Its the Best! by An MSN Autos Consumer on 01/05/2013. Trim: 2013 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited 4X4, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: New owner and first Hybrid Limited, so too early to tell. My first impressions have been great. I like the style, size and features. Previously owned a Sienna XLE Limited AWD for nine years and was willing to sacrifice a little size and space for better technology, fuel economy, comfort and style. I've owned many cars and Toyota has better maintenance costs unlike my German cars. HistoricallyToyota has been dependable for me. I looked at many other SUVs/Crossovers and kept coming back to the Highlander for overall value. I would expect the same excellent resale as my Sienna with this new Hybrid Limited.
Cons: Not many Hybrid Limited's to choose from around three local "high volume" Toytota dealers.
Overall review: Good overall first impressions. I'm expecting Toyota quality and dependability.

Great large model Hybrid by Lanie - Peachtree City on 11/26/2013. Trim: 2013 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited 4X4, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Its very comfortable, easy to drive and can haul most anything without compromising fuel mileage. Love the features & benefits of the overall package.
Cons: Navi system needs some work. Too much trouble to do updates - Toyota not real consumer friendly in this category.
Overall review: Excellent ride. Great for short or long trips. I use it for business and love it. This is my second Highlander and it saves me lots of fuel and service costs over my previous Jeep Grand Cherokees (had 6).

The graphic novel left me wanting more! It tells the tale of a sister and brother fighting for their rights. The New Order takes over and is capturing and executing all witches and wizards. With their parents missing, Wisty and her brother Whit must battle with "The One" who is responsible for this "Order" and is hungry for power.

Why Is My Mango Frozen Yogurt Bitter?
Ingredient Questions
Q: I recently bought some mangoes to make into frozen yogurt. I let them sit until soft, and they tasted only faintly astringent when diced. But now that the yogurt is made, it's SO bitter! Is there a way to save it? How can I avoid this in the future?
Sent by Lindsey
Editor: Mangoes are really only bitter when they're under-ripe, so my guess is that even though they were soft, they still weren't quite ripe yet. The mango should give a little when you press it near the stem, feel heavy for its size, and smell sweet and floral. You might also try a different variety of mango, like Ataulfo mangoes. Baking the mango in something like muffins or cooking it into a sauce would also help reduce bitterness.
As for your poor batch of frozen yogurt, I'm afraid I'm at a loss!
Readers, have you ever had this problem with mangoes? What do you suggest?

hm, can you rechurn it and add something sweeter? honey? strawberries?
Try adding a little salt. Salt "plugs up" the bitterness receptors in our taste buds.
@Sillyputty - I guess that's why sprinkling salt on my sour cream makes it taste sweet! I noticed that years ago and always wondered why. Thanks!
In my experience adding sweet doesn't exactly counter bitter the way it does salty or spicy, but maybe you could serve the frozen yogurt drenched in some sort of sweet sauce or something? Like a strawberry sauce, as mentioned above? Sorry I don't have a better idea!
Why not to add the yogurt to a muffin recipe that call for buttermilk, usually you can replace the yogurt for buttermilk 1:1.
Haven't try it, but it should work.
Yeah, I would let it melt and sub for buttermilk in a sweet quickbread. Just cut back on the sugar since you presumably added some to the frozen yogurt (if not, that's your problem right there, ha!)
The reason it's bitter is because fresh mango (and pineapple, papaya, kiwi, figs,...) contain an enzyme that break down proteins (in this case the ones in your youghurt, but they will also 'tenderize' meat, or give you numb'tongue if you eat too much of the fresh fruit).
If you cook the mango (to denature the enzymes) before adding it to the frozen yoghurt, you won't get the bitterness (I had the same experience with a batch of kiwi frozen yoghurt).
If the bitterness in your mango frozen yoghurt is anything like what my kiwi stuff was, there is no way to fix/disguise it. Call it a learning experience and try again with cooked fruit.

