— Victor Newman's catchphrase
Victor Newman (born Christian Miller) is a fictional character on The Young and the Restless, played by actor Eric Braeden since February 1980. The character briefly appeared on The Bold and the Beautiful in 1999. Victor was originally intended to be a short-term character as part of a six-month storyline, but developed into a male lead protagonist sometimes antagonist and antihero. Braeden won a Daytime Emmy Award in 1998 for Lead Actor in a Drama Series for the role.
Much of his history on the series revolves around his long-running conflict with rival businessman Jack Abbott (portrayed originally by Terry Lester, and since 1989 by Peter Bergman), his ruthless nature, many marriages, and the infamous triangle involving Victor and ex-wives Ashley Abbott and Nikki Reed.
Christian Miller was the son of Albert and Cora Miller. He had one older sister, Rienette Miller, and one younger brother, Matt Miller.
Albert abandoned his family and when Christian was seven his mother put him and his brother in an orphanage because she was unable to provide for him and his brother. This gave Christian a strong determination to be successful and independent. After he left the orphanage he changed his name to Victor Newman because he declared himself a victorious new man.
Victor originally came to Genoa City in 1980 to help Katherine Chancellor run Chancellor Industries. He brought his wife Julia Newman with him and bought a ranch from Katherine and renamed it the Newman Ranch. Victor kept Julia a recluse in the ranch house while he worked. Longing for work of her own, Julia took a modeling job with photographer Michael Scott who was attracted to her. Victor became jealous and when Julia turned up pregnant, he was convinced that the baby was Michael's. In retaliation, Victor imprisoned Michael in the old bomb shelter on the ranch. Julia found Michael and freed him.
While they were attempting to flee the Newman Ranch, Victor happened upon the pair and a fist fight between Michael and Victor ensued. Julia involved herself in the crossfire and suffered a terrible fall leading her to miscarry. Blood tests eventually proved that Victor was, in fact, the father before Julia and Michael left town together.
Nikki, Ashley, Leanna and HopeEdit
On the business front, Victor built a corporate empire called Newman Enterprises, which gave him an estimated net-worth of somewhere between $18-$60 billion. Victor subsequently commenced a relationship with Nikki Reed which became a decades long on again/off again romance. They conceived two children together, Victoria Newman and Nicholas Newman. During his first marriage to Nikki, Victor had an affair with Ashley Abbott. Ashley became pregnant with Victor's child and soon had an abortion, a move she lived to regret. Grief over the loss of the offspring tore Victor and Ashley apart though Victor still loved her.
Leanna "Love" Randolph was hired by both Victor and Jack Abbott to write a biography of Victor. Jack's version of the book was intended to be a tell all entitled Ruthless: The Victor Newman Story. Without Jack's knowledge, Leanna added a chapter which exposed Victor and Ashley's affair. Believing Nikki was behind the publication, Victor divorced her and married Leanna. They were later divorced. To get revenge on Jack for his role in publishing the book, Victor took over Jack's family company, Jabot Cosmetics. Out of revenge, Jack married Nikki. Victor responded by offering to give Jabot back if Jack agreed to end the marriage. He accepted the deal, but did not get his family company back because of a loophole Victor put in the deal.
Victor and Ashley, who visited a cottage they attended during their affair, reunited and eventually wed. His daughter Victoria, who returned to town, was discontented with the marriage and attempted to separate them. The relationship ended when Nikki's health troubles drew Victor back to her. After contributing to the death of both Nikki and Jack's unborn child, Victor left town and ended up on a farm in Kansas where he met Hope Adams. The two fell in love and he brought her back to Genoa City. They marred and had a son, Victor Adam Newman. They later divorced and Hope returned to her farm in Kansas.
Jack vs. VictorEdit
Forwarding his animosity for Jack, Victor married Jack's former girlfriend, Diane Jenkins. He divorced her after Nikki was wounded and thought to be dying. He supposedly remarried her on her deathbed, intending to remarry Diane after Nikki died. However, Nikki remarkably survived leaving Diane concerned for her relationship with Victor, who broke it off with her.
Victor and Nikki officially remarried in 2002 after the acknowledgement that their prior wedding was invalid because Nikki survived. Nikki was interested in a third child. Victor refused and decided to get a vasectomy, but went trhough a process where he had some sperm stored in a sperm bank. Diane, who still loved Victor, stole it planning to impregnate herself with his child. The sperm was stolen from her multiple times from Nikki and Ashley respectively. In the end, Diane became pregnant with Jack's child through his sperm bank donation and Ashley became pregnant with Victor's daughter, Abby Newman. Abby's paternity was not revealed to Victor until Abby told him when she was five.
Victor was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy due to head trauma he received while rescuing Nikki from a car-jacking attempt. Jack learned of this and took advantage of Victor for quite some time. In the process, however, a strange friendship formed between them, one which Victor continued to play upon once he had the condition under control. Ultimately, he felt betrayed by Jack once again, although this time it was more personal because of their friendship. Victor revealed the truth to Jack when he informed him that he knew the truth about Jack, not Ji Min Kim, owning Jabot.
Adam and SabrinaEdit
Victor left Genoa City to be at Hope's bedside as she suffered her final moments with pancreatic cancer. On her death bed, she explained to Victor, Jr., now going by Adam Wilson, that Victor was his biological father. Hope had raised their son with Cliff Wilson after she and Victor divorced, changed Victor, Jr.'s last name to Wilson and let him think Cliff was his father. Hope eventually succumbed to the cancer that was eating away at her, and it was Victor's strong wish that his son would join him at Newman Enterprises. Eventually a grown Adam came to Genoa City. With Victor at odds with the rest of his family, Adam filled the void as both son and right-hand-man.
In 2008, Victor fell in love Sabrina Costelana, a friend of Victoria's from Florence, Italy. Victoria disapproved of their relationship and was angry when they decided to marry. Nick also disapproved but was more angry at his father for his controlling ways in business. Victor shifted Victoria's position within Newman Enterprises and gave it to Adam, which increased her bitterness about Adam's presence, enough so that she decided to leave her father's company. Adam then moved into Victoria's office at Newman and accepted Victor's offer to reside at the ranch. Victor created further tension in the family by giving Adam full reign over the company's cosmetics line. On June 20, 2008, Victor and Sabrina married. On August 1, 2008, Sabrina Newman died as the result of a car crash that also kills David Chow.
Her death led to a downward spiral for Victor who was out for revenge against Walter Palin, the man responsible for Sabrina's death. He went to Mexico planning to kill him. He instead idd nothing to save him when the boat they went out on was taken down in a storm. Nikki reached out to Victor, who rejected her. His children met with the same rejection. He also discharged Adam when he learned of his crude ways while absent. Nikki then contacted Ashley knowing she would be able to reach Victor while she could not. Ashley searched for Victor in Paris where she brought him back from his suicidal depression and the two romantically reunited.
Ashley, Mary Jane and Victor's New HeartEdit
They return to Genoa City and Victor was arrested for the murder of Walter. While Victor was gone, Jack and Adam created and publish a fake diary of Victor, forging his confession to the murder. Victor was cleared of the crime and only Adam was arrested for his part in it as Jack profoundly covered his acts so he was not deemed responsible whatsoever. Adam was imprisoned while Victor pursued revenge against Jack by gaining controlling interest in Jabot and pitting the Abbott siblings against each other--even though doing so hurt Ashley as well. He later relinquished his shares of the company to Jill Abbott in exchange for her agreement to the exhuming of Marge Cotroke's body, whom Jill, at the time, believed to be her mother, Katherine Chancellor. Ashley decided to name her baby with Victor, Hope Newman, even though she miscarried.
