Tropical No Dairy Avocado Ice Cream Recipe
- At August 18, 2010
- By Pamela
- 35
Although the days are getting a bit shorter these days it is still summer. Well, it's summer in the rest of the country (apparently a hot one from what I hear), but here in Los Angeles….not so much. Yes, I'm gonna bitch a little. I know, we have great weather (compared to most everyone else) in the winter, but I would really appreciate some daily temperatures, in July and August, that are warmer than our winter temperatures are. I am mostly complaining because even though I planted more tomato plants than ever before, I am getting far less than ever. Our days have been mostly overcast and it hasn't gotten hot enough for my little maters. I am definitely savoring the one's that I am getting though.
So in hopes of seeing some warmer temperatures I went a little nuts making ice cream. You might recall that I did a post last week for Chocolate Covered Cherry Vegan Ice Cream. Well, I made this avocado ice cream the very next day. Obsess much? I like to think of it more as an offering to Mother Nature summoning her to get her act together and give us some warmer temperatures.
I was still doing my clean detox so this is also a vegan ice cream and would be considered a clean detox recipe. But I promise you, just like before, that you will be the only one who knows everyone is eating a healthy ice cream. You'll also be the only person who knows that the reason why it's green is because it's made from avocado's. Seriously, it's avocado ice cream but you can't taste them. It's a tropical flavor bomb due to the coconut and pineapple that's in there. Think of it as a green piña colada minus a straw.
Even though this ice cream (I know, technically it's not ice cream but let's just go with it) doesn't have the usual milk, eggs and cream it still has a creamy texture thanks to the avocados and coconut milk, but especially from the avocados. This stuff will still freeze solid, so you'll need to do a bit of defrosting before serving if you don't serve it directly from your ice cream maker.
I wanted to add another flavor dimension and some texture to it so I went with chocolate shards, but you could just as easily add some salted nuts. (Since I was doing the detox, I was limited on the nuts I could use and I didn't think that the one's I could eat would pair up well with the avocado. But peanuts and macadamia nuts would be fantastic in this.)
If you've been reading my site for a bit, you know that I'm a rather big fan of coconut oil. I've used it to make desserts like the chocolate cherry ice cream last week and a matcha panna cotta. I've also used it in savory dishes like snow peas with coconut and seafood curry. I like cooking with coconut oil because it's solid at 70 – 80 degrees Farenheit and has a rather high smoke point of roughly 360 degrees Farenheit. This high smoke point makes coconut oil excellent for frying foods and it won't break down.
Relationship Advice
August 18th is officially known as Bad Poetry Day (not just August 18th ). So, in the spirit of the day take a few minutes and jot down a short poem for your honey. I'm not suggesting that you don't try your hardest to make it a great poem but let's face it, we can't all be Walt Whitman or Shel Silverstein now can we?
To get you started here's mine to Craig.
Humpy Bumpy
Diggly Dumpy
I promise you I won't dress frumpy
Makes 1 Quart
- 2 Large Avocados (peeled and pitted)
- 1 15 Ounce Can of Pineapple Tidbits in Juice
- 1/2 Cup Coconut Milk
- 3 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste (or 1/2 of a vanilla bean scraped)
- 1 Large Pinch of Salt
- 1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
- 1/4 Cup Agave Nectar
Cut avocados into small pieces, roughly the same size as the pineapple tidbits.
Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.
Spread the avocado pieces onto the parchment paper.
Drain the can of pineapple, but keep the juice.
Spread half of the pineapple onto the sheet with the avocado.
Freeze the avocado and pineapple for 2-4 hours.
Add half of the frozen avocado and pineapple to the bowl of a food processor. Chop the mixture until it is almost smooth then scrape into a bowl. Process the second batch to the same consistency.
Add the first processed batch back into the bowl of the food processor.
With the blades running, add in the remaining pineapple, pineapple juice, coconut milk, lime juice, vanilla and salt. Process until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover and refrigerate until cold (approximately 1 hour).
While the mixture is chilling, make the chocolate shards.
In a small bowl, add the cocoa powder and coconut oil.
Microwave in 30 second intervals until the coconut oil is melted.
Add the agave nectar to the mixture and stir to thoroughly combine all of the ingredients.
Line a half sheet pan with foil.
Pour the chocolate mixture onto the foil and spread it out into an even thickness.
Put the chocolate into the freezer.
Pour the avocado mixture into the bowl of your ice cream maker and process to its instructions. This mixture will probably thicken up sooner than the listed time to process.
Remove chocolate from freezer.
To make shards, fold up the foil and break into piece sizes that you desire.
Stir the chocolate shards into the avocado ice cream and serve or freeze for a firmer texture.

