I am very new to cooking.
I can boil rice, but it tastes too bland. Is there anything else I can add to it, to make it taste better?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Three ways:
A relative (the wife of a French chef) suggested using cheesecloth to put anything you want in the rice. You could put:
A very simple addition: salt.
Lots of people don't add it, but I can tell if rice was cooked with or without it by looking at it (the other half constantly forgets), never mind by taste.
Salty foods also help. Plain rice and soy sauce is really nice IMO.
Add some Alfredo sauce; it tastes good.
If you have some left over rice you can turn it into a meal in itself by making egg fried rice. Start with cold boiled rice, some egg and some spring onions or scallions. Fry the rice, egg and onions together then sprinkle with a generous helping of soy sauce.
Indian's make a nice rice dish called Biryani that is rice cooked in yogurt and spices with a little meat.
When I was in England, my mother would sometimes add some diced carrot, turnip and peas to the rice as it cooked.
In China, it is common to make a rice porridge. After cooking the rice, add more hot water and a few pickles or dried fruits and either a little salt or, as I prefer, a little sugar.
If you are really stuck, just pouring some tomato ketchup over rice is a quick and easy way to make it taste good.
Basically, you can add flavor during the cooking process, or after the cooking process. During the cooking process, you can substitute or replace some of the water with other liquids. As suggested above, stocks and broths are delicious, as are fruit or vegetable juices. A pat or two of butter is also a delicious addition to cooking liquid. Also, you can add small amounts of spices such as cinnamon, turmeric, or even a favorite spice mix. There are a lot of varieties you could invent.
After cooking the rice, adding a sauce, sprinkling of herbs or spices, or mixing it with another food will complement the flavor. A nice Asian touch is dried seaweed (also called Laver). You could try a few drops of sesame oil, or butter and sugar. You could pour on sriracha, or mix with Korean pepper paste (gochujang). You could mix with pre-cooked vegetables, bits of egg, or fruit or nuts. Again, lots of varieties you could invent.
The beauty of the plainness of the rice is that it tastes simple as it is, or can be a clean base for a variety of flavours.
My wife being Chinese we eat a lot of rice. Within the range of white rice there are many differences. Choose a nice rice (don't go for the expensive one in the supermarket but go for the 10 Kg bag in the Chinese / Asian shop (We personally use Thai Perfumed Rice)). Also choose a rice that is sold as "new rice" from last years harvest.
The absolute biggest mistake to make is "instant/quick rice". That is actually precooked in the factory, a process that makes rice really dry and blant, however hard they try to stop that.
Also, to taste up rice you can add some stock or just some (white) wine, but in general just cooking a proper rice well will be plenty of taste.
You already got a lot of responses for rice dishes. I'll add a way to make plain tasty rice.
There are rices which have great taste by themselves - use Basmati or Jasmine rice. Use the proper amount of water - water must evaporate completely. Rice is cooked in cold water. Add only salt. When it's cooked, mix in a bit of butter. That's it - a basic, plain, simple and tasty rice. :)
I flavor my rice depending on what it is going with.
You can have a lot of fun flavoring rice because it infuses very easily.
Using zest from citrus (lemon, lime, orange, etc) is a great way to punch up the flavor of white rice.
I will usually add the zest before cooking (with plenty of salt) and then add the juice of the fruit after cooking is complete.
A very nice way is to cook the rice in 1/2 coconut milk, 1/2 water and add a few stalks of lemongrass.
This adds a delicate sweetness that should be offset by a spicy sauce.
Just boiled rice with the powder of the Urad dal (split Matpe or beluga beans), salt and olive oil.. what a delicious food on earth.
An easy way to enhance rice is adding some chopped coriander just before serving will give an oriental taste to it and feels very fresh.
Or you can play with other herbs, like dill, parsley, onions,...
I always find rice a disappointment when I am out and about, because people boil it. Growing up I never had plain boiled rice, as my family always made an onion rice, like a pilau.
This needs a wide lidded saute/frying pan, say 10-12" wide, 2" deep.
Chop a large onion, soften in butter, wash 1/2 pint basmati rice till water runs clean (in a sieve), then toss with onion to coat rice, then add twice as much stock (chicken or vegetable) as rice and put a lid on, wait till water absorbed, no stirring!
Add saffron with the stock to make it nicer still.
Add a small amount of mirin or rice vinegar for a tangy zing.
There are countless ways to make rice more flavorful. Some of the techniques I use follow:
Also consider a different type of rice. I presume you're using standard long- or medium-grain white rice. My favorite type of rice is Jasmine rice, which has a more enjoyable flavor and aroma than the standard issue white rice. Also, Basmati rice is nice to have every now and then; it's longer, drier, and less sticky than the standard white rice.
Try cooking your rice with a flavorful liquid. My favorite is homemade chicken/vegetable stock, but you can buy any kind of chicken or beef broth at the store and it will add a lot of flavor as well. You could also try experimenting with combinations of other liquids, such as wines and vinegars. A pat of butter will also help add some flavor.
Another option is to spice the water. When you buy packets of "ready to go" rice, such as Rice-A-Roni, think of the instructions - pour rice, spice blend, and water into pan, and simmer. You can take the same idea and use any spices you want (depending on what flavor combinations will work with the rest of your meal).
In my house, it's actually OK if the rice isn't very flavorful for some of the dishes I make - it's like bread, in that it's a base for the meal, not the star. White rice is a perfect base for Chicken Adobo or a simple stir fry, for example.
spices ? sauteeing is super easy too. you can sautee veggies, etc., and toss them in.


