These soft and chewy turtle cookies are the perfect combination of cookie and candy. With chewy caramel, crunchy pecans, and rich chocolate all layered on top of a soft sugar cookie, they get better with each bite
These cookies are one of my favorites to bring to a gathering or bring to a cookie exchange. They are always a hit! One bite and you’ll know why.
- Indulgent: These cookies have all the flavors and textures of your favorite turtle candies, but served on top of a soft sugar cookie instead!
- Easy: A basic sugar cookie dough is all it takes before you melt and layer on all the toppings. You don’t even have to chill the dough!
- Make ahead winner: These cookies stay soft for days and also freeze beautifully for an easy, but impressive dessert another time.
Grab a few items in the candy aisle and you’re on your way to turtle cookie heaven. For exact recipe amounts, scroll down to the recipe card.
- Salted Butter: If you use un-salted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon salt to the cookie batter.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar is best for this cookie dough, but you can use light brown sugar.
- Egg White: Skip the yolk!
- All-Purpose Flour
- Baking Powder
- Caramel Squares: I used Kraft caramel squares, but these are also delicious with soft and chewy caramels. If you want to go homemade, make a batch of my soft rum caramels, but don’t add the rum extract.
- Pecans: You will need both chopped pecans and whole pecans. You can try other nuts as well. See my variations below in the tips section.
- Chocolate Chips: I use semi-sweet, but milk or dark chocolate would be great as well.
These cookies look complicated, but are really simple to make. Just a few steps and you’ll be licking the spatula while they chill. For full recipe instructions, scroll to down the recipe card.
- Dough: Cream the butter and sugar together, then add the flour and baking powder.
- Form: Roll out the cookie dough and cut into circles. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake: Pop the cookies into the oven for about 8 minutes at 350°F.
- Caramel: Once you’ve unwrapped all the caramel, melt them in the microwave. When it’s drizzly, top your cooled cookies with caramel and a sprinkle of the chopped pecans.
- Chocolate: Once the caramel is slightly cooled, melt the chocolate and add a dot on top of the caramel. Immediately press a whole pecan into the top of the chocolate.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately, or transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely and store at room temperature for later!
Tips For Success
Here are a few tips and variations you can try:
- Prep: While your cookies bake, get your caramel ready by unwrapping the caramels. It’s a great task for kiddos to help with!
- Chill: Though you shouldn’t have any issues with spreading, you can refrigerate the dough up to 24 hours if you’d like.
- Rise: These cookies don’t rise much at all, so the thickness you roll out, is how thick they’ll stay.
- Go Slow: Melting chocolate and caramel may feel tricky. It’s best to melt over a double boiler or use a microwave on 50% power. Microwave in short bursts and stir well in between. This helps distribute the heat and prevents the candies from burning.
- Nuts: You can change up the pecans to walnuts, almonds, or even peanuts.
- Salted Caramel: You can even add a flake or two of large flaky sea salt for a salted caramel twist.
Once cooled, store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
- Counter: Store in an airtight container with a slice of white bread to keep them soft. Replace the piece of bread every few days or when it feels stale.
- Freezer: I recommend wrapping each individual cookie with plastic wrap to ensure they do not get freezer burn. Then place the cookies in an airtight container and freeze for up to six months. Be sure to defrost them fully at room temperature before biting into it!
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg white
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 36 caramel squares, unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 2 cups chocolate chips, milk, semi sweet, or dark
- 24 whole pecans
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside
- In a stand mixer, or hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in the egg white and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- Add in the flour and baking powder, mixing until well combined. This will create a soft dough.
- Lightly flour a counter top or large hard surface. Roll the dough out until 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. (Cookies will not rise while baking. However thick they are cut is how thick the finished cookie will be.)
- Use a 2-inch to 2.5-inch round cookie cutter to cut out circles. Transfer to prepared baking sheets, leaving a little room between each cookie for spreading.
- Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, on the middle rack, until edges are set and cookies are no longer glossy. (Cookies will not be browned and will set up as they cool.)
- Allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once cookies are cool, microwave the caramels and milk in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until smooth and creamy.
- Carefully spoon a few teaspoons of caramel onto the top of each cookie, spreading until it almost covers the cookie. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top of the caramel layer.
- Microwave the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until smooth and melted.
- Spread a small amount of chocolate onto the top of each cookie (over the caramel/pecan layer). Press a whole pecan into the top of the chocolate on top of each cookie.
- Let the chocolate layer cool and set up before serving.

Magnets are hidden everywhere here on earth — they're in cars, phones, computers, televisions — the list goes on. Not to mention the fact that earth is basically a giant magnet. For how ubiquitous they are, we at Short Wave realized we don't really think about how they work. Which is why today, NPR science correspondent Geoff Brumfiel is taking us "back to school" for an episode on magnetism.
Turns out, there's more to magnets than just those alphabetical ones you might've stuck on the fridge as a kid. Those are what is known as permanent magnets, but other types of magnets exist. For more on all different magnets and how magnetism works, Geoff talked with experts Carlos Villa and Tim Murphy of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. It's home to the largest and highest-powered magnet lab in the world.
This episode is part of our Back to School series, where we break down basic science concepts. If you're secretly hoping we cover a topic near and dear to your heart, spill the tea! We'd love to know and can be reached via email at [email protected].

Srinagar: The 270-km-long Srinagar-Jammu national highway, the only road connecting Kashmir valley with the rest of the country, was closed on Friday for maintenance, a traffic police official said.
However, the national highway, the only road which connects Union Territory (UT) of Ladakh with Kashmir, has been shut for winter months due to accumulation of snow which remained frozen due to sub zero temperature.
The historic 86-km-long Mughal road, linking the Shopian in south Kashmir with Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu region also remained closed due to accumulation of snow and slippery conditions. There is no possibility of reopening of the road before the end of winter months. The road which is seen as alternative to Srinagar-Jammu national highway was used for transportation of fresh fruit from Kashmir to other parts of the country.
Traffic police official told UNI that no traffic was allowed on the Srinagar-Jammu national highway to allow National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) and Border Roads Organisation (BRO) to undertake necessary maintenance and repair work.
The UT government in November last year had announced to close the highway on every Friday for maintenance and repair of the road after frequent disruption in traffic movement due to landslides and shooting stones. Suspension of traffic on the highway result in shortage of essentials in the Kashmir valley, leading to price rice of fresh vegetables and fruits.
The Srinagar-Leh national highway has been closed for winter months as accumulated snow on the road had frozen due to below minus 10 to 15 degree temperature, particular at Zojila, Zero point, India gate, Meenmarg and Drass, the second coldest place in the world after Siberia. To avoid traffic on the highway would be dangerous because of slippery conditions.
However, traffic from border town of Kargil to Leh on the highway will continue to ply subject weather conditions, he said.

