Check your egos at the door...
by Dan Mitchell
posted Feb 25 2011 11:16AM
I came up with a list today featuring my top 5 bands with more than one lead vocalist. It's not necessarily a list based on historical contributions to music and pop culture as much as it is a list devoted to bands who used multiple vocalists to their advantage. And the winners are: Cream-Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton Allman Brothers-Dickey Betts and Gregg Allman Fleetwood Mac-Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie as of 1975 and prior to that Bob Welch, Peter Green and to a lesser known extent Danny Kirwin and Jeremy Spencer. Beatles-John, Paul, George and Ringo...you know, The Beatles And number one on my list...The Eagles. Glenn Frey and Don Henley get most the credit but Randy Meisner, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmidt have all sung lead on hit records. The deciding factor for me when it comes to placing The Eagles ahead of the other competition on this list...The varied styles of the singers. Vocally, they have been a very versatile American Band. So there you go...that's The List!

Please Enter Your Comments Below
Others to consider: 1. The Who 2. Kiss 3. Chicago 4. Pink Floyd 5. Traveling Wilburys and one extra,"That Little O'l Band From Texas" one of my favorites, ZZ Top.
I know you have Queen on the 3:00 3-peet but they should also be on your "List". Freddie ruled the roost but Brian and Roger contributed plenty. Just my 2 cents.
Sara Farina
Dan, I think you nailed it with the Eagles... they happen to be my favorite band. When I was growing up, I never realized that all these songs that I loved were by the same group, because of the shifting lead singers. Love them!
Awesome list. But what about Crosby Stills Nash and Young or even without young?

Jamie Foxx - Closer
Artist: Jamie Foxx
Producer: Big D
Album: Man's Intuition
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 30 votes )
Oscar Award-winning jack of all trades Jamie Foxx has let music permeate his entire career. From his remixing of nursery rhymes on his '93 stand-up special, Straight from the Foxxhole, to Unpredictable, the Grammy-nominated album that cemented the Texan as a certified superstar, Foxx has always wanted to be Closer to his audiences. Following in the footsteps of his recently-featured first single Just Like Me, which debuted at DJBooth roughly two weeks ago, he does just that. Accompanied by background vocals from friend and fellow singer Tank, Foxx oozes charisma all over this smooth, baby-makin' cut produced by Big D. Out in stores on December 16, Man's Intuition is shaping up to be another chart-topper for the man with the velvety vocals.

US FDA approves 'Star Wars' robotic arm for amputees
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a robotic arm for amputees that is named for the "Star Wars" character Luke Skywalker and can perform multiple, simultaneous movements, a huge advance over the metal hook currently in use.
The FDA said on Friday it allowed the sale of the DEKA Arm System after reviewing data, including a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs study in which 90 percent of people who used the device were able to perform complex tasks. These included using keys and locks, feeding themselves, using zippers and brushing and combing hair.

With Windows Server 2003 going end of support, it's important for you to know where to go from a licensing and product stand point. Windows Server 2012 was designed with the advent of cloud strategy in mind. Servers need to run multiple applications at once, which is why some of the editions that were available have been eliminated from the line in favor of smarter solutions that cover more ground especially for heavily virtualized environments. Below are some basic things to note, that are essential to answer some questions you may have through your migration.

The scope and complexity of IT operations grows more challenging every year. Never before has IT been required to maintain service levels for such a wide range of device types while sustaining a growing portfolio of applications. There comes a point where IT leaderships considers re-setting the way it offers service and support to its end users when changes are coming faster than IT can adopt.

Minister's Moment: The Burden of Judging
The Burden of Judging
Matthew 7:1-5
Luke 6:37-38
I got into soccer coaching by accident. Our school's athletic director needed someone to coach boys' intramural soccer. I was a male who had no after school responsibilities. It was a marriage of convenience, but I found I loved coaching. By the time I "retired" due to lack of time, I had coached boys and girls, young children through high school players. Coaching was, for me, a natural complement to my teaching.

Definition: The term used to describe REALLY REALLY dark black people. I'm talking navy blue here. They are fresh from the Mayflower boat from africa. We know, we know the mayflower didnt even carry black slaves like the Aurore or whatever but it still just sounds so funny to point at a really dark brother and say - MAYFLOWER FRESH RIGHT THERE.
Example: "Yo that Jay-Z is serious mayflower fresh" "Like ikr man" "You know who's mayflower fresh?" "Who?" "Your mom" "-_-" "jk, Denzel Washington" "LOL" "Kirsten Stewart wouldn't be mayflower fresh if she dyed her hair with cool-aid and ate fried chicken for the rest of her life!"

A Home Equity Line of Credit—Think Outside the Home First, a quick explanation: A HELOC, as it's been nicknamed, is a line of revolving credit that uses the available equity in your home. You've earned that equity, thanks to hard work and time—don't forget you can use it, if necessary. And here's a good piece of news—interest rates on a home equity credit line are typically lower than a standard credit card. In other words, it's another useful tool to eliminate credit card debt, remodel the kitchen, buy a car or relieve other financial obligations. Many HELOC customers use it for: Debt consolidation Educational costs Medical expenses Start-up business expenditures Vehicle purchases Home renovations Some key facts about a HELOC: A HELOC is much like a credit card or any other type of open-ended credit. You can borrow money as needed, up to the credit limit, just by using your Mountain America Equity Visa® Card. There is no need to reapply. Plus, unlike almost any other type of consumer loan, the interest on a home equity loan may be tax deductible.** Why choose a Mountain America home equity line of credit? For a lot of good reasons, including these: Intro rates as low as 2.49% APR (Normally 4.00%)*** Interest-only options Up to 100% LTV combined financing No origination fees or closing costs options* No annual maintenance fees Potential tax advantages** Access via Equity Visa Card or check Borrow, repay and borrow again without reapplying

