It was an evening of New York Rangers debate and discussion, but most importantly it was a terrific collaboration of fans and professionals.
Jim Cerny of NewYorkRangers.com and Andrew Gross of The Record, joined Blueshirt Bulletin and New York Rangers Fan Club staff and members for an exclusive Writer's Roundtable and Q&A in NYC.
Blueshirt Bulletin subscribers and Fan Club members had the opportunity to hear the latest happenings regarding their Blueshirts from those closest to the scenes. Some of the topics included the recent acquisitions of Jody Shelley and Olli Jokinen, the upcoming March 3rd Trade Deadilne, and analysis of the current roster.
And there were some laughs as well, including some unique Canadian border experiences between Cerny and Gross.
Blueshirt Bulletin thanks the Fan Club for hosting the event and to both Jim and Andrew for their participation and continued contribution to the Blueshirt Bulletin Print Edition.
This is hopefully the first of many events to come for Blueshirt Bulletin subscribers!
Jim Cerny recaps the evening here.
Andrew Gross checks in on the US Olympic Hockey Team and the Roundtable here.

I tried solution #3. (I don't want to jeopardize my SELinux on a wireless network)Solution 1 (temporary; won't survive a re-boot):
Issue the command:

Solution 2 (might survive a reboot; I didn't actually try this one):
[root]# setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs=1
Solution 3 (survives a reboot):
This is the solution I ultimately settled on. Go to the /etc/selinux/targeted directory. Create a text file called booleans.local, and put the "samba_enable_home_dirs=1" line in it (without the quotes, of course).
Solution 4 (surives a reboot, but removes all SELinux protection):
Edit /etc/selinux/config. Change the line SELINUX=enforcing to SELINUX=permissive or SELINUX=disabled.
I looked at the context of the / directory and saw that the contexts of /data and /home were different.
So I just changed /data to match the context of /home and it works just fine.

text: Cameon Patterick assists 3-year-old Kjirstin in selecting an age appropriate Valentine's Day gift at Ann's Hallmark in Price. It is extremely important that parents exercise caution while shopping for youngsters during the Valentine's season. Some toys may contain small parts not appropriate for young children. Candy can also pose a choking hazard if it is too hard or large for the child eating the treat. By carefully examining an item before purchasing it for a young child, adults can prevent an exciting tradition from turning disastrous.

By MELANIE STEELESun Advocate reporter
The wait for warm weather is the only barrier between the College of Eastern Utah's plans to return the school letters to Wood Hill in Price.
The CEU letters, which will be placed on the same site where the original foundation was located, will sit in a 30 foot frame and be 15 feet wide. Eight-foot tall letters will headline the structure, in addition to a large eagle's head, the school mascot.
A self-sustaining lighting system will be added to illuminate the letters. Initial plans are to keep the structure lit on a constant basis.
It is unknown exactly why or when the original structure collapsed, but it has been missing from the area for nearly 20 years, according to CEU Student Body President Daniel Wood.
Wood and his fellow officers from the college's student council have been designing the reintroduction of the letters as their yearly campus project.
He said the council hopes the letters will serve as positive reminder to the community of the college's presence.
"The community has kind of separated from the college and we want to give them a reminder that we are here," commented Wood. "Neither the college nor the community can survive without each other. We are intertwined."
Using internal resources, the welding department took over construction of the large letters with a plasma cutter. Funding for the project came primarily from excess student body funds, with contributions from CEU President Ryan Thomas' funds.
Approval for the project hit a small snag when a reading from the Geographic Information System indicated that part of the structure fell on Price City property. However, the Price City Council has already indicated that it will approve the construction in its next regular meeting.
The building permits have been approved and the majority of the structure has been completed. The council is currently waiting for the weather to warm up enough for the concrete base to be poured.
Wood Hill is located in the northwestern area of Price and is visible from many points in the city.
Wood projects that the rebuilt structure should be finished before students leave for spring break in March.
"I think the weather will be the only thing that will hold us up now," he concluded.
CEU has been a major educational force in Carbon County since 1937, when it was established as Carbon College by the Utah legislature.

2012 Lexus LFA Ownership Costs
Cost of Ownership data coming soon
There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2012 Lexus LFA Base Coupe at this time
2012 Lexus LFA Base Coupe cost of ownership data is powered by
Ownership costs are the costs to purchase and operate a vehicle over a period of time. Understanding these costs may enable you to save money and help you make a wiser decision when choosing your next new car.
Regardless of the "value" claims that you may read in car reviews or hear in advertisements, the economic value of a car is based on how much it will cost to own and operate compared to its purchase price. In a sense, purchase price is "what you pay" and the ownership costs are "what you get."
Ownership costs can differ greatly. The cost to own and operate two different vehicles with equal purchase prices can differ by thousands. Of course when evaluating ownership cost for used cars and trucks, a vehicle's condition and mileage will greatly impact ownership costs, therefore it's important to compare similar vehicles in similar condition for an accurate picture.

Basic Warranty:
The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.
Drive Train Warranty:
In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.
Roadside Assistance:
Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.
Rust or Corrosion Warranty:
Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.

(AP) - A big winter storm is heading for northern New England, with snowfalls of up to 18 inches predicted for much of the region.
A storm already wreaking havoc in the South and Midwest is expected to move into Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine beginning late Wednesday afternoon and continuing overnight.
The heaviest snow is expected in a southwest-to-northeast band extending from southern and central Vermont across most of New Hampshire and into Maine.
Lighter snow is expected in northwestern Vermont, and seacoast areas of southeastern New Hampshire and southwestern Maine may see a mix of precipitation.

