Do you have B devices? Turn that OFF, set it to N mode only if you only have N.. If you have G then set to g only in that last screen.
Your going to want to use 40Mhz for max speed of n.
But what are your router settings?? You also quite often need to be using WPA2 for n speeds.. But shows your connected over 54 so think you need to turn on 40mhz channels and disable any B sort of connections, if all you have is n clients -- then turn off both g and b type connections.

IT all started in 2002, at a Corvette show in Orlando, when I stumbled upon modern frames for midyear Vettes. I spotted one really nice frame with a C4 suspension, big brakes, coilovers, and a modern powersteering rack. I dreamed about strapping a new LS6 and five-speed into it, then dropping a midyear body right down on top.
Having just completed a long '66 roadster project, I took the plunge and ordered the frame, then began surfing the Net for parts. Things moved fast at first, and the big pieces of the puzzle came together almost too easily. A pull-out LS6 was acquired, and a Tremec TKO conversion kit was ordered. Now the search was on for a body. This part of the process was a bit more tricky.
The goal was to find a body that I wouldn't have to paint. The first candidate was a Hugger Orange '65 coupe that looked very good initially. Upon closer inspection, however, it became clear that the car had been back-halved, and the quality of the work was not up to my standards.
Time went by, and I started to get a little frustrated. Looking at low-dollar midyear Corvettes is not a lot of fun, since cracks and bad paint are the rule. Then I saw this radical, gasser-style, purple '66 with killer paint, big flares, and a tilt nose. If I could get that nose down on the front tires, I thought, the result could be really slick. I decided to go for it.
After two summers of weekend wrenching in my buddy Mike Huber's garage, the body was on the frame, and the drivetrain was installed. We did everything ourselves, with no hired professionals, and now we had a running, driving car. I submitted some pics to Scott at www.lateral-g.net, and he was gracious enough to post them. I didn't know much about Pro Touring, but I lurked around the site and found that I really enjoyed reading the forums.
Around the same time, my interest in supercharged LS engines was sparked. I spoke with Frank Serafine from Prodigy Customs, who referred me to LS guru Mike Norris at Next Level Performance. I made the call, and Mike was kind enough to take a small road trip to check out my car. He grinned when he saw the LS6.
The next phase of the car's evolution began with a discussion Frank, Mike, and I had over beer and burritos on a late December afternoon in 2006. With access to Mike's LS expertise and Frank's customization talents, a more sophisticated, higher-end vision emerged.
The decision to redo the body came after numerous attempts to lower the car's front end for just the right look. Frank adjusted and readjusted the suspension, trying to drop the stance while maintaining the car's ride and handling. But by lowering the ride height, we were severely binding up the suspension. That, coupled with the 555 rear-wheel horsepower the car was making with the new ProCharger setup Mike had installed, seemed like a recipe for disaster. The '70s flared look was going to have to go.
Frank and Team Prodigy took on the build, with May's YearOne Experience-then just five months away-as a deadline. The entire front clip was replaced with a stock reproduction nose. All the original lights and housings were installed, along with new custom rear quarters that were roughly one inch wider than the factory pieces. The rest of the car was stripped and reblocked, and all the lines were resculpted.
In April, I took a road trip to Prodigy to see the Vette and make a final color decision. In the end, we settled on a steel-like silver, with gunmetal gray for the stripe. The gunmetal was intentionally chosen to match the centers of the Forgeline SP3P wheels Frank had installed. I was amazed at the results. By this time, YearOne was only a week away, and there was still plenty of work left to do.

But, on a 3-2 vote Tuesday, the Bay
In an interview, Nelson said he voted against moving forward because of the expense.
"Maybe we can look at it when our budget situation is better, but right now I just don't think we can afford it," he said.
Shaw said there are two options: hire the lifeguards in-house or contract with a third-party provider.
Under the in-house scenario, the county staff would recommend the work be contracted out to

Recruitment and training of lifeguards would take at least six weeks, though, Shaw said.
The second option is to direct the entities that run the park and the pier to provide lifeguards, per the county's requirements, Shaw said. But that process would take around two
"Really if you wanted to start today, to go do something, it would be very difficult to get anything down there before Labor Day," Shaw said.
A majority of commissioners remains open to the option of using lifeguards down the road, with funding from the county or the Tourist Development Council (TDC).
Thomas, however, is dug in against TDC dollars being spent. At the Tuesday meeting, the discussion largely turned into a debate between him and Tunnell about how to pursue lifeguards.
Tunnell said lifeguards would enhance safety.
"Any time you can improve the quality of public safety along the beaches, you enhance tourism," Tunnell said.
Tunnell said he wanted to look at potentially including money in the fiscal year 2013-14 budget for lifeguards next summer.
On spending TDC dollars, Thomas said
"We don't tell them where to spend that money," he said.
The issue is the people who use the park and the pier are not staying at the hotels where the bed taxes are being collected, Thomas said. They normally are within a 125-mile radius or live in-town, Thomas said.
This "would make you think that rather than a TDC burden, it should be a county or city burden," Thomas said.
Tunnell countered that it's unknown where the park and pier users live, but Thomas said that's what both the TDC and

Kelly Slater Wins The Billabong Pro Tahiti
We've run out of words to describe Kelly Slater's dominance of professional surfing so just check the photos and watch the interviews from the channel today and add you own comments. I know it sounds like a cop out (it is and I have Hinano's to drink with the boys), but seriously, what do you want to hear? How he used heat smarts and tactics to rattle his fellow competitors? How he rushed 8-10 foot Teahupo'o on a 5'9"? That he's in better shape than anyone on tour despite the fact that he's pushing the big 4-0? There's nothing new to report, Kelly is simply the most dominant surfer ever. Period.
That's it, game over. I hope it's not too late to trademark the phrase "Ke11y Slater."—Justin Coté