Continuing his plans for revenge against Jack, Victor began to interact with a bandaged female figure for whom he had financed plastic surgery so she could infiltrate Jabot. The woman later introduced herself to the Abbott family as Mary Jane Benson and was hired in Public Relations at Jabot. Victor's and Mary Jane's business relationship became aggravated when Mary Jane started acting suspiciously and Victor planned to pay her to get away from Genoa City. On July 14, 2009, Victor remarried Ashley in a small ceremony at the Newman Ranch. On August 4, 2009, Victor's dog Zapato was suspected to have been posioned by Mary Jane who was making trouble for the Newman family. After examanation by the vet Zapato died, leaving Victor's wife Ashley even more upset. Nikki came by later that night during a thunderstorm and told Victor that she called off her wedding to Paul Williams because she was still in love with the one man she had loved her entire life: Victor Newman. Nikki assured Victor that she only wanted him to understand how she felt and had no intention of getting him back but despite his other marriages and children Nikki still thought of Victor as her husband, and she left town. When Victor confronted Patty Williams, she shot him, causing him to have heart failure. Victor was saved by a heart transplant from Colleen Carlton, who was pronounced brain-dead after accidentally falling into the lake while fleeing from Patty. Nikki returned when she heard of Victor's condition, and Victor declared his love for her. Ashley overheard, and decided to divorce Victor. Victor agreed to let Ashley and their children stay at the ranch, and on October 30, 2009, leaves for a transplant rehab program in Europe with Nikki.
Victor and Nikki returned to Genoa City after their time at the rehab center in Belgium. Victor found Adam and Nick in a fight at Newman Enterprises and informed them that he would retake control of the company and undo everything they had done. When Tucker McCall took over Chancellor Industries, Victor vowed that he would help Katherine in every way he could even if it meant working with his long time enemy Jack Abbott. Victor fired Adam, who got hired by Tucker. then went to Billy Abbott who published an article on Adam in which Victor stated, "my son is a sociopath" and other harsh criticisms. The article caused much anger toward Victor that exploded at the Genoa City Athletic Club where Adam confronted Victor. Victor knocked Adam to the floor in front of the Newmans and the Abbotts disowning Adam in the process. It was later revealed that the whole thing was a scheme to distract Tucker but the plan wasn't Victor's idea, as Adam thought, but was Nick's.
Gloria, Adam and The HuntEdit
Tucker put Jabot up for auction and Jack and Ashely put up an enormous amount of money to buy back their father's company. Adam had secretly made a key for Tucker's office and used it to look at the sealed bids. Adam sent the bids to Victor who at the last minute made the top offer and won control of Jabot. Victor went to Jabot and told both Jack and Ashley that they had a week to clear out their offices and made Gloria Fisher ambassadress at Jabot.
Adam was found dead after the Genoa City Police Department ball's explosion at the club and it was ruled a homicide. Both Victoria and Nick were arrested. In order to protect his children, Victor told the police that he murdered Adam for what he had done to Victor's family. The police didn't believe him and kept both him and Nick in custody. Victor was eventually released, but even though there was evidence that points to Adam killing a man named Richard Hightower to fake his death, Nick was charged with Adam's murder. Despite the fact that there was proof that Hightower was in Adam's grave, the District Attorney decided to charge Nick with Adam's murder. Victor went to Canada to look for Adam and befriended a barmaid named Meggie McClean. He noticed Adam's watch on a man named Charlie Shaw and attacked him. Shaw told Victor that he would take him to Adam, but knocked him out and stole his cellphone and wallet. Victor, with Meggie's help, threatened his life and Shaw took him on his boat, but turned on him by locking him in the boat and shooting it. Victor tried to use a radio to get help but was electicuted. Jack showed up and got him out.
Victor went to Brazil with Sharon Newman and found Adam alive and well. Victor brought Adam to justice where Adam still managed to not be convicted for Richard's murder. Nick, however, was finally cleared. Meggie showed up at the Newman Ranch asking for asylum from Shaw who she said had burned her bar in Canada to the ground. Meggie became Nikki's personal assistant and seemed to be genuine but soon began spiking recovering alcoholic Nikki's drinks with vodka. Meanwhile, his daughter Abby wanted her inheritance but was denied by her parents. Jack began to advise her behind the scenes so she could get her money and so he could take yet another jab at Victor.
Billy, Victoria's Arrest and MeggieEdit
Victor was not happy about Victoria being with Billy Abbott because of him being Jack's brother and because he often wrote articles on the Newmans. Victor and Victoria started fighting and Nikki convinced him to make peace with her. They stopped by her house and learned she was pregnant with Billy's child and they were getting married. Victor got Victoria arrested on her wedding thinking she would get taken away before she said I do but she was really arrested after.
He had the charges dropped but Victoria refused to forgive him. They got in a fight that caused Victoria to lose the baby. In November, Meggie drugged Victor. Victor and Meggie landed in Reno and signed a marriage certificate. The Reno officials assured Meggie that the paperwork would be filed that day making her and Victor husband and wife. On the Newman jet, Victor and Meggie were married. Back at the ranch, Victor drank a cocktail Meggie made for him.
He struggled to get up, a deep gutteral moan eminating from his throat. Meggie asked him if his chest hurt and told him it would be over very soon. Victor was in agony. Meggie said "What's the matter, tough guy - not feeling well? To call an ambulance or not call an ambulance . . . well, really why waste the money? And it is MY money, or it will be . . . if you would just hurry up and die!" Suddenly, Victor sprang to life and grabbed Meggie by the hair. "What's the rush?" he asked.
Meggie's Fall and A BreakupEdit
Victor told Meggie he wasn't dead yet, not even close. He told her he found the drugs she was going to use and switched them with fake ones. Victor told Meggie she was in a lot of trouble. Meggie broke free of his grip just as Ronan Malloy, Heather and Murphy came in. Meggie realized she was in deep. When Victor walked in on Nikki and Deacon Sharpe in bed together at Solidarity House, he became very upset. Victor had Deacon kicked out. Victoria arrived to overhear a staff member tell Deacon that he was kicked out of the rehab facility.
Meanwhile, Victor told Nikki all about Meggie's plan to get Nikki to fall off the wagon so Meggie could marry and kill him. Nikki asked if Meggie had hurt him. Victor said she didn't and that he was fine. Nikki didn't believe him because she knew she had hurt him. She apologized, and said she should've known better but everything was upside down since she lost her sobriety. She said her only constant thought through the whole thing had been loving him.
Victor told her she disgusted him and asked if she loved him when she slept with that slimeball. Nikki said it was the alcohol. Victor yelled at her to never come near him again because they were finished! Nikki told him not to say that but Victor yelled again that they were finished! Nikki said they were so close to getting everything back. Victor yelled they were never close and they were finished! Nikki asked him how he could say that. Victor yelled he would never fogive her!
Nikki, Abby and KyleEdit
Nikki Newman asked him how he could be so cold because she loved him. She asked what she would do without him. Victor yelled "I don't give a damn!" Nikki begged him but Victor said sternly that he would never lay hands on her again. Nikki yelled for him as he stormed out. The next day, Victor stopped by Abby's house and asked if it was Pericles hanging out in front of the house. Abby told her father that Tucker McCall bought the horse back for her because he knew how much the horse meant to her because he was a symbol of her father's love.
Victor said Abby traded that horse for money and said it was symbolic before walking out leaving Abby teary eyed. Victor and Jack Abbott conspired to invest in the Newman Fund as the NA Partnership along with some other friends of Jack's intending to pool their money and destabilize the fund then shorting the shares when Skye Lockhart Newman and Adam Newman would be forced to sell. In December 2010 on the patio at the coffeehouse, Victor ran into Diane Jenkins and Kyle Abbott. Victor chatted with Kyle about Christmas and Diane mentioned that Kyle had spent the holidays with his dad.
