McALLEN - The outcome of an asylum request varies widely all across the country, legal experts said.
An immigrant's chances of being granted asylum depend on the section of the country where the immigration court is located. Even the specific courtroom can have an impact on the outcome.
The numbers are literally all over the map when it comes to asylum grant rates.
The numbers of asylum petitions granted from 2007 to 2012 range from zero for one judge and 95 percent for another one.
Immigration attorneys say one reason for the disparity is that judges see very different populations. Judges in the Rio Grande Valley see illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America. The region has low success rates in asylum hearings. Judges in New York may see immigrants from China or Ethiopia. They have much higher success rates.
The numbers also can vary widely even within a single courthouse. In San Antonio, the grant rate goes from 11 percent to 67 percent, depending on the judge.
To get asylum, immigrants must prove that they've been persecuted in the past or will be in the future. Immigration Attorney Lionel Perez said the problem is that persecution is in the eye of the beholder.
"The difference between the judges in the same area, it's based on the personal opinion of the judge as to what they think persecution is or is not," Perez said.
Perez said he stopped taking asylum cases because the odds of winning were just too low.
"You can do everything right and the judge may still think, 'no, in my opinion, this guy does not deserve the discretion or he does not prove that he's going to be persecuted,'" Perez said.
Legal experts said the number of asylum petitions have increased over the years, but not the grant rate.

Despite Moodyĺs reaffirmation of India government rating as stable, Standard & Poorĺs (S&P) has issued an analysis saying a negative outlook has a more than 50 per cent possibility of getting confirmed.
An internal study made by the credit rating company of its actions in the past two decades has found there has been only one case where a countryĺs negative outlook has been reversed. ôWe have raised only one sovereign rating (since 1989) with a negative outlook, and we have lowered 162 out of 282 sovereign ratings with negative outlooksö, its Sovereign Credit Weathervane, Year-End 2012 Update notes.
On the S&P grading scale, India stands at the lowest investment grade with a negative outlook for its economy. The government has hotly disputed that position and has taken a large number of steps to reverse that perception including a plan to reduce a debilitating fiscal subsidy. The S&P report however shows the chances of India getting an upgrade soon is dim. The Update notes that ôoutlooks and Credit Watch listings on sovereign ratings have been useful indicators of future rating actionsö.
In another report, S&P has said Asia-Pacific Banks have better capital adequacy than European or US banks. It says the former banks are poised to take the global lead in implementing Basel III in 2013. S&P credit analyst Naoko Nemoto said, ôHowever we expect banks in high-growth systems such as India and China to face challenges in maintaining or raising capital ratios to keep pace with growth in risk assets. Based on certain assumptions, we estimate that the total capital shortfall of major banks in both countries could reach about $100 billion in 2019ö. The Basel III capital reforms encourage banks to strengthen capitalisation, which is a positive rating factor, as it protects them from risks associated with excess credit growth and asset inflation.
Meanwhile, Moodyĺs on Monday said it has a ônegativeö outlook on Indiaĺs banking system due to concerns over asset quality and the high interest rates. ôIn India, impaired loans are yet to peak among public sector banks,ö Moodyĺs said in its Asia-Pacific Banking Outlook. The agency further said though the government is ôlikely to remain supportiveö, options for the Reserve Bank to slash lending rates are limited due to high inflation and the ômodest fiscal capacityö. However, the report said interest rates are likely to fall during 2013 but still they will remain higher than the rest of Asia.

Those screaming loudest still cry for their share
Uninformed people making spectacles of themselves (such as those screeching at Sen. Arlen Specter and other lawmakers), for every news media camera in the world to photograph, are an embarrassment to all American citizens who want to know the facts about health care.
These unfortunates have been propagandized by deceitful loudmouths (traitors to the United States) who spread fear and confusion based on bald-faced lies. The hoodwinked victims do their handlers' bidding by marching into the streets and screaming down any sensible discussion. What good does that do?
They cry "socialism" but hold out their hands for their share of Medicare and Social Security. And they will be the first ones to scream for government help if the H1N1 flu hits their towns. It's pathetic. Their behavior is offensive to anyone who wants to do the next right thing.
The question is: What is the best thing to do to get high-quality health care at a reasonable price?