text: Guerlain Extrait de Rose (262) Shine Automatique Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a "fuchsia pink." It's a brightened medium pink with silver and fuchsia sparkle. Revlon Lollipop is much more fuchsia and brighter. MAC Pink Burst is similar but a bit brighter. Chanel Belgravia is lighter. It's almost a neutral pink; it's very subtly cool-toned, but the brightness counteracts that so it should be wearable across many skin tones.Read Full Review

This double-cased Altiplano Double Jeu watch has been crafted in honour of the most emblematic Parisian monument. In the foreground, the arches of the Eiffel Tower frame an hourglass filled with flowing, tiny gold balls. This stunning watchmaker's creation measures today's time while giving a subtle nod to the past. It is illuminated by diamonds to sparkle just like the famous Tower that twinkles throughout the night.
838P movement
A variation on the 830P movement, the 838P movement is an ultra-thin hand-wound mechanical movement with an increased power reserve compared to its predecessors, and measuring only 2.5 mm thick. It is a direct descendant of the legendary 9P movement and belongs to the third generation of ultra-thin movements created by the watchmaker Piaget. The movement is enhanced with a screw balance, as befits an example of Fine Watchmaking. While losing none of the extreme finesse inherited from the 830P movement, the 838P movement is distinguished by the addition of an off-centred small seconds indication at 10 o'clock, the true hallmark of Piaget. Finally, the circular Côtes de Genève, circular-grained mainplate, bevelled bridges, blued screws and engraved Piaget coat-of-arms round off this exceptional movement, while remaining true to the aesthetic codes cherished by the Swiss watchmaking brand.

Final Rule - Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Listing of Substitutes for Ozone-Depleting Substances – Hydrocarbon Refrigerants
This rulemaking lists three hydrocarbon substitutes as acceptable, subject to use conditions, for ozone-depleting refrigerants such as CFC-12, HCFC-22, and R-502 in two end-uses: household food refrigerators and freezers and retail food refrigerators and freezers (stand-alone units only). The updates to the listings are as follows:
§ Isobutane (R-600a) as a refrigerant in new household refrigerators, freezers, or combination refrigerator and freezers;
§ R-441A as a refrigerant in new household refrigerators, freezers, and combination refrigerators and freezers; and
§ Propane (R-290) as a refrigerant in new retail food refrigerators and freezers (stand-alone units only).
· Under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program (Section 612 of the Clean Air Act), EPA reviews alternatives to ozone-depleting substances (ODS) to find substitutes that pose less overall risk to human health and the environment.
· These provisions are designed to allow for additional alternatives and do not impose regulatory burdens beyond use conditions designed to ensure safe handling of flammable compounds. The three hydrocarbon substitutes are not ozone-depleting, and they have low global warming potentials.
· Hydrocarbons are already widely used as refrigerants in refrigerators and freezers in Europe and Asia.
· Hydrocarbons have significantly lower global warming potentials than the ODS or hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) currently used in these applications.