Victor noticed Kyle's hockey bag and invited the boy to move to the ranch to enjoy ice-skating, riding snowmobiles and enjoying the horses. Diane sent Kyle away to get her a coffee refill. Diane reproached Victor for enticing Kyle to move to the ranch. Victor told Diane that the invitation would remain open should she decide to accept it. After Sharon Newman left, Victor stopped by the jail looking for her. Adam peered under the table and flippantly informed Victor that Sharon wasn't present. Victor angrily warned Adam not to play games because he'd regret it.
Framing Adam for Skye's murderEdit
Victor double crossed Jack and crashed the Newman fund, costing Jack as much as it casued Adam and Skye. Adam and Skye got in a huge fight because he had signed over his half of the Newman fund to Skye, meaning she was left holding the bag. Skye called Victor and he offered to help her disappear and start over. She agreed and Victor went about framing Adam.
Adam shot back that he wasn't afraid of his father and rhetorically inquired what additional damage Victor could inflict. Adam spitefully remarked that Victor's plan to frame him for murder was ironic because Victor's victim, Walter Palin, was actually dead. Adam added that if he possessed none of his mother's goodness that would mean he was like his father and he would prove that Victor was framing him. Victor insincerely wished his son good luck. After Victor stepped out, Adam whispered, "Aloha, Victor." After Sharon Newman left Nicholas Newman's house, Victor stopped by and asked about her.
Nick explained that Sharon had stopped by earlier and said she was heading to the airport. Victor wondered aloud if the trip was connected to Adam, but Nick said he did not know. After Victor returned to the ranch house, he phoned an investigator and ordered him to monitor charges on Sharon Newman's credit card. Victor later learned that Sharon had made plane reservations and he instructed the investigator to let him know about Sharon's car rentals and hotel accommodations. After Diane visited and left, Victor phoned someone and told them to have everything ready because he was heading to Hawaii.
In Hawaii, Victor snooped around Skye's shack and noticed a brochure about touring volcanoes. After Sharon left the post office shop with a tour group, Victor arrived and found out about Sharon's visit. He found Sharon and Skye arguing on top of a volcano and witnessed as Skye fell into the volano and Sharon tried to help her. Victor then set fire to Skye's shack, destroyign any evidence of Skye's presence in Hawaii.
Adam was eventually exonerated, but Sharon was arrested for Skye's murder. Despite Adam's best efforts, Sharon was convicted and sentenced to thirty years in prison. Sharon skipped town and was presumed dead in a car accident, but she was eventually tracked down and brought back to Genoa City. Victor hired Avery Bailey Clark to represent Sharon, and Avery succeeded in exonerating Sharon and Skye's death was ruled as an accident.
Marriage to Sharon, Amnesia, and returnEdit
In 2012, Victor married Sharon Newman, but he ran away only a day after their wedding, likely after falling off of his horse, and contracting amnesia. Tucker McCall had Genevieve searching for him. Nikki was also searching for Victor. However, Sharon called off the search for her new husband, so that she can keep control of his multi-billion dollar company. She later starts an affair with Tucker. Belieiving Victor to be dead, Sharon decides to marry Tucker after the funeral. However, Victor reveals himself to be alive. He not only annulls their marriage, but he also throws Sharon in jail for what she did to his business.
Jack became addicted to pain killers, so Victor sought to use that to his advantage. He hired Stephanie Gayle, a prostitute, to seduce Jack. Stephanie ended up overdosing and died. Adam helped Jack hide the body and cover up his involvement.
Unfortunately, Stephanie was the daughter of Congressman Marcus Wheeler. Wheeler blackmailed Victor with the knowledge that he had hired Stephanie to seduce Jack, causing them to butt heads. Victor's constant threats unnerved Wheeler so he hired a hit man to kill Victor and blow up the Newman Ranch. As the hit man took aim at Victor, Adam pulled him out of the way and was shot instead. Victor and Jack teamed up and managed to get Wheeler implicated in the murder of Belinda Rogan, but Wheeler managed to escape the charges. Victor told Wheeler he would get justice for his family and Wheeler was arrested soon after when the hit man. implicated Wheeler as his boss.
Partnership with AdamEdit
Victor felt indebted to Adam for saving his life and decided to try and have a relationship wih his estranged son. Victor hired Adam at Newman and their new relationship began.
Adam offered to completely buy back Newman Enterprises, but wouldn't tell Victor who his mysterious investor was. Victor did some digging and discovered that Jack was Adam's mysterious investor. Victor was furious with Adam for teaming up with Jack and he and Adam couldn't get past the fact that Adam and Jack had become friends.
Adam and Jack supposedly plotted to steal Newman Enterprises from Victor, but Victor gained the upper hand when a letter from Katherine's will named him as the head of Chancellor Industries. Victor then merged Newman Enterprises and Chancellor Industries, creating Newman-Chancellor
Connor Newman and Adam's disappearanceEdit
Victor soon learned that Adam was the father of Chelsea Lawson's son Connor. Victor wanted to be a part of his grandson's life, but Adam and Chelsea were determined that Victor would not be a part of Connor's life. When Delia Abbott was killed in a hit and run accident, Victor was enlisted to help find the driver. To his dismay, he discovered that Adam was the driver but decided to blackmail him so he could have access to his grandson.
Eventually, Billy discovered that Adam was the driver and the two were involved in a car crash. Billy survived, but Adam was declared missing and presumed dead when the car exploded and it was believe he was still inside. Victor mourned his son's death and Nick and Victoria disowned him when they learned he knew Adam was the driver and didn't say anything to anyone.
Victor helped Chelsea recover Connor when Chloe Mitchell kidnapped him and took him to Paris. Chelsea began to trust Victor, but Jack warned her that she couldn't trust Victor. Chelsea later enlisted Victor's help to find out whether Adam was alive or dead.
Eventually, Victor's investigator found a body two towns over, whose dentral records were a match for Adam's. Victor Called Chelsea over to tell her the news. Chelsea refused to believe it, but eventually broke down on Victor's shoulder. Meanwhile, a mysterious man, possibly Adam, was seen paying a man off. The man told him that Victor can't know he was involved.
Ian Ward and Mariah CopelandEdit
When Nick and Sharon started getting close again, Victor was determined to prevent them from getting back together, so he paid a woman named Mariah, who looked identical to his deceased adoptive granddaughter Cassie Newman, to gaslight Sharon. Mariah eventually learned that Sharon had a secret and Victor ordered her to find out what Sharon was hiding. That plan went awry though when Sharon touched Mariah and was convinced that Cassie was alive. Victor decided to pay Mariah to disappear, fearing that Sharon would discover the truth if Mariah kept pushing her.
Mariah didn't listen and stayed in town, claiming to feel guilt over what she did to Sharon. Nick eventually encountered Mariah and learned Victor had hired her to gaslight Sharon. Nick was furious and disowned Victor as his father. Soon the other Newman family members heard what he had done. Nikki moved out of the ranch and Noah quit working at Newman, and severed ties with Victor. Victor got back in Abby's good graces when he had Mariah, who was trying to cause problems between Abby and Tyler Michaelson, arrested and shipped back to Portland.
Victor became enraged when Ian Ward started harassing Nikki. Victor threatened him several times to leave town, but Ian wouldn't listen, so Victor had his goons assault Ian. Victor knew Mariah was getting close to Sharon and when he saw her with Ian, he and Nick decided to work together. Victor was stunned when Nick's investigation lead to the revelation that Mariah was Cassie's twin sister, stolen by Ian and Helen Copeland.