Pasta can expensive from Tesco's so when I'm not buying in -say- Home Bargains I tend to buy Everyday Value and have done on numerous occasions. Value do two types of dry pasta, long spaghetti and penne both 500g which is the same size as most average bags (unless you're buying the large sizes); I generally buy penne. Their spaghetti costs only 20p and penne 29p so really cheap, especially when Tesco own can be a pound for the same amount (Napolina is half price until 15/4/14 but still 65p).
The pasta comes in a plain see through bag with the 'Everyday' rebrand depicting relevant pictures. The bag is no more likely to rip open than other pasta's I buy. Penne is inch long tubes with ridges, the pasta itself is slightly duller in colour than dearer pasta's but nothing to write home about. I wanted to know what was different about the pasta to warrant such a difference in price between brands so I looked up the ingredients: Everyday Value- Durum Wheat Semolina, Soft Wheat Semolina with 355 calories per 100g as sold. Expensive brand- 100% Durum Wheat Semolina with 362 calories per 100g as sold; so similar.
To cook you just put in a large pan of boiling water for 10-12 minutes then rinse in boiling water, I find it takes a bit longer than this however. The tubes swell up to twice their size and a 500g bag of this will feed four people in our house; five at a push. But what do they taste like? Pasta really, when covered in sauce you can't tell much difference between these and more expensive brands; although there is a slight difference (value have a stronger taste) but I only noticed this after eating expensive pasta. The tubes are also firmer in comparison- but that's not a bad thing.... I would recommend this particular pasta because at that price there's not much difference in taste really, only the fact they take a bit longer to cook and slightly firmer in texture.
I have used Tesco's value penne pasta for a few years now. It is available from their stores for only 29p, where you receive a 500g packet. I find that for two of us, the packet lasts for two meals, with half of a packet used each time. To cook the pasta, all it needs is to be boiled in a pan of water until it softens. Once softened, the pasta is then drained and served alongside whatever you fancy - we have ours with either tuna mayonnaise (when the pasta has cooled) or with mince and pasta sauce to make a pasta bolognese. Although it is cheap, it tastes delicious and is great for the simple meals that we use it for. For fancier dinner meals, I do sometimes purchase fresh pasta as a treat but for weekday teas and lunches, the value pasta is perfect for our needs. I have always found that it takes longer than most other pastas to boil up - I usually boil the kettle first, then use that boiled water in the pan on the hob so I'm not having to wait for the hob to heat the water from scratch but even doing that I find it takes about 12 minutes to get close to softening (fresh pasta I buy for weekends usually takes about 4 minutes). Now I know exactly how long the pasta takes to soften I can plan the cooking of the mince etc around it so it's not a big issue but it may not be the best choice if you see pasta as providing a very quick meal. I also find that water sometimes holds within the pasta after draining as it is tubular being penne, however this isn't particular to this value type, that is something I've found with the penne variety in general. I would recommend this pasta, it's a great food to have in the cupboard and one I use when I come home from work and need to produce a relatively quick meal for us. It tastes good and is very cheap too.
Last night I had friends coming round . Now normally we would have a takeaway but I'm taking part In a no buy month so I had to make do with what's in the cupboard. One of my friends would be described as quite a snob (only buys marks and Spencer's food) and quite actively moans about value or saver ranges. i finally decided to make a home pride pasta dish with some added cheese and chicken.The question was would my guests like it or would they talk me into a takeaway.
This comes in a clear plastic(non resealable) bag with the tesco logo on the front and the contents listed on the back. Not very stylish but hey its basic and serves its purpose. I would normally store pasta etc in jars anyway so not being able to seal the bag doesn't bother me
**The verdict**
I followed the instructions for making a homepride pasta bake then i added in extra pieces of chicken.I have made pasta bakes before and the guests didn't think it tasted any different (maybe they didn't want to upset me ). I personally didn't notice any difference and i think with this type of dish the actual pasta used isn't that important because you are adding other flavors to it.I don't know if i would like it in a pasta pot style dish (like the ones you get from a sandwich chiller) I don't think the taste and texture is quite right.
**Guideline Daily Amount Summary**
Calories 265 -13%of your GDA
Sugar 2g -2%of your GDA
Fat -1g-2%of your GDA
Saturates 1g-2%of your GDA
**Price/where to buy**
Its a Tesco product and currently costs 29p for 500g.The asda version is the same price so i would say its good value,i can stick it in with a price promise shop and not have to worry about losing out.
I would recommend this for sauce based dishes but not sure how it would do in a salad. The pack size is annoying as it serves 2 1/2 pasta bakes but that's just me nit picking.
Everyone is trying to cut back nowadays and with a new arrival in the house even more so now. My son loves pasta and would probably eat it for every meal if I let him wherein lies my problem we get through bags and bags of the stuff. Although brands and supermarkets own labels aren't that badly priced I was buying more pasta than cat food a month! So a change was needed and after trying other basis label food I decided to give this pasta a whirl.
Like most basis food the packaging is not going to be winning any awards for innovation or attractiveness nor durability. I find that once opened it needs to go somewhere a jar, pot, box or somewhere. Unlike the more expensive packets there is no resealable sticker so once opened its open.
The penne once out of the packets looks like........penne pasta surprise surprise and there's no wave a magic wand and spin around dance in one foot jiggery pokery needed just get out the saucepan and add water and salt if that's how you do it or not if you don't and put on the hob. Once you think the waters ready add the required amount of pasta a feat I struggle with I tend to have extra left over portion control is brilliant but for this price that's not an issue and usually means pasta for lunch at work.
Once cooked it looks and tastes like pasta but then again unless spending a fortune on expensive pasta then you probably won't notice the difference we don't and my cupboard looks tidy with jars in it instead of half used packets.
If your a food snob avoid if your looking at cost cutting then give it a try and let it become a staple for your cupboard too.
