Background: Allergen immunotherapy (IT) is an effective treatment of respiratory allergy, but requires strict rules of performance. This makes compliance particularly relevant, but thus far only a few studies have investigated this issue.
Methods: We reviewed all the available articles on compliance and adherence with IT in its different forms of administration, ie, subcutaneous (SCIT), sublingual (SLIT), and local nasal (LNIT).
Results: Early studies, when only SCIT was available, reported a low compliance, ranging from 45% to 60%, but the demanding schedules used, with very frequent injections, accounted for this outcome, as shown by patients' recognition of inconvenience as the major cause of noncompliance. The most recent studies reported a good compliance, estimated in 75% to 90%, to both SCIT and SLIT, inconvenience remaining the major cause of noncompliance, followed by cost of the treatment. The only study addressing LNIT found a very poor compliance (27%), the major cause being the side effects, with repeated nasal reactions to the allergen extract.
Conclusions: Adequate education of patients and optimization of administration schedules, with fine balancing between dose effectiveness and cost, are the factors most likely to achieve further improvement of compliance with IT.
Keywords: allergen immunotherapy, subcutaneous, sublingual, local nasal, compliance, adherence

text: Some $50 million has been budgeted for this year, and financially strapped states might be expected to want their share. But many have doubts that the program does much, if any good, and they're frustrated by chronic uncertainty that it will even be kept in existence. They also have to chip in state money in order to receive the federal grants. Iowa Gov. Chet Culver, a Democrat, made his decision to leave based on the congressionally mandated curriculum, which teaches "the social, psychological and health gains of abstaining from sexual activity." Instructors must teach that sexual activity outside of marriage is likely to have harmful psychological and physical effects. "It was just too strict," said Emily Hajek, policy adviser to Culver. "We believe local providers have the knowledge to teach what's going to be best in those situations, what kind of information will help those young people be safe. You cannot be that prescriptive about how it has to be taught."For the full story, click here.

The Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) on Friday invited tenders for constructing a new, expansive, state-of-the-art international terminal.
The new terminal is aimed at serving two purposes: address the space crunch at the domestic terminal that is bursting at the seams, and expand infrastructure considering the growth in international passenger movement.
The bid is for a 15 lakh sq.ft terminal, with arrival and departure areas, that is estimated to cost Rs.255 crore. A deadline of 18 months has been set for building the terminal.
The bid is open to individual, proprietorship and partnership firms, and companies or corporations with experience in executing such projects. All bidders must meet the minimum prescribed financial and technical capabilities. Joint venture companies and consortiums, however, will not be permitted to bid.
At present, the international terminal at the Cochin International Airport, Nedumbassery, has a built-up space of 4.75 lakh sq.ft, with peak hour capacity to handle 1,200 passengers each at the arrival and departure areas.
While the terminal is spacious enough to meet international traffic through the airport, the domestic terminal needs immediate expansion. "Once the new international terminal is ready, the existing international terminal will be converted into the domestic terminal.
"This will serve twin purposes — address the need for a larger domestic terminal, and the need for a bigger international terminal considering the exponential growth in passenger traffic every year.
"The new terminal will have the capacity to handle about 2,400 arriving passengers, and an equal number of departing passengers during peak hours," airport director A.C.K. Nair told The Hindu. The domestic terminal, with a built-up area of about 1 lakh sq.ft, can handle 400 passengers each at the arrival and departure areas during peak hours.
"But passenger movement through the domestic terminal has long surpassed that limit. It now touches about 750 passengers each during peak hours," Mr. Nair said.
CIAL is ranked seventh in the country in terms of overall passenger traffic. It is, however, ranked fourth in international passenger movement, behind Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai airports. CIAL is also in the top 10 in terms of domestic passenger movement.
During the 2012-13 fiscal, 49 lakh passengers passed through the airport compared to 47.23 lakh in the previous fiscal.
The number of international passengers rose to 29.34 lakh, while domestic passenger movement was recorded at 19.66 lakh.
Passenger movement through the airport has registered an increase of about 13 per cent in the first seven months of this fiscal.