It will be interesting to see who will be the captains, too, since LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers, an Eastern Conference team, to play for the Los Angeles Lakers, a Western Conference team. People loved to see LeBron James and Stephen Curry pick who they wanted to play with.
The NBA's new format for the All-Star Game is sticking around after a successful debut last season, and this time, it should get even better.
In a playground-style draft, there will be two captains who will select their squads for the 2019 NBA All-Star Game, which will be held in Charlotte.
"We're All-Stars. Let's have a draft.' So it sounds like we're going to have a televised draft next year". "You got 24 of the best players in the world that's going to make the team".
Whitaker appointment brings praise and protest in Iowa At a news conference on Wednesday, the president threatened political warfare if Democrats exercise their new oversight power. Demonstrators gathered outside the USA consulate in Vancouver on Thursday in support of special counsel Robert Mueller .
After the teams were announced, LeBron, Steph and others around the league said they hoped the league would televise the draft in 2019.
This should have been televised past year, but better than late than never.
It was hard to imagine the National Basketball Association going back to the East-West layout, especially when LeBron James took his talents to Los Angeles. "It's All-Star Weekend", James told reporters before Wednesday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves when asked if broadcasting the captains' choices would be a good thing.
Team LeBron defeated Team Stephen in last year's game by a score of 148-145.
With James now in the West, there's no shot for he and Curry to both be captains again.

Saturday, March 18, 2006 | A study released Friday says about half of air passengers traveling between San Diego and a proposed Imperial County airport would use a magnetic levitation train.
Each day, almost 50,000 people would be whisked along an approximately 90-mile long high-speed train route between the two sites, according to the study by the San Diego Association of Governments.
If the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority selects an Imperial Desert site for a new airport, and if voters approve it, an expensive maglev train would be a key part of the proposal.
But until now, the authority hasn’t known how many people would ride the train. That question was answered Friday, but the answer’s implications are still unclear. Angela Shafer-Payne, the authority’s vice president of strategic planning, said the ridership figure was the most important piece of
The study was clearly still being absorbed Friday. Shafer-Payne said it would take until April for ridership figures to be extrapolated to show how many local residents could arrive in the desert in 50 minutes; how many in 75 minutes and so on. The airport’s initial estimate showed a majority of travelers would get to the airport in 75 minutes – but they had assumed only 25 percent would use the train.
Travel time will be a vital part of evaluating the Imperial Valley site, authority board member Paul Nieto said. As travel time increases, the number of passengers willing to use a desert airport drops. Orange County and Long Beach airports then become more appealing options, Nieto said.
“Can we get people to spend an extra hour in travel time and be charged more and use the service as much as they do now – and can our airlines make money at that?” Nieto wondered.
It is a lofty idea. Only one other maglev train exists, on a 19-mile stretch in Shanghai. An earlier estimate by the authority projected a maglev train to cost between $8 billion and $10 billion.
But the study projected much higher costs, ranging between $15 billion and $18.5 billion, with one route as high as $25 billion. By comparison, Denver built a new five-runway airport in 1995 for $5 billion. At that rate, you could buy five airports and 25 runways for the price of one maglev.
U.S. Rep. Bob Filner, D-Chula Vista, who secured $800,000 in federal funding for the study, was enthusiastic about the results.
“I think the estimates are way too high, but that’s not the issue at this point,” Filner said. “The issue is whether it’s technically and financially viable – and it is.”
Filner, whose district includes Chula Vista and all of Imperial County, has been a vocal supporter of putting an airport there, saying it is the only proposed site where residents actual support an airport in their backyard.
“I don’t think [authority members] have another choice,” Filner said. “They need to seriously look at this and figure out how to make it work.”
The study details five proposed routes for the train, including three stations in San Diego: Miramar, Qualcomm Stadium and the Santa Fe Depot downtown. Two proposed routes would follow the Interstate 8 corridor, another would follow Highway 94. A fourth would use a deep tunnel system to run in a straight line from San Diego to the airport. A fifth would follow the San Diego & Arizona Eastern railway corridor and dip into Mexico for 28.5 miles.
Environmental impacts could be a major hurdle. Mitigation costs range between $23 million and $1.1 billion, depending on the route.
The study identifies a range of funding sources, but doesn’t delve into just how the multi-billion project would impact taxpayers. It does suggest benefits of using some type of private funding for the project.
SANDAG will address the study at a Tuesday briefing.

Despite Nigeria’s Laws, LGBTQ Acceptance Is On The Rise
ABUJA (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – A tentative, growing acceptance of gay men and women in Nigeria offers a seed of hope, human rights campaigners said on Wednesday, in a country where the outlawing of gay sex is supported by nine in ten people, according to a new report.
A 2017 survey by NOI Polls compared attitudes towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in Nigeria against a 2015 poll.
It found a 7 percent increase in acceptance of LGBT people, and a 9 percent rise to 39 percent of those surveyed who think that LGBT people should be allowed equal access to public services such as healthcare, education and housing.
“These changes might look small, but let us acknowledge the progress,” said Olumide Makanjuola, executive director of The Initiative for Equal Rights (TIERS), a charity working to protect the rights of sexual minorities in Nigeria, which commissioned the survey.
“The fact that there is a small differential is important to acknowledge. Nigeria is not an easy place to have such conversations.”
However, the poll showed a 4 percent increase to 90 percent of Nigerians who support the criminalisation of same-sex relationships, and no change in the proportion of Nigerians who believe that the country would be a better place with no LGBT people, also 90 percent.
Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan signed a bill in 2014 criminalising same-sex relationships in Nigeria, despite pressure from Western governments to preserve the rights of gay, lesbian and bisexual people.
The Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act (SSMPA) bans gay marriage, same-sex “amorous relationships” and membership of gay rights groups with penalties of up to 14 years in prison.
Last week, 54 people went on trial on charges connected to allegations that they were celebrating a gay wedding.
Acts of gay sex are illegal in 32 countries across Africa and persecution of gay people […]