I am really on a spending cull at the moment, and so in trying to live frugally I am trying Supermarket Basics/Value/Smartprice brand products to see if we can live with it. I was wandering through Tesco with my sister about a month ago, when I spotted this pasta and remembering our bag at home was almost finished I figured it would be worth a shot for only 29p!
The packaging has been updated so not as unaesthetic in appearance, as it is a clear packet, with the Tesco Everday Value label in the middle and pictures of pasta, bowls, spoons and vegetables in a brown logo so looks a lot less basic! A pack is 500g which is a decent sized bag for us!
The penne is dry, and made of Durum Wheat Semolina and Soft Wheat Semolina. Just looking at them through the bag, they do not look any less in quality than the Tesco Penne where 1kg costs £1.45 - a pretty big jump in price. The quills I would say are somewhat smaller, but they are all whole, there isn't a bag full of broken, squished pasta quills they are all a solid shape.
To make the pasta, it is quick and easy to do by boiling the penne in water for 10-12 minutes. Pasta is one of the easiest things to make, and this is no different, so when the water is bubbling I always add a splash of salt and pour in the required amount of pasta and leave it to do it's thing and voila! Dinner is almost ready.
I have used this penne to make chicken arrabiata, and also in pasta bolognese (when we are out of spaghetti) or even with a mushroom sauce and chicken and in all variations we have loved eating this pasta and not noticed any real difference! It could be because most dishes I cook mask the flavour of the pasta as there is always a meat and sauce to accompany it, but my daughter is rather fussy and always likes her pasta dry, so I tend to dish her dinner up with the pasta and then the sauce/meat on the side and she has wolfed this pasta down numerous times with no complaints!
On the whole, I really recommend this pasta as a cheap, perfectly edible pasta variation and I will now be seeking to try some of the others in this range such as the spaghetti. For tagliatelle/linguine I will most likely stick with the normal Supermarket brands but this is great for a cupboard staple that doesn't break the bank! A 500g bag at 29p which in our house has made at least 4 servings so far, with half the bag left makes the overall costs of our dinners really affordable and leaves lots of money leftover for the bills!
Unfortunately now I have an extra mouth to feed, I am having to find a few ways to stretch my money out further.
When doing the weekly shop a couple of weeks back, I was looking at pasta when my eyes fell upon this.
Tesco Everyday Value penne. At just 29p for a 500g bag.....
When you compare that to Napolina at £1.30, or even just Tesco regular range at 95p, that really is quite a saving. And the way I see it, how much difference can there be in dried pasta?
The pasta itself comes in a cellophane bag which unlike the pricier brands, does not have a re sealable sticky bit on it to keep the bag sealed. To be honest, that doesn't bother me at all as I tip the whole lot into a pasta jar anyway.
The pasta is not extraordinary in any way shape or form. It's just like every other dried pasta I have ever bought (except for the cheaper price!)
So once boiled in water, how does it taste?
Exactly the same as every other pasta I have ever cooked. Seriously. As I had expected, how much different can one pasta taste? It doesn't taste slimy or rough or grainy at all, in fact it doesn't taste any different from the more expensive brands I used to buy.
Of course the pasta isn't exactly "tasty" - it is of course a very bland tasting product after all - isn't that why we always smother it in sauce and cheese?
But texture wise this stuff is fine. Nice and springy and smooth.
I would recommend the switch to this cheaper brand to anyone. It tastes no different to any other brand but the coat saving is significant. And if you are a brand snob who doesn't like the Everyday Value range - go and buy yourself a pasta jar!
I eat pasta a couple of times a week - and when I do I have it in vast quantities. I'm not greedy - I just like lots and lots!
The Baron avoids carbs, so when I make pasta it is just for me - with the amount I eat there wouldn't be much room left in the pot if we were both having some.
I always have at least three bags of Tesco Everyday Value Penne Pasta in the food cupboard. The packaging, like all Tesco Value products, has been updated (I'm actually feeling quite nostalgic for those old distinctive designs!).
Penne is the name for little tubed-shaped pasta pieces or "quills" as they are often referred to. They have a little pointy "nib" at each end and lines all round the outside of the tube. It cooks easily in about ten minutes in boiling water on the hob. I know most people prefer their pasta "Al dente" but I like mine cooked right through. I find that the Value penne is great quality for my taste - perhaps if you did prefer your pasta al dente the quality might not be so good, but I can't tell as I've never cooked it this way.
The bag weight is 500g, and I find that half a bag does me for one good meal, plus a little bit left over to bring into work for lunchtime.
I usually have pasta hot with bolognaise, and I also have it with chilli instead of rice, because I like the way the little tubes fill up with sauce! Sometimes I just stir in some tomatoes and herbs, but try to avoid butter or oils - I eat so much quantity I have to keep an eye on some of the calories at least. I used it once or twice in a pasta bake when I had lots of people to cook for. I had no complaints, but although I like thoroughly cooked pasta, I found my pasta bakes very mushy and bland - this probably had more to do with my preparation than the quality of the Value pasta as I do hold back on those naughty things like butter and cream.
I also have it cold in a pasta salad - my favourite mix is low fat mayonnaise, chopped red and green peppers and sweetcorn. Again, like hot pasta I'll eat this by the bucket.
Tesco Everyday Value also has pasta available in spaghetti and in lasagne sheets. I often also buy these both: I like them all and I find the quality is fine.
As far as the calories go, 100g of the pasta as sold is 335 calories, so my portion (with the little bit left out for lunch) will have close to a scary 800 calories, so you can see why I don't indulge in butter or oils! I've recently got myself a lovely big pasta serving dish - but use this for my meal plate alone!
Currently the pack is priced at 29p, so it is great value, especially for me as I'm clearly going for quantity.
Maybe sometime I'll treat myself to a nice premium brand pasta and see if I can spot the difference.
However, just now the quality is fine for me, and along with a really tasty sauce (I make in bulk and stash in individual portions in the freezer) it's a cheap satisfying meal - and while I've yet to get the hang of portion control, at least price control is taken care of!
Thanks for reading.