This story was updated at 4:58 p.m. on March 5, 2013.
Kirk Johnson lifted a shovel off the rack at the Home Depot on Shady Grove Road Tuesday morning and dragged it along the store's concrete floor, testing how well the tool would work during the storm.
"I need something that will pick up the snow and not just push it," said Johnson, who purchased two shovels for his business, Rockville-based Johnson Hydro Seeding.
Shovels and salt are selling fast at the Gaithersburg location, assistant manager Ellen Carlson said. The store opened at 6 a.m., she said, though customers started clearing the shelves Monday night in preparation for the storm.
"They're taking this a lot more seriously" than the previous forecasts this season, Carlson said, noting that no more snow supplies will be ordered for the season.
An email from Alert Montgomery on Tuesday afternoon said Montgomery County is in a winter-storm warning from midnight Wednesday morning until 3 a.m. on Thursday. The storm is expected to start as rain Tuesday evening but change over into snow late evening, the email said.
The county could see 2 to 4 inches of snow Tuesday night and an additional 4 to 6 inches Wednesday, the email said, and wind gusts could be as high as 35 mph.
Work gloves, snow blowers, window scrapers and firewood were also lining the shelves. About nine types of generators were available at the store for between $500 and $1,000, though Home Depot staff said customers don't tend to purchase generators until they lose power.
Pepco already has gone into "storm mode," Pepco spokesman Marcus Beal said. He said more than 450 line contractors and 300 tree contractors will be working in the utility's service area, which encompasses the District, and Montgomery and Prince George's counties.
Pepco is closely monitoring the weather and is making sure staff is prepared. About 250 crews have been secured from other utilities, traveling from as far as Alabama and Georgia, he said.
"This is a major event, and it may cause some significant damage to our system," Beal said.
Customer call centers for Pepco are fully staffed and will be operating overnight, Beal said.
The storm is supposed to bring heavy, wet snow, which can cause damage to tree limbs and down power lines, Beal said.
Montgomery County will determine if county offices are closed between 4 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. Wednesday, said Esther Bowring, spokespwoman for the county. She said up-to-date information on closings will be available on the county website.
Montgomery County Public Schools will determine by 5 a.m. Wednesday if schools will be closed.
Closures are posted on the school system's home page, www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org, and broadcast on the school system's cable TV channel 34 for Comcast, channel 36 for Verizon FIOS and channel 89 for RCN.
Prince George's County agencies have issued alerts to notify residents of possible power outages and difficult driving conditions while the storm watch is in effect.
According to NWS, the area could see five inches or more of snow accumulation, with temperatures in the mid 30's and wind gusts up to 25 miles per hour.
The Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department is preparing for high call volumes for emergencies, and fire officials are reminding residents how to stay safe.
"Stay safe by keeping fire safety and injury prevention a priority in your activities," said Mark Brady, chief spokesman for the fire/EMS department. "It's important to remember that fire apparatus and ambulances will be slower to respond to your emergencies due to the weather and hazardous driving conditions."
Brady said residents should ensure that cell phones and electronic devices are fully charged and said residents should also check their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors before the storm arrives.
He also advised residents to stay indoors and avoid roads if possible.
"Reduced traffic on roadways will allow public works crews an opportunity to clear a path that can be used by first responders to handle emergencies," he said.
Rhonda Jackson, a spokeswoman for the Prince George's Office of Emergency Management, said county officials are waiting to see what path the storm will take before determining if an emergency operation command center will be set up and if there will be any emergency shelters opening.
"It's still a little early to say what we might get. We may get the bulk of the rain or we may get some snow," she said. "We're telling residents to take precautionary measures in case we see the worst."
The State Highway Administration has pre-treated many of the roads with salt and have cleared storm drains to prepare for the storm, spokesman David Buck said Tuesday. While salt will be extremely effective throughout the storm, Buck said that with 6 inches to 10 inches of snow, SHA's goal is to plow snow within eight to 10 hours after the storm ends.
On Tuesday, state and county emergency services personnel were busy prepping for the storm.
Maryland State Police warned motorists of the possibility of dangerous driving conditions.
"If you find it necessary to travel, make sure your vehicle is in good working condition and have an emergency roadside kit in your vehicle," a State Police statement advised in advance of the storm.
Montgomery County Police Capt. Paul Starks said county police officers were prepared.
Officers were being asked to make sure their gas tanks were full and that their cars were in top shape, he said, adding that coordinators of the department's vehicle fleet were readying the force's all-wheel and four-wheel resources, should they be needed.
As with other weather emergencies, officers would be responding to traffic calls and help keep roads safe, Starks said, reminding motorists to drive carefully. If they come across street lights that aren't functioning, they should treat intersections as four-way stops, he said.
Gaithersburg City Manager Tony Tomasello issued a snow emergency starting at 11 p.m. Tuesday, according to a city press release. The city is asking residents to remove cars from snow emergency routes and cul-de-sacs during the snow emergency. Failure to comply could result in ticketing and towing, the release said, and bulk pickup for the city for Wednesday is canceled. Regular recycling will be held as scheduled Wednesday pending an assessment of weather conditions in the morning, according to the release.
The city also reminds residents, property managers and businesses to clear snow and ice from sidewalks abutting their property within 12 hours of the last snowfall or freeze.
The city of Rockville plans to declare a storm emergency on Tuesday to get cars off of the street, said Craig Simoneau, director of public works for the city. The city is doing all of its normal preparation, including 24-hour operations beginning at 11 p.m. Tuesday night, pre-treating roads on Monday and Tuesday, making sure vehicles are ready and arranging hotel accommodations for crews that live outside the area, he said.
About 30 people are on hand to help with storm control in the city and all have been briefed on Monday and Tuesday to prepare for the storm, Simoneau said.
In Frederick City, Mayor Randy McClement is expected to declare a snow emergency, effective at midnight tonight.
In an effort to provide relief to both city residents and the city snow crews who are clearing streets during the snow event, all five city parking decks will be open for free parking after 8 p.m. today. The city recommends residents use the West Patrick Street Parking Deck and East All Saints Street Deck.
Frederick County residents can get up-to-date information via the county website at www.frederickcountymd.gov, the FCG TV channel 19 and through social media outlets, according to Frederick County Spokeswoman Robin Santangelo.
Highway crews are expected to start treating roadways around midnight, she said.
"It is too warm now to pretreat the roads. It is not the most effective use of our resources," Santangelo said. "We have to use our resources and time even more carefully than we have before."
Roads that are impassable will be listed on the county wesbiste at www.frederickcountymd.gov/roadsclosed, Santagelo said.
Residents are also being reminded to sign up for the Emergency Alert program for immediate information on weather instructions and closings- www.FrederickCountyMD.gov/ALERTS.
The town of Poolesville has six plows — four one-ton trucks and two five-ton trucks — ready to clear about 20 miles of road around the town, Town Manager Wade Yost said.
Snow removal will begin Tuesday at midnight, and any cars parked on emergency snow routes — which include Wootton Avenue, Spates Hill Road, Westerly Avenue, Hoskinson Road and Hughes Road — must be moved or they will be towed, Yost said in an email.
At the Monday Takoma Park City Council meeting, acting city manager Suzanne Ludlow asked residents not to park on the streets if possible to allow easier passage for snow plows. Takoma Park residents can check takomaparkmd.gov for closings or call the Inclement Weather hotline at 301-891-7101 x5605.
Daryl Braithwaite, director of public works for Takoma Park, said city plow drivers were sent home Tuesday afternoon so they could be fresh for a midnight shift, which will include six drivers, one supervisor and one mechanic.
Montgomery County Fire and Rescue said most winter storm deaths result from vehicle and transportation accidents caused by ice and snow, and advise residents to stay off the road during inclement weather. They also ask residents to monitor the weather by listening to local radio and television stations, sign up for text alerts from local government and sign up for weather alerts from NOAA and the National Weather Service.
MARC is monitoring the winter storm but had not made any operational decisions about service for March 6 as of noon on Tuesday. MARC anticipates operating on its usual schedule with full service.
When snowfall exceeds 8 inches, Metro may suspend above-ground rail service. In Montgomery County, above ground stations include the Red Line from the Grosvenor-Strathmore station to the end of the line at Shady Grove, and the Silver Spring Station to the end of the line at Glenmont. The only below-ground station in Montgomery County is in Bethesda.
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority did not immediately respond to questions about closure decisions.