College career[edit]
2008–09 season[edit]
Originally having committed to Kentucky, Green eventually decided to play for the Michigan State Spartans under coach Tom Izzo. During the regular season of his freshman year, Green came off the bench to average 3.3 points per game and 3.3 rebounds per game. During Michigan State's 2009 NCAA tournament run to the championship game, Green averaged 8.5 points and 5.3 rebounds per game with a season-best 67.9% shooting percentage.[3]
2009–10 season[edit]
During his sophomore year (2009–10), Green started 3 of 37 games played and averaged 9.9 points and 7.7 rebounds.[1] The Big Ten Conference named Green sixth man of the year.[3] Michigan State also named Green the Most Improved Player of the year.[1] Twice, Green scored a season-high 19 points, on December 10 against Oakland and December 30 against Texas–Arlington.[1] He also had seven games with double-doubles, including 17 points and 16 rebounds on February 6 against Illinois.[1]
2010–11 season[edit]
Green, as a junior, averaged 12.6 points per game and 8.6 rebounds per game.[3] On February 10, 2011, Green followed Charlie Bell and Magic Johnson to be the third Michigan State men's basketball player to record a triple-double.[4] In the 2011 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament he recorded his second triple-double of the season and the eleventh in NCAA tournament history in the loss against UCLA.[5]
2011–12 season[edit]
As a senior (2011-12 season), Green captained the Spartans to a regular season Big Ten championship and Big Ten Tournament championship. The 2011-12 squad compiled a regular season 24-7 record and a 13-5 mark in Big Ten play, good for the team's 13th conference title and the third in the previous four years. Green was named Big Ten Men's Basketball Player of the week four times during the 2012 season; no other Spartan in history has won the award more than three times in a single season.[6] On March 5, 2012, Green was named Big Ten Player of the Year by the coaches and media and was a unanimous first-team All-Big Ten selection.[7] On March 10, 2012, Draymond passed Johnny Green as the second all-time rebounding leader at MSU, finishing the game with 1,046 career rebounds.[8] On March 16, 2012, Green recorded his third career triple double against LIU-Brooklyn in the second round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament and joined Oscar Robertson and Magic Johnson as just the third player in NCAA history to have 2 career triple doubles in the NCAA tournament.[9] On March 22, 2012, in a loss to Louisville, Green collected 16 rebounds, bringing him to 1,096 career rebounds, the most in Michigan State history ahead of Greg Kelser.[3] He ended his career as one of three players in Michigan State history with over 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds.[10]
NBA career[edit]
Golden State Warriors (2012–present)[edit]
2012–13 season[edit]
"He's a leader, and he doesn't care about tenure. He stepped in here as a leader, and that's a leader's mentality. Guys embrace him, because they realize he doesn't just do it when he's playing well and when we're winning. He does it in the face of adversity...He's cooling off opponents' hottest (scorers), keeping a body on them and making it tough on them. He's rebounding and making plays offensively. He's giving us a presence by playing with force. The guy is just a tremendous competitor."
In the 2012 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors selected Green in the second round, 35th overall. Prior to the 2012–13 season, Green signed a three-year, $2.6 million contract with Golden State.[12] In the season opener on October 31 against the Phoenix Suns, Green played one minute, made one defensive rebound, and committed one foul.[13] Green would gradually get more playing time in subsequent games, especially in the wake of injuries to Brandon Rush and Richard Jefferson.[11] Green had both his first career steal and assist on November 7.[13] In the November 9 game, a 101-77 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, Green played 13 minutes and scored his first career point on a free throw. He missed both of his field goal attempts and had two rebounds, a steal, and a turnover.[13] Playing for 10 minutes on November 14, Green scored 5 points on 2-of-3 shooting and 1-of-2 free throw attempts. Green also grabbed a rebound and made his first career blocked shot.[13]
For the first time on November 18, a 119-109 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Green played over 20 minutes. In 25 minutes of playing time, Green made 4 of 6 field goals (including 1 of 2 three-pointers) for 9 points. He also had 4 rebounds and 2 assists.[13] After getting only marginal floor time at the beginning of the season, by November 22, Green averaged nearly 17 minutes in the past five games.[14] Green had a season- and career-high 3 blocks on December 5 against the Detroit Pistons and two statistical season highs, 10 rebounds and 3 steals, on December 7 against the Brooklyn Nets.[13] By December 9, as Green gained a bigger role on the team, the Warriors had won 8 of 10 games. Coach Mark Jackson, in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, described Green as a "leader" who "doesn't care about tenure" and explained: "He's cooling off opponents' hottest (scorers), keeping a body on them and making it tough on them...He's giving us a presence by playing with force."[11] On December 12, Green made the winning layup with 0.9 second left in the Warriors' 97-95 win over the defending champion Miami Heat. Green made the shot off an assist by Jarrett Jack.[15][16] He scored 7 points and also had 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals.[13]
Green had his first game with double-figure scoring on December 21, with 11 points in a win over the Charlotte Bobcats as well as 2 rebounds, a season-high 4 assists, and a block. However, Green began to struggle with shooting, with 1-for-5 field goal shooting on January 31 and February 22, 3-for-8 shooting on February 9, and 1-for-6 shooting on February 19, the tail end of a six-game losing streak for the Warriors. On February 27, 2013 against the New York Knicks, Green started his first NBA game. In 27 minutes, Green had 4 points, 5 rebounds, and a steal and block.[13]
For the first four games of March, Green failed to make any of 7 shots, and on March 8, he made only 1 of 4 shots, but he made 4 of 7 the next day. In a March 15 loss to the Chicago Bulls, Green shot 0-for-4 from the field but recorded 5 rebounds and 3 assists.[13] ESPN analyst Ian Thorpe commented in mid-March that Green risked a short NBA career due to his weak offensive game and jumper style.[17]
In Game 1 of the first round of the 2013 NBA Playoffs against the Denver Nuggets on April 20, Nuggets player Andre Miller drove around Green and made the game-winning layup in the Nuggets' 97-95 win over the Warriors. Green explained in the post-game press conference: "In an iso (isolation) situation, the plan is to keep him in front. He got maybe half a step on me, and that's all he really needed to finish. I thought I caught back up to him to get the block, but he switched hands and laid it up on the other side."[18] Improving on his three-point percentage and offensive performance generally, Green helped the Warriors win the first round in six games.[19][20]
On May 8, Green started Game 2 of the Warriors' second-round series against the San Antonio Spurs. In the Warriors' 100-91 victory, the Warriors' first victory in San Antonio since the 1996–97 season, Green started in place of Festus Ezeli.[21] Green played 32 minutes and had 5 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists; although he made only 2 of 8 field goals, Green's two field goals disrupted the Spurs' comeback efforts. With 9:49 remaining, Green made a layup to give the Warriors an 86-76 lead after four straight Spurs points. Then with 6:40 left, Green made a three-pointer and put the Warriors up 91-82.[22]
2013–14 season[edit]
Green lost 20 pounds in the off-season and showed improvement in three-point shooting and defense.[23] On December 1, in the Warriors' 115-113 win over the Sacramento Kings, Green tipped in a missed shot by Stephen Curry to give the Warriors a 113-111 lead with 28.7 seconds left; the Kings trailed by as many as 16 in the game.[24] On December 25, Green was ejected from the Warriors' game against the Los Angeles Clippers for committing a flagrant 2 foul on the Clippers' Blake Griffin.[25] The following day, the NBA fined Green $15,000 for "failing to leave the court in a timely manner" after being ejected.[26]

