There are a few people in my family who are gluten-free and one of their biggest complaints is that finding a decent gluten-free pasta is difficult and costly. Since removing gluten from their diets, they say the food item they miss most is bread but enjoying a decent pasta dish is a very close second.
Last year when I attended the Casa Barilla Cooking School I was delighted to hear that after many years of developing and trialling a wheat-free pasta, the company would soon be releasing its gluten-free range.
A few weeks ago I was invited to the launch of Barilla's gluten-free range at A Tavola in Darlinghurst. 'A Tavola' is Italian for 'At the Table' and the restaurant not only has an extremely lengthy marble table where diners can sit and socialise, it also has extremely authentic Italian pasta.
On a beautiful winter's day the launch of Barilla's gluten-free range started with all guests enjoying a welcome drink of Aperol Spritz or a glass of Prosecco while mingling around the long marble table that is usually filled with A Tavola's regular and loyal diners. The welcome drinks were enjoyed with some stuffed and fried green olives that unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to taste.
We moved through the narrow restaurant and past the kitchen, then down a staircase to an enclosed courtyard. The room was set up Italian-style with two very long wooden tables covered in white tablecloths and decorated simply and elegantly with modern floral arrangements.
We started the meal with some house bread dipped in chilli oil then the first of Barilla's three gluten-free pastas arrived in big bowls that were placed along the table. Elbows con Vongole e Cannellini pasta was such an Italian looking dish with the fresh seafood and the beans mixed with the pasta. I was surprised at how well the elbow pasta shapes held together as my prior experience with gluten-free pasta has been that it tends to fall apart.
The next course was Spaghetti dell' Ortolano which was spaghetti with organic vegetables. The pasta twirled around the fork beautifully and the vegetable sauce was tasty yet subtle. I noticed the pasta is slightly more yellow in colour than traditional pasta and it is the corn that gives the pasta its colour as Barilla's gluten-free pasta range is made with non-GMO corn and rice flours.
In terms of flavour, the next course was my favourite and it was Penne con Salsiccia e Carciofi which was penne with pork sausages, artichokes and parmesan. I loved this and will try to recreate it at home. There was a hint of chilli in the sauce which gave it a little kick and the pork and artichokes were a terrific combination. The penne pasta holds together very well and has great texture.
The dessert was a show-stopper. On the A Tavola menu it is famous and frequently ordered. It was Creminello which was chocolate, salted caramel and Italian Meringue served in a coffee cup. It looked so much like a cappuccino that when one was placed in front of the woman opposite me she said to the waiter, 'No coffee for me, thanks'.
I was really pleased this wasn't a coffee and couldn't believe my luck in finding all three of my favourite dessert flavours served in one cup. We were informed the best way to eat this is to push your spoon to the bottom of the cup so that as you pull it out, all three flavours end up on your spoon. This was a fantastic way to finish off a very beautiful lunch and an inspired reason for returning to A Tavola very soon.
As we were leaving we were given personalised gift-bags. Inside there were a variety of pasta sauces along with the three types of gluten-free pasta; spaghetti, elbows and penne. There was also an apron with my name on it – love it!
In shopping for gluten-free pasta, I usually find that it's very expensive. With Barilla, you can buy a traditional box of their pasta for around $2.50 for 500gms. I was pleased to hear that the Barilla gluten-free range is less than $4.00 for a 340gm box.
I had a thoroughly enjoyable time at the launch of Barilla's gluten-free range and was impressed with the texture and taste of the pasta, as well as how well it performed in terms of it holding together and the spaghetti being able to twirl around the fork. The price is reasonable and then there's the convenience of being able to purchase the product at local supermarkets. And then there's the taste! I believe Barilla's gluten-free pasta comes as close to performing and tasting like traditional pastas as I have been able to find.
For information on Barilla's gluten-free range as well as recipes, you can visit Barilla's website.

Samantha Thomas' works are steeped in the canon of painting while actively engaging in multiple disciplines. Her new series of work, entitledTexture/Parameter, marks a continued exploration with the limits of the traditional canvas. Thomas' exercises in spatial concerns are informed by landscape and our proximity to it. Her art is a means to explore the "place" of the painting, to use the artist's words. Foreground and background are conceived not by imposing perspective but by building out the materiality of the canvas, occasionally exaggerating core structural components. These assemblage works fit into the scheme of the picture plane that serve as analogies for how the physical and the psychological inform one other as distinct realms of experience. Texture/Parameter builds on a unique approach that seeks the architecture and sculptural form in abstraction.
Samantha Thomas received her BA from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena in 2004. Thomas has exhibited at William Turner Gallery, Alexys Schwartz Projects, D-Block Projects, Here is Elsewhere Gallery, and Royal T in Los Angeles. Thomas lives and works in Los Angeles.

How to make a baby sweater from an upcycled adult sweater
Timed needed: 2 – 3 hours
Skill level: advanced beginner
- Thrifted sweater
- Knit fabric
- Buttons
- Basic sewing essentials
- Serger recommended
- 1Taking an old shirt you already have to use as the Pattern Piece, place the shirt on the BOTTOM of the sweater, so we can reuse the sweater's bottom hem, as well as on the fold. Cut around the shirt, adding an additional 1 – 1.5″ around the shirt pattern.
- Place the sleeve of your shirt on the BOTTOM of the sweater's sleeve, so we can also reuse that hem. Cut around your shirt pattern, using the top of the sleeve as the fold. Cut one out of each sweater sleeve.
- Lastly, cut the remainder of the sweater's chunky hem off, as we will be turning that into the new sweater's collar.
- Cut one of your sweater's body pieces in half down the front middle, to give you two front sweater pieces – and you should now have this. (1) Back, (2) Front, (2) Sleeves, (1) collar fabric
- Take your Front sweater pieces and place on top of your Back sweater piece, right sides together. Pin and Sew shoulder seams ONLY.
*Note – as I mentioned before, sweater frays A LOT. So you will need to zig zag stitch seams, or serge.
- You will now have this if you lay it all out.
- Take your Sleeve piece, and pin the upper arc right sides together to the armhole opening of your sweater. Sew.
- Fold sweater right sides together, matching up the side seams and underarm seam. Pin and sew.
- You now have something resembling the sweater – YEAH!
- Take the old sweater's chunky hem that you cut the excess off of, and pin the cut edge to the top of your sweater's neckline. Cut to fit so that it is the same size lengthwise.
- Pin and sew.
- Once you have zig zag or serged this hem, you will want to press it down towards the sweater, and edge stitch over it to keep the seam in place.
- We are almost there!
- Take your scrap knit fabric, and cut (2) so that they are each 2.5″ Wide x the length of your sweater +1″.
- 15. Attach the raw edge of one to the front opening of your sweater on the wrong side and pin. Let 1/2″ hang over the top and bottom. Sew 1/2″ away from the edge.
- 16. Fold over the knit to the front, fold the top and bottom 1/2″ in, as well as the raw long edge under, and pin in place along the outer edge. Edge stitch to secure in place. Repeat for both sides of the sweater.
All you have to do now is add your buttonholes and buttons and you are finished!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and until next time…
Happy sewing!