I always wanted to write, 'In the USA Today, today' in the Life section snapshots sidebar there is an interesting stat from a December 2012 Ponemon Institute study of 80 health care organizations showing that the data lost or stolen most often are our medical records at 48% and billing/insurance records at 48% followed by payment details at 24%. Multiple responses were allowed which is why the percentages break 100. What is more alarming is that over the last two years, 94% of health care organizations have been breached at least once and 45% have had 5 or more incidents! What is sad is that over half (54%) have little or no confidence that they can detect patient data loss.
I know many of us often delay or avoid the doctors for fear that we might get diagnosed with something terrible but maybe now we'll avoid with the notion, 'eh, I'm healthy and I don't want to be afflicted with identity theft disease.' Ask your doctor about ITD – common side effects include increased heart rate, depression, headaches, loss of appetite and in some patients, bank account drainage. Why risk it? Heck, the last time my wife went to her now previous doctor and asker her about how she complies with HIPAA, the doctor didn't even know what that was! How can that be? How can a practicing physician be unaware of HIPAA? That's like a bank unaware of PCI or the numerous other financial regulatory requirements. But is it 'unaware' or 'just don't care.'
The primary causes of health care data breach include lost or stolen devices along with employee or 3rd party mistakes and they only learned of the breach because of an audit. Data gets moved around amongst various parties for multiple reasons it is often hard to determine who and where leaked it.
Suggestions include appointing senior security roles reporting to the board, securing mobile devices, using encryption, develop breach plans that are ready and tested, education and as more health care organizations turn to the cloud, understand and control that risk – whatever it may be.
Oh, and have a seat, we'll be with you in a moment.

HL's long existance is somewhat meaningless, from an investment perspective. It's current management (which should be abruptly fired for allowing HL to reach its current precarious financial situation) has not been around all those years. Likewise, with the recent acquisitions, HL no longer resembles the old Hecla with decades of existance.This same reasoning applies to any comparisons about today's price compared to HL's historical prices of a few years ago or longer. Any such comparison is invalid.