Phyllis Returns and Sharon's secretEdit
Victor became determined to discover a secret Sharon was keeping from Nick., worried that it would hurt Nick. He teamed up with Mariah, who agreed to help him for money. Mariah found out that Phyllis knew about Sharon's secret, so Victor went about finding a way to wake Phyllis up. He discovered an experimental drug that would wake Phyllis up, but he needed her families permission.
Victor arranged for Daniel to be sent out of the Country on a art show. Daniel gave Summer power of attorney, so Victor tricked Summer into signing power of attorney over to him. With Summer's signature, Victor was able to convince the doctor to use the drug on Phyllis. Phyllis woke up, but seemed catatonic. Victor visited over the course of days, but nothing changed.
Mariah overheard Sharon talking in her sleep. Through a misunderstanding, Mariah assumed Sharon was referring to Faith. Mariah told Victor that Faith wasn't Nick's daughter. Though Victor laughed at the notion, he took Summer's hairbrush and DNA from Nick then headed to a lab in Switzerland. While in Switzerland, Victor learned that Phyllis had escaped and he ordered the doctor to find her. Victor had Mariah update him on the events that took place at Nick and Sharon's wedding.
The DNA test proved that Faith was Nick's, and Phyllis wasn't cooperating; so Victor was back to square one. When Mariah took Faith trick or treating , she told Victor to let Nick and Sharon be happy. Victor realized that Mariah had reconciled with Sharon and warned her that she was making a mistake siding with Sharon. Summer showed and asked Victor how he ended up with her hairbrush. Victor realized that he tested Summer's hair, which meant she was Nick's daughter and not Jack's.
Victor, Nick, and Jack found Phyllis and Sharon at the stairway where Phyllis fell. Sharon tearfully admitted she had changed the DNA test to say that Jack was Summer's father. Nick was furious and wanted nothing to do with Sharon, much to Victor's delight. Nick also planned to sue Sharon for custody of Faith.
Maureen RussellEdit
Victor heard Maureen Russell, call Nikki Sherry and questioned why she called Nikki Sherry. Maureen understood the situation and apologized for confusing her with someone else. Maureen officially met Victor at the Athletic Club and introduced herself and reminding him that they briefly met and she's good friends with Nikki, and she's also Stitch and Kelly's mother. Maureen told Victor that Nikki was at a meeting because he was trying to get a hold of her. Victor assured her that the quickest way to become his enemy is to mess with his family. Victor confronted Nikki about this and Nikki said she lied to her for an excuse.
Maureen trapped pregnant Victoria in the storage closet of Jabot after Vicki realized that Maureen killed her husband not Ben!! Maureen called Stitch having a heart attack and Stitch safely got her into the hospital. Stitch arrived at Vicki's only to find Billy and bratty Abby. Billy and Stitch rushed off to find Victoria and eventually did and birthed the baby together. Stitch told Victor he wasn't the one who killed his father, and Victor respected him because of his loyalty to protect his family. When Victor got in Maureen's room he yelled at her and Maureen claimed she has a little story for him too. Nikki and Victor walked out before Maureen could spill the secret of Nikki's alcoholism. Victor was delighted to see the new baby. Victor was very disappointed when the test results came in and turned out the father is Billy Abbott.
Corporate Espionage and Working with Joe ClarkEdit
Victor hired, Tobias, to be a lab technician and spy for Jabot to find out Ashley's new formula. Ashley was originally very impressed that he kept putting in extra hours. Ashley caught Tobias taking photos of papers. Ashley told her brother, Jack Abbott, she knew that new employee, Tobias, had been spying on the formula for Victor Newman. She assured him that the information he received was bogus. Jack warned Ashley that Victor's just going to make a counterattack with another brilliant move. He handed the formula to Victor, but it was discovered that it was just used to make tequila. Tobias offered to hand in his resignation, but Victor told him too keep spying for him at Jabot. Ashley eventually fired Tobias, but unbeknownst to her, Victor had wiretapped her office.
On Christmas Eve, Victor was angry to find Nick and Sharon getting along. They maintained they were getting along so Faith could have a good Christmas.
Victor also is working with Joe Clark to redevelop the land that Crimson Lights was on. Victor didn't tell any of his family that he was behind it and had Joe do all the dirty work. Kevin Fisher found out that Victor was behind it and told Dylan and Avery about it. Dylan publicly confronted Victor about it, and Nikki was furious with him. Victor tried to buy Dylan off, but Dylan refused to be bought. Later, Dylan was assaulted by two masked man, who stole money. Paul accused Victor of being behind it to try and intimidate Dylan. Victor later accused Joe of sending the thugs to beat up Dylan.
Victoria advised Victor to let go of Chancellor, so he didn't have to resort to dirty tactics to keep it from failing. Victor had all of Ashley's lab equipment seized, and obtained the formula. After talking with Stitch, Victoria threatened to cut Victor out of Katie's life if he insisted on using such low tactics. Jill tried to buy Chancellor from Victor, but he stubbornly refused to let it go. When Victor saw how much his actions were hurting Nikki, he decided to stop the redevelopment project. Victor called Jill and told her to get money ready by noon the next day because Chancellor would be up for sale to the highest bidder.
Joe Clark realized he's not getting Avery back any time soon and called Victor calling off the deal. Victor then told Nikki he ended the redevelopment plan for her which made her very happy.
Underground collapse & New Plan to destroy JackEdit
On Valentine's Day, Nikki and Victor were at the Underground along with much of the Y&R gang. Nikki was upset that Victor brought Phyllis as his date on Valentine's Day. Nikki was bickering with Victor when he called her out on being drunk! Nikki continued to have several drinks. The roof caved in on the whole group. Nikki and Phyllis sprung up first and Nikki was glad to see Victor. Victor found Jack out cold and saved his life by giving him CPR. Nikki and Phyllis were glad he was still alive. Victor immediately stated he saved Jack's life and Jack eventually said ""Adam". Victor shushed Phyllis and Jack from comforting each other and asked Jack about Adam. Jack said "Adam is..." Phyllis and Nikki made it out first while their was a second collapse on Jack and Victor. Nikki, Phyllis, Ashley, and Avery were very worried about them. Jack made it out alive. Nick drove Nikki home with Vicky with them. Nikki got home and blatantly started pouring herself some vodka and drinking, scaring her kids. Victor appeared in the house and drank Nikki's glass.
Victor and Jack were put in the same hospital due to lack of available space. Victor and Jack continued arguing. Victor kept stating he saved his life! Victor asked about Jack's love life with Kelly and Phyllis when Jack stated it's none of his business. Jack and Victor agreed to stay civil enemies and not to argue anymore. It is later revealed that Victor was deceiving Jack, and is working with Kelly Andrews as well as someone else, who meets in a confessional at the hospital chapel, and churches.
Victor has Kelly "confess" to poisoning Phyllis, and they make plans for her to leave the country. Victor is outraged when Kelly reveals she had to knock Phyllis over the head, but still decides to help her. Victor procured a fake photo of Kelly on the morgue and claims she is dead.
Victor's mysterious ally is revealed to be Marco Anacelli, who has a remarkable resemblance to Jack. Victor had found Marco in a prison in Peru. He got him out and had him frame Jack to make it look like he was committing corporate espionage. On Jack and Phyllis' wedding night, Victor had Jack kidnapped and Marco took his place. Victor handed Jack over to Kelly on St. Barts island while he and Marco began their plot.
"Jack" and Victor publicly made a truce, which made the Abbotts suspicious. "Jack" also agreed to merging Jabot and Newman together, giving Victoria a higher position of power within in the company. However, Victor would constantly have to try and keep Marco in line with threats about sending him back to his prison in Peru.
