I've been enjoying this chocolate bar for many years but I've only just started to eat it more often than any other chocolate confectionary. The product is available to buy in single bars but I'm reviewing the 4 pack which I buy most regularly. I should also state that you can get varieties of this bar in peppermint and orange flavours but that my review is based on the original Chocolate Cream bar.
Fry's Chocolate Cream is now a Cadbury's product but the Fry's company was established way back in 1761. That's almost difficult to believe but it's written right there on my wrapper! The four pack of Fry's Chocolate Cream bars can be easily identified thanks to it's distinctive dark blue outer wrapper. The design of the packaging is deliberately old-fashioned to celebrate Fry's long heritage. I really like the design which shows a realistic looking picture of a segment of the chocolate bar. However, I think that the overall impression the wrapper gives you is that this is a chocolate bar for adults only.
Full ingredients are listed on the back of the wrapper. They include sugar,glucose, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, glycerol, vegetable fats, emulsifiers and flavourings. The product is marked as being not suitable for nut allergy sufferers or for anyone with a milk allergy. I have seen these listed as being "accidentally vegan" on some food forums but the bars are officially marked as being "suitable for vegetarians" due to the possibility of cross contamination with milk products during the manufacturing process.
An easy access nutritional guide is also printed on the back of the outer wrapper as well as on each individual bar although there does seem to be a discrepancy between the two charts. On the individual bar it states that one 49g bar provides 6.5g of fat whilst the outer wrapper states 6.5g. Each bar provides 205 calories.
If anyone reading this is new to this sweet I'll describe the bar. It's basically a soft sugar-flavoured runny fondant encased by dark chocolate. The bar has a curved top shape like a flattened tunnel. The edges of the bar tend to have thicker segments of chocolate than the top and bottom. The bar has faint indents where you can snap a piece off and it comes away into a square. Each square is printed with the Fry's logo.
The dark chocolate used in this sweet is very intense and cocoa rich. It has a nice hard and slightly powdery texture which is common to dark chocolate and yet it melts when in the mouth. I really love the way the flavours and textures of the bitter chocolate and the sweet, sugary white fondant interact. They almost seem like opposites at first and then as they melt they combine to create a delicious creamy blend which is so delicate, sweet and so chocolatey. It really satisfies my sweet tooth! The fondant has a squidgy texture that is very appealing and which gradually melts in the mouth. Lovely!
This is a chocolate bar that is easy to enjoy given the high quality of it's ingredients and chocolate. I would say that it could be enjoyed by everyone but there is something about the way the product looks and is formed that makes it seem like it is aimed at older confectionary lovers! I am certainly going to keep buying these as they are consistently satisfying and make for a great treat.
A four pack of these costs me around £1.70 although prices do vary according to where you find them. They are available at major supermarkets and newsagents.
You can find out about the Fry's range at the Cadbury's website:
I popped to Sainsburys after work today to stock up for the weekend. I decided I fancied a bit of chocolate, so I bought a 4 pack of Fry's Chocolate Cream. Why? Because they're pretty much the one chocolate that Mr Stacey doesn't like! When I lived on my own I could make a four pack of chocolate bars last 3/4 weeks as an occasional treat. With my beloved they're lucky if they last the night. I tend to go to bed before him, and in the morning the living room is full of chocolate and crisp wrappers! Anyway, in a selfish mood I decided to get the Chocolate Creams, therefore if I fancy a bit of chocolate next week I'm likely to still be able to have a nibble!
My 4 pack of Chocolate Creams cost £2.09, so works out about 52p a bar, a fairly average price for chocolate I feel. The bars are 49g each so fairly average as well. I'm not going to go through all the ingredients but they are suitable for vegetarians, may contain nuts and wheat and are not suitable for anybody with a milk allergy. The packaging is blue and swirly and looks quite sophisticated. The chocolate is foil packed to keep it fresh and is easily opened by ripping the top. Each individual bar has the ingredient/calorie information printed on it, which I really like.
The bar is long and thin, and has grooves in the chocolate where you're supposed to break it into blocks. However, the grooves are not very deep and I find if I break bits off they come off in all kinds of random angles! Each section has 'Fry's' printed on it. The chocolate is dark and tastes good quality, and throughout the centre is a sweet fondant. It's like the middle of a Cadbury's creme egg but less of it and in a thicker consistency.
Per 49g bar;
Energy 205 kcal (10% RDA)
Fat 6.4g (9% RDA)
Saturates 3.9% (20%)
Sugars 32.5g (36%)
Salt Trace
So not the healthiest - especially when it comes to sugar! But it's nice to have a treat every now and again :)
I know some people don't like these chocolate bars as they are quite sweet and some people find them too sickly. The texture is quite soft and sugary as well. If you like Cadbury's Creme Eggs you might get on with these!
Personally, I like these as an occasional treat. Overall, this is a nice chocolate bar with a contrast between the sweet fondant and the dark chocolate. I mostly like them because they're all mine! They also make peppermint and orange flavoured versions.
While sitting on the sofa this afternoon I had a craving for something sweet to go alongside my cup of tea, so peeling myself off the cushions and in to my kitchen I opened up my 'treat tub' and found sat on top of the packets of mints and chewy choccy bars a lone bar of Frys Chocolate Cream. I have no really recollection of buying this one as it's not a chocolate bar I would routinely choose to buy but here it is so I really ought to give it a try. This is the plain fondant version, there are also peppermint and orange versions avaliable.
Opening the wrapper the shiney surface of the dark chocolate peeks out appealingly, at this point there is little scent (though I have hayfever so my sense of smell is slightly impaired at this time of year). Breaking off a chunk the white cream fondant centre is revealed, again there is no real notable scent until you put it up close to the nose.
Putting this chunk in to my mouth there is a decidely sweet sensation but little taste, after it has had a little while to warm up in my mouth the flavour of the dark chocolate comes through but not strongly, getting slightly bored and feeling a little bit silly sitting on the sofa with a chunk of chocolate on my tongue - this kind of thing is why it's best I live alone- I decide it's time to chew.
The slightly feelin of resistance as you bite through the chocolate layer gives way to the smooth cream of the centre. The flavour at this point is strangely fresh though I couldn't quite put a name to the taste which is combining with the dark chocolate.
Swallowing there is no aftertaste but the fresh feeling continues in my mouth. In an attempt to put a name to this I take a mouthful of tea thinking my vast experience of eating confectionary products while drinking tea will help me but nope there is still no recognisable flavour other than the tea itself.
Eating the rest of the bar I think it's probably best to describe the flavour of this as simply dark chocolate, the fondant doesnt seem to have any apparently flavouring beyond the sugar used to make it.
Overall I while I didn't dislike the bar I do feel that the flavour is at best bland, but it does seem to make a good palate cleanser thanks to the freshness I felt after eating and lack of flavour interfering wth the taste of my tea at the same time.
In terms of the allergen information there are no nuts and though the bar itself does not contain milk it does note that due to the possibility of cross contamination they cannot claim that the product is dairy free. It is suitable for vegetarians.
A typical bar will cost around 75p. A bar is made up of 7 chunks, 205 calories and weighs approx 49g.
Though the product is called Frys it is actually manufactured by Cadbury and apparently was one of the first ever chocolate bars.
I hadn't had one of these chocolate bars for some years, probably when I was a child, when I came across them in my local newsagents and decided to see if they were are good as I remembered them.
Fry's first launched this chocolate bar in 1866 so it has been around for a long time! It was the first chocolate bar to be made on a factory scale so is quite important in chocolate production history.
**The Bar**
The bar comes in a blue and white foil wrapper with a picture of the chocolate at one end, broken to show the cream fondant centre.
The chocolate itself is about 12cm long and is divided into sections across the width by an indented line with the name Fry in the middle, so that it can be broken into pieces if that is the way you like to eat chocolate. Personally, I prefer to just bite into the end and keep munching, especially as the cream centre does tend to ooze out if the bar is broken.
**The Taste**
The chocolate is a rich dark chocolate and there is plenty of it surrounding the melt in your mouth fondant centre. I tried really hard to decide what the fondant tasted of but I am still not really sure except It is quite sweet and really delicious! The dark chocolate sets off the fondant cream perfectly. I probably wouldn't want to eat more than one of these bars at a time as it is quite rich but one is a nice treat and certainly puts the chocolate craving at rest for a while.
Each bar has 210 calories made up as follows:
chocolate (Sugar, Cocoa Mass, Cocoa Butter, Vegetable Fat, Emulsifiers (Soya Lecithin, E476)), Centre (54%) (Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Glycerol, Flavourings).
As you would expect there is quite a lot of fat per bar - 7g to be precise but who cares as long as we don't eat several a day!
**The Cost**
I paid 70 pence for my bar of Fry's Chocolate Cream but I have seen 4 bars for £2.09 in Tesco which is obviously a cheaper way to buy if you can resist eating them all at once.
**Other Flavours**
There is a Fry's Peppermint Cream which I haven't tried but think I would probably like and I think there is a Fry's Orange Cream but I haven't seen this in the shops recently.
**Did It Live Up To My Memories**
Absolutely! Sometimes when I have tried sweets from my childhood I have been disappointed but not this time, Fry's Chocolate Cream was exactly as I remembered it - gorgeous!
Product Description
From reading my previous review, on Fry's Peppermint Cream, you'll be aware of the treasure of Fry's chocolate I recently discovered in my garage. This also included an open case of Fry's Chocolate Cream
Just like the peppermint cream these are now in a foil wrapper rather than a grease proof paper. Clearly 'Sealed for Freshness'. The chocolate creams come in a blue wrapper instead of the peppermints green.
The bar itself is a dark chocolate with a white fondant centre, it is also shaped into 7 small sections. Naturally again you first taste the chocolate but very quickly you get a creamy fresh taste. I say fresh because there is no other way of describing this clear fondant flavour. These bars are also very luxurious, which means that you can only eat 1. Any more than that and they get very sickly, very quickly. However they are also quite filling, which is good as they are 210 calories for a 50g bar. Clearly the calorific value is less than that of the peppermint bar, so might be a lighter option for someone indulging, but counting calories.