You probably have one or two preferred sleep positions you use to get comfortable and maximize your chances of getting a restful night's sleep.
That's normal, obviously.
Even animals do it.
Unfortunately for us humans, of course there has to be all this depressing scientific research on the sleep positions people tend to have and all sorts of unwanted effects they can cause on the neck back, skin, limbs or other body parts that get in the way.
I'm a stomach sleeper, and according to the National Sleep Foundation, this is pretty much the absolute worst position to put your body through when it comes time to catch some Zs.
But in my personal situation, it's actually super comfortable.
I feel awesome, and I usually can't seem to fall asleep quite the same when I'm on my back or on my side.
It's said that sleeping on your stomach can screw up your neck (because it's turned to the side all night) and can also cause back pain due to contorting the natural C curve of your spine.
Women who are stomach sleepers also have to deal with their lungs and breasts and uterus getting smooshed, so that's no fun at all.
So, with that said, I should be a crippled mess of a person right now because of the way that I sleep every night.
But somehow, I'm not.
Spoiler alert: There is no ideal "one size fits all" position for sleep.
Obviously we've all got arms and legs and a torso and a neck and all that other stuff that comes with being physically human, but we don't all suffer from the same aches and pains and airway problems that can rob us of proper sleep and make us feel super groggy during the day.
And so, it would be silly for someone to recommend that every single person should sleep in one preferred position for the rest of their lives.
Dr. Steven Park says that you really shouldn't have to change your preferred sleep position unless you're experiencing pain or any other health problems because of it.
If you absolutely need to sleep on your back, surrounded by 57 pillows, calming frog sounds playing in the background, with one leg bent and the other leg propped up on the other — and you feel GREAT in the morning — then why stop doing something that's working so well for you?
Trying out different positions when you sleep is effective for relieving pain or finding a way to get a better quality of sleep, but if you don't suffer from any muscle or joint pain during the day, and you're happy with the way that you sleep, then there's probably no need to change anything.
Congratulations — you found your perfect position.
Besides, it should feel natural.
So what should you do if you're a stomach sleeper like I am, knowing that's still basically the worst position to sleep in?
Well, it makes me feel good, so I'm sticking with it.
But if you experience neck pain, back pain, aching muscles, snoring, pins and needles, sleep deprivation , or anything else that may be unpleasantly related to how you sleep — then it may be time to try something new.
The general consensus is that sleeping on your back or on your side is best because you're less likely to suffer from neck and back pain.
The National Sleep Foundation says that sleeping on your back keeps your spine pretty neutral, and sleeping on your side elongates it, so the fact that your spine isn't curved in any unnatural way makes these two preferred positions the real winners.
If you're a back or side sleeper, then good for you!
You're doing it right — although there's always room for a little improvement.
If you sleep on your side, go for a thick pillow that fills up all that space between your shoulder and head — and try placing a pillow between your knees as well.
You need a nice thick and puffy pillow to make sure your head and neck are supported in a neutral position while lying on your side.
Placing a pillow between the knees keeps the pelvis straight, preventing your legs from falling to either side and causing any awkward twists in the body.
Try a body pillow if you're a side sleeper — they're great if you need to hug something for better upper body stability, and they're long enough that you can wrap your legs around them too.
The one thing you do need to avoid as a side sleeper is the fetal position.
Bringing your knees and legs way up toward your chest forces a bigger curve in your spine, which can spell out pain for your poor back and neck by morning.
If you sleep on your back, go for a puffy pillow that's not too thick so it doesn't prop your head up too much — and place another pillow under your knees and calves.
While sleeping on your back, your head will need to be supported by a proper pillow that prevents it from falling too far side to side, but not so much that it lifts your head way up that your neck is out of line with rest of your body.
It's a good idea to also try placing a pillow directly underneath the knees so that it kind of props up the natural curves in your legs, creating support for them and keeping your spine in a flatter neutral position.
Placing your arms over your head can force a bigger curve in your back, so try to keep them down by your side.
If you sleep on your stomach, go for an extra thin pillow and avoid using one that's too thick or puffy.
In fact, if you sleep on your stomach, it might be best to use no pillow at all.
When sleeping on your stomach, the natural curve in your back is flattened out, and your neck is twisted to the side, so propping your head up with a massive pillow is going to just make things worse.
You can also reduce any lower back pain you might have by placing a pillow underneath your hips or abdomen while sleeping on your stomach.
Do what feels comfortable and natural.
There is no perfect position.
I repeat — there is NO perfect position for sleep.
Back pain sufferers should try sleeping on their sides, snorers should try sleeping on their stomachs, and people with stiff necks should try sleeping on their backs.
Experiment a little, maybe track your sleep progress as you go, and settle with what feels right.