Victor's plan spiralled out of control when he found out that Kelly was dead and that Jack had escaped. Marco later tells him that Jack is dead, and Victor is furious that Marco orchestrated the events that led to Jack's death. on Father's Day, Victor was arrested for embezzlement, but was released. Marco phoned Victor and asked to meet in the park. Victor met with Marco and shot him without a word. Gabriel came out of the bushes and told Victor if he gave him Newman, he would keep quiet about what he saw.
Victor was eventually arrested after Gabriel broke their deal, and incarcerated. Victor was interrogated multiple times by Vicki, Nikki, Ashley, and Phyllis about his motivation for shooting Jack. Sharon agreed to take Faith to see Victor, and Victor thanked Sharon and told her he wouldn't forget her kindness. He bribed a guard to have cell phone privileges, and called Nikki. Neil intercepted the call and told Victor to stay away from Nikki. Victor was later released from jail, learned from Marisa Sierras that he had actually shot Jack and not Marco.
The Paragon Project & Adam's returnEdit
Victor went to the hospital where he and Jack and it out. Jack was determined that now he would have the upper hand over Victor because of what Victor put him through. Victor smugly reminded Jack of the paragon project that could get Jack arrested. This got Jack to keep quiet about Marco, and Victor returned the company as CEO. He told Gabriel that he reminded him of his son Adam. Gabriel stepped down as CEO and Victor reclaimed control of his company. He decided to keep Abby on as his second in command due to the good work she was doing.
Victor, Jack, Phyllis, and Marisa worked together to get Marco out of Genoa City. Victor had Marco returned to the Pervian Prison and also had one of his ears removed, so they could tell Marco apart from Jack if he ever came back. With the dyer officially over, Victor announced his intentions to keep Abby as well as Chelsea's clothing line. Gabe and Chelsea returned from Paris. Both Newman and Abbott bid on Chelsea's clothing line, and Newman won the bid. Victor then told Gabriel he intended to cut him out of Connor's life.
Victor and Jack made a deal to work together to find out who was behind the paragon project. When Victor discovered a virus in Newman's systems, he enlisted Kevin's help to block the virus from infiltrating the system. Chelsea's clothing line skyrocketed in sales, and when Jabot bought a Newman subsidiary that was put up for sale without Victor's knowledge; he began to suspect the Abbott's really were behind the paragon project.
Victor eventually learns that Ian Ward and Adam, who was really alive and posing as Gabriel Bingham, were the masterminds behind the paragon project. Victor confronted Adam and punched him. He then stood back and watched as Billy viscously beat Adam until Jack showed up and stopped him. Victor confronted Adam and asked him why he sought to hurt him. Adam told Victor that he hated him and wanted to make him pay. Adam was arrested and Victor bailed Adam out of jail on the condition that he stop Paragon. Adam initially agreed to the deal, but then confessed that he didn't know how to stop Paragon. Victor then revealed to Adam that he hoped to heal their broken relationship and offered to help Adam leave town, but Adam refused.
At Adam's trial, Victor and Chelsea both vouched for him, but Adam was still sentenced to ten years in prison. As Adam was being escorted to a prison transport, he was struck by a car, but survived after receiving emergency surgery. A party was held at Newman Towers at a newly opened restaurant. A fire broke out, and Victor helped get everyone to safety. While searching for Ashley and Abby. Victor and Billy came across Adam unconscious in the stairwell. Adam said that a man in a devil costume had knocked him out. Victor helped Adam get to the top of the tower where Victor was dismayed to find out Abby had chosen to stay behind.
While Victor was focused on Adam, Abby slipped away to find her mom and Stitch. Adam chose to stay behind to confronts the "devil". Victor was dismayed to learn Joe Clark had taken Abby's place and returned to Newman Tower, determined to save her and Adam. Adam helped Abby and Ashley get Stitch out, and Victor managed to get Adam a few days to recuperate before being taken to prison. At the hospital, the Newman's learned that Christian Newman, Nick and Sage's newborn son, had passed away. The Newman's held a memorial in Christian's honour. Victor observed Adam's reaction to Christian's death and surmised that Adam was Christian's biological father, and had switched the paternity test. Adam laughed off the accusation, but later allowed Victor to blackmail him into working at Newman.
Victor planned to have judge Elise Moxley acquit Adam, holding the fact that they had an affair years ago, over her head. Victor changed his mind though when he started to suspect Adam was lying about Ian Ward being the one, who started the fire. Adam had claimed Ian had been killed while they fought, but his body had not been recovered. Victor turned on Adam and accused him of lying. After Adam had been sent to prison, Chelsea begged Victor to help Adam, but Victor told her to forget about Adam and move on. Victor later decided to give Adam the benefit of the doubt, and successfully got Adam acquitted in a retrial.
Rucuping his losses & deal with the Santori'sEdit
Jack offered Victor living space at Jabot until he could get the Newman offices up and around. Victor initially refused, but later realized he could keep a closer eye on the Abbott's by working in the same area as them. Luca Santori offered to help Victor restore Newman if the Santori's could own a piece of Newman, and Victor agreed to the proposition.
Paragon resurfaced, and attacked Jabot. Victor and Phyllis tracked Ian down, who claimed he wasn't behind the attack. Ian was arrested and it was revealed that Billy and Phyllis has revived Paragon in an effort to make Victor pay. Adam suggested suing the Abbott's for damages and Victor liked the idea. To protect Billy from facing criminal charges, the Abbott's paid off Victor, and Adam suggested Victor pay off the Santori's leave Newman, but both Luca and his father refused to be bought out of Newman.

Dallas officer who shot mentally ill man is fired
A neighbor's surveillance video shows the officer shoot the knife-wielding man, who did not move toward police, despite the officer's report
By Nomaan Merchant
Associated Press
DALLAS — A Dallas police officer who shot a mentally ill man in a disputed incident caught on tape has been fired and charged with felony aggravated assault, police said Thursday.
Police Chief David Brown apologized for the actions of the officer, who had been on administrative leave following the Oct. 14 shooting.
"Officers are not above the law," Brown said at a news conference. "We as a police department are not going to look the other way."
Officer Cardan Spencer wrote in a police report that he shot Bobby Gerald Bennett last week after the 52-year-old man lunged at him and another officer with a knife. But video captured by a neighbor's surveillance camera shows Bennett didn't appear to move toward the officers before he was shot and crumpled to the ground.
Brown did not immediately address whether Spencer was in custody or whether he has an attorney.
Bennett remains hospitalized in stable condition. He initially was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a public servant, but Brown announced last week that the charge would be dropped.
Bennett's mother, Joyce Jackson, said in an interview last week that her son has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and that he was off his medication at the time of the shooting. Jackson said she was arguing with Bennett when she called police. She was told that officers who have been trained in dealing with the mentally ill would arrive to assist her.
The officers arrived outside her southeast Dallas home to find Bennett sitting on a chair in the street holding a knife. At that point, the accounts of the incident differ.
The surveillance video doesn't include audio, and Spencer wrote in his report that Bennett yelled at them, "You all are gonna need more officers than this!" But it doesn't show that the incident "escalated, which led an officer to fire his weapon upon the individual," as police spokesman Warren Mitchell said in a statement a few hours after the shooting.
Jackson's attorney, George Milner, said Thursday that Brown was left with no option but to fire Cardan based on the video. Milner also questioned whether there was a "deficiency in training" that prompted the shooting and said there may have been negligence on the part of the police department.
"What happened 10 days ago should never have happened in the first place," he said.