Made in Italy.
New packaging from the image above.

500 grams and with a long shelf life - mine is up to April 2015.
It takes 12 minutes to cook in boiled slightly salted water.
75 grams per person which is equal to 265 calories.
1 inch long and with chiselled ends.

Ingredients - Duran wheat semolina and soft wheat semolina.
Recipe suggestion on the packet - mine was for Penne Arrabblata.
Other Tesco's Penne is 95p for the same amount or £2 for Cooks Italian Penne.
===My Opinion===
Well I have often bought this inexpensive pasta, mostly for my son and his girlfriend who tend to go through a vast amount.
They are made of round tubes of slightly ridged pasta which are cut into one inch shapes on the diagonal to give pointed ends to each piece.
However I have not really been much of a pasta eater so hadn't tried it myself - though they ate it and never complained - so it couldn't have been that bad.
However recently I had some medical problems and was advised to go on a bland diet, so when ordering from Tesco I bought myself some of this Penne, as well as white rice and spaghetti.
The packaging is basic but adequate. the instructions are clear - just boil in slightly slated water for around 12 minutes. My pasta cooks fine in 12 minutes and i have been eating it on its own, with just a tiny sprinkling of salt and later on a little pepper.
Now you can imagine eating pasts in this way is not very inspiring but it does give me a great idea of what the pasta is actually like, as if the product was covered in a flavoured sauce it would be harder to for a proper impression of the Tesco Value Penne.
I found this pasta cooks well, is cooked without being too soggy and soft. Admittedly if does not have a lot of flavour when eaten plain, but then that is the nature of pasta and when I eat spaghetti it is just the same.
This Penne is great value and with a long shelf life is good to keep in your store cupboard and inexpensive meals.
My son eats this with just some grated cheese over the top or sometimes they make their own sauces or use shop-bought ones.
I have also over the years used half a tin of vegetable soup with a plate of pasts to make a quick and cheap meal - which is also filling - it can also be topped with cheese for even more flavour.
Although the bargain end of Tesco products I find nothing wrong with this Penne so do not see any need to buy a more expensive product.
Apparently Penne comes in two sorts - either smooth or ridged - this product is slightly ridged. It can be eaten hot or cold in salads. The ridges and hollow centre help it hold sauces.
The name Penne is derived form the Latin penna meaning "feather" or "quill" - as it has pointed chiselled ends as would have been used when people wrote with quills.
===Star Rating===
5 stars.
===Would I Recommend?===
If you consume a lot of pasta and resent having to spend over a pound for a packet that just gets eaten with no thought then consider trying this tesco value brand.
This pasta is slightly off colour, between brown and white pasta, this makes no difference to the taste however and if eaten with either a jar or homemade sauce you cannot tell that it is a cheaper brand.
It costs around 59p for a 500g bag, although I have seen a larger packet available in the bigger tesco stores. In one particular one I saw a whole sack of it! This could be a good option for those in larger families or students on a budget.
The pasta itself takes around 8minutes to cook when added to boiling water, add some salt to taste and then add your sauce and meat of choice.
The packaging is very plain with the majority of the bag being see through. The standard tesco value decorations of red and blue cover the front and there is also a brief description of the fats and calories on the front if you are interested in that information. I find that cooking for two people a bag of 500g lasts for 3-4 meals. It also tastes great in pasta salads the next day so do keep it in the fridge if you make too much.
The taste is worse than fresh pasta but compared to other dried pasta brands there is no real difference in quality. As it is a carbohydrate make sure that you dont just eat this and eat a balanced diet.
I have been using this pasta for a little over a year now, and this is the pasta I will always choose when I'm out shopping at Tesco. It's an absolute bargain! You get 500g grams of pasta in a bag so it's enough to do a couple of meals, and the current price on the Tesco's website is only 30p! You can't really go wrong with that, although I have noticed that the price of this pasta tends to vary week to week in store. I've seen it for as cheap as 16p, another week it will be 59p. Either way, it's always a super cheap option!
I tend to cook pasta a lot, and I'm a big fan of Italian food, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with this pasta. I genuinely can't tell the difference between this and some of the other more expensive and well known brands. It takes 12 minutes to cook, and I haven't noticed it sticking. I will generally give it a stir every so often though just to make sure. I think this is pretty tasty, and once you put your sauce on it, I doubt anyone would be able to tell the difference.
The packaging is pretty basic, but who cares about that really when its going in your cupboard! It's not resealable but that doesn't tend to bother me to be honest. I think this pasta is ideal for students, people on a budget, or really anyone that doesn't want to waste money on a product that tastes pretty much the same as the more expensive brand!
A definite must buy!
Tesco own brand Penne Pasta is an okay everyday product if you're not wanting to cook something really special to impress. I do use if from time to time to feel my family because it's very inexpensive compared to other brands. A 500g bag of pasta (enough for a whole family) cost me just 59p from Tesco - and so throw in a little chicken, bacon, chilli and passata sauce and you have a pretty decent and inexpensive meal that is easy to prepare and good to eat. The bag isn't resealable, but as this is dried pasta it's not that important really and I would tend to transfer it to a Tupperware dish anyway if I wasn't to use it all in one go.
This pasta is dried and it needs to be boiled in salted water for approximately 12 minutes to have the pasta al dente. The pasta doesn't stick together and it remains a nicely formed penne pasta shape and it made out of wholemeal and so isn't bad for your health either. The pasta has an okay flavour to it, but it is clearly not as tasty as fresh pasta - but having said that, it is considerably cheaper as well. When it's mixed together in a sauce or in a bake it's a nice texture and there isn't really a lot to fault that I wouldn't fault about other dried pastas.
Overall, I would recommend this pasta for everyday use, but would suggest fresh pasta for something a little bit more special.
I love pasta. It is so easy to prepare and you can create lovely sauces to accompany it and it is easy to cook. Every store cupboard should have a packet! If you don't mind the fact that this penne comes from the Value range, then I recommend you try it.
I usually use penne for my pasta dishes as it is quite versatile, and I love the way it kind of fills with the sauce you use with it. It's great to stir into bolognais sauce and easy to make pasta bakes with.
Tesco Value pasta may be really cheap, but it is really good value for money in my opinion. At 18p for a 500g pack, it will make several family meals, so a really good buy.
This pasta only takes about 10-12 minutes to cook in boiling, slightly salted water after which you can use it in any which way you like. It tastes quite good, and if cooked correctly it has a nice texture. I usually use about 75g per person and find that is quite filling for most people, once you add whatever sauce you want. Stir-in sauces are easy to use for a quick meal, though I tend to cook my sauces from fresh.