Sadly entirely true. As a DPS (I haven't tanked much since a brief spell during Wrath) it's readily apparent that the real boss isn't the one marked with a skull; it's the other four people ... or nine people, or twenty-four. One of the reasons I burned out on raiding in ICC was the feeling that it wasn't the difficulty of the bosses holding my guild back, but the ineptitude of my fellow raiders.
It's a really sucky feeling to feel that one's progress and success is dependent upon a bunch of strangers - one of whom is a twelve-year-old, a second who's stoned (and keeps telling you all about it), a third who doesn't respond to anything, and a fourth who spends the entire run repeating 4chan memes in allcaps.
It's a testament to the low barrier to entry that dungeons can succeed even with the wunderkind, the stoner, the vegetable and the moron doing their best - intentionally or not - to sabotage it. The Zuls, with their higher skill requirements, are walls against which the dregs of the dungeon finder will wash ineffectually forever ... which is no great consolation for the good players bobbing about in the bilgewater!
Since I'm no longer guilded Alliance side, and my Hordeside guild doesn't do current content, I've resigned myself to waiting a month or two before I attempt the Zuls again. There's just no way for the dungeon finder to separate the wheat from the chaff.
To get back on the topic of the CtA feature rather than the failures of pugs - I'm pleasantly surprised that the CtA actually seems to have worked to reduce DPS queue times (at least for now). Based upon Blizzard's previous attempt at bribing people to run dungeons (the loot bag and drake in the Oculus) I was expecting it to fall flat. But dungeon queues are at least halved! So that's not so shabby.

I've known (and know) plenty of folks that smoke weed, I do not. But for whatever reason on WoW, those that do smoke think that everyone does, and everyone wants to hear about it. I had a raid leader that was obviously getting worse and worse in the raid and he and a few other potheads in the group thought it was hilarious as the raid went worse. After a few wipes half the group just made excuses and left.
It just goes back to the general "no consequences = no consideration" factor.
I actually think it's the other way around, they think they're special because they smoke (or drink). Well, they're not. Bragging about those stuff all the time I would expect from a insecure kid. The rest of us can handle it fine and don't let it affect our performance or our fellow players.

Q. Can your tampon really get lost?
A. Not lost, but it can become difficult to retrieve if it turns sideways or is at the very back of the vagina. If this happens, the most important thing is not to panic. Retrieve it by lying on your back and elevating your hips with a pillow. Insert two fingers into your vagina, creating a hook to bring the tampon forward. If you forgot you put a tampon in to begin with and insert another one or have sex, you'll notice an unpleasant odor and discharge. It's not an infection -- your tampon has just been pushed back. If you're still having trouble finding it, take a trip to your gynecologist. This kind of visit happens more often than you think!

Gluten-Free Baking: How to Make An Easy Flour Substitute
As holiday baking projects take over my kitchen, I find myself thinking of friends and family with gluten intolerance who might not be looking at this time of year so favorably. I caught up with Geri Peacock of the gluten-free Cherbourg Bakery in Columbus, Ohio to ask for some expert advice. Here's her recommendation for a flour substitute that's simple to make and even easier to use.
According to Geri, gluten-free baking doesn't necessarily need to involve a lot of flour mixes, xantham gum, guar gum, or any other complicated substitutes for gluten. This just gets expensive and confusing very quickly. In her bakery, they've come to rely on one basic flour substitute.
• Basic Gluten-Free Flour Substitute: 1 pound white rice flour + 1/2 cup tapioca flour, whisked together.
Geri says this works best in recipes that call for two cups of flour or less, which includes most cookies, bars, and other smaller baked treats. You can substitute this rice flour mix one-for-one with all-purpose wheat flour in these recipes.
Beyond this, it's just important to make sure all the other ingredients in the recipe were processed in a gluten-free facility and are certified gluten-free. Wipe down your counters with soapy water before baking to get rid of any lingering gluten and then use stainless steel equipment, since wood can absorb gluten over time. Easy peasy.
This makes gluten-free baking feel so simple and straight-forward to me. In our interview, Geri emphasized that gluten-free baking isn't really that different than any other kind of baking. Just keep things simple, use good-quality ingredients, and have fun trying new things. This, I think I can manage!
What other advice do you have when baking gluten-free treats?