Héroux-Devtek Inc., the specialty manufacturer of aerospace landing gears, earned a new multi-year contract to manufacture torque tubes for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The assignment represents new business for Héroux-Devtek, with production starting in 2015 at the company’s plant in Laval, Quebec.
The value of and length of the new work assignment were not indicated.
Héroux-Devtek specializes in design, manufacturing, and repair and overhaul of landing gear and aerospace actuation systems and components. It is among the world’s largest producers of landing gear to commercial and military aircraft OEMs, as well as aftermarket products and service. It also manufactures electronic enclosures, heat exchangers, and cabinets for suppliers of airborne radar, electro-optic systems, and aircraft controls.
Boeing reportedly has a record volume of orders for new plane construction, with output rates increasing at assembly plants in Washington and South Carolina. Production of the 787, for example, will increase from 10 per month currently to 12 per month in 2016.
Torque tubes are used in various ways, including driveline technology and landing gear systems, to lift system parts vertically while minimizing part weight and torque reaction, to increase system productivity.
“This important multi-year contract further strengthens our business relationship with Boeing and provides Héroux-Devtek with additional content on a growing program,” stated Gilles Labbé, president and CEO of Héroux-Devtek.
He continued: “We have been manufacturing torque tubes for the Boeing 777 and the Boeing 737 for many years and this new contract for the 787 reaffirms our status as an important supplier of quality products and services to original equipment manufacturers.”

PARIS: The European Union’s securities watchdog fined Fitch Rating agency 1.38 million euros ($1.52 million) on Thursday (Friday in Manila) for breaking the bloc’s credit ratings regulations.
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) said that senior analysts at Fitch has passed on information to senior figures at a parent company before the information was public.
The ratings agency also did not give Slovenia the minimum 12 hours to respond to a sovereign rating downgrade before announcing the move.
“ESMA found certain senior analysts in Fitch transmitted information about upcoming rating actions on sovereign ratings to certain senior persons in a parent company of Fitch before it was made public,” ESMA said in a statement.
“Further, ESMA found that Fitch failed to have proper internal controls in place to ensure it provided a rated entity with the minimum time period to consider and respond to a rating action before making it public.”
ESMA said that information about the ratings downgrades of Greece, France, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain in 2012 had been shared with people working for a Fitch parent company before the public announcement.
In January 2012 the agency gave Slovenia just a three hour advance warning before announcing its downgrade, ESMA said.
According to ESMA’s statement Fitch has made changes to ensure such breaches do not happen again, and it said this had been taken into account when deciding on the amount to fine the agency.

HELENA – Today, the Associated Press reported that Attorney General Tim Fox was being recruited by the DC Republican establishment as their backup choice to run for Senate in 2018.
The article contains a few eyebrow-raising facts, including that Fox met with embattled Attorney General Jeff Sessions, President Trump, and others. This trip and these meetings raise a number of questions that Montanans deserve answers to:
- Was the trip paid for using Montana taxpayer funds?
- Did he meet with Mitch McConnell, or other establishment Republicans like the National Republican Senatorial Committee?
- Does Montana’s chief lawyer think it’s acceptable for Attorney General Sessions to lie under oath to Congress and the American people about his secret meetings with the Russians?
- Did Fox express any concern to President Trump about how his replacement health care plan would make Montanans and seniors pay more money for less care and reduce the number of insured Americans while lowering taxes for the rich?
“Instead of doing his job in Montana, Attorney General Fox admits he has been busy being courted by establishment Republicans in DC,” said Montana Democratic Party Executive Director Nancy Keenan. “Montanans need to know what Fox did on his trip to DC, who he met with and why, and whether these meetings took place at the taxpayer’s expense.”

In an interview with Al Arabiya, Paul Zogby, Regional Director for the Middle East at KITOPI, attributed SoftBank’s Vision Two Fund’s interest in participating in the startup’s latest funding round to 3 reasons, namely the innovative idea that brought about a radical change, the distinguished work team, and the ability to Providing solutions in the virtual kitchen sector.
Zogby said the Dubai-based virtual kitchen startup raised $415 million in a funding round that included SoftBank’s Vision Two Fund, the first company in the UAE to be funded by the fund.
The CEO stated that the company has the necessary liquidity to meet the significant growth in its business in the Middle East and to expand abroad.
And everyone joined CHIMERA Fund, Turkish group Dogus and US company Next Play Capital.
Zogby stated that Kitubi will use the proceeds from the funding round to expand by making its branch in Saudi Arabia as its headquarters in the Middle East, while maintaining its branch in Dubai as a regional center.
Zogby considered that the Saudi market, which is the largest in the region, will be the focus of the “Ketobi” company, and thus the company will make the Kingdom its main headquarters for the Middle East.
He added that “Ketopi” will invest $200 million of the company’s capital in the Saudi market, and we have more than 15 kitchens in the Kingdom, and the expansion will be in all regions of the Kingdom in the future.
He pointed to a number of important numbers achieved by “Kitubi”, including achieving a growth of more than 300% in 2020, and the presence of a team of 2,500 people working on partnerships with restaurants around the world under the partnerships that operate restaurants and work with delivery applications to serve customers in many regions.
He said Kitopi operates 60 kitchens in 4 countries while working with more than 200 brands.