Personal life[edit]
Green was born in Saginaw, Michigan.[28] In the summer of 2012, Green moved into an apartment in Emeryville, California. Green considered it too expensive to live in San Francisco as most of his fellow Warriors players did and explained his choice of a modest apartment: "I've been pretty broke my entire life. I'm not going to live that same life, but I'm going to keep those same principles."[12] He identifies as a Christian.[29]His mother's name is Mary Green from Saginaw, Michigan

piling pipe,
A Jan. 18 article said that the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) determined that the dumping and subsidizing of carbon and alloy steel pipe pile, also known as piling pipe, from China hadnt caused injury to the domestic industry (amm.com, Jan. 18). However, the CITT did rule that imports from Jan. 1, 2011, to March 31, 2012, threatened to cause injury, and were subject to a weighted-average dumping margin of 89.6 percent and a countervailing duty margin of 11.7 percent.

|Do You Watch Mariana And Scarlett? by myowncomputer: 12:34pm On Dec 27, 2012
I started watching this telenovela recently and found it quite interesting,but since I resumed from leave, I haven't had time to watch it regularly.
Mariana and Scarlett are two sisters that succeed in the fashion world. Their differences cause many conflicts in the rise to stardom. And as if fate wanted to test them even further, they end up falling in love with the same man, Roberto White, a millionaire from the textile industry. Many confrontations later, they come to understand that they must work together to get around the obstacles that life has put them.
Did u watch the last episode? What was aired?

For twenty-six years, Ian McCullough, a demographics researcher at a social science think tank, has been happily married to Glynnis, a successful cookbook writer and a brilliant hostess.
When a drunken argument about a suspected infidelity turns physical, Ian accidentally pushes Glynnis through a plate-glass window--or did she fall? Now, Glynnis is dead, Ian is charged with murder, and their American dream is shattered. And soon, in a courtroom where guilt and responsibility become two very separate issues, Ian will stand trial, fighting for his life.
A sophisticated, witty, and chilling novel from the incomparable Joyce Carol Oates, American Appetites explores our insatiable hunger for power, love, and success, and how comfortable, privileged lives--and the course of fate--can be dramatically transformed in an instant.

Post-defenestration Microsoft: It's the APIs, stupid. And Metro
Windows 8 learning curve
I installed windows 8 and was quickly frustrated by it. Then I searched around for a bit and got used to it. All you have to do is hit the windows key on the keyboard or hover around the corners of the screen. Now I'm used to it's super quick boot time and tiles that tell me the weather and things without having to do anything, I like it. I don't like the new IE app, as I find it fiddly with a mouse to open up a favourite, but I understand with a touch screen it would be a more pleasant experience. Want to open word? Go to the metro interface (hit the windows key) and hit W. Oh look there it is. Yes, it took me a few days of getting used to, but I would feel robbed if I went back to Windows 7. All that for £25. Not bad at all.

Microsoft slips out Silverlight 5
End of an era of productivity
It's a shame. Silverlight is a pretty productive environment to develop for. We'll have to see what HTML5 will bring, but I'm expecting the usual 2 days to develop and 20 days to get it to run nicely everywhere kind of approach. Maybe I'm getting old but fiddling endlessly with CSS has put me right off being a software developer.
UK's top tech startup: Glasgow's tiny circle of animation wizards
Not at all
All you have to do is go to the website, download it and start playing to see what a joy this software is to use. All of the animation I have done in the past has taken me about a week for 30 seconds of video. With Muvizu, I created a pop video in 3 days, and that included learning how to use the software. The software has its limitations, such as only having cartoon characters, but the limitations have to be measured against what can be achieved, animation wise, in an extremely short time, and also against the potential of creating animation this way - the software is still in beta.
Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8S8wkjBtmw, the first animation I made with Muvizu. If I posted the first animation I made with Maya, you would be forced to conclude that Maya is the poorest animation package in the firmament, and if you downloaded and tried to use it, your opinion would be reinforced. It was good enough for Avatar though, and in the hands of a semi-skilled animator/producer, so is Muvizu.
What the heck is an IT Architect anyway?
As a former IT architect, and writer about the software/IT architects(www.ivencia.com/softwarearchitect), I am bound to claim that an architect is as necessary in IT as in building. I have worked on many IT systems for many companies, and those hurling together software without any oversight from an architect are creating incomprehensible messes.
However, as pointed out in this article, we are still in the beginnings of understanding software creation, and being an architect is a challenge I have now given up, to focus on my own software products while contracting to support this endeavour. I move ever backward to the view expounded and ignored 30 years ago by Fred Brooks that the mind which creates should be the centre of its own universe.