Is there a way to view the entire class model for my project graphically? I have several classes and I'd like to see things like someClass 'is a' window and 'has a' frame. I know I could use something like OMNIGRAFFLE and make one myself but is there something built into xcode4 or some other tool that does this?
Take the 2-minute tour
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I use Visual Paragdim UML for that. It creates both code from UML and an UML graph from code. Check out this tutorial to see how. |
Previous versions of Xcode had a class modeler but this was removed in Xcode 4. Presumably it wasn't a popular enough feature to make the cut into v4. No word on whether they plan to add it back into some future 4.x version. |
I needed this to help me analyse an existing project that I'll have to maintain and I found Autograf. Even though it seems not to be actively maintained it still works. |

i just purchased a samsung replenish and can't figure out how to send a mass text message to all my contacts with my new number? i figured out how to add them one by one but is there a faster way?
Did you ever get a response? I have the same phone and I would like to send mass texts out as well versus sending them one-by-one.
I have a large list of people who are not in my phone contact list. I have a CRM system with my customers, can't and don't want all those names in my phone datadase or contact list on my gmail. Seems like most of these only work with numbers in the contact list. Aaarrgghh. I want to just take that list of numbers, maybe names, and create a single text message, send to them all at once. What app can do that? Like import a text list or paste a text list and BAM! There are services online but they don't send from your phone and properly identify you as the sender, thus responses go to a web site?? Any Ideas?

BMW i3 returns in more spy shots
To be unveiled this month
The BMW i3 has been spied once again ahead of an official launch programmed for July 29.
Judging by the previous spy photos we published last week, this is the hybrid version equipped with a range-extending engine. It will allegedly make use of a 0.65-liter, two-cylinder motorcycle engine and provide a total range of 186 miles (300 km), a lot more than the pure electric which is estimated to have a range between 88 miles (130 km) and 99 miles (160 km).
Although we can't see from these photos, the right side of the car has two caps which indicate there's a gas tank. Another difference between the EV and the REx variant is the different alloy wheel design which looks more attractive on the range-extender.

And I'm asking it again: why the hell do small electric cars have to look like silly geeky toy cars?
Jul 8, 2013 1:59 pm
Car makers are being overly cautious, they know electric cars are being looked at by the buying public through a microscope. So rather then making a bold effort like Tesla has with the Model S they're starting their electric cars out as small hatchbacks.
Jul 8, 2013 5:07 pm
BMW does not like it when its new cars are leaked before the official date. I think they r intentionally, as always and as with other manufacturers, leaking this one early so that by the time they officially present the car we are already used to it(new design etc) and perhaps acceptable to it.

Kay Bailey Hutchison: American taxpayers must invest in NASA
Sen. Hutchison challenges NASA spending on commercial spacecraft
Plan B: Pete Olson pushes contingency plan that gives Houston (slight) hope of landing a retired shuttle
As NASA's shuttle program draws to a close, Texas Republican Rep. Pete Olson wants to make sure its memory lives on through carefully protected retired orbiters.
Language he wants to include in NASA appropriations legislation would require the agency to report to Congress plans for transportation and conditions of the vehicles, which are being retired to displays in four U.S. cities. Houston is not included among those retirement destinations, to the chagrin of some Texas politicians.
[Read More]In bipartisan display, Texas lawmakers roast NASA administrator Charles Bolden
Less than a week after liftoff for NASA's final shuttle mission, House lawmakers on Tuesday criticized the head of the space agency for failing to provide Congress with a detailed plan for the future of space exploration.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, also raised questions about the future role NASA will play in Houston, site of the Johnson Space Center.

A group of former astronauts and other critics have blasted the agency and the Obama administration for ending the 30-year-old shuttle program, once the cornerstone of NASA. But NASA Administrator Charles Bolden told a National Press Club luncheon that the agency is merely starting a new chapter of space exploration _ not abandoning human space flight.

Schulte DominosDominos are a curious little German treat that I see in the United States just around Christmas and are also called Dominostein. Think of them like a hearty petit fours. The base is a gingerbread cake, topped with a layer of fruit jelly then a layer or marzipan. For this particular brand of Schulte Dominos, the fruit jelly is apple and the marzipan is actually persipan, which is made from apricot kernels instead of almonds. Although they seem like an ancient sort of confection, according to this page they were invented by Herbert Wendler in Dresden in 1936. I've had dominos quite a few times, Aldi sells a few varieties in both milk and dark chocolate and of course I've had them in while traveling in Germany. This particular version has a nice coating of dark chocolate, which keeps the confection from becoming too sweet. They're pretty shy on calories, only 50 each, probably because part of it is a little bit of cake. This package has 10 pieces in it, which fared quite well - only one was cracked on the top. The package holds 4.4 ounces, so each piece is just shy of a half an ounce each. The package says that this is an Authentic Traditional European Recipe. I don't know if there are a lot of modernized versions or departures from the traditional ... or if other non-Europeans have adopted the confection and have created a competing version. Each piece is not quite a cute. They're 7/8 of an inch square and about 3/4 of an inch high. I'll start from the top down. The persipan is much like a marzipan. It's soft and has a good texture that's not too pasty or sweet. The flavor is much more amaretto infused that many marzipans I've had, which makes me wonder if it's a natural flavor profile for persipan. There is a distinct bitter note to it. The next layer is a jelly, which is pretty bland. I had to read the ingredients to find out that it must be apple at all. It's a little tart and has a slight mealy quality that real apple pulp can bring to a jam. They smell rich, a little like cocoa and molasses and maybe a hint of ginger. The base layer is called gingerbread. It's made from a mix of wheat flour and rye flour along with brown sugar and molasses. It's quite dry, which I think is okay because the jelly and persipan provide a bit of moisture and texture to the whole thing as long as you don't eat the layers separately. However, there's not real spice note to it, or ginger flavor at all. They're hearty and satisfying. It's a great mix of textures with the cool tartness of the jelly mixing with the dry cake and slightly chewy persipan. I had no trouble finishing the tray of them over two days. I have to wonder what a premium version of these would be like. Perhaps with some actually flavored jelly like a good grape, a spiced apple or something more in the citrus marmalade family. I did see that Niederegger makes a version, though I probably can't find those in the United States. The cake part might be better if it was an actual Lebkuchen with ground nuts in it.