We’re talking all things Marvel this week about the latest release from the franchise:ANT-MAN! During the ANT-MAN family series, we’ll be sharing some awesome interviews, set visits, behind the scenes, and information about the movie each day. Find out if you should take your family to go see it, in theaters July 17th!
ANT-MAN Family Series, Part 3: Judy Greer talks playing Lang’s ex-wife
Continuing our family series of Marvel’s ANT-MAN movie, we got to speak with actor Judy Greer. Her character Maggie, Scott Lang’s (ANT-MAN) ex-wife and the mother of his child, tends to struggle with the fact that Lang wants a second chance at being a great father to his daughter. Marvel is really putting in effort to add the family element to their films, and I LOVE IT! Greer says she doesn’t have any super hero parts, but as a mother, she’s a super hero to me!
Here’s what we learned about ANT-MAN in an interview with Judy Greer…
Greer’s involvement with the project – She says that she auditioned the old fashion way to get the role as ‘Maggie’, Lang’s ex-wife. Afterwards, she got the part in 24 hours, which is rare for a film like this. When she auditioned, Greer says, “I wasn’t allowed to read the script ahead of time. But I knew the movie and like Paul.” Also, she said “I was really excited to work with Peyton [director] because he’s I think really funny. And I think what some of these super hero movies lack is like a genuine sense of comedy in them.”
Scott Lang and Maggie’s relationship in the movie – Although divorced, they have a decent, friendly relationship and Maggie really wants Scott to be involved in their daughter’s life. “Scott Lang’s character is extremely intelligent and able to do kind of like cyber law breaking.” When she got pregnant, she asked Lang to stop, but he didn’t. He ended up getting arrested, went to jail, and they got divorced in the process. Now that he’s back in society, Maggie is afraid that Scott’s criminal activities will bring their daughter in harms way. Nothing like a mother’s love!
Greer sees similarities between herself and her character – When it comes to acting, Greer says that it’s easier to play a version of herself, so she tries to be this cool, compassionate and strong person that’s sort of a positive influence on her ex-husband. She remembers “a really cool scene where I confront Scott about having to shape up in order to see his daughter Cassie.” She knows that Lang is not a bad person per se, but just that he’d gotten into some trouble. She wanted to portray her character as the stronger, helpful type.
Judy Greer has enjoyed making her first Marvel film, she had fun and says that “everyone is so nice and cool.” We actually heard them joking around a bit in between takes, lots of laughter and poking fun at each other makes for a fun work day! Greer says that even after super long filming days, every one is so beat but the team stays after and hangs out. Catch Judy Greer as ‘Maggie’ in ANT-MAN, coming soon to theaters!
The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man.” Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Doctor Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.
Marvel’s ANT-MAN is out in theaters July 17!