Bad Prices, Horrible Customer Service by Charlie - 10/10/2013
After a long time of asking Microserv to fix problems with speed issues and connectivity problems, I finally dumped them and went with another company. I now get 5 times the speed for 10.00 less per month. I can have several laptops going and use Netflix without buffering problems. I no longer have to have a ugly dish on my roof and best change of all, I can actually get what I am paying for. Whomever owns this company needs to see how they are loosing customers. Apparently they do not care, they are getting enough money duping people who are paying for service that they are not receiving As I turned in my equipment and told them to turn off the service, they wanted me to pay for the next months service. When I told them I should be getting money back for the last 6 months of reduced speed, all of a sudden Microserv decided they would not charge me. These guys are crooks and should be investigated for fraudulent activity. Find another reputable service.
Changing Companies/Worst Customer Service by Fed UP - 10/04/2013
Anyone considering using this company I strongly urge you to look at the below listed comments and complaints filed with the BBB. Worst customer service ever, if you talk with a supervisor do not expect that anything will be fixed or corrected. Company has gone through numerous ownership changes and worst yet, they fail to fix continued problems with speed. We are not talking small numbers we are talking paying for high speed and getting dial up speed. Techs use every excuse and after having them come out repeatedly they now say they can only get .02 out of a 1.0 meg speed. Equipment they provide is used and crappy. They refuse to downgrade the fees when they cannot provide what is in the contract. Time to file claims with the courts and make them abide by a written contract. After all if I tried to get out of my service contract they would sue me, now the shoe is on the other foot. Stay away from these guys, totally incompetent. Nothing more frustrating the a company that will not fix THEIR problem.
Worst Service/Fails to Provide Agreed upon Speeds/Horrible Customer Service by Duped - 09/28/2013
Have been with Microserv for 4 years. Upgraded to 1Mg to use Netflix and then started to have trouble with speed. When testing on Microservs site found I was receiving less than 1/2 of what I paid for. Call numerous times, they would send out a tech on occasion, move items, claim equipment problems etc. On the latest call out, tech came out changed antenna and after the supposed fix, speed was 1/10th of what it was supposed to. Call Tania at customer service and her only solution to the problem was to disconnect service. I tested line of sight to the tower with personal equipment found if Techs has done a little work they would have been able to fix the problem without much problem, but it is too easy to just say dump us and not correct a problem. Due to the months of service that were not provided will be filing legal action to recoup the extra fees paid to company each month. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY THEY WILL DRAIN YOUR POCKETBOOK AND GIVE YOU NO SERVICE.
Expensive And SLOW! by Axcel - 07/26/2013
We started to use Microserv on a 512kbps speed which was the lowest internet wireless they provide but was so slow and so damn expensive, now we changed to 1.5mbps which was still slow!!! and how much do you say it is ? 512kbps cost 29.95$ and now our latest plan costs us 49.95$ and for what ? 1.5 MBPS ?!.. I say we got 10 MBPS for 35$ back where I came from.. just find another ISP that is not as expensive as microserv this people will rip you off, and they will stuck you in a contract of 2 years so dont even try this ISP... just pick anything else that gives the right speed for the right price, microserv isn't worth your hard earned money.. 512kbps - isnt gonna run netflix it will load every 10 minutes1.5mbps - still not enough to even play Xbox Live..we tried to get the "10 meg turbo option" they provide but they said it isnt available in my area because your tower in that area cant handle that.. rubbish, theres like only 50 people in my area and most of them are seniors who doesnt use internet and they cant provide me with their 10 meg turbo option
Now it works faster than ever by Gabi M. - 07/15/2013
After filing a complaint on 7/13/2013 about the Internet not working, and being shuffled from person to person after asking to speak to a manager, a tech showed up (unannounced) on Saturday and replaced the radio. Since we weren't home at the time he had no way of troubleshooting the lines, but another tech came first thing on Monday and everything's running great. I can't speak for the tech who came out on Saturday, but the one who got everything up and running was professional, knew what he was doing, and he was courteous. We're once again happy with our service. One of the reasons we signed up with Microserv in the first place was that it's more reasonable than any other provider in the area, and if we continue to receive good service, we'll stay with the company.
Just terrible by anon - 05/06/2013
Fkn Internet is slow as balls and drops every 5 goddamn minutes.
Please Don't Sign Up by Jackie - 05/22/2012
I'd like to reiterate the numerous negative reviews regarding service with this company, but I'm not sure I can adequately express how insufficient, frustrating, and all-around disappointing our experience with Microserv has been. We've had constant connection issues, dealt with rude and unhelpful tech agents, and waited days on end for return calls that rectified nothing. Your business is incredibly valuable. A company should care enough to work for it. I very much regret giving mine to Microserv.
Not happpy by anon - 04/29/2012
honestly, i wish i could give them a negative star rating. im okay with the internet speed, i have had no problems there. but, the technician that set up my internet was a JERK. he told me that he works alot in the idaho falls area, and he has heard of me. I asked him how, and he proceeded to tell me that i had a reputation of being a "ho" and a "huge bitch" in high school. then he asked me if i was "as big of a whore now as i was back then". he went on saying stuff like this for about 10 minutes.unprofessional.rude.i will be calling his manager tomorrow.
Been dooped by Gordon - 09/29/2011
I recieved a special in the mail for internet service so I called they made promises that it was faster than my current provider. I took to bait and since it has been a nightmare. My internet only works about half of the time. They either do not know how to fix it or do not care. One of the ladies that answers the phone said no internet service is perfect. I work from home and have lost much time and money because of this company. Now they are saying I still have to pay for their crap. I asked for the owners name today and the person said I need to end this call now. I have clearly been dooped. I am prepared to take care of this legally if need be.
Very Pleased by BobS. - 04/29/2011
Have had my Microserv connection for years - no issues! We've even used their in-house support for pc problems and their guys are very knowledgeable. We've tried the others like Cable One and dsl from Qwest, they don't compare to our Microserv wireless internet!