Seattle Chocolates TrufflesSeattle Chocolates makes a wide array of little "truffles" wrapped in mylar in a rainbow of colors. The company sent me a sample of 14 flavors of their current flavors to try. They came in a simple clear bag with the truffles actually stacked in color order. (But I chose to show you a photo of their Christmas mint assortment, because I don't actually like photographing clear plastic packaging.) Earlier I called them "truffles" because they're really meltaways. The chocolates are little rectangular blocks of chocolate coated meltaway centers. The centers are a combination of chocolate, flavoring and coconut oil mixed with palm oil. This means that they melt at a different temperature than the chocolate itself. The centers are solid, unlike Lindt Lindor Truffles, which have similar ingredients, but more tropical oils. If this sounds like a Frango, that's because Seattle Chocolates also makes Frangos for Macy's, but also sells them under their own name but with more colorful packaging. The box I got at the top of the review contained three mint flavors: Mint, San Juan Sea Salt and the seasonal Candy Cane. Pictured above I have Dark Chocolate, Mint, San Juan Sea Salt, Cool Mint. I think the first one I should address is the Mint. It comes in a medium green mylar wrapper and is a milk chocolate confection. It smells deliciously pepperminty and takes me back to my childhood and the seasonal boxes of Mint Frangos I consumed (often surreptitiously). The milk chocolate has a strong dairy note and the minty center has a satisfying cool melt along with the peppermint. There are also teensy little pops of salt every once in a while. Often candies like this can be ridiculously sweet, but I didn't find it that way at all. The next to profile is a standard, a basic truffle on which so many other flavors are based, the Dark Chocolate. This one is in a medium blue wrapper. The bite has a satisfying snap, and though the center doesn't look creamy, it melts well. The dark chocolate has a mild flavor, like the common chocolate chips you'd use for cookies. It's a toasty flavor, a little the bitter side but with a smoother melt than baking chips. San Juan Sea Salt is a newer piece, and features a seafoam green wrapper. It's a milk chocolate piece with little toffee bits and a little extra sea salt mixed into the chocolate center. The salt is a wonderful combination with the very milky chocolate and the little toffee bits are a great textural crunch. I did get some of these in the mint set, and they were actually infused with the mint flavors from the other truffles. Either way, it's good. Cool Mint was the last one in this set, a bit of a change from the previous since it features a light blue wrappers and a white center in dark chocolate. It's quite minty and could use a little bit of that salt that the others seem to have. I enjoyed it, but prefer the other mint varieties. Ah, things are getting a little nuttier in the next batch which features Salted Almond, Milk, Peanut Butter, Espresso. I'll start with Espresso because, we'll, I'm in charge. The wrapper is brown, the chocolate is dark. The interior is smooth and has good roasted flavor note. The meltaway itself has little crispy bits ... coffee grounds. The flavor profile is good, I liked the coffee and the grounds or whatever they are aren't too gritty. Out of the mix, this was the first flavor that disappeared. Not too sweet. Milk looks just like the mint, so must give that a glance again except imagine the wrapper is gold. Since there are no other flavor elements in this one, it's a little easier to pick out the profile of the milk chocolate itself. It has a strong dairy flavor, almost like the flavor of cream cheese. It's sweet gets a little oily towards the end. I skipped these after getting the profile. Peanut Butter sounded fantastic. The bronzy wrapper holds a milk chocolate piece with a peanut butter meltaway center. The interesting aspect is that there are also crushed peanuts in there too. Again, this one is oily like the milk chocolate, though it didn't bother me as much. Salted Almond is a bit more trendy and comes in a goldenrod wrapper with a dark chocolate coat. The center is dark chocolate and features a bit of salt and a few almond chips here and there. The toasty flavors of the almonds and dark chocolate were excellent. I'd buy this as a bar, as well. The last set is a little fruity and contains some different concepts in the meltaway concept: Peanut Brittle, Strawberry Creme, Raspberry Creme, Blackberry Creme. Peanut Brittle is similar to the Salted Almond, a little crunchy peanut, maybe with some crispy caramelized sugar in there. Since this is a dark piece, it's far and away different from the Peanut Butter, though far less peanutty. The Strawberry is a white center with what I think is bits of freeze dried strawberries in there. It has some authentic strawberry flavors but suffers from the same oily feeling towards the end. The Raspberry and Blackberry Creme were similar, with some nice berry flavors with a tangy pop here and there. Not Pictured: Coconut Macaroon is in a lighter blue mylar and features a dark chocolate coating and center. This is a pure tropical piece, the coconut oils in the meltaway work their magic here along with a few little bites of toasted coconut. There's a definite coconut smell to it, so much it overpowers the chocolate flavors. Extreme Chocolate comes in a magenta wrapper (I mistook it for one of the berries when I was photographing). This is excellent. It tastes darker than its reputed 65% cacao, with good bitter notes but still enough sweetness. The meltway qualities are still there, but none of the oily textures I didn't like. Also as a bonus, there are crunchy cacao nibs in there. All of the nibs I came across were crisp, not fibery like some origins. Seattle Chocolates also makes a wide variety of Truffle Bars, many in the same flavor profile as the Truffles ... though the ratios differ quite a bit, with more solid chocolate and less meltaway filling in most cases. Seattle Chocolates Truffles are made with non GMO ingredients and are gluten free. They do contain soy and dairy ingredients and obviously the ones that don't have peanuts or tree nuts in them were still processed on shared equipment. They sell most of the flavors singly as well as different flavor assortments, like the Mint, just dark and coffee flavors. As a product line, I give it all a 7 out of 10. For the pieces I liked, such as Salted Almond, Extreme Chocolate and San Juan Sea Salt, I go to 8 out of 10. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-12-21/news/ct-met-schmich-1221-20121221_1_frangos-candy-kitchen-macy Related Candies