Where did it start? . . .
It started with a dream to encourage protection of open space and to retain the community character of Johnsburg. A door to this dream opened when the former Alexander's garage/Bacon garage became available in 1999 and was purchased by Elise and Woody Widlund.
The dream of open space for this particular piece of real estate changed when the historic WPA Ski Bowl building burned down in the fall of 1999. This was a great loss to Johnsburg and to the residents.
Bill Thomas, Town of Johnsburg Supervisor, had gathered representatives of the many organizations that have had occasion to use the Ski Bowl building to explore what the needs for space would be for each organization in a new building. Elise attended this meeting. …And so the dream took an about-face. "Let's look into meeting some of the space needs that I learned about and give the building to the Town" says Elise to Woody. Together the Widlunds approached Bill Thomas, the Town Board and held an open public meeting with this idea. Support was very high. Thus the Tannery Pond Community Center was born. The name has its roots in the stream behind it, which once was wider and called the Tannery Pond.
The initial plan of using the existing building dissolved when the engineers reviewed the structure for a long-term investment. 20 years did not sound long enough to the Widlunds, so a whole new structure was decided upon. Aided by an advisory committee of local residents, the Widlunds and the architectural firm of Joy, McCoola and Zilch began the task of turning the dream into reality.

Muffins again? I know, but I'm not sorry. I had an urge to make muffins, so I decided to make the most out of the urge and experiment with multiple recipes. Hence, I give you experiment #2 . . . . lemon poppy seed!
These muffins are slightly more traditional than the Thin Mints Muffins (although not quite as decadent!). They are perfect for an easy breakfast or on-the-go snack. If you want to use them for dessert, you could top them with a glaze!
Lemon Poppy Seed Oat Muffins
What you'll need:
- 3 overripe bananas
- 1 cup milk of choice
- juice of 2 lemons (~6 tbsp)
- 1 tbsp lemon extract
- 1 tbsp honey or agave
- 2 cups oat flour
- 1 cup instant oats (I use Country Choice Organic)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1-2 tbsp poppy seeds
How to make it:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray muffin tins with nonstick spray.
- In a blender or food processor, combine bananas with milk, lemon juice, and lemon extract. Puree until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together oat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add wet ingredients to the oat mixture and stir.
- Stir in poppy seeds. Start with 1 tbsp and increase if desired.
- Fill the muffin tins so they are about 5/6 full. (Note: because the muffins are made with oats, they will not rise as much as conventional muffins.)
- Bake in oven for about 15 minutes. Allow to cool before removing from pan.

Have you ever returned from a vacation needing a vacation to recover from your vacation? That's exactly how I felt after taking my seven-year-old, twin grandkids for a beach and Sea World summer getaway. Both my mind and body needed therapy, so I started the day after I returned from "vacation" with this luscious fresh coconut smoothie for brunch, followed by a long walk by the sea.
Don't get me wrong, it was wonderful to take the little squirts on their first airplane ride for a few days of fun, but it wasn't without challenging moments for me and my daughter who found ourselves using the following terms way too many times: stop yelling, chew with your mouths closed, say excuse me, get down off there, don't run, stop hitting each other, SIT down – and the list goes on. Despite that, the trip was still wonderful.
Also wonderful, is this simple and healthy smoothie. The best part of a coconut smoothie is using the juice and meat of a freshly-opened, young coconut. If you've never opened one, it's a lot easier than you probably think. Here's a brief video demonstration of how to open a Thai coconut that will help. If you don't have a fresh coconut, it's perfectly fine to substitute bottled coconut juice with shredded coconut, and even a little coconut milk – but like with most recipes, the fresher the better!
I hope you're enjoying your summer too!
- 1 - 1½ cups fresh coconut water (extracted from fresh, young coconut)
- 1 cup fresh coconut meat (from fresh young coconut), chopped
- 1-2 bananas, chopped and frozen
- about 6 ice cubes
- ¼ cup almond milk (optional)
- Add all ingredients in blender jar and blend until desired consistency. Depending on blender type, you may need to stop blending to stir with a spatula and add a little more liquid.

"Guardianship" refers to a body of law in which the court appoints a person or entity to care for another's property or person. In Texas, the person or entity that is appointed by the court is referred to as a guardian (some states refer to a guardian as a conservator). Once appointed by the court, the guardian has the legal authority and duty to care for an incapacitated person referred to as a ward. In Texas, incapacitated persons are defined as either (1) a minor; (2) an adult individual who, because of a physical or mental condition, is substantially unable to provide food, clothing, or shelter for himself or herself, to care for their own physical health, or to manage their own financial affairs; or (3) a person who must have a guardian appointed to receive funds due the person from any governmental source.
In Texas, there are two basic types of guardianships: a guardian of the person and a guardian of the estate. It is also possible to be appointed as a guardian of the person and estate. Depending on the nature and severity of a ward's incapacity and needs, the court appointing the guardian has the discretion to grant the guardian a variety of powers and authority. A guardian of the person can be vested with either full or limited authority to make decisions for their ward such as determining the ward's residence, medical treatments, marital decisions, etc. A guardian of the estate can be vested with either full or limited authority to manage the financial and business affairs of their ward. Once a guardianship has been established, the guardian has ongoing duties to their ward and continuing responsibilities that must be fulfilled.
Our firm represents individuals in all aspects of guardianship law, such as creating a guardianship when necessary, seeking a change in the person appointed as guardian when warranted, and even disputing whether a guardianship should be created.
Determining the best course of action in a guardianship case is highly fact specific and can be determined only after appropriate investigation and consultation. If you have questions about a current or potential guardianship, please contact our office to arrange a consultation.

