Arriving in legendary Key West just before the crimson sun slips into blue seas, we join celebrating sunset revelers at Mallory Square and all along the waterfront.
While artisans peddle unique handicrafts, jugglers, zany acrobats, cats walking tightropes and fire eaters draw gasps and applause from swirling crowds. Later, like us, many munch succulent seafood in outdoor bistros, toasting passersby with frosty drinks.
Still savouring our grilled wahoo dinners, my hubby and I escape to the quiet comfort of our B&B. Complete with gingerbread trim and veranda, Rose Lane typifies the many white-painted heritage houses in the heart of old town.
Following deluxe breakfasts served in its lush gardens next morning, we stroll lively Duval Street, commonly known for nightly bar crawls.
Here, taverns, restaurants, galleries and souvenir shops mingle with historic landmarks, including Key West's oldest house, built in 1829. Relics salvaged from the shipwrecks that made Key West the U.S.'s richest city still fill this home. I'm fascinated by the detached cookhouse standing out back in perfectly manicured gardens.
Nearby, a three-storey mansion bears John James Audubon's name. Ushering us along its wide veranda, guide Sophie explains, "A celebrated naturalist, Audubon was a frequent guest of master salvager John Geiger, one of Key West's wealthiest citizens." Inside, she smiles, "These glorious antiques reveal the elegance then commonplace in prosperous homes."
Viewing some of Audubon's original drawings upstairs Sophie comments, "Visiting the Keys and Dry Tortugas in 1832, he sighted 18 new species for his milestone Birds of America folio."
Heritage House Museum also brims with original furnishings and rare artifacts. Preservationist Jesse Porter once hosted celebrities in this Caribbean-Colonial home and poet laureate Robert Frost wintered in its secluded garden cottage, now named for him. Amid these luxuriant gardens we listen to his poetry, almost as if Frost himself is reading.
Curry Mansion stands out among historic houses lining Caroline Street. From a rocking chair on the veranda, the elderly concierge explains, "Starting as a penniless immigrant, William Curry soon became Florida's first millionaire, building this magnificent home in 1855 and furnishing it from his wrecking hauls."
Now an antique-filled inn, we explore this Queen Anne-style mansion's 15 lavish rooms before scrambling up a steep attic ladder to the roof and the spectacular panoramas from its widow's walk.
At Shipwreck Historeum, actors portray feisty movers and shakers of the day, recreating those glory days when wrecked offshore ships produced so many fortunes. Inside, recovered artifacts glitter in an ambience alive with sea shanty music.
Around the corner, we hop on the Old Town Trolley and step off at the Little White House, Florida's only presidential museum. A guide there explains: "Officer's quarters on the naval base were converted into Truman's residence when he first came here in 1946 for rest and relaxation."
During that time, Harry wrote wife Bess, "I've a notion to move the capital to Key West and just stay. . ."
The trolley next drops us off in the old Bahamian neighbourhood where we join fellow literary pilgrims at Ernest Hemingway's two-storey home. Guide Bob regales us with details of Papa's audacious life in this Spanish-Colonial mansion, where he wrote prolifically for over 10 years. "While living in Key West, Hemingway was in his 30s . . . the prime of his life and here you'll experience his personal flare: European antiques, artifacts from African safaris, first editions of his books, even boots and saddlebags from hunting expeditions out West."
Upstairs, an enormous ginger cat stretches out in the middle of Papa's bed.
"This tomcat descends from Papa's first six-toed gypsy cat, a gift from a salvage captain," says Bob. "Polydactyl cats look like they're wearing mittens . . . that extra toe y'know."
About 50 "Hemingway cats" roam throughout lush grounds. Along a brick walkway, paw-prints embellish the patio, miniature kitty cottages dot the yard and pussycats snooze everywhere.
Hemingway's second-storey studio remains intact over the old carriage house. I visualize him early each morning, slipping from his bedroom along the old catwalk above the garden.
Surrounded by his favourite mementoes--still in their places--he'd be seated on his Cuban cigar-maker's chair, pounding away on his portable Royal typewriter finishing A Farewell To Arms, published in 1929. Here, he also wrote For Whom The Bell Tolls, among others, going on to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and Nobel Prize for Literature.
"Remember, Hemingway's Key West was unlike anywhere he'd been," Bob reminds us. "Filled with interesting people from the very well-heeled to down-on-their-luck fishermen and wreckers, he based his fictional characters on them in To Have and Have Not, the acclaimed novel about depression-era Key West."
And though Key West welcomed many writers over the years, none left as lasting a presence as Ernest Hemingway did--and it takes us only a few days to develop our own appreciation for Key West's alluring past.
Prized for her colourful heritage, marvellous 19th-century mansions and exotic ambience, Key West attracts lively crowds just as in days of old.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon addressed his throat cancer on the bank's second quarter earnings call this morning.
Earlier this month, Dimon disclosed that he had treatable throat cancer located adjacent the lymph nodes on the right side of his neck.
"I know some of you have questions about my recent cancer diagnosis," Dimon began. "I want to thank everybody for the calls, notes and good wishes. I feel great. I think I have some of the best doctors in the world. I'm very fortunate that this is curable."
He noted that the cancer has not spread and that there is no evidence of it anywhere else in his body.
He will be undergoing chemo and radiation therapy. He said this is standard the prognosis is "excellent."
Dimon continued that the board will be fully briefed on his condition.
"If they fell it's necessary to make additional disclosures we will do that," he said. He said the next disclosure will be in 7 or 8 weeks adding "I'm feeling better."
Dimon said that he plans to be actively involved in managing the business at JPMorgan throughout his treatment. He added that he has been advised by doctors that he will need to take rest.
"It doesn't mean I won't work," he said, adding that he would give the exact same advice to friends, family and if anyone else came down with this.
The succession plan is the exact same as it was before, he noted. Dimon explained that the board has plans in place that they talk about "all the time" if there's ever a scenario where it would have to be used.