DEFINITION of 'Atmospherics'
The controllable characteristics of a retail space that entice a customer to enter the store, and which are designed to influence a customer's mood so as to increase the odds of a purchase being made. Atmospherics include the store's layout, noise level, temperature, lighting and decorations. They are designed to set the store apart from its competitors in a positive way. It is part of an overall companies branding and image.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Atmospherics'
All retails stores have atmospherics, even if they are subtle. For example, a big box office supply store may be known for its well-lit aisles and bright red signs. Another example would be a clothing retailer targeted at teenagers, which uses contrasted lighting and loud music. The drawback to an aggressive use of atmospherics is that they can drive away customers who prefer a more nuanced interaction with their environment.

NKorea calls nukes country's life' at big meetingBy FOSTER KLUG
The Associated Press | April 01,2013AP PHOTO
South Korean Army soldiers patrol along a barbed-wire fence near the border village of Panmunjom in Paju, South Korea, on Sunday. North Korea warned South Korea on Saturday that the Korean Peninsula had entered a state of war and threatened to shut down a border factory complex thats the last major symbol of inter-Korean cooperation.SEOUL, South Korea A top North Korean decision-making body issued a pointed warning Sunday, saying that nuclear weapons are the nations life and will not be traded even for billions of dollars.
The comments came in a statement released after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un presided over the plenary meeting of the central committee of the ruling Workers Party. The meeting, which set a new strategic line calling for building both a stronger economy and nuclear arsenal, comes amid a series of near-daily threats from Pyongyang in recent weeks, including a vow to launch nuclear strikes on the United States and a warning Saturday that the Korean Peninsula was in a state of war.
Pyongyang is angry over annual U.S.-South Korean military drills and a new round of U.N. sanctions that followed its Feb. 12 nuclear test, the countrys third. Analysts see a full-scale North Korean attack as unlikely and say the threats are more likely efforts to provoke softer policies toward Pyongyang from a new government in Seoul, to win diplomatic talks with Washington that could get the North more aid, and to solidify the young North Korean leaders image and military credentials at home.
North Korea made reference to those outside views in the statement it released through the official Korean Central News Agency following the plenary meeting.
North Koreas nuclear weapons are a treasure not to be traded for billions of dollars, the statement said. They are neither a political bargaining chip nor a thing for economic dealings to be presented to the place of dialogue or be put on the table of negotiations aimed at forcing (Pyongyang) to disarm itself, it said.
North Koreas nuclear armed forces represent the nations life, which can never be abandoned as long as the imperialists and nuclear threats exist on earth, the statement said.
North Korea has called the U.S. nuclear arsenal a threat to its existence since the 1950-53 Korean War, which ended in a truce, not a peace treaty, leaving the peninsula still technically at war. Pyongyang justifies its own nuclear pursuit in large part on that perceived U.S. threat.
While analysts call North Koreas threats largely brinkmanship, there is some fear that a localized skirmish might escalate. Seoul has vowed to respond harshly should North Korea provoke its military. Naval skirmishes in disputed Yellow Sea waters off the Korean coast have led to bloody battles several times over the years. Attacks blamed on Pyongyang in 2010 killed 50 South Koreans.
The plenary statement also called for strengthening the moribund economy, which Kim has put an emphasis on in his public statements since taking power after the death of his father, Kim Jong Il, in late 2011. The United Nations says two-thirds of the countrys 24 million people face regular food shortages.
The statement called for diversified foreign trade and investment, and a focus on agriculture, light industry and a self-reliant nuclear power industry, including a light water reactor. There was also a call for the development of space science and technology, including more satellite launches. North Korea put a satellite into orbit on a long-range rocket in December. The United Nations called the launch a cover for a banned test of ballistic missile technology and increased sanctions on the North.
The central committee is a top decision-making body of the Norths ruling Workers Party. The committee is tasked with organizing and guiding the partys major projects, and its plenary meeting is usually convened once a year, according to Seouls Unification Ministry. South Korean media said the last plenary session was held in 2010 and that this was the first time Kim Jong Un had presided over the meeting.
The White House says the United States is taking North Koreas threats seriously, but has also noted Pyongyangs history of bellicose rhetoric.
On Thursday, U.S. military officials revealed that two B-2 stealth bombers dropped dummy munitions on an uninhabited South Korean island as part of annual defense drills that Pyongyang sees as rehearsals for invasion. Hours later, Kim ordered his generals to put rockets on standby and threatened to strike American targets if provoked.MORE IN This Just InA close gubernatorial election raised questions about support for Gov.

Man, 91, Killed In Route 72 Crash
Updated On: Dec 19 2011 02:18:45 AM EST
A 91-year-old man was killed in a crash along Route 72 in Lebanon County on Tuesday morning.
The crash happened about 6:25 a.m. just north of old Jonestown Road. A minivan and a box truck were involved in the crash.
The minivan driver, Fiore Fecondo, of Jonestown, was killed. The truck driver, 41-year-old Shane M. Casey, of Lebanon, was not injured.
Fecondo's minivan pulled away from a stop sign at Old Jonestown Road onto Route 72 and was struck by the box truck, state police said.
The minivan was pushed about 50 yards and the box truck went over a guard rail and down an embankment, state police said.