Godiva Chef Inspirations Flavors of the WorldGodiva was founded in Belgium as a premium chocolatier. The company is now owned by a Turkish holding coming (Yıldız Holding) but is headquartered in New York and named after an Old English noblewoman. The chocolate is reliably of good quality, though the prices are on the high side compared to other brands now available. I love their packaging, but I'm usually disappointed by the products as they tend to be bland. Still, I was tempted enough by a press release about a new collaboration collection that I stopped by the local Godiva shop and picked up a box of the Chef Inspirations Flavors of the World Collection. It was $18 for a box of eight chocolates in six different flavors. So, six flavors and eight pieces means that I got two duplicates. The box is nice, a rounded rectangle with a plastic formed tray inside. The whole thing was shrink-wrapped and definitely fresh and flawless when I opened it. It included a little brochure that described both the chef and chocolates themselves. Here's a little bit from the website: Banana & Caramelized Coconut: Milk and white chocolate enhanced with caramelized coconut flakes, coconut milk and banana essence topped with the crunch of West African cocoa nibs. The banana flavors are sweet and have a bit of a creamy note. The coconut has a little tropical flavor, the whole thing is soft and chewy. The milk chocolate is smooth, but extremely sweet. Black Tea Mousse & Sichuan Pepper: Chinese Sichuan pepper flavored ganache blended with an aromatic black tea mousse and wrapped in pure Belgian dark chocolate. The mousse has a very light chocolate note but strong tannins from the black tea. I didn't catch much of the pepper, which is too bad. But I did enjoy the tea and this one was less sweet than the others. Sirop de Liege with Speculoos: Classic Belgian Sirop de Liege, a pear and apple syrup, and a Speculoos cookie mousse wrapped in pure Belgian dark chocolate. This is a beautiful piece and an interesting combination. It is by far the most innovative and successful in the assortment. The speculoos is soft and creamy with a hint of gingerbread spices. The syrup is more like a fruit jelly, tart and smooth and bright, it's really a great pairing with the dark chocolate and cookie butter. They should make this in a bar format. Japanese Dark Sugar Ganache: Dark chocolate layered with Kuromitsu molasses and Valencia almond praliné mixed with diced hazelnuts and Guerande sea salt. Since I started Candy Blog, I've been obsessed with Japanese black sugar, so this was the piece was thinking would be a home run. It's nice, don't get me wrong, but lacks any sort of black sugar note at all. The almond and hazelnut notes are great and the touch of sea salt does really balance the piece which gets a bit sweet, but the molasses is just so slight, I missed it. And I had three of these ... the two that came in the box and I bought one on the spot and ate it at the mall. Brazilian Coffee Nut Praliné: Brazilian coffee and Costa Rican chocolate blended with hazelnut praliné enrobed in white chocolate and decorated with crispy chocolate confetti. As you would expect, this one was sweet with the white chocolate coating. The coffee notes a fresh and bright and the hazelnut flavors really mixed well. The little crisps on top gave it the texture it needed as a finish. Dark chocolate enrobing would have made me a bit more satisfied. Honey Roasted Caramel: Caramel infused with hints of honey, almonds, brown sugar and condensed milk covered in milk chocolate and crunchy almonds. This sounds rather pedestrian and it really is, but that's no reason not to appreciate it. It was chewy, but not too sticky. The honey and darker toffee notes were good and the milk chocolate brought it together well with some other dairy notes. The almonds were kind of lost, but at least fresh and crunchy. Overall ... well, it was too sweet and not intense enough. I liked the attempts and part of the fun was just imagining what the combinations would be like. But I think I'll stick with my local chocolatiers like Compartes or Valerie if I want to get into that price range, or just stop at See's and be happy with their caramels. Related Candies

Russell Stover Big Bite Pecan PieRussell Stover has been branching out into more pie flavors for their novelty confections. The Big Bite line already includes S'mores and Apple Pie, now there's Russell Stover's Big Bite Pecan Pie. Pecan Pie is actually just candy in a flaky pastry dough, as far as I'm concerned. The pecan pie filling is a cross between a custard and a fudge, a mix of fats and sugar ... all topped with caramelized pecans. Most pecan pie lacks enough pecans as far as I'm concerned, and I usually want mine in the filling, not just on top. Even though this traveled about a thousand miles, it did well. The graham cracker base was just a little rounded off and about half of the pecans fell off the top. (But were very easy to just pour into my mouth from the package.) This version of pecan pie has milk chocolate ... which isn't a bad thing, I often enjoy a chocolate pecan pie, or at least a pecan pie with a hot fudge sauce on it. Like many pecan pies, the center here has no pecans in it, it's just a penuche-type fudge center with excellent butter and brown sugar notes. The milk chocolate is actually less sweet than the center, which is nice, and the graham cracker moderates it all even more. The pecans are not integrated into this at all, which is disappointing, because they shouldn't be the afterthought, they should be the center. Still, as a confection, it's quite nice, very sweet but a lot of textural interest. As a candy version of pecan pie, it fails. Don't worry, I'm willing to eat Russell Stover's mistakes.

Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Spiced AlmondI've reviewed a couple of the new Ghirardelli panned chocolate items, but up until now they've been pretty standard items. I was intrigued enough with the description of the new Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Spiced Almond to pick them up. The perfect snack to satisfy your craving for crunchy nuts and smooth chocolate ... with a little spice. I liked the package. It's very easy to understand, the images on the front and back are appealing, clear and not too fussy. But mostly I appreciated that the nutrition label and ingredients are easy to read. The ingredients list the allergens in bold, as well as noting them at the end of the list and it was all in a typeface that was large enough for me to read without glasses. The ingredients are pretty clean with no artificial flavors or colors. They even helpfully list out what the spices are: cinnamon, allspice and cayenne. Instead of just mixing the spices into the chocolate to create something slightly gritty, Ghirirdelli instead made a spiced toffee glaze for the almonds before panning them in chocolate. These remind me of the Lindt Holiday Almonds that come out seasonally, but are also coated with powdered sugar. The almonds are big and glossy. They don't smell of spice, just a light sweet dairy note. They have a great crunch if you bite them. The glaze is crispy and the almond are tougher and have a substantial crunch. The chocolate is soft and combines readily with the elements. It's all a bit sweet, even with the neutral almonds to balance it out. The glaze has a generous touch of the spices, with quite a bit of cayenne that builds up slowly until there's a light burn after about five or six. I didn't care for the how sweet they were, maybe I just wanted a smidge of salt in them or a darker milk chocolate. But they are less sweet than the Lindt sister confection, so I'll take that as progress. I have to say that if this trend of mixing the textures of a glazed nut with chocolate takes off, there are a lot of variations that could be quite delectable. The best that I'd tried to date would be the Sconza 70% Toffee Almonds. Ghirardelli is owned by Lindt & Sprungli. They don't have a lot on their website about the sourcing of their cacao except for a statement that they're in compliance with the California transparency act and then point you to the Lindt policies. Now that Lindt owns Russell Stover, they're the third largest chocolate company in the United States, and will probably have a lot more clout when it comes to insisting on transparency and certification within their supply chain for all ingredients.