the company announces another offering to pay for the SIR shares they recently bought as greenmail. I don't trust the management and will not hold shares in this scam.
Sentiment: Sell
Apparently the stupid RBC downgraded the stock based on delayed 10K. Does the RBC analyst even know anything about this company? The company is in the middle if an activist hedge fund going after it or being taken over based on the company's news. So the downgrade makes absolute no sense. But the poor daytraders don also know anything about the stock they trade. See you at $12 in less than six months.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
it will sell itself or the new management will step in. Either case price will move above $10. The delay in filing of 10K is not important as there was many changes in the past qtr with the mgmt and transaction. It is was expected. Student housing is a desirable sector right now. Peer companies are trading at much higher FFO multiples. Move down today is from stupid daytarders who don;t understand the company but trade on what the perceive as bad news.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Just bought some shares. I think the worse is over. The company might be taken out by a private equity.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
SIR is down because you no longer have an activist hedged fund lakewood trying to remove the management. Lakewood themselves got paid nicely by GOV shareholders.
Sentiment: Hold
No. I bought this stock almost a year ago. The question is not why I am holding the stock but why is RMR and the management still there? We need Sam Zell or some other activist to get involved and remove these as$holes.
Sentiment: Hold
and removal of RMR from all these REITS company. Every single company stock will jump substantially when that happens.
Sentiment: Hold
Notably, the Audit Committee's investigation did not identify any material changes relating to ARCP's real estate ownership, rental revenue or fundamental business operations.
3rd qtr came in line. Soon the company should trade at similar multiple of AFFO as its peer companies. After all this, their books will be cleaner than the other companies out there.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Few months ago. Claiming that there was fraud . CBI is owned 10 % by warren buffet. To this date no fraud has came out. This morons should be send to jail, The main guy is a losser middle eastern who couldn't even get a real job. Went to a lousy school for finance.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
UNFI is very respectable multi billion dollar company. You sometimes have to wonder about how the market works. Just hold on to your shares, you will be rewarded.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
However, I sold my shares as there is no growth and concern for oil/gas tenant which compromises over 16% of their rent.
Met the earnings and beat on revenue. Nice Div.
Sentiment: Buy
The debt offering and positive news came after street Sweeper. Kind of hard to change that now.
The company will have to pull the debt offering. There will be legal cost and reputation damage. Even if the company has done nothing wrong. I say sue the sh@t out of Prescince.
denying the report and providing short explanation for the accusations made by the report. In addition, the should mention that they will file a lawsuit against the prescience. If no such announcement is made by the company, sell your shares fast. However, if the company does this, stock should be trading close to it's real value of $20.
Sentiment: Hold
had enough of the up and down and being a target. Hope those short short who make up stupid report get punished. SEC really need to crack down on these entities.

Nicholson's Brewery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Nicholson's)
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
Nicholson's was a small, British brewery operating from 1840 to 1960 in Maidenhead, England.
The brewery was founded in 1840 by William Nicholson (1820–1916), son of successful businessman Robert Nicholson. The brewery was based in the centre of town with an extensive frontage on the High Street.
At their peak in the 1900s, Nicholson's possessed 150 tied pubs.
Courage purchase[edit]
Nicholson's was bought out first by Simonds Brewery and then by the Reading-based Courage brewery, and closed in 1960. The Nicholson's Centre shopping complex now stands on the site, covering the 400 ft deep artesian well that provided the brewery with its water.