I'm not convinced that The Wolverine is going to be terrible, but boy, have all the shots of that fight scene on-top of the Japanese bullet train looked goofy in the previews. Well, as the first official The Wolverine clip has revealed, this fight scene doesn't just look goofy, it is goofy. Immensely.
Look, I know it's kind of absurd to watch a movie about an immortal mutant with steel bones and claws that shoot out of his hands and start bitching about the verisimilitude of anything, let alone a fight scene, but... still. Oh well. As long this thing doesn't end with an amnesia bullet, it'll still be better than X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Where's the Caramel? Common American Candies, c. 1857
As part of a 1857 curriculum in "Object Lessons," fifth grade pupils in Cincinnati, Ohio were invited to list "things to be seen." Among the many categories, edibles figured highly. And among the edibles, of course candy.
I reproduce here the list of candies as an indicator of what sort of sweets were on the minds of American children in the mid-1800s:
Cream candy, pop-corn, peppermint, molasses, rose, clove, nut, Butterscotch, sugar plums, lemon drops, lemon candy, peppermint drops, French kisses, cinnamon, Ice-cream, wintergreen, sour drops, hoarhound, lavender, gum drops, vanilla, Rock, birch, cats-eyes, orange, cough, kisses.
This is not presented as an exhaustive list. These were the candies children spontaneously named when invited to shout out every sort. Nevertheless, there are some interesting conclusions we can draw.
No chocolate is the obvious one. Chocolate wouldn't become common as a children's candy until well into the 1900s.
Candy flavors are different, too. I take these to be flavors of hard candy or stick candy: peppermint, rose, clove, lemon, wintergreen, "sour," hoarhound, lavender, birch, orange.
"Rock" refers most likely to the English version, hard candy embedded with shapes or letters that is pulled into a long rod and then cut to reveal the design in cross-section. And notice that ice cream, pop corn and nuts are included in the category of "candy" (although nut here might refer also to nut candy). These treats were sold where candy was sold, and eaten as candy was eaten, so the connection makes sense.
I ran across this list while researching the early uses of butterscotch and caramel. Here's something else that I notice on the list: Butterscotch is named, caramel isn't.
I think of caramel as a basic American candy. After all, Milton Hershey got his start in the 1890s selling caramels. But here in 1857 there is no caramel, only Butterscotch, an English candy innovation from the early 1800s. Caramel as a term referring to a stage in the cooking of sugar first appears in the 1700s. But caramel candy, that distinctive caramel flavored chewy morsel, seems to have emerged much later (looks like the 1880s), as a uniquely American variation of the English toffees and butterscotches.
Hershey, as you know, got out of the caramel business and into the chocolate business just at the right time. The twentieth century saw chocolate in ascent, a century of chocolate hegemony. But caramel seems to be making a comeback. Happily, even in candy nothing is eternal.
If you are interested in the common foodstuffs of the mid 1800s, I highly recommend taking a look at the Ohio lists (link here). The variety is surprising and instructive.
Coming Soon: Glow in the Dark Chocolate
Mars, Inc. announces today that its researchers have sucessfully decoded the genome for chocolate (specifically, the Theobroma cacao tree). This gives Mars an important edge in bragging rights over rival Hershey, who had sponsored a French government team of scientists team in a head to head race to sequence the DNA of the cocoa bean. Team Hershey isn't quite finished yet, but promises that their report will be just as good.
You may be surprised to learn that Mars has a huge research arm dedicated to all things chocolate in support of its quest for global candy domination. Mars, Inc. is a closely held private company famous for its secretiveness and inaccessibly, so it's hard to know just what the company is up to. But Mars seems to have an entire division dedicated to speculative chocolate pursuits; Howard Yana-Shapiro is the "global director of plant science and external research" at Mars. And Mars has other intellectual interests. Mars collaborates with UC Davis to sponsor the "Chocolate History Group." In 2009, Mars sponsored the publication of Chocolate: History, Culture and Heritage (Wiley) featuring 57 scholarly essays by 100 experts documenting and analyzing the history and culture of chocolate.
The Mars scientists will make their genome sequence public and prohibit restrictive patents based on the genetic data. So this new science is all for the public good: it may lead to more disease resistant trees, higher yields, better tasting chocolate. One area researchers are particularly interested in is flavonoids, chemicals found in chocolate that are believed to have important heath benefits. So we may be seeing genetically modified, flavonoid boosted "neutraceutical" chocolate in the future, tasty medicine available without a prescription.
But I think these utilitarian ideas of enhancing chocolate betray a lack of imagination. Once you start messing around with the genome, why stick to such boring stuff as flavor and flavonoids? Scientists have isolated the DNA code that makes certain jellyfish flouresce, and transferred it to mice. But why not glow in the dark chocolate? Think how that would revolutionize late night snacking. And once you do that, you could go farther: how about using the gene that makes certain bacteria eat oil to create a chocolate bar the dissolves your belly fat? Or how about inserting the animal gene that makes hair grow: watch out, Rogaine! Of course, you'd have to be careful with that one, since the last thing anyone wants is a chocolate bar that grows hair.