weird... I didn't think there would be such a thing as "lingering" gluten since gluten isn't already present in flour, it has to be created by adding water and mixing a lot. That's why you can get flaky pie crusts by creating less gluten.
Tapioca flour sounds so much easier than using gums. Though I've never seen tapioca flour before.
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. @melle is speaking of how to get those protein fibers to work their magic in baking--and why the absence of them makes GF baking such a challenge to us GF folks. We cannot substitute 1:1 a GF flour for wheat flour. It just does not work, and some sort of additive to make everything more elastic is required--typically guar gum or xanthum gum.
I recently caved--after trying to stick to just a few GF flours like almond and coconut--and bought a scale and made up a two full batches of "Gluten Free Girl and the Chef's" flour mix. It works wonders! I made some GF oatmeal Heath Bar cookies for Halloween that all the gluten eating folks could not stop snarfing down. That was awesome!
As to trace gluten, I am so sensitive I have to be comando about it. Even my husband, who has had to bail me out of more than one unfortunate accident of the south of the border kind from trace gluten, will speak up and say, "Don't serve anyone ice cream until Jacqueline has gotten hers since there is gluten in the cookie dough kind!" God love him!
Another one I've used successfully is a mix of white rice and light rye flour; local company EnerG Foods makes that commercially with some baking powder tossed in. Works for anything like muffins, biscuits and tea breads that don't use more than 2 c. flour. Makes great scones...
@Servelan - rye flour is NOT gluten free!
if you are just getting started with GF baking, using recipes that call for just almond flour and/or coconut flour and a lot of eggs is the simplest. no weighing, no xanthan gum, etc. but while these are tasty, they aren't exactly like regular flour baked goods.
thanks to anyone who makes their gluten-free friends and family feel welcome with the treats over the holidays! they will appreciate it.
@servelan, Rye has gluten!!
I have had success with a 4:2:2:1 mixture of brown rice, white rice, sorghum and tapioca flours, mixed with 1 tsp xanthan gum per cup of flour. I just mix up a big batch every few months and sub this mixture 1:1 for most simple recipes.
Elana's Pantry, The Glutenfree Almond Flour Cookbook and Honeyville's almond flour.
You've NEVER had glutenfree like Elana's stuff. seriously.
I often use Bob's Red Mill general gf flour mix as well as Pamela's mixes. My chocolate chip cookies are raved about.
I've seen that combination before. I'm personally not so partial to it because it's very refined, vs. some other mixes out there that are a little more nutrient-dense. And while rice flour and tapioca flour/starch work well in baked goods, I don't care for tapioca in my bread products at all.
Having said that, thanks for highlighting gluten intolerance/celiac's with this article.
Thank you!
After seeing the link on edible gifts yesterday, I've decided brownies in a jar will make a perfect present for my sister. But her boyfriend is gluten intolerant and I've been struggling to find gluten-free brownies recipes that don't ask for 4 different types of strangely-named flour.
Hmm... baking GF without xanthan gum would turn out an incredibly crumbly end product, at least that's been my experience every time I have forgotten the xanthan gum. I wouldn't recommend it. I normally use 5 parts white rice, 2 parts potato starch, and 1 part tapioca flour, with a 1 C. flour to 1 t. xanthan gum ratio. I occasionally add sorghum. It works out fine for things like cookies and cakes. With bread I like to use some different flours. But never bean flours. I think they lend a terrible taste and texture.

Berkeley catering
I would love recommendations of full service caterers for a professional dinner at my home. There would be about 50 women who are in town for a large professional meeting at the Moscone Center and I plan on inviting them to a dinner in Berkeley. I am looking for someone who prepares good food, could be ethnic, but which would appeal to people from around the country
re: sugarbuzz
I'm not sure I would recommend Grace Street. We are working with them now to do our wedding reception, and we are feeling pretty blown off because we are one of their smaller events (75 guests). Your party would be even smaller so I don't think they would be a good fit.
Hugh Groman Catering is right in Berkeley on MLK and Dwight in that funky art deco green building, he is full service top notch. His style is a blend of european/Mediterranean with a latin flair. Very wide custom menu you can choose from if you have particular requests. I would book early since he gets filled up rather fast. I've had his food and it's amazing. And I've only heard good things about his service and crew.
I've heard great things about Susan Foord Catering:
What is your price range? Catering companies vary dramatically in cost per head, what they provide, etc.
I was going to suggest Rick and Ann's since they did very well for us but they, to my knowledge, only do buffet. For an interesting experience for "people from all around the country" perhaps you can check out Ruen Pair.Mixed reviews for in house dining but you can certainly pick and choose your menu.
We had a great experience with Shai's, who are located in Kensington. They catered our wedding in 2000 and the food was delicious. Shai is Israeli, so some of their options are Middle Eastern, which probably wouldn't be too out there for "people from around the country".
I just realized your post was from about 6 weeks ago - hope this helps, or helps someone else.
re: chompy
I would HIGHLY recommend both Paula LeDuc in Emeryville
or Barbara Llewelyn, also I think in Emeryville (although she lives in Orinda);
Both have done events for us in the size range you are describing, and the results were outstanding. Great food, super attention to detail, easy and responsive to work with during the planning stages, professional servers. The only drawback is that they are not cheap.
Trumpet Vine is in Berkeley, and we'used them for a number of events, including our wedding (but not the cake). http://www.trumpetvineevents.com/
I'd recommend Aubergine Catering: http://www.auberginecatering.com/
Joan (the owner) is a fabulous cook, has lots of great menu ideas, and is super easy to work with. Her flavor combinations are delicious and she really takes advantage of seasonal produce. I know she does a lot of stuff in Berkeley and has great references.
She catered my baby shower last fall and both the vegetarians and meat eaters loved it. Everybody had seconds and then thirds. My husband, who dropped me off and saw the spread, left *very* reluctantly for his pool and pizza man-shower.