October 7, 2020 (Note: this article was originally published on January 26, 2019 – Edward’s birthday.) In tribute to Edward, we are re-releasing it. Look for a new article regarding Edward and his legacy in the next few days)
How many musicians have literally changed the way people thought about and played music? Some examples might be Bach and Beethoven in Classical music, Thelonious Monk or Miles Davis in the Jazz world and Les Paul and Jimi Hendrix in more contemporary music. Paul was a guitarist who is thought to have made the first solid body electric guitar back in the Thirties. A tremendous innovator; he also pioneered, designed and collaborated on many recording devices and techniques that became the standard of recording engineers even today. Hendrix stood the world up on its ear when he burst onto the scene in 1967 and changed the way people played and approached the guitar. In that same train of thought, I don’t think you could have a discussion of game changers in music without adding Edward Van Halen to that elite group.
In the late seventies, the modern music scene was somewhat fragmented. Punk had shaken up Rock in the mid-70s, Disco was prevalent, New Wave was making a presence in Rock with bands like Elvis Costello and the Attractions, The Knack, and Blondie. If you were a straight-ahead Rock fan it seemed like the tide was turning against you and you were left with the super-groups of the early to mid 70s – Led Zeppelin, Kiss, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath and Ted Nugent, to name a few. One of the great debates among the group of friends I had at the time was who the best guitarist was in Rock. The argument could get heated, mind you – we almost came to blows whenever this subject arose for reasons that seem silly now. You had the diehard Led Zeppelin fans who swore they would go to their grave believing Jimmy Page was the greatest guitarist ever while others said Hendrix. One friend of mine, a Kiss fan, loved Ace Frehley. I personally liked UFO’s Michael Schenker and the twin guitar attack of Thin Lizzy. Others in contention were Aerosmith’s Joe Perry, Nugent and just about any guitarist who played in a largely popular Rock band. Just about all of these players were from the “reverse” British Invasion: that is, mostly American Rock guitarists who grew up listening to bands like Cream, The Who, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Jeff Beck Group, to name a few. The guitarists in these bands – Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and especially Hendrix were seen as “guitar gods” and their influence among players was huge. Little did the Americans realize at the time that these British players were influenced by American Blues players from the fifties such as Chuck Berry, Albert King, BB King, Howlin’ Wolf and Albert Collins, to name a few. While the American Hard Rock bands of the seventies were making it big, the guitarists really weren’t breaking any new ground; that is until 1978.
In 1978 a band from California was signed with little fanfare. Record labels signed bands all of the time that they thought they could get more than a few record sales out of. This band – Van Halen, was signed to Warner Brothers Records after producer Ted Templeman had seen them play one night at a local club in L.A. Later, he explained that the only reason he signed them was because the guitarist – Edward Van Halen, was playing his guitar in a manner he had never heard before and knew he had to sign him. The band recorded their debut album – “Van Halen” in less than two weeks. The first single was released – a cover of The Kinks’ “You Really Got Me.” When I first heard it I can remember that my friends and I were all impressed. It wasn’t until we started to hear “Runnin’ with the Devil” sometime later that we started to pay serious attention to them, however. Here was another straight-ahead Rock tune, with a blazing rhythm guitar that sounded it was born in an electric power station, topped off with a cool melodic solo and David Lee Roth’s banshee screams. Convinced that this was a serious rock band, my friends and I went and bought the album, completely unprepared for what was to follow. We popped it on the turntable, put the needle down and listened with anticipation. “Runnin’ With the Devil” was the lead-in and then came the “shot heard ‘round the world” in guitar circles. The drums opened the song followed by Eddie’s beginning “A” chord and the rest was sonic bombast like we had never heard before. “Eruption” sounded like the equivalent of World War III, with its opening speed riffs, dive bombs and feedback leading into crunchy power chords followed by upper-fret pyrotechnics and speedy tremolo picking. More dive bombs followed, then more tremolo picking, hammer-ons, pull-offs and then the finale; the classically inspired run that sounded like Bach had taken the brown acid and gone insane. A shimmering cascade of notes followed; ascending and then descending triplets, ending with a dive bomb that sonically resembled a P51 Mustang after it delivered its payload and flew off into the sunset.
This etude of less than two minutes was revolutionary. Nothing that came before sounded like it, ever. Every guitar player who heard it was flabbergasted. It broke nearly every guitar-playing rule known to man. What followed in the songs that came after “Eruption” were almost as ground breaking. Eddie played fills in between chords and choruses that nobody else was doing, or had ever even thought of. His solos made you scratch your head in disbelief. He played “sick” sounding chords that shouldn’t have worked but somehow they did. He made sound effects with his guitar instead of pedals, which he used sparingly. The effects he did use were used in ways that had never been done before, such as using an MXR Phase 90 pedal combined with rubbing across the muted strings with the palm of his hand which not only sounded rhythmic and musical but completely badass! Of course, nobody knew how he was doing it; it left everyone guessing, even the “hot” guitarists of the day. I can recall an article in which Mountain guitarist Leslie West was asked by a student to teach him a Van Halen solo that “sounded like a Bach organ fugue” and he told the kid he didn’t know where to begin – well, neither did anyone else. The entire “Van Halen” album broke new ground in guitar playing; it even spawned a new phrase – “Stun Guitar.” Pretty soon every kid was trying to learn how to play like Eddie. In the years before Van Halen came along, my friends and I were pros at picking apart songs to learn them. We did it on just about every Rock guitar album that came out at that time but even we were scratching our heads trying to figure out what Eddie was doing. We were still behind the curve when “Van Halen II” came out and we learned Eddie wasn’t done. Eddie added to his repertoire with things like tapped harmonic passages, muted staccato harmonics, bent-string tapping and he created another masterpiece featuring more legato classical runs – this time on the acoustic “Spanish Fly.”
By this time, Van Halen was all the rage in Rock circles. When their first album came out, they had toured supporting Black Sabbath and by the mid part of the tour the talk was that Van Halen was blowing the headliners off of the stage every night! I began seeing them on the Van Halen II tour which they headlined and was amazed that Eddie could pull off everything he did on record, live! There was no doubt in my mind; the torch had been passed. To me, Jimmy Page, Joe Perry, Ace Frehley, Ted Nugent; these guys were all also-rans in the guitar playing world at that point. Eddie Van Halen was the new King. Nugent and Billy Gibbons said so publicly and according to Eddie; he infuriated Perry and Ritchie Blackmore so much with his playing that neither would acknowledge him when Eddie first approached them. If you thought that Van Halen was a flash in the pan like his contemporaries probably did at the time though, you were wrong. “Women and Children First” was released with more of Eddie’s pyrotechnics giving the songs their punch and to confuse his contemporaries even more, he played a piano through his Marshall amps on “The Cradle Will Rock” and people had a hard time figuring out that he wasn’t playing guitar on it. He seemed to be able to conjure up musical feedback at will on “Everybody Wants Some.” He supercharged the Blues on “Take Your Whisky Home” and showed his musical diversity, playing slide guitar on “Could This Be Magic?” The real coup-d’e’tat’ was yet to come, however…
In 1981 I was making the rounds at the music stores when I saw the new Van Halen album – “Fair Warning.” I didn’t even know they were releasing a new album but there it was and I proceeded to snap it up immediately. I bought the cassette of it, not having a turntable at the time and took it back to the dorm room I lived in. My roommate was out and he having the only cassette player (boom box) at the time, I quickly grabbed it and popped the cassette in. What followed sounded like unholy hell unleashed. It was this muted, staccato, syncopated series of “notes” followed by a barrage of open stringed and tapped harmonics leading into feedback that would probably give your neighbors a heart attack if you played it loudly at 3AM.
This was shock and awe, ten years before Desert Storm. Our troops probably could have played this over their loudspeakers and Saddam Hussein’s troops would have flung their arms in the air and ran away thinking the world was coming to an end. Of course, I didn’t know how he was making those sounds but I didn’t care, I just kept rewinding the tape – willingly letting him blow my mind. If I had any doubt before as to Eddie being a musical deity, there was none after that. The songs that followed continued the assault. His playing on “Mean Street” was just that – mean as hell. He got brash on “Dirty Movies”, in your face on “Sinner’s Swing” and reserved but then exploding on “Hear About it Later.” The classic “Unchained” followed by “Push Comes to Shove” and “So this is Love” – each showed Edward had an innate ability to create memorable guitar passages at will. His quest to make noises sound musical continued with “Sunday Afternoon in the Park” as he played a kid’s toy synthesizer, coaxing it with taps and bumps to make otherworldly sounds emanate from it. He finished off the album with the synth-driven “One Foot out the Door”; climaxing with a mind-blowing guitar solo that left you wishing the song and the album weren’t finished.
As amazing and groundbreaking as “Van Halen” was, “Fair Warning” was a Hard Rock/Heavy Metal tour de force. The next album – “Diver Down” was intently more commercial with several cover tunes, to Eddie’s dismay but he still managed to get some killer riffs in there. He showed what a master he had become at arranging on the Motown remake – “Dancin’ in the Streets.” Covering a Motown song is no easy feat, yet Eddie struck again. He created a groove with this syncopated and delayed rhythm played on a synthesizer that made pops and squeaks, making the band’s rendition of the song an upbeat, catchy treat. The sounds fit in so well so that you don’t really pay attention to how amazing Eddie’s arrangement of the song was. I still listen to it when I hear it come on – it’s amazing. The best song on the album in my opinion was “Hang ‘Em High” and it was full-on Eddie. He took syncopation to the next level as he concocted a mind blowing intro followed by tasteful whammy goodness. It was basically a three minute guitar solo with Ed filling in the gaps just about everywhere but the way he arranged it around the verse, chorus and bridge, it fit perfectly. He showed there were no limits to his innovation with the echo-laced “Cathedral” as he fingered notes on the fingerboard with his left hand while controlling volume swells with his right on the volume knob, emulating a church organ. Again, no one had ever heard anything like it on a guitar:
Recorded totally off the cuff to fill in for the extra time used in the filming of the video “Oh, Pretty Woman”, the completely grungy “Intruder” lead-in found Eddie making extraneous noises on his guitar using of all things, a beer can! He slid the can up and down the strings while bending notes down with the whammy bar until it groaned. He then slid his guitar pick up the strings until it made contact with the pickup pole pieces to produce a droning feedback. It’s one thing to make noise on the guitar. It’s completely another to make noises sound musical and fit in with the song and Ed was a master at it. Was he a genius or a madman? You decide.
The Montoya-inspired “Little Guitars” intro preceded the song of the same name as Eddie played the lower open strings with his thumb while he tremolo-picked notes on the higher strings before he staccato-picked chords and hit open-string harmonics to the intro conclusion. His ability to improvise in unusual ways when the situation called for it was uncanny!
For the next album; “1984” Ed took the reins and steered the band in the direction he wanted it to go. He built his own studio in his back yard, away from Templeman’s and Roth’s influence of doing cover tunes in order to have hit records and showed he could make hit records his way. Like a mad scientist in his newly-built laboratory, he had everything at his disposal to make his next creation. He started out by getting a little spacey with the synthesizer on“1984“, leading into “Jump” – a song people either loved or hated. Evidently, most people loved it as it went straight to number one on the Billboard charts. It was a pop song but Ed was never afraid to take chances and just about every time he did it came out amazingly. The truth was that Ed was a master tunesmith; he knew how to make a song that appealed to the masses and yet he still managed to squeeze in a killer guitar solo.
“Panama” was typical Van Halen bombast – crunchy power chords, delectable harmonics and a guitar-hero solo in a slightly more commercial hard rock tune that still had attitude. For this album, Ed took inspiration from one of the few guitarists he actually admired – Allan Holdsworth. His Holdsworth-inspired solos on “Top Jimmy” and “Drop Dead Legs” and “Girl Gone Bad” kept his creations fresh while still maintaining his mad scientist persona. “Hot for Teacher” showed Ed didn’t have to do any tapping or whammy wildness to play great guitar – he played the entire song on a Gibson Flying V, switching between rhythm and bridge pickups for the jazzy rhythm parts and the solo. My personal favorite on the album – “House of Pain” was just a straight ahead rock tune with a lot of Eddie’s stampings; whammy wiggles, pinch harmonics, scalular runs and finger slides with a touch of that Holdsworth weirdness. Those first six Van Halen albums set the standard for what Hard Rock music became in the 80s and just about all of it was due to Eddie’s influence. He rewrote the book on guitar playing.
Outside of the music buying public, Ed’s influence was felt all over the guitar-playing world. He drew praise from just about everyone in guitar circles. Everyone wanted to know how he got his killer tone and outrageous sounds. He single-handedly changed the kind of guitar the public wanted. Like Les Paul, he couldn’t buy the kind of guitar he wanted off of the shelf so he built one himself. When he showed the world the guitar he had built from parts and painted in his famously outrageous paint scheme, everyone wanted a guitar like his and a few companies actually started copying it. Pretty soon, tape stripes could be found on factory-made guitars such as Gibson and Dean, while players took their own guitars and customized them to look like Eddie’s. The sales of Gibson Les Pauls shrank because everyone wanted a hot-rodded Strat-style guitar. The name players of the day also felt Ed’s influence. Suddenly they were switching to Strat-style guitars with humbucking pickups in them. Floyd Rose tremolos – which Eddie helped develop, also became standard on these guitars. Companies like Charvel, ESP and Hamer came out of relative obscurity and built Strat-style guitars with features similar to Eddie’s.
Not being happy that suddenly guitar manufacturers were copying his designs and making money from it, Ed immediately changed the look (but not the sound) of his guitars so that these companies would either have to stop selling clones of his guitars or go back to the drawing board. Most just switched to single-color guitars but kept the features that the Eddie-influenced players wanted. Players still continued to customize their guitars with paint schemes influenced by Ed’s “anything goes” mentality into the 90s and even today.
Musically, young kids coming up wanted to play like Eddie and “Eruption” became the template from which all young players tried to show off their talents. In 1981 Mike Varney of Shrapnel records started looking for unknown guitar talent. He got players such as Marty Friedman and Michael Angelo Batio to submit tapes from which he would pick what he felt were the best ones and release them on albums such as “U.S. Metal.” A lot of these players did an “Eruption” – styled solo to showcase their talent. The “Metal Massacre” series of albums was similar, showcasing such unsigned bands at the time like “Steeler” with Yngwie Malmsteen and “Ratt” with Warren DiMartini.
Today, Ed’s influence on guitar making is still being felt. His EVH line of guitars and amps, made in collaboration with Fender, quickly became a major player in Rock as well as Country music.
Now, it’s time for a little bit of fun. Here’s a mashup of some of Eddie’s solos and groundbreaking riffs. See if you can tell which songs they are from:
I hope you enjoyed this little trip back in time. I must admit – prior to making the decision to write this article, I had barely listened to the Van Halen catalog in the last several years. When their last studio album came out – “A Different Kind of Truth” in 2012, I enjoyed it but I felt it wasn’t up to the same groundbreaking standard as Ed had set with the first six studio albums. As I listened to the older songs again I couldn’t help but be amazed at Ed’s sustained ability to take guitar playing and Rock music to another level. Just about every song was a masterpiece in arranging, creativity and musicianship. While some were better than others, all were at a level not achieved previously. As much as Hendrix was the guitar innovator of the sixties, I believe Ed went beyond that. That is why I personally rate them as the two top Rock guitarists ever with Ed being my personal favorite. The players that followed were all influenced one way or another by Eddie. Now, thirty five or forty years later, there still isn’t anyone who has stepped forward and taken Rock guitar to the next level. To me, it isn’t about how many notes you can play, it’s about who changed the game. He is still King Edward.
Happy Birthday, Ed!
What is your favorite Van Halen song/album or memory about Eddie?