Pulled out the Ben Taylor CD I fell in love with this summer and slipped in Dusty Pas'cal. I wasn't sure what to expect. I mean when you are my height, tall people are always a little larger than life. And Dusty is tall like a pine tree.
This all started one night as I was rushing into the P&C. Dusty Pas'cal's picture was on the glass door I pushed. It was a pretty cool picture too. It said something about a CD release party on Oct. 7 at Joe's Pasta Garage.
The next morning, I saw Dusty at the Byrne Dairy and I said, "You got a CD."
Well, now here I was not knowing what to expect, I mean this is a local business guy, who you see around town carrying babies on his back. He also can draw cartoons. I knew he played and sang, as Ed Putnam sent an article in to the Press once about being pleasant surprised and entertained by Dusty performing at the Creekside coffeehouse. Still, I wasn't sure.
But that's all behind me now.
The first thing that struck me was the production quality of this recording. High.
The next was his voice. There was this emotion in it, a catch. A quality, I guess, I might term as able to phrase. I mean, I'm coming from nowhere, but this voice had been around the block a few times, like when you learn to ride a bicycle, only a few weeks later. He knew how to use it and it was easy, comfortable, as if he sang rather than spoke in his everyday.
It was dark out, and I was in a car with a friend driving out into the country.
I said, "Listen to this arrangement."
It at first sounded simple, yet it really wasn't -- great guitar picking, strumming, electric licks and beautiful piano music.

"The job of a sicario is to do away with the victim immediately, either with a bullet, a knife or a blow." As he speaks, the hooded subject of El Sicario—Room 164 writes in a notebook, a numbered list of the weapons he names. "Quick and lean," he continues, "So that the victim feels nothing more." In answer to his own question, "How?", he begins to draw a childlike outline of a car and to explain the difference between a professional sicario and an imitation sicario. Where the pretender fires dozens of bullets at a car—here he stabs at the page, bullet-dots all over the car he's drawn—the real thing takes aim, needing only one shot to get the job done.

Candy Source: Aji Ichiban
Aji Ichiban is a chain of stores that sells dried and cured fruits as well as candy by the pound.
I went to the location in Chinatown in New York City while I was there. The store was kind of small and the woman behind the counter barked at me when I took some photos. This one was taken from the street. I actually think they're doing their customers a disservice when they can't take photos, because that's the only reason I know what some of the candy is. It's marked in the bins, but not on the wrappers.
They have a large selection of bins that contains individually wrapped candies or salted fruits or nuts and rice snacks. There are even samples of the fruits by the bins, but I made the mistake of taking what I thought was dried ginger and it turned out to be a salted plum. Quite a shock and made me parched instantly.
It's not a huge store, but then again, they don't have large tubs of everything. A third of the display space is for snacks and dried fruit, the rest is candy. Most of the candy is a mix & match by the pound, but some of it you could buy prepacked.
I liked just about everything in this mix. I chose carefully, so this is a good sign about the way that the packages are marked. Some have English on them, most are just pictures and sometimes the bin they were in at the store had some clues about the contents. Items came from all over Asia, some marked from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Japan.
I got some super fizzy sours, something called Zour Bomb, which was a cross between a cola flavored hard candy and a Zotz. However, partway through it got a minty flavor to it that kind of turned me off. The outside was dusty looking and super sour, then a hard candy and then the inside had another reservoir of sour. It also came in Lemon which was excellent.
Another was a little orange packet called Sour + from Lot100. It had little orange faces on it making sour impressions. It was a gummi, soft and about the size of a gumdrop with a sugar sand on it. Whoo, it was sour to start, then the soft gummi had a nice orange flavor to it. I would definitely buy these again. I wonder if they come in pineapple. That'd be cool.
Lot100 also had a nice Cola hard candy. It looked a little odd in that it was a plain red hard candy. It tasted like cola but had a slight hint of cinnamon.
Not everything from Lot100 was a hit - I had a rather promising Mango gummi that just didn't quite hit the right balance. The texture was fantastic, plump and moist with a nice tart note but the mango "flavor" was less "pine meets melon" and more "burnt rubber." Too bad.
Kasugai had a good assortment of fruit gummis, which I've reviewed before. I picked up Litchi and Muscat this time. They're called super juicy on the label and they are plenty soft, but the litchi was a little flavorless and almost like a Turkish Delight. Muscat smelled wonderful and had a bit more complex flavor, something like white grape and orange blossom.
There was also a line of Milk candies that had calcium in them that came in interesting flavors like chocolate, vanilla and also red bean. They had an odd, firm, fluffed latexy quality to them, kind of like Hi-CHEW. I have no idea how much calcium is actually in it, but they were super soft and very satisfying. The vanilla was a little bland and the chocolate was kind of like a bouncy Tootsie roll, but I really liked the red bean. I mean, I really liked it. I'm sorry they're gone now.
I picked up a few tea flavored candies, one from Thailand called Didi Honey Lemon Tea Candy was particularly nice. Only slightly tart, there was a nice play between tea and honey in there. The other brand was Cister from Malaysia wasn't as pleasant looking (brown) but had a much stronger tea flavor and some mint thrown in (which made it taste more like a Ricola drop).
Another assortment were called S'Creams and were just hard candies with a milky swirl to them, kind of like Lifesaver's Creamsavers. They were pleasant enough, with a Werther's-like crunch if you bit them but a good tangy hit too to keep them interesting and satisfying. I picked up Orange, Strawberry and Melon.
There were a few flavors of these, I picked up Pudding Marshmallow, Grape Marshmallow, Mango Marshmallow and then two that have no English text on them - one has purple on its wrapper and the other has pink.
Mango Marshmallow - shown above - sucked royally. I had two of them, I at that bite of one and I gave the other to Amy, who promptly spit it out in my trash can. Why is it bad? It just is ... don't make me think about it.
Pudding Marshmallow - it looks suspiciously like Mango, but thankfully is quite nice. It's a marshmallow with a little lump of creamy, dulce de leche tasting filling in the middle. Not quite fudge, not quite creme, but pleasant and a little artificially vanilla tasting but with a tasty hit of salt.
Chocolate Marshmallow - there was no indication what this was, just a pink wrapper. The chocolate was a cross between frosting and a Tootsie roll. Not as good as the pudding one, but I liked it.
Grape Marshmallow - hmm, it was okay, but the grape filling was like cheap jelly and it just didn't appeal much to me.
Basically, Aji Ichiban is as much of an adventure as you want it to be. You can grab a pound of simple mixed candies that you know and love or you can push the boundaries of your taste experiences and just shovel them into your bag blindly and see what happens.
I think the candy is horribly expensive for pure sugar stuff - $10 a pound is way up there even for the fancy fruit candies from Italy that I see at Zabars or something. But the variety is pretty special and with no minimums and the ability to mix and match is a huge plus. You can also order online, but there's a half-pound minimum with most candies and of course the selection is limited. They have stores in several large cities across the edges of the United States, but they don't have the addresses on their site.

Owyhee Old Faithful
It's marshmallow day. Or maybe "Original Creme Center" day, since the Old Faithful doesn't even say it has marshmallow in it. I bought this bar on the same day as the other limited edition Hershey items, so I figured I should review them at the same time. I got them at a store called Duck Soup, which focuses on retro items, like coffee mugs that look like paper cups and old pinball machines. But they also had a very nice selection of classic candy bars. What was even better was that they were only $.99 each ... that Idaho Spud I bought recently was $1.55!
This long lump has a latexy, ultrasmooth creme (ala marshmallow) center cloaked in whole peanuts and milk chocolate.
