![]() Not surprisingly, many would opt for this toaster pastry over actual smores, as the flavors melded together to create the perfect blend of marshmallow, chocolate, and better-than-graham-pastry. The products are enclosed in foil to keep the pastries from spoiling and can be snacked on with or without being heated up in a toaster. It was the best of both worlds without all the mess and is still one of the highest-ranking Pop-Tarts out there. The toaster pastries come in a variety of flavors with the originals being strawberry, blueberry and brown sugar cinnamon. The dough is rolled out and cut into shapes, then filled with fruit or other fillings. Pop tarts also contain eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. ![]() Pop Tarts are made by the Kellogg Company and are the company’s most popular brand in the United States.

Beckerman’s company, Trunk, secured 76 licenses, including Madonna and The Beatles, and expanded the market to high-end customers and department stores. In the late ’90s, Brad Beckerman, who worked with his father at the sports-licensing company Starter, noticed that most music merch came in the form of mass-marketed T-shirts and saw an opening. “The shirts are being worn by people of all ages.” Jeff Jampol, CEO of Jam Inc., which manages licenses for The Doors and the estates of Janis Joplin and others, adds that classic-rock merch has evolved from basic black T-shirts to a diverse fashion industry “largely driven by 10- to 20-year-old females and their moms.”ĬD Sales Are Up and Merch Tables May Be the Reason ![]() “That universe has expanded,” says Rhino president Mark Pinkus, who oversees the Dead account. Much of that revenue comes from traditional sales (T-shirts, hoodies and caps sold at concerts), and contemporary stars like Taylor Swift and BTS dominate the business. Universal Music Group, which owns merch giant Bravado, earned $618 million from product in 2022, according to financial reports - a 70.2% increase from $363 million the previous year. The band’s merch machine has also served as an exemplar of how an act can expand its brand into a multimillion-dollar business, raking in revenue years, and even decades, after the deaths of such core members as McKernan, Jerry Garcia and lyricist Robert Hunter.ĭead products are a sliver of the nearly $4.4 billion music merch licensing industry, as valued by trade organization Licensing International in 2022, an increase from $3.7 billion in 2019.

What Cherman calls the “holy trinity” of Dead logos - dancing bears, lightning bolts and skeletons - is on thousands of products. Since the Dead sold one of its earliest T-shirts in the late ’60s, featuring keyboardist Ron “Pigpen” McKernan and designed by Hell’s Angel Allan “Gut” Terk, its merchandise business has evolved into an international brand licensed to dozens of companies and sold in stores from Walmart to Saks Fifth Avenue.