Pak: SC seeks ISI`s political cell notification
Pakistan's Supreme Court has asked the Defence Ministry to submit the notification under which ISI`s political cell was created in 1975.
Islamabad: Pakistan's Supreme Court has asked the Defence Ministry to submit the notification under which the notorious political cell of the country's spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), was created in 1975.
The three-member bench of the apex court comprising Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, Justice Jawwad S Khwaja and Justice Khilji Arif Hussain was hearing the 1996 petition of Tehriq-i-Istiqlal's chief Asghar Khan.
The petition talks about allegations of the ISI's financing of politicians in the 1990 election to prevent the victory of the Pakistan People's Party.
According to The Dawn, Chaudhry said that if admissible evidence was produced, then the court would send notices to politicians guilty of receiving funds from the ISI.
Attroney General Irfan Qadir told the court that the notification under which the ISI political cell was formed could not be found.
"How is it possible that a notification was issued and the Defence Ministry does not have a copy of it?," remarked the Chief Justice.
According to the paper, the Chief Justice ordered the Defence Ministry to produce the missing notification in court, also directing the attorney general to facilitate the ministry in doing so.

We love playing at GROOVE and we can't wait to get back in there again soon!

The executive member for education says the council supports its teachers adequately, despite a large rise last year in days lost due to stress.
Teaching staff were absent for an extra 500 working days in 2012/13 because of the condition, a Freedom of Information request has shown.
While Sandy Aitchison admits the job is stressful, he says help is available.
The Galashiels councillor told us: "It is not always possible to divide occupational stress from the other stresses of life which have increased in recent years, but at SBC, I am assured we have the measures in place to assist and help any of our staff who need that help. Teachers should be aware that help exists and as part of a team in any school they should look after each other to detect early signs of stress and depression in their colleagues and talk honestly within their school. Stress affects all of us – there is no shame in seeking early help."
A spokesman for the teaching union EIS said there had been a significant rise in stress-related illness.
He added: "Heavy workload, combined with other issues such as pupil indiscipline and rising class sizes, can place teachers under a great deal of stress.
"All local authorities have a duty of care to all their employees, including teachers, to ensure a workplace that is conducive to good health and well-being."

Dublin lucky to get another crack at it: Jim Gavin
Dublin reaction
Jim Gavin won't even try and hide it - he is a relieved man to be still in the hunt for Sam.
"Just delighted to be still in the Championship," he phews in the post-match press conference.
"After that performance, we didn't really deserve to win today and we're just happy to be leaving the ground this evening with the opportunity to try and go at it again in two weeks time."
He's not too proud to pass up on an own goal or two as well, acknowledging those catastrophic moments for Mayo as what has his team still in the running.
"The luck was certainly with us today. And we'll certainly acknowledge that. We got those two bounces of the ball," he said.
"We're just lucky. Lucky to be in the competition."
On a wet day with the pitch like an ice rink and the ball flying off the turf, Gavin felt his team were victimised when James McCarthy had a black card flashed at him by referee Conor Lane for a deliberate block on Cillian O'Connor in the first half.
"I suppose when you look at why the black card was brought in, it was for cynical play, for blocks, pull-downs or trips," he began.
"I don't think it fits into that category. But from the referee's performance, we're just looking for consistency. That certainly wasn't out there today."
What Dublin have over Mayo is their recent history. Last year they faced each other in a replay on the Saturday night before the hurling final and won with a commanding performance.
You have that advantage, Jim?
"That certainly has crossed my mind - that we've been here before in this situation and we've learned from it.
"We've pushed on from it. So the mindset and the culture that is within the group is that they'll go after and look for that learning piece and try and improve it for the next day.
"And it's certainly in our hands."
For now, he states the players will have a day or two off.
"Ah, midweek," he answers when asked the next time the panel would gather.
"Let the guys for a couple of days just recharge the batteries and the coaches will look back on the tape and get what we can out of it and we'll meet up and go at it again. Just delighted to get back here on Saturday week, if tonight was anything to go by it's going to be a great game."
And a challenge to get the players to that pitch on Saturday week, 5pm?
"No. They want to perform, that's their drive to go and get performances and they really look at that as disappointment, they're disappointed for not performing and they'll relish the challenge."

DC Comics, 20 pages, $ 2.99
Writer: Kyle Higgins
Penciler: Eddy Barrows
Inker: J.P. Mayer
Colorist: Rod Reis
Letterer: Carlos M. Mangual
Some comics strive to offer something unexpected and imaginative with every scene, others are more like Nightwing. Writer Kyle Higgins and penciler Eddy Barrows know how to communicate the plot of their story competently, but that's about the nicest thing I can say about the book.
Nightwing jumps around, beats up a bunch of generic bad guys with a lot of blood splattering and meets his new/old supporting cast. It looks solid enough, to be fair, but then again, some of the layouts seem like they're taken straight from Todd McFarlane's Spider-Man, of all things (look at that double spread with the credits). Meanwhile, rather than to dramatize his hero's thoughts and emotions, Mr. Higgins prefers to spill them out relentlessly in 1990s-style inner monologue boxes that drone on and on, and on.
The villain of the story is wheeled in on the bus (!) and gets to show how badass he is when two potentially dope-smoking (judging from the art) brothers try to rob him. Alas, our Greyhound-ridin' brother-buster may be smart enough to track and attack Dick Grayson, but he ain't so smart as to make the connection when Grayson slips into an alley, puts on a tiny domino mask and then rejoins the fight.
Superhero comics require a certain "suspension of disbelief" at the best of times, so it behooves their creators not to put a spotlight on the genre limitations. Higgins hasn't given the subject a lot of thought, it appears.
If there's a contest for the most obvious and worn-out clichés in history, send in this comic.

Rock bottom was hit by Jessica Sierra and now she is paying the price. The former American Idol finalist that has been in her share of trouble including a sex tape and a public drunkenness arrest has been sentenced to a year in rehab and two years probation.
The Tampa Tribune reported that Perry sentenced Sierra to spend the next year at the Pasadena Recovery Center in Pasadena, California — a facility he had reservations about because it has hosted TV programs in the past. He was concerned that Sierra might use the stint as a means of boosting her career, the paper reported.
"I don't want this to be some steppingstone for her to have a career as a recovering addict," Perry said.MTV
Jessica never had a shot as her career never took off and like many idol contestants was soon forgotten. Even Idol winners aren't getting much love. Ruben and Taylor have both been dropped by their record label as sales fail to meet expectations. These kids have to learn that just because you are on a show watched by millions of people doesn't mean they are going to stick around once you aren't on television. We can only hope she doesn't sleep around in rehab like some people do — Lindsay!
Who remembers her here? No one?