Good and DeLISH Morning Rush Coffee Bites
I've often wondered why more confections weren't made from roasting and conching. What would happen if you roasted and conched almonds or hazelnuts in the same way we make chocolate? What about coffee?
Since coffee doesn't have its own natural oils like cocoa that are solid at room temperature, it only makes sense to add a dash of them to make a chocolate-like confection to create these Morning Rush Coffee Bites. These are from the Walgreen's store-brand called deLISH, but I did see a review of a product called Coffee Thins on Candy Bar Review that sounds like it might be the maker.
They came in three varieties, I picked out the simplest version, the plain coffee bites (Elegant Hazelnut and Vanilla Delight were the others). There are 14 in the package, but the serving size is a little strange to decode. There's 4.9 ounces in the package and it holds 3.5 servings. So a serving is 4 pieces. Though the package doesn't say anything about caffeine, the Coffee Thins website does say that one piece equals a quarter of a cup of coffee. (I'm unclear if they mean an actual fourth of an 8 ounce cup and how much caffeine that cup had, as it does vary quite a bit but I'll stick with the estimate that even eating the whole bag will probably not result it an overdose of caffeine. The front of the package is no help either, as it shows one piece equaling a cup of coffee ... though the cup is the same size as the chocolate piece.)
They're packaged just like a Ghirardelli Square. The pieces are about 1.6 inches square. The molding is nice, it's a generic mold but a good thickness for biting and getting a nice aroma off of it while eating.
The ingredients are a little vague:
The oils are a blend of cocoa butter, palm oil, illipe butter, shea butter, mango butter, sunflower oil and/or safflower oil. It's also unclear if the coffee is the whole bean or brewed coffee. (I'm guessing whole bean.)
The mouthfeel is pretty good. It's not quite the silky melt of a good dark chocolate, but it's passable. The coffee flavors are very strong and well rounded, more on the woodsy and cocoa end of the flavors than the nutty, toffee or berry notes that some beans have. The sugar is quite prominent, which is too bad, because I don't mind a strong coffee. If it were less sweet, I'd be a lot happier, but when you remove sugar, it has to be replaced by something else. There's a buttery, cream note to the whole thing too that I thought was a little strong for something that I didn't think was in the milk drink zone. It's a balancing act, if you take out sugar, do you put in more milk solids or more coffee? More coffee would make it much stronger, but that might not make it better because the bitterness or perhaps even the caffeine would be too high.
The end result is that I'm satisfied with these as a curiosity. I don't see myself buying them again ... unless they were actually blended in with dark chocolate. However, if your a sweet coffee fan, these might be the ticket.

Peeps Minis Vanilla Creme
Just Born has introduced a new year-round version of marshmallow Peeps. The new Peeps Minis are different in a few ways. First, they're not packaged a tray, they're tossed together into a stand up, reasealable bag. Second, they're mini versions of individual Peeps, each Peeps is not a single bite.
They're available in several different flavors, but the only one I can find here in Los Angeles right now is the Vanilla Creme Peeps Minis. The package holds on 3.4 ounces and cost $2.79 at Target. They're part of this whole hand-to-mouth snacking trend, as they analysts call it, that I refer to as morselization.
The surprising thing about Peeps Minis is that they do fulfill a big hole in the candy aisle. There are no sugar crusted marshmallows. If you meander over to the ingredient aisle in grocery stores you'll find starch coated Jet-Puffed and Campfire marshmallows, but they're only rarely found in the candy aisle (usually in special displays for S'mores along with graham crackers and chocolate bars).
They do smell a lot like cake. A sort of butter flavored cake, maybe pound cake and strongly of vanilla extract.
Each Peep is pretty small. They're about half the weight of a regular Peep (which is usually about 8.5 grams) at about 4 grams each. There are only 14 calories per Peep, mostly because they don't weight much and are made from sugar and a little protein.
I like white Peeps because they have no artificial colors to get in the way of the flavors. They do taste rather cakey, like an Angel Food Cake in both flavor profile and actual texture. I liked them much more than I thought, though I still doubt I'd pick these up as a go-to candy, even in the summer. My biggest issue is the eyes, I can't stand the little wax eyes on Peeps, I have to pull them off, which means that I can't just eat them. They are an ideal version of Peeps to take to the movies, as the package is very quiet and of course they're easy to share ... and would probably pair very well with popcorn.
It seemed like there was less sugar sanding on the, and because the package does a better job of containing the leftover sugar than the trays, they were far less messy. I don't know how good of a job the zipper-top package does at keeping them fresh, I only had them for a few days, did not seal them and they're still fresh. (But it's a bit more humid in Southern California as were in our June Gloom weather pattern of low clouds in the morning.)
They're gluten free and fat free (as if people have allergies to fat). They're made in the USA, and may contain milk but have no other notations about allergens such as nuts. Since they're marshmallows, they're also made with gelatin and are not for vegetarians. There's no specification as to the source of the gelatin, so I would guess it's porcine.