Overall Opinion
Again this bar like the peppermint one is a lovely luxury bar ideal for indulging yourself after lunch or dinner. It is slightly less rich than the peppermint one, and is ideal for times when I just don't fancy that minty flavour.
I too will be buying these to ensure I have some, but again not a case load as that's too many to eat by the expiry date.
Fry's Chocolate Cream is one of my favourite ways to indulge my sweet tooth. I can't eat dairy so it can be a challenge to find a chocolate bar I can have, and this is one of the more readily available ones.
The bar was first made in 1866 making this nearly 150 years old. To have been successful for that long, they must be doing something right! The range also includes Fry's Peppermint Cream and Orange Cream. Some of you may remember the Five Centre (discontinued in 1992 unfortunately), Strawberry Cream and Pineapple Cream.
This comes packaged in a distinctive blue and white wrapper with a picture of the chocolate on the front. It's not the most exciting or eyecatching packaging, but this is probably a good thing. With the sugar content I'm not sure I'd want this to be too appealing to children. Incidentally, that sugar content is 35g per 210 calorie bar. This is definitely not a healthy option.
The bar itself has a white fondant centre covered in dark chocolate. It is partially divided (and by that I mean indentations for breaking, not the chocolate separating the filling into little compartments the way Cadburys bars do) into 7 segments each printed with "FRY". You can break the segments apart if you're careful, although I find it can be hard to get it on the line, and often I put my finger through the chocolate underneath the bar in the process.
The chocolate is glossy and dark. It varies in thickness from about 2-5mm depending on where around the bar you look. The taste is plain and slightly bitter which I think perfectly complements the sweet centre. The fondant is sticky, sugary and very sweet. It's a little sickly which might help some people eat this gradually, but I always seem to manage to scoff the lot despite this. It does really satisfy my sweet tooth so I'm not tempted to go and buy more chocolate after one of these.
One of these bars will set you back somewhere between 40p and 80p depending on the shop. The price seems to fluctuate wildly between newsagents so keep an eye out for the bargain ones. You can also get these in a multipack.
When on the hunt for something sweet, I browsed around the chocolate bar section for ages, really finding it hard to make a decision. I didn't want something heavy but I didn't want something I have all of the time so I looked again and then decided to pick up Fry's Chocolate Cream which I have always been curious to try but have never ever purchased. Being something different and new, I was more excited about it but then was also hoping that I liked it as I wasn't going back to get something else.
After further reading into this product I have found out that Fry's is a classic chocolate and is actually made under Cadbury's which I was unaware of until today. I think this falls under the Bournville brand and Frys also do the famous Turkish Delight which I also didn't know. Bournville was launched in 1908 and takes its name from its place of creation. Frys also do Picnic bars which I again didn't know about.
The Fry's Chocolate Cream, is in a thin rectangular shaped packet and has a blue through to white wrapper. On the front it has the product name written in sophisticated text with a metallic outline. There is also an image of the chocolate on the front but at the time I wasn't really looking at that. Out of all of the other chocolate bars on the shelf it did seem to stand out as it looks more expensive and has a classy look to it which is why I was curious. I don't know anything about Fry's as a brand and am not sure what else they make but I do know that they make these now.
These chocolate bars do look like they are going to be heavy even just by hearing the name Chocolate Cream. Per bar it is 205 calories (10.2%), 32.4g of sugar (36%), 6.5g of fat (9.2%), 3.9g of saturates (3.9g), 0g of salt and 0.6g of fibre. In brackets are the percentage equivalents of our daily guideline amount. This is based on a 49g bar even though the one I have is 50g but they won't be too far out. This chocolate is suitable for vegetarians and may contain traces of nut and milk chocolate. It also contains vegetable fats in addition to cocoa butter. Also for different dietary requirements the Cadbury website goes into more depth and states this is Colour Absent, Egg Absent, Peanut Absent, Salt Absent, Sulphite & Sesame Absent.
I am not the biggest of fans when it comes to dark chocolate but I do think this one is actually quite nice. Having never had one before this is nothing like I expected it to be, by the name I assumed the inside filling would be chocolate. The chocolate is not too strong for dark and has a creamy taste which is nice. The filling reminds me slightly of After Eights and even though it isn't meant to taste like mint is does seem to be overly sweet and sugary and has a sweet taste of something citrus like even though it shouldn't. It is a nice sugary fix but it is quite sickly at the same time. I think the name make me think it would be creamier but I don't think cream is really the right name for it. The filling reminds me of icing sugar and tastes a big like French Fancies.
I did think this was quite nice but I am not the biggest fan of the fondant centre as I am not really keen on things like that. I should have read the packet more but had to quickly grab a bar to make it over a certain amount to pay by card. The chocolate was a nice sweet fix but I think it was even a bit too sweet for me and I found it a bit sickly. If you like the other Creams in the Frys range you will love this or if you like dark chocolate or fondant fillings but for me I am not a fan of either of the two. I just wanted to know what this tasted like and now I know, I probably will not buy another.
If you, like me have never had one of these and your curiosity is still getting the better of you then you can buy these individually in most shops. I got mine in Spar and for a single 50g bar it cost me 69p which is cheaper than most of the others on the shelf. In Asda you can buy the multipack of these which consists of 4 bars coming to a weight of 196g which means there are 4 x 49g bars. This pack costs £1.50 which isn't too expensive if you think of the price of buying 4 individually, it gives you a saving of £1.26 so if you like these it is worth it.
Ingredients: Chocolate (Sugar, Cocoa mass, Cocoa butter, Vegetable fat, Emulsifiers (Soya lecithin, E476), Centre (54%) (Sugar, Glucose syrup, Glycerol, Flavourings).