It seems like when you do a question update it's pointless because no one notices it?
Most Helpful Girl
The others are correct, you're no longer notified when someone updates their question.
That may be why you're not seeing much response to your question updates.
The reason for that change is the many complaints about constant updates to questions that were very old, many members didn't like being notified.
If you're curious to keep track of a question, updates and all, you can Follow it... this will keep ALL of it's activity in LIVE FEED, and you can even filter by Questions I Follow to see JUST those.

Throwback Thursday
I found this great pic of my mom, niece and daughter while looking through old photos last evening. We had such a fun time all cooking together and this night really stands out. The inspiration for the cake was a bag of chocolate rocks that I found which later served as the fishbowl gravel. Just reminded me of all the fun times we had cooking and baking together as a family. Nothing is better than cooking with the people you love… Happy Throwback Thursday! <3
Cannellini beans throw down
Using canned beans is not only quick and easy, it is pretty much commonplace in American households. I always see dried beans in the supermarket and at specialty food stores and I, probably like many of you, passed them up for a quicker, more convenient option…canned beans. So I decided to find out for myself which of these two alternatives was: 1. better tasting, 2. better for you and 3. the most economical. I love beans, they make whatever you are eating a lot heartier and healthier, they are after all packed with fiber and iron. But let's face it, no one is going to take the time to cook beans from scratch unless they taste better and are better for you. So lets find out……

Celebrate Jamaica: Collaboration
Today my friend @DJAutograph chose the Throwback Thursday tune on Large Up, one of his favourites "Anything For You (All Star Remix) —
The audio is a bit low but that's the best quality video. DJ Autograph wrote
I started DJing in 1994, a year after Snow's hit "Informer" topped the Billboard charts in the US. For me, and for many dancehall aficionados, Snow was considered an imposter, a wannabe Jamaican who spoke bad patois while pretending to be a Dancehall Artist.
I remember going to the record store one Friday afternoon in 1995 after my classes were over to do the usual weekend shopping. Teenagers and soundmen from all over Jamaica would converge on Aquarius Records in Half Way Tree on a Friday to get the latest tunes that came in that day. Thirty minutes into sampling the latest releases and one tune catches my attention: Nadine Sutherland giving a roll call of all the artists who have verses on the song and then in comes Snow singing with his trademark style, "I will do any anything just fi you…." Those of us in the store were mesmerized for the next four minutes; we'd just heard five of dancehall's best DJs of the '90s put down five of the best verses I'd ever heard in one song, regardless of genre. The song "Anything For You," featuring Beenie Man, Buju Banton, Nadine Sutherland, Terror Fabulous, Louie Culture and Kulture Knox (and produced by Salt-N-Pepa/Kid 'n Play mastermind Hurby "Luv Bug" Astor), became a smash hit in Jamaica, and helped Snow gain credibility within the dancehall fraternity both in Jamaica and around the rest of the world. It's even in my personal top five dancehall songs of all time.
The video, shot in black and white by famed hip-hop director Hype Williams, is staged in a recording studio and we see all five artists voicing their verses with the engineers at the mixing board. Several scenes show the artists side by side in vocal booth, dancing around and apparently having a good time. What makes this video special is seeing the sense of camaraderie among the artists…that's something that today's dancehall could use a dose of.
Thanks, Large Up for letting me post this!
This song is also a favourite of mine. Love, love, love this collaboration and, in fact I think it's one of the Dancehall collabos ever. Every time I hear the first strains of the song and that early bassline drop I have to smile. The vid then comes to mind..scenes in the studio but then the smooth cutaways to scenes on the Jamaican streets. Perfect. It was a good move by Snow (or whoever) to get these folks together and drop this song.
Speaking of collaboration, there's the We Can Cross It Petition. Dare I call it a movement? I don't know who's behind this initiative but I love it. I and many others had a grand time laughing at DJ Powa's refix of Clifton Brown's news interview about the quite serious condition in Roberts Field, St. Thomas. The vid was funny, yes, but damnit why is this community having to struggle like this? Or any other community for that matter. As the refix became more popular Mr. Brown did many interviews, and frequently folks would only focus on, often ridiculing, his accent. But as I saw commentary about some of his interviews and saw the footage of folks who canna cross it because of no bridge, I realized that this man was not an idiot or a twanging fool. I began to believe that he was genuinely interested in getting something done for his community. It became a little uncomfortable to giggle away at his manner of speech of. So last night I was glad to come across a RT about the We Can Cross It petition. I urge you to sign it. I did. There's also a Facebook page and a Twitter account. Love this kind of collaboration and advocacy by Jamaicans. Please spread the word. It may seem like a small thing but demanding action on this issue is an important first step toward demanding accountability and results from GOJ and Jamaican local government officials.
Kudos to the folks behind the We Can Cross It initiative; really makes me happy & proud to see Jamaicans urge working together to fix a problem.
Listen to the refix (again) while you sign the petition. Only takes a minute!!

I love the Tigi Bed Head Masterpiece Hair Spray when looking for a really good solid holding spray - especially for updos - yet not sticky! This spray is also humidity-resistant so that your hair doesn't get all fuzzy or frizzy in heat or rain. Comes in at about $16-$22 per bottle - but you don't need much to get a good solid hold. An added bonus is that is smells amazing too!