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

Twix Unwrapped Bites
The final candy bar in the Mars pantheon to be morselized is the Twix Bar. The new unwrapped bite size version was just released this month in stores.
Twix Unwrapped Bites are exactly what they sound like, a bag of tiny little Twix bars (more like nuggets) all jumbled up, out of the wrapper and ready to eat.
Mars already makes bites which include the primary elements for the classic bar version, but have different ratios because of the miniaturization process. It's an uneven transfer to the new format, in some case I prefer the new ratios, in others I think that one or more elements is lacking. So far I've tried: Milky Way, Milky Way Simply Caramel, 3 Musketeers, and Snickers.
The little lumps aren't really that pretty, but they're chocolatey, so that's appealing. Like the other bites, they get scuffed up tumbling around in the package, so they don't have the elegant, shiny ripples of the long fingers. They smell sugary and sweet, just like regular Twix bars.
They're not as messy as I find regular Twix, as I pop the whole thing in my mouth at once. The crunch of the cookie is good, there's a bit higher ratio of chocolate in this version, and a good caramel chew to bring the elements together. Sweet, milky, a mild sandy crunch ... a good blend of textures. Like the other bites, it's easy to mix them in with other items to create a custom mix. I think this might be good with a Chex Mix if you're a sweet & savory person.
I thought it was interesting to note that in the United Kingdom, Mars also introduced a morsel version of Twix last year. It's a little different though. Since I knew that the Twix Unwrapped Bites were coming to the United States, I made sure to find the Twix Mix while I was in London back in March so I could compare them.
The format of Twix Mix is actually a mix of little nuggets of biscuit (cookie) and caramel. They're slightly different shapes, so if you'd prefer to eat one or the other, or make sure you're mixing them, you can pick them out. The caramel pieces are just little spheres of a firm caramel covered in a very milky, thin chocolate shell. The biscuit pieces are a little flatter.
The effect is actually quite nice. The ratios don't match the classic Twix bar at all, and the milk chocolate is much milkier and the whole experience is a bit more on the malt side than the usual emphasis on the toffee/caramel notes. As a confectionery snack, they're good and different enough from a bridge mix or something as traditional as Milk Duds.
The American Twix Unwrapped Bites have no notation on the packaging regarding the cocoa sourcing yet, though Mars promises that is coming in the next few years. They contain dairy, soy and gluten and may contain traces of peanuts.

Cadbury Dairy Milk Pebbles
The trend of making little poppable versions of popular candies extends to Europe, so when I saw these new Cadbury Dairy Milk Pebbles in London, I picked them up. Cadbury already makes several morsel versions of their popular Dairy Milk chocolate. They make Buttons, which are little disks and of course the Easter version, the Cadbury Mini Eggs which have a shell.
Now Cadbury has a shell candy for all year round consumption, completing their entry into the world of morselization. I've also seen that Cadbury's parent company, Mondelez (once part of Kraft) has created bagged mixes that include the Pebbles, mini Oreos, and Maynard's gummi candies. Kind of like the M&Ms Sweet & Salty Snack Mix that came out from Mars.
Like most Cadbury chocolate products in the United Kingdom, this is not real milk chocolate. It's what's commonly called "family chocolate" which is a nice way of saying, "We don't need to waste expensive cocoa butter on children, we'll substitute some oil in there." So it's a quasi-mockolate product that uses some cocoa butter and some vegetable oil. Still, it's not like it's R. M. Palmer mockolate, it's made from 23% milk content and 20% cocoa content ... then, you know, some sugar and a few oils, natural colors and shellac.
Instead of going with the typical lentil shape, the pieces are like flattened Cadbury Mini Eggs. They're kind of like guitar picks. The colors are plain, for the most part when I dumped them out of the bag they were a little chalky looking but polished up pretty easily with a paper towel. (I figured they deserved a little spa treatment after being carted partway around the world.)
The yellow ones are a bit strange though, because of the all natural colorings, the ingredients on this particular one is a little odd. It's kind of like curry ...a little grassy. The chocolate center is smooth, a little malty but with a thin punch of chocolate flavor. The shell is wonderfully crunchy, outside of the odd yellow one. The whole combination is really a great candy, I enjoyed eating them, though it certainly didn't satisfy my desire for chocolate. I would be interested in trying these in some sort of mixed bag with mini Oreos and perhaps a few nuts.
I doubt that Cadbury will attempt to license this to Hershey's for production under their deal. So American's will have to content themselves with imports or just stocking up in the Easter version.
They contain milk, corn and soy. There's no statement about nuts or gluten. Though Cadbury has started certifying some candies with sourcing information, the Dairy Milk Pebbles did not have a the Fair Trade or Rainforest Alliance stamp.

