) Payroll checks if you have a job. 6) Income Statements, if you are self employed. 7) Your Car Insuranc Policy, or that of your parents, if you are a minor. 8) pictures of the place of the accident and of your injuries, 9) All correspondence with the other driver's insurance company. 10) Driver license and insurance policy of the driver that hit you, including the names of all witnesses at the scene of the accident.
Uninsured/Underinsured Driver
The odds are very high nowadays, that if you are involved in an accident, the other driver will have the minimum coverage or not sufficient insurance to cover your losses. If that is your case, do not forget to look into your own auto insurance as a potential recovery. Some people prefer to pay insurance to cover their personal effects, but tend to decline the uninsured/underinsured coverage provided by their auto insurance agent. For instance, if your spouse gets hit by a driver with a $15k/30k auto insurance policy, and causes her medical bills of $56,000.00. Assume you are unable to pay those medical bills, you may then be facing bankruptcy. However, if you had a $100k/300K uninsured/underinsured bodily injury coverage, with a $50k/100k med coverage, your wife could request arbitration for her personal injury claim and make a request to her medpay coverage to pay the medical bills owed. You would protect your loved ones, and get peace of mind at a reasonable price.
In case you want to settle with the insurance company of the driver that hit your wife, these are the steps you must follow: 1) YOU MUST SETTLE FOR THE FULL POLICY LIMITS. 2) YOU MUST ASK FOR A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE DRIVER'S INSURANCE POLICY. 3) YOU MUST REQUEST A LETTER FROM THE DRIVER, THROUGH HIS INSURANCE COMPANY, CERTIFYING HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER POLICY UPON WHICH YOU COULD RECOVER (UMBRELLA POLICY.EXCESS LIABILITY, ETC.) 4)SUBMIT THIS INFORMATION TO YOUR OWN INSURANCE COMPANY AND ASK THEM TO GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO SETTLE THE CASE. 5) ONCE YOU HAVE THAT PERMISSION, FILE AN ARBITRATION CLAIM AND REQUEST ALL YOUR DAMAGES.

The character of a person is proven in times of struggle, adversity and opportunity. It is in these uncommon moments that the true essence of a person is proven and is the measurement of the value his or her success will bring to people. Character is birthed at the intersection of integrity and self-motivating opportunity. The choices we make today build the foundation of our character tomorrow.
I've learned imperative lessons through my years of meeting, interviewing and working with people. We now live in a very stressful, uncertain world, yet we can be focused and encouraged as we realize that God has a plan and a purpose for each of us being here, and yes that includes you! I've also learned numerous lessons through my own personel "uncertanties" and everyday life that I would like to share with and encourage you. There are times when God may have "another plan" that you can't understand, but we can always trust that he knows and sees far above anything we can ever ask or think, therefore when we simply trust him with unwavering faith, we can know that we can and will with his help conquer those uncertain, stressfull situations that arise.
The difference between problems and crises is not necessarily in their size or the degree of upheaval they cause. The difference is that problems are slow – and crises are sudden.
Because of the pressure involved in a crisis situation, people tend to either turn towards what is good and godly to sustain them – or they will spiral downwards, into that which is negative and ungodly. I have noticed three ways that people behave when responding to crises: 1.Exaggerated emotions. When a crisis occurs, emotions tend to become exaggerated – and exaggerated emotions can lead to: ?Blame. You may be completely innocent when it comes to the reason for the crisis, but that won't keep others from blaming you for what's going on. Likewise, you may feel the urge or need to find someone to blame when your emotions get the best of you in a crisis situation. ?Vacillations. People who react negatively in a time of crisis can show vast extremes of temperament. They can be overly protective and smothering in their kindness one minute, and then extremely rejecting and angry the next. ?Combativeness. People who react negatively in crisis situations often turn on those closest to them, seeking someone to be the focal point for their frustrations and anger. Sometimes they will lash out without even meaning to. Because 'close people' are viewed as the 'safest people' we tend to hurt the people we love the best. 2.Motives and Loyalties are Revealed. During a crisis you will discover who your true friends are. A crisis separates your critics from you companions! When King Saul turned against David, only Saul's son, Jonathan stood by David in loyalty – although up to that time, David had been the darling of the palace! Don't assume that those who seem to be in your favor and are loyal to you will still be loyal if your popularity or prosperity should take a turn for the worse for a season. Don't be surprised when even your 'close' friends don't know how to handle your turmoil or minister to you in your pain. Recognize that accepting their limitations is a part of the process you must go through. 3.Flee or Fight Response. A crisis can bring about an instinct to either flee -- or stand up and fight. Our response is usually fast, spontaneous, and, at times, retaliatory. King Saul reacted to David's soothing music with a burst of jealousy and the throwing of a javelin at him – the exact opposite of a reasonable, rational response! David had to act immediately – if he hadn't, he would have been killed. Saul's actions were based on his compulsion to be number one – and to punish David for his growing popularity and renown. I have witnessed similar destructive behaviors in contemporary relationships, where one person's negative behavior directed at the other person causes a systematic breakdown of their friendship or union. In some cases, God will lead you to "duck and run" – at least temporarily. This is especially true of situations involving abuse. It is important to recognize that as you move away from some circumstances that seem intent upon your destruction, God is preparing you for even greater strength and an even more effective life in your future. However you respond in crisis, it will take courage to trust that God's leading will be revealed to you. It takes real courage to hold a steady course and maintain faithfulness when it seems as if God isn't speaking or acting as quickly as we wished. Even in times of crisis, remember this: God is always at work, arranging all things for our good – even when it isn't evident to us. Avoid the temptation to take matters into your own hands without consulting God first. And pray for the courage to hold yourself in check until God says, "Act now." During times of crisis, it is vital that we step back and take a good look at the challenge. We must try not to react to it, but to respond to it. Even the most immediate crisis can usually be broken down into bite-sized pieces, if we can manage to take a deep breath and gain perspective on the situation. Remember: the same God who started the good work in your life is the one who will finish further and execute it – even in times of crisis!