Hershey's Kisses: Got Lawyer?
While I was researching the stories about Kisses and Buds in my previous posts, I came across a lot of interesting information, not all of which is included in the official "Kisses Facts." And I also came across a lot of lawsuits. So here are some things about Hershey's Kisses that you might not know:
Hershey's churns out something like 80 million Kisses a day in three factories (Pennsylvania, California, Virginia). That's 29 billion Kisses a year. There are 305 million people in the U.S. (more now, they just keep coming….). So figure almost one hundred Hershey's Kisses per person—man, woman, infant, child–per year. And if you're not eating your share, someone else is!
Hershey's introduced variations like almonds and Hugs in the 1990s. Then in 2002 they started producing "Special Edition" flavors. These are all over the place: cookies and cream, strawberry, pumpkin spice, pickle. Oh, not pickle yet. Well, I'm sure it's coming. Anyway, if you want to see what kinds of Kisses have come and gone, visit Zoe's Online Hershey's Kisses Collection. Zoe is 11 years old and has been collecting Kisses for five years. She maintains a lovely online collection of more than 55 Kisses flavors. I had no idea!
Save the Earth, Eat a Kiss: the foil wrapper on Hershey's Kisses is recyclable. So throw it in the green bin, or better yet, reuse it to make a fake Hershey's Kiss. See if you can get away with it, but watch out, as our next item demonstrates.
Hershey's Chocolate is litigious when it comes to defending their trademarks. In April 2009, they went after artisinal chocolatier Jacques Torres for a high-end truffle he was selling as "Champagne Kisses." Each Champagne Kiss costs $1.50, for which you get a chocolate cube filled with champagne truffle (made with real Tattinger Rose Champagne) and decorated with a red lips kissing mark. Here's what Hershey alleged:
Hershey is concerned that Jacques Torres Chocolate's use of the mark KISS or KISSES may cause consumer confusion with Hershey as to the source, sponsorship, or affiliation of Jacques Torres Chocolate's product.
And here's what Torres, via his lawyer, replied:
Mr. Torres will not discontinue his use of the term "Champagne Kiss." We believe that this is yet another example of a giant, monolithic corporation attempting to take advantage of "the little guy," in this case, a world-renowned artisan from France. … Mr. Torres vigorously disputes your contention that he is using or infringing upon a Hershey-owned trademark. The analogy might be similar to Chevrolet complaining that Rolls Royce is infringing on the Chevrolet trademark.
Take that, Hershey! Read more: Hershey's v. Jacques Torres: The Lawyer-to-Lawyer Slapdown! — Grub Street New York
There have been cases where Hershey's Chocolate was much more clearly protecting itself from legitimate infringers. An early case involved the Hershey Creamery, also of Lancaster, Pennsylvania; the Hershey family of the Hershey Creamery was no relation to Milton Hershey. The Creamery was mostly an ice cream business, but in the 'teens began producing chocolate candy and cocoa. Then there was trouble:
Milton S. Hershey learned of the candies in 1919, and assigned Charles Ziegler to "find instances of confusion and infringement and of unfair competition". Ziegler found that in addition to making similar products, the packaging used on the chocolates resembled that used by Hershey Company—then called Hershey Chocolate. Investigating complaints from retailers in Boston, New York, Binghamtom, Norfolk, and Richmond, Ziegler reportedly found that retailers were confusing the two products, and sometimes deliberately replacing the higher priced Hershey Company products with the Hershey Creamery products. In Harrisburg, Ziegler found a display of Hershey Creamery "Hershey Kisses" which were bite-sized chocolate drops similar to the chocolate company's creations. After cease and desist letters failed to resolve the problem, Milton Hershey filed suit in 1921 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania for trademark infringement. In 1926, a district judged partially sided with Hershey Chocolate and prohibited the creamery from using the name Hershey's in connection with "manufacture, advertisement, distribution, or sale of, among other things, chocolate, cocoa, chocolate confections, and chocolate or cocoa products".
Source: Wikipedia entry for Hershey Creamery. Wiki sources: D'Antonio, Michael. "A Betting Man". Hershey: Milton S. Hershey's Extraordinary Life of Wealth, Empire, and Utopian Dreams. Simon and Schuster, p. 184–185. Hershey Foods Corp. v. Hershey Creamery Co., 945 F.2d 1272 (3d Cir. 1991)
A fine book on the Hershey Chocolate story is Michael D'Antonio's Hershey: Milton S. Hershey's Extraordinary Life of Wealth, Empire, and Utopian Dreams published by Simon and Schuster in 2006. D'Antonio is an independent journalist, and the book is an "unauthorized" biography. That doesn't mean it's bad, it just means the book is not a product of the Hershey Company. So when Hershey caught wind of the book's cover just a month before the book was to be released, they flipped out. I'm not surprised: the book looks just like a Hershey Bar.
Hershey went to court to get an injunction to stop the publication of the book, based on a violation of its image trademarks. In the suit, they stated:
Hershey does not object to the content of defendant's book, or to the mere use of the word 'Hershey' in the title of the book. However, defendant has designed and adopted a dust jacket for the book which extensively uses Hershey's well-known marks and trade dress beyond any manner permissible under law.
Hershey didn't win this one. The case settled out of court: the book went forward with the trademark images, but with a disclaimer on the cover that says "Neither Authorized Nor Sponsored by the Hershey Company." As for the image of the Hershey bar, it's up to readers to figure out they can't eat it.
Hershey's: Why a Kiss is Just a Kiss
Have you ever wondered why Hershey's Kisses are called "kisses"? Here's the official answer from Hershey's Inc:
While it's not known exactly how KISSES got their name, it is a popular theory that the candy was named for the sound or motion of the chocolate being deposited during the manufacturing process.
Well, as for the first part, that "it's not exactly known," I can't dispute that. Hershey's has been planting their chocolaty kisses on the collective lips of America since 1907. No one alive today was witness to that first chocolate blob, or the "eureka" moment when someone shouted "It's a Kiss!"
But that part about the sound of the chocolate dropping onto the conveyor belt? I'm afraid I'm going to have to pop a big old hole in that bubble of a story.
The fact is, back in 1907 you had your choice of kisses. There were generic flavored kisses like Cocoanut Kisses, Molasses Kisses, Nut Kisses, simple candies that anyone might make. Then there were the fanciful brand name Kisses: Sun Bonnet Kisses (National Candy Co, Chicago); Miller's Violet Kisses (George Miller & Son, Philadelphia); Blue Bell Kisses (Robt. F. Mackenzie Co, Cleveland), Honey Corn Kisses (Wm. J. Madden & Co NY); Nethersole Kisses, Moonlight Kisses (United States Candy Co, Cleveland); Elfin Kisses (Caldwell Sweet Co, Bangor Maine); Heckerman's Lucky Kisses: 5 cent box "assorted selected flavors." My personal favorite wasn't around in 1907, but I'll mention it anyway since we're on the topic of Kisses. The Novelty Candy Company offered around 1915 a pack of three flavors, cinnamon, molasses, and vanilla called Tom, Dick and Harry Kisses, "the kiss you can't afford to miss."
So when Hershey's came up with a little bite of chocolate, calling it a "chocolate kiss" was sort of obvious. A candy "kiss" was just another name for a small bite sized candy, typically something with a softer texture. There were lots of other names for small bite sized candy at the time: drops, buttons, blossoms, balls. There was nothing at all special in 1907 about the name "chocolate kiss."
In fact, the rival chocolate company H. O. Wilbur and Sons was the one who had come up with a proprietary name for their own bite sized chocolate: Wilbur's Chocolate Buds. Wilbur had taken the important step of trademarking the name "Bud" for its chocolate in 1906.
But just as with today's "xerox" and "kleenex," the term "chocolate bud" was quickly coming to mean any sort of chocolate drop, and imitators were rushing in to sell their own "buds." Things got so bad that Wilbur went to court to get an injunction against competitors trying to pass off their look-alike products as genuine Buds. Trade magazine advertisements warned dealers against accepting imitations and insisted: "there are no buds but Wilbur's." Ads taken out in popular magazines cautioned candy lovers to watch out for "counterfeits" and make sure their Buds were genuine Wilbur Buds.
When people talked about "chocolate buds" in the 1900s, its pretty clear that they are talking about Wilbur's product or something very similar. A 1914 recipe for an ice cream sundae, for example, suggests sprinkle of "chocolate buds" on top. A 1911 publication suggesting ideas for money-making proposed that a woman going into the candy business might stock her store with "the finest chocolate buds, marshmallows, and different size cakes of the best milk chocolate."
In contrast, the term "chocolate kisses" could mean just about anything small and chocolate flavored. In addition to references to candy, I found the term in late nineteenth and early twentieth century cook books to name different sorts of cookies. And in 1910 when the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture examined 336 candy samples for purity and accurate labeling, 13 of those candies were described as "chocolate kisses," a generic category. Only one of those candies was a "chocolate bud."
It wasn't until after the end of WWI that the term "kiss" seemed to be increasingly associated with the chocolate drop. The November 1919 issue of Confectioners Journal included an ad from the Racine Confectioners Manufacturing Company for the "Racine Chocolate Depositor," a machine that was for making " Chocolate Kisses and Stars… cast on metal covered plaques without the use of molds of any kind….plain tubes for kisses, or with tubes for 5-6-8-10-12 point stars. Then in late 1921, L. Weiscopf of New York advertised a "Chocolate 'Kiss' foil Wrapping Machine" and boasted that it was "in constant operation in several of the largest chocolate manufacturing plants in the United States." This is most likely they machine Hershey's used, a machine that also allowed them to include the distinctive paper plume peeking out of the foil wrapper.
The marketing of these specialized machines suggests that, after WWI, Hershey's chocolate kiss had become so familiar that when candy people wanted a general term for a conical drop of chocolate, they called it a "kiss." But the fact that these machines were sold widely also tells us that others besides Hershey's were making and selling chocolate kisses.
"Kiss" was, for most of the twentieth century, just a generic term for a bite sized candy. This is why for 90 years Hershey's was unable to trademark the term "Kiss" as a name they could use exclusively for their chocolate kisses. Until a the late 1990s, every trademark application for logos or wrapper images for "Hershey's Chocolate Kisses" included a limitation: the term "kiss" was always excluded. The trademark examiners insisted that "kiss" was a general term for a sort of candy, and according to U.S. Trademark law, you can't claim a trademark for a general term like "milk" or "tissue."
Finally, in 2001, Hershey's won the trademark after a prolonged legal battle (U.S. Registration 2,416,701). Henceforth, only one candy could call itself a "Kiss." Hershey's lawyers argued that, despite a long history of general usage, by the 1990s America was persuaded that a candy called "kiss" always meant Hershey's Kiss, and they commissioned a huge survey to prove it. The judge sided with Hershey's, and a kiss became a Kiss ™.
Which was first: the Hershey's Kiss or the Wilbur Bud? Read about the candy copy cats in my previous post, "Kissing Cousins."
Just for Fun: You can read the legal briefs filed for and against "Kiss" on the U.S. Patents and Trademarks website. From "Trademark Document Retrieval," enter the registration number 2416701. Choose the document dated 24-Feb-2009 called "Unclassified."
Kissing Cousins: the Hershey's Kiss and the Wilbur Bud
Hershey's Chocolate Kisses: do we need to say more? Everybody knows the Kiss. Hershey's Kiss is certainly one of top contenders for "American Candy Idol." But today, Candy Professor takes you back to a time when the Kiss was not the Kiss, back to a time when candy brands were still a new idea, and candy makers didn't always know the best ways to profit from their candy innovations.
Hershey's today is one of the major candy companies in the world, boasting annual sales in excess of $4 billion dollars. But around 1900, Hershey's was one among many contenders for America's top chocolate maker. The big business in chocolate at that time was not so much direct retail products, but selling various coatings and chocolate ingredients to candy makers large and small. Rivals like Stollwerck Brothers of New York and Chicago, H. O. Wilbur and Sons of Philadelphia, and Rockwood and Co.of Brooklyn were promoting their own chocolate goods, each promising purity, quality and taste unrivaled. Finished candy goods were, for many of these companies, a side line to the real action in wholesale cocoa and chocolate.
Milton Hershey was early to realize the potential for selling eating chocolate on a national scale. He developed his own technique for making milk chocolate and began manufacturing small batches in 1900. Hershey's chocolate bars were a huge success, and he quickly expanded, moving to an enormous new factory in the town that would come to be known as Hershey, Pennsylvania in 1905. The first full year of manufacture in the new factory, sales of Hershey's chocolate products topped $1 million; that's about $24 million in today's dollars.
By 1907, the year the Kiss was introduced, sales had doubled to $2 million. Even then, Hershey was a major player. But other chocolate houses had their own eating chocolate products. And when Hershey came up with the "Milk-Maid Chocolate Kiss" back in 1907, it wasn't the only foil-wrapped chocolate bite in town.
Rival chocolate manufacturer H.O. Wilbur and Son had been selling a bite-sized foil-wrapped conical chocolate drop called the "Wilbur Bud" since 1894. You wouldn't know it today, but back in the 1900s, Wilbur set the standard for those little foil-wrapped chocolates. The candy journal International Confectioner waxed rhapsodic over the beauty and hygiene of Wilbur's candy in 1914:
Each piece is wrapped separately; they are packed like jewels. A large box of Wilbeurbuds can lie open several days before it is all eaten. … Our little Wilburbuds can't go stale–each is wrapped in foil.
It was Hershey that was the copy cat.
And Hershey wasn't the only one. H.O. Wilbur even went to court in 1909 to try to stop the imitators. One of these might have been Rockwood's Chocolate Dainties, which were sold four for one cent. In their little foil wrapper, they would have been indistinguishable from Wilbur's Buds or Hershey's Kisses or any other similar chocolate.
Unwrapped, the Wilbur Bud was quite distinctive; the bottom of the candy was molded into a flower shape and the letters W-I-L-B-U-R embossed in each petal.
In contrast, the Hershey's Kiss then as now isn't much to look at. It is just a plain cone, its bottom flat and unadorned. While this perhaps was less lovely to behold, it did mean the Kiss could be manufactured by dropping the chocolate on a flat belt, rather than needing special molds. This would eventually matter quite a lot, but in 1907 the Kiss's plain-Jane looks would have been a distinct disadvantage.
The decisive moment for the Hershey's Kiss was 1921, when new manufacturing equipment allowed the foil wrapping to be automated, and also allowed for the inclusion of the "plume" that extends from the top of every Chocolate Kiss. By spring of 1922 Hershey's was taking out full page ads blaring "Insist upon having the "GENUINE" Sweet Milk Chocolate Hershey's KISSES. Be Sure They Contain the Identification Tag 'HERSHEY'S." The plume was trademarked in 1924, meaning that no other conical foil wrapped chocolate could use the same technique to stand out.
Wilbur, and many other small American chocolate concerns, eventually fell behind Hershey in the race for market share. Milton Hershey was a generous philanthropist as well as a brilliant business man, and the success of the company in dominating the American chocolate scene is a fascinating story of doing well by doing good. Today, Hershey's Kisses are a multi-million dollar share of the American candy market. And Wilbur's Chocolate Buds? You can still buy them by mail-order, or out of a little Wilbur Chocolates storefront in Lititz, Pennsylvania.
So why are Hershey's Kisses called Kisses, anyway? Read more in my next post, "Why a Kiss is Just a Kiss."