Japanese ceramic artist Keiko Masumoto exhibited her Kitsch Kogei collection featuring contemporary ceramic vessels. What makes Masumoto unique is her exceptional motif of embedding octopus sculptures into her ceramic wares. As a result, each Masumoto’s surreal ceramic vessels emanate a beautiful piece of art that also provides functionality.
In applied arts, the concepts of ‘art’ and ‘craft’ remained distinct from each other for a long time. However, some contemporary artists are attempting to erase the line between art and craft. They do this by introducing practical things in eminently aesthetic forms. New generation artists are slowly incorporating art into their craft by applying both utilitarian and decorative designs into one object. Masumoto is one of these contemporary artists as she also tries to connect the ideas towards art and craft.
When it comes to ceramic craftsmanship, Masumoto has an outstanding credential. She earned a master’s degree from a ceramic course in Kyoto City University of Arts in 2007. After which she worked as a resident-artist at the University of Arts in Philadelphia in 2010 and in a London museum in 2013. The most notable characteristics of Masumoto’s creations is the inclusion of surprising elements with a hint of humor. When her surreal ceramic vessels were put on display at ICN gallery in 2012, viewers could hardly tell whether the vases are utilitarian or sculptures.
Masumoto’s surreal ceramic vessels feature blue-and-white patterns that are typical of traditional East Asian wares. But unlike traditional pieces, Masumoto adds intricate sculptures of octopus with their tentacles coiling around the vessels. Every detail is elaborately crafted, from the octopus’ bulging head and realistic eyes to its flowing tentacles and tiny suckers. The half-pottery half-octopus ceramic wares are indeed fascinating to behold. More importantly, these unusual ceramic vessels are functional. Anyone can actually use the octopus-adorned teapot to serve hot tea. And the half-urn half-octopus can serve as an actual urn to contain mementos.
“Whether art or craft, I want to offer work that is intensely conscious of that category, that framework, to explore what I myself felt,” the artist explains.

like many digital designers, my career began as a humble print based designer. over the years however, i have definitely developed a passion for all forms of digital design media. because of this passion, my folio is mostly dedicated to these mediums, however if you would like to see more offline / printed design work, just drop me a line.
Creative Nature was engaged to rapidly build a website to attract interest to an upcoming conference event.
My role in the project was to lead the creative process, produce a viable brand for the website, design and implement the website functionality, along side the DEV team. This included working with various jQuery libraries and online functionality such as cool iris.