Why iOS 5 is Great For Your Kitchen
There are a lot of great food apps for iOS. Epicurious is free and full of great recipes, Michael Ruhlman's Ratio is great when you need to recalculate the portions of a recipe and Smart Chef Substitutions takes some of the pain out of forgetting an ingredient. But the trouble with using just one of those great apps is exactly that: it can only be one.
Say you're looking through Mark Bittman's app and discover you need to change the number of servings for a bouillabaisse for your party. Not possible on old iOS 4. On iOS 5 you can swipe to switch between apps. We also keep a TV in the kitchen for background music or for eating alone. But the ability to mirror the iPad on a TV means we can use that screen in any part of our kitchen without having to keep the iPad with us.
The ability to swipe to other apps in iOS5 is going to open us up to using the iPad all the time in the kitchen. Now we just need to figure out a better way to keep our iPad clean than putting it in a plastic bag...
Do you use your iPad in the Kitchen? Tell us how in the comments.

I use the Weight Watchers Kitchen companion on my iPad in the kitchen. It's so very handy with the check boxes to mark as you complete each step. It also has built in mini-timers for each step that has a time element.
We use a cookbook stand with a clear acrylic cover. Flip down to use, flip up as splashguard.
You can protect your iPad when cooking with the Chef Sleeve. More info: www.chefsleeve.com
We think our iPad apps will be much more useful! Read the kitchn's review of Conversions for Cooking and Substitutions.
Huh? This article is completely wrong. The same can be done in iOS 4.
DavidBeegle is absolutely correct, this was available in iOS 4 with a minimum of tweaking. And even without shipping, my iPad has been very useful in the kitchen from day 1.
As such, this WAS NOT offered in iOS 4, but there was a little-known trick that was available without tweaking that offered a similar function: double-pressing the square button to bring up a menu of most recently used apps. The last app used would show first, the one used before it shows second, and so on.
This new function is merely an improvement, albeit welcome, over what iOS 4 offered.

What Is This About A Blue Colored Vagina.sorry If To Vulgar
It's called (if I remember correctly) "Chadwick's Sign". A blueish coloration to the area around the opening of your vagina and to your cervix (which you won't be able to see without a speculum).
bump...so you can't see it for yourself? I don't really understand it did some research online and I doesnt go into much detail about it??? Very confused too..
If you go to the doctor and they use a speculum to open your vagina to reveal your cervix, the cervix will be blue to the naked eye if you are pregnant, instead of its normal pinkish color. I can assume if your vulva is bluish too, that can be an indicator, but I would not use htat as a sure sign. Hope this helps!
A blue-ish vulva (due to the swelling blood vessels) can be a good indicator of pregnancy, or sometimes it just means af is coming. best to you!

Rumor: Jessica Biel as Chun-LiActress Jessica Biel (pictured left)--of 7th Heaven, Blade: Trinity and The Illusionist fame--may play Chun-Li in the upcoming Street Fighter movie, reports movie news site LatinoReview.com. "I do think Biel will get the 'Chun Li' offer," source El Mayimbe relayed.
Assuming El Mayimbe is to be believed, Biel was not the first choice for the role. The source claims that both Pirates of the Carribean starlet Keira Knightly and Idle Hands' Jessica Alba previously declined the chance to personify one of Capcom's most recognizable icons. The original live action Street Fighter film, released in 1994, saw Ming-Na represent Chun-Li alongside Jean-Claude Van Damme as main character Guile.
Announced in October 2006, the new live action Street Fighter movie is said to focus primarily on Chun-Li. Set to arrive in 2008--coinciding nicely with the 20th anniversary of Capcom's fighting franchise--the film will be jointly produced by Capcom and Hyde Park Entertainment with a script handled by Justin Marks. No director has yet been announced.

