In 2000, Eminem was frequently vilified as a hatemonger, homophobe, and misogynist; in 2002, he was on the shortlist for Time magazine's "Man of the Year." America loves a tale of redemption almost as much as one of comeuppance, but at the start of the decade you'd have gotten pretty long odds on the media and cultural elite spinning the Marshall Mathers yarn as the former before the latter. And yet, somewhere between hugging Elton onstage at the Grammys and sending that guy in the Pistons jersey to pick up his Oscar, Em was feted by many of America's best-known cultural crits, columnist, and pundits: Frank Rich, Andrew Sarris, Maureen Dowd, Greil Marcus, Neal Gabler, and Paul Slansky (among others) either laid garlands at his feet or rhapsodized about the supposed transformation of the rapper/actor.
The epistolary weepie "Stan" and the survivalist self-helpisms of "Lose Yourself" played a part in the slow mainstream media embrace of Eminem, but it's that "slash" that seemed to complete the embrace. For whatever reason, a film career can do that-- maybe it's the ability for a lengthy narrative to be more explicitly mutli-dimensional or maybe it's just lazy thinking and knee-jerk reactionary assumptions about pop, but you're now as likely to see Em torn down on Vibe than The New York Times Magazine.
Well, Maureen, Andrew, and Greil, get ready to be excited; most of the rest of you-- the ones who've been held enthrall by Em's complex games of shifting his identity, challenging hypocrisy, baiting liberal guilt, and spitting deft rhymes with his labyrinthine flow-- prepare for disappointment: Encore is a fourth fascinating record from Eminem, but it's also easily his weakest and, in many ways, tamest album to date.
Eminem's reaction to respectability seems to have been to move in two different directions: introspection and reconciliation on the one side, and bodily fluid-obsessed humor on the other. Tracks in which Em offers confessions, explanations, and apologies for previous comments and his participation in high-profile beefs share time here with belching, farting, vomiting, and urinating. He's also scrubbed his lyrics of homophobia (instead, the fascinating and eyebrow-raising homoeroticism hinted at on The Eminem Show-- and literally fleshed out in his music video cross-dressing-- colors a handful of his songs here) and, save a few blasts at Kim, any elements of misogyny.
Therefore, if Encore is anything, it's a transitional record. After an image-confounding trio of pseudo self-titled records, the Eminem of Encore is wounded and weary; he's removing the layers of meta, still laughing and nodding but rarely winking, and not disappearing behind what The Village Voice's Frank Kogan once labeled Em's lyrical "trapdoors and escape hatches." Instead, the LP is the sound of a man who seems bored of re-branding and playing celebrity games, and often seems to be rapping only to entertain himself with little regard for any potential audience. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Despite the album's pronounced maturity/infantilism divide, it's a different dichotomy that characterizes the album's highlights: Here, Em is at his best when he's either more focused than even before or at his most scattered and playful. Unfortunately, most of the tracks that don't veer toward either extreme are plodding and unremarkable.
Much of the first third of the record features Eminem unloading his emotional weight. Childhood tale "Yellow Brick Road" is the closest thing to biographical narrative he's ever done, and his remorseful explanation of the situation around which he, as a hurt kid, lashed out in a few racially-tinged rhymes at a black girl is not only compelling but effectively diffuses Source editor Benzino's long-running attack campaign on the rapper. It's also Em's best exploration of living his life in the rare space between America's too-wide racial divide. Fittingly, it leads into "Like Toy Soldiers", a public hand-wringing over the feuds that Em and 50 Cent have been drawn into, the consequences of these battles, and-- most importantly-- the toll they've taken, both physically and emotionally. The martial beat is a bit heavy-handed, but it's counterbalanced by the pleasantly surprising chorus' sample of Martika's "Toy Soldiers", perhaps a nod to either Kanye's helium-vocaled samples or the 00s trend toward trance-pop covers of 80s hits.
Em also shines when he spins well off his axis, as he does on both the hilarious "Rain Man" and the R. Kelly/Triumph the Insult Comic Dog-baiting "Ass Like That", songs that both tell a lot of the same sort of celebrity- or redneck-oriented jokes as previous Em tracks, but have new punchlines and almost completely skip the need for structure. The songs sound more like mixtape or freestyle material than album tracks, and they're better off for it.
Outside of those tracks and a few lively guest spots from the usual suspects (50 Cent, Nate, Dre, Obie-- hey, where's Proof?), things get sketchy. "Mosh"-- sadly, not yet completely past its sell-by date-- seems more like a plodding dirge here among the spry string of tracks that surround it. "Just Lose It" is still most notable for dancing with paedo and homoerotic imagery: It's the one track here that seems as potentially multilayered as the best of The Marhsall Mathers LP, yet it's still more curio than anything else. On one of the two Kim tracks, Em confuses domestic violence with commitment, an awkward flirtation with the idea that you only hurt the ones you love. Elsewhere, with their relationship now more deteriorated than ever, poor Kim only rates a "you make me puke" where she once was murder ballad "worthy."
Sonically, the record is more of the same: simple minor-chord piano lines, Dre's elastic funk, Em's clicky and too-often weak drums. A "Crazy on You" sample is wasted on a weak track ("Crazy in Love") and the belching chorus of "My 1st Single" threatens to pulls the rug out from under an otherwise durable song. The advantage of Em going back to same musical well is that he's become so adept at riding these types of beats that his delivery and tangible personality are compelling almost no matter what the content of his rhymes; he even mixes things up with drastic shifts in cadence-- sometimes within the same track-- and occasional impersonations.
In the promotional run-up to Encore's release, Eminem has been dressed in his courtroom best, suits and wire-rims-- again, great for the Manhattan media, but another MOR flag. At 30-plus, he's also worried about his legacy, trying to mobilize his version of a live-free-or-die army, and the record even drops very vague yet odd hints at retirement. Em has specifically said that the curtain isn't coming down, but the almost afterthought with which the record is framed (packaged and titled more like an addendum to The Eminem Show rather than a follow up with a two-year gap), its jaw-droppingly weak single, and the smoke-and-mirrors of coasting on talent and skill indicates that he either needs a breather or a new well of inspiration.