I made this, but realized after the fact that I never added the salt nor vanilla. Further review of the instructions doesn't say when to add them. Still tastes good, but lacks a little something…May 31, 2014
Hi Larry, I've updated the recipe instructions to include when to add the vanilla and salt (thanks for catching that). The 'something' that's missing is the salt. I know it sounds weird…but just that bit of salt really brings out all the flavors.June 01, 2014

Tropical No Dairy Avocado Ice Cream Recipe 23…August 23, 2010
This looks great! I've been trying to figure out how to use avacados in a different way!August 23, 2010
this is an amazing recipe!! I do love coconut, it just baffles me that the avocado replaces the cream….wow….I would love to try this ice cream!!August 21, 2010
I love all this ice cream you have been creating. I prefer non-traditional "high energy" sweets so this is very much my thing! The avocado & coconut oil sounds amazing. I too use the coconut oil a lot around here. So simple that it can be kept at room temp and just scooped out as needed. Keep up the great work with these inventive recipes xoAugust 21, 2010

Avocado Ice cream sound like a good treat for the summer! I just made a cake with avocado. It seems we had the same thing in mind!

Mmmmm, Green Avocado Ice Cream…. but seriously, youa green piña colada minus a straw! Great recipe… Cheers AnnaAugust 18, 2010
I just tried vegan coconut ice cream (dark chocolate Coconut Bliss bars, to be exact), and I think I'm a convert. I also heard that movie popcorn is fried in coconut oil, so I'm really excited about the stuff! I subscribed to your feed and signed up for the TT newsletter at this email.August 18, 2010
Congratulations Jennifer – check your e-mail!August 21, 2010
I love coconut oil and buy it in gallon size containers. I haven't tried this brand. FYI, I'm already on your feed and I signed up for the newsletter.
Okay so how rich is this? With the fat from the avocado and the coconut oil, I'd think it's so rich I could eat one of those scoops from the picture. Or, did you eat the whole bowl in one sitting.August 18, 2010
I haven't gone so far as to get the gallon containers….yet.
This 'ice cream' seems to have just the right amount of creamy mouthfeel. You don't feel all sluggish after eating it, like you can after eating some of that super premium ice cream. I was good and only ate half of what you see in that picture (immediately following the photo shoot). I had brain freeze from eating it too fast. LOLAugust 21, 2010
Look delicious! I'm sure you've heard of them, but have you ever tried Vietnamese avocado milkshakes? MMMM. The first time someone showed one to me, I thought they were kidding. So based on that, I know your ice cream tastes amazing. Coconut rulz!
Funny, I was just pondering the idea of getting an ice cream make last night. I think reading this is fate telling me something!August 18, 2010
Have never even heard of coconut oil – but I love coconut so I'm thinking I'll love the oil. I'm definitely a subscriber – you keep me laughing! And have signed up for Tropical's newsletter as well – WOO!August 18, 2010
You definitely need to try coconut oil – it's great stuff. You do get a bit of a coconut flavor, but it's not pronounced. I'm glad I get you laughing…it makes my day when I hear that.August 21, 2010
wow…drool-worthy icecream…thanks for the giveaway…I've signed up for your news feed and am already receiving updates from tropical traditions!!!August 18, 2010
I still have not braved the avocado ice cream, but this sounds like a good one to start with. I LOVE avocados, but just don't see them in something sweet..maybe I can change my mind!August 18, 2010
I think I'd like this as I really like avocado smoothies! The colour is stunning too!August 18, 2010