After writing about the Fry's Chocolate Orange Cream, now it's the turn of the more simple and original one. Although the inside of this is a white Cream, by the name Chocolate Cream, I would have thought that the inside was Chocolate.
As far as I know these have been out for ages. They have never seemed to change, and are quite basic and perhaps simple, but they are nice enough and although I don't eat many of these, the odd 1 I have makes me think that these are pretty good.
These cost about 50p for the standard sized Chocolate Bar. Although these are easy enough to find in shops, they aren't as widely available as other Chocolate Bars out there. The wrapper is simple enough and not a big bulky thing. It is like it was made to fit, as it seems to stick to the Bar a bit. It is easy to open though, as you just peel it back.
The Chocolate in this Bar is a Plain Chocolate. I like Plain Chocolate, but the wife doesn't much. She thinks these are ok though. You can break the Bar into 5 good sized sections.
This is just an outer part of Plain Chocolate with a white fondant inside. There is a lot of Fondant in here, but not too much for the size of the Bar. It is quite thick, and I often eat this from the fridge as the fondant is thicker when cold. There isn't much taste to the Fondant, but it is just a sweet sugary taste.
Each Bar has 240 calories in it.
This is nice for what it is. The Fondant is quite sweet and the same kind of fondant that you would find in Crème Eggs but without the yellow bit.
Frys chocolate cream bars are a great chocolate bar that are becoming harder and harder to find nowadays. They are made by frys, under the brand name Cadburys which is at the top of the game for chocolate products so you know there going to do a good job.
The bar basically consists of six segments, like most chocolate bars, joined together. They are made up of really great tasting milk chocolate and in the middle they have a fantastic tasting soft mint centre.
The centre of the chocolate really makes this chocolate bar what it is. it's a peppermint soft centre which is really gooey in its consistency but this makes it fantastic fun to eat as well as taste nice.
I have always liked mint tasting chocolate products as I think the two different flavours really go hand in hand, and this ones no different. The chocolate really brings out the mint flavour over the top of it and whilst the mint isn't too strong it does take over the chocolate and make the whole experience very minty and fresh which I like.
These are great chocolate bars and ones that whenever I see I usually think about getting, as I don't seem to see these about much these days, however I can be assured that whenever I have one of these, with a nice cup of tea, I always really enjoy it.
I bought myself a Fry's chocolate cream because I haven't had one for agggges and last night sat down and really enjoyed the bar. It's quite a thin bar of chocolate and smells lovely and sweet when I first opened the wrapper, I can smell the yummy dark chocolate mostly but there's also a nice sweet smell that must be the fondant inside.
The bar is broken up into 6 pieces and I think it's a yummy bar. The chocolate is very good quality, it's only thin on the bar but there's just enough there for it to flavour the fondant with the bitter sweet taste of such a nice dark chocolate.
The fondant is very smooth and sweet, it starts melting quick in your mouth and then the sweetness turns into like an icing sort of texture and flavour. You can either peel the chocolate off it and eat it on its own or munch the 2 together like I do, it's better like that because if you suck a piece of the chocolate the fondant will soften up but the dark chocolate dissolves so smooth on my tongue that it feels like a proper luxury chocolate bar.
I love this chocolate bar, Frys do the same bar in orange or peppermint but this plain blue on is my absolute fave and I don't know why I don't eat it more often!
I paid 59p for this bar in the shop by me and I know that's dear but I really enjoyed my chocolate bar so the money was worth it.
My mum has told me tales of burying her Frys Chocolate Cream bar in the grounds of the convent she went to as a child in the forties, trying to make sure the nuns didn't find her secret stash! I think this is one of the oldest bars of chocolate around and it still looks much the same as it did years ago. It is, however (much like my mum's buried bar) not always easy to find.
The two Frys Chocolate Cream flavours that you are most likely to come across are the plain (dark blue wrapper)and the Peppermint Cream flavor (green wrapper) but I came across the elusive Orange Cream flavour in a small newsagents in Hartington. I promptly bought one and investigated. This review is about this particular flavour.
The wrapper is a foil, well sealed rectangle - orange on the front and white on the back. It has a picture of the product with a sliced orange behind. There is a little banner which says 'Sealed for Freshness'. It describes the product as 'Dark chocolate with fondant centre'.
Appearance of the Chocolate
The bar is divided into segments with the word FRY on each segment. The chocolate looks glossy and dark. I don't particularly find these segments easy to snap off unless the bar has been in the fridge.
Eating the Chocolate
Biting into the chocolate is a good bite. It is not a flimsy layer of chocolate, it is firm and quite substantial. Immediately you bite you become aware of the simultaneous flavours of the slightly bitter dark chocolate and the intensely sweet orange fondant centre. The sweetness is not overpowering however and the orange has a fresh citrus taste; it does not taste cheap or synthetic. I think it is a little like tasting a rather delightful fondant orange chocolate in a box of dark chocolates.
Sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, vegetable fat, emulsifiers, (E476)
Sugar, glucose syrup, glycerol, flavouring, citric acid, colour (E106e).
It contains 6.9g of fat per bar. This bar however, is very rich and eating all of it at one go is quite a feat. I can usually manage about three segments. At this point I feel the richness of the intense flavours are quite enough.
The really great thing about this bar is that it is vegan. It contains no animal derived ingredients and it is a bit special.
I also have a bit of a thing for Cadburys chocolate - and Frys Chocolate Cream is made by Cadburys.
To Conclude
I bought this bar on Sunday and I am desperately trying to make it last because it is a bit gorgeous. I wish I had bought several bars because this flavor is a rare and beautiful thing. I think I can safely say I like this chocolate and I rate it.
Why don't more shops sell this flavour?
*Nostalgia factor*
We had a very pleasant morning out today and decided to stop in at a little corner shop on the way back to Nunhead station for a small snack and some much needed bottles of water. It was a well stocked little place, with about two hundred varieties of chocolate, including a lot of old favourites, one of which was a Fry's Chocolate Cream. Feeling vaguely nostalgic, I picked one up to share with my girlfriend as she has never tried this particular bar before.
*Not as common as they once were?*
You really don't see these as much as you used to, where they would normally be sitting on the 'sweetie' display resplendent in their blue packaging (or green, if you were brave and went for peppermint). They now seem to be available solely in small dark corner shops that have an slightly elderly clientele and seem to be something of a relic of a bygone age, where it was ok to eat chocolate bars that didn't weigh half a pound and had adverts featuring Mr T.
Prices vary, although £0.50-0.60 seems to be the going rate these days.
*Looks smart*
The very distinctive packaging and the smaller, flatter bar with its lozenge shaped segments makes this product look quite smart. It's a good dark colour thanks to the Bournville chocolate and when you break off a segment the stark contrast with the pale white fondant inside is very interesting. Definitely a classy treat!
*A sickly snack for Sunday afternoon*
I almost gagged when I bit into the bar - were they always so overly sweet? The relatively muted chocolate was completely overpowered by the heady hit of the fondant, which had a decidedly minty character (no doubt provided by the unspecified 'flavourings' stated on the packet. The texture was slightly gritty, but this is perhaps unavoidable with a bar with a fondant centre?
My girlfriend could only manage two pieces and she's a girl who likes her chocolate.
While it wasn't horrible, it certainly isn't the sort of taste combination that would seem to suit the modern 'snacking palate' much and it would have been much more at home as a single chocolate in a Thornton's variety box. You know, the sort where there's always a few suspect looking soft centres left on Boxing Day.
*Not particularly nutritional, but you should survive the encounter*
Like all good sweet treats, a Fry's Chocolate Cream features a fair amount of fat and more refined sugars than you can shake a stick at. A bar will set you back 221 calories of your daily allowance - so maybe not one for the weight watchers out there?
All in all, ok for the nostalgia factor, but really not to my tastes.
Fry's Chocolate Cream is one of those choccy bars that was around when I was a little girl (many moons ago now!) so maybe that's one of the reasons it is still one of those special comforting tastes to me.
The combination of the fondant cream filling and the rich dark chocolate melts in your mouth in a very satisfying way. The taste is very indulgent, reminiscent of far more expensive chocolatier fondants that usually cost an arm and a leg. For about 40p, you can really have something that tastes far more special than the other chocolate bars. Even better buy is in Tesco's or Sainsbury's where you can get a 3 - pack for about £1.05 ... but can you really eat just one? Even putting them in the fridge, so's I could segment them and just suck on one piece (in the trying-to-lose-weight-game I thought this would help me cut down) I found I kept popping back in there for just one more!
Having said that, they are lower in fat (albeit high in sugar) than some other chocolate bars, so can be utilized as part of a lower fat diet. The taste definitely gives you a feeling of indulging yourself - something that could go well with a nice scented bubble bath and candlelight when you feel a need to pamper yourself.
When I was about ten, you could get one with five or six different sections including orange, strawberry, and pineapple. I have a vague memory of an almondy marzipan like one too. I know they do bring out special editions now and again, and that peppermint pops up occasionally too. I guess the original sells more steadily though, although I did used to enjoy the fruity one when I was little.
As someone else wrote in their review, we used to have fun with them, breaking each segment separately so that the flavours were each quite separate and distinct. And I remember rubbing the silver paper lining to get an imprint of the Fry's name underneath too. Many years ago. Just think, today's kids will never have those memories ...
Among chocolate bars this gets a 5/5 for taste, value, comfort factor. One of the best. Sad that Fry's are no more having been assimilated into Cadbury's somehow. They were one of the originals from Victorian times, and used to have Cocoa Powder as well. Ah, how time flies and things change. better get one quick, before they disappear altogether!
If anyone was born in the 60s reading this review then you might remember the Fry's Five Centre Cream bar which consisted of orange, lime, pineapple, vanilla and strawberry centres all in the same bar- it was heaven! -sadly no more. We are still left with the trio- Peppermint (like After Eights really), cream (this review), and the less available Orange. This afternoon I treated myself to a few squares from the cream version which I haven't had for a while.
I used to wonder why you could buy these in health food stores until my daughter told me they are vegan as they contain no milk at all. They are also dark chocolate and richly decadent so an adult pleasure indeed.
They are composed of five wonderful pieces and inside the dark chocolate is the creamy white fondant filling. The chocolate recipe has been in production since 1853 with only a slight variation in 1875, it is incredible. Fry's are sadly no more; although the bar is still labelled as such, but now made by Cadbury's who are carrying on the tradition.
This bar takes me right back to my childhood when I was too short to really scan the shelves of the local sweetshop with ease. I had a friend in those days when I lived in the midlands that had an aunt and uncle who owned a sweet shop. Every Sunday we would go and pick a treat from the wonderland of goodies on the counter. Often on tip toe I would peek at the sweets, and often pick a cream bar, so eating these today is a real trip down memory lane.
They haven't changed a bit. They are comfort food for sure. The chocolate is dark but not too bitter, the fondant has a vanilla creamy texture and melts in your mouth, so sweet it will certainly hunt out any sensitive teeth you have in no time.
I like them instead of a dessert as they compliment a cup of coffee really well. The chocolate is really rich and reminds me of Bourneville which is also a very old chocolate variety. As you bite into it the fondant oozes out slightly and you have to mop it up quickly with your tongue. The bar is slightly bevelled encasing the white snowy fondant in a chocolate blanket.
I prefer the end pieces as here the chocolate is thicker, but the middle pieces have the greatest concentration of filling.
It is not too bad on the calorie front either. If you eat the lot it is 210 calories, so not too bad, but I usually have half and then it's not too severe on the waistline.
Ingredients are :
Chocolate (sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, vegetable fat, emulsifiers (soya lecithin, E476)). Centre (sugar, glucose syrup, glycerol, flavourings).
If you are lactose intolerant you will be pleased to know this is one you can enjoy which is lovely, as so many of the chocolate treats on offer now are not free from milk.
The price of these varies enormously from £1 for 4 in Poundland to silly prices in corner shops when purchased singly, but sometimes you have to give into the urge and treat yourself whatever the cost!
These bars are a piece of history, mine anyway, and one I am proud to continue! It means my vegan daughter and I can share a treat together, and know it is free of animal products and is kind to them. I think these are good for your soul, they perk you up and give you a quiet moment. Quite a sensual delight for a few pence.
Now I thought this snippet of information regarding Fry's chocolate cream bar was amazing, the chocolate bar was first manufactured in 1866!
Well I know we are getting on a bit lol but I have been buying these lush chocolate bars for the Other Half for Donkeys years.
It appears that Fry's merged with Cadburys in 1919. I remember Fry's Five Boys chocolate bar and the other popular chocolate bar that was a sandwich of milk and dark chocolate.
So I suppose you could refer to Fry's chocolate cream as being timeless. The chocolate bar is classically dressed in a plastic wrapper that is in shaded blue. The packaging is definitely aimed toward the adult market, sophisticated dark blue wording with a gilt edged trim tells you that the Fry's Chocolate cream is inside of the wrapper. Smaller italic type wording tells you that the chocolate is dark with a fondant cream centre. To the right of the bar a couple of sections of the Fry's chocolate cream pose proudly and the words Sealed with freshness are directly underneath.
The bar is an unusual shape, a flat bottom with a bevelled top., it comprises of seven sections each with the makers name indented on the bar.
The dark shiny chocolate looks as if it could taste bitter, as you break a segment off of the bar it snaps away cleanly and easily.
The dark chocolate outer casing is fairly thick, considering the overall size of the bar and in the middle sits the delicious diamond white fondant cream.
Take a bite into one of the segments and take note of the slight bitterness of the dark chocolate. The sparkling fondant cream is extra sweet, so the two flavours compliment one another perfectly.
If I am eating A Fry's chocolate cream I like to eek it out by nibbling way at the edges of the bar and in general treat the bar as though I was carrying out a post mortem on it!
All too soon the seventh segment is sitting between your fingers and the realisation that the state of bliss that you have been in is fast slipping away!
Fry's Chocolate cream couldn't be described as a treat you would give to a child, the dark chocolate has very little sweetness but is not as bitter as it may appear. The only way I can describe the taste of the pearly white fondant is ultra sweet, any other flavour such as vanilla doesn't find its way to my taste buds.
The combination of the chocolate and the cream was very well thought out, the two go hand in hand.
A four pack costs about £1.60 in the leading supermarkets and I have to say that I would be reluctant to pay that amount for four bars. I have been to the discount store this morning and have bought four bars for £1. which has to be a good offer.
But bearing in mind the Other Half can demolish two bars within the space of tenminutes then it could be false economy!
Each bar contains a hefty 220 calories and is lodaed with carbohydrates and sugar.
I rather expect that some people with sensitive teeth or any tiny cavities would steer well clear from this type of chocolate bar because it has a funny habit of being able to invade every bit of your teeth and mouth.
But for me it is a winner.
Dark chocolate with foundant center. The Fry's Chocolate Cream bar is one of the oldest chocolate bars in the world, having been launched in 1866.