Ballet in Cinema: L'Altra Meta del Cielo (La Scala Ballet)
In l'altra metà del cielo ("The other side of the sky"), Martha Clarke, MacArthur "Genius Grant" winner and vital choreographer, takes on an usual challenge - staging a dance piece based on the music of aging Italian rock star Vasco Rossi, a man known for his drug use, racism, and misogyny. The resulting piece is nothing short of magical - Clarke transforms his lyrics of hatred into a piece that glorifies the feminine identity, rather than tear it down. This groundbreaking and unique work is presented by the La Scala Ballet.

About Pacific School of Religion
Since its founding in 1866, Pacific School of Religion (PSR) has served as a multi-denominational Christian seminary. PSR stands at a remarkable crossroads of faith and learning communities. Located in the broadly diverse San Francisco Bay Area on the axis of the continental United States and the Pacific Rim, PSR offers an unparalleled view of global relationships and currents of cultural change. Throughout its history, PSR has been on the cutting edge of emerging movements for change in the Christian tradition, representing an early voice for the equality of women, resisting racial prejudice and war, and advocating for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and the economically disadvantaged.
PSR has formal relationships with three denominations: the United Church of Christ, the United Methodist Church, and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Half of PSR's students come from these three traditions. Other PSR students come from faith traditions as diverse as Quaker, Unitarian Universalist, the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches, the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and several other mainline denominations and new religious movements.
PSR's faculty members represent a wide spectrum of denominational and cultural backgrounds. In addition to traditional seminary subjects like bible, church history, theology, ethics, pastoral care, and worship leadership, PSR's faculty specialize in subjects as diverse as art and religion, sexuality, and world religions, and are particularly concerned with issues of race, gender, sexual orientation, and economic justice.
PSR participates in the Graduate Theological Union (GTU), an ecumenical consortium of nine theological schools with a combined student body of 1,300 and faculty of 130. PSR students use the GTU's Flora Lamson Hewlett Library, one of the largest theological libraries in the United States, and may choose from over 700 courses offered at GTU member schools. PSR is located one block away from the University of California, Berkeley, where students have access to resources of one of the world's great research universities.
PSR connects with diverse faith and learning communities throughout the world through the work of its more than 2,000 alumni/ae. The majority of alums serve faith communities through parish ministry, but others serve in non-profit management, global religious outreach, denominational government, counseling and social work, journalism, film and television production, and as professors and scholars.