Mumford & Sons – The Banjolin Song Lyrics
She stole my heart and made me sing
She tore me limb from limb
I did not think that I could love
Or be loved that way again
Again, again
How glad I was to be myself
And use my heart once more
How glad I was to be a man
And love that girl that I adore
Adore, adore
Well my eyes shall see light again
And my heart shall bleed right again
Oh my eyes shall see light again
And my heart shall bleed right again

FreeBSD's New VT Console Continues To Progress With Features
Published on 19 June 2014 02:55 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
3 Comments
The FreeBSD "Newcons" effort to provide a new VT console driver continues making progress for its more proper debut in the next major FreeBSD release.
Newcons is the next-generation FreeBSD VT console that provides full Unicode support, double-width character support for CJK characters, larger font maps, and better use of modern graphics capabilities. The code has been enabled in FreeBSD HEAD since just before the new year. The new FreeBSD console is able to take advantage of kernel mode-setting with Radeon and Intel KMS, per the earlier story about
KMS breaking the console in FreeBSD 10.0
All basic console functionality is implemented within Newcons right now while features like CJK fonts and UTF-8 keymap support is still a work in progress. There's also issues with certain hardware configurations in supporting the new console, scrolling/refreshing being very slow for certain systems, etc.
For FreeBSD fans wishing to learn more about the current "Newcons" work, visit

Big East: One More Time, With Feeling
The death of the Big East as we know it hit home last week as 14 teams arrived at the World's Most Famous Arena (Connecticut was ineligible). Next season, the "Catholic 7" will be reportedly joined by Butler, Creighton, and Xavier in a basketball-only conference that has paid to keep the Big East name.
Stage Set For Final Big East Tournament As We Know It
The Big East tournament will have a touch of a wake to it this week. When games end, there will be plenty of reminiscing about rivalries and talk of what is to come.