BCAA For Women and Cheap BCAA Powder
BCAA for Women
Our BCAA Powder is ranked one of the best BCAA for women. BCAA for Women and Men can use this BCAA powder to help them achieve their fitness goals. BCAAs help to prevent muscle loss by reducing protein breakdown in your muscles (catabolism) by stimulating the release of insulin. Insulin has proven to play an important part in prevent the breakdown of muscle fibers following periods of physical stress applied to the body, such as weight lifting, running, swimming etc – thereby preventing muscle loss. BCAAs are particularly useful when dieting to try and maintain as much muscle mass as possible when stripping away your body fat.
Cheap BCAA Powder
Focus Nutrition's cheap bcaa powder provides many benefits in muscle building and fat loss. This cheap bcaa powder is considered to be one of the best cheap bcaa powder on the market. High quality and affordable. BCAAs stands from Branched-Chain Amino Acids. These are the main building blocks of protein which in turn has a result on building muscle. They help to prevent fatigue and maintain muscle mass and strength during workouts and times when physical stress is applied to the body (during an intense workout for example). The BCAAs – leucine, isoleucine and valine are three of the essential amino acids which make up BCAAs. The term "branched chain" refers to the unique structure of these chemicals. Your body cannot produce this chain, and must be obtained through nutrition. The combination of these amino acids makes up about 1/3rd of skeletal muscle in the human body (That's why these are "essential" amino acids).
BENEFITS OF BCAAs
Increase Stamina: BCAA's act as a fuel source. They get sent directly to the muscles, so that the muscle can use the BCAAs directly for fuel or to build and repair itself.
Increase Muscle: Research has shown that the BCAAs, particularly leucine, increase muscle growth by directly stimulating muscle protein synthesis. Leucine acts like a key that turns on the process that strings the amino acids together to build muscle protein. Additionally, leucine boosts insulin levels. Insulin is an anabolic hormone that further stimulates protein synthesis.
Fat Loss: Researchers propose that the increase in protein synthesis stimulated by leucine increased energy expenditure so much that it helps burn off body fat.

15 reviews for BCAA Powder
Would Buy Again this BCAA is good for adding to protein shakes, not gritty. High quality, I would buy again.
No additives and it worked great! Very clean product. No additives and it worked great!
Great Stuff Like that this is unflavored and I'm finally seeing results and more definition!!!
Great BCAA's This BCAA powder has less of an aftertaste than some unflavored brands I've purchased at the vitamin shoppe
Great! I needed something that would allow me to get my BCAAs in without choking on horse pills and taking cancer causing chemicals. This is perfect
Five Stars No aftertaste whatsoever!
it tastes horrible and mixes only when shaken (doesn't stir) Yes, it tastes horrible and mixes only when shaken (doesn't stir). And yes, no additives or preservatives, just like I wanted. And yes, it works. I love it before, during and after workout during fasting.
It works Tastes bitter as it isn't unflavored but it works! I'm never sore after a tough work out.
Five Stars good product!!
Clean, Effective BCAA's for aerobic and anaerobic activities I have been using the flavored amino energy for a while, but the caffeine and extra additives were becoming a concern. BCAA's work in two ways: they help prevent muscle breakdown and they inhibit fatigue. This ratio is the most studied and research-backed to be effective. During workouts, I mix this with my hydration mix (eg: gatorade) and it seems to work very well. Great product from a picky reviewer!
I love this product because there is nothing added I love this product because there is nothing added: no sweeteners of any kind, no artificial colors, nothing but the BCAAs. I'd read before that sweetener needed to be added to BCAAs or they were very bitter and hard to choke down, but this powder is flavorless and mixes completely into my water (I shake it in my water bottle). My water tastes like I didn't add anything to it.
Five Stars Dissolves easily, the taste is pretty mild considering BCAA's go.
I like that there is NO added BS I like that there is NO added BS, and the price is very fair and actually less expensive than the nutrobio I had been purchasing. Additionally, the taste is very benign and was fine to drink by itself or with something else, such as raw juice or protein powder, but plain old water is all I have been using. So, as long as it is what they say it is, and I have no other reason to believe otherwise I just found my new BCAA supplement and dsaved some moola in the process.
A+ Love it!
Recommended This BCAA powder is great. Mixes very well!

Munnar is a beautiful hill station, and was the summer resort of the British. Tourists come here to see the vast tea plantations of the area. The town itself is typically Indian with the usual shops, guest houses and is really beautiful and traditional. Alappuzha is an important tourist destination in India. A houseboat cruise in these backwaters is a delightful experience. It is a good place to stay to see the surrounding countryside.

You can't make all of your tourney-pool decisions based on statistics. No magic numbers exist -- not efficiency, not adjusted scoring margin, and especially not the average salary of a school's graduates (Cornell in the Final Four!) -- that predict every winner. But you can make better bracket decisions by paying attention to the right stats. Since none is more revealing than the efficiency numbers on kenpom.com, those are what I'll use to take a look at the Cinderellas:
• I like to go with my gut when making upset picks -- but before locking them in, I'll check the gap in the two teams' Pythagorean winning percentage to make sure I'm not being ridiculous. You don't need your Cinderella to be ranked higher in efficiency than its foe to feel comfortable about taking an 11 over a 6, or a 12 over a 5, or even a 13 over a 4. You just want there not to be a statistical chasm between the two teams.
These are the four 11-13 seeds that rank the closest to their first-round opponent:
1. Utah State (12) vs. Texas A&M (5), South Region (+3)
The WAC champs aren't favored to win this game by Vegas, but they're actually three spots ahead of the Big 12's Aggies in the kenpom.com rankings. As much as everyone's certain that UTEP will knock off Butler -- and I picked that to happen -- this is the most statistically close 5-12 game:
Adj OffEff Adj DefEff Pyth. Win%
(Nat'l Rk.) (Nat'l Rk.) (Nat'l Rk.)
Texas A&M 111.9 (39) 89.9 (23) .925 (23)
Utah St. 116.4 (14) 93.0 (54) .930 (20)
2. Old Dominion (11) vs. Notre Dame (6), South Region (+5*)
Utah State isn't the only double-digit-seeded mid-major to have a better efficiency profile than its first-round matchup. The Monarchs' D is so much better than the Irish's that ODU ranks five spots higher:
Adj OffEff Adj DefEff Pyth. Win%
(Nat'l Rk.) (Nat'l Rk.) (Nat'l Rk.)
Notre Dame 119.8 (4) 99.3 (140) .897 (38)
Old Dominion 107.9 (72) 88.5 (16) .907 (33)
(* I didn't list this one first, because its +5 gap comes with a warning: The Irish changed their identity near the end of the season, and as Andy Cox's analysis at Crashing the Dance revealed on Tuesday, they're much hotter than the Monarchs are in March.)
3. Washington (11) vs. Marquette (6), East Region (-1)
The (speedy) Huskies and (slowed-down) Golden Eagles play at completely different paces, but their efficiency profiles are almost identical. The biggest thing to note about this game is that no matter who wins, they're far more efficient than the team they're likely to face in the second round: third-seeded New Mexico. The Lobos rank 47th overall on kenpom.com, making them the weakest No. 3 seed by far.
Adj OffEff Adj DefEff Pyth. Win%
(Nat'l Rk.) (Nat'l Rk.) (Nat'l Rk.)
Marquette 114.3 (22) 92.6 (48) .919 (28)
Washington 112.6 (32) 91.5 (38) .916 (29)
4. Minnesota (11) vs. Xavier (6), West Region (-7)
The Gophers didn't exactly dominate the Big Ten this season, but they have a strong efficiency profile that stacks up with Xavier's, and play better D than the Musketeers. These two teams are in a similar spot to Washington and Marquette: They're both more efficient than the No. 3 seed in their pod (in this case, Pittsburgh). I wouldn't be shocked to see the winner of this game make the Sweet 16.