In the Eighth Circle of Thieves
What is to be done now, when the Constitution is subjected to corporate-groomed politicians who read it as no more than a postmodern self-deconstructing text? The present wide-open, scandalous system of campaign financing is rationalized by a rightist ideology that portrays the federal government as stiflingly bureaucratic, intrusive and inimical to the natural rights of a free people. In the lifetimes of many of us the federal government has been just the opposite, a means of redress, redemptive justice and societal healing, as, for instance, when it enacted the Depression measures of the thirties and the Great Society legislation of the sixties. Today the corporate rightists in Congress mean to privatize the Social Security system, vouch the public school system out of existence and do whatever they can to limit if not decimate the regulatory agencies established to control their worst business excesses. By the logic of their thinking even the National Office of Weights and Measures could be construed as an impediment to business practices.
It is not that members of Congress--or indeed the media or the American public--are not aware of the inequity of the present money-soaked system of political life in our country. But to what extent that system is responsible for the grotesque distortions of our present priorities--with the resultant poverty of so many children; the way our jails proliferate for the incarceration of black men, with more and more penal systems run privately for profit; the drift into monopolization of our media and means of communication, with fewer and fewer mega-corporations controlling more and more of what we read, see, hear or understand as the news; or the cost of health insurance policies that insure people until they get sick; the inequitable tax structure; the international trade agreements that rescind our environmental laws; the list is long--and how all of this is connected to the system of unrestricted and flamboyant political donations may not be always appreciated by the public or acknowledged consistently even by those members of Congress who have voted to reform the laws of campaign finance.
In fact, campaign finance reform as a phrase has been bruited about so long and to so little effect and is so yawningly dull, dreary and unresounding, it makes one wonder if it's not partly responsible for the conditions it has so far failed to address. Perhaps there is a basement office somewhere in Washington where mischievous lexicographers of a certain political orientation have the assigned task of finding the words and phrases to defuse the issues that threaten the interests of their employers. If so, campaign finance reform has done its work well. Because what is hidden in that modest little phrase is the vision of an honest, vigorously realized democratic republic.
To effect a true and thoroughgoing reform would not change the innately raucous competition of interests among us, but neither would it provide for the amplification of some of those interests to a level that is deafening. It would amount to a kind of revolution of our national political behavior; it would bring people of talent and vision into political life who are not now available to the nation; it would be breathtaking, predictive of a new authentic polyvocal Union; and with the possibility, at last, of addressing our entrenched social and economic inequities, the distortions of our priorities and what is grotesque about our public institutions, we would begin to come out of the terrible alienation that afflicts us and think again of the beauty of our national promise. We would hope to fashion ourselves more recognizably to the ideal of human rights implicit in our Constitution.
Perhaps, then, we should not rely on Congress to find the votes to pass a true and thorough reform bill that restores to us our dignity as citizens. A genuine ad hoc social movement may be required, a state-by-state struggle by referendum, issue-specific ratings at election time, an Internet-organized lobby to end all lobbies, but in any event something--some great public outcry to flatten back the ears of the distinguished colleagues in their paneled chambers.
To imagine such glory is to invoke the idealism of Walt Whitman. Whitman did not buy the elitist presumption of classic conservatism--that it was in the nature of some to lead and most to follow--even as it claimed to recognize its responsibility (as it does not now in its corporatized form) to look after, to take care of, as one looks after or takes care of children or pets. He saw it as a terrible depressant of human energies. He understood American democracy's breakout potential to enlarge the dimensions of human life, and thought that if the discourse was truly national, the communications omni-directional, the minds of a populace living in neighborly freedom could constellate into a universe that we hadn't yet dreamed of. That is why when he walked the streets of nineteenth-century New York, Whitman embraced everything he saw. He loved the multitudes, the industry of working people; he loved the ships in the harbor, the traffic on Broadway. But he was not naïve. He knew the newspaper business from which he made his living relied finally for its success on the frail shoulders of itinerant boys and girls, street urchins who lived on the few cents they made hawking the papers at every corner. Thousands of vagrant children lived in the streets of the New York Walt Whitman loved. Yet his exultant optimism and awe of human capacity was not demeaned; he could carry it all, the whole society, and attend like a nurse to its illnesses, but like a lover to its fair face.
And so must we.