Search Itineraries
Duration : 6 days
Starting from : Bangkok
Ending at : Chatuchak Market
Duration : Adventure, Family
Overview :
First spend several days snorkeling, diving, kayaking, and rock climbing around southern Thailand's Phan Nga Bay, then explore the temples and ruins of historic Ayutthaya, before finishing up in Bangkok with worldclass shopping and sightseeing.
Day by Day Itinerary : Day 1 (Krabi ) - Day 2 (Krabi ) - Day 3 (Krabi ) - Day 4 (Krabi ) - Day 5 (Krabi ) - Day 6 (Ayutthaya)
Day 1 : Krabi
Ko Lanta Islands
Ko Lanta consists of two adjacent islands: Ko Lanta Yai and Ko Lanta Noi.
Koh Lanta Yai, This Island is home to ""Chao Le"" or sea gypsies who continue to maintain their traditional lifestyle and beliefs, such as setting a boat, a drift to drive out evil and bring good luck, which is practiced during the full moon in June and November.
In addition, the island provides tourist facilities while Ko Lanta Noi is the location of the district office. Most of the beaches on Ko Lanta Yai such as Kho Kwang, Khlong Dao, Phra Ae, Khlong Khong, Khlong Nin and Ba Kan Tiang lies in the west, can be reached by road and offer a wide range of accommodations.
Day 2 : Krabi
Ko Phi Phi
Regarded by travelers from all walks of life as being among the most beautiful tropical islands of the world, Phi Phi Islands have become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Thailand. In addition, the islands are famous as the location where the movie ""The Beach"" featuring Leonardo Di Caprio was shot. The islands, together with the nearby Noppharat Thara Beach, a total area of 390 square kilometers, were recently established as a national park.
Phi Phi Islands are located just 40 kilometers away from both Krabi and Phuket. Thus, despite the fact that both Noppharat Thara Beach and Phi Phi administratively are a part of Krabi Province, most tourists think that Ko Phi Phi is part of Phuket Province.
The islands and the coastal hills are composed mainly of limestone and are an extension of the limestone mountain range in Phang-Nga Province. The main characteristics of these mountains and islands are their steep cliffs, large caves and dwarf trees growing out of the rock crevices, like those in Phang-Nga Bay.
Diving and snorkeling
Like Phang-nga, Krabi offers a great opportunity for diving due to its numerous natural marine resources including over a hundred offshore islands. Dive shops around Rai Le and Ao Nang provide dive trips as well as rent diving and snorkeling gear such as mask/snorkel/fin at the rate of 150 baht/ set/ day (with a deposit of 500 baht).
The advantage of diving from Ao Nang is the nearby sites in the Poda Island group, where water visibility is better than that of the mainland, but not as good as Phi Phi. There are 15 dive sites off of Ao Nang, all reachable with a 20 to 60-minute boat ride. For experienced divers there is a 50-meter long cave at 5-12 meters depth at Yawabon Island behind Poda.
The water visibility is at its best from November to April. Unlike Ko Phi Phi, some Ao Nang dive shops and operators close during low season, May to October, while some (Ao Nang Divers for instance) remain open all year long. Two local dives in the Poda/Yawasam group cost approximately 1,900 baht. Four-day PADI open water courses have risen to 10,000 baht.
Day 3 : Krabi
Rock climbing
Apart from marine sports, Krabi is also an ideal place for rock climbing. Lines of sheer limestone cliffs along Tham Phranang and Rai Le beaches have challenged thousands of climbers from all over the world every year. The levels of difficulty of the various routes vary, so even the most inexperienced climbers can experiment. Equipment, instruction and guides are available at most lodgings.
Emerald Pool
This hot spring originates from a warm stream in the lowland forest of Khao Nor Juji which is supposedly Thailand's last piece of virgin and fertile forest. The intensity of the pools turquoise colored water varies according to the light and time of the day so visitors determined to see the real emerald color should plan to visit at dawn or early in the morning. The pool, which can be visited all year round, charges and entrance fee of 20 baht. To get there, take Highway No. 4 to Khlong Thom District, then turn left to Route No. 4038 to Lam Hap Sub-district. The Emerald pool is located along the way, with clear signs posted.
Day 4 : Krabi
Noppharat Thara Beach
Noppharat Thara Beach , located 6 kilometers from Ao Nang, is a famous 3-kilometer long white sandy beach lined with dense casuarinas and coconut groves. The beach, paved with tiny seashells, was formerly called ""Hat Khlong Haeng"", which means dried canal beach by locals, because the canal dries up during low tide and the area turns into a long beach.
Hat Noppharat Thara is situated 18 kilometers north-west of Krabi. It is a part of Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park and is the location of the Park headquarters. This Park covers a large area both onshore and offshore. Reservations for accommodations on the beach should be made in advance at the Forestry Department in Bangkok.
For more information, you con contact at Tel: (02) 5797223, 5795734, or at Hat Noppharat Thara National Park, P.O. Box 23, Amphoe Mueang, Krabi 81000, Tel: (075) 6347436
Ferry services to Ko Phi Phi are provided from this beach all year round. This beach can be reached by songthaew from the city at the rate of THB20. To travel further to Ao Nang, it will cost an additional THB10.
Canoeing and kayaking
Canoeing and kayaking are two ways to enjoy the spectacular seascape, limestone cliffs and caves in Krabi's waters. These sports allow visitors to explore hidden offshore areas at a more leisurely pace.
Canoeing and kayaking operators are available at Ao Nang.
Day 5 : Krabi - Ayutthaya
Bang Pa-in Summer Palace
Bang Pa-in Summer Palace is situated a few miles down the Chao Phraya River from Ayutthaya. The site was first used by the royal court as a summer retreat in the 17th century. However, the Palace was destroyed with the fall of Kingdom of Ayutthaya and was restored by King Rama IV in the mid-19th century.
Most of the buildings that exist today date from the reign of King Rama V, who regularly spent his summers there. The structures represent a variety of architectural styles, set in a large park around ponds and waterways. The only royal residence open to the public is the Chiness-style Wehat Chamroon Palace, constructed entirely of materials imported from China. In addition, there is an Italian-style palace, a circular pavilion with steps leading down to a pool, the graceful Thai-style Aisawan Tippaya Asna Pavilion in the middle of a lake, and, across one of the waterways, a Buddhist chapel in the neo-Gothic style with stained-glass windows. Scattered around the extensive gardens are European statues as well as monuments ordered to be built by King Rama V in memory of members of his family, one of them a much-loved Queen who drowned in a boating accident.
It is opened from 8:30a.m. - 5 p.m. everyday while the ticket office opens during 8:30a.m. -3:30 p.m. For more information, you can contact at Tel: +66 2 224 9477 or visit the website at http://www.palaces.thai.net/
The address is Bangkok, CM 13160 Thailand
Ayutthaya Historical Park
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ayutthaya's historic temples are scattered throughout this once magnificent city and along the encircling rivers. Several of the more central ruins Wat Phra Si Sanphet, Wat Mongkhon Bophit, Wat Na Phra Meru, Wat Thammikarat, Wat Ratburana and Wat Phra Mahathat can be visited on foot.
It is possible to add more temples and ruins to travel itineraries by touring the city on a rented bicycle. An ideal combination of modes of transportation for visitors interested in seeing everything would be to hire a bicycle for the central temples and charter a long-tail boat to take a tour of the outlying ruins along the river.
Ayutthaya Historical Park is situated opposite the Chao Sam Phraya National Museum. The main attraction in the historical park is Viharn Phramongkol Bophit which houses one of the largest bronze Buddha images in Thailand.
Biking in Ayutthaya to visit following temples
Wat Chaiwatthanaram
The temple is located on the bank of the Maenam Chao Phraya (River), to the west of the city island. It is built in 1630 by King Prasat Thong to honor his mother. Wat Chai Wattanaram was conceived as a replica of the Angkor temple.
A Royal monastery, the temples unique feature is a huge prang which is surrounded by smaller prangs. This symbolizes Mount Meru, the abode of the heavenly gods. The temple is also accessible by a long-tailed boat trip from Chankasem Palace Pier. This 1-hour round trip to the temple costs about THB300 - 400. Entry fee to the temple is only THB20.
Wat Phra Si Sanphet
Wat Pra Si Sanphet was built by King U-Thong upon the founding of the city in 1491 inside the compound of the Grand Palace. Its foundations are still visible-and served as the royal chapel, as Wat Phra Kaeo does in Bangkok. It used to be the royal palace as a residential palace. It became a monastery in the reign of King Ramathibodi I.
When King Borom Trai Lokanat commanded the construction of new living quarters, this residential palace was transformed into a temple, and the establishment of Wat Phra Si Sanphet. In Ayutthaya's heyday, this was the largest temple in the city.
The three main chedis which have been restored contain the ashes of three Ayutthaya kings. The temple is situated at the northern end of Si Sanphet Road. The royal chapel does not have any monks and novice inhabitants.
Thai dinner
Thai food has become in recent years one of the world's favorite cuisines. Talking about ""Thai food"", means talking of four very distinct regions in the country, each with their own culinary traditions. It is talking about the dishes created in the royal courts and palaces of Old Siam, that have been passed down through many generations of chefs, and finally into public domain.
Good food also comes up from the street level, and many of Thailand's most popular dishes can be found at the smallest food stalls and restaurants. And there is the influence of China, India, Malaysia and other neighboring countries.
So all these different factors come together under the label ""Thai food"",and you will find them in varying degrees at any Thai restaurant you care to visit, anywhere in the world.
Day 6 : Ayutthaya - Bangkok
Bangkok Sightseeing City Tram
You can see the sights of inner Bangkok from an electric city tram. En-route a professional guide describing the attractions as passengers relax and view Rattanakosin Island's myriad sights and sounds such as the Grand Palace, Paklong Talad Flower Market, the Ta Chang Pier, the National Museum and the National Gallery. The can provide multi-lingual commentary. You can catch the tram near front gates of the Grand Palace in Sanam Luang, which leaves every thirty minutes.
Chatuchak Market
Chatuchak Market is the Worlds Biggest Weekend Market selling practically everything under the sun, from the smallest nails, to foods, trendy fashions, antiques intricate wooden carvings, masks from far-off lands, adorable fluffy dogs, colorful fish of every hue and singing birds.
The market is as huge including 9,000 individual booths filled with every type of wares catching the trends. You can get anything from incense to insects and food stalls in case you get hungry.
It opens only on evening of weekends (Saturdays and Sundays).