The center was not at all what I expected. I expected something like a fondant or fudge, like the Bun. But instead it's a rather strange viscous filling that doesn't flow completely, but is super smooth. Not foamy enough for me to consider it marshmallow, but the ingredients include egg whites, so maybe it is.
In fact, I really loved the filling, with it's slightly bouncy texture (yes, rather similar to the detested Idaho Spud) what I had particular trouble with was the peanuts in the cluster. There were bad peanuts. Once you have one bad peanut, it makes you skittish. And there were more than a few peanuts that were darker than normal and tasted like burnt plastic.
I don't know if this was a bad bar, but it was bad enough that I was so fearful of another bad nut that I didn't even want to finish it. So, I took the last third of the bar apart, just eating the marshmallow. Which I really liked on its own. However, that does not redeem this bar. I can't not eat a major portion of it.
I'm sorry, I just can't get past something called Old Faithful would have such bad quality control. It broke its promise of peanuts that I could eat. The milk chocolate was passable and it made me wonder why they didn't use this coating for the Idaho Spud instead of the artery clogging mess o' trans fats they had on there.
Note: there are no hydrogenated oils in this bar.
Limited Edition Marshmallows
Though there's little reason for me to be buying candy with the huge stockpile I have from the All Candy Expo, I couldn't help but stop at the 7-11 on Friday on my way home from work. That's when I spotted these two marshmallow limited edition items: Marshmallow Take 5 and Marshmallow Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
In the Marshmallow Take 5, the marshmallow replaces the caramel that's normally found in there. Hershey's has been mucking around with the Take 5 in these limited editions for a while, but none of the newer versions have been very satisfying in my opinion and this one is no different.
The bar smells wonderfully sweet and peanutty, but upon biting into it, it becomes freakishly fake tasting with a strong vanillin component. The peanut butter holds its own and the salty pretzel gives a welcome crunchy component but it still can't drown out the sickly sweet marshmallow.
The thing I noticed about both of these bars is that the marshmallow isn't fluffy like I'm used to with the Campfire kind. It's rather latexy but very smooth.
(See other Take 5 reviews: Take 5, Take 5 White Chocolate, Take 5 Cookie & Take 5 Peanut Butter.)
The Reese's Peanut Butter Cup with Marshmallow was similar to the Take 5 in that it smelled and looked normal until you bit into it. Then there was a bit of flowing and slick marshmallow at the bottom of the cup, similar to the new Reese's Caramel cup.
I found eating the first cup that I didn't really like how overwhelming the marshmallow was to the texture of the crumbly peanut butter center. So for the second one I turned it over, so that the peanut butter layer hit my tongue first. Much better, but still, the sweetness of the marshmallow gave me a sore throat and didn't really add anything to the experience.
I'm wondering, however, what a candy cup with caramel at the bottom and then flowing marshmallow (like a See's Scotchmallow) might go over. Joanna at SugarSavvy.net also reviewed them yesterday.
(See other Reese's reviews: Reese's full line, Easter Eggs, Snack Barz, Nutrageous, Reese's Sticks, Fast Break, Reese's Cookies, White Chocolate Reese's & Reese's Bars.)
In the mean time, I hope Hershey's has gotten the impulse to add marshmallows to everything out of their system.

Idaho Spud
"It's the candy bar that makes Idaho famous," whispers the barely visible black print on brown at the bottom of the wrapper. If you love those memory foam mattresses, you'll love the Idaho Spud.
Well, maybe it's not quite like that, the Idaho Spud has been around since 1918 ... so maybe tempurpedic was inspired by the candy bar!
So really, what is it? It's a dense, chocolate-flavored marshmallow covered in fake chocolate and then dusted with coconut. Of course it all looks like a potato.
First, I have to say that I didn't eat the whole bar ... because there are hydrogenated oils in there. Not just a trace like most candies, I'm talking 1.5 grams.
The center of the bar is rather odd, like a cross between a custardy jelly and marshmallow. The chocolately coating doesn't seem to stick well to this firm foam, so when you bite into it, it kind of flakes off. The dominant flavor is coconut, which I always like.
The fake chocolate isn't very pleasant - kind of greasy and crumbly. The whole bar has a rather maple flavor to it, which might be the coconut. The firm marshmallow center is actually really interesting and I enjoyed the firm texture and density of it with the light tough of chocolate. But the combo of high trans fats and the mockolate just turned me off. For the last third of the bar I peeled off the chocolate coating and just ate the center. I'm a big potato fan, so I'm not going to let this dissuade me from my actual favorite Idaho export, but I don't think I'd ever give one of these to someone as a treat when I returned from a vacation in Idaho.

So Easter is over and your supply of Peeps are gone and there's no hope of more until Halloween. Where do you turn?
I thought Marpoles, which are long twists of pastel colored marshmallow, might be a good subsitute.
The twists are soft and flexible and covered in starch, instead of colored sugar. They're also lightly flavored. I think it's strawberry, but it's hard to be sure. They smell kind of like cotton candy.
It was soft without being too foamy. Most of all, I had a good time playing with them: tying them in knots, rolling them up into discs and braiding them together. I even put one in the microwave, which made it puff up really big and become sun-surface hot on the inside. I didn't really taste any different but it made the microwave smell like strawberry Pop-Tarts.
These aren't really a fair replacement for Peeps, but they're passably tasty. I can't really see myself eating these as a treat, but they might be fun for decorating other sweet edibles.
There might be some creative applications like decorating cupcake trees or creating summer dessert kebabs. You could probably cut them smaller and dip them in chocolate or use them for chocolate fountains. They're a nice treat for kids, as they're only 40 calories each but look really big, if I were doing a kids party, they might be a nice favor. If you're decorating your dessert table you could use these as napkin rings and tie them around the napkin and fork. At 10 cents each, there are a lot of possibilities.

GooGoo Cluster
It's so weird how candy seems to appear sometimes. It might have been there all along, but it's invisible to me unless I know what I'm looking for. For a long time I wasn't even interested in GooGoo Clusters. Mostly because of the marshmallow element. It's odd that I say that I don't like marshmallows much, but then I look at the items I've reviewed and see the tally that I've posted about marshmallow candies 16 times before but only 9 posts about licorice or 10 about malt which are actually a favorites of mine. But in my defense I most recently tried the GooGoo Supreme because it included one of my favorite nuts, the Pecan.
As disappointing as that bar was, it did get me curious about the GooGoo Cluster. But where to find one? I thought about ordering them online, but it's kind of a hassle and candy is all about easy, isn't it? Then I was in the 99 Cent Only Store looking for some cheap storage bins for all my candy and I breezed through the candy aisle and saw them!
The GooGoo Cluster is a flat marshmallow center with a glaze of caramel which is then covered in a mix of milk chocolate studded with peanuts.
There are a lot of nuts, and they're like those Spanish peanuts in that many still have their skins. It's an interesting combination of textures and flavors. The goo is soft and though not quite flowing, it's not foamy either. The caramel provides a good bit of chew to the whole thing and then there's the chocolate and coconut. Yes, there's coconut in here - which gives the peanuts much more of a nutty pop and makes everything taste creamier.
I was VERY suprised by this bar. First, I think it helps that it was obviously fresh. I'm often hesitant to review bargain store candy, but these are clearly not leftovers or closeouts. Second, it's a great combination of flavors in the proper proportions. (As long as you like peanuts). It wasn't too sweet and it wasn't too gooey (if you can believe that a bar named GooGoo isn't too gooey).
I just hope they keep selling them at the 99 Cent Only Store ... or maybe I hope they don't!

GooGoo Supreme
I've never had a GooGoo Cluster, but I figured if I'm going to start, I'd better start at the top. I found these GooGoo Supreme at Economy Candy in NYC, which had just about everything ... except the regular GooGoo Cluster of course.