Limb Regeneration On The Horizon?
Some animals cite extraordinary regenerative powers, some regrowing entire limbs, while others such as us humans can regrow a lost fingertip including nail, nerves and bone at most. The process through which this occurs has been poorly understood since its discovery but now in a new paper published in the journal Nature the mechanism behind this process has been revealed. There is a population of stem cells in the nail bed which is rich with nerve endings and blood vessels in order to stimulate growth. These stem cells can grow and develop into any cell required, and have been found to be controlled by a set of proteins which have come to be known as the Wnt signaling network. This same network of signals plays a role in other regenerative processes such as hair and skin growth. Researchers found that when they blocked the Wnt pathway, the amputated fingertips did not grow back as usual; but more dramatically they found that they could extend this regenerative process to more than just the fingertip. These findings suggest that a therapy for regrowing limbs for amputees around the world could be coming out way, although there is still a lot of work to do.

excellent quality worked great good investment great price
I looked all over for a pot this size at a reasonable price. This one for the most amount of product at the best price. I am very satisfied with the purchase.
First time using a large outdoor deep fryer for our thanksgiving turkey dinner. It was a wonderful surprise for my husband . It took very little time to set up and use this pot. I can also use it for when We make our tomato sauce. I recommend this product highly
The pot was okay but parts were missing...just pot and lid...no accessories. Only reason I ordered is because it had the accessories that are really necessary to fry a turkey.

Review: Tylt Energi 2K Travel Charger
1 hour ago | Posted in:
Backup batteries and device chargers are objects that many users take for granted. They often only one dimensional, restoring the batteries of the devices that people use every day through the outlet. But what if there was more to a charger? Tylt decided to offer consumers something a little different, adding an internal battery to an everyday charger. The Tylt Energi 2K Travel Charger is the result, meshing a charger that can be thrown in a bag with one of the company's Energi external battery packs. Would the Energi 2K be good enough to replace the chargers included with smartphones, or would consumers be better off sticking with what they have? Find out in our review.