- Fit: Runs small
These are great shorts- good cut, nice fabric, great quality- but run a bit small. Ordered for my hubby who is a 30" waist and they were a bit snug around the waist. I suggest others order a size up to get that truly comfy, casual Bermuda short feel.
The latest new fabric in Billabong's hybrid lineup. A little heavier fabric with the same quick dry features. Great for hiking, biking, trail running, golfing, spring shredding and any watersport. True beach to bar model. Great fit & feel

Seattle Chocolates Devil's Delight Bar
It's fun to see all the kids candy for Halloween, but sometimes adults want something a little special too. Enter Seattle Chocolates Devil's Delight Dark Chocolate Truffle Bar with Peanut Butter & Pretzels. It's described as Salted pretzel pieces and creamy peanut butter in dark chocolate that uses Rainforest Alliance Certified™ cocoa. A devilishly delicious combination!. That definitely sounds right up my alley.
It's nice to see a seasonal bar using ethically sourced cacao, and in this case, it's no more expensive than other similar bar on store shelves.
Don't be disappointed if it's not your cup of tea, there are two others: Bloody Orange Truffle Bar and Dead Sea Salt Truffle Bar.
The bar is compact and uses the same mold as all the other Seattle Chocolates bars I've tried. At 2.5 ounces, it's a bit too much to eat in one sitting and not quite enough for two portions. Basically, it's perfect for the stingy sharer ... give one section to another person, eat the rest yourself.
The pieces are thick sections that hold the truffle filling.
The bar smells pleasantly nutty with a woodsy chocolate component. The dark chocolate is bittersweet and has a nice, silky melt. The filling is a little odd. It's very peanutty, which I enjoyed and had some good salty pops. But the pretzel pieces seemed stale, as can happen when mixing with inclusions. I liked the peanut butter part, very smooth and nutty and offset well by the dark chocolate. I think they mix the peanut butter in with white chocolate, which is genius. Overall, I liked it, though I didn't finish it in one sitting. One of the things I've seen that solves the stale pretzel problem is to give them a quick dip in chocolate before mixing them in.
This bar was sent to me as a sample from Seattle Chocolates, but I did see them for sale at Cost Plus World Market.

Equal Exchange Peanut Butter
Equal Exchange, the cooperative that sells cocoa, coffee, tea and chocolate made with fair trade ingredients sent me some of their new candy bars. They really fit right into the candy bar sector, not the high end chocolate bars. They currently make three bars, I thought I'd tackle a review of the Equal Exchange Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Filled Bar first, since it's the one with the widest appeal.
The bar is 1.5 ounces, which is a perfect single serving size. The wrapper is orange, lots and lots of orange, which is the universal color to represent peanuts, just like blue is supposed to represent milk chocolate. The bars are made in Peru with cacao from Peruvian cocoa co-ops.
The format of the bar is simple, it's long and narrow with 7 segments. Inside the milk chocolate shell is a peanut butter filling. The ingredients are very simple: sugar, cocoa butter, milk powder, peanuts, chocolate solids, sea salt and soy lecithin. (Organic where possible.) There are not additional oils in there, which is a nice change. Many peanut butter candies use some vegetable oils to stabilize the peanut butter.
The bar smells sweet and a little nutty, but not terribly notable or enticing. The chocolate is smooth, rather sweet but overall has no real defining kick. The peanut butter center is firm, but melts well in the mouth. There's no chalky grain like many American peanut butter candies. There's a little hint of salt ... but it's missing a roasted peanut oomph. I recognize this may be because the peanuts used for the peanut butter are not American (though the label doesn't say their source). It's a little grassy, but not much else. It's kind of like Reese's Pieces. The ratios are a lot more balanced, you can see there's a lot of chocolate for the amount of peanut butter.
Overall, this is not a bar I would purchase. There are some good options out there in the peanut butter cup format for those looking for better ingredients and sourcing. For those in Canada, you can also find these bars under the Camino label. As far as Equal Exchange goes, I will still continue to eat the Milk Chocolate Caramel Crunch with Sea Salt, it's an excellent hybrid of high end chocolate and candy satisfaction.