Good and DeLISH Sea Salt and Turbinado Sugar Dark Chocolate AlmondsHouse brands are often cheap knock-offs of well known brands. But every once in a while a house brand has some sort of wizard-visionary behind the scenes ... I think Walgreen's found one and put them to work on their Good & deLISH line of candies and snacks. Many of these new candies are on trend with flavors like Red Velvet and Caramel Apple but also do a better job than some of the major brands like Russell Stover and Ghirardelli at creating well-priced candies you'd prefer to not share. One of the items I found on the shelves kind of hidden in with the nuts were these new snack containers of candy or chocolate covered nuts and fruits. This one is Good and deLISH Sea Salt and Turbinado Sugar Dark Chocolate Almonds, a name so long it's a wonder they fit it on the little wrapper. http://www.candyblog.net/blog/item/trader_joes_dark_chocolate_almonds Those of you've been reading for a while or have a Trader Joe's in your area may recognize these, they're similar to the Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Almonds. They're an almond, covered in dark chocolate that's also studded with small sea salt and raw sugar nuggets. The package is a squat plastic jar that holds 5 ounces. The wide black cap is to be used as a snack cup, perhaps in the car. The jar is wide mouthed, so you can get your fingers in there, if you're not using the lid as a dish. The overall look of the packaging is utilitarian but not at all appetizing. It looks like something I'd be more likely to find in use to store bolts and fasteners than candy. They're kind of homely little nuggets. It's a crunchy roasted almond covered in semi-sweet chocolate (I'd guess about 50% cacao) with a little dash of salt or sugar sometimes ... then there's a slight dusting of cocoa on the outside. The chocolate is sweet, not exceptionally smooth and boosted a little bit by some extra butterfat (not a vegan product, sorry). The nuts are crunchy and well roasted, with skins on. This leads to a lingering fiber to the chew. The chocolate has a light bitter note towards the end as well, but the beginning and middle is quite sweet for a dark chocolate item. The thing is, I didn't love these the first time I had them at Trader Joe's, I don't love them now, though on paper they seem to have all the right qualities. I want to know more about the chocolate in them and I want a little more consistency with the sugar and salt on top. While I found the Trader Joe's batch I had too salty, these were merely too sweet ... even before the sugar crystals kicked in. I'll see what else this line has to offer when they're on sale ... I do like the concept of the package and would probably find this great for car or plane trips. The Walgreen's site also shows this in an 11 ounce size, which is likely to be a better value.

Ritter Sport Coffee and Hazelnuts (Winter Edition)Ritter Sport has been releasing seasonal variations on their popular square bars for the past few years. Only in the past few years have they appeared reliably on US shelves, and usually for the Winter Editions. The new Ritter Sport Coffee & Hazelnuts is a new bar, though it combines elements from other existing bars. I found my bar at Cost Plus World Market with the Christmas candies, they had all three varieties for this season, including the return of the Caramelized Almond and the also new Vanilla Crescents. It's nice to see new bars in the mix, but disappointing that they're all milk chocolate. This bar was $2.99, a smidge higher than the regulars, which sell for $2.49. The bar looks like all the other Ritter Sport bars ... a 4x4 grid of sections, each with the Ritter Sport logo on top. This is a filled bar, a coffee cream studded with crushed hazelnuts. It's a simple concept and rather baffling that no one has been doing this all along. The ingredients, however, were not promising when it comes to cocoa content: I'm not against fat, I love the stuff. All that fat made this bar pretty high on the calorie count, 172 calories per ounce ... that's 600 for the whole bar (for reference the whole hazelnut dark bar has 550 calories for the whole bar). Ritter Sport has been pretty good about the sourcing of its cacao, but they're not forthcoming about their palm oil. For that reason and others mostly of taste preferences, when buying their bars for just eating, I usually stick to the solid chocolate varieties (or marzipan). It looks great, smells mildly like coffee and cocoa but mostly sweet. The bite is soft, as most of the milk chocolate Ritter Sports are. The cream center has a cool melt and a vague coffee note to it, but it's not as strong as the Espresso Bar, which is disappointing. The cream center is a little slick and thin, ultimately. The bar is extremely sweet for something that's supposed to be coffee and hazelnuts. There are some hazelnuts, enough for a crunch and a touch of gianduia in the center. I really wanted a deep roasted experience ... the mix of the hazelnuts and coffee were promising, but ultimately not as deep as I'd hoped. But if you like Ice Cubes, you'll appreciate the decadence of this bar. Dark chocolate would improve this bar immensely. It's not a bad bar, but like many of the bars that Ritter Sport has been making, especially the filled ones, they're sweet and too oily without enough flavor. I want more dark chocolate options.