Xavier 115.8 (15) 92.7 (50) .928 (22)
Minnesota 112.6 (32) 91.5 (38) .916 (29)
• On the flip-side, these are the 11-13 seeds with the largest gaps between them and their first-round opponent -- basically, the upsets I'd only pick if I had some (negative) inside information on the favorite:
1. New Mexico State (12) vs. Michigan State (5), Midwest Region (-91)
The Spartans have been underwhelming at times this year, but they're still a top-25 team in efficiency. New Mexico State, on the other hand, has an atrocious defense -- worse than even Iowa's or Indiana's in the Big Ten.

(Nat'l Rk.) (Nat'l Rk.) (Nat'l Rk.)

New Mex. St. 110.5 (46) 104.1 (222) .665 (115)
2. Wofford (13) vs. Wisconsin (4), East Region (-84)
The Badgers are the most efficient team in the whole East Region -- better than even No. 1 Kentucky or No. 2 West Virginia. Wofford is average on defense, and about 14 points per 100 possessions worse than UW on offense. That's not an upset formula.

Wisconsin 116.5 (13) 87.3 (7) .965 (3)
Wofford 102.8 (149) 93.1 (56) .756 (87)
3. Houston (13) vs. Maryland (4), Midwest Region (-75)
The Cougars are only in the dance because they got hot during the Conference USA tournament. They don't have the defense of a good NCAA tournament team, and the Greivis Vasquez-led Terps quietly have one of the country's most efficient scoring attacks. This one could turn into a rout.
Adj OffEff Adj DefEff Pyth. Win%

Maryland 119.1 (6) 91.7 (40) .953 (10)
Houston 111.7 (40) 101.0 (165) .762 (85)
4. Cornell (12) vs. Temple (5), East Region (-48)
A lot of people who watched the Big Red's near-upset of Kansas in January decided, right then and there, that Cornell would be their tourney-pool Cinderella. But this a bad matchup for the Ivy League champs, and not just because Owls coach Fran Dunphy is Big Red coach Steve Donahue's former mentor. Temple is a top-five defensive team that thrives in down-tempo games. Cornell's capable of reaching the second round, but it would need to get unseasonably hot to do so. The Owls are that good on D.

Thanks to Tin Tangent from MichaelHickenbottom.BlogSpot.com for sending in the following to WrestleZone.com: The following is a transcript of the upcoming Shawn Michaels interview scheduled for the April edition of WWE Magazine.
Shawn Michaels reflects on his ownership of the Show of Shows, closes the door on any future ladder matches, and shocks us with a potential request for a very personal favor from Bret Hart.
Shawn, in honor of The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, if you had to bestow the title on anyone, whom would you pronounce as the new Mr. WrestleMania?
It's been 20 years since your first 'Mania match, and back then, pay-per-views were relatively now. Did that make WrestleMania V more special?
Last year at No Mercy you were in your first ladder match in six years. When you're at home cleaning the gutters, do you have flashbacks to old matches?
Speaking of Chris Jericho, things got heated between him and your wife in the ring at SummerSlam 2008. Did you get household detention for bringing her to the pay-per-view?
Th Miz & John Morrison recently took some shots at DX. You replied by saying, "You can mock my kids, you can punch my wife in the face, but nobody mocks the chaps." What makes the chaps so sacred?
Your sense of humor carries over into matches, too, apparently. WWE referees told us you're pretty talkative in the ring. What's up with that?
We always watch your matches in awe. When was the last time you watched one of your matches and said, "Wow, I can't believe I did that?"
All right?! We're shocked to hear that! When the times comes, whom do you want to induct you into the WWE Hall of Fame?
Seriously, the Hit Man?
When you worked for JBL. All day, it must have been a drag. Did he ever stop talking?
Did you learn anything from hanging around JBL?
JBL hails from west texas. You make your home in San Antonio. What are the differences between you two lone star staters?
Have a news tip? Attended an event and want to send a live report?

25 years later, the reverend died of internal bleeding, choking on his own blood.