Is there a cuteness scale out there? If so, fuzzy animal babies would definitely rank high. This Saturday marks the opening of the Minnesota Zoo's "Farm Babies," an annual exhibit guaranteed to melt hearts and make you want to take pictures for cuteoverload.com. Baby ducks will quack and waddle behind their moms. Chicks will chirp and be fuzzy before their down becomes feathers. Piglets will roll about snorting affectionately. Bunnies, goats, and lambs will also be hopping and wobbling around. Each weekend you can wallow in cuteness, and enjoy tractor rides from the grain elevator to the farm, where the adorableness resides. April 10 and 11 will also feature additional kid-friendly activities from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; that Saturday Peter Rabbit will show up to hand out candy-colored eggs with toys and treats inside.
Fridays-Sundays, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Starts: March 27. Continues through April 12, 2009

Marion Nestle, the acclaimed author of Food Politics, now tells the gripping story of how, in early 2007, a few telephone calls about sick cats set off the largest recall of consumer products in U.S. history and an international crisis over the safety of imported goods ranging from food to toothpaste, tires, and toys.
Nestle follows the trail of tainted pet-food ingredients back to their source in China and along the supply chain to their introduction into feed for pigs, chickens, and fish in the United States, Canada, and other countries throughout the world. What begins as a problem "merely" for cats and dogs soon becomes an issue of tremendous concern to everyone.
Nestle uncovers unexpected connections among the food supplies for pets, farm animals, and people, and identifies glaring gaps in the global oversight of food safety.