High style meets high tide in Venice
The journey on the Orient Express was delightful, but on arrival Stephen Bayley found out that the Venetian acqua alta was about to live up to its name
Stephen Bayley
Stephen Bayley is an author, critic, columnist, consultant, broadcaster, debater and curator. With Terence Conran he created the influential Boilerhouse Project in the Victoria & Albert Museum, which evolved into the Design Museum. Stephen writes a regular column for The Independent on Sunday's Travel section, and contributes features that have previously covered anything from travelling through Japan via the iconic Shinkansen, to the artisans of Florence and driving a vintage Fiat 500 around Sicily.
Friday 23 November 2012
The Orient Express to Venice? The trip of a lifetime for prosperous provincial empty-nesting Rotarians? A petting zoo for Poirot fetishists? Premium-priced kitsch for sickly fantasists? A wounding embarrassment for a streamlined design guru?
My critical reverie was interrupted when the waiter said: "Would you like some more caviar?" I asked him if anybody ever said no and he told me: "You'd be surprised." I raised my eyebrows while the sunlight refracting through my Bellini made even Catford look romantic. We rattled towards Folkestone.
Now, to get the terminology sorted out early, the official name of the service that connects London and Paris with La Serenissima is the curiously hyphenated Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. But everyone calls it the Orient Express, all the more so since the old Paris-Istanbul train of that name disappeared.
I enjoy rail journeys and this is a trip I had always wanted to do, even though the Orient Express's retro-fantasia compromised a lifetime's belief in being modern and making a spiritual commitment to advanced technology. Another Bellini helped to calm my qualms.
Actually, I persuaded myself that it is ludicrous to be so self-denying. Venice is itself a retro-fantasia, although one not in as good a condition as the Orient Express and with much worse service and hygiene. Venice is a dream, a memory of a memory. Those amusing street names in Venetian demotic? They were put there only recently. They are no more "authentic" than Mickey's Magic Kingdom. Even to consider Venice is to dabble in the margins of fiction. It is a beautiful rotting corpse which has resisted every modern incursion and convenience that might have kept it alive … apart from the crass tourism which is systematically destroying its remains.
The journey begins at London's Victoria Station where the British Pullman, a private train that gets languorously shunted out of the way to prioritise fretful commuting salarymen, leaves late Thursday morning. Several guests had dressed up to get in character with carriages that are all survivors of the Agatha Christie era. Ours began life as a 1938 First Class Parlour Car. In 1965, it was part of Churchill's funeral train. On 30 October 1972, it ran the very last Golden Arrow service to Paris, and five years later it was acquired by Venice Simplon-Orient-Express for the revival in which I am now participating.
The history is as profound as the upholstery is deep. Outside, brown and cream, perhaps a little like the colour scheme of Princess Dragomiroff's knicker drawer. Inside, a continent's-worth of Australian walnut. The loo is a masterpiece: where today you find plastic, here you find lustrous wood. The floor is terrazzo and the lock is a wonderful rack and pinion.
At Folkestone, the dream world is abruptly suspended. You detrain and board a bus for the transit from the old technology Folkestone station to the new technology Channel Tunnel. Soon you are in a remote railway siding, unattractive even by the astonishing standards of ugliness set by Calais. And then you see the train.
Only the most determined cynic would not be stirred by the dark blue wagons-lits cars with the pink shrouded table lights and the seductive glow plus the enamel signs saying "Paris-Zurich-Innsbruck-Venice". The point about all things Venetian is that they defeat cynicism.
Your cabin is your home for the next day, so you are glad it is so comfortable. We could not stop ourselves smiling like simpletons under a fog of nostalgia. With your first glass of champagne, you look around. My children only know the plastic American "Your Life Jacket Is Under Your Seat", but here you read a brass plaque, that, as a backpacker, defined my early understanding of our richly truffled European civilisation.
The French say "Ne pas se pencher au dehors". The Germans say "Nicht hinauslehnen" while, more beautifully, the Italians make do with "E' pericoloso sporgersi" (it is dangerous to lean out). Delightfully, our cabin has a window which can be fully, with no regard to health and safety, retracted with a beautiful brass handle.
On the train, a lot of Agatha Christie remains: the pushing of bells for en-suite drinks, the slick making-up of beds, the furtive goings-on in the corridor, the tap-tap on the door by the chef du train. Dinner is real food (lobster lasagne with slow-cooked endive) by a real chef (Christian Bodiguel). It made us happy.