Water Cooler – What Next For Libya?
What we know of what is going on in Libya is the dark side of popular uprisings. As of today there are reports that the aircraft attacking protesters in the capital Tripoli It is nearly impossible to confirm the reports as there has been a virtual news black out in the North African nation. Unlike Egypt the Gaddafi regime has not allowed reporters into the country and they have done a very effective job of shutting down the internet.
What we know for sure is this; two colonels in the Libyan Air Force were among those who were ordered to bomb protesters. Instead of following this order they flew their fighter jets to the island of Malta and asked for political asylum. From the unconfirmed reports others in the Air Force were not so principled.
We know that Gaddafi has not left the country as was rumored during the day today. He made a few seconds long statement form a jeep under an umbrella tonight, saying he was in Tripoli and did not intend to leave.
We know that the city of Benghazi appears to be in the hands of the protesters and that at least some of the military have gone over the side of the popular upraising.
And we know that that there have been at least 200 deaths today alone. What started as peaceful protests have turned violent, not because of the actions of those demanding a voice in their nation, but because of the regime and at least some of the security forces deciding to fire on the protesters.
Oppressive regimes often use the threat of violence to maintain their power. But generally is it s more personal and direct violence than air strikes. By unleashing his military on the people Gaddafi has shown that he really is a despot who will not stand for even the appearance of reform at the will of the people. Not that lip service reforms would have satisfied people who have seen the largest Arab nation toppled in 18 days by people who did not resort to violence.
The warnings of Gaddafi's son may be coming true. As parts of the military desert the regime it makes the possibility of this uprising tuning into a full fledged civil war that much more likely. By moving to this kind of indiscriminate violence the prospect of a time of increasing international pressure as peaceful protests continue has been short circuited.
Now that hundreds, perhaps thousands are dead the prospect of restrain on the part of the protesters is almost certainly gone. As they are joined by parts of the military they will gain the one thing that they never had before and that is the arms needed to do more than gather and insist on a new form of government.
It is hard to know what will happen in Libya in the next few days, there is still some slim chance that the regime will realize that no matter what things will never go back to the time when they could do as they pleased with the oil wealth of that nation, when companies like BP and Shell would be their willing allies and not have to face major public relations disasters by associating with a regime that would bomb its own people. Perhaps, like in Egypt enough of the military will see where this is leading remove the Gaddafi family.
It is always great when a revolution can occur peacefully and inspire the world. The sad reality is that that is less common occurrence. Most revolutions are bloody and dangerous and they do not always succeed. There is a good chance that the violence will escalate and the Gaddafi family will hold on to control.
Only time will tell, but one thing that can be said is that the dead of today are not likely to be the last of the dead in this uprising; we will have to wait and watch hoping that the people are in fact strong enough to remove their dictator and the dictator is not callus enough to keep his throne on the blood of tens of thousands of his own people.
The floor is yours.

IMHO one of the best fashion quotes is "never say never in fashion, because you'll be wearing never in two years time" (Alexa Chung). Unless you've got a strict uniform, it's true. Once upon a time I wouldn't consider wearing a hoodie outside of a gym, but here I am wearing one of my new favourite outfits: a leather jacket, lace-up pants & velvet hoodie.
I've always had a thing for lace-up; these aren't my first lace-up pants. I bought a pair of back lace-up leggings when I was about 15 (sale Adidas by Stella McCartney, woo!). They're still my go-to workout bottoms. I always wanted a non-sporty pair but never saw any until this year.
I'm seriously impressed with these ones from SheIn. The fit is absolutely perfect which is so rare for buying pants online. They start right at my natural waist and end just above my ankles. Petite girls know what a big deal that is. The shipping was also pretty fast because SheIn has a distribution centre in Alberta (that's where the from address was on the package). Great news for my fellow Canadians.
The hoodie is proof that if it's velvet, I probably want it. That, and I was starting to feel a bit guilty about always borrowing Kirill's hoodies (*wears his hoodie while typing this*). I've noticed a lot of bloggers have stopped wearing velvet but the obsession is still strong with me. It's everything I want in a fabric: shiny, nice to touch, and comfortable. It's known as a winter fabric, but I think it's spring/summer appropriate when done in lighter colours. I've picked up a few pieces that can testify. Everything looks better in velvet, doesn't it?
Do you have any fashion 'nevers' that you started wearing?

Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) flags off Jammu Haridwar Express. In addition, Dr. Jitendra Singh holds other portfolios. These are MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy & Space. The flag off event of Jammu Haridwar Express train takes place at Baroda House, Railway headquarters.
Dr. Jitendra Singh says his personal presence has a special meaning for the occasion. He is there at Railway headquarters during the flagging off ceremony in order to convey gratitude on behalf of the people of Jammu. In fact, the Ministry of Railways has been continuously responding positively to the serious concerns of the people of Jammu. The Ministry has timely taken proper action to the needs and demands of the people of Jammu. This is something quite important that the people there are getting a quick response to their needs and demands. Rather it must be a moment of satisfaction for them.
In fact, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently flagged off the historic Kamakhya (Assam) to Katra (Vaishno Devi) train. As a matter of fact, this flagging off was less than three months ago. Moreover, this historic train covers a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers. Additionally, it connects the two destinations of great religious importance. In fact, both Kamakhya and Katra are religious pilgrimages.
Jammu Haridwar Express launched
Dr. Jitendra Singh opines at the event that a train is not merely a mode of transport. Rather it is a lot more than that. Hence, it deeply connects our psyches and cultures. Thus it instantly conjures up images of movement, progress and reaching out to people and places. Keeping in mind that India is a country of versatile cultures, it holds a lot of importance. He seconds Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dictum of "Speed, Scale, and Skill". As a matter of fact, this is very critical for growth and progress of the country and its people. In fact, the Indian Railways has been doing its best in order to follow this dictum. Rather it has earmarked its tremendous growth in the last two years. This has been happening under the strong leadership of the Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu.
Moreover, as Dr. Jitendra Singh says, it is a substantial achievement. Because the Ministry is able to expand its Railway network to the remotest parts of the country that include Kashmir Valley and Katra. As a matter of fact, the people there had never imagined of it. In addition, there will be a new Railway Station at Kathua soon. And the expansion of Udhampur Railway Station is also on the cards. Moreover, there are some small but of significant importance tasks in the pipeline. These are setting up of sitting benches and shades at Kathua, Udhampur and Ram Nagar Railway Stations. For this, the funds are already being released from his Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS).
Lastly, the progress in the construction of Railway bridge at Reasi is quite satisfactory. This is going to be a point of great strength for the Railway link between Jammu and Kashmir.