This pasta is made from Duram wheat semolina and soft wheat semolina, so obviously if you have an allergy to this it will not be suitable for you. Not actually sure what the difference is between the two different types of semolina though. I'm not sure whether this pasta contains egg (some pasta does), though it doesn't list it on the ingredients. I have an intollerance to egg and have eaten this with no problems though, so I guess not.
Nutritionally, a 75g serving has 265 calories and only 1.1g of fat, so really quite healthy. It is very easy to store too and will keep for ages if you put it into an airtight container once opened.
I always buy this penne now and my daughter, who is at uni, so on a very tight budget, virtually lives off the stuff!
Really excellent value for money!
I get through a lot of pasta as it's an easy no-effort tea for weeknights. I use pasta for pasta bake (for baking in the oven with the sauce) and also for boiling on the hob, and this Tesco value pasta fulfils all these functions and tastes just as nice as the expensive stuff.
The packaging looks quite cheap, but the less snobby of us who like looking after our pennies don't mind the blue and red stripes that signify Tesco value products. Besides, once you've taken it home and poured it into your glass pasta jar it all looks the same so nobody needs to know! It comes in a clear packet with a red stripe across it so you can see the product inside the packet.
This pasta is excellent value, costing in the region of 18p for 500g. I use about half a bag each time I cook pasta, and this serves two of us, so we get two meals for two out of a bag which usually lasts us a week depending on what else we're having that week. The price does fluctuate between branches and at different times for some reason, I think my mum once bought it for 13p (and must have repeated this fact to me several times during the same visit!), but even so it's always the cheapest on the shelf so we tend to stock up and throw a few in the trolley when we're running low.
Penne is quite distinctive in shape, and I think this is the only shape that Tesco do in the value range, but for the price you can't be too fussy really! Pasta tends to taste the same to me regardless of brand or shape, I think it depends what you're cooking with it that gives the meal its taste so I don't see the point in spending more when there's no need.
It takes about 10 minutes to cook on the hob, and goes a slightly lighter colour when cooked. The texture is nice and soft and it's easy to chew which makes it easy to digest. It goes well with all sorts of pasta sauces, Bolognese etc and I think the shape of this pasta works with most of these kinds of meals.
The nutritional information per 75g serving (and percentage of recommended daily allowance) is as follows:
Calories 265 (13%)
Sugar 2g (2%)
Fat 1g (2%)
Saturates 1g (2%)
Salt - Trace
So all in all it's a good healthy accompaniment to whatever sauce you're putting it with, and a fantastic money saver
We often eat pasta in our house. I find it extremely filling. Its also ideal as Im a vegetarian and my husband is a big meat eater so I often make a vegetarian pasta dish and he has meat in some form or another with it. I've recently been buying Tesco Value Pasta but I didn't tell Mark at first because he always said he dint fancy it.
Tesco Penne is only 17p for a 500g bag making it much cheaper than Tesco regular brand.
It is sold in a clear cellophane bag with a red band across the middle with Penne written across it. The bag shows the Tesco Value logo and also gives the GDA's for a 75g serving. These are:-
Calories 262
Sugar 1.9g
Fat 1.19g
Saturates 0.4g
Salt trace
The back of the pack gives the cooking instructions along with a more detailed list of nutritional information. There is a small piece of allergy advice to say that the pasta contains wheat and gluten and Tesco cannot guarantee that it hasn't been produced in a nut free factory. All of this information is repeated in 5 other languages.
Penne as I'm certain everyone knows are small pasta tubes with pointed ends, I always prefer using this shape because any sauce I make fills the tubes, although I don't know if Tesco actually do any other type of pasta in their value range anyway. I've only ever seen penne in my local Tesco. The pasta tubes look just like any other type of pasta except maybe the tubes are slightly smaller.
I use this regularly, it cooks nicely in approximately 10minuets depending on how you like you like your pasta, and personally I don't think it tastes any different to any dried pasta I've ever bought. It has a nice texture and flavour.
I make sauces and we use this value pasta for pasta bake or we have this cold in salads. What ever I've done with it the pasta has always tasted good, even if its a very quick snack of baled beans and grated cheese on top of it.
As I mentioned I didn't tell Mark I had bought the Value pasta and just served pasta dishes as normal. I used half the pack before I made my confession and he had to admit that there was no difference in texture or taste.
I would definitely recommend giving this a try, it really is very good for the price. It doesn't matter whether you are making hot pasta dishes with or without meat or cold pasta salad dishes for parties and BBQ's this pasta is ideal. It tastes nice and has a good texture. I agree its not in the same league as fresh pasta but compared to other dried pasta it stands up very well.
Having two children who love pasta I've been buying different types for some time - I don't have the energy, skills or time to make my own pasta, just as I've given up baking bread and cakes. On a huge budget drive for more than a year now I've tried the value brands of most of my regular purchases and Tesco Value Penne Pasta is a regular re-purchase.
This pasta is one of the very few budget brands that has actually gone down in price since I first purchased it, whilst most have gone up by about 30-40% this has dropped from an already excellent 32p for 500gms to 18p for the same amount. It is a smaller bag than I would normally buy, but at this price I can always buy a few bags and still come out better off.
The penne/quills are a nice size, pretty standard, being not the jumbo type but the 'aperture'/width does seem a tad narrower than other similar penne quills. The length is also a pretty standard at about an inch to an inch and a half long. On the (usual basic) value packaging it recommends that you add to boiling salted water and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, I must admit that I don't like my pasta al dente, and to get this pasta cooked but not soggy it takes a good 15 - 20 minutes. Not just longer than the instructions but longer than other similar products.
My girls really like pasta bake and I tend to use penne pasta to make it, this pasta is in my opinion pretty awful in a pasta bake. Every single time I have used it the pasta has failed to cook or absorb the sauce in the allotted time, the first time I used it for this I had to throw away the bake. I have tried adding a little more liquid and cooking for longer at a slightly higher temperature, but the results while only just edible were still very disappointing, to the point where I won't use this pasta for bakes anymore. For general pasta dishes where you can simply boil/simmer the product it is perfectly acceptable.
I wouldn't say the flavour or the texture is anything special, I may be a heathen but pasta to me generally doesn't taste of anything much (unless it is specifically flavoured), and is best as a carbohydrate base for delicious sauces, and this fulfils that function perfectly adequately.
It is what it is, a cheap alternative to a common everyday product, which does the job but has limitations. I will continue to buy it as long as it remains cheap, if the price rises close to other Tesco own brand pasta or a 'branded' product (as their value toilet tissue recently did, but in fairness the quality improved too) then I will jump ship without a second thought.
Ingredients are given as with most pasta:
Durum Wheat Semolina,Soft Wheat Semolina