Mason girl is newest March of Dimes ambassador
Girl survives after being born 9 weeks early
Something that the Centofanti family of mason will have to get used to is telling the story of their middle child, Nina, and her premature birth.
"When Nina came along, Chris had some health complications with something called Help syndrome. Nina was born at 2 pounds, 15 ounces, and you know, was quite small," Vince Centofanti said. "We were in the NICU at Good Sam for five weeks, and as you can see she's doing well now."
But the reason they will be telling her story is because Nina is now the national ambassador for the March of Dimes.
Vince works for General Electric, in the division that makes equipment for preemies. His wife Chris was a neonatal intensive care unit nurse for years.
Then they became parents to Nina, born 9 weeks early.
"You cannot be prepared to see your baby in an incubator. You can't pick them up, you can't hold them, you can't take them home like your full-term babies," Vince Centofanti said.
"It's an incredibly humbling experience to be on the other side, watching my own daughter, having to give up every instinct I had, which was to care for her professionally, and instead sit on my hands and just be her mom," Chris Centofanti said
The family talked to the UAW and other union workers in Sharonville Thursday. Their message -- support the March of Dimes and the March for Babies this spring.
Nina is now 7 and will be delivering her message across the country over the next few months.
"I get to help babies, just like the March of Dimes helped me," Nina Centofanti said.
Including one meeting they're all excited about.
"We get to see President Obama in the White House, in the Oval Office. It's something the administrations have been doing for years," Vince Centofanti said.
The Cincinnati March of Dimes March for Babies takes place April 28.