Place it into the mold and gently flatten it until it fills the mold. Roll it into a uniform ball.ĭust the ball with flour. Place a ball of filling in the center and wrap the dough around it, bringing the edges of the dough up to cover the filling completely. Take a ball of dough and use your palm to pat it into a disk, about 3 inches in diameter. Lightly dust a working surface with flour. Cover it with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. Form it into a ball with your palms, adding a small amount of flour if the dough is sticky and hard to handle, and transfer to a plate. Then, use the scale to measure out 1.8 ounces of dough at a time. Form it into a ball with your palms and transfer to a plate. To assemble the mooncakes: Use a kitchen scale to measure out 2.6 ounces of filling at a time. (You can also transfer it to the fridge to chill.) Once it has cooled, the filling will become firmer and therefore easier to manage. Transfer the paste to a plate and let it cool for about 1 hour. The paste should feel thick and heavy, with the texture of peanut butter. Then pour in the rest of the oil, and stir until thoroughly combined, for about 9 minutes. To make the filling: In a saucepan over low heat, add the red bean paste and half of the peanut oil, and stir continuously for about 3 minutes. (It can rest anywhere from 1 hour to 24 hours, but I find 2 hours to yield the best results.) Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 2 hours. Add the sifted flour and knead until the flour is well incorporated and no streaks remain, about 3 minutes. To make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, add the golden syrup, peanut oil, and lye water, and mix well. In Chinese, we call this process “hui you,” which literally translates to “returning oil.” Red Bean Mooncakes RecipeĤ.4-ounce mooncake mold set (available online or in Chinese supermarkets)Ģ large baking trays, lined with parchment paperģ/4 cup golden syrup (available online honey is a great substitute)ġ teaspoon food-grade lye water (available in Chinese supermarkets)Ģ 1/2 pounds fine sweetened red bean paste (see Note) ![]() After two days, the crusts will become soft, chewy, and shiny, and the color will deepen. Spraying the mooncakes with water before they go into the oven also helps.ĭo not eat the mooncakes right away. Baked mooncakes need to be stored in an airtight container for two days before serving. To prevent cracking, always keep the dough and the unbaked mooncakes covered with plastic wrap. I used a pre-made sweet red bean paste for the filling, which saved me at least four hours of prep time, but the paste does not have any oil in it, and so I had to add some myself. The filling needs oil, in order for the skin to become soft and shiny. Lye water, meanwhile, gives them their golden color. You can change the proportion as you wish, as long as the total amount fits your mold.Įach ingredient serves a purpose. For instance, golden syrup is one of the main elements that makes the outside of the mooncakes soft, chewy, and shiny. The ratio of filling to dough is usually between 2:1 and 3:1. The mooncake mold I used is for 4.4-ounce mooncakes, so I measure out 2.6 ounces of filling and 1.8 ounces of dough for each mooncake. Luckily, that makes them perfect for sharing-ideally under the glow of a full moon. Mooncakes are typically enjoyed with tea, to cut through that richness, and a small wedge of one is usually more than enough to satisfy. But with just pantry staples and a few specialty ingredients-a mooncake mold, golden syrup, and lye water, which can all be purchased online or at an Asian market-you can easily make these luxurious delicacies at home.Ī word of warning: They’re incredibly rich and sweet. This time of year, pre-made mooncakes abound in Chinese bakeries and markets, often exquisitely packaged with high-end price tags to match. Common fillings include silky white lotus seed paste or sweet red bean paste, sometimes with a salted egg yolk (or two, if you’re lucky) nestled inside. Traditional mooncakes consist of a tender, golden-brown crust encasing a sweet, dense filling. In Chinese and other East Asian communities around the world, the holiday is a time for families to gather together, give thanks for the fall harvest and for each other, and feast. Mooncakes are traditionally gifted between families and friends, as their round shape-as well as that of the moon itself-is thought to symbolize reunion and togetherness. ![]() This capability is now available in Microsoft Edge.

Redemption Through the Blood of Jesus “We have redemption through His blood.” –Ephesians 1:7 (NKJV) The power of the blood of Jesus has provided everything you need to live a life of victory, including redemption, fellowship, healing, protection and authority over the devil. Let’s elevate the blood of Jesus to the same place in our hearts that it has in God’s heart-and awaken in our spirits those powerful things the blood has procured for us. “Of all the glorious things that the blood means, this is one of the most glorious: His blood is the sign, the measure, yes, the impartation of His love.” -Andrew Murray It is love, through the blood, that has created a barrier between you and all the works of the devil. That love covers every need man has had or ever will have, and every time we apply the blood, we experience an outpouring of this love. And the greatest expression of His love toward us is the blood of Jesus. The blood symbolizes cleansing and purification-the settling of a matter. The sacrifices of Abel, Noah and Isaac, and the Passover lamb, and the giving of the Law all came to pass, but “not without blood” (Hebrews 9:7, NKJV). ![]() But how many of us truly know how deep its power runs, and all that it has provided for us?

![]() Sometimes Windows will automatically run a scan during startup, but most often you'll have to do it yourself. You should also consider running it any time Windows has shut down abnormally - such as after a power loss or system crash. ![]() You may want to run chkdsk every few months as part of routine maintenance along with using a S.M.A.R.T. That may all sound very technical, but don't worry: you don't need to understand the ins and outs of how it works to know when you should run it. Chkdsk attempts to fix these problems by repairing soft bad sectors and marking hard bad sectors so they won't be used again. Bad sectors come in two forms: soft bad sectors, which can occur when data is written badly, and hard bad sectors, which can occur because of physical damage to the disk. Chkdsk can also optionally scan every sector on a disk volume looking for bad sectors.Such errors might include corrupt entries in a volume's master file table (MFT), bad security descriptors associated with files, or even misaligned time stamp or file size information about individual files. Chkdsk's basic function is to scan the integrity of the file system and file system metadata on a disk volume and fix any logical file system errors that it finds.Chkdsk performs a couple of functions, depending on how it's run: It's not a terribly exciting tool - and running it can take some time - but it can really help prevent bigger problems and loss of data in the long run. The Check Disk utility, also known as chkdsk (since that's the command you use to run it) scans through your entire hard drive to find and fix problems. Here's how to use the Chkdsk tool that comes with Windows 10, Windows 11, and other versions of Windows What Is CHKDSK, and What Does It Do?