Roasted Eggplant Cannelloni
Roasted Eggplant Cannelloni
These are so light and delicious you won't believe they're good for you. The roasted eggplant adds a wonderful, smooth flavor to the filling and using the no boil noodles keeps them slim and small. Béchamel sauce is very traditional in Italy with cannelloni or lasagna and you will likely have leftover sauce which can be used with other dishes. I will often prepare either one of my lasagna recipes at the same time or double this cannelloni recipe, freezing one for another day. If you prefer, a simple tomato sauce will work just as well as the béchamel.
Cannelloni Ingredients:
1 pkg. veggie "meat crumbles"
1 large or 3 small eggplant
3 T. olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 T. oregano
¼ t. dried red pepper flakes (optional)
1 t. garlic salt
½ c. chopped fire roasted tomatoes
¼ c. fresh basil (chopped roughly)
2 cups béchamel sauce (recipe below)
1 box of no boil lasagna noodles
To prepare:
Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place washed whole eggplant on a lined baking sheet. Prick it with a fork a few times and bake it whole, until it's nicely roasted and slightly collapsed. Remove the eggplant from the oven and set it aside until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile prepare the béchamel sauce and set aside. When the eggplant has cooled slice in half down from top to bottom. If you're using large eggplant, and there are a lot of seeds, you may want to scoop out some of them and discard. Pull out the rest of the soft pulp down to the peel and chop the flesh fairly small and set aside.
Heat a deep skillet on medium heat, add the oil and when it's mobile, add the onion and cook for a few minutes, until it's soft and slightly translucent. Add the garlic, pepper flakes, and oregano. Stir a minute or two to release aromas. Now add crumbles. Cook the crumbles for a few minutes, until slightly browned. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a little more olive oil. Add the chopped eggplant, the tomatoes, and garlic salt, and stir to combine. Cook an additional few minutes until everything is nice and hot. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chopped basil. If desired season to your taste with salt, pepper, and additional oregano or basil. Set that mixture aside and prepare pasta.
Bring a wide, shallow skillet of salted water to a boil. When the water boils, add the no-boil lasagna sheets two to three at a time. Move them around a bit and when they are flexible and just slightly softened, remove them with tongs, and lay them on your work board. This takes about two to three minutes and you really want these underdone because you'll bake them additionally in the oven.
Spoon some of the béchamel sauce, about a quarter of an inch to half an inch into a baking dish. Keep it next to your work area – you will be placing the cannelloni into this dish after stuffing.
Lay the noodles out flat to begin filling and rolling. Meanwhile, add another three sheets of pasta to the water. Place two to three heaping tablespoons of filling along one edge of each little sheet of pasta, roll it up, and place the cannelloni into the prepared baking dish. Continue until you've used all the pasta sheets.
Ladle some additional béchamel sauce over the cannelloni, top with a drizzle of olive oil and a little more fresh basil. Pour about 1/4 cup of water around the outer perimeter of the cannelloni, cover the baking dish with foil, and bake at 350 degree for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes. The cannelloni should be steaming, heated through, and bubbly. Serve with a simple salad and garlic bread.
Béchamel Blush Sauce Ingredients:
6 T. vegan margarine, or olive oil
6 T. unbleached flour
3 c. unsweetened soy milk (warmed)
1-2 tsp. tomato paste
Salt and pepper to taste
Grated nutmeg
To prepare béchamel sauce:
In a saucepan, melt the margarine over medium low heat. When the margarine begins to bubble whisk in the flour. Cook this roux over very low heat for a few minutes, but don't let it brown. The idea is to cook off some of the raw flour flavor. When the roux begins to smell a little nutty and fragrant begin whisking in the soymilk. Continue whisking the milk about a cup at a time until the sauce is thickened and smooth. If it begins to get too thick, you may add a little additional milk or a bit of water, but use a light hand. The sauce should be a creamy thick consistency that evenly coats the back of a spoon. Remove the sauce from the heat and season it with salt and pepper, a few gratings of fresh nutmeg. Finally, whisk in the tomato paste.
This sauce will likely thicken while it sits. If it does, simple loosen it with some liquid, either milk or a little water. Store any leftovers in a covered container for up to a week.
Pasta Bolognese
Ragu Alla Bolognese is a rich and creamy tomato-based sauce, typically made with a variety of meats, heavy cream, wine and beef broth.
I was surprised how easy a task it was to translate this dish to a lighter meatless version.
As with many recipes that contain meat, it is actually the supporting "cast members" — the dry white wine, nutmeg, sweet carrots, celery and red onion — that give dishes like my Bolognese sauce its distinctive and deliciously familiar flavor.
Serves 4
1 medium red onion
1 medium carrot
1 large stalk celery
1-12 oz. package vegetarian ground beef style crumbles
3-4 slices chopped vegetarian bacon (optional)
1 lb. fresh or canned tomatoes (look for a smooth crushed tomato)
4 T. margarine
2 T. olive oil
1/2 to 3/4 c. good quality dry white wine
Salt and pepper
1/4 t. fresh grated nutmeg
1 cup "beef" flavored vegetarian stock
1/2-3/4 c. unsweetened soy milk
To prepare:
To make preparation easier, use a food processor and process onion, carrot, and celery until very finely chopped.
Heat the margarine and oil in a heavy pan. When the oils are just warm add the vegetables and saute for 5 minutes. Add "beef" and "bacon" and continue sauteing for another 10 minutes stirring every so often.
Add the wine and cook for 5 minutes, then add the tomatoes. Simmer mixture for 15 minutes before adding the nutmeg and broth. Continue cooking for about another 20 minutes.
Taste the sauce to be sure all ingredients are well blended and season with salt and pepper. Lower the heat, add the soy milk, and continue cooking on very low for another 10-15 minutes. Keep the heat low, so the bottom doesn't burn.
At this point, when the sauce is done, prepare the pasta. (I don't recommend egg-based pasta because this sauce is too robust.) When the pasta is al dente, add the pasta to the sauce and combine and cook over very low heat for a few minutes.
Top off each serving with another drizzle of fruity olive oil and a sprinkle of freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Note: With a little imagination and the inclusion of modern soy products, converting any meat-based family favorites is easier than ever. "Ground beef" style vegetable protein crumbles add consistency, texture, and nutrients, while eliminating fat and cholesterol.
Sweet Vegetable Lasagna
Once you try my version of this classic Italian dish, you'll never look at lasagna the same way again. Guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser, be sure to make an extra pan and freeze it. Lasagna will keep in the freezer for several weeks – much longer than it lasts on your table.
When using "no-boil" lasagna noodles, it's crucial to have sufficient liquid levels in your filling ingredients. The tofu filling, spinach, and tomatoes work together to add the necessary liquid element here.
Serves 4
Lasagna Ingredients:
8-10 sheets of no-boil lasagna noodles
2-3 small zucchini, sliced thinly lengthwise
1-2 small yellow summer squash, sliced thinly lengthwise
6 tomatoes, cooked, skinned, and seeded (or 1 c. canned whole tomatoes)
2 c. julienned parsnips
1 c. julienned carrots
3 c. baby spinach, coarsely chopped
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