Mega Peanut M&Ms
Last week I showed off the new Milk Chocolate Mega M&Ms, this week I have the Mega Peanut M&Ms. I picked both bags up at CVS on sale at two bags for $5.00. Since the bag is 11.4 ounces, that's a pretty good deal.
The bag makes use of the familiar yellow of the Peanut M&Ms franchise and a blue Mega logo similar to the one on the Milk Chocolate M&Ms bag (which has a brown background).
The Milk Chocolate Mega M&Ms boasted 3 times more chocolate, but the Peanut Mega M&Ms only say that there's more chocolate and bigger peanuts.
While the Mega Milk Chocolate M&Ms were obviously bigger, I didn't see much of a difference when I dumped a handful of these out. So, that meant that I had to go back out and pick up some regular Peanut M&Ms for comparison. The Mega are on the left and the regular are on the right. Some are identically sized, but many of the Mega are obviously bigger than the standard.
Oddly enough I didn't find the Megas were different for me, they tasted and behaved like the Peanut M&Ms I might want to eat. That said, I feel like Peanut M&Ms have gotten smaller over the years and these may just be what I used to find ordinary. The chocolate ratio is good, there's plenty of chocolate there's a good crunch from the shell and a good crunch from the peanuts. I just don't see that big of a difference to warrant another slot on the store shelves for this when they could make room for Coffee M&Ms or Crispy M&Ms.

Revisit Reviews: Pretzel M&Ms, Rally Bar and Snickers Rockin' Nut Road
Every once in a while candies get a revamp, so I like to revisit them. Here are a few that caught my eye.
Pretzel M&Ms were introduced in 2010 (original review) and have done well enough for Mars that they have continued as part of their regular repertoire, even getting seasonal color varieties for the holidays. I noticed a new version on shelves that advertised "now more pretzel taste." Since I was able to find the previous version, I thought I'd taste them side-by-side. They have similar "best before" dates.
They look identical. The originals are on the left and the new version are on the right. Same colors, same shape, same size.
It is striking how much better the new ones are. The new ones are crunchier, taste lighter and airier yet have more of that malty, pretzel toasted coating. There was no difference I could see in the ingredients or in the new nutrition panel. They're still a pretty low calorie candy treat, at only 150 calories per package, they're pretty satisfying without being too fatty. (Of course the portion is only 1.14 ounces, but there's a lot going on with the textures.)
The original rating stands at 7 out of 10. They're not perfect and I still don't think I've bought them since the first introduction (though I eat them when given a sample package, which happens once or twice a year). I still go for the Almond M&Ms when given the chance.
Hershey's Rally Bar is a strange sort of candy bar in that it appears and disappears on store shelves with little notice. It's a Hershey's candy bar, first test marketed in the late 1960s, it was in wide distribution by 1970 across the country. The advertising theme was: Reach Me a Rally Bar, the Milk Chocolate Covered Nut Roll for the Man-Sized Appetite as well as the more gender-neutral The Crowded Candy Bar. This was one of the Hershey Corporation's earliest attempts at advertising, before this they stood with the founder's position that a quality product would sell itself. More about the Rally Bar on Collecting Candy.
The candy bar has no real package identity to adhere to in this reissue. This is what it looked like back in 2008 and this is what it looked like in 2004. The new one doesn't even mention the name Hershey on the front. I picked it up at Walgreen's as an exclusive item.
Though it was probably a chocolate candy bar when it was introduced, by the 2004 wrapper it was evident that this was a mockolate item. (Here's my original review.)
This is smaller than the 2.2 ounce bar I tried back in 2008. This is 1.66 ounces (which is actually a good size for me). It smells like peanuts. The fudgy center is like a nougat, it's soft and chewy with little flavor of its own. The peanuts are Payday-like, they're crunchy, though not quite as salty. The chocolatey coating actually has a hint of salt, keeping it from being sickly sweet. Overall, it's an okay bar but I don't see it as that different from a Baby Ruth.
I stand by my previous rating of 6 out of 10.
There was a time when there were oodles of limited edition candies - not a month went by in the late Aughts that the major candy companies didn't present a flavor twist on one of their tried and true candies. Snickers alone went through many iterations including: Shrek (green nougat), Indiana Jones (spiced nougat), Charged (caffeinated), 3X (chocolate nougat, chocolate caramel), Fudge (chocolate fudge instead of nougat), Xtreme (no nougat) and Nut n Butter Crunch (peanut buttery nougat).
The Snickers Rockin' Nut Road changed up a few items in the standard Snickers Bar. First, they replaced the milk chocolate coating with dark chocolate. I approve. Second, they replaced the peanuts with almonds. I find this to be a good substitution. Third, they changed the lightly peanut butter nougat with a smoother marshmallow nougat. Definitively goes with the other two items. The structure is the same - nutty nougat on the bottom, caramel on the top and covered in chocolate.
I gave these an 8 out of 10 rating last time (full review) and I fully endorse them again this time. The nougat is smoother than the 3 Musketeers style and the crunch of the almonds is great. It's more of a variation on the classic Mars Bar, but I won't quibble with Mars if they want to bring this back. (In fact, I prefer it to the standard Snickers Almond, which replaced the Mars bar).