While he awaits the sheriff's reports laying out the details of the crash that killed Jeff Littmann, Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel has been fielding calls from local cyclists worried about the dangers on local roads.
He shares their concerns.
While unable to talk specifics about the Littmann case, the veteran prosecutor was forthright about cycling issues and escalating conflicts in a phone conversation last week. He had met Littmann a couple times, and like most everyone else, considered his death to be "a terrible tragedy."
"It's been a rough year for cyclists in this county," Schimel said, referring to the three bicyclists killed in crashes involving cyclists and motor vehicles.
In particular, the district attorney said he is troubled by the increasing use of cell phones and other electronic devices that distract motorists.
"It's unacceptable, the percentage of people who drive with the phone to their ear," Schimel said. "I don't see good things coming from that.
"Drivers need to be focused on the task at hand: driving."
To be clear, Schimel has not yet received any information to show whether the driver in the Littmann crash on Oct. 1 was using a phone when he drove into the 56-year-old cyclist on Wisconsin Ave. in Nashotah.
If there was a phone in the car, Schimel expects to receive the records on that point through the driver's consent or a subpoena.
The driver, Kyle Dieringer, 25, of Nashotah, told sheriff's deputies he was blinded by the morning sun and hit Littmann and Lauren Jensen before he saw them traveling eastbound in front of him. Jensen was injured, but is home recovering.

At some point, Schimel will decide whether he believes Dieringer committed a crime.
In a somewhat similar case earlier this year, the district attorney determined no criminal charges were warranted against Samuel Weirick, who drove into Brett Netke on Highway 18 in the Town of Summit on Father's Day. Netke died, and Weirick paid a $114 citation for failing to yield the three-feet of clearance required by law when overtaking a bicycle.
Because the infraction resulted in a death, Weirick also had his license suspended for one year.
Schimel said he found Weirick made a mistake when he misjudged the time he had to pass Netke, who was pedaling eastbound ahead of him. Oncoming traffic closed the gap sooner than Weirick had anticipated.
As Schimel viewed it, the mistake didn't rise to the level of a crime, spelled out in the state statutes under homicide by negligent use of a vehicle.
Juries weighing that charge are instructed to consider whether the driver knowingly created an "unreasonable and substantial risk of death or great bodily harm." That requires prosecutors to show the driver's actions went beyond an error in judgment.
To provide authorities with another alternative, a number of states have adopted vulnerable user laws. The statutes provide additional penalties for motorits who kill or severely injure bicyclists, pedestrians and workers while committing driving violations.
The Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin will seek to have a similar law introduced during the next legislative session, according to Kevin Hardman, the executive director.
It's likely to be several weeks before Schimel receives the reports from the sheriff's investigation in the Littmann case. When that happens, he'll look to determine if the driver was reckless, impaired or inattentive.
Regardless of the outcome, the prosecutor made it clear he understands that cyclists have a right to be ride on the road and need to obey the rules.
Brett Netke didn't violate any traffic law and the preliminary reports show that Jeff Littmann also was riding legally when he was killed, Schimel said.
And, living in the Town of Genesee, he often sees groups of cyclists on the road; some of them training in full team gear, others enjoying the scenery. Sometimes, motorists have to wait a bit to pass them safely, and they should, he said.
Those packs of colorful bicyclists aren't a nuisance, but "part of the ambience of living in the country."
Memorials: Dozens of cyclists gathered at Littman's bike shop, Attitude Sports in Pewaukee, and biked in his honor on Sunday morning. It was a day after his funeral in Cudahy. Jason Kayzar wrote about the ride on his blog and CBS Channel 58 provided this video report.
In a tribute to her stepfather, Ashley James raced in the Cincinnati UCI3 Cyclocross Festival on Sunday in a gray skinsuit, an oversized version of the kit that Littmann favored. Her race was more impressive than her clothing, a fourth-place finish among the elite competition.
Safety tips: In keeping with Schimel's main point - the roads should be safer - we'll share a few links to guides for drivers and bikers. First this from the Bicycle Federation, and this from Bicycling Magazine.