Reviews for Tomato Alfredo Pasta
Sort By :
I made this for dinner the other night. It was too heavy for me but did have good flavor. I did add some Italian seasoning, dehydrated onion, and garlic to the recipe to enhance the flavor as some of the other reviewers suggested below. When I make it again I might try with skim milk or fat free half and half.
This recipe has some great base components but could be improved on if you added your own spices to really enhance the flavor. The way I made it, you could feed 3 people.
What i changed:
Used tri-color rotini (about 12 oz)
1 can of fire-roasted tomatoes (which took a bit longer than 5 mins to boil off the water)
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup Parmesan
1/2 red onion
2 tsp dried basil
2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
pepper to taste
1.5 tbsp flour to thicken slightly at the end
The only difference in the way to cook this would be to saute the onions until they are translucent. Add your canned tomatoes and spices into the same pan. I also added the whipping cream and the Parmesan once most of the water was boiled off and after about 4 minutes I mixed in the flour.
My mom and I ate this entire portion and it tasted GREAT! Perfect amount of tomato taste to the original taste of Alfredo and it really packed lots of flavor. I'm definitely gonna make this again.
My boyfriend and I just made this together. We sauteed some sliced mushrooms and garlic in butter and added them to the sauce. It was absolutely delicious, and quite easy to make!
This recipe was so quick and delicious. My husband walked in to the kitchen to find out what smelt so good while it was cooking.

"It took me a long time to place an order, because I liked everything on your site. But unfortunately I read the sizes wrong so after finally placing my order I really did not get what I wanted. This has nothing to do with the product but to my inexperience of buying without actually seeing.
I found the service excellent, all my questions in the lead up to ordering where answered, and considering I am from Australia delivery and queries were very quick. I will get my act together and reorder again.
Thanks Joanna"