Community Bank of Tri-County is proud to support The Arc of Southern Maryland, Cedar Lane Senior Living Community, Spring Dell Center and the King George Food Bank through participation in the Casual for a Cause program. Casual for a Cause is an annual program designed by Community Bank to help support local organizations while allowing employees to dress casually during the summer.
"This is the ninth year Community Bank has participated in Casual for a Cause and I am pleased to see the generosity of our employees," said Michael Middleton, Community Bank of Tri-County CEO and chairman of the board, in a press release. "This year we raised $6,000. Each year, we look to our Casual for a Cause program to help bring our employees together with a common goal of making a real difference in the communities we serve. This is a great way to encourage our employees to give to a good cause."
As in years past, any employee who participated in Casual for a Cause by making a donation was entitled to "casual dress" for the three-month period from Memorial Day through Labor Day, the release states.
"I'm delighted and grateful to the Community Bank of Tri-County employees for recognizing and valuing the service we provide. I think it's absolutely wonderful that they thought of us" said Harriet Yaffe, executive director of The Arc of Southern Maryland, in the release.
The Arc of Southern Maryland has been serving the communities of Calvert, Charles and St. Mary's County for 38 years, according to the release. Its is to promote community involvement, independence and personal success for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Through donations and the help of volunteers, The Arc of Southern Maryland has been able to provide the services these children and adults need to give them as much control over their own lives as possible.

Drivers at the Mercy of Crude Prices
America is pumping more oil out of the ground than it has in years thanks to a surge in onshore drilling. U.S. refineries are producing more gasoline and diesel than ever.

My name is Taryn and I am a fourth year Sociology student here at Queen's! I'm extremely excited to be entering my second year with the PASS team this year and look forward to meeting with new students as they navigate their way through their first year of university. I'm originally from Toronto and adore everything the city has to offer. I hope to pursue a Master's degree in Social Work post-grad and hope to be accepted to The University of Toronto to be in the heart of the city while completing my second degree. PASS was an essential part of my first year experience as I attempted to pave the path that would be the continuation of my time at Queen's – to find the major, course work and material that inspired and engaged my interests. I sincerely look forward to being able to help other first years make those important, rewarding decisions that will engage their interests and passions during the continuation of their studies here at Queen's!
Hello and welcome to Queen's!

I will be writing an honours thesis in Dr. Wilson's Attention Lab and volunteering as a Gecko leader for NEWTS Orientation. This will be my second year working with PASS and I am excited to help you with any questions you might have.
Drop in any time, we are friendly!

Welcome to Queens! My name is Brandon and I am currently in my fifth year as a Sociology major.

In my spare time, you can find me watching House of Cards and Friends re-runs as well as hanging out with my friends at QP. This is my first year as a PASS advisor, and I cannot be more thrilled!

Hey everyone! My name is Diandra and I am in my fourth year here at Queen's. I am originally from Toronto, but enjoy Kingston as my home away from home. I am a Biology major and Gender Studies minor and it is my third year on P.A.S.S. (clearly I love it!)

Hey Froshies!
My name is Ankita and I am currently a third year Linguistics major, Psychology minor. I'm from Toronto, so although I haven't had to move that far away from home, coming to Kingston was a huge change. However, this city and Queen's has become a second home to me and I absolutely love it. I can't wait to meet you all and help Queen's become your second home as well! The one thing that I have learned in my last two years here is that there is much more to do than just being an academic student. Besides from being a student, I love travelling, volunteering and trying new things. So my one piece of advice to you is get involved in as many things as you can so that you can learn and grow, not just as an academic, but as a person.
I hope to see you all at the P.A.S.S office this year!
Hello Froshies!
My name is Shani Rathuge and I am very excited to be joining the PASS team this year! I am in my second year in Concurrent Education pursuing a major in French and a minor in Geography. I'm from Toronto and in my spare time I enjoy reading and eating (but to be honest who doesn't?).
Since I'm just entering my second year, I can vividly recall the adjustment that was first year. However remember that first year is far from insurmountable! If you every feel stressed or confused, please stop by the PASS office. Every question deserves an answer, and I hope that I and the other advisors are able to answer your inquiries!
Hey First Years! Welcome to Queen's! My name is Patrick, and I am 3rd year Geography and Religious Studies (Medial) student.