In The Works: Socata TBM 850
The Socata TBM 850, a faster, more powerful derivative of the TBM 700 turboprop single, received FAA approval on January 23, six weeks after the EASA certified the airplane. On the same day, the first production TBM 850 made its maiden flight with EADS Socata chief pilot Christian Briand at the controls accompanied by flight-test engineer Alain Arnaud.
Building on the TBM 700 platform, the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-66D-powered TBM 850 offers a higher maximum cruising speed (320 ktas) than its predecessor, as well as a 31,000-foot ceiling. Socata said it has orders for 29 copies of the $2.8 million airplane, with deliveries scheduled to start before the beginning of this month.

|American Women and the Repeal of Prohibition (American Social Experience Series)
|Kenneth Rose
|In 1933 Americans did something they had never done before: they voted to repeal an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Eighteenth Amendment, which for 13 years had prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages, was nullified by the passage of another amendment, the Twenty-First. Many factors helped create this remarkable turn of events. One factor that was essential, Kenneth D. Rose here argues, was the presence of a large number of well-organized women promoting repeal. Even more remarkable than the appearance of these women on the political scene was the approach they took to the politics of repeal. Intriguingly, the arguments employed by repeal women and by prohibition women were often mirror images of each other, even though the women on the two sides of the issue pursued diametrically opposed political agendas. Rose contends that a distinguishing feature of the women's repeal movement was an argument for home protection, a social feminist ideology that women repealists shared with the prohibitionist women of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. The book surveys the women's movement to repeal national prohibition and places it within the contexts of women's temperance activity, women's political activity during the 1920s, and the campaign for repeal. While recent years have seen much-needed attention devoted to the recovery of women's history, conservative women have too often been overlooked, deliberately ignored, or written off as unworthy of scrutiny. With American Women and the Repeal of Prohibition, Kenneth Rose fleshes out a crucial chapter in the history of American women and culture.

|Through the Labyrinth: The Truth About How Women Become Leaders (Center for Public Leadership)
|Alice H. Eagly and Linda L. Carli
|Despite real progress, women remain rare enough in elite positions of power that their presence still evokes a sense of wonder. In "Through the Labyrinth", Alice Eagly and Linda Carli examine why women's paths to power remain difficult to traverse. First, Eagly and Carli prove that the glass ceiling is no longer a useful metaphor and offer seven reasons why. They propose the labyrinth as a better image and explain how to navigate through it. This important and practical book addresses such critical questions as: How far have women actually come as leaders? Do stereotypes and prejudices still limit women's opportunities? Do people resist women's leadership more than men's? And, do organisations create obstacles to women who would be leaders?This book's rich analysis is founded on scientific research from psychology, economics, sociology, political science, and management. The authors ground their conclusions in that research and invoke a wealth of engaging anecdotes and personal accounts to illustrate the practical principles that emerge. With excellent leadership in short supply, no group, organisation, or nation can afford to restrict women's access to leadership roles. This book evaluates whether such restrictions are present and, when they are, what we can do to eliminate them.
|Why So Slow? The Advancement of Women
|Virginia Valian
|Why do so few women occupy positions of power and prestige? Virginia Valian uses concepts and data from psychology, sociology, economics, and biology to explain the disparity in the professional advancement of men and women. According to Valian, men and women alike have implicit hypotheses about gender differences -- gender schemas -- that create small sex differences in characteristics, behaviors, perceptions, and evaluations of men and women. Those small imbalances accumulate to advantage men and disadvantage women. The most important consequence of gender schemas for professional life is that men tend to be overrated and women underrated.Valian's goal is to make the invisible factors that retard women's progress visible, so that fair treatment of men and women will be possible. The book makes its case with experimental and observational data from laboratory and field studies of children and adults, and with statistical documentation on men and women in the professions. The many anecdotal examples throughout provide a lively counterpoint.

el cielo con redscale sale siempre rojo?
Que ISO le metistes? Porque igual me atrevo a probar el carrete rojito con mi Olympus OM-10 de papá
@dbenit iso 50, cuanto más bajo disminuyes más y más las tonalidades rojas, a mí con 50 me salieron tonos dorados y amarillos, ¡yo te recomiendo que pruebes!
muchas gracias, lo haré ;)

I've been struggling recently to complete a project due to college and work...(not a job in art) but I got some serious inspiration this past week from Brom and Darrken. This is the result. I learned a ton on this one. This should be the beginning of a continued thread.
Being that I'm trying desperately to get into the games industry, please crit me to pieces...CC much appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