The GooGoo Supreme is made of marshmallow, caramel and pecans, all covered in milk chocolate. It's a bit smaller bar than its bigger brother, the GooGoo Cluster, I'm guessing because of the inclusion of a premium ingredient like pecans. I prefer when companies just downsize the entire bar so that the proportions can be maintained, instead of just skimping on an element like the nuts.
I was rather excited about this combination as pecans are one of my favorite nuts and caramel and milk chocolate sound like great elements ... I wasn't keen on the marshmallow idea, but something has to be the goo.
It's not really gooey at all. It's more like a turtle with a soft nougaty center. The milk chocolate is very sweet and has a slight waxy quality to it, but I'm wondering if my bars weren't the freshest. The first one I opened (pictured) was a little chalky. The second one (the one reviewed) was quite a bit better in texture. The pecans are nice and super-abundant and the caramel gives it a soft chew. However, the whole thing descends into a sugary graininess towards the end that is just too sweet for me.
I don't know if the bar was not fresh enough, so if I see another, I might give it another go around. I'm also still curious about the GooGoo Cluster, as I'm a fan of peanuts and caramel together.
Some history: the GooGoo Cluster boasts being the first combination candy bar (there were plenty of chocolate bars before that, but no one had thought of making combinations of ingredients and individually wrapping them like chocolate bars).

Name that Candy!
I'm a little tired from my trip and thought I'd let you do the work today!
I took this photo a couple of weeks ago of a candy I'd never bought before. When I took it out of the wrapper I found it, um, mystifying. It looks like a mummy, don't you think?
It was actually pretty tasty though! I gave it a 6 out of 10.
Anyone know what this candy is? It's about four inches high ... submit a comment if you'd like to guess. I'll reveal the answer on Easter Sunday!
Yes, it is a marshmallow rabbit!
Made by Necco, the package boasts real chocolate and it was actually pretty good. The marshmallow was soft and fluffy without being too sweet. I got it for 25 cents, so keep your eye out for after-Easter sales if this is your sort of thing. The look of the candy suffers from the fact that marshmallow isn't the best for creating detail, but hey, it's for eatin' not staring at.

The Budget Office is responsible for preparing the town's budget, under the oversight of the town manager and in collaboration with the various departments and divisions.
Town Budget
The budget is a blueprint for building a sound financial framework for town operations. It ensures the town's resources are allocated toward the priorities identified by the Board of Commissioners. Specifically, the budget is a financial plan consisting of an estimate of proposed expenditures, the proposed means of financing and the goals and objectives of expenditures for the fiscal year (July 1-June 30).
The fiscal year 2014-15 budget was the 14th to receive the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the Government Finance Officers Association, the highest national award in governmental budgeting.
Balanced Scorecard
Hillsborough uses the balanced scorecard, a system of measures that helps the town implement its objectives. Each department has a scorecard with specific initiatives, targeted outcomes for the intiatives and ways to measure performance. The system is more fully explained in an article written by William C. Rivenbark, a UNC School of Government faculty member, and Eric J. Peterson, Hillsborough's town manager.
Hillsborough's Fiscal Year 2012 Balanced Scorecard Report earned a Gold Certificate of Achievement in Performance Reporting from the Association of Government Accountants. This marks the fourth year Hillsborough has received a Service Efforts and Accomplishments award from the association.

It is said that there will be a surprising development in Parliament tomorrow and there will be an amendment regarding specially authorized courts -- which deal with crimes against the constitutional order, organized crime, terror and drug trafficking -- in the third judicial reform package.
The other day, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan presided over a three-and-a-half-hour-long meeting on this issue. This is a weird situation which makes one ask "What is happening?" The government had clearly said that there will be nothing about specially authorized courts in the third and fourth judicial reform packages. We have not forgotten the statements of government officials Bülent Arınç and Hüseyin Çelik to this effect.
The Justice and Development Party (AK Party) could certainly make an amendment about the courts in Parliament by looking at some of the courts' shortcomings, flaws and wrong practices. The government could even address the injustices caused by articles of an anti-terrorism law on the definition of membership in terror organizations. The amendments that will ensure judicial unity are more important and urgent than others.
What we would like to highlight now is something different. The circles who want Turkey to transform from a military tutelage regime into a democracy have some just concerns. We are talking about a part of the public who voted for the election of the president by a popular vote, who said yes to democratization and expansion of freedoms by 58 percent in a referendum on Sept. 12, 2010. These people have some concerns today; concerns that will shake them, disappoint them and give moral superiority to supporters of the Ergenekon gang and prompt them to think arrogantly and say, "We still have the power."
Just consider the atmosphere in the country when there are mass releases of suspects in ongoing trials into Ergenekon, Sledgehammer and anti-government propaganda websites. Just let me state that I don't mean to say that the jailed suspects of these trials should stay in prison for years. I even support curtailment of detention periods with a speedy legal amendment. It neither complies with conscience nor justice for those who are not convicted of a crime to stay in prison longer that they would stay when they are convicted. But this should be done without watering down the various coup cases, spying cases and blackmail cases. There are concerns that ongoing trial processes will be damaged with an amendment to the specially authorized courts and it will be a kiss of life for the pro-junta group in the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) ahead of the upcoming Supreme Military Council (YAŞ).
It is uncertain if specially authorized courts will be abolished or if there will be some changes to their authorities. Our only consolation is what journalist Ali Bayramoğlu, who acts like the spokesperson of the circles who want this amendment very much, wrote yesterday. Bayramoğlu said: "Let's note this for those who are eager about the issue. Claims suggesting that the fight against Ergenekon and gangs will be weakened and we will return to square one in ongoing cases are mistaken. An amendment about specially authorized courts will not affect ongoing trials and these trials will not drop due to such an amendment. There will no releases." Bayramoğlu must know something to speak so confidently. We hope this to be the case.
There should not be courts that remind us of the former State Security Courts or Independence Courts -- tribunals that prosecuted thousands of people on charges of treason in the early years of the Turkish Republic or defiant judges and prosecutors who overstepped their authorities and made shows of power. Yet, there are special courts in Western countries as well. This is the first time in Turkey that coup trials are held. The state is, for the first time, asking for an accounting from illegal structures within the state. Nobody can belittle the contribution of the specially authorized courts to this effect and to Turkey's democratization. If Erdoğan thinks these courts have begun to be disturbing today, the solution should be sought in the principle of the individuality of the crime. In addition, when the structure of the specially authorized courts is changed, this should not turn into an elimination of some judicial members who perform their profession perfectly. The judiciary members should not be discouraged or made to feel alone.
If the AK Party's stance which encourages confrontation with coups and gangs, hitherto appreciated, is damaged, it will not only be the government who will lose but also the entire country. The joy of the Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) over the prospect of the abolishment of the specially authorized courts confuses minds.

For 100 years the Rodgers family has been sportfishing in British Columbia.
It began in 1912 when Doug's Grandfather, (Joseph) first towed a string of six rowboats from Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver out to Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver, where he began Rodgers Boat rentals. Joseph had bought 2000 feet of prime waterfront which eventually housed a hotel and a large dance hall. They built all of their own row boats and had the first put - puts on the BC coast.
During the 30's and 40's, Doug's Dad, Howard, rented and chartered boats to sports fisherman looking to land the big one! As well, Howard ran the first water taxi service with his famous boat the Commadore. He serviced places like Britannia Mines, Woodfibre, Port Mellon and Squamish. Twenty nine years ago, Doug started his own charter business in Campbell River. What began as Shoreline Charters with one Boston Whaler and one guide (Doug) grew into Anchor Inn Charters with 17 boats and guides.