In today's fast-paced world, it seems everyone is all about instant gratification. Usually the terms "instant gratification" and "horsepower" don't go together. Until now. Spectre Performance has an intake kit for the fifth-gen Camaro that is simple to install and adds horsepower across the entire RPM range-we saw 10 HP at peak to the back wheels of an automatic-transmission-equipped Camaro SS with the 400-horse L99 engine (dyno tested with the hood down).
Spectre told us it saw gains of 21 HP on a different car that had a few mods in place. It even has an intake for the 3.5L V-6 Camaros that adds 14 HP at some points in the RPM range. The intake kits bolts in with no modifications to the car with simple hand tools and are C.A.R.B. exempt for all the California owners.
An engine is basically a large air pump, firing off a combination of fuel and air. The more air the engine can ingest, the more horsepower it has the potential to make. Also, a free-breathing engine will have a little better throttle response, as the delay of air getting in is reduced. The Spectre intake allows more airflow and, in turn, increases the engine's ability to produce power.
The V-8 and V-6 kits can be had for less than 300 bucks and also provide that nice deep muscle car sound when you hammer the "Go" pedal. The factory intakes have a small muffler/sound suppression chamber built in to quiet the air induction under hard acceleration, which is eliminated with the Spectre intake. So if you have a new Camaro that could use more power and you can find 10 minutes of wrench time, then you should consider the Spectre intake kit.