As "everyone" . . . um . . . "knows" the UN is weak, useless, and ineffectual. And, certainly, it looks that way if, like most American observers, you only harp on problems and failures while giving absolutely know consideration to the objective difficulties the organization faces. The UN Dispatch exists, in part, to counter that sort of remorseless spin and over there Mark Goldberg's pointing out that Kofi Annan's been completing some extremely successful diplomacy that's making the resolution of the Israel-Lebanon War look much more hopeful than I would have thought it reasonable to expect.

BATTLE CREEK (WKZO) -- Battle Creek Police responded to a call in the 600-block of Stephanie in Bedford Township Monday to find a man in his 30s who said he had been burnt with meth chemicals.
The man had allegedly been cooking meth, and a search of the residence turned up two one-pot meth labs in the basement. There were no apparent injuries on the man's body, but he was taken by ambulance to Bronson Battle Creek hospital for evaluation.
The case remains under investigation.

On Cooking French Clafoutis: The Original
I've made clafoutis, using the recipe from Larousse, many times. But this time, I decided to follow it to a T, including weighing the cherries, flour and sugar. So I bought a food scale, something I've been meaning to do for years, ever since college, when I bought the Larousse, actually. In the encyclopedia of classic cooking, measurements are given by weight, in grams. (So far, I'm digging my OXO Good Grips food scale.)
I weighed, I dusted, I sifted, mixed, buttered and poured. I even put regular sugar in the food processor to turn it into caster sugar. I learned something new: Powdered sugar has cornstarch in it and is not the same as caster sugar. This information had been at my fingertips, in my pantry for years, but I didn't know until I looked it up on the all-knowing internet. I did not pit any cherries. I was going for perfection. Did I achieve it? Probably not, but I am eating my third slice as I type. In defense of Larousse, my clafoutis was puffier a few minutes before I shot the photo. I missed its finest moment. (Or did I? This third helping is pretty darn delicious.)
Speaking of those cherry pits, they add a little bitter almond taste — a good thing — to the clafoutis. More than one source recommended soaking the cherries in amaretto, a bitter almond liqueur, if they were already pitted, or if you just can't stand the idea of pits in your pudding. I like them, because they force me to eat slower and really enjoy my sweets, like a real French woman.
How strict are you when you follow a recipe? My Larousse Gastronomique is my bible when I want to do it exactly right. Do you have one cookbook you always trust?

The New Basics. It's so 80s, I know, but all the recipes KILL if you follow them.
Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, definitely! I just finished Bob Spitz' biography about her, and with all the years she spent doing careful research and repetitious developments of recipes, I know I can always trust Julia! :)
So where is the recipe?
I like clafoutis best with rhubarb. :D Heresy, I know, but it's also fantastic with black plums, peaches, apricots, and raspberries. I never stick to the "classics" too closely. If we all did, there would never be any innovation in food!
Paste into Babel Fish for a translation ...
recette prise sur le larousse gastronomique de 19??,
équeuter 500g de cerises noires, les poudrer avec 50g de sucre et les laisser ainsi 30 mn au moins.Beurrezune tourtière, la garnir avec les cerises.Tamisez 125 g de farine, y ajouter 1 pincée de sel et 50g de sucre en poudre, puis 3 oeufsbattus en omelette et mélangez;ajoutez enfin 30dl de lait et bien mélanger à nouveau.Verser la préparation sur les cerises, enfournez la tourtière à 180 ° et laissez cuire de 35 à 40 mn.Laissez tiédir, puis poudrer de sucre glace.
pour un véritable clafoutis limousin ne pas dénoyauter les cerises
pour que ce soit parfait il faudrait que ce soit la saison des cerises...mais je suis désolée je ne connais pas cette recette avec une pate briochée, je suis creusoise j'ai toujours connu ce clafoutis fait comme ça .
If they were to do something like actually publish the recipe it wouldn't be the Kitchn anymore, now would it? If you're the right kind of person, you'll already know anyway, if you know what I mean. In the meantime, read up on pie boxes, polenta boards, hipster kitchens, and all the other cute (expensive) junk they flog.
I'll add another benefit of not pitting the cherries: in addition to the slight almond flavor, it makes this a snap to make!
We eat it whenever we've got cherries these days (it's actually relatively healthy, considering one doesn't drown it in syrup or cream) - in the past, when I pitted them, it was a special-occasion-only dish.
@moshee I love the New Basics! I also bought that in college and you are absolutely right about the recipes.
@mhays So true! It really is a snap to make if you don't pit the cherries. By the way, did you see Nealey's individual clafoutis recipe on Monday? Really simple and delicious, made with mixed berries: http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-mixed-berry-clafoutis-recipes-from-the-kitchn-191839
The French certainly do their desserts very, very well! And they always look great, too.
I stole my mom's New Basics when I moved into my latest home! If you want to cry, find the Splendid Table episode that aired right after Sheila Lukins passed away.
Andypucko? Franchement: I find every week usefull tips and recipes and ideas in this blog! A lot, even. If you dont like it, dont read it, it's that simple

Geek was sleeping when geek heard a deafening sound.
Geek got up and searched for the source. Did the sky fall down? Did the earth split into two?
Did the sun explode?
What was it?
It was EK THAPAD KI GOONJ!
The thapad was quite pheeki (thank God) ...and we were spared of the actual act...(mercifully!)...but the Goonj continued...QH forum had ERUPTED.
Geek is COOL!
Geek decided to 'inbhestigate'! (rememberiya?)
Geek decide to get to the CRUX of the matter.
How did this happen- not the goonj, (we don;'t really need a reason for it...we love making nouise for any thing and everything), but the SLAP!!
How did the slap happen?
Haaye, one moment kandhe pe sar rakh ke so rahi thi and NOW THIS!!!
It is a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY!
Mr. Or Mrs. Bond ko bulaaye kya?
Not reachable...Mr. Bond is in hospital and Mrs. Bond praying in the mosque, it seems. (Dunno...something must have happened to Mr. Bond, mebbe that's why she is praying!)
So Geek did what always gets GEEK the answer.
Sat and thought and thought and thought...
The mystery behind the slap- they FORGOT TO PLAY MITWAA IN THAT SCENE!!!
Dumbos... "Mitwaa...ishq pe zor nahi..."
If you doin't remind him, how will he remember not to use Zor on his ISHQ???
Iss mein Asad Ahmed Khan nirdosh hai, dosh dena hai toh uss music director ko de do, judge sahib.
He forgot to play it right then!!!
Disclaimer:Totally fun post.
My actual POV on the slap is here: http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3423071
Do read if you are interested in understanding the show.
He he..Agree the title was misleading.