It's pretty good, but there's room for improvement. I'll start top to bottom
Feathers; there's no shadow or highlights
the ear is flat with a black outline around it which doesn't really pass for shadows. And the top part of it being cut off... you should detail it out more, it just looks like a black line
shadow on its neck doesnt seem believeable, and speaking of, its chain has no cast shadow at all.
collarbone is really sticking out, but since it may not be human, that could've been on purpose
also there's no clear light source. Highlights from the body are coming from different angles and some shadows are missing where there should be some. Before rendering, draw a little sun or light bulb for where your light source is coming from so you dont forget, you can always erase it later.
and lastly the arm muscles are stiff rather than relaxed since his arm isnt really doing anything, maybe if you used a reference picture it could have been of someone who just worked out, but usually the muscles shouldn't be defined so much.
I think it looks too much like the Brom one! Perhaps more like a study than a work of your own
you're welcome, but I had no idea it was a study, I and other people would give you a better critique if you post the original next to yours, there's a different way of giving crits to a re-imagined painting than an original one.
Yes it mostly a study that got carried away... as you stated Z a "re-imagining" of the Brom work shown below. Not meant to be a shameless copy but a study that included some of my own elements. I've always found that the best way for me to learn is through copying those better than me until I feel comfortable enough to move on my own.
so yeah nevermind about the eye postion of the mask and the collarbone. Be careful of shadows, if you look closely at the shadows on the front of its neck, the shadow below his jaw from Brom's version is lighter. And dont use black for shadows, instead usually a darkened shade of the medium color should be used. that's about it