I'm so excited to be a PASS volunteer and can't wait to see you. Unfortunately I won't be able to see any of you until Winter 2015 because of exchange, but once I return I can't wait to help! Besides being a student, I've also volunteered for the ASUS Good Times Diner, Residence Society, and ASUS Orientation Week. Being part of the Queen's community is so fulfilling, so get involved! Transitioning from high school to university can be hard, and we all want to make it as easy as possible for you. Coming to Queen's was a great decision, you'll love it here! See you in the PASS office!
Welcome first years! My name is Jordan Davis and I'm currently a third year Life Science Specialization student. My home is in Aurora, Ontario but I originally lived in Toronto. In the summer, I like to go bass fishing and watch the Toronto Blue Jays (who it seems are finally having a good season). While at Queen's, I try to enjoy the many great experiences available to me through some of the extracurricular activities that Queens has to offer. Last year, I volunteered for the Queen's Health and Human Rights Conference, I joined the Queen's Association for Technology in Medicine and Biology, and I participated in Brain Day. I also played some intramural sports which I highly recommend for everyone.
It hasn't been that long since I was starting first year. Although coming to university might seem a little intimidating and confusing at first, we are happy to help you through it by answering any questions you might have. I look forward to meeting you all and I wish you an awesome first year at Queen's!
Welcome to Queen's! My name is Kim and I'm currently in my 5th year completing a second degree (BA) with a concentration in German. My first degree was a Bachelor of Science (Honours) with a major in Biology and minor in Psychology. I'm from the small town of Bancroft, Ontario, where I learned (and almost perfected) the art of swatting mosquitoes.
The Queen's community is unparalleled, and in my time here I've tried to experience as much as I could. I've been involved in several orientation weeks, volunteer with the Engineering Rugby Club, and am also working full-time for the Student Life Centre, part of the AMS. I'm incredibly excited to meet all of you, and help answer any questions you may have.
Hi! My name is Courtney Sims and I will be going into my third year as a politics major and an environmental studies minor. Queen's is a great place to meet people, in my spare time you can find me sitting at one the front desks of Res or organizing events for Queen's Model United Nations. I love helping people and look forward to meeting you guys in September. If you ever have any questions, I'd love to answer them! Welcome to Queen's.
Hey ArtSci first years! My name is Leah Hayes and I am just entering my third year at Queen's University. Before I moved to Kingston I lived in Mississauga, Ontario with my older brother and parents. I am officially studying Biology but I also have an interest Psychology and Health. As you can probably tell, coming into first year I was a little confused about what I wanted to do. With the help of friends and family as well as from the support that Queen's offer I was able to figure out what I wanted to do and be able to take all the courses that interested me. Last year I was fortunate enough to have the position of a Gael during orientation week and I realized then that helping out you first years was a great way to spend some of my free time. Aside from helping you out I also enjoy wakeboarding, snowboarding, sailing, and just being active in general. I enjoy shopping, reading, and just relaxing with friends as well. I hope you all enjoy your first year at the best school there is. If you have any questions at all don't hesitate to come see us at the P.A.S.S office! See you soon!
Hello ArtSci First Years! My name is Giselle and I am a third year Life Science Student with a Psych minor. I hail from beautiful British Columbia and although I miss the west coast (best coast), I love Queens and Kingston and can't wait to meet all of you and answer your questions. Aside from being one of the thousand doctor hopefuls, I am interested in writing, travelling and of course eating good food. This past summer I was in South Africa doing a medical internship and it was simply amazing - highlight was riding an ostrich! I am however very excited to return to Queen's. Although it's my third year, I remember the overwhelming yet exciting experience which is first year, and my one word of advice is that if you are worried or curious about anything, just ask. So please stop by the P.A.S.S. office in your first year!
Hello everyone! My name is Michael and I'm a third year Life Science SSP student from Richmond Hill, Ontario. This is my second year with PASS and I'm excited to see some new faces. Aside from PASS, I'm also VP of the Queen's/Kingston Jugglers' Club and a volunteer for The Arthritis Society. In my spare time you may find me juggling obscure objects in City Park or playing 9-ball. I encourage you to explore the variety of things this university and city has to offer in your first year because eight months will be over before you know it. Welcome to the Queen's community and I look forward to meeting all of you!
Hey everyone! My name is Bailey, and I'm a 3rd year Arts and Science student currently majoring in English and minoring in History. I'm from Whitby, which is about 45 minutes East of Toronto, but I've also lived in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and now, of course, Kingston. After undergrad, I'm hoping to go to teacher's college and be a high school English teacher, and eventually I want to travel and teach all over the world. Aside from P.A.S.S, I'm also the Co-Outreach director for Queen's Dance Club and work at Walkhome. In my spare time, you can find me throwing my own personal dance parties, singing way too loudly and off-key to music, and reading… there is also usually a coffee in my hand no matter what I'm doing. I'm so excited to see you start your new lives at Queen's and to meet you all, so don't be shy to drop by P.A.S.S. See you all soon!