Justin's White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Justin's White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are a limited edition version of their dark and milk chocolate peanut butter cups. They're available only at Whole Foods this winter.
What sets these apart from other white peanut butter cups is the fact that Justin's not only uses real white chocolate, it's also fair trade cacao butter.
All of the ingredients are organic except the sea salt,which is an inorganic item anyway. The palm oil is sustainably sourced and the cacao comes from Rainforest Alliance certified growers. Justin's is gluten free as well.
Still, with all those qualifiers, they're still a white chocolate candy, which has a pretty narrow band of fans.
The cups are beautiful, a creamy yellow white with a little dollop in the center. The white chocolate has a lot of milk in it (the third ingredient) and has a lot of dairy flavors to it. The peanut butter center is salty, with a grainy crunch but also a smooth roasted flavor to it. From my early taste tests of Justin's peanut butter cups, they've really come a long way in balancing out the texture of the center without being too oily or too dry. The white chocolate bring a lot of creaminess and vanilla flavors, the overall effect is like eating peanut butter cookie dough.
I'm a fan of good white chocolate (and will eat bad white confections against my better judgement) and this is some very well made stuff. Since Reese's switched to a white confection, as far as I know, these are the only nationally distributed white chocolate peanut butter cups available.
I did notice one odd thing on the package. The cups are 1.4 ounces total and it says that it's 180 calories. But the rest of the nutrition panel does not support that. There are 16 grams of fat (9 calories per gram) and 19 grams of carbs (4 calories per gram) then 4 grams of protein (4 calories per gram) all tallies up to 236 calories, not 180. (Reese's Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter cups are 210 calories for 1.5 ounces.) So if these calculations are correct, that's 169 calories per ounce. Mmm, high fat density.
I like these and I'd probably pick them up again. But Justin, where are those dark chocolate hazelnut butter cups I've been longing for?

Nestle Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups
This fall Nestle announced it was launching Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups in January 2014. Butterfinger is an iconic American candy bar, combining peanuts and sugar and chocolate. The bar has been adapted into a half a dozen other formats and confections. There's were Butterfinger BBs, Butterfinger Crisp, Butterfinger Snackerz, Butterfinger Stixx, Butterfinger Bites, Butterfinger Chocolate Bars and even the caffeinated Butterfinger Buzz.
I suppose it was only a matter of time before Nestle decided to take on the cup format and the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Nestle plans to go big with their launch of the Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups, with a full ad campaign including a commercial during the 2014 Superbowl.
There's a couple of curiosities about these cups. First, they have no paper cups. They are fluted, but there's no paper liner on the tray in the package.
The second thing is that they're not round. The circular base is far smaller than the top, which is a rounded square. There's quite an angle towards the top which means that the ratio of chocolate to filling changes at the perimeter versus the center.
The cups are described simply as Smooth & Crunchy on the package.
The filling is quite salty. There's a creamy component that is very sweet, then the chunky, crunchy bits of Butterfinger centers. There's a very strong artificial butter flavor to the whole thing, much stronger than an actual Butterfinger bar. The chocolate profile itself is overshadowed by the butter flavor of the center, so it's hard for it to contribute anything other than texture. That said, it's pretty smooth though sweet. It's certainly better than the coating on a Butterfinger Bar.
The ingredients are interesting, notably that they've removed the artificial colorings from this candy. (Butterfinger Bars have artificial yellow and red food coloring in them.)
Contains milk, soy and peanuts, may contain nuts. No mention of gluten.
The package has the Cocoa Plan logo on the front. This is Nestle's new initiative to bring sustainable practices to their cocoa growers through education programs. The programs are to help growers use better practices to increase yields, reduce losses as well as creating schools for the children in their communities. It's an internal program that Nestle operates that does not, as far as I know, have any external audits or benchmarks, though they do also buy from Fairtrade and UTZ certified sources in quantities to match certain products so that they can bear their logo.
There are a lot of similarities between the Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups and the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. It's probably not a coincidence. Each cup is .75 ounces, with the package holding two totaling 1.5 ounces.
From the above you can see the long and complicated ingredient list for the Butterfinger Cups. The Reese's cups are far simpler.
Simpler does not necessarily mean better. Both cups have TBHQ in them, which is a preservative (keeps the peanut oil from getting rancid). But both are rather small in mass for a candy bar these days. A Snickers Bar or Butterfinger Bar is over 2 ounces. These cups are kind of puny.
But in the ingredients list, you'll notice that the Reese's have no added oils, no fractionated palm kernel oil or hydrogenated rapeseed oil. But I've got to admire the bang for the buck I get with the Butterfinger, it has 20 more calories from fat than the Reese's. Here's the comparison of the nutritional panels for both cups:
So, the Butterfinger is less salty and just slightly fattier - some of the protein grams of the Reese's are fat grams in the Butterfinger. This is an odd observation, since the Reese's Cups I know and love usually have a soft, greasy spot in the center of the chocolate on each cup where the peanut oils have migrated from the peanut butter into the chocolate. As far as I can tell, the Butterfinger Cups are far more stable and consistent.
They're different candies. They share some of their format and the basic flavors but the textural experience is different. I still prefer the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, but that's probably because I've grown up with it. I don't care for the fake, overly sweet butter flavor of the Butterfinger Bar or these Cups. But I do appreciate the variation in the textures. Overall, I usually go for the smaller ingredients list and I prefer my candy to have the innate oils from the flavor ingredients, not added ones. But it's a good candy and I think they'll probably last longer than Butterfinger Stixx.