It was decent but the recipe definitely needs revamping. Added more garlic, onion, pepper, and dry sherry for more flavor but still was just so-so.
Shrimp with Lemon-Saffron Rice
girly668 Posted: 01/07/12
wilsonaudrey Posted: 01/05/12
I was very excited to try this dish. I love saffron! I made a couple of changes, which could account for the turnout. I subbed 1 1/2 c. couscous for rice (only had 1/2 c. instant rice) and frozen shrimp...Had hoped the dish would have more depth and character with the oregano, but mine turned out a little bland. I think I would up the oregano, garlic, saffron by 1/2 and add a chicken sausage to enhance the flavor next time.
CCakes Posted: 01/04/12
Really quick and easy, and just about "perfect" health-wise (no cheese, no butter, etc.). I don't have any instant rice, so I used brown jasmine in the ricecooker with the broth, oregano, saffron and paprika, then just added it to the pot of sauteed onions, peppers, shrimp and peas when it was almost done (I wanted some liquid left in the rice to deglaze the bottom of the shrimp/veg pan). I also used a whole onion and a whole, large green pepper, which I am sure is more than the .5C each. Will definitely make again.
kthahn221 Posted: 01/10/12
I followed the directions and ingredients as indicated - I was disappointed in the flavoring.
Melthread Posted: 01/04/12
We really liked this recipe. The lemon flavor is not overwhelming, but is a nice touch. We doubled the peas to up the veggie intake and thought it was good. We will be making this again.
chrys243 Posted: 01/29/12
I admit I did a good bit of tweaking to the recipe. Doubled the green pepper, onion, garlic, paprika. 1.5 times on the pepper, oregano, peas and lemon juice. I also used 1/8th tsp crushed saffron threads and I happened to still have some powdered saffron so I used 1/8th tsp of that as well. I used about 3/4 cup water to the instant rice instead of the 1/2 cup it called for. I omitted the salt. I enjoy a good bit of spice so I added what was probably a little less than an 1/8th of cayenne pepper ( just enough to lightly coat the top of the mixture in the pot). What came out was spicy and delicious, with the little bit of extra water in there it made a slight broth which would've been great to have some crusty bread to go with. I can't wait to have it soak up the goodness overnight and reheat the leftovers. Extra lemon wedges are an absolute must and a crisp white wine!
ClaraP Posted: 01/04/12
Amazing quick Paella. Made this for dinner tonight and had the neighbors over as well. Made for a great impromptu meal that was good enough for company! I used shrimp scampi that we get at Costco (omitted the added garlic) and added some chicken sausage (with sundried tomatoe) that gave it more of a Paella feel. Otherwise, followed the recepie exactly and it was GREAT. Served it with a Spinach and Green Apple salad with toasted almonds and dijon vinagrette.
shewhomust Posted: 01/17/12
This has huge potential. But it needs more shrimp in proportion to the rice and I added more onions, pepper and garlic. Be sure to serve with extra lemon wedges and a shot of Chalupa or other hot sauce is a good idea, too.
steponme Posted: 01/25/12
As another reviewer stated saffron is a very expensive spice and I only tried this recipe b/c I already had some on hand from another recipe that I recently used it in. The only changes I made were using instant brown rice and after reading other's reviews I added a little smoked turkey sausage when I sauteed the veg. and I didn't add salt b/c of the salt in the turkey sausage. I thought this was was a great tasting one pot meal for a weeknight and will keep in my recipe rotation.
lrk5158 Posted: 01/10/12
As someone who cooks meals from Cooking Light magazine 4-5 times per week, it is rare that I find a recipe that I consider "a miss"; This one was definitely that for me. It was very easy to make, but incredibly bland in my opinion. Having had several versions of paella in the past, this one was certainly the least memorable.
NatalieDecker Posted: 01/13/12
I saw this in the magazine and knew i had to try it. I was concerned about the online reviews, but learned i should wait and try it myself. I loved it! I followed the recipe exactly and thought the dish was full of flavor and the shrimp were cooked nicely. Will keep this in my faves.
LadyAlethea Posted: 01/07/12
I *loved* this recipe. I made it without changes as this was the first time I've made it, with the single exception of adding approximately two ounces more broth than the recipe called for (it was all that was left in the package and I didn't want to waste it). I found it light but still filling... Neither my husband nor I found it bland at all; the subtlety of the blend of flavors were very much exactly what a classic paella would be. I have a lovely, light chicken sausage that I may dice and add next time to change the flavor profile a bit (we're from Louisiana... a paella and jambalaya are so very similar!), but on the whole we loved this exactly as it's written. I WILL make this again!
LDombeck Posted: 01/19/12
As far as paellas go, this is a decent substitute. When I make an authentic paella, it takes me 1.5-2 hours, so this is definitely much easier and faster. Some reviews complained about the price of saffron, which is understandable since it's worth more than gold per ounce. I have found very reasonably priced saffron at Trader Joe's if that is an option for others. I would add more veggies and garlic like other reviews suggested. Maybe a little less lemon juice for me next time too. If you want a paella, w/o actually taking the time in making a real one, this is it!
foodieforpeace Posted: 02/10/12
We liked this a lot more than others did. We did make some changes for our taste: Increased peppers, garlic, peas and onions. Used a bag of organic brown rice so eliminated the broth. Added cayenne (about 1/8-1/4 tsp). Served on its own. So good.
cdopi4 Posted: 01/20/12
For as expensive as saffron is, I thought this recipe would be a sure thing because I trust the recipes at Cooking Light. Always make the recipe as directed the first time and then adjust to my taste the next. Too many good recipes like this out there; don't make this one!
icancookthat Posted: 01/19/12
I suggest using normal rice instead of minute rice so that the flavor has time to soak in. Check out my post and other changes here: http://www.icancookthat.org/2012/01/thirty-minute-paella.html
kayakGirl21 Posted: 02/26/12
The only thing I can say about this recipe was that it was edible and that was only for the night it was made. The leftovers were even worse and were pitched. There just wasn't any good flavor at all and the way they had you prepare it overcooked the shrimp.
FluteLoverAndy Posted: 06/01/12
I read a lot of reviews, negative and positive, and decided to make it somewhere in the middle. I did heaping measurements of everything but the peas, rice, and broth, which I followed recipe for. This is how I made it: Simmer rice for 15min with 2c broth and spices. Cook onion, garlic, pepper, shrimp. Add to rice w/ oregano, let simmer a few minutes. Add peas and lemon juice and let sit with the lid on while the peas de-freeze. Even though I added extra spices, I will definitely double them next time. Half teaspoon of saffron, paprika, pepper, 3/4 of salt, 2+ tsp oregano. One cup onion and (red) bell pepper, 2+ tsp garlic, 3TB lemon juice, 1 1/2 c peas. No extra shrimp or rice is needed. The recipe was a bit bland although I enjoyed it. My dad is super sensitive to spice, and he said something tasted hot, so I guess you could taste the spices if you wanted to. Leftovers taste yummy too, especially if you heat it up. I love rice and shrimp, and, overall, this was not a bad recipe.