Hi! My name is Rachel and I am a 4th year Biology major from Calgary. Last year, I spent a semester abroad in France but I am thrilled to be back on campus for another amazing year. This is my third year being a Peer Advisor and I got involved with PASS because I learned too many things the hard way in first year, mainly because I did not know where to get help. But that is what I am here for now! So stop by the Arts and Science office if you have any questions because I will either be able to help you or at least point you in the right direction! Besides being a Pass Advisor, I am a campus tour guide (so feel free to ask me about some fun Queen's facts), the chair of the Canadian Undergraduate Conference on Healthcare (CUCOH), and involved with the Bio DSC (Department Student Council). Don't know how you can get involved or worried about balancing academics and extracurricular activities? Come in and ask because I would love to talk about how you can get the most out of your academic and non-academic life at Queen's.
Hello ArtScis! My name is Jia Tanwani and I am a second year Life Sciences student. In my first year of university I was the interim ASUS representative to the AMS, and was a member of QISA Dance team and Queen's Yoga Club. I also volunteered at Kingston General Hospital and was a volunteer tutor for high school students. The first year of university is an exciting but stressful time. Thankfully, Queen's has many student resources to help you cope with the personal and academic troubles you may face throughout your university career. PASS is one of these excellent student resources, so please do not hesitate to come in and talk to us. We are always willing to lend a helping hand so make sure to visit us in Dunning. Cha Gheill!
Hi there and welcome to Queen's! My name is Jade Ferguson, and I am currently a second year student pursuing a Medial degree in Health Studies and Psychology. I am from a very small town, about 45 minutes west of Ottawa, called Pakenham. I have grown to love Kingston and all it has to offer. I participate in the Queen's Dance Club and I am a big supporter of living a healthy lifestyle. Autumn is my favorite season, and Queen's campus is absolutely beautiful during this time of year. In my spare time I love socializing with friends and enjoying all the activities of Queen's.
As a first year student, university can be very overwhelming, but it is important to balance your school work and fun activities. P.A.S.S helped me so much in my first year, and I hope to be able to do the same for you! I look forward to meeting you all and do not hesitate to drop by the office with any questions you have, or if you just want to chat!
Hi everyone! I'm Maggie and I'm in my fourth year here at Queen's. I major in English and minor in French. I volunteer with both PASS and The Writing Centre in Stauffer. I'm very excited to have the opportunity to meet you all and help you out however I can, especially since I'm thinking about pursuing a career in teaching. Please stop by the PASS office if you need anything, and I will do my best to help you tackle any academic issues you may have. Have a great year!!
Levi (Coordinator)
Hey, Class of 2018! My name's Levi, and I'm thrilled to be a part of PASS again this year as a Coordinator! I'm from Ottawa, and I'm in my third year of a specialization in physics. Also, I'm in Con-Ed, in the Intermediate-Senior division, with my teachables being physics and math. In addition to PASS, some other things that I'll be doing on campus this year include volunteering with the Academic Grievance Centre and the Concurrent Education Students' Association, and playing intramural innertube water-polo – if you haven't played it before, you definitely need to give it a try!
Not that I'm biased or anything, but PASS is a really, really, really great resource. We are reserved strictly for first-year Arts and Science students (you!), and all of the Peer Advisors are very knowledgeable about course selection, using SOLUS, picking degree plans, and more! All of us are upper-year ArtScis, so we've been over the same bumps that you may go over throughout the year. The Peer Advisors are all super friendly and would be happy for you to drop by our cubicle in Dunning Hall, or to answer your questions at firstname.lastname@example.com. We're specifically here for you; take advantage of it!
Congratulations on choosing Queen's, and welcome to Arts and Science!
Rebecca (Coordinator)
My name is Rebecca Hoadley and I am one of the PASS Coordinators for 2014-2015, and I am excited to get this academic year started! I was a volunteer with this great service last year and I am looking forward to being a part of it again for another year.
I am a fourth year student majoring in English Literature and have other academic interests in Psychology and Linguistics. I have also partaken in a variety of extracurricular activities that Queen's has to offer such as Art Club and intermurals. Originally from Whitby, Ontario, I am glad to call Kingston and Queen's University my home.
This service is helpful because the PASS Team is made up of upper year students, so we have all been in your shoes and have had similar questions about academic concerns. These amazing volunteers will be able to help with questions about enrolment, adding/dropping courses, academic appeals and much more! This is going to be an exciting year for all of you first year students and I know the whole PASS Team can't wait to help with your first year experience!