SweetWorks Foil Covered Chocolate
SweetWorks, which makes many flavors of the break apart chocolate orange and Sixlets, also makes a wide variety of foil wrapped chocolate pieces and figures for all occasions.
Their holiday range is quite diverse, featuring chocolate balls, disks and semi-solid figures. The company sent me a huge box filled with confections to sample before Thanksgiving, and I've finally made it through all of the items before Christmas.
SweetWorks Milk Chocolate Ornaments are one of the classics. They're just a little solid chocolate sphere wrapped in foil.
Foil Colors: Solid Hunter Green, Solid Red, Diamon Silver, Diamond Blue, Diamond Red.
Taste: The milky chocolate is very smooth and has a lot of dairy notes to it. It's on the sweet side but also has a lot of vanilla notes to it.
Verdict: Very nice, easily munchable. This sort of piece will appeal to kids and adults.
Rating: 8 out of 10
SweetWorks Milk Chocolate Crisp Balls
Foil Colors: Hunter Green, Silver & Red
Taste: The milky chocolate has a nice ratio of crisped rice. It's creamy, a little softer than the solid chocolate bars but not quite as sweet.
Verdict: This is what I want from my candy in my stocking. It's comforting and filling but still attractive.
Rating: 8 out of 10
SweetWorks Dark Chocolate Balls
Foil Colors: Hunter Green, Gold & Red
Taste: These are extremely dark looking, almost black. I checked and noticed the ingredients list: sugar, chocolate, chocolate processed with alkali, cocoa butter, butterfat (milk), soy lecithin, and vanilla. So this chocolate contains alkalized cocoa, which makes it darker. It also has butterfat in it, so it's not vegan, which is too bad, because it's hard to find vegan holiday treats. The flavor profile is a little odd. It's definitely not overly sweet, but the particle size of the chocolate gives it a slight grain and a dry finish.
Verdict: I liked them well enough to pick them out as something to eat in combination with other things, like nuts, but I didn't like the dry afterbite.
Rating: 7 out of 10
SweetWorks Solid Milk Chocolate Bells
Foil Colors: Hunter Green, Silver & Red
Taste: These are a bigger bite than the balls, about 2/3 bigger, so it's a lot more chocolate at once. I noticed the smoothness of the melt much more in this shape.
Verdict: These are easier to peel and eat, though one piece is a little bigger than I prefer a bit of chocolate to be. But they don't roll around, so that's a plus.
Rating: 7 out of 10
SweetWorks Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Bells
Foil Colors: Green with Silver Trees & Red with Silver Trees
Taste: These didn't smell like much in the package, but once unwrapped there was a nice fresh peanut scent. The milky chocolate is really smooth and the peanut center was part meltaway, part peanut butter.
Verdict: They're not the same texture or peanut flavor profile as Reese's, so as long as you're okay with that, these are very satisfying.
Rating: 8 out of 10
SweetWorks Milk Chocolate Medallions
Foil Colors: White Snowman, Blue Santa, Green Teddy Bear & Red Reindeer
Taste: Milky, sweet and creamy.
Verdict: This was the most disappointing design as far as I was concerned. They seemed dated and missed an opportunity for something a little more splashy. A simple patterned foil or perhaps better artwork for the illustrations would have put these over the top. I like the format of the disks, as they're easier to bite than bells and something that can be used in S'mores very easily.
Rating: 6 out of 10
SweetWorks Milk Chocolate Santas
Foil Colors: Dominantly Red with Green & Yellow Accents - 4 designs
Taste: Thin and long, it's an easy two bite piece. They were exceptionally shiny.
Verdict: Like the medallions, the design of the Santa foil is a little dated. But in the case I found it utterly charming, especially since I could walk them around on my desk and set them up in little tableaus as if they were interacting. The bonus here is that the Santa is molded with quite a bit of detail, so even unwrapped they're beguiling.
Rating: 7 out of 10
SweetWorks Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Santas
Foil Colors: Dominantly Red with Blue & Bronze Accents - 4 designs
Taste: This has a similar light peanutty flavor to the Bells. It's not a deep roasted flavor, it seemed a bit saltier and a little thick/stickier in the melt.
Verdict: I didn't like the ratios as much as the Bells, but I have to appreciate the cute little Santa expressions.
Rating: 7 out of 10
SweetWorks Milk Chocolate Hollow Foil comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. They have Turkeys in full feather, Santas, Nutcrackers and a Rocking Horse. (I think they also do a Teddy Bear.) These are very sturdy, the foil is thick and well designed. Instead of a bit piece that wraps around to the back, these are crimped. This means that there's a full front and back design with a large seam where the two sides are pinched together.
The sizes vary, as you can tell from the photos. As an example, the SweetWorks Milk Chocolate Santa is a little shy of 6 inches and weighs 70 grams (2.5 ounces). The base of the Santa is thick, which makes it very stable when standing. They're all very attractive designs and would be good as either stocking stuffers or as decorations on a cookie plate or as place settings at a table.
The SweetWorks Hollow Chocolate Rocking Horse is 3.5 ounces, so the same as a standard tablet bar, only in a fancier format. SweetWorks uses all natural milk chocolate for their hollow molded figures. The ingredients list only: sugar, cocoa butter, milk, chocolate, soy lecithin and vanilla. They're also kosher and gluten-free though processed in a facility with tree nuts and peanuts. The SweetWorks Hollow Chocolate Nutcracker is the largest of the pieces they make for Christmas, at 4.5 ounces and is nearly 7 inches tall.
The SweetWorks Milk Chocolate Turkey is only 1 ounce, but seems like a far larger portion. The base, like the others, is mostly solid which keeps the figure upright whether it's wrapped or not. The chocolate tastes milkier and smoother than the foil covered balls. (My guess is that the formulation is just a little different for the molded chocolate because of the production demands of filling the intricate molds.)
Rating: 8 out of 10
Like the others, the molding details are great, it really is a nicely sculpted turkey and completely recognizable when it's unwrapped. I liked these much better than the Hershey's or Dove versions found at Easter, but they're not quite as rich as the Lindt foil figures. I really liked the Rocking Horse though, I thought its design set it apart from the other offerings on the store shelves. I saw the Turkeys at Dylan's Candy Bar, and I think they were $2.99 but online they're a bit less. I just wish they were easier to find. For Easter they make a 3.5 ounce Yellow Chick and 3 ounce sitting Rabbit. It makes me wonder if there are figures that could be more "year round" or generic for parties and decorations since the Teddy Bear seems like a natural item for a baby shower.
SweetWorks can be found in the bulk bins at Dylan's Candy Bar (and probably other places). Their foil balls actually come in a dozen colors and are also available as hearts year round in a wide color and texture palette. You're more likely to find these online (you can buy direct from SweetWorks.net) and usually for a pretty decent price for all natural chocolate that isn't Hershey's Kisses.