|I'm a volunteer KDHX music writer and music lover in St. Louis.
Latest Playlist
Concert review: Cults (with Writer and Guards) come into their own, and then some, at the Firebird, Wednesday, August 3
Retro indie-pop band Cults has come a long way since its sparsely attended performance at the Luminary a year ago.
Last July, 21-year old sweethearts Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion hadn't even an EP under their belts before they made their St. Louis debut on a wing, a prayer and a dose of blog buzz surrounding three songs released via their Bandcamp page.
Only their third ever headlining gig at that point, the brief set had been fraught with technical difficulties. Despite the hiccups, Follin's talent shone through and indicated that this would be a band to watch in the coming year. Luckily, my intuition proved right as Cults defied all expectations at the Firebird on Wednesday.
When I arrived, the line to get in wrapped around the building, though doors had been open for some time. The first opening band could be heard beginning its set as we waited in the heat. Ticket-takers worked at breakneck pace to usher scores of fans inside. San Diego's Writer, consisting of fraternal duo Andy and James Ralph, warmed the crowd up with their particular brand of fuzzy, dirty and heartfelt indie rock. Writer lacked a bass player but relied on heavy employment of floor toms, the sound further supplemented by a couple tambourines and gratuitous distortion. The brothers wrapped up the set with an endearing duet and were met with enthusiastic applause from the crowd.
Next up was Guards, a band which shares DNA with Cults — both literally and musically. Lead vocalist and guitarist Richie Follin is the older brother of Madeline Follin, and until this spring had played in Cults. The crowd yelled and clapped as the band set up onstage, prompting Follin to clarify, "We're not Cults…they're up next." The confusion would be understandable, as Richie and his Omnichord-playing girlfriend, Caroline Polachek of Chairlift, bear striking resemblance to Madeline and Brian. The hollers still didn't cease — the crowd hadn't just come for Cults, but for the up-and-coming openers, as well.
Guards' soundcheck elicited a chuckle from me: One by one, each member sounded as if they were descending quickly into a deep well as the sound guys piled on the reverb. Due in part to the gratuitous use of this retro-pop trope, I had expected from them the same kind of blissed-out neu-wop (if you'll pardon the neologism) offered up by their recent EP, but the collective hastily proved to be capable of producing a much harder sound than their record. They bounced effortlessly between high-energy romps like "Wake The Dead" to the Viking Moses-esque "Long Time" and back again to the unexpectedly explosive cover of M.I.A.'s "Born Free."
Concert review: Cold Cave gets noisy but Austra steals the show at the Firebird, Monday, August 1
When I set out to cover one band only to have my heart stolen by the opening act, it's hard not to feel a certain measure of guilt. Alas, this is exactly the predicament in which I found myself Monday night as Austra captivated before Cold Cave's performance at the Firebird. Is this betrayal or discovery?
"Cult following" is a term I hear applied pretty loosely to the fans of underground or indie bands, but never has it been a more apt designation for the black-clad followers of Cold Cave. The crowd was of slightly non-standard composition for the Firebird on this night as women swelled the ranks of skulking, cross-armed boys to see the two synth-heavy, exceptionally danceable bands. The fashion-consciousness of the audience members seemed a degree higher than usual, and I'd even wager the Firebird held the highest hip haircut per capita of any bar, club or venue in the city Monday night.
Whoops and hollers sounded as Austra took the stage, its triad of female singers casually emerging a full minute after bassist Dorian Wolf and drummer Maya Postepski started in on "Darken Her Horse." Lead singer Katie Stelmanis was flanked by two gorgeous brunettes, her vocal accompaniment while on tour. A comparison to the three Sirens, those dangerously enchanting mythical women, was not a difficult one to make. Stelmanis' voice is undoubtedly that of a former opera singer: enormous, clear and finished with an effortless vibrato. The chanteuse combined Florence Welch's power, Kate Bush's flair for the dramatic and Fever Ray's idiosyncrasies to great affect throughout the set. The band's overall sound recalls the twitchily danceable electronic stylings of the Knife with the gothic air of Zola Jesus.
The show hit fever pitch with "Lose It," a crowd favorite off the band's recent debut album, "Feel It Break." Stelmanis stepped up her theatrics, thrusting her torso towards the crowd and moving her arms in the manner of a show magician attempting to levitate a body. Her backup singers conjure the fluttering operatics of Snow White as she sings into the wishing well, beckoning her prince (or in this case, seducing the audience). The whole of Austra's set was at once tethered to the low end by bass guitar and copiuous kick-drum dance-beats while Stelmanis' impeccable range soared high with shimmering synth accompaniment.
Following this tough act were the headliners, Cold Cave. Perhaps hitching their horse to last year's industrial, occult-tinged "witch house" fad as to the new wave legacy of New Order and others, this is a band that often allowed itself to retread and be subsumed by the sounds of dark predecessors as opposed to covering significant new ground.