1/2 c. coarsely chopped basil, reserved
Béchamel Sauce Ingredients:
6 T. vegan margarine (or unsalted butter)
6 T. unbleached flour
3 c. unsweetened soy milk (or 2% dairy)
Salt, pepper, and grated nutmeg
Tofu Filling Ingredients:
1 block extra firm tofu, drained of its water
3 T. nutritional yeast (or 1/2 c. freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese, optional)
1/2 c. chopped parsley
1/2 t. grated nutmeg
1 t. salt
To prepare:
Drizzle olive oil over the bottom of an 8 X 8 baking dish and set aside.
1. Prepare béchamel sauce:
Heat soy or dairy milk until hot but not boiling. (You can add room temperature milk, but heating speeds up the cooking process and in my experience, makes for a smoother sauce.) Melt margarine in a saucepan but do not let it brown. Slowly whisk in flour until you have a smooth roux, continue whisking for a minute or two and begin adding the hot milk. Cook and stir constantly until the sauce thickens and is creamy but not runny. Season to taste and set aside.
2. Prepare tofu filling:
Crumble drained tofu into a bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix everything together with a fork. Season the mixture and set aside.
3. Prepare vegetables:
Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium low heat. Saute the parsnips and carrots for 5-8 minutes just until crisp tender. Add both the zucchini and squash and toss, just to heat the vegetables through. Remove from heat.
4. Assemble lasagna:
Spread about 1/2 cup of the tomatoes over the bottom of the baking dish. Cover with two sheets of lasagna noodles. Add a layer of vegetables, a few more spoonfuls of tomato, and spread about 1/2 c. of béchamel sauce over this layer.
Add a second layer of pasta, alternating the direction of the layers. Top this pasta layer with the tofu filling. Next do a layer of fresh spinach, add a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and top with yet a third layer of pasta. Add more of the vegetable mixture, a few dollops of the cooked tomato, a little more béchamel, and cover with two more sheets of pasta.
Top the casserole off with a nice cover of béchamel sauce, a sprinkling of salt and pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, and the chopped fresh basil. Finally, spoon a little more of the tomato mixture around the sides of the lasagna.
Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes, then remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes or until all the vegetables are easily pierced with a knife. If desired, top with remaining béchamel sauce and serve the lasagna hot.
Note: Béchamel sauce will thicken while it rests but a gentle reheating should loosen it up. If necessary, add very small amounts of milk, water, or stock until you regain the desired consistency.
I really appreciate knowing how to make a béchamel sauce because it can be used in so many other dishes and in this recipe, it makes what's normally a "heavy" dish so light.
If you dislike the flavor of nutmeg, simply omit it and add an extra few turns from the pepper mill. Remember to always use a light hand and taste your food when you add seasonings.
Pasta with Red Onion, "Bakin," Radicchio, and Edamame
Pasta with Red Onion, "Bakin," Radicchio, and Edamame
This was a dish that I grew up with and have adapted. It's so easy to make in a pinch and a wonderful way to use up leftover pasta. Use any vegetables you like, but keep the edamame. It's firm texture holds up well against the al dente pasta. Edamame are also superior in nutrition to many beans and children really like their sweet, crunchy snap. Vegetarian bacon adds salty flavor. The trick with vegetarian bacon products is to cook them separately and to help maintain a crispy texture, add back in at the end. The amounts given in this recipe are guidelines, so you can use as much or as little as you wish.
8 oz. penne (or your pasta of choice)
3 T. olive oil
1 red onion, chopped fine
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 t. red pepper flakes
1 ½ c. radicchio leaves, sliced thin
½ pkg. vegetarian bacon of choice
2 c. edamame beans, frozen and parboiled
Small handful torn basil leaves
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a large shallow pan heat oil. Chop the vegetarian bacon and fry the pieces until browned and crispy. Remove the "bacon" from pan and set aside.
Add pasta to the boiling water.
Add a small amount of oil to the pan you cooked your "bacon" in and sauté the onion and garlic until soft. Add the parboiled edamame and red pepper flakes and sauté for a minute or two.
When the pasta is cooked al dente, drain and, without rinsing, add the hot pasta directly into the onion mixture, turning everything over to heat it all through. Add in the cripsy bacon pieces, the radicchio, basil, salt, and lots of pepper, tossing to combine well. The radicchio will wilt slightly when it comes into contact with the hot pasta mixture. Plate and top with a sprinkle of picada if desired.
Summer Pasta with Tomato, Arugula, Basil, and Red Onion
1 box ziti or pasta of choice
4 vine-ripened tomatoes, in large dice
1 ½ c. baby arugula
1 c. basil leaves
½ small red onion, chopped
1 ½ T. good quality balsamic vinegar
About ¼ c. olive oil
Salt and fresh black pepper
Cold Fontina cheese (optional)
To prepare:
In a small bowl add vinegar and red onions, stir well and let stand for about 10 minutes.
Next, in a fairly shallow casserole dish, add diced tomatoes, basil, arugula, and onions along with the vinegar. Add about half of the oil. Sprinkle in about a teaspoon of kosher salt and combine. Gently mix as you would a salad, to coat all the veggies with the dressing. While the pasta is cooking continue to gently fold the veggies.
Bring a large pot of well salted water to boil. When the water boils add the pasta and cook until al dente.
Drain the pasta, quickly, and, without rinsing, add it to the casserole dish. Fold the pasta in gently bringing the veggies up from the bottom to the top, until well combined. If desired, add about five gratings, using the larger blade of a box grater, of Fontina cheese. Season with more salt if necessary and plenty of black pepper. Serve at room temperature. This pasta is equally delicious as it cools.
Fontina is a fairly soft cheese, that melts quite nicely. Keeping the cheese cold makes grating or slicing much easier. Macerating* the onions in vinegar not only softens the onions but imparts a subtile and delicious flavor with out any overbearing vinegar flavor.
*Macerating is process used in food preparation where raw, dried or preserved fruit or vegetables are soaked in a seasoned, usually acidic, liquid before cooking. Macerating is often confused with "marinating." The terms are sometimes used interchangeably, however they have a different purpose. Macerating refers to the softening or breaking down of tough fibers in foods using a liquid. This process not only helps make food more flavorful, it also makes them easier to digest. This is especially helpful with raw onions. Fruit, on the other hand, is usually sprinkled with sugar and a little fresh lemon, then left to sit and release their own juices.
Better Than Classic Lasagna
Better Than Classic Lasagna
This is a glorious layering of pasta, light and tasty tofu "cheese," savory "beefy" crumbles, and a creamy béchamel sauce that can be prepared two ways – either with or without dairy ingredients. I know you'll love the scrumptious flavors and textures of this high-protein classic.
Lasagna Ingredients:
8-10 sheets of no-boil lasagna noodles
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
3/4 c. coarsely chopped basil leaves (reserve 1/4 cup)
Béchamel Sauce Ingredients:
6 T. vegan margarine, or olive oil, or unsalted butter
6 T. unbleached flour
3 c. unsweetened soy milk (or 2% dairy milk)
Salt and pepper to taste
Grated nutmeg
Tofu "Cheese" Layer:
1 block extra firm tofu, drained well
1/2 c. vegan Parmesan-style cheese (or freshly grated Pecorino Romano), optional
1/2 c. chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 c. chopped spinach