Peanut M&Ms Intense 65% Cacao
My European candy blogging friends latched onto a new product last year, the Peanut M&Ms Intense 65% Cacao which are made in France but sold in quite a few European countries. When I had the opportunity to do a candy swap with Kristian at CandyBrain.de, this was on my wishlist of items.
I have to admit that the United States has the most diverse selection of M&MS, and we've even had Dark Chocolate Peanut M&Ms in stores before. So, I was mightily surprised to see that France got 65% cacao M&Ms before we did.
The bag is pretty big, with 9 ounces in a stand up gusset package. Instead of the zip top that many snack sized packages are getting the US, this on has a little sticker on the back you can peel off to use to hold it closed after you roll the top down.
The color variety for these is interesting. I looked at the ingredient panel to check if these were all natural, and it appears that it's nearly so. I looked up all the colorings and found the following listed:
e100 is Turmeric, a yellow-orange dye (derived from plants)
Here's the weird thing about the coloring used on the shells. I could tell what some of the colors were without looking by the taste. The red one had a banana note and the orange one had a hint of curry.
The shell is quite the same as in the US version. It's crunchy and not too thick but doesn't crack easily. They smell nicely of cocoa and a hint of roasted peanuts. The chocolate inside is quite dark, with an immediate bitter note and a little bit of a dry undertone. It's creamy and a little chalky but not in a grainy way. The peanuts however, were weird. I found most of mine were over-roasted, too dark, bitter and just plain ... well, not right. Maybe they're not American peanuts, which I admit I'm quite acclimated to.
I wanted to like these more than I did, though I had no trouble eating them all. Of course the fact that they're not available in the United States solves any issues I'd have if I did love them a little too much. Now ... maybe if they started putting Marcona almonds or Hazelnuts in there along with the dark chocolate ... then we might have something that would drive me to order from eBay regularly. I would be even better if the M&Ms World Stores would stock these international versions.

If you've never been on a cruise, Holland America Line will be happy to take you on a virtual tour. Just scan the Microsoft Tags in its brochures or print ads with your smartphone, and you'll be transported to a robust mobile site with videos of onboard activities, from dining to night clubs. Aloha, baby!
Mobile Marketer interviewed Sally Andrews, vice president of public relations at Holland America, about its adoption of Tag for mobile marketing. "The Microsoft Tag technology is another innovative way to more actively engage the consumer in our brand experience, and leverages the latest technology to do so," says Andrews.
"It's one thing to read about the various dining options you have on a cruise and see beautiful photo examples of the food," she notes. "It's a different experience entirely to hear the Master Chef talking about the culinary offering, our newly formed Culinary Council of world-renowned chefs, and to see the kitchen and dining venues in a video."

For the Toasted Cumin Yogurt
• 1 tsp. toasted cumin

• Juice from one Lemon
• 1 oz. Extra virgin olive oil

1. Place equal amounts of roasted chicken in 8-10, warmed 6" flour Tortillas. Top with Plum and Olive Slaw, Toasted Cumin Yogurt and sprinkle with Feta cheese
Chef Notes:
1. Works great with grilled beef, fish, pork and of course lobster
2. You may add other stone fruit to the slaw, peaches and apricots work beautifully.
3. You can substitute any other cheese to replace feta; farmers market cheese curds work well