Hot Tamales Tropical Heat
Just Born has been making Hot Tamales, a cinnamon flavored jelly candy, since 1950. Their newest twist is Hot Tamales Tropical Heat, which features spice combined with fruit flavors.
While the classic Hot Tamales get their warm heat from the active ingredient in cinnamon, cinnamaldehyde, the twist with this new version features hot peppers. The active hotness in chili peppers is caused by capsaicin.
Hot Tamales Tropical Heat come in a mix of three flavors in the bag: Limon Fever, Mango Tango, and Pineapple Picante.
I bought this half pound peg at Cost Plus World Market for $2.99 ... I found that a bit steep for what are basically jelly beans, but I was very interested in Just Born's entry into this segment. I'm quite fond of the original and keep them on hand in my candy jars in my office.
The pieces are beautiful and easy to differentiate from the regular Hot Tamales or Milk and Ike, if you happened to mix them together.
The Limon Fever is light green with a few green speckles on it. Though limón is lemon in Spanish, this has a distinct lime note to it. There's a bitterness at the front, a nice zesty note of citrus peel, then a tart juicy flavor (which could be lemon) and a note of jalapeno. Though I get the spicy burst and the warmth, it's not too much, not throat searing, just warm. Then after a while it's just sweet and a little grainy.
Mango Tango is medium orange with red speckles. This seemed to be the dominant flavor in my package, which is too bad. As much as I love mangos, they're rarely good in candy format. The flavor starts out with a mild tangy bite and the heat from the chili, then it gets sweet and taste like peaches. That's pretty much it. It's not terrible, but it's not quite mango.
Pineapple Picante begins with a good mix of floral and lightly tart. The chili warmth comes in just as the whole thing descends into sweetness though the floral pineapple remains. It's the freshest tasting of the three, though I liked the enduing zest of the Limon as well.
Though I found these a little strange, I actually liked them, and I don't actually like chili peppers. They're warm but not painfully hot. But if you're someone who likes their spicy spices to burn, these will not do it for you.
Hot Tamales are gluten free, contain no gelatin but do have confectioners glaze so wouldn't be appropriate for vegans.

Marks and Spencer Chicky Choccy Mini Eggs
There was a time when the only choice for candy-coated chocolate eggs for Easter was Cadbury Mini Eggs. Times have changed and there are many versions, ranging from fair trade and all natural to tiny versions with Belgian chocolate to Hershey's.
The the United Kingdom, there are also plenty of varieties available from store brands. I picked up some from Marks and Spencer, a department store with a chain of grocers. Marks and Spencer is already known for many unique confections, like their line of gummis featuring Percy Pig. I picked up the Marks and Spencer Chicky Choccy Mini Eggs.
They're pretty bit eggs, at about one inch long. They come in three different speckled colors. The colorings used are all natural, derived from vegetable sources, making the end of the ingredients label look more like the contents of a green smoothie. The ingredients state that the cocoa solids make up 30% while the milk solids are 20% minimum. (The rest is sugar, you know, because it's candy.)
The shells are quite thick and crunchy. Some natural colors can give a faint flavor to candy shells, but I didn't notice that here. The shells are shiny and slick (not matte like Cadbury Mini Eggs).
The milk chocolate center is sweet and very milky. The melt is good, a little cool on the tongue with a mix of toasted cereal flavors, a little hint of malted milk and cocoa. The intensity of the chocolate is quite weak, though it's still a pleasant profile. I found them very satisfying to eat, but definitely not high in chocolate content.
The allergy information is very easy to find. It contains soy and milk and is not suitable for people with nut allergies because of manufacturing methods. Suitable for vegetarians (not vegans) with all natural flavors and colors.
If you'd like a little more Easter fun, here's the recent episode of The Nosh Show with Marvo, Dubba, Ryan and Eric where we talk a bit about Easter candy.
The #1 reason why I love Easter candy: the crunchy candy shell.