Recently, I was offered a chance for my twin girls (who just turned 5 in July) to try out some arts and crafts kits made by a company called Creativity For Kids.
Since we're still in the midst of summer vacation (and I'm starting to struggle for fun and new things to keep the kids occupied (and thus any surviving remnants of my sanity intact), I leapt at the chance with all the ferocity of a mother lion desperate to feed her young (lest they start gnawing on her).
We received the Deluxe Glitter Art Kit
"Add some sparkle, shine and shimmer to all of your craft projects. This deluxe art set includes an array of glitter glue, shaker-top glitter pots, glitter stickers, glitter paper, gift tags, envelopes, greeting cards, craft glue, trinket boxes and more. This is a perfect craft activity for parties, holiday projects and seasonal crafting."
The twins LOVED this kit! I had to fight them off to get this pic of the insides:
The only thing I had to take away were the shaker-top glitter pots, as the potential for mayhem loomed large with those. The rest of the items included were no problem for my girls to comport themselves with decorum.
The girls eagerly set to work right away on making some cards for their daddy's desk at work.
We were pretty impressed with what the girls did with the cards!
And the trinket boxes turned out very lovely as well!
The Tile Art Necklace Kit
"Turn ceramic tiles into amazing art you can wear and share. Decorate eight 1″ square tiles with fun paper designs, ribbon, rhinestones, pearls, and glitter accents. Includes colorful cotton jewelry cords, Jewelry findings, scissors, stencil and 3 gift boxes."
This is what was inside this kit:
At first I thought this would be great for the girls, as they love to make presents for their friends, but each step of the way required time for glue to dry.
5-year olds are not known for their vast realms of patience. I managed to get them through gluing the backs on the tiles and picking out the designs/gems/decorations they wanted on their pendants, but with each glued-on addition (and requisite drying time) I had to scramble harder to find other activities to distract them with. The recommended age for this craft kit is actually 7+, and I'd have to agree. Probably it's a nice activity to do when you can relax with a good book and cup of cocoa during drying times.
We finally got to this stage:
and the girls finally gave up. Halle chose the bird design, Zanna (for reasons she wouldn't explain) chose the "D", and I chose my initial: "L".
We haven't actually completed this project because the girls are still too frustrated by it, so I'm going to put it in our art supply cabinet for future use.
Moving right along, the next kit we tried was the Mossy Meadows Gnome Garden Kit
"Everything you need to create an enchanting home for 3 wee gnomes. This all-inclusive garden craft kit includes a garden dish, potting mix, wheat grass seeds, bark house, leaf-shaped pond, mossy rocks, stepping stones, resin gnomes, toadstools, ladybugs, paint, brush and a mister – just add water and a little sunshine."
Since the girls are head-over-heels in love with making Fairy Houses, this seemed like and actually turned out to be a home-run hit!
They never got bored with it and had a great time painting and arranging the objects for the garden, and then sprinkling & pressing down the wheatgrass seeds (possible allergen for some?) and misting the garden.
The only things I had to be aware of (since the girls are kind of young) was that the original paints that came with the kit would dry permanently – so I substituted washable non-permanent paints (just had to be careful when watering the garden or the paint would run), and the mister bottle to water the garden is a little hard for small hands to handle. The girls gave it a good try though, but finally asked me to help them out with that part.
And after a week, the garden had grass! The girls were very happy about this and have let the garden sit on our living room table unmolested – this is a pretty rare thing and a testament to how much they loved this kit!
So overall the girls had a great time with these kits, and they certainly staved off the incessant whines of "Mooooom! I'm BORED! Can we do something NEW?"
And what's even better is that Creativity For Kids and MomSelect have offered me the chance to host a giveaway for a Craft Kit Gift Pack that one of my readers at TwiceBlessedLife.com can win!
It includes:
Beach Buddies Shell Craft Kit (ARV $17.99)
Deluxe Glitter Art Kit (ARV $29.99)
Just enter with the rafflecopter form below 🙂
**Disclaimer: I received the free products mentioned in the review as part of a promotional program with MomSelect. All opinions are my own.

Property For Sale in Sandton
Luxury homes are in a league of their own because the criteria that determine a home luxury changes and is largely influenced by the clients buying high-end homes at any given time. Luxury isn't strictly based on price. It's a moving target influenced by a number of factors and primarily, trends. For an example, the market once considered luxury homes to be spacious mansions equipped with their own theaters and skating rinks. How times have changed! De-mansionization is the movement of luxury homes becoming smaller, and smarter, but not less luxurious. This is only one way in which the market has changed its demands, and even this trend is not consistent.
Luxury is also influenced by its location in a big way. In Los Angeles where the weather is favorable all year, luxury would be a home that blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor space with large glass walls that open the home up entirely to the elements. Further North, however, being shielded from the elements would be ideal but with elements of design that bring nature inside with the use of skylights, 3 season spaces, and indoor landscaping and plant life. Socioeconomics of a city also matter. In a city so congested that cars aren't utilized much, a home with a multiple stall garage will not be considered a luxury but instead, a smaller space closest to the city center. Luxury homes are thoughtful for this reason, designed around the environment and city they're placed in.
4. Highest Quality Building Materials
At every glance and with every turn in a luxury home you will see magnificent upgrades; granite, hardware, stainless steel and other attractive metals, sophisticated light fixtures, touch screens and buttons, crown molding and tray ceilings, custom closets, and more.
5. Security and Privacy
Coded gates, modern bomb shelters, bulletproof doors and glass, and live feed and recorded security camera systems are all features luxury homebuyers enjoy.
6. Something Special
One unexpected luxury ingredient high-end buyers look for in a luxury home is a cool story, a famous designer, or history attached to the home. For some buyers, this is the factor that quickly brings the home to closing because this type of buyer develops a deeper emotional and intellectual connection to the home.

Tax Lien Property For Sale - Will this help you?
To partition or not to partition, that is the question. Partition is a legal action instituted for the purpose of dividing real estate owned by two or more people. If one or more of the co-owners of real estate is or are unwilling to sell the property and divide the proceeds of sale in accordance with all of the co-owners' ownership interests, it is the only way that a person who owns a share of real estate as a tenant in common or joint tenant can separate his or her interest from the other co-owners.
A joint tenancy is a form of ownership in which the co-owners own a property equally. If one dies, the other automatically inherits the entire property. By contrast, a tenancy in common is a type of joint tenancy of property without right of survivorship; each co-owner's portion is distributable under a will. Thus, in a tenancy in common each can leave his or her interest upon death to beneficiaries of his choosing instead of to the other owners, as is required with joint tenancy. The type of ownership is determined by reading the description in the deed. In New Jersey, two people, other than married couples, are presumed to own property as tenants in common unless they've agreed otherwise in writing in the deed. If two or more individuals inherit property then the last will and testament of the decedent will specify the type of joint ownership.
Partition of real estate can be in kind, meaning that the property is actually physically divided and split up among the owners. If that is not possible, and it most commonly is not possible, then a court ultimately will order a public or private sale of the real estate and the division of the sale proceeds among the parties according to their respective interests. Thus, it is common, and often in the parties' mutual best interest, to work out a deal in which one co-owner buys out the other(s).
Thus, what a person's interest in the property is for purposes of partition varies depending on the facts of each case. Even though there are general rules, because partition is an equitable matter, the decision in each case is up to the sound discretion of the judge.
It is very important to seek the advice of a qualified real estate attorney who has handled partition matters. Each partition matter is fact sensitive and you need a lawyer who will vigorously argue on your behalf. It is also important to retain any documents related to the purchase and care of the property. If the parties have made any type of agreement with regard to the eventual sale of the property, the agreement must be in writing.
If you have any questions about partitioning a property, please do not hesitate to call us.