We woke up near Zurich, crossed the border to Liechtenstein near Buchs, went through St Anton in the Arlberg, stretched our legs in Innsbruck, eyed the Tirol and went on to Brennero. There followed Bolzano, Trento and the spectral Dolomites, Verona, Vicenza and Padua before arriving in Venice at about 6pm. I nearly forgot to mention lunch. Quail stuffed with figs. Splendid.
Orient Express also owns the Cipriani Hotel, a joint venture of 1956 between Giuseppe Cipriani of Harry's Bar and the three Guinness sisters. The inevitable destination after the train, it is, architecturally speaking, not the most beautiful hotel but its site on the island of Giudecca, just by San Giorgio, is metaphor-testing. Many people with knowledge of the situation think it the best hotel in the world. They may be right.
Although Casanova used its vineyards for dating, Giudecca has a certain bleakness. The derivation might be "zudega", Venetian for "judged", a reference to banishment. On the island you find Palladio's famous Plague Church of Il Redentore, and a nasty women's prison is a memory that here Venetian families used to lock up their unwanted daughters in nunneries.
Thus, the contrast to the Cipriani itself makes the pleasure yet more intense. You arrive in a varnished, plushly upholstered launch, a "free" hotel service that runs night and day. The staff are imperturbable, and the enormous swimming pool is unique, kept at a continuous 28C; it is so big, the story goes, because the Guinness sisters specified it in feet, but they built it in metres.
Every year, Venice has a solemn and beautiful ceremony when it remarries the sea. But sometimes the Bride of the Sea is ravished by it. On the morning of 11 November, the children's Feast of San Martino, we woke to hammering rain and a howling wind. The normally serene waters of the lagoon were churning and breaking violently. High tide, the notorious acqua alta, had been predicted, but, following the lead of Italian seismologists, the weathermen had calamitously underestimated. A tide of 140cm above a reference point by the Salute church is considered "exceptional". Today, it would become 156cm. People would swim in Piazza San Marco.
Conditions were made worse by a fierce wind blowing in from the Adriatic which did not allow the tide to ebb and the worst flood since 1966 was feared; when crabs and fish were not only on the menu, but swimming in the Cipriani lobby. To add a theatrical flourish to the already dramatic weather, we were shipwrecked, or perhaps Cip-wrecked. In a scene worthy of Agatha Christie herself, this was the hotel's last day of the season. They were fixing the shutters and the food was running out, but the landing stages were underwater and boats could not come and go.
This was a keen stimulus to reflections about Venetian eating. The Cipriani's Fortuny restaurant offers "fine dining", but this is a redundant amplification and best avoided. Instead, the informal Cip's Club is much better. In spite of its unflattering design and lighting, its food is fresh, local and confident. We ate a perfect veal carpaccio, warm octopus salad, still wriggling, and scampi simply split and char-grilled.
Food in Venice can be a problem since the volume of dumb tourism does nothing to stimulate standards. I have been visiting since I was a student, so naturally I have favourites, but I asked two friends, both Venetian enthusiasts, for tips.
Russell Norman, the restaurateur whose Polpo is an artful and knowing take on a Venice bàcaro, suggested Cantina do Mori, a dark, crowded, ancient and shouty bar near the wonderful Rialto food market. It's for jostling room only and you order plates of cicchetti: perhaps some burrata with splashing glasses of local wine. It is not restful, but nor is it expensive.
Willie Landels, a Venetian by birth, made Harpers & Queen London's most talked about magazine of the Seventies. He made me promise not to pass on his recommendation, but since it appears in a local guide I will betray my friend. The Trattoria Antiche Carampane is close to the glorious Ponte delle Tette where prostitutes were once encouraged to parade topless to deter Venetian youth from fashionable sodomy. Thus the establishment's trademark features a motif combining a pair of breasts with a wine glass. If that is not enough to make it the best restaurant I know, the home-made cavatelli with clams and fritto misto confirmed my tentative judgement.
How did we get off storm-tossed Giudecca? Masterfully, as the tempest subsided, Roberto, the Cipriani's concierge commandeered the hotel's launch and sent us to our next overnight on the Zattere. This was in the charming La Calcina, a pensione in John Ruskin's old house. Ask for No 22, a corner room with windows on two sides which allows you to lie in bed and stare at Palladio across the Giudecca canal. Ignore the plastic shower curtain and revolting soap – the view is a luxury all of its own.
We flew back to Gatwick. The Orient Express is a magnificent curio and freak weather made the memories stronger. It was altogether exceptional, as Venice always is. Mary McCarthy said there is nothing original you can say about the place. Including that very sentence.