If in 10 days Hendricks doesn't do the VADA, make a note of it. If he fails a test make a big deal about it... but until then there is no news story here. Even if he doesn't do the VADA he's with in his right not too. Maybe he's too busy training and chewing chaw. I don't really care. Wake me up on fight night, and if fails the test.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

Yeah, Bye.
Edit; i owe you some rep, gotta spread some around first but in the near future you will get some.
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
No he hasn't in this instance, I agree. I was busting his balls for greasing during the BJ Penn fight way back when... I repeat, there is no news story here. Just two guys training to fight. If GSP wants to take extra tests that's awesome, if he wants to pay for Hendricks to take them that cool too.
No news but the gsp dick riders talk shit but when it "turns around on gsp" they cry lol.
I agree with it not being news. Just getting old with the gsp dick riding tho. The guy's fights are nothing but a snoozefest these days.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by irina_xs Beautiful piece! This vest is a really beautiful and unique item that goes well with just about everything, from flare jeans to cutoffs to dresses and skirts. The quality is good, although there were a couple of loose threads. I also found it fitting TTS (I wear XS/0, and XS fit great). It is a truly versatile piece that adds bohemian chick to any outfit. 3.30.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rsrock Bohemian Perfection I love this vest. Ordered a Small (my usual size in Free People) but the vest was way too big and too long, so I exchanged it for the XS. Wonderful textures...beautiful textiles & embroidery. The design, colors, patterns, are so bohemian. It is pretty expensive, but I think it is definitely worth the investment. 3.18.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Gshilly Too big Ordered my size but the vest was way too big and too long so I returned it. Otherwise, a very well designed vest. 3.15.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by DarlaD773 Didn't fit I ordered this vest in a small and extra small. The vest has a panel on both sides which caused it to make my hips look big. I sent them back. Made me look like a pear. 3.13.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Lovefppl Not wowed This vest, in my opinion, is just ok. I like the idea of it but the execution didn't turn out as well as I envisioned. The back of mine is a bit shorter than the front and sides and it appears to be loosely together in a few spots but I intend to keep it because I feel I will still get use out of it for all four seasons and can repair it if it unravels. Overall it is ok. Small fit fine for 36D 120 lbs 5'5" 3.3.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jana sue super boho =) i bought this to wear over a simple tank or tee, but when it arrived, i paired it with the 'long sleeve pintuck texture tunic.' WOW! easy '70s, amazing look ... i love the way the two pieces complement each other with jeans. fun look! the vest is made with very solid workmanship and with care should last a very long time. 2.20.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by GroovyBunny Poetic Vibe I feel like I should be reciting poetry in a coffeehouse when I wear this vest. Itâs so bohemian. Itâs a navy blue, but this dark background brings out the bright blue, burnt orange, and cream design and the raised stitching in cream and hot pink on the front panels. The colors seem to change depending on what I wear with it. When I wore it with a lavender sweater and skirt, the blue-orange combination magically took on a purple hue. The one thing I would change about the vest is the side insets. Theyâre cute, but they cause the vest to puff out at the hips a little. Thereâs also a hook closure in the front that Iâve seen on other FP cardigans. I donât like this hook because when worn open as itâs designed to be worn, the hook only serves to snag long necklaces, scarves, and other delicate accessories. Fortunately, this hook is easily removed. Itâs just looped into the crochet. I carefully worked it out of the crochet with my fingers and youâd never know it was ever there. 2.20.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by RedMoon A Treasure! I love this vest. It is even nicer in person then the photos show. Very nice nice quality and beautiful crochet along the sides. I am usually between a medium and a large in FP tops and went with the medium. If you are between sizes I would recommend sizing down. The arm holes are large and sizing down gives it a more fitted appearance. The colors are beautiful both earthy and bright at the same time. I will get a lot of wear out of this. I love vests and it instantly dresses up any outfit. 2.13.2013

Why is honey a big no-no on a vegan diet? True, it's made by animals (bees) but it's not like we're eating the bees! Personnaly I like honey in my hot tea. I've tried substituting Agave Nectar for the honey but the taste isn't the same. Since my younger brother is highly allergic to bee stings, I have no problem killing a few bees!
It's true - honey is not a vegan product, as it is from an animal. If someone can't live without the taste of honey and also wants to follow a 100% vegan diet, there is a product on the market to fit the bill: http://www.veganstore.com/product/just-like-honey-rice-nectar/vegan-sauces-and-more.
It tastes just like honey!
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
But keep in mind, Jennifer, that these decisions are yours. Respectfully, this is a vegan site, however, many people following a plant- based, whole-foods plan do eat honey. It's all on your personal philosophy and why you are doing what you are doing. Basically, organic, raw honey is not unhealthy in small amts.
Thank you so much Susan! I did a little research on honey and learned it is made when bees regurgitate the pollen/nectar from the plants. That was enough to turn me off honey. I went on the site for The Vegan Store and ordered the syrup you recommended as well as some vegan vitamins. That's a wonderful site!
The order I placed with The Vegan Store just this past Sunday, arrived today. That was quick! The rice nectar really does taste like honey and there's NOT an "after-taste". The vitamins say to take 3 pills each day, one with each meal. However, I'm on a very limited budget. I've studied the label on the vitamin bottle and it looks like I could safely take only 1 pill each day. True, spreading vitamin intake through out the day makes them better absorbed. These vitamins are fairly large; they don't have a score mark, but couldn't I still split them with a pill splitter and take one pill, half in the morning and half at night? That would make this one bottle last 3 times as long.