Thanks to StephenB for recommending H-20, the spicy fish 'soup'at Joe's Noodle House in Rockville as one of the best things to eat in the area.
A while back, Mike had the audacity to ask what were people's favorite dishes (a loaded question), but I'm glad that StephenB took a swing at it. Joe's is a real Chowhound find, though probably not a secret in Montgomery County. I live in Arlington, so I never would have found the place on my own.
It's listed under specialties, and is not called a soup on the menu. The very kind woman behind the counter offered to make it milder for me, but I declined. At first bite, I though I'd regret that decision, but after a while, my mouth got used to the heat and I tasted a very rich, tangy sauce (actually a huge bowlful of gravy!) It was super delicious, and maybe still I would opt for less heat the next time around, just to see what difference that might make. No doubt, this place is a real treat.

Best feud ever or nah?!

We're so happy that Caitlyn Jenner is happy!
The Arthur Ashe Courage Award winner is still on cloud nine after her momentous appearance at the ESPYS last Wednesday, July 15.
She already opened up about her dyslexia making her nervous during the speech, but the 65-year-old also shared how exciting and nerve-wracking it was to get all glammed up.
You can't win 'em all.
Jennifer Lopez is usually a staple of our best dressed list from every red carpet, but that doesn't seem like it's going to be the case this time…
That's because J.Lo's 2015 Met Gala gown was a major let down.
The Donatella Versace itself is nice, but it is just WAY too literal when it comes to the China: Through the Looking Glass theme.
All Donatella did was embroider a red dragon onto an otherwise plain dress.
Also, we have no idea where all of that skin is coming from in the photo of her profile, but she's working it!
We hate to say it, but we actually prefer Donatella's gown to Jen's…
This is so cool!
Riccardo Tisci definitely marches to the beat of his own drum! Who else would cast a rival designer in their brand's campaign?
The first released image (above) features both designers in profile in an artistic shot taken by Mert & Marcus.
It's not so surprising, however, considering that Riccardo has always been a huge fan of Donatella. He wrote:
During a recent interview with Italian newspaper Corriere Della Serra, Donatella Versace spilled some behind-the-scenes details about the shoot.
For one thing, Her Madgesty's taut and toned muscles were not Photoshopped at all!
That's all her!


A slot is an opening or groove, especially one in the wing of an airplane. It also refers to a position in a series or sequence, such as a job.
A slot in the wing of an airplane keeps air from flowing over the wing and into areas where it doesn’t belong, reducing drag. This helps the plane fly more efficiently and can prevent the wing from becoming distorted or damaged.
The slot is a part of the wing that’s usually made from metal and has a smooth, shiny surface. It’s designed to keep the air from escaping from the aircraft as it moves through the atmosphere, and it can be found near the trailing edge of the wing and in front of the leading edge.
In order to play slots, you need to sign up at an online casino and deposit money into your account. Once you’ve done this, you can then choose which game you want to play and click the spin button. Once the reels stop spinning, the corresponding symbols in the paylines will determine whether or not you win. The odds of winning can be adjusted by changing the amount you bet per spin.
A casino has a better chance of winning than you do, so it’s important to protect yourself and not spend more than you can afford to lose. The best way to do this is to set a limit in advance and stick to it, even when you’re winning. This will help you avoid making irrational decisions and can also improve your long-term enjoyment of the game.
Conventional mechanical slot machines have large reels with symbols that spin, but newer models use computers instead of actual reels. The microprocessors inside the machine determine which symbols will appear and how much you’ll win based on what’s programmed in its software. It’s possible to find the program and see how it was tested to achieve its payback percentage, so you can decide whether or not to give it a try.
Another factor to consider is the probability of hitting a particular symbol on a given reel. A slot can have several different paylines, which can increase your chances of hitting a winning combination. It’s always a good idea to read a slot’s pay table before you start playing, as it will tell you everything you need to know about the machine’s payout potential.
Most slots have three or five reels, and each one is weighted differently. This means that it’s more likely to hit lower-paying symbols on the first two reels, and that higher-paying symbols will be less common on the third reel. This creates an illusion of near-wins, as the third reel often appears to be just above the winning symbol, but it’s actually a very poor chance of getting that symbol. This can cause players to over-estimate their odds of hitting a particular symbol. In some cases, this can lead to addiction and even financial ruin.


Embracing Continuous Improvement: The Kaizen Way at Holstery
At Holstery, the essence of our operations lies in the principle of continuous improvement, or "Kaizen" — a concept deeply rooted in Japanese culture. For those familiar with manufacturing, and undoubtedly in many other sectors, the Kaizen approach is a beacon of progressive change, emphasizing the importance of small, incremental improvements to enhance efficiency in our processes.
In an exciting phase of adaptation, we've recently implemented a new system known as "kitting." This process starts in what we could call an "inbox area," where empty bins from our shipping department are collected. These bins are arranged with temporary tape to denote priorities as we fine-tune this system. The goal is simple: to streamline the way we handle incoming orders, ensuring they are assembled with precision and speed.
The kitting process utilizes a "kanban" — a signaling device that outlines the specific components required for each kit. This aids our kitting station workers in accurately picking the necessary parts from our inventory, assembling them into the bin, and preparing them for the next stage in our assembly line.
An example of this process in action is the assembly of our "Magmasters." Each component — from packaging materials to the magnets and clips required for assembly — is organized and prepared for assembly. This approach not only streamlines production but also ensures that each product meets our high standards of quality.
Central to our manufacturing philosophy is the concept of "one-piece flow," a method where each component is individually processed and passed along the assembly line, eliminating bottlenecks and enhancing efficiency. This approach is exemplified in our assembly process, where each part is riveted and assembled with care before moving on to the next phase.
Innovation extends beyond our assembly line into our logistics and inventory management. By utilizing "maker pipe", we're experimenting with how we store and access our inventory. This modular, adaptable system allows for easy access and replenishment of materials, ensuring our production line remains uninterrupted and efficient.
Our journey towards continuous improvement is supported by custom technology solutions, such as a specialized computer program for tracking and validating the assembly process. This not only guarantees the accuracy of our products but also provides valuable data that helps us optimize our production timeline.
In the spirit of Kaizen, every aspect of our operation at Holstery is under constant review for potential enhancements. From the initial kitting process to the final stages of assembly and inventory management, our commitment to continuous improvement drives us forward. It's a journey that never truly ends but rather evolves with each small step we take towards operational excellence.