See's Bridge MixI picked up the Bridge Mix from See's Candies over the weekend, mostly because the comments from readers were so adamant that it was worth having a try. At $18 a pound it's about 2.5 times more expensive than the Brach's Bridge Mix. It also has all natural chocolate and at least lists a sample of what is probably in the mix: Bite-sized pieces of raisins, coconut, caramel, brittles, almonds, pecans, nougats and more covered in milk and dark chocolate. The kind folks at See's actually gave me a little cup of the mix to sample before I made my purchase ... because it just comes in this one pound box. The box has four little sections, which keep the mix from wandering too much. I don't know if I would necessarily serve it from the box, but the nice thing about Bridge Mix it's a panned candy, which means that it has a little glaze on each piece to keep it from sticking together and you can put it out in a bowl without worrying that it'll all melt into a lump. One of the first things I should mention is that I'm allergic to walnuts. Not deathly allergic, as I'm still alive, but for the most part my reactions to walnut traces lately has been a swollen throat and flushed skin. The See's Bridge Mix does contain walnuts. One of the items is chocolate covered nougat, which has walnuts in it. It's hard to tell, in Bridge mix, which pieces are which, so it's a little difficult for me review these in the normal manner. For any piece that is the right shape to be a nougat, I have to split open first to see what's in it. The good part is that most of the pieces are easy to just chomp. The little items that look like raisins or almonds are raisins and almonds. The pillow things that look like molasses chips are molasses chips. The lumpy things that look like pecans are pecans. It was the little cubes I had the trouble with ... which leads to the general complaint with Bridge Mix. Dark Chocolate covered Caramel Rectangles had a more stringy, chewy caramel than the little cube ones I found a few times. These were quite nice, but maybe a little heavy on the chocolate. Dark Chocolate Lump is Rum Raisin Nougat This is the piece that has walnuts in it. Milk Chocolate Cube is Caramel The picture makes this one look like it might be a chocolate caramel, but it tasted rather rich but caramelly overall. Milk Chocolate Rounded Cube is Butterscotch The See's Butterscotch is one of my favorite pieces. This version is a little drier and has a different set of ratios for the chocolate and center. I prefer the enrobed piece (not the bar), but the creamy melt of the chocolate and sort of buttery brown sugar fudge do work well, especially with the nuts. This and the caramel looked the same to me, and most of the milk cubes were Butterscotch. Dark Chocolate Cube is Toasted Coconut These are wholly unexpected for this type of mix. You can see from the cross section, these are packed with coconut, so they're not too sweet and it is nicely toasted to bring out the tropical flavor. Flat Milk Chocolate Square is Toffee (not pictured) I like the See's Toffee, it's crisp and buttery and easy to bite. The toffee notes are good, but for some reason it's never had that smooth burnt sugar dissolve that I often crave. It's a personal preference issue. Milk Chocolate Pillow is Molasses Crisp. These might have more chocolate on the regular version available by themselves. They're crisp and crunchy, with just enough aeration to the honey-molasses candy to make them easy to bite. The lingering honey notes of the center goes well with just about everything else in this mix. Milk Chocolate Pecans & Almonds - the pecans are fantastic. They're roasted perfectly, they have a great woodsy maple flavor, so you get a sweet crunch combined with the chocolate. The almonds are very small, if I didn't know any better, I would have assumed that they were peanuts. They're well toasted and decent, a good crunch and probably a different variety than the nonpareil almonds I've been eating, because they're less fibery. Dark Chocolate Covered Raisins are quite niece. The raisins are big, though the chocolate isn't particularly dark, it is generous. The mix is very strong, it doesn't have any items that feel like they're cheap filler. I did find that the almonds were left at the end, I was picking out the big bits. But I think once I figured out the code, it was easier to mix and match without worrying that I was going to get a "bad piece." I do not recommend playing roulette if you have a food sensitives when it comes to this sort of thing. I would prefer an actual guide on the package, or at least a real listing the items that are in i. I'd also like to just make my own mix… but that's not the way mixes work. I would definitely buy this again. But I play Canasta, not Bridge. Related Candies