Exclusive: The Lariam scandal - MoD 'ignored decades of warnings about dangers of suicide drug'
Drug that most GPs are reluctant to prescribe for their patients and that is banned by US military is putting thousands of British soldiers' lives at risk
Friday 27 September 2013
Thousands of British soldiers are being put at increased risk of psychosis and suicide because the Ministry of Defence refuses to stop using a controversial anti-malarial drug that has just been banned by the US military, The Independent can reveal.
Mefloquine – better known as Lariam – has long been the subject of warnings over its effects on mental health and is now only used by a minority of people travelling abroad.
Amid mounting concerns about the dangers of the drug – which has been linked with a string of suicides and murders – the US military acted this month to ban its use among special forces. The decision came after it was linked to the massacre of 16 Afghan civilians by a US soldier.
Yet British soldiers are still being given Lariam – a drug described as a modern-day "Agent Orange" by doctors because of its toxicity.
Speaking to The Independent, a former senior medical officer accused the MoD of ignoring repeated warnings over the dangers of the drug. Lt-Col Ashley Croft, who served for more than 25 years in the Royal Army Medical Corps and is an expert on malaria, said: "For the past 12 years I was saying this is potentially a dangerous drug – most people can take it without problems but a few people will experience difficulties and of those a small number will become psychotic and because there are other alternatives that are safer and just as effective we should move to them but my words fell on deaf ears."
Lt Col Ashcroft, who retired in April, accused the MoD of being in "denial mode". He added: "The problem is that it can make people have psychotic thoughts and therefore act in an irrational manner and potentially a manner that is dangerous to themselves or their colleagues, or civilians."
Doxycycline and malarone are safer drugs which are as effective in preventing malaria, according to the retired officer. "Really the only people that get it [Lariam] now are the poor old soldiers and they have no choice."
Mefloquine is typically given to soldiers serving in sub-Saharan Africa, parts of Latin America and South-east Asia. Lt Col Croft estimates around 2,500 soldiers a year are given the drug.
Lariam was developed by the US Army in the 1970s, and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1989. It became a popular drug for preventing and treating malaria, but recent years have seen it become superceded by newer antimalarial drugs, such as malarone.
While most NHS doctors now recommend that civilians travelling overseas take alternatives to Lariam with fewer side-effects, British service personnel are given little choice about whether to take the drug.
This is despite the US military banning Lariam on safety grounds. An order issued earlier this month by the US Special Forces Command states: "medical personnel will immediately cease the prescribing and use of mefloquine for malaria prophylaxis". It adds: "Hallucinations and psychotic behaviour can occur and continue for months or years after mefloquine use; cases of suicidal ideation and suicide have been reported."
The decision comes after an order in July from the FDA to force manufacturers to give the drug a "black box" label, its strongest warning. The FDA warned that some neurological and psychiatric side effects can last for months or years after people stop taking the drug.
Staff Sergeant Robert Bales, the US soldier who killed 16 Afghan civilians in March 2012, had taken Lariam while serving in Iraq.
Dr Remington Nevin, a former US army doctor and expert on the psychiatric effects of Lariam, who is based at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said: "As a result of its toxic effects, the drug is quickly becoming the "Agent Orange" of this generation, linked to a growing list of lasting neurological and psychiatric problems including suicide." In addition to the mental health risks, physical side effects range from internal bleeding to liver and lung damage.
But there are no signs of the British Army stopping its use of Lariam. An MoD spokesperson said: "All our medical advice is based on the current guidelines set out by Public Health England. Based on its expert advice, the MoD continues to prescribe mefloquine as part of the range of malaria prevention treatments recommended. It is just one of the prevention treatments available and is only prescribed under certain circumstances to ensure the treatment provided is the most effective."
While ordinary soldiers are routinely given the drug, the MoD ordered that it should not be given to air crew or divers, given the particular risks of such posts. In its latest guidance for commanders, dated 2013, it cites "significant risk of side effects, which could degrade concentration and co-ordination", and that any such specialist personnel who take it will be unfit for duty for three months.
A spokesman for the Public Health England Advisory Committee on Malaria Prevention (ACMP), said: "Mefloquine is an extremely effective antimalarial and we are not aware of any new data that alter our view of the safety of mefloquine." He added: "Whenever new evidence about antimalarials appears the ACMP considers this as part of its continuous process of developing advice."
Lt Col Croft condemned the ACMP for "promoting this drug as 'safe'" and added: "They shelter behind collegiality, and won't budge from this position since it would imply that their earlier judgement on mefloquine was wrong, and if they were to now change their advice then they as individuals could potentially be cited, in personal injury actions brought by mefloquine-damaged travellers."
And Dr Nevin commented: "Public Health England has a responsibility to protect the travelling public from the threat posed by dangerous medicines, and should carefully reconsider its recommendations in light of mefloquine's neurotoxicity and its association with risk of permanent neurological injury and death."
He added: "Mefloquine toxicity is also a potentially life-threatening condition that is fully preventable by use of safer daily antimalarials."
Roche, the company that makes Lariam, warned of the risk of suicide more than a decade ago. And this July, in a letter to doctors in Ireland, Dr Maria Luz Amador, the company's medical director, warned that the drug "may induce potentially serious neuropsychiatric disorders" and that "hallucinations, psychosis, suicide, suicidal thoughts and self-endangering behaviour have been reported."
A statement from Roche said: "All medicines have side effects and we are sorry to hear about those that experience adverse reactions to our medicines." It continued, the benefits "outweigh the potential risk of the treatment and Roche maintains the position that there is no causal relationship between suicidal tendency, suicide or self-harm and Lariam."
But it cautioned: "Lariam should not be prescribed for prophylaxis in persons with active depression or with a history of major psychiatric disorders or convulsions."
Doctors "tend to steer clear of it," said Dr Claire Gerarda, the chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners. "I wouldn't encourage it, because I think it's got nasty side effects. I can't remember the last time I prescribed Lariam."
Lariam: The suicides, murders and incidents of self-harm
The controversial anti-malarial drug Lariam has been linked to a series of military suicides, murders and incidents of self-harm during the past 20 years.
* Staff Sergeant Robert Bales, the US soldier who killed 16 Afghan civilians in 2012, had taken Lariam while serving in Iraq. Although he is not mentioned by name, an "adverse event" report was made to Roche, manufacturers of the drug, on 29th March 2012 from a pharmacist regarding an unnamed Army soldier. "The patient who was a soldier in the US Army developed homicidal behavior and led to Homicide killing 17 Afghanis," it said. The report, which was passed on to the US Food and Drug Administration, claimed the drug had been given "in direct contradiction to US military rules that Mefloquine should not be given to soldiers who had suffered TBI (Traumatic brain injury) due to its propensity to cross blood brain barriers inciting psychotic, homicidal or suicidal behaviour."
Staff Sergeant Robert Bales
* Canadian peacekeepers beat, tortured and shot two local teenagers in Somalia in 1993. Major Barry Armstrong, the military commander of the Somalia surgical unit, in a report dated October that year, stated: "I believe there may be an additional, simple explanation for our difficulties in Somalia: Canadian and American troops may have been impaired by the use of mefloquine."
* In 2000, Lance Corporal Kristian Shelmerdine, the Parachute Regiment, shot himself in the arm while serving in Sierra Leone. He blamed the accident on the drug, claiming to have had bad dreams and woken up to find himself shot, but was found guilty of 'negligent discharge'. Two years later, four US soldiers based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina (three of whom had recently returned from Afghanistan, where troops were prescribed Lariam) killed their wives. Two of the soldiers killed themselves.
* In 2004, a US Army reservist shot himself in Iraq – just weeks before he was due to return home. In a US army report which subsequently emerged, an army psychiatrist stated: "if toxicology reveals the presence of mefloquine, SPC Torres' case should be viewed in light of other suicides suspected to be associated with the drug."