Concert review: The sweetest punk mayhem with Fucked Up and Jeff the Brotherhood at the Firebird, Friday, July 1
anthemic (an-the-mik)
(of a song) like an anthem in being rousing or uplifting.
See also: F*cked Up at the Firebird on Friday, July 1, 2011.
F*cked Up and Jeff the Brotherhood could not have picked a better St. Louis venue than the Firebird for their show Friday night.
The venue is beloved by garage and punk acts — or any band on the wilder side of things — for being permissive about band antics. Garage-punk hooligans Black Lips, for instance, have deemed it one of their favorites for being able to get away with shenanigans they might not elsewhere, as the staff only intervenes if concertgoers are in true danger of being hurt.
Warming up the venue was Jeff the Brotherhood, a pair of real-life, basement-bred brothers who have been finally gaining some well-deserved notoriety since their recent release, We Are The Champions. Jake (on guitar and vocals) and Jamin have brought their brand of Nashville garage-psych to St. Louis about four times in the past two years, two of those times as a headliner. Though the crowd was tepid at first and unfamiliar with the music (most having come to see F*cked Up), it only took until the end of the aptly-titled "Shredder" to win them over. By the second song, heads were bopping and loud whoops of support signaled their success.
The screaming jet-plane effects of a flanger guitar pedal were persistent throughout the set, though perhaps utilized most gratuitously during the fast-paced, feel-good jam "I'm a Freak," during which Jake meandered into the crowd for a solo. All the while, little bro Jamin chugged along tirelessly and frenetically on drums, flapping his shaggy mop of hair all too reminiscent of Animal from The Muppet Show. The second half of the set was comprised mostly of new songs, carried primarily by a grungy, '90s vibe, perhaps most accurately described as the best of Weezer's snot-nosed pop hooks covered in a thick grime à la Kurt Cobain. Overall, Jeff's set was a roaring success, and much more powerful and energetic than its last lackluster appearance at the Gargoyle in the spring.
Never having seen F*cked Up in concert before (despite being regaled by tales of its highly-rated live shows), I was a little confused when the band took the stage to set up. I had been expecting the members of a hardcore band that plays shows with punk vets OFF! and the Descendents to look, I don't know, a little less clean-cut. Collared shirts, heads full of hair, and clean-shaven baby faces were soon mitigated by the emergence of frontman Damian Abraham, aka Pink Eyes, aka Father Damian. Bald, large and tattooed, his profile was more in line with what I'd been told to expect from the band.
Concert review: The Antlers and Little Scream win over the Firebird, Friday, June 10
In what proved to be a dark respite from the incessant sunshine of St. Louis summer, the Antlers delivered their brand of sepulchral pop to a packed house at the Firebird on Friday.
Since the band had been touring their new album Burst Apart for a month, their performance was not met with the lack of enthusiasm often proffered by crowds confronted with unfamiliar material. Burst had already proven itself as a more-than-worthy follow-up album to 2009's highly celebrated Hospice, and the rave reviews it has garnered from respected music blogs accounted for the huge turnout. Friday's performance revealed just how far the Antlers had come from leadman Pete Silberman's solo bedroom project, as it relied on a more interesting musical collaboration between band members than required by Hospice's essentially concept-dependent singer-songwriter material.
Indie newcomers Little Scream warmed up the crowd, which had already reached holding capacity by the time they'd taken the stage. Lead singer Laurel Sprenglemeyer carried the set with her relentless energy and a breathy warble reminiscent of both St. Vincent and Destroyer's Dan Bejar, though the overall performance was stylistically schizophrenic. The band ricocheted between the snarling and guitar-driven to the plaintive and spare at breakneck pace, pausing only briefly for glib stage banter. Endearingly, Sprenglemeyer honored Judy Garland's 89th birthday with a cover of "The Rainbow Connection," which incited a small-scale barroom sing-along. If the Firebird served beer in frosty mugs, all would have been held sloshing aloft.
The Antlers set the tone for a perfectly timed 90-minute set with "Parentheses," a selection emblematic of the OK Computer-era Radiohead influence pervasive in the band's new material. It was immediately apparent that Darby Cicci, encircled by about five keyboards, would be very busy shaping the electro-tinged atmosphere integral to nearly every track on Burst Apart. Next up was a druggy and meandering reworking of "Kettering," built slow on the foundation of Silberman's mournful, ethereal falsetto to a crashing climax courtesy of drummer Michael Lerner.
The soft, brooding "Hounds" and spacious encore-pick "Corsicana" bore the distinct post-rock influence of bands like Mogwai and Sigur Rós, but peacefully coexisted alongside more eclectic or uptempo experiments. The Freudian dream-diary jam of "Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out" shook the crowd from shoegazing revelry for a brief dance interlude before the band slowed "Bear" down to a tinkering lullaby. Dolorous doo-wop number "Putting The Dog To Sleep" was a fitting conclusion to the main set, and proved an unexpected personal favorite of the night.
Just as heart-rending as anything from Hospice, picks like "Rolled Together" and "No Widows" achieved an otherworldly quality, Silberman seemingly possessed by the spirit of Jeff Buckley. Perhaps more striking than the ever-present drones, loops and glitches was a newfound sultriness the band assumed when performing new material: indeed, the woeful moans coupled with Silberman's bedroom eyes created the impression of a man intent on seducing a roomful of people. If the raucous applause that followed the conclusion of the encore was any indication, he had succeeded.
Concert review: Here We Go Magic with We Are Warm and AroarA conjure up euphoric rock at the Firebird, Saturday, May 7
The oft-repeated theme of Here We Go Magic is one of creating something beautiful despite seemingly limited circumstances, Saturday's show at the Firebird being no exception. The fledgling Brooklyn band formed a mere two years ago when progenitor Luke Temple was invited to tour with Grizzly Bear, and have since garnered glowing praise from the likes of Thom Yorke and Sufjan Stevens for their outstanding live performances.
Due to the venue's unusually low stage, opening bands are usually subjected to what I've come to call the "Ring of Firebird," a strange phenomenon where the crowd refuses to stand beyond an imaginary line drawn about six feet from the platform. It can be painfully awkward to transgress this invisible boundary, but a brave few began to inch closer once We Are Warm were several songs deep in their set. The local indie rockers seemed to have drawn in a respectable crowd on their own merit, and I heard not an insignificant amount of attendees confessing to never having heard of the headliners before. In unusual form for any first-of-two-openers, We Are Warm were met with so much enthusiasm that they even played a one-song encore at the crowd's behest.
Next up was AroarA, a well-dressed Canadian duo consisting of Andrew Whiteman (of Broken Social Scene and Apostle of Hustle) and his wife, Ariel Engle. Though not lacking for ingenuity, Engle's brazenly beautiful voice combined with Whiteman's classical guitar was not enough to sustain the audience for more than a couple songs. The Ring of Firebird reasserted itself as patrons gradually slipped towards the bar. AroarA suffered most at the hands of their unwieldy, pre-recorded backing tracks, the presence of which transformed the set into a sort of avant-garde karaoke.
Here We Go Magic finally took to the stage at 11:11 p.m. The ensemble started out with "Hibernation," an energetic piece replete with flouncy bass and lush, layered backing vocals courtesy of bassist Jennifer Turner. As the band's usual keyboardist Kristina Lieberson is absent from the tour, Engle and Whiteman of AroarA joined onstage to help fill out the sound. Whiteman took to the keys beginning with "Surprise," but struggled to integrate himself into the band's effortless, tight energy. Despite the hiccup, "Collector" invigorated the crowd and set all to dancing with abandon, performers included. As drummer Peter Hale made little effort to conceal his delight at the newfound energy, Turner skipped across the stage for a twee harmony with Engle.
Following the first-ever live performance of the meandering "Hands in the Sky" came the incontrovertible crowd favorite of the night, "Only Pieces." The song started out with tranquil but steady drumbeat as guitarist Michael Bloch provided hushed and soothing vocals. Unlike the studio version, the song did not fade away here but rather continued to build to a percussive explosion, the bands' voices joined by a joyful chorus from the audience. There was not a still body in the house as a newly barefoot Turner bounced from foot to foot onstage.
Here We Go Magic certainly did not disappoint, despite Turner's admission after the show that the band's performances had been "hit or miss" as they toured without a keyboardist. Though the set lasted barely an hour due to a midnight curfew, not a soul could remain bitter in the wake of such euphoria.
Concert review: Tobacco gets weird and wild at Off Broadway, Friday, May 6
I will readily admit that I had my doubts about Friday night's show at Off Broadway. Tobacco — moog-minded frontman of Black Moth Super Rainbow, Tom Fec — immediately struck me as a poor fit for the Lemp Ave. mainstay, which tends to shy away from experimental or electronic artists in favor of Midwestern rock and acoustic acts catering to the 30-something set.
At first, the show seemed doomed to poor attendance (at least by Friday night standards): a small cluster of older patrons huddled by the bar, while a few high school students congregated by the water-cooler. A pair of be-Dockered dads — undoubtedly the begrudging chaperones of the giggling teenagers — peered down apprehensively from their seats in the balcony. Their relative calm belied their ignorance of what was to come.
When it was time for the opener to take the stage, things were looking up. Smokers filed in from the patio as Beans, of Anti-Pop Consortium fame, rapped in a rapid stream-of-consciousness style over tracks from his laptop. Though it was apparent the audience was unfamiliar with his music, the minimal-yet-bone-rattling beats paired with the rapper's unstoppable flow turned heads at the bar. Before long, the crowd was rapt and drawn from the bar to dance or nod along enthusiastically. The crooked cadence and spitfire rhymes even incited hollers and chants of "Beans!" at several points in the set, and an a capella encore of sorts was well-received.
The venue had become exponentially more crowded in the refractory time between performances, effectively disproving my theory that Off Broadway couldn't swing a weirder booking. A man donning a chicken suit joined the crowd, casually awaiting Tobacco's performance. Fec's personal setup — a laptop combined with a series of mysterious knobs and cables — was augmented by BMSR collaborators Maux Boyle on analogue synth and ski-mask-donning d.kyler on drums. However, the ensemble's fourth member the true show-stopper Friday night: a video projector at center stage.
Nearly eclipsing the acrid bass and abrasive beats that comprise Tobacco's signature sound were bizarre '80s videos (complete with heavy tape distortion) of ladies chewing bubblegum, campy zombie film clips, golf-course ninjas, Japanese poodle aerobics, and old women eating ice cream – all somehow complementing the harsh music Tobacco is known for. After a few songs, Fec strapped on a guitar and vocalized through a talkbox, signaling a shift in tone from campy, catchy retro-futurism to nigh-demonic mania. The mostly lighthearted video clips gave way suddenly to jarring strobe-lights, which in turn gave way to…pterodactyl porn? I think back anxiously to the unwitting fathers in the balcony.
The remainder of the set oscillated between more laid-back, Moog-heavy numbers (including an unexpected performance of "Twin of Myself," a BMSR favorite), the driving panic of songs like "Constellation Dirtbike Head" and the muddy psychosis embodied by "Sweatmother." Through this exercise in controlled sensory overload, Tobacco deftly avoided the monotony of mere on-stage knob-jockeying and laptop-hunching. The unexpected addition of live percussion lent the show a much-needed energy, though the warped video truly clinched the performance. Disgruntled dads aside, Tobacco's success Friday night provides hope that we'll be seeing more eccentric bookings in Off Broadway's future.

Growth in the demand for western lifestyle see's Toyota predicting a huge 33% increase in sales for the 2007.
China marketplace for Toyota Motor Corp
As with many other products, China is set to become a major player in the global automotive market, this emerging marketplace is the hunting ground for many household brand names which we i the west seem to take for granted. It is never the less sometimes difficult for us to think of a country of China's size being under developed yet it was not many years ago that this was true, however the change of attitude to embrace the business world particularly the entrepreneur spirit only associated normally with the west has completely changed the way that business see's China and its people.
Toyota Motor Corp obviously from Japan are one business's that are reaping the rewards of Chinas change of heart and are looking to a predicted 33 percent increase in car sales for the 2007 to 400,000 a figure that would have been laughable a few years ago, yet the company has plants building nine models along with research centres that are working on new hybrid technology and another working on safety.
The new Corolla roles off of the production line in the middle of 2007, clearly this will boost the Toyota sales, but it is quite an achievement for both the car company and the Chinese, this is most defiantly the way of the future and we can expect the Chinese marketplace to grow on a year by year basis.