Hi, I'm awkward.
I find it crazy how any of us can die at any moment yet we live our lives always planning for the future
basically i dont care if you drink smoke or do drugs as long as you can hold a conversation about something besides the fact that you drink smoke or do drugs
I'm stuck between wanting:
1. A long lasting relationship with my soulmate who supports me and protects me and is my partner and we are completely bad ass together and in love
2. Wanting to have casual sex and rip out the heart of everyone person I meet
3. Being independent and having a loyal dog while I'm married to my career
It scares me how accurate this is.
how much does a friend cost and do i get a discount if i buy 4

3Degrees Launches New Renewable Energy Certificates
3Degrees has launched three new Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) products: Regional Green Power RECs, Catalyst Wind RECs, and Brighter Schools Solar RECs. The REC offerings are certified by Green-e Energy.
With these new 3Degrees products, organizations can not only match their electricity use with renewable energy, but also specify the type of green power projects they want to generate this energy, according to the company. For example, customers can make green power commitments designed to increase demand for green power generated in specific areas of the country (Regional Green Power RECs). Customers can make commitments designed to increase demand for wind power from projects that have come online on or after January 1, 2011 (Catalyst Wind RECs). And they can make commitments designed to increase demand for solar power from projects that are located at K-12 public schools (Brighter Schools Solar RECs).
One comment on "3Degrees Launches New Renewable Energy Certificates"
It's a really cool idea to be doing that at schools. I kind of wish that there had been some sort of program like this going on when I was still in school

In a high stakes election that could help determine the presidency and control of the U.S. Senate, attention in Nevada is turning this week to one option on the ballot with no shot of winning: None of these candidates.
A lawsuit filed in federal court in June and financed by the Republican National Committee seeks an injunction to boot the state's unique voter option from the Nov. 6 ballot. Since 1976, every election ballot for statewide races, including president and U.S. Senate, gives voters the option to select "none of these candidates."
Nevada is the only state to offer the quirky option. It was a way to combat voter apathy after the Watergate scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon and give them a chance to register their disdain for their choices.
While the law says "none" can't win — even if it receives the most votes — it could play spoiler in a close race.
"None" has never bested named candidates in a general election, though it's come out on top in a few primary contests. In the 1998 U.S. Senate race, however, Democrat Harry Reid won re-election by 428 votes over then-GOP Rep. John Ensign. More than 8,000 voters rejected both men and opted to vote for "none."
That's a scenario the option's challengers — a mix of Republicans, Democrats and independents — don't want to see this year.
The contest between President Barack Obama and presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney promises to be close, as does the one between GOP U.S. Sen. Dean Heller and his Democratic challenger, Rep. Shelley Berkley.
Conventional thinking suggests voters who select "none" may be more likely to favor a challenger, such as Romney, if the option wasn't available.
In their lawsuit against Secretary of State Ross Miller, opponents argue that because "none" doesn't count in the tally to determine a victor, voters — whether they opt for "none" or a candidate who breathes — are disenfranchised.
The attorney general's office, representing Miller, argues the suit should be dismissed. They say voters "always have the right to not vote" for listed candidates, and voting for "none" is essentially no different than skipping a particular race on a ballot altogether.
U.S. District Judge Robert C. Jones is scheduled to hear oral arguments in the case Wednesday.

Title: Can fibrous roots of Chasmanthium latifolium damage house foundation
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Dear Mr.Ms. S-P, Can the fibrous roots of inland sea oats cause foundation problems? I was digging around my foundation and found a root about 1" in diameter that I am afraid might be from sea oats.
Chasmanthium latifolium (Inland sea oats), a grass, has a fibrous root system. The rootlets are very thin and would never be an inch in diameter. It also has rhizomes (underground modified stems) that allow it to propagate laterally. Since stolons and rhizomes are modified stems, they are soft (not woody) like the stems that hold the leaves and flowering parts and would be about the same diameter. So, no, I don't think there is a way that the roots of your sea oats could harm your foundation. In fact, that inch-in-diameter root that you found is likely from a nearby tree or shrub, but I doubt that it could be one of the rhizomes of the sea oats.

... Vargas and Ryan Campbell of the DRM Capitol Group want Americans who oppose illegal immigration and the anti-American DREAM Act to "shut up" (see those links). Vargas and Campbell also mislead about Mitt Romney and Arizona's SB1070, and aren't clear on the actual immigration positions of Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan. From "Immigration hawks and Paul Ryan a liability for Romney" in The...