Sir Rocco Forte, chairman of the European luxury hotel brand, plans to add more Middle Eastern hotels to the five properties his company currently has in the pipeline.
The chain will open its first regional hotel in Abu Dhabi during the last quarter of the year. It will also add properties in Jeddah, Marrakech, Cairo and Luxor.
"There's a Beirut property which will be announced shortly," Sir Rocco told Arabian Business. "In Doha, again, there are so many hotels with the World Cup coming up. I've looked at one or two things there, but the right thing hasn't come up."
The chairman said that Oman was "a possibility", as was Riyadh and further hotels in Egypt.
"The thing about Dubai is that there are so many hotels already here," he added. "There were one or two things that I looked at, but the right opportunity didn't come along. "I think, in due course, there's no reason why we shouldn't come to Dubai."
Rocco Forte Hotels currently runs 12 hotels in Europe, including Brown's Hotel in London and the Hotel Savoy in Florence.
Sir Rocco said he was also looking to add to his European portfolio, but ruled out the possibility of expanding into Asia.
"I still want to finish off Europe – there are a number of cities I'm not represented in there," he said. "Like Madrid, Paris, Milan, Venice, Moscow, Amsterdam, to name but a few. I'd also like to go to the US, particularly in New York."

IoF calls for annual income cap on society lotteries to be raised from £10m to £100m