Alison's January Cure: My First Week
January Cure Diaries
On Day 2 of the Cure I had this vague recollection we already had an outbox, and sure enough we did - in the bottom of our coat closet. Only problem was, it looked like this. I feel like there is just so, so much to be done around the house, this awful pile in the coat closet is just the beginning. How do I manage it all? And when I am also running after two toddlers?
I like to hit the ground running at the start of a new year, but sometimes I can run a little too fast and exhaust myself, and fall off the treadmill by week two. But I really want to make it through this whole month of the January Cure, not quit or fizzle out after a great start. I decided I needed to do this year's Cure smarter.
After Day 1 I was left with a list of long and complicated, and frankly overwhelming, tasks to complete around the house. I decided that to make this month's Cure work, the first key would be to go easy on the work load. I only let myself select either one or no "hard" jobs per room. No, I won't repaint the play kitchen, but I will clear out the walk in closet (a "hard" job that really needs to be done). No I won't go rug hunting for the study, but I will at least tidy up my desk.
Besides giving myself some easy jobs, I also decided this year I would go easy on myself. If, for whatever reason, it doesn't get done today, my rule is simple: no beating myself up, just catch up tomorrow! So far I have been pretty good about staying on top of each day's task, but being a Mom is unpredictable and I never know what crazy thing might come up in the next day or next week.
Thirdly, I am asking for help where I can. My husband installed the retractable clothesline above our shower/bath that I have been meaning to hang for three months. This means I can start working on hand washing and drying those tiny knitted baby sweaters that are sitting in a pile in my closet, helping me achieve my own "big" goal of cleaning the closet out.
Last of all, just like I would if my New Year's resolution was to lose weight, I am keeping track of my success. The biggest success from last week for me was the outbox. That poor outbox hadn't had anything go out of it in about 3 months! I bagged up all of my old clothes, baby clothes, toys, etc into bags marked with their destination - friends, charity, trash. Done! And I added more things from around the house. The outbox is working again at last!
How are you doing so far? Outboxing like mad or feeling overwhelmed? How are you going to make sure to finish the Cure strong?

it's refreshing to see someone with a serious clutter problem attacking the cure. and your easy/hard jobs approach seems manageable. good luck and i can't wait to see your progress!
This is exactly what the bottom of my coat closet looks like! My problem, however... is not clutter... there really isn't anything in that closet that we don't use often -- it's just that we live in an old house with crappy storage and that closet becomes the catch all. ugh.
CurlyVanessa - have you thought about putting some drawers or shelves in there, just to tidy all the clutter up? We did that in my son's closet - so much better to get items out of a drawer than out of a tangle of random stuff. Also, we found those behind the door shoe holders pretty useful for sorting out smaller things?


text: ZoomInfo ZoomInfo It's a nice cool morning out there - perfect for a swift three mile run. I still have some soreness from my run on Sunday. In particular, my left knee is letting me know that it would prefer to hang out on the couch. So I wasn't sure when I set out this morning whether I could try for some negative splits. As I ran, I felt the soreness working itself out, so I was able to let go a little and eventually was able to speed up. We have house guests this week. My niece and her daughter are here for the week. It's a business trip for my niece, but we will mix in some fun time while they're here.

By CHARLES ODUMAP Sports Writer
ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia Tech and Georgia are counting on large numbers of returning starters to lead turnarounds from disappointing 2011-12 seasons.
Each team opens practice on Friday.
Georgia Tech is the only Atlantic Coast Conference team to return all five starters. The Yellow Jackets were 11-20 in their first season under coach Brian Gregory, including a win at Georgia. Georgia Tech will open its new arena, McCamish Pavilion, after not having a true home court last season.
Georgia, which finished 15-17 last season, returns four starters. The Bulldogs' only departed starter is guard Gerald Robinson, the team's leading scorer. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was close behind Robinson in scoring as a freshman and is expected to be the team's top player this season.
Mark Fox is starting his fourth season as Georgia's coach.

Grammy Awards
All hail Queen Bey!
"Extra" was the only show invited inside the Grammys Deadline Photo Room, where Beyoncé posed after performing "Drunk in Love" with hubby Jay Z.
After the Grammys it was time to hit the party scene! Stars headed to celebrations all over town sponsored by big names like Warner Music and Universal, yet it was a house party that was making headlines on Monday.
Pharrell and his hat have been the talk of the town, and the Twitterverse, since he walked onstage at the 56th annual Grammy Awards Sunday night.
Where did this amazing big, brown, campy hat originate? Rumor has it that the rapper purchased the handmade felt 'Mountain Hat' from Vivienne Westwood's Worlds End Boutique in the UK a few years ago. The hat is reportedly available in various colors and goes for $157.
AJ also gave the celebs trivia questions from "Extra's" mystery bowl. Can Ozzy Osbourne name any of the members of One Direction?
Watch to find out!
Jamie Foxx told "Extra's" AJ Calloway, "Hopefully someone wraps their arms around that young guy because he's a talented kid."
Biebs' pal Ariana Grande commented, "I think people should lighten up on him. I mean he's so isolated and nobody understands what he goes through."
Katy Perry added, "He'll figure it out… or he won't. We'll see! Keep watching."
Bieber was spotted in Panama over the weekend, and Usher, who discovered the 19-year-old pop star in 2009, has reportedly flown in to be with his protégé. Bieber's manager Scooter Braun and childhood friend Ryan Butler were also there to lend support for a rumored intervention.
Check out all of our favorite moments from the 2014 Grammy Awards; from Beyoncé's sizzling opening number, to Pink's gravity-defying acrobatics!
See the pics!
"Extra's" AJ Calloway caught up with Cyndi Lauper on the red carpet at the 2014 Grammy Awards, where she shed light on what happened when good friend Sharon Osbourne confronted Jonah Hill's brother, manager Jordan Feldstein, at Clive Davis' pre-Grammys party Saturday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Delaware poised to become 11th marriage equality state as bill heads to governor
Inga Sarda-Sorensen
Director of Communications
(Office) 646.358.1463
(Cell) 202.641.5592
WASHINGTON, May 7 — The Delaware Senate today passed legislation granting same-sex couples the freedom to marry. The bill already cleared the House and now shifts to Gov. Jack Markell, who has vowed to sign it. Delaware is poised to join 10 other states plus the District of Columbia in legalizing the freedom to marry for same-sex couples. Just last week, Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee signed that state's marriage equality bill into law.
Statement by Rea Carey, Executive Director
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
"The momentum for the freedom to marry continues to roll on. We are thrilled for the loving, committed same-sex couples and families in Delaware who will soon be able to join in the celebration and responsibilities of marriage without having to cross state lines to Maryland. We offer a hearty congrats to them, to Equality Delaware and to everyone working so hard to secure marriage equality for all Delawareans. The transformative nature of people talking about their love and their lives is clear, as we see with this victory today, and in the fact that a clear and ever-growing majority of Americans supports marriage equality."

This conversation is closed.
Will it ever be possible to remove country borders and become citizens of earth? Why or why not?
Pretty straightforward. There are no nations or nationalities....we are all humans. Here to serve the greater good.
Closing Statement from Joshua Bowles
Well I can see that some folks are unable to envision a positive future without borders. To me it does not make much sense. Humans spending their whole lives being boxed up. Then the Pat guy was talking about these tyrannical leaders from history. Can you not see that this is just one person? How is it possible that the human race can be so naive to let one person enslave millions? That kind of thinking will never get any real progress in this world. Thanks for all of the comments. May the force be with you ;)
May 16 2013: I have heard the comment quite often and Yes I am negative about enslaving people, which is exactly what the OP is talking about doing.
He may not think so but that does not make it not so.
This talk is about that point:
May 16 2013: In history where ever there was a centralized government the individual gets crushed.
Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin, etc. got rid of anyone who did not want to get with the program.
This also happens in less severe ways but none the less crush the individual.
The individual is the source of all that is good
The centralized collective is what allows complacency at the expense of the individual.
May 15 2013: It's a noble idea, but the administrative side of it would be a huge nightmare. There are so many different cultures, religions, education levels, and ideologies on this earth that giving them all an equal voice in one huge government would be horrifically hard. There's also a lot of prejudices between nationalities that would be very hard to overcome. When you force different groups that historically hate each other into one nation, you get Rwanda. I don't think anybody wants to repeat that.