This weekend, Austin's Circuit of the Americas will host the U.S. Grand Prix, a Formula 1 race expected to draw more than 120,000 spectators. And just in case one of those spectators is currently symptomatic with Ebola, the medical team is ready with all the full-body protective gear required, as local news station KTBC reports.
The medical crew, tasked with keeping drivers, team members, and spectators healthy throughout the race weekend, is already extensively equipped. Medical staff includes six first-aid stations each run by a nurse and technician, with a main medical center staffed by four nurses, two technicians, three emergency doctors, and surgeons specializing in orthopedics, trauma, and neurosurgery.
READ MORE: The day the F1 pyramid scheme crashed
Run-ins with serious diseases are not unheard of: Nurse Shirley Borgmann told KTBC that medical staff encountered three photographers with malaria at last year's USGP. And Texans have a right to be concerned—their state was the first in the U.S. to have an Ebola scare, and just this week a nurse returning from West Africa self-quarantined in Austin despite showing no symptoms.
It's worth pointing out that Ebola is only contagious when a patient is showing symptoms. And those symptoms—severe vomiting, diarrhea, and all the attendant discomfort —would probably prevent a patient from going out to enjoy a weekend of Formula 1 racing. That said, the hard-working medical team at COTA is doing the right thing by equipping themselves for any possible scenario.
In short, the doctors at COTA are ready for anything. Your primary concern should be arriving at the track on time to take in the F1 spectacle.


Since the bridge at Moylinn was demolished in 2023 there have been numerous Freedom on Information requests to the Department for Infrastructure to try and understand why it was demolished.
A clicker count of the footbridge was carried out between late August ‘22 and mid December ‘22 - to determine how busy/popular the bridge was in the area. Daily crossings rarely dipped below 100 – with the highest daily rate being 733. No other bridges were counted during that time.
Other bridge surveys
“information is held, however, the Department is unable to release the information because of the burden that it would place on staff resources is considered to be manifestly unreasonable.”
This indicates that the Department do hold information on the condition of other bridges on the network. It’s hard to know whether any other bridges are at risk.
Bridge testing & costs
A cost analysis report was not completed but the Department’s consultant recommended a significant amount of complicated, destructive and disruptive testing:
“was estimated to be £145,000 however this did not include for example the cost of temporary traffic management, reinstatement of the openings to the structure or removal and replacement of the bridge surface layers. It is estimated that the total cost of testing alone, including making good the ‘damage’ caused by the testing would have exceeded £200,000.”
A copy of the consultant’s survey is available to read
Cost to test and repair the bridge
The Department were asked for information about the cost of repairing the bridge:
“Conservatively any repairs are likely to have cost at least several hundred thousand pounds on top of the testing costs, potentially with limited return to extend its life.”
Cost of demolition
The Department were asked for the total cost of demolition:
“The cost of the demolition was approximately £124,000”.

FRISCO — Roughly five weeks since suffering a fractured collarbone in the season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch has been cleared to return to the field, per a source.
All signs are pointing to Vander Esch being on the field when the Cowboys (2-3) take on the Arizona Cardinals (3-2) Monday night (7:15 p.m., TV: ESPN).
Even it’s just a limited role on passing downs, the return of the Pro Bowl linebacker will be welcomed by a Cowboys defense that ranks 27th overall and last in points allowed.
After watching Vander Esch practice full all week without an complications or setbacks, coach Mike McCarthy says he’s “definitely encouraged” about him playing against the Cardinals.
“All the arrows are pointing up right now,” McCarthy said.
Vander Esch underwent surgery in mid-September to repair a collarbone fracture suffered in the season-opening loss to the Rams.
McCarthy said when Cowboys started the 21-day practice window in preparation to be activated from injured reserve last week that Vander Esch was ahead of schedule in his rehab.
Owner Jerry Jones said the Cowboys wouldn’t play Vander Esch if he was not absolutely ready.
“He will not go back out there if he’s vulnerable in any way, inordinately vulnerable, as to certainly the injury that he has dealt with. I’ll assure you of that,” Jones said. “You can bet if he hits the field that he has complete go and a solid go to go out.
“We would not risk additional injury because of that injury, whether it’s where he was injured or how he’s playing because he was injured. So, all of that you can feel real good (that) if you see him on the field, he should be out there.”

Man City: Pep Guardiola's agent gives hint at managerial future
Manchester City's UEFA-enforced ban from European competition has led to speculation about Pep Guardiola's future.
Pep Guardiola's agent reiterated his client "always fulfills his contracts" amid fresh speculation regarding the Manchester City boss' future following UEFA's Financial Fair Play (FFP) sanctions.
City stay likely, hints Pep agent
Last week City were hit with a two-season ban from European competition for "serious breaches" of FFP regulations, a suspension meted out after an investigation found the Premier League champions guilty of "overstating its sponsorship revenue in its accounts and in the break-even information submitted to UEFA between 2012 and 2016".
City have denied wrongdoing throughout the process and intend to appeal the punishments, which also include a €30million fine, yet the possibility of not playing in Europe for two seasons has led to questions about the future of their key players and manager.
Prior to the UEFA sanctions, Guardiola had stated his wish to see out his City contract and remain in Manchester until 2021, and his agent Josep Maria Orobitg suggested nothing has changed on that front.
"Guardiola always fulfils all his contracts," he told El Mundo. "And this [contract with City] concludes in June 2021."
Guardiola left Barcelona at the end of his one-year rolling contract in 2012 after four hugely successful seasons with his boyhood club.
He then spent three seasons with Bayern Munich, again vacating the post when his contract ran out.
Guardiola was appointed City boss in 2016 and he signed fresh terms in May 2018, shortly after his team won the Premier League title with a record-breaking 100 points.
Should he complete his current contract at the Etihad Stadium, the time at City would be Guardiola's longest stint at a club.