carolfitz Posted: 03/06/12
Superfast. Had to modify steps & amount of rice/broth because we don't use instant rice. So started with spices & 2c broth at a boil, added 1c rice, low simmer for 15min. While that was going, cooked the onion, pepper & shrimp to direction and added that & oregano to the rice pot & left to simmer for last 5min (20min total for the rice). Removed from heat, added the peas & juice and let sit for just a couple minutes off the burner. Not bad.
annwithane Posted: 03/10/12
My daughter and husband and I loved this! This recipe is a keeper! I followed instructions as is except for a few tweaks, as suggested by some of the other reviewers. I added 1/2 pound of turkey sausage. Cooked 1 cup regular long grain white rice with instant chicken boullion while I was sauteeing everything else--when the rice was done I added the frozen peas directly to the saucepan with the rice--gave the peas a few minutes to thaw before mixing all the cooked ingredients together. Did not add saffron (had some in my pantry but it had expired) and didn't miss it--I deglazed the skillet after browning the sausage and that gave it plenty of flavor along with a little cayenne. The fresh oregano and lemon juice made the dish! Wholesome and Yum!
bellylaughing Posted: 03/07/12
BLAND, BLAND, BLAND, but giving 2 stars because it has potential to be a decent fast and easy dish (Notice I say "decent"; still not amazing). I recommend the following changes: Cook some nice Basmati or Jasmine rice first and then stir in with everything else towards the end of cooking. TRIPLE THE ONION, TRIPLE THE GARLIC, TRIPLE THE SAFFRON, TRIPLE THE SALT AND PEPPER, USE SMOKED PAPRIKA (AND TRIPLE THAT TOO). I used roasted red peppers (from a jar-drained) instead of green pepper, which I recommend. Add a few good shakes of cayenne (I don't even like much heat, but it needs it). Can use dried oregano; maybe 2 teaspoons or so. Serve with fresh cilantro (or parsley, if you prefer). Juice of 2 lemons seemed right.

Jesper Office Jesper Office Professional 100 Series Low Bookcase 3229
Kathleen from EDGARTOWN, MA– Verified Buyer
Sturdy, nice finish, easy to put together, good value for price
Great Product
Scott from Franklin, TN– Verified Buyer
In reality, these are between the junk you might find at a big box hardware store and something you would get at an expensive furniture store. Very sturdy and well made, and they look terrific also. We wanted something that was low and wouldn't dominate a room. They are great for books or DVDs, and are at a height that allows nik-naks to be placed on top and still allow artwork to be placed on tje wall. We bought two of them and liked them so well we bought another! They look great lined up together. Very easy assembly, which is a good thing!
Shelly from Los Angeles, CA– Verified Buyer
Use in home office. I purchased two for a low side-by-side bookcase. It is a well-crafted piece of furniture. I especially appreciate the clear instructions and the ease of assembly. I would highly recommend this bookcase.
Not real veneer
lbg from Venice, CA– Verified Buyer
These bookshelves are definitely sturdy, and not bad for an engineered wood product. But the image and product description make it sound as if the manufacturer uses real wood veneer. It's evident from the greyish color (I got the "Walnut") and lack of sheen that these are clearly plastic/laminate that's made to look like veneer and they look cheap in comparison to the real walnut that furnishes the rest of our living room and office. But they're the right shape and size, so we're keeping them nonetheless.
Excellent bookcase
TammyTing from Tampa, FL.
Our kids are very pleased with their new bookcases. We ordered them 2 of these for their playroom to store toys and books and they work perfectly for this job. The kids got to assemble them on their own and carry them into their play room. Big success and nice to be able to organize their things plus the bookcases looks beautiful.
Good Stuff
Lenex from Houston, TX.
Great bookcase, we ordered 3 of these for our Living room and they hold up nicely. The center shelf is adjustable which is great. It took us about 15 minuttes to assemble the bookcases and it was no problem.
Good Value
Brandon from San Diego
The Pro X low bookcase holds up great, we ordered it in the dark coffee color and it matches our decor perfectly. I especially like the wood structure in the top, very nice for the money.
Good Construction
W.W from Seattle, WA.
Good product for the money. I like the construction and how easy if was to assemble. We use the bookcase in our office and it hold's up well.
Nice wood finish
H.Bales from Las Vegas, NV.
My wife ordered 2 of these low bookcases for our study room and I must admit that I like them a lot. The cherry wood finish looks great and they were easy to assemble.

There's undoubtedly something special about clothing that fulfills multiple purposes; protection from the elements AND adherence to one's personal style. As a hardcore gamer you might assume that I'd wear a ton of gaming gear, but I overall, I haven't been able to find videogame inspired clothing that I'd actually wear. And then it hit me, why don't I make my own? They wonderful people at Tshirtprinting.org hooked me up with a custom Gamer Girl Tay T-shirt that I just had to share.
Make a statement in the absolute best way possible with a shirt that features exactly what you want in exactly the way you want. It's as easy as uploading the image of your choice, and Tshirtprinting.org takes care of the rest. The shirt fits like a dream, and I'm so proud to be able to showcase my site's logo wherever I go. Whether your planning on showing off a company logo or a making a gaming inspired outfit come to life in preparation for E3, it's as easy as visiting their site and taking the next step.
Connect with my friends at Tshirtprinting.org, and see what awesome creations they can make for you. What do you think of their handiwork, nice right?