How do you cope when someone you love is ill and needs to have vital signs monitored daily? If a parent or other loved one is suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes, or perhaps congestive heart failure, you know how their condition can change day-to-day.
United Visiting Nurse Association's Telemonitoring Service is the answer to your prayers. With this all-inclusive system, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugars, and even the symptoms your parent feels can all be monitored and evaluated right at home.
A United VNA nurse will bring you the medical equipment needed to perform these simple procedures, show you and your loved one how to use the equipment and demonstrate how to send the results to your nurse over your telephone line. The nurse then provides this information to your physician.
In this way, your United VNA nurse and physician receive a steady stream of accurate and timely data about your parent's condition and can tell quickly if he or she needs a change in treatment. The system will even alert your nurse when your loved one needs special attention, so he or she will get the necessary care when it's needed.
The United VNA Home Telemonitoring Service is covered by Medicare for those who are acutely ill and are being treated under a physician-ordered home care plan. You can also pay privately on a monthly basis
For more information, please call Dariel Muldoon, United VNA, at 330-5419.

Fancy a side dish?
Olive, caper & feta salad: Tear 1 romaine lettuce into a large bowl. Scatter over 1 thinly sliced small red onion, ½ cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks, a good handful of kalamata olives and 2 tbsp capers. Whisk together 1 tbsp red wine vinegar with 3 tbsp olive oil, drizzle over, then top with 100g crumbled feta.
Know-how: Orzo
The Italian word orzo means barley. When cooked, it has a texture similar to risotto rice. Look for it in the specialist sections of supermarkets, or in Greek, Italian and Middle Eastern delis. It can go by a variety of other names including puntaletti and romarino. If you can't find it, use another small pasta, like trofie.
Mary says...
Relaxed, easy entertaining is always top of my list. Simply put the dish in the centre of the table for everyone to help themselves. Add some good crusty bread and side salad, and you have a real feast
To freeze
Freeze at the end of step 2. Defrost in the fridge overnight, then return to the casserole and bring slowly to the boil. Add a little water if it looks dry. Stir in the orzo, cover and bake for 20 mins.
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Cut the lamb into 4cm chunks, then spread over the base of a large, wide casserole dish. Add the onions, oregano, cinnamon sticks, ground cinnamon and olive oil, then stir well. Bake, uncovered, for 45 mins, stirring halfway.
- Pour over the chopped tomatoes and stock, cover tightly, then return to the oven for 1½ hrs, until the lamb is very tender.
- Remove the cinnamon sticks, then stir in the orzo. Cover again, then cook for a further 20 mins, stirring halfway through. The orzo should be cooked and the sauce thickened. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and serve with crusty bread.

Comments, questions and tips
Just made this for my Belgian friend's birthday lunch (always a bit nervous and doubtful when I cook for her as she used to be the Chef in her own Belgian Cuisine Restaurant and she's GOOOOOD!). What a success and she was so impressed with the flavours.of cinnamon being added to lamb in a Greek dish!! Cooked this in my slow cooker the day before so the dish had time to develop the flavours overnight and it was beautiful and tender. No problem with finding Orzo as some people have mentioned previously. Here in Portugal it's called "Pevide (Risone)" and my Portuguese in-laws use this alot in their traditional Chicken soup (Canga). Look forward to making this again when Hubby comes home soon. Thanks GF for a successful lunch!!
This was delicious. I have never had orzo before but I agree with most people below, the dish would not be the same without it. For 3 people I used 550g of lamb and added a chopped carrot when I added the chopped tomatoes. I also served it with boiled carrots and broccoli and 2 of the baguettes which you part cook at home.
Made this today and it was finger lickin' good, everyone liked it. Was a bit afraid that it'll be very runny, as after 1.5 hour in the oven there was still quite a lot of liquid left, but orzo soaked it in nicely and the resulting texture was just right.
And it is really no-stress cooking, one just chucks the casserole into the oven and can slack off for almost 2 hours. Plus, there's very little dishes to wash.
Made this for the second time this weekend and once again it was easy to do and tasted fantastic. The great thing with this is that you can do most of the cooking in the morning, reheat it when your guests arrive and then chuck in the Orzo and Bob's your uncle - lots of time for socialising and drinking. We served with a lovely greek salad and crusty bread as suggested.
We've made this three or four times now and it's always lovely - almost foolproof. Very good for when friends come round as you can just bung it in the oven and have time to chat without being flustered in the kitchen. One tip is don't be tempted to put more orzo in than stated as it swells and soaks up all the liquid so you could end up with a dry (but still delicious!) more solid meal!
Made this last night for some friends and it was a winner! I cooked it on a very low heat on the hob, and left it for 4 hours - I think the longer the better, and the meat was gorgeous and melting. I browned the meat first, and added some garlic. I also added cumin as I think this adds a lovely flavour to slow cooked meat dishes. I don't think this would serve 6 though - more like 4
Yum. Fried off the onions and browned the lamb first and didn't have cinnamon sticks so missed them out. Otherwise stuck to the recipe. My Greek friend said that orzo would be a traditional accompaniment for a greek slow cooked casserole like this but failing that (and as the orzo was in the stew already) some rice with tomatoes and cinnamon added would be authentic. So that's the way I served it with a crispy side salad. Made it for friends and got lots of lovely compliments.
This is absolutely delicious given the relatively simple ingredients. I didn't have orzo so left that out (halved the stock) and served it with sweet potato mash. Used garlic olive oil, browned everything together, added a pinch of sugar and plenty of salt and pepper and left in oven for two and a half hours. All the family loved it, a make again. I do think it only serves 4 - 5 people though not 6 - a bigger piece of shoulder would be needed for six. Put it this way - three of us ate the lot!
Very nice, and so easy to make as well. The lamb was very tender and melt in the mouth. It was a little bit too 'cinnamony' so think next time will omit the ground and just keep the stick so just to get a hint of cinnamon. Would also be nice with some peppers in it, so might try that next time. I served mine with carrots and broccoli.