Mr. Hooper
Harold Hooper | |
Sesame Street character | |
Mr. Hooper in his store
First appearance | November 10, 1969 |
Last appearance | 1983 |
Portrayed by | Will Lee |
Information | |
Aliases | Mr. Hooper (often mispronounced by Big Bird as "Cooper," "Looper," etc.) |
Gender | Male |
Harold Hooper (known as Mr. Hooper), played by Will Lee since the premiere of the American children's television program Sesame Street in 1969 until his death in 1982, was one of the first four human characters that appeared on the show. Created by producer and writer Jon Stone, Mr. Hooper is the original proprietor of Hooper's Store, the neighborhood variety store and combination diner/corner store that serves as a place for Muppets and humans to meet and interact. Lee, a character actor and instructor who had been blacklisted during the McCarthy era, was "perfectly cast" as Mr. Hooper.[1] Mr. Hooper ranked first of all human characters of the show in recognition of young viewers. Mr. Hooper, who has been described as "slightly cranky but good-hearted" and "curmudgeonly", bridges the gap between the older generation and its young audience. Hooper's Store, "an idealized social institution",[2] is an extension of his personality. He has a special relationship with the Muppet Big Bird.
At the time of Lee's death, instead of recasting the role, the writers and producers of Sesame Street decided to create an episode that taught their young audience about the difficult topic of death. Research was conducted to ascertain the messages they wanted to convey about the topic, as well as the effect the episode would have on the young children who watched it. They were advised by experts in the fields of child psychology, child development, and religion. Studies conducted after the episode was produced showed that most children understood its messages about death, and that they experienced no long-term ill effects. The episode, written by head writer Norman Stiles, aired on Thanksgiving Day 1983; the cast and crew reported that filming it was an emotional and touching experience. The episode, which set the standard for dealing with difficult topics on children's television, was called heartbreaking yet affirming, and one of the proudest moments in the show's history.
Development and description[edit]
Mr. Hooper, played by Will Lee since the premiere of Sesame Street in 1969 until his death in 1982, was one of the first four human characters that appeared on the show. Created by producer and writer Jon Stone, Lee was the first actor to be cast.[1] Lee came to Stone's attention through writers Bruce and Carole Hart.[3] Mr. Hooper was inspired by the Bob Keeshan character, Captain Kangaroo; Stone previously worked on the Captain Kangaroo program, which greatly influenced him as he developed Sesame Street. Mr. Hooper is the original proprietor of Hooper's Store, the neighborhood variety store and combination diner/corner store that serves as a place for Muppets and humans to meet and interact.[4] Stone's original conception of Mr. Hooper was that he would be, like most owners of such establishments at the time, older, male, Caucasian, and Jewish.[5]
I was delighted to take the role of Mr. Hooper, the gruff grocer with the warm heart. It's a big part, and it allows a lot of latitude. But the show has something extra—that sense that you sometimes get from great theater, the feeling that its influence never stops".
Lee was a character actor and acting instructor with a range of roles in the theater and who had been blacklisted during the McCarthy era. According to writer Michael Davis, Lee played Mr. Hooper, known for his bowtie and hornrimmed glasses,[7] "with such certainty and naturalness he made adults suspend their sense of disbelief".[2] Writer Louise A. Gikow stated that Lee was "perfectly cast" as Mr. Hooper.[1] According to fellow cast member Bob McGrath, who also appeared in Sesame Street's first episode with Lee, "Will had a broader dimension to his character than perhaps the rest of us did ... He convinced me that no matter how simple the scene was with a child, you had to bring a tremendous integrity and an honesty and credibility to it".[1] Joan Ganz Cooney, Sesame Street co-creator and president of the Children's Television Workshop (CTW), said, "He gave millions of children the message that the old and the young have a lot to say to each other".[7] The New York Times reported that Mr. Hooper ranked first of all human characters of the show in recognition of young viewers.[7]
Davis described Mr. Hooper as "slightly cranky but good-hearted".[5] Gikow called Mr. Hooper "curmudgeonly".[1] Davis stated that since Mr. Hooper's appearance in the first episode of Sesame Street, he had become many things to many young children, "... the guy in the apron at the far side of the generation gap, his half-lens glasses slipping down his nose". Davis also stated that Hooper's Store, which he called "an idealized social institution", is an extension of Mr. Hooper's personality.[2] Mr. Hooper has a special relationship with the Muppet character Big Bird, who would often come into Hooper's Store for a birdseed milkshake and a chat, but would mispronounce Mr. Hooper's name.[1] Mr. Hooper's first name, Harold, was not revealed until the character earned a GED during night school.[8]
Mr. Hooper's last appearances on Sesame Street aired in 1983; Lee's last segments for the show were taped in November 1982. Lee participated in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with other Sesame Street characters a few days before he died of a heart attack on December 7, 1982.[7][9]
"Death of Mr. Hooper"[edit]
Instead of recasting the role, or explaining Mr. Hooper's absence by saying that he had moved away, the producers of Sesame Street decided to create an episode that taught their young audience about the difficult topic of death. According to CTW researcher Rosemarie Truglio and her colleagues, the episode was one of the many social issues relevant to preschoolers the show has dealt with throughout its history.[10] Executive producer Dulcy Singer reported that they followed their instincts to be "honest and straightforward" and to "deal with it head-on".[11]
The Sesame Street episode (#1839) in which the death of Mr. Hooper was discussed was structured as all episodes were structured at the time, with individual segments that took place on the main brownstone set (called "street scenes") and interrupted by inserts, or puppet skits, short films, and animations.[12] The episode begins with a scene between Gordon, played by Roscoe Orman, and the Muppet Forgetful Jones, played by puppeteer Richard Hunt. Gordon helps Forgetful remember something that had made him happy; as Davis states, "Later, Big Bird forgets something that makes him sad". After several inserts, Big Bird walks backward with his head between his legs; when Gordon asks him why, he answers, "Just because". Later, Big Bird listens to the adults conversing about a new baby who is due to visit Sesame Street with his mother.
Two segments later, Big Bird interrupts the adults discussing politics by giving them pictures he had drawn of each of them. He gets to Mr. Hooper's picture, saying that he would give it to him when he returns. The adults tearfully and emotionally explain to Big Bird that Mr. Hooper has died, and cannot come back. Big Bird reacts by getting upset, expressing his confusion and sadness. The adults reassure him that they love him and will take care of him. Big Bird asks, "Why does it have to be this way? Give me one good reason!" and Gordon answers, "Big Bird, it has to be this way ... just because." Looking at Mr. Hooper's picture, Big Bird says, mispronouncing his name as he had done many times in the past, "I'm going to miss you, Mr. Looper." Maria corrects Big Bird and everyone gathers around him in support.
The episode ends with Big Bird hanging Mr. Hooper's picture near his nest, and leaving to go see the new baby. Big Bird says, "You know, the one thing is about new babies, one day they're not here and next day, here they are!" He puts his head between his legs once again as the credits roll.
Similar to what they had done with other social issues and in developing their curriculum, the CTW researched the topic of death and how preschoolers understand it. The first step in their research process was to assemble a team of experts, led by CTW research director Lewis Bernstein, in the fields of child psychology, child development, and religion. The team advised the show's writers and producers how to handle the topic, in what they called "a curriculum bath"; Bernstein described it in this way: "We bring in the experts to allow the writer to soak in expertise. We in Research bring in people to provide the information, and then the artistry of the writer takes over, as they integrate what they've heard".[13] The experts advised the producers to provide their viewers with a sense of closure about Mr. Hooper's death. They decided not to focus on how Mr. Hooper died, since explaining that he was old and ill might increase children's fears about death.[9] They chose to deal with his death in a single episode, and convey simple messages like: "Mr. Hooper is dead; Mr. Hooper will not be coming back; and Mr. Hooper will be missed by all".[10] Gikow stated that the episode they created was an example of the writers and producers' skills as educators as well as entertainers.[9]
Before the episode aired, the CTW conducted a series of studies to guide the writers and producers in creating the episode. Their goals was to answer four key questions: (1) Will children understand the messages they wanted to convey about death? (2) How attentive will they be to the storyline? (3) How will parents respond to the treatment of such a sensitive topic? and (4) Will children be disturbed by the messages, and if so, for how long? The researchers broke up children into three groups: children who only watched the scenes in which the storyline was played out and who were interviewed afterwards; children who watched the entire episode and whose attention was recorded while they viewed it; and children who watched the episode without the inserts, with their parents, who were interviewed 9 or 10 days later.[14]
The researchers found that 73% of 4- and 5-year-olds in their study understood that Mr. Hooper was dead and that 88% of this group understood that he was not coming back, although only about one-fourth of the 3-year-old viewers responded correctly. Most of the 4- and 5-year-olds understood that Big Bird and the adults were sad. Most children (80%) were attentive during the episode. The parents interviewed had "overwhelmingly positive" reactions to the show, and that half reported that they had discussed death with their children after viewing it. None of the parents reported negative reactions from their children, either immediately after watching the episode or at a later time.[15]
Development and legacy[edit]
The script Norman [Stiles] wrote became an extraordinary moving television experience for preschoolers and their families. Heartbreaking yet affirming, the episode set a standard for the sensitive treatment of a powerful subject matter than has rarely been equaled. It remains one of the show's proudest moments.
Sesame Street head writer Norman Stiles was chosen to write the segments about Mr. Hooper's death. The episode focused on the life cycle of birth and death by also mentioning the birth of a baby, and by remembering Mr. Hooper. Stiles said, "We decided to say that while Mr. Hooper was not here anymore, we will always have that part of him that lives within the heart, that we have our love and that it will always stay".[13] Stiles wanted to convey that expressing grief for someone who had died was difficult for both adults and children. Instead of providing an explanation, the adults of Sesame Street tell Mr. Hooper's friend Big Bird, when he asked why Mr. Hooper had died, that there was no real reason, that it happened, as Gordon tells Big Bird, "Just because". The show's outside experts advised Stiles and the producers to remove the line because they were concerned that an open-ended explanation would not be enough for children, but Stiles kept the line because it was an acknowledgement, as Gikow stated, that there is never a good explanation about why people die.[17][18]
The episode aired on Thanksgiving Day 1983, a year after Lee's final appearance as Mr. Hooper at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. The producers chose to air it the first week of the new season in order to explain Mr. Hooper's absence as soon as possible, for maximum exposure, and to ensure that parents were at home with their children in order to discuss it.[9][19] The illustrations used for the episode were drawn by Caroll Spinney, who performed Big Bird. Mr. Hooper's picture remained on the set from then on, as a continuing memorial to Lee and Mr. Hooper.[19] Spinney, speaking of the scene in which the pictures were passed out, reported, "When we finished that scene there wasn't one of us whose face wasn't streaked with tears",[19] even Spinney underneath his costume.[16] Jon Stone, who directed the episode, wanted to do another take, although Spinney later said, "There was nothing wrong with that take. It was perfect".[19] Cameraman Frankie Biondo was touched by the performance.[19]
A book, entitled I'll Miss You, Mr. Hooper and based upon the script for the episode, was published in 1984. The book was also written by Stiles. According to Renée Cherow-O'Leary, Stiles and the editorial staff of the CTW's book division worked with the show's research staff and used the same educational content information and research the show's producers used to create the episode.[20]