The Winter Park Playhouse will continue its tradition of offering lighthearted musical theater in its upcoming 10th-anniversary season.
And, as a thank-you to series subscribers, season tickets will be offered at the original 2002 prices.
There's one theater staple — "Nunsense" — in the lineup, as well as tributes to American icons Irving Berlin and Frank Sinatra. Many of the shows are built around familiar pop standards.
Before the fall season begins, the Playhouse will present "Suds," a musical comedy set in a 1960s Laundromat and featuring songs of that era such as "Loco-Motion" and "Where the Boys Are." It will run from June 21-July 21.
The 2012-13 season officially begins in August with "Nunsense," winner of four Outer Critics Circle Awards including Best Off-Broadway Musical. A local-theater staple, "Nunsense" tells the story of the Little Sisters of Hoboken, who discover their cook has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters. They then put on a variety show to raise funds for their burials.
"Pete 'n' Keely" tells the story of a former duo who reunite for a television special. The only problem: They haven't spoken to each other in five years, following a big breakup. The show features hit songs "Fever," "Black Coffee," "Besame Mucho" and others.
Another show based on a compendium of hits — albeit from another era — is "All-Night Strut." Swing's the thing in this celebration of the tunes of the 1930s and '40s. The show features jazz, blues and standard hits by Duke Ellington, Hoagy Carmichael, Frank Loesser, Johnny Mercer, Cab Calloway and the Gershwins.
Winter Park Playhouse artistic director Roy Alan, musical director Chris Leavy and Todd Allen Long have created "Steppin' Out With Irving Berlin," a tribute to the iconic composer. The song-and-dance show will honor the life and career of Berlin, known for songs such as "Puttin' on the Ritz," "Steppin' Out With My Baby" and, of course, "White Christmas."
Another tribute show, "My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra," is an ode to "Ol' Blue Eyes," as Sinatra was known.
The season will close with "The Kids Left, the Dog Dies, Now What?" The musical takes a comedic look at a host of midlife-crisis points including AARP membership, divorce, dating and plastic surgery.
The Winter Park Playhouse is at 711-C Orange Ave., Winter Park.

Developed by the Oracle Corporation, VirtualBox is a popular application that allows for other operating systems (known as Guests) to be installed and run within an existing operating system (known as the Host). This is undertaken through the process of virtualisation, whereby virtual versions of your computer (also referred to as virtual machines or VMs) are created within and draw resources directly from the host system. As such, how fast or powerful a virtual machine may be will depend entirely on the resources available - and allocated - for it to use. The benefits of virtualisation include:
- The fast and easy installation of other operating systems without affecting your existing system (e.g. no need for dual booting and/or preparation in the form of hard disk partitioning or re-sizing)
- Completely safe learning and experimentation with operating systems, as nothing that occurs within a Guest will affect the Host (e.g. the Host operating system can also be installed as a Guest in a virtual machine as a risk-free means of trying out new things), and
- An almost unlimited capacity to install as many additional operating systems as desired...provided space is available on your hard drive to store them!
Enabling Virtualisation
Before even thinking about installing Virtualbox, it is absolutely essential to first ensure that virtualisation has been enabled on your computer. Otherwise - if virtualisation has not been enabled - then assuming Virtualbox can even be run at all, its features and capabilities will be severely limited. For example, where Virtualbox has been installed on a 64-bit system, it will only be able to run 32-bit operating systems. As virtualisation is usually disabled by default, it will therefore be necessary to go into your computer's BIOS settings in order to activate it. Below is an example of enabling virtualisation for a HP G62 Laptop using an Intel chip-set (it may be a slightly different process for your own computer):
1. Reboot the computer
2. As it restarts, press the F10 key to enter into the BIOS Menu
3. Use the arrow keys to scroll across to the System Configuration tab
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Virtualisation Technology option
5. Press <enter>, select the Enabled option, and Press <enter> again
6. Use the arrow keys to scroll across to the Exit tab
7. Ensure that the Exit Saving Changes option is highlighted and press <enter>
Installing Virtualbox and its Extension Pack
Although a basic Virtualbox Installation may suffice for some users, it recommended to also download and install the optional Extension Pack for it. This provides several new features, including the ability to use USB devices such as data sticks and printers in virtual machine environments.
Install Virtualbox
To install Virtualbox, enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S virtualbox
Once complete, it will then be necessary to add the Virtualbox Module to your kernel. Rather like installing a driver, doing so will ensure that Virtualbox is able to run properly. To add the Virtualbox kernel module, enter the following command:
sudo modprobe vboxdrv
- Should a new kernel be installed at a later time, there will be no need to add the Virtualbox module again to it. This is because the Manjaro Hardware Detection tool for Kernels (mwhd-kernel) will automatically update new kernels with all existing modules being used during the installation process.
- However, should multiple kernels already be installed - and the intention is to use Virtualbox with them as well - then it will be necessary to add the Virtualbox module to them as well. To do so, simply select the desired kernel version at the boot screen and re-enter the modprobe command provided in the terminal.
Install the Extension Pack
This must be obtained directly from the Virtualbox Downloads Section of Oracle's website, as it is not available from the Manjaro repositories. Again, the Extension pack provides a number of additional and advanced features not otherwise available. Even if there is no immediate intention to use the features provided, it is still worthwhile installing in order to have a complete installation. Once at the downloads section of Oracle's website, to obtain the Virtualbox Extension Pack:
1. Scroll down towards the bottom of the page to find the Oracle VM Virtualbox Extension Pack section
2. Click on the appropriate link for the Virtualbox version installed to download the Extension Pack
3. After the Extension Pack has downloaded, start the Virtualbox application
4. Once Virtualbox has started, select File from the top menu, and then Preferences
5. Select the Extensions tab to view that section, and then click a icon called Add Package located on the far right
7. Locate the downloaded Extension Pack, ensure it is highlighted, and then click the Open button to begin the installation process
8. Confirm that you wish to install the Extension Pack, and then confirm that you agree to the license terms (it will at least be necessary to scroll down to the bottom of the terms to activate the I Agree button)
9. The Extension Pack should install within a few seconds, and a confirmation message appears.
The final step is to now add your personal user account to the vbox User Group. This is necessary in order to fully access the features provided by Virtualbox, including the ability to use USB devices in a Guest operating system.
Adding Your Account to the vbox User Group
The syntax of the command to add your user-name to the vbox user group is:
sudo gpasswd -a [username] vboxusers
As an example, the command listed below will add the personal user account named 'carl' to the vbox user group:
sudo gpasswd -a carl vboxusers
Now reboot your system for the change to take effect.
Advice, Tips, and Tricks
For those intending to use Virtualbox in Ubuntu or an Ubuntu-based distribution (e.g. Mint, Zorin, Kubuntu, etc), the author has provided a comprehensive YouTube Virtualbox video guide:
- Part 1: Virtualbox Introduction
- Part 2: BIOS Settings and Installation
- Part 3: Virtual Machine Setup and vbox User Group
- Part 4: ISO installation, Internet Connection, and Guest Additions
Existing Manjaro users may still find Part 3 of particular interest if they are unfamiliar with using virtualbox. However, please note that the Guest Additions section in the fourth video does not apply to Manjaro or any Arch-based distribution. In respect to Manjaro, this is because Guest Additions - special software designed to enhance and improve Virtualbox installations - will already have been pre-installed for you. More importantly, using the method shown to install Guest Additions in Manjaro (or any Arch-based distribution) will break the system permanently, rendering it unusable. Where necessary, the appropriate method to install Guest Additions has been provided below.
- Virtualbox can run installation files (ISOs) directly as virtual discs, so there is no need to burn them to an installation medium such as a disc or USB data stick.
- The process to install any Guest operating system - including Manjaro - is exactly the same as if actually installing for real on your compuer.
Guest Additions
Guest Additions are special software packages designed to improve the performance and usability of guest operating systems. They are installed within the Guest operating system itself, and most notably result in enhancing the display resolution, as well as enabling much better control over the mouse. As such, two tell-tale signs that Guest Additions have not been installed in a Guest are that the display will not scale to the size of the display window (i.e. it will be necessary to scroll around to see the whole screen), and the mouse may be quite hard to control.
Internet Connection
Some users have encountered problems when attempting to connect their virtual machine to the internet using the default Virtualbox settings. Where this is the case, try the following solution (covered in the fourth Virtualbox YouTube Tutorial from the 4:28 mark):
1. Click the Settings Button and then select the Network tab
2. Next to the Attached to heading is a button that states NAT. Click it to reveal a drop down menu and select Bridged Adaptor instead.
3. Next to the Name heading is a button whereby you may select how you are currently connected to the internet (e.g. Wlan means Wireless, and Eth0 means Ethernet). Select the appropriate connection type you are currently using.
4. Click the OK button to confirm.
- A virtualbox installation may not automatically detect when USB device has been connected. As such, it may therefore be necessary to click the USB icon located at the bottom of the Virtualbox window in order to select and activate it.
- It is possible to enable the (very useful) ability to copy and paste text between the Guest and Host systems. This is undertaken by clicking Settings button and then going to the General Section.
- Don't be afraid to take risks, to experiment, and to have fun with Guest operating systems. The worst that can happen is that they will have to be re-installed!