Senser, a politically-charged UK band, originally formed in South West London from a group of friends in the late 1980s, Nick Michaelson (guitar), Heitham Al-Sayed (vocals), Kerstin Haigh (vocals), John Morgan (drums), James Barrett (bass) and Alan "Hagos/Haggis" Haggarty (engineer, producer, programmer) and in 1992 they were joined by Spiral Tribe D.J, Andy Clinton. The band soon forged an innovative, eclectic and explosive new style and began to support psychedelic rockers the Ozric Tentacles. Soon they had developed a following in their own right and they were invited to play at Glastonbury, this got the ball rolling in 1993 the band were signed to Ultimate records. Senser''s musical style has repeatedly been described as "uncategorisable", but is nevertheless most often classified as rap rock.

Sampling 808 State??!!
Anybody guilty?
Does anybody know how the band feels about it?
Who do we send material to?
Having fond memories of 808's '99 gig in Los Angeles and tapping into Manc vibes is my inspiration. Personally, Ian Brown's brawl here and Laurent Garnier recent release did it to me this year.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 28 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wagoneer User friendly and intuitive. This phone is easy to use as everything about it is simple and logical. It has automatic settings that affirm the completion of a call or text. The preset ringtones and reminders are pleasing to the ear. It is lightweight, easy on the eyes, and the battery holds a charge longer than any other phone I have owned. Importantly, the coverage is also the best yet for me, and I live in a remote area with many huge trees. I don't use all the features at this time. I love knowing they're there and will be as easy to use as the basics I'm currently using. December 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jimwhoski Great features not normally seen in a flip phone I highly recommend this phone for those who still appreciate a compact phone. And I have a reconditioned/refurbished phone that cost me about a quarter of the original price. It's like new! April 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Wayne1960 This product is easy to use. This phone has many quality features and is extremely easy to use. I have added a memory card to my phone and I have been able to save hundreds of pictures. I use the USB cable to transfer these pictures to my computer, where I am able to create slide shows that are set to music. The alarm clock feature is another feature that I utilize. When an alarm is set, you have the ability to hit the snooze button just as you would on a traditional alarm clock. I am also pleased with the profile information that can be entered on each contact. For some of my contacts, I have added their mailing address, email address, and even their IM id. The ease of adding a picture and a special ringtone to a contact is a great feature as well. I also have certain family members birthdays included and put them on the calender and have scheduled a reminder for them for each year. This way, I can send them a text message and wish them a happy birthday. I love the fact that I can have an internal and external wallpaper with this phone. I have 4 grandchildren and I love to rotate pictures of them on both of these displays. So, if you are looking for a phone that is simple to use that is packed with many useful features, then this is the phone. March 11, 2014

The key to a sculpted midsection is using smart and effective stabilizing moves. But if your body fat is too high, it won't matter how wisely you work your abs—they won't show. That's why you need to add those moves to a full-body strength and cardio routine that will boost your metabolism, blast fat, and finally uncover those abs you've been working so hard to develop.
And while the exercises can be thrown into your workout at random, that tactic will get you just a fraction of their benefits. For full value, work on progression.
Here's how it works: After a 10- minute dynamic warm-up, do the first two moves as instructed, then finish with a total-body workout. Do this three times a week on nonconsecutive days for two weeks, then go to the next two moves. Repeat the pattern over eight weeks until you've done all eight moves.
Reveal Your Abs—for Good!
Your Core Curriculum
For a whittled middle, commit these four rules to memory.
1 Your spine is already flexed—don't make it worse.
If your day is spent hunched over a computer or a steering wheel, your spine is in a constantly flexed position, leading to poor posture and a weak core. So why would you worsen the problem with spine-flexing exercises like crunches? The moves in this program help prevent or correct misaligned posture.
2 The terms core and abs are not interchangeable.
Crunches work your abs, but for the biggest benefits, you need to work your entire core, which is made up of the four layers of the abs (rectus abdominis, external and internal obliques, and transverse abdominis), hip flexors, spine extensors, hip adductors (inner-thigh muscles), hip abductors (including gluteus medius), and multifidus.
3 Move more and often.
Consider this stat: Each 10 percent rise in sedentary time is associated with a 3.1-centimeter larger waist circumference. Researchers found that, of the subjects they studied, the waist measurements of people who got up most often were more than two inches smaller than those of people who got up the least.
4 It's not just about gym time.
A study found that while a group's average weight loss after a 12- week fitness program was about eight pounds, individual results ranged from a loss of 32 pounds to gains of almost four pounds. So although exercise is key for shedding belly flab, weight control still comes down to calories. To drop weight, you have to burn off more of them than you take in.
Adapted from The News Rules of LIfting for Abs: A Myth-Busting Fitness Plan for Men and Women Who Want a Strong Core and a Pain-Free Back, by Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove (Avery)