Commons gets browner as Conservative green pioneer quits
David Cameron has today lost his second green stalwart in less than a week. After John Gummer's New Year's Eve announcement that he would leave the Commons at the next election, Peter Ainsworth has now similarly said he is standing down.
Though Gummer is the more venerable figure, having served 16 years as a minister culminating in being Environment Secretary – only one of five people in 200 years to have had so long a tenure – Ainsworth's loss is the more serious. Though still sprightly, Gummer is now 70 whereas Ainsworth, at 53, potentially had more than a decade of active politics ahead of him.
Ainsworth is probably the most respected green MP of them all, and it was to him that Cameron turned to establish the party's environmental credentials when he took over the leadership, making him shadow environment secretary. Unwisely, he sacked him a year ago, but was widely expected to bring him back, giving him a ministerial role, if he wins the General Election. In the last year, Ainsworth has won two green Parliamentarian of the Year awards (from the Parliamentary Renewable and Sustainable Energy Group and the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management) and successfully piloted through a private member's bill making it easier for people to install renewable energy at home.
Suddenly the next parliament looks as if it will be a lot less green – just at a time that party leaderships are taking environmental issues much more seriously. Alan Simpson and Colin Challen, both longstanding green champions on the Labour benches, are also standing down, while David Taylor – who died on Boxing Day – also had a good record. There will doubtless be some environmentally-minded young Turks among the new intake – but all that experience will be hard to replace.

The heart of rock & roll really is still beating.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame staged its 29th annual induction ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn back in April, and HBO will air excerpts of the event on Saturday. This year's inductees spanned six decades of music, including Nirvana, KISS, Hall and Oates, Cat Stevens, Linda Ronstadt, Peter Gabriel, the E Street Band and, for the first time ever, two managers: The Beatles' Brian Epstein and The Rolling Stones' Andrew Loog Oldham.
Here are 10 highlights from the ceremony that will be shown on Saturday's special — as well as five backstage moments that viewers won't get to see:
The gloves come off in a sensational finale to an incredible season of CBS's The Good Wife (Sunday, 9/8c), one of the best and hands down the most purely entertaining drama series anywhere on TV. The intrigue is riveting as rival law firms (Florrick/Agos, Lockhart/Gardner) go for broke, using any means necessary — including possibly illegal electronic eavesdropping — to get the advantage on the other in what now seems a fight to the death. Partners battle partners between and within both teams, and when Christine Baranski (the embattled Diane) faces off with Michael J. Fox (ruthless interloper Louis Canning) for control of the firm she built with the late Will Gardner, the fireworks are as awesome as the surprising fallout.
The battle round continues. Coldplay singer Chris Martin serves as an adviser.
If you want to understand the modern music industry, Artifact makes for essential viewing. The film follows the band Thirty Seconds to Mars as they fight a brutal lawsuit with their record label EMI, write songs to follow their hit album "A Beautiful Lie," and struggle with big questions over art, money and integrity. Jared Leto, the band's lead singer and an accomplished actor (Requiem for a Dream; Lord of War), embraced the idea for this documentary as a producer and opened his life to the camera during months of excruciating pressures. We watch Jared, working in makeshift home studios, collaborate with his brother Shannon along with Tomo Milicevic and the superstar producer Flood, to create the album "This is War." Between recording sessions, they meet with lawyers to negotiate for the band's survival.
The troubles started in 2008 when Thirty Seconds to Mars tried to exit their contract with EMI. Despite a platinum record, the band hadn't received any royalties. The label turned around and sued the band for $30 million. Many industry watchers viewed the suit as a punitive harassment meant to scare other musicians. Compounding the problem, EMI had recently been bought by the UK equity company Terra Firma for an inflated price of $4.2 billion. Former EMI executives give candid interviews in Artifact describing how the sale resulted in massive upheaval and staff cuts. Once esteemed for its catalogue ranging from the Beatles to Coldplay, EMI appeared to be headed off a cliff.
Leto and his band unexpectedly find themselves poised as a test case for the future of music business. Should they fight the corporation or is it a battle they can't win? In the film, we live through the band's decision-making against the backdrop of the 2008 economic meltdown.
After years in the making, this documentary is a true artifact of our times.