Welcome to the 40-Day Countdown to the 2011 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championships—the 40th year anniversary of American Motocross. Today, a big season in the history of the tour, with two new stars jumping into the 125 class, and one big one taking domination of the 250 class to a whole new level.
And remember, to learn more about the entire series, check out the new Facebook page here: and also www.allisports.com, the official webpage of the tour.

Absolutely, positively no one could touch Ricky Carmichael in 2002.

In 2002, the term "perfect season" had not even entered the motocross lexicon. There was simply no way that anyone could ever be expected to avoid bad starts, first-turn crashes, mechanical troubles, slips and falls in 24 motos on the roughest tracks in the business. So perhaps what makes Ricky Carmichael's 2002 AMA Motocross campaign so impressive is that for as impossible as it seemed at the time, Ricky didn't even make it look difficult.
He was never even threatened. Never had a scare. Never had a moto when he couldn't get into the lead until late. Ricky was so good in 2002 that he made something we had never seen before look routine. And also, he made good on his switch to Honda. Fans weren't exactly pumped on RC going to Honda, but it was hard to argue his reasoning—he was really, really good outdoors on the Kawasaki in 2001, but even better on the Honda in 2002.
James Stewart made one heck of a pro debut in 2002, winning the 125 National Championship with ease.

Not that Kawasaki was that bummed. They had a new factory recruit in James "Bubba" Stewart, and the much-hyped 16-year-old somehow managed to overshoot the mark on his expectations. Coming into the season, four riders were expected to run for the 125 crown. The 2001 battlers, Grant Langston and Mike Brown, were back, Stewart had joined the tour, as did Chad Reed. And Reed might have been the favorite. He finished second in the 250 class of the '01 GPs, had dominated the 125 East SX Series, and was armed with the potent YZ250F. With an expected power advantage, many saw the best rider on the best bike and thought of it as an unbeatable combo.
At the Glen Helen opener, James won the first national he ever entered via a smart ride, splitting moto wins with Brown. Then at a muddy Hangtown, he won again. At High Point things came undone when Bubba twisted his knee in practice and could barely get through the motos. Reed outdueled Brown for the first-moto win, and then Brown crashed out of moto two and twisted his knee, as well. Langston was also hurting, so at that point, it looked like all the pre-season hype for Reed was about to play out. But then he jacked up his shoulder at Southwick!
In his first year in the U.S., Chad Reed cleaned up in East SX and looked good early outdoors by taking High Point. He wasn't a match for Stewart, though, and amazingly enough, he wouldn't win another AMA Motocross until High Point in 2009!

Reed soldiered on through the day in pain (shades of Langston's ride there a year earlier). Stewart has ridiculous speed but his engine blew up. Taking advantage of all of this was Suzuki's Danny Smith, who won his first and only AMA National in an emotional day. Just a few days before the race, Smith's brother had died in a construction incident. Forget championship runs—wins don't get much more emotional than that.
Before long, Stewart had figured out the deal and began clipping off moto wins and overalls. At one point, Reed apparently said he could run with Stewart if he could get a better start, so Stewart took matters into his own hands at Unadilla. While leading the first moto (after a good start), Stewart suddenly started to slow down. He was actually going to let Reed catch up! A startled Reed then took the lead, and Stewart got back on the gas, passed him back and took off. You think a rivalry was beginning to brew between these two?
Before "believe the hype" we were believing this hype.
As it turned out, Stewart was even faster than expected outdoors, and he dominated the series by winning the last eight nationals in a row. The Reed/YZ250F combo never caught fire. Reed said he didn't think the 250F was an advantage, but then he never asked to try a YZ125, either.
Meanwhile the 2002 Motocross des Nations was mired in controversy. In a shocker, officials announced the event would take place in the U.S. at Southern California's Competition Park. The facility would move to a new location on Indian tribe lands and build a world-class track just for the event. But progress was either slow or non-existent, and as the race grew closer, anyone who checked the place out left scratching their heads. Finally an incident broke a few days before the race, one of the tribes men fired a gun, and the whole facility was shut down—and the des Nations cancelled. Team USA members Ricky Carmichael, Mike LaRocco and Mike Brown went home. Fans groaned, but a cool international race called the World Cup of Motocross took place at Glen Helen, just to give fans who had traveled halfway across the world something to see. The American team consisted of Tim Ferry, Kyle Lewis and Sean Hamblin, but they came up short against the Australian team of Chad Reed, Michael Byrne and Craig Anderson.
The actual des Nations were rescheduled back in Europe, but the US couldn't get a team and bikes overseas in such a short order. France railed to the victory in the race.
No surprise, injuries struck down what was supposed to be Travis Pastrana's outdoor debut season on a 250. What was a suprise was virtual unknown Sean Hamblin taking TP's bike and logging solid rides all summer.