Mars MaltEaster Bunnies
One of the things that I've always been surprised about British confectionery is that they're not terribly interested in malt. They do have one malted milk ball brand, called Maltesers made by Mars. But that's it. No Easter varieties with pastel speckled candy shells, no snowballs, no jumbo double dipped. It's just not in their list of classic candies. However, even though Mars hasn't tried to extend their malted milk ball range, they have done some wonderful and unique things with their malted milk flavors. They make a hot cocoa mix and for Easter they make MaltEaster Bunnies.
There are two versions of the bunnies on the market. They come in the standard single serving size of 29 grams (1.02 ounces) and also in a mini version of 11.6 grams each (.41 ounces) that come in this bag of five. (I think I paid £1.50 for it, which is about $2.50 US.)
The little bunnies are, well, just the epitome of perfection. They're about two inches high with tall ears and little round bellies with huge feet make them very attractive. The tiny size makes them about two bites each.
Though Mars prides itself on only using real chocolate in their candy in the United States, they're not afraid to use "family chocolate" in the UK for their confections. Basically, it's chocolate that contains fillers and cannot be called milk chocolate under the current USDA definitions of chocolate. In the case of MaltEaster Mini Bunnies, the ingredients include extra vegetable fat instead of cocoa butter and whey, which is a milk byproduct.
I've had Malteser malted milk balls before, and though I like the centers, I found the milk chocolate coating a little lackluster though certainly better than the Whoppers in the US (made by Hershey's).
The center of the MaltEaster bunnies is actually a crunchy & creamy Maltesers center. I wouldn't exactly call it creamy, it's just a thick sort of malty fudge thing that holds the crispy bits together. The malty bits are crunchy and fresh and have a good malt note to them.
The chocolate is very sweet and matches the center. There's a milky malt note to the whole thing and a sort of greasy aftertaste in my mouth. They're a lot fattier than regular malted milk balls, as they do have about 152 calories per ounce compared to about 130 for regular chocolate malted milk balls.
Of the two versions I tried, the mini and the regular, I prefer the regular one. The mound of the bunny's belly was a much larger reservoir of malt and cream, so the proportions change as you eat it. With the mini, there was a far greater proportion of chocolate, which would be great if I thought the chocolate was good enough to eat plain.
Even though I didn't think these were as good as they could be if they were made with better ingredients, I'd still buy them again. They're a unique item and suit my malt leanings very successfully. I'd be curious to see Mars bring this whole line to the United States, though I understand they've tried to compete before with existing brands. Back in the 80s they tried going head to head with Peter Paul with their Bounty Bars which are similar to Mounds and nutless Almond Joy.

NBA Franchise Notes: 76ers' Harris Says Team Will Stay In Philadelphia
Published August 19, 2013
EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: In N.Y., Marc Berman reports the Knicks' season-ticket renewal rate has risen from last year's 95% to more than 97%, the "highest renewal rate for the club in more than 10 years." The NHL Rangers "also saw gains" with a season-ticket renewal rate of more than 92%, their "highest in five years." MSG President Dave Howard said that season tickets for both franchises "will sell out shortly" (N.Y. POST, 8/19).
GOLDEN GOOSE: ESPN.com's Darren Rovell cited a source as saying that the Warriors are "now valued" at $800M, less than three years after team co-Owners Joe Lacob and Peter Gruber paid $450M for the franchise. Rovell noted when Lacob and Gruber purchased the team in November '11, it was "the highest price ever for an NBA franchise." The new valuation "comes from the price Silicon Valley venture capitalist Mark Stevens agreed to pay for a share of the team" that was made available when former partner Vivek Ranadive had to sell in order to purchase the NBA Kings (ESPN.com, 8/16).
CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE: ESPN's Jeremy Schaap addressed Lakers Exec VP/Player Personnel Jim Buss saying that Mike D'Antoni was hired last fall instead of Phil Jackson by his father, Dr. Jerry Buss, while he was in the hospital fighting for his life. Schapp asked, "If the Lakers had won the title this spring and the D'Antoni hire were viewed as a stroke of genius, I wonder if Jim Buss would've been so eager to deflect credit" ("The Sports Reporters," ESPN, 8/18).