Oh, snap! After 25 seasons, Fox's The Simpsons can still seem as fresh and inventive as when we first met this merrily mutant family — especially when the show raises its game as it does for this weekend's milestone 550th (!) episode (Sunday, 8/7c), a fantastical collaboration with LEGO in which all the elements of visuals, story and jokes click into place with spectacular results.
Seth Rogen returned to Saturday Night Live for his third hosting stint this weekend, and it was distinctly not a charm.
The episode started off promisingly, with Rogen's monologue featuring cameos from celebs — some surprising (Zooey Deschanel), some predictable (James Franco), and some who were there to support musical guest Ed Sheeran (Taylor Swift). But the rest of the night was a bit of a slog, save for a bizarre sketch featuring Franco as a monster who decides to get plastic surgery to appear human.

Analysis: Hamas - A cruel and cynical enemy

On the first full day of a truce with Hamas, the IDF redeployed behind the Israeli border, and senior army officers began sharing their war stories.The accounts all point to a cruel and cynical enemy that is willing to use kindergartens, schools and hospitals as rocket bases and tunnel covers, and which actively seeks to get Gazan civilians killed and injured.One source on Tuesday spoke of how the army uncovered the Gazan shaft of a cross-border tunnel. It surfaced in a hothouse located right next to a Palestinian kindergarten. It led directly to Kibbutz Netiv Ha'asara, where Hamas gunmen planned to massacre civilians.Other units found rocket launch tripods in school playgrounds."At the entrance to Beit Hanun, there were more homes with booby-traps than not," said another army officer."Much of the destruction of homes in Gaza was because of Hamas's booby traps."A brigade commander saw seven buildings utterly destroyed, when IDF shells set off bombs planted by Hamas inside them. "You see the buildings jump up and collapse, and you know a shell can't do that to a multi-story building," the source said.In recent days, the IDF came under increased Hamas mortar fire, and when it traced the origin of the attacks, it found that they came from kindergartens and playgrounds in Gaza."This limited us a lot," said a source."It forced us to take many risks. In some places we refrained from acting.In others, when we had no choice, we fired back."Soldiers spoke of finding antitank missile launchers in children's bedrooms, and automatic rifles in a room next to a child's bedroom."There are certain things that, until you encounter them yourself on the battlefield, you can't understand them," said a source. "Only in combat can you learn these things," he added, referring to the deep knowledge the IDF has recently obtained of Hamas by confronting it on its home turf.This process explains how the ground offensive became focused on destroying the tunnels. The threat of underground passages leading from Gaza into Israel had been known for years, but only recently did the IDF realize how Hamas planned to use them.Hamas planned coordinated, simultaneous raids by hundreds of terrorists, who would have entered southern Israel and simply massacred the inhabitants of southern communities.Had Hamas's plot succeeded, the attack could have been the worst in Israeli history.The same sources, when discussing Palestinian casualties, said they were up front about the Gazan civilians who were unintentionally killed in IDF strikes.Well over 900 terrorists were killed in Gaza, according to the sources, and the civilian-to-combatant casualty ratio was one of the lowest in recent wars fought by Western armies against guerrilla foes.Stories also continue to abound of strikes canceled by the IDF.Looking ahead, army officials said they expect the operation to refresh Israeli deterrence, "both in Gaza and in Lebanon.""Hamas will have to ask itself difficult questions. Was digging tunnels under homes worth it?" said one source.The officers cited the "personal damage to Hamas battalion commanders, who used their homes as command and control centers, and now have no where to return to."A senior IDF commander added, "Gaza is totally different now. Hamas built capabilities it could not effectively activate. Islamic Jihad's apparatus has been taken apart. We were not willing to strike Hamas brigade commanders who hid under Shifa Hospital. That's a victory we could not live with."

I took an old bed sheet and printed some feathers on it. Then I took the pattern of "Simple Two Piece Tunic" and made it a bit longer.
I am very happy how it turned out!