The Audi A8 has long been the flagship sedan model and is all new for the 2011 model year. Now better equipped than ever before and ready to take on the BMW and Mercedes models, the A8 is loaded up with all the rich features that you would expect of a luxury sedan. The A8 even has a high tech information center that makes use of inputs from a touchpad located on the center console. This system can show you all sort of information about your vehicle, surrounding traffic and can even plot out your trip on the built in gps navigation system.The new body style is larger than previous models, but the all aluminum frame allows for an almost even trade off in weight. The base models engine is now a 4.2 L V-8 giving 372 HP and over 320 foot pounds of torque. When this high powered engine is parred with the Audi Quattro all wheel drive system, you have a match made in heaven. The A8 offers a long wheel base option to allow for more luxury and lounge space.

Just sayin', the sets were rarely wobbly. I have seen a few wobble, but you were more likely to see the shadows of the actors or boom mikes on what was supposed to be a distant moonscape than seeing them wobble.

Relief Representation of a Battle Scene
The walls of New Kingdom temples frequently show the king triumphing over Egypt's enemies. Such reliefs either depict idealized versions of actual historical events or serve as propaganda warning foreigners of the inevitable destruction that would follow acts of hostility against Egypt. Symbolically, these scenes represent the victory of Egyptian universal order over the forces of chaos living in foreign lands. In such battle scenes, the Egyptian army, as the defender of Ma'at, is invariably arranged in orderly groupings while the enemy scatters in disarray.
This block has recently been identified as coming from a monumental wall relief commemorating a military victory in Syria by King Tutankhamun. On the accompanying reconstruction of the entire scene, we see a fundamental convention of Egyptian art: relative size implying relative importance. The king, who coordinates all attempts to preserve Ma 'at, is far larger than his chariot forces, infantry, and fan-bearers. Note how the Syrians lie in a confused mass under the ordered charge of the Egyptian chariots.

Award in the category of Faith & Hope from Community Connections Network
Publications (CCN). The gala takes place on Saturday, May 4, 2013, at the
Miller Coors Stables in Milwaukee.
The Midwest Urban Empowerment Awards recognizes influential individuals in
the region. "Our award nominees have been instrumental in helping to
enrich the lives of people throughout the Midwest region and beyond,"
stated CCN publisher Malinda Young.

administrator for the Grand Rapids-based Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community
Center- a world-class facility which allows unprecedented access to
life-changing educational, recreational, cultural and spiritual activities for
inner city youth and families.
"I am humbled and honored to receive the Midwest Urban Empowerment
Award. Spiritual work is important to The Salvation Army because we need to be
saving souls. The genesis of what we do is spirituality, so we do our outreach
because of that. We need to serve suffering humanity. The Salvation Army is
Christianity with its sleeves rolled up," said Major Ross.
Faithe Colas joined The Salvation Army in November of 2007 as the community
relations director. Celebrating 5 years with The Salvation Army, Colas manages
public & media relations activities and marketing for The Salvation Army of
Milwaukee County. "As I look back on my career, I recognize that
I've always been involved in service leadership in some capacity both
professionally and personally. The Salvation Army has allowed me to take this
service to a higher level. My name, Faithe, guides me everyday in the work I
do. I am truly appreciative of this honor."
About The Salvation ArmyThe Salvation Army, an
evangelical part of the universal Christian church,
has been supporting those in need in His name without discrimination since
1865. Nearly 33 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army
each year through the broadest array of social services that range from
providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance for the

Le Pont japonais; jardin; rouge;
Oscar Claude Monet is considered the archetypal Impressionist, with his devotion to painting the transient effects of light and color "en plein air" unwaveringly throughout his long career. Appropriately, it is one of his pictures, Impression: Sunrise, which gave the group of artists painting in this style its name.
Born in Paris, Monet attended L'Academie Suisse from 1859-60 and subsequently enrolled in the studio of Glenyre, where he met Renoir and Sisley, with whom he formed the nucleus of the Impressionist group. He organized the first Impressionist exhibit in 1874 and became the group's leader, initiator and unswerving advocate. Monet moved to Giverny in 1883, planting the extensive gardens and lily ponds that would provide the inspiration for his later works.
From 1890 he concentrated on a series of pictures in which he painted the same subject at different times of the day in different light. The most popular of these are the Haystacks and Rouen Cathedral series. He continued to travel widely, visiting London and Venice several times, yet increasingly he focused his attention on Giverny. There, the celebrated water gardens inspired the Water Lilies series that dominated his work for the remainder of his life.

Celebrate the Earth
On Earth DayApril
22show your commitment to a clean environment by volunteering
for a cleanup effort in your community or initiating a cleanup effort
in your school, on your street, along roadsides, vacant lots, or
other local areas. Remind your friends not to litter.
Organize a recycling drive in your neighborhood or school. Collect bottles, glass, plastic, and newspapers and take them to your local recycling center.
Share the ride and the road. When going to work or school, try carpooling, biking, walking, or riding public transportation to reduce pollution.
Check with local repair shops to see if they can use your old appliances for spare parts.
Earth Day is also a good time to start your spring cleaning. Make sure you're properly maintaining home appliances and keeping them clean, which keeps them running at peak efficiency. This saves electricity, which conserves resources and reduces global warming. Remove lint and dust from your refrigerator coil and freezer. Clean up lint around your dryer, furnace, and any vents leading to or from them. Also, change or clean the filter in your air purifier or furnace.
For spring cleaning chores, try to use nondisposable items such as mops and reusable rags or sponges. When using household cleaning products, be sure that you only use the amount you need, and that you read and follow the manufacturer's directions for use and disposal.
For spring lawns, remember all pesticides are toxic to some degree. Try spot-treating problem areas with pesticides, rather than treating the whole yard. Plant trees, shrubs, or other greenery to help reduce carbon dioxide in the air.