1/2 t. grated nutmeg
1 t. salt
"Beefy" crumbles Layer:
1 pkg. "beef"-style crumbles
2 cloves garlic, mashed
1 onion, chopped into 1/4″ dice
3 t. dried oregano
2 T. chopped San Marzano tomatoes or prepared sauce (1/2 cup reserved for filling additional layer)
Salt and pepper to taste
To prepare:
First, drizzle olive oil over the bottom of an 8X8-inch baking dish and set aside.
Next, prepare the béchamel sauce by heating (soy)milk until hot but not boiling. You can do this in a microwave. (Milk at room temperature will work, but heating, in my experience, makes a smoother sauce.)
Melt the fat you're using in a saucepan, but don't let it burn or brown. Slowly whisk in the flour until you have a smooth roux. Continue whisking for a minute or two, then begin adding the hot (soy)milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and is creamy but not runny. Season with salt and pepper and the grated nutmeg, cover, and set aside.
Now prepare the tofu filling by crumbling the drained tofu into a bowl, work the tofu with your fingers until smooth – the texture should be similar to ricotta. Add all remaining ingredients, mix together with a fork until blended, season with salt, pepper, a bit more nutmeg, and set aside. (Hint: when preparing the dairy-free version, you can substitute 3 T. of nutritional yeast flakes as a tasty substitute for the vegan cheese or grated Romano.)
Finally, prepare the "beefy" crumbles, by heating olive oil over medium heat in a heavy saute pan. Add garlic and onions and stir and fry until they're translucent – about five minutes, then add your oregano. Saute for a few minutes until the oregano becomes nicely aromatic. Add the crumbles and continue to stir fry until everything is browned and heated through. Add the two tablespoons of the tomatoes along with another sprinkling of olive oil and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Season and set aside.
To assemble:
Place all layer ingredients within reach. Start with a layer of no-boil lasagna noodles. Spoon "beef" mixture onto noodles, then some of the bechamel. Toss on some of the basil. Add another layer of noodle, then tofu mixture, basil and more bechamel sauce. Continue layering, ending with a layer of the 1/2 cup of reserved tomatoes, then place lasagna noodles on top. Spoon the remaining bechamel sauce over the top, making sure to cover the entire surface of the uncooked top layer of noodle.
Take about 1/4 cup of fresh water and pour around the sides of the casserole to bring the moisture content up a bit, drizzle additional olive oil over the top then cover with foil, and bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking the lasagna for another 15 minutes or so. The lasagna should be bubbling and the noodles cooked through. Remove from oven, sprinkle with reserved chopped basil, additional olive oil if desired, and serve.
This lasagna keeps well and is even more delicious the next day. I usually make two 8X8 inch pans and then freeze one for days when I'm too busy to cook but want a quick, hearty, and nutritious supper.
Pesto Unlimited
Pesto Unlimited
Pesto brings to mind large handfuls of fresh basil, olive oil, and nuts and, while this is the most common way people think of it, lots of other vegetables and leafy herbs can be turned into a pesto, which simply means "paste."
Last night I made a broccoli pesto, but I have also made pesto from asparagus tips, leeks, artichokes, roasted peppers, or even spinach. What follows isn't an actual recipe, it's more of a "method" it's dead easy.
Take about a quarter to a half pound roughly chopped steamed broccoli tops and place them into your food processor bowl. Add two ot three cloves of fresh garlic and some salt. Pulse the broccoli-garlic mixture into a fine chop, then add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of pine nuts or almonds and process the mixture into a paste. Drizzle in some oilve oil and continue to process until you have a nice smooth consistency. I usually add a bit of crushed red pepper, but it's optional. Toss the broccoli pesto, as you would basil pesto, with your cooked pasta and serve it hot. This is also totally scrumptious spread on toasted Tuscan bread as a bruschetta.
Pasta Leftovers
Pasta Leftovers
Leftover pasta can be a great quick meal when you're in a time crunch, but the longer you store it the tougher and starchier it gets. Four days is about the limit for keeping plain, undressed pasta. After that, the best you can do is add it to a soup.
My method for bringing leftover pasta "back to life" is to warm a little olive oil in a skillet over low heat and toss in the pasta to warm it up slowly. This method gives a much better, more appetizing result than re-boiling it or microwaving it.
Another delicious option is to fry it in a little olive oil until the pasta is brown and crispy, then season with salt and pepper and serve it as a side dish.
Don't toss it away – try my tips for creating a delicious, easy, and quick meal with your leftover pasta.
Pasta Choices
I don't know what I would do if for some reason I bought into the latest craze of carb phobia and actually eliminated pasta from my diet entirely. There really is nothing faster and more satisfying than a dish of spaghetti, noodles or macaroni simply dressed with fresh veggies, a quick sauce , fresh herbs or a wash of good fruity olive oil. In fact I would encourage you to try many of the other varities of pasta or noodles on the market today. Even if you have a wheat allergy, there is something out there for you. Rice, soy and spelt pastas are virtually everywhere.
Lately I am using some of the more unusual pastas, unusual in the sense of not commonly used by most, and have discovered a whole new set of flavors and textures. From buckwheat to mung bean the colors, textures and flavors are just wonderful. With asian noodles, the cooking time is super fast, and it doesn't take much to prepare an authentic tasty and healthy meal that looks like you spent hours preparing.
On my last trip to Italy I noticed that whole wheat pasta is gaining in popularity, and for good reason. Not only are the health benefits increased, but that wonderful al dente texture remains nicely intact. If a change interests you, start with a good quality whole wheat pasta with your favorite sauce. Don't be put off by the darker color. Remember more color usually always spells better nutrition. Give these pasta choices a try – you may never go back to white pasta again.

Great protein powder

Mixes into fruit or vegetable juices really well and I like the taste. It seems easy on the digestion.
Works great...

Have used this now for about 1 year and it seems to work very well for me. I love that it's non-dairy and that the flavor is bland enough that it can be flavored nicely with berries/bananas, etc...
healthy and good for you, tastes pretty bad

this protein poweder is really good for you, it has good stuff in it but to me personally tastes awful. I must make it into a smoothie with frozen fruits and water just to get it down. Using a straw helps too. I had the cacao one before and I think that one tastes worse, so I guess out of those 2 this one tastes slightly tiny bit better, but still not good haha. But I have gotten used to the taste and I can get it down with my smoothies so I will keep doing it just cause of the benefits of this good for you raw protein powder.
can't deal with the taste...

sorry, I've tried this protein powder for the second time and there is something about the texture and taste that I just don't enjoy - even when I mix it with carob or other flavors. I prefer Life Basics with Greens! (this is my back up for when LB is out-of-stock) Content is good though.
Is this complete?

Is this complete protein? Why doesn't it mention anything about being complete, and where is the amino acid profile? I only figured out this after using it. Not all protein powders are the same. I found the Sun Warrior Blend provided much better results.