NCVO is predicting that public funding for charities could drop by 12 to 15 per cent by 2017/18, losing the sector an estimated £2.1bn.
The umbrella body's report Counting the Cuts uses Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts of public spending and NCVO UK Civil Society Almanac data on charities' income sources. The prediction is made in comparison to data from 2010/11, the latest year for which it is available.
The analysis estimates the impact that reductions in public spending will have on the voluntary sector, and states that such reductions are likely to focus on departments which are important sources of income for charities. Local government will be hit especially hard, the report speculates.
"If the cuts are passed on proportionately to charities," NCVO says, "the sector's income will be £1.7bn (12 per cent) lower in 2017/18 than it was in 2010/11, using 2010/11 prices.
"If cuts to charity contracts and grants are disproportionately large, as evidence from Compact Voice's survey of local authorities in England suggests they have been, the reduction could be as much as £2.1bn (15 per cent)."
The government is due to announce the outcomes of its spending review for 2015/16 in June, which NCVO's report says "is one factor that could have an impact on forecasts for 2015/16 and beyond".
The umbrella body also states that with the general election due in May 2015, an incoming government will have the opportunity to set out new spending plans – therefore "estimates beyond 2015 should be treated as provisional".
Sir Stuart Etherington, chief executive of NCVO, said the analysis suggests that charities delivering local public services are most vulnerable to forthcoming public spending reductions.
"Charities deliver high-quality, professional services," he said. "When their expertise is lost it can be hard to regain. Of course, whichever charities lose funding, it is people and communities who lose services and support.
"It is of the utmost importance that local commissioners engage fully with charities in their area and think creatively about how to manage the issue of declining resources. The voluntary sector excels at innovation and adaptation, so local authorities must embrace its ideas in order to best serve their communities."
The NCVO CEO added that while large new payment-by-results programmes offer some opportunities for the sector, it is important that these schemes are structured so that they suit charities of all sizes.

Premier League: Reading v West Brom match preview
look ahead to this weekend's Premier League fixture at the Madejski Stadium
Friday 11 January 2013
Although Reading have tightened up in defence and been more competitive across the pitch in the last month, they remain deep in trouble.
West Brom are twenty points better off than Saturday's opponents, although a run of two wins in their last eight matches have damaged their top six ambitions.
Reading's chances in this match could well depend on how well they handle Romelu Lukaku, with the Belgian striker proving a handful for many a Premier League defence this season and scoring seven goals.
KICK-OFF: Saturday, 3pm
West Brom 1 (Lukaku) Reading 0, Premier League, September 2012
Reading 1 (Long) West Brom 0, FA Cup, January 2011
Reading 1 (Sigurdsson) West Brom 1 (Tamas), Championship, March 2010
This is only the second meeting between these teams in the Premier League, the first being in September.
Overall, West Brom have won 18 games against Reading, Reading have 11 wins and there have been 9 draws.
Reading have lost eight of their last 10 league games.
This season, Reading have won two of their 10 home league games and West Brom have won three of 10 away matches.
Reading to win: 3.05
West Brom to win: 2.54
Draw: 3.5
TV: Highlights on BBC1 at 10.30pm.

Foreign Competition and the UK
AbstractThis paper, which seeks to identify factors contributing to the rate and character of technical transfer and to assess host-country research and development effort in response to foreign competition, is one of three examining the impact of technically-advanced companies, particularly American, on British industries. Beginning first with an analysis of imitation cycles in pharmaceuticals and making use of a model of these, the study proceeds to examine the transnational operations of American and other foreign companies, showing the connection between company size, sales and new product introductions.

One of the greatest military feats during the Second World War was the transformation of the German force's activities in the weeks following the battles in Holland and the German border, where the Allies had finally inflicted the greatest catastrophes of modern war on them. Somehow the Germans found the strength to halt the Allied advance in its tracks and to prolong the war to 1945. This book is the epic story of those last eight months of the war in northern Europe.

The positives of LED lights in growing flowers and herbs
By Jim Hagerty
Staff Writer
The use of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting can be an efficient and cost-effective way to provide light for a variety of gardening applications. Used first to replace incandescent and neon bulbs, LED lights are now widely used in street lights, signs and a variety of electronic devices. Although artificial, LED light can be helpful in growing plants, most notably in shady areas or during times of low sunlight.
Light colors
Natural light contains red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, orange and violet, in terms of what humans see when a rainbow is present. With growing plants, all species benefit from each color in the rainbow during photosynthesis. Most house plants depend greatly on red and blue light. Blue light helps seedling stems grow strong, while the right amount of red helps plants flower.
While excessive heat can be damaging to plants, LED lighting emits very little heat. This is important when growing plants where natural light-only and potentially harmful bulbs are used and must be closely monitored.
Herbs and flowers
Because plants will draw blue and red lights from LED bulbs, host gardeners have found their use provides the best results when growing herbs and plants with long stems and flowers. It is also acceptable to use both sunlight and LEDs for best results. However, too much sunlight could have plants draw excessive red, which could prevent them from flowering.
Energy efficiency
The use of LED lighting is economically wise and energy efficient. LED lights last considerably longer and are cheap to run. For example, the typical incandescent light bulb is usually good for approximately 150 to 200 hours, while an LED bulb can be run for thousands of hours at about a 10th of the cost. Most LED lamps are also usually made from biodegradable material and are landscape safe.