Rick Klotz would probably be the first person to tell you that his reputation as a fashion provocateur isn't unwarranted, so it's little surprise that his throwback surf line Warriors of Radness has delved deep into the Vietnam mystique, with the celluloid masterpiece Apocalypse Now as a frame of reference, for the brand's new WOR collection. A t-shirt from the line even bears the likeness of Robert Duvall's Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore, the scene-stealing embodiment of American braggadocio as well as the madness of Vietnam, along with the phrase "Fight or surf," a paraphrasing of the character's famous line. The lookbook for the range was shot on Polaroid film by photographer Jack Coleman, the images faded and weathered to look as if they were taken decades ago. Standouts from the heavily military-influenced collection include an M-65 field jacket, boatneck anorak in tiger camo, fishtail parka and beach-inspired print shorts and shirts that blend seamlessly with the '60s motif. All are available now at Warriors of Radness stockists.

I am wanting to mount some aux driving and/or fog lights on my '05 z71 but am unsure of how I want to mount them. I love having tons of lighting:glasses:, I feel it just makes it look that much more intimidating. I am looking for opinions on different mounting options. I am kind of on a budget but would love to hear all of my options. If anyone has pictures that would be great too. Thanks guys...
I am not a fan of those roll-over bars put behind their cab just to mount lights on, so I say your best bet is mounting them behind your grille. Plenty of space and really easy to run the wires!
I like the bull bar or light bar option. It keeps the lights in the right place, and adds a little character, and to some degree, protection for the grill. What kind of lights are you looking at? The Hella Black Magics are 8" lights, and would limit your mounting options, for example.
I 2nd the lights behind the grille. I put them behind the grille of my NNBS and also had them on my '07 Silverado Classic. IMO I think it is the cleanest way to mount aux lights.
You can mount them on a light bar, behind the grill, on a roof rack, or if you have a BackRack or any other sort of headache rack you can mount lights on that.
Has anyone done a write up on mounting lights bethind the grill on a 2005 body style? I cant seem to find 1 on here.
i like the ideas of 'behind the grille' and think you would want fairly large as the grille would steal some light from the actual wattage or brightness. I would think that mounting brackets could be made out of plumbers or duct work ceiling hangers?? Looking at some pics here, I think I might try fogs in the spring behind my grille (my LS would need new corner fenders to even have one set )(2010 Crew 2WD )

Best Seafood Restaurant Phoenix 2002 - C-Fu Gourmet
In Manhattan's or San Francisco's Chinatown, our criterion for selecting a seafood restaurant is simple. It must have live fish, and lots of it, on display. While the Valley lacks a Chinatown, we've found the fresh fish alive and swimming at C-Fu. The choices change with the seasons, but we can usually count on shrimp, Dungeness crab, lobster, oyster, tilapia, flounder or sea bass. Portions are huge, almost two dozen shrimp per order, two-pound crabs, whole fish. Selections are huge, too, spanning almost 100 fishy dishes including jellyfish, abalone, scallops, clams, rock cod, catfish, conch, squid and mussels.
Here's our dream feast of the deep: appetizers of sugar cane shrimp and a walnut shrimp salad. A soup of crab meat and winter melon. Entrees of lobster with black bean sauce (spicy, with bell pepper, bamboo, carrot, onion, water chestnuts, mushrooms and baby corn), plus yu shang rock cod (pan fried in spicy vinaigrette with bell pepper, onion, scallion, bamboo and mushroom). And to round it out, we get salted fish and chicken fried rice or soft lo mein with shrimp and scallops. It's simply the best fish to be found anywhere in town, sea?