Reiter said shipments and sales in California have the potential to make up one-third of the brewery’s overall business. The brewery averages nearly 900 shipments a month. “And that’s the whole point of the app too is to keep our relationship direct with our customers and be able to ship direct to them.” “I feel we’re pretty forward, ahead of the curve with shipping,” Reiter said. The brewery also partnered with DoorDash earlier this year, allowing it to expand delivery to consumers in Portland, Seattle and Sacramento within a 10-mile radius of any Great Notion taproom. Starting today (November 1), Great Notion added shipping throughout the state of California, with the creation of a fulfillment center in Sacramento. The brewery was previously shipping to Nevada, but had to halt operations when the state discontinued DTC alcohol shipping in July. The other 10% come from marketing events, Reiter said. About 90% of Great Notion’s sales are DTC, available in Oregon, Washington, New Hampshire, Vermont, Kentucky, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Nebraska, Virginia, Alaska and Washington, D.C.

Yesterday, she came in dead lame again and it seems the abscess has recurred - she’s tender in the same spot. CleanTrax is a deep penetrating hoof cleanser proven effective in eliminating even the toughest infections, often in just one application.Hoof infections are a serious matter.

Learn More Item is currently not available for Same Day Delivery. Finally! After 6 years of struggling with many many different remedies.My mare had a nasty abscess in her right hind 2 1/2 weeks ago that blew out of the crevice of her frog on Sept 17th. I have high hopes that we have this thing licked. I was to check the area every week and replace the copper sulfate and vinegar soaked cotton if needed. ![]() Then the person who was teaching me to trim my horses' hooves had a different suggestion: she said to drop the granules of copper sulfate into the cleared out area, then pack cotton soaked in vinegar into the open space. Finally, I seemed to be making real progress. My horse chiropractor recommended I buy copper sulfate at Home Depot, which is the stuff you put to clear drains, and mix it with vinegar, clean the area thoroughly, and spray the mixture 3 times a week. Just when I thought I had it under control, it would come back. I had two different farriers taking off part of the hoof and paid for shoes for 8 months. Poor hoof quality may allow bacteria to enter the deeper parts of the hoof. Horseshoe nails inside the white line (where the hoof wall meets the sole) may allow bacteria to enter. Nails, screws and glass may damage the hoof and leave behind bacteria. I tried everything, including CleanTrax and White Lightning. An abscess occurs when bacteria get trapped inside the hoof. I battled white line disease for six years with my mare. But I also have grown out hundreds of severe white line problems with no chemical treatment going on at all, so you tell me." On the other hand, I have seen diligent treatment be a part of countless successful rehabilitations and have customers who swear by each of the half-dozen different treatment programs I have experimented with. I can tell you for sure, though, that if you chemically treat the symptoms without dealing with the real problems, anti-fungal treatment will appear pretty ineffective. I am unsure at this time how much soaking contributes to my success with dealing with white line problems, but I do automatically start clients on a soaking regiment any time I start to feel like I am "wheel-spinning" with growing in well-connected walls/laminae. Do a 20 minute soak, 1-2 times per week - more detailed directions here.] Wait until soultion activates/turns yellow, then dilute with one gallon of water. Oxine AH Directions: Activate 4 ounces of Oxine AH with either 4 ounces of white vinegar or one teaspoon of citric acid. The gas emitted from the solutions is effective at disinfecting the foot without a need to soak above the hairline. For horses with sensitive skin, the Oxine, White Lightening and Clean trax can be used with just a small amount in the bottom of a plastic bag with the top of the bag taped tightly around the horse's leg at mid-cannon. Don't mix any of them stronger than the directions). Notable antifungal treatments that tend not to damage live tissue are activated and diluted Oxine AH,White Lightning, Clean Trax, and 30-minute 50/50 apple cider vinegar/water solutions (note: each of these can irritate the skin of isolated horses - start gradually and pay attention. Be sure that any treatment you use does not destroy live tissue at a cellular level - otherwise, you may be contributing to the problem by eating the lesions deeper and creating dead tissue for opportunistic pathogens to feed on. I guess I can't write an article on white line disease without the mention of anti-fungal (and anti-bacterial) treatments - they can be important. |
