Happy 30th Birthday, Kate Middleton!
2012 is set to be a big year for Kate Middleton. Not only is she kick-starting it with an '80s themed birthday bash but she's also set to step up her royal duties, which means more time in the spotlight. And more time for us to envy those beautifully bouncy blow-dries. To chart this milestone birthday, we're taking a look back at Kate's evolving style, from when she was just three, right up until her look for last night's War Horse premiere in London. One thing we did notice is that she can give Robert Pattinson a run for his money in the hair-touching stakes!

Worldview Confrontation
Yesterday, I defined and developed the concept of a worldview. Now we need to apply this understanding to our lives as followers of Christ.
Christians are called by God to contrast our worldview against the false worldviews of others, proclaiming our faith to all people. Jesus Christ said, "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters" (Matthew 12:30). Hence, there is no neutrality. No individual thinks or acts apart from his or her worldview. One's worldview is either based on Jesus Christ and his revelation or on a faulty foundation of rebellion against him. The Apostle Paul expresses this truth regarding humanity's state since the Fall: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth" (Romans 1:18, emphasis added). People are not ignorant of God. They reject his authority and suppress his truth in their rejection of him. Thus, followers of Christ are enlisted to warn others of their standing before God, pleading with them to turn from their sinfulness and to embrace Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. In other words, we are to engage in worldview confrontation.
How are we to accomplish this task? By contrasting our views in the four fundamental worldview elements. In the area of creation, we address questions such as: Did the universe begin? If so, how? Does God exist? What is humanity and how do we relate to God? How do humans relate to each other (in the matters of racial differences and gender differences)? What is the world made of? What can we know about the world and God? When referring to the Fall, we answer questions regarding what is wrong with the world: Why aren't things the way they should be? How can we improve the world? Then we turn to the element of redemption and ask: Is there a solution to the problems in the world? If so, what is it? Lastly, we examine the concept of restoration and answer: What purpose is there in the world? What does the future hold? Obviously, some of our answers cover multiple areas. Addressing the concept of time (linear or circular) could be seen in the spheres of creation and restoration, or more likely all aspects of a worldview. Thus, we bring all areas of a worldview to bear when speaking with others. When those we are talking with give unbiblical answers to these questions, we show them that they are wrong and inconsistent in their worldview. Then we tell them about God's truth as manifested in his revealed worldview.
However, this contrast is not only to be given in personal conversations. Christians are to engage every part of culture. In today's world, our engagement must include the media outlets that supply news and information to our societies. Of course, most news reports are not going to convey a fully formulated worldview. At the same time, they will address at least one aspect of a worldview. Worldview confrontation includes media analysis. Christians must not simply be passive recipients of news and information. Our Lord has called us to be salt and light in this fallen world (Matthew 5:13-16). He leads us to address whatever important worldview issues are raised by the media outlets and to relate them to his truth.
Nevertheless, scrutinizing newspaper articles, television reports, etc. can become complicated. We will not only seek to understand the worldview of the story, but we will also have to deal with the worldview of the reporter. Therefore, two levels of worldview are working together to produce news. For example, suppose I were reading about a story of radical Muslims in the Middle East. I may interact with a worldview issue in Islamic fundamentalism, but I will also simultaneously be learning about this issue through the worldview of a Western reporter. People often recognize blatant examples of a reporter's worldview when they think a piece is biased. In a sense, a reporter is always biased, using his or her worldview to inform us of new information. When these worldview layers are recognized, they both need to be assessed in media worldview confrontation.
Believers in Christ are to be faithful in following their Savior, freely proclaiming the truth of Christianity. This proclamation will inevitably lead to analyzing and confronting other worldviews. Whether we are speaking with our next-door neighbor or we are engaging the media, our responsibility is to remain faithful to God and his revelation in every area of our lives and our world.

Great water heater, very fast, very hot!
By KimL
from Addison, IL
About Me Homeowner
Comments about Reliance Sta-Kleen 1212 Series 40 Gallon High Efficiency Tall Gas Water Heater:
Replaced a 12-year Kenmore that was installed 15 years ago. This one has very similar features, with the same long parts warranty. Consumer Reports says to purchase the one with the longest warranty that you can afford, so I was glad Abt carried this model.My old water heater was still working, but on its last legs. I am shocked that I can now get *hot* water, I was settling for tepid without realizing how bad the other one was. This one has newer safety features, and the pilot igniter, no more long matches. Very pleased with this so far. I do wish that it had a digital thermometer, but apparently only the expensive hybrids do. I purchased the Abt 12 year labor warranty at a very good price to go with the parts warranty. We'll see if it lasts as long as the Kenmore, I hope so.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent, long lasting product
By Julielikes

This replaces a previous Reliance water heater that never needed repair in its 17 year use. I have high expectations for this model.
The installation was on time, done professionally by pleasant installers who provided on-going helpful information about the appliance, its use and maintenance. The village inspector complimented the job that the ABT installers did.
So far so good.

Only had it about a month but so far no issues at all.
Delivery and installation was outstanding in every way. Guys showed up exactly when they said they would and were courteous and friendly. The installation is beautiful and highly professional. They went above and beyond what was striclty necessary to install. They even cleaned up after themselves. I can't say enough good things about it.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Ann Darrow O'Brien was the young, smart, and wealthy daughter of an eminent scientist and explorer who, at the start of the series, had disappeared two years ago and left his daughter and her assistant Akiko Oki living in his palatial Bay Area estate. To the surprise of many, the young Ann had been keeping the estate solvent. But in the first story, Ann's amoral half-sister Oniko (who left the family 15 years earlier to join a mysterious criminal enterprise) and her two henchmen enter the estate to take it over. The sisters have a brawl in an unused dimensional transportation chamber, and Ann accidentally hits a button that kicks off a "life form retrieval beam." The chamber explodes as it summons the giant, simian genius Axewell Tiberius, who's combating an unknown, apelike enemy. The henchmen escape with Oniko and the still-alive head of that enemy, while Ann and Akiko befriend Tiberius and give him a place in the estate's library.O'Brien discovers that the blast in the chamber had released a mysterious radiation that affects both her and Oniko. Immediately after the explosion, her eyes turn orange -- the same color as Tiberius's. The next night, she needs almost no sleep to feel refreshed. The next day she finds that her sneakers no longer fit her feet: "I was growing faster than a teenager!" She performs better and better at physical tasks, lifting tons of free weights and at one point making a 60 mile run in 30 minutes without much effort. She frets a little about the ongoing growth spurts (wasting plenty of money on clothes that become too small in 24 hours), but finally settles in at seven feet tall and 250 pounds.One adventure involved Ann being hit by Monkeyman's Bio Mass Argumenter causing her to grow infinitely. She grew so large that she dwarfed the galaxy.

Bittman's No Knead Bread~Question about pot to use?
I don't own a Le Crueset, and all I have is a cast iron skillet. Alot of Pyrex, but nothing large enough. I do have a stainless steel 8qt. which is actually on the heavy side. My question is about the lid. It's glass with a s.steel handle. Would it be safe to use this to the temp of 450 degrees? Since the ingredients are so cheap, the worst case scenario would be to just throw it out if the final product didn't turn out.
The stainless steel pot itself would probably be OK but I wouldn't risk the glass lid. I have two of the same type of pots (mine are Dansk) with the glass lids with a metal handle. I was told when I purchased them not to use them in an oven over 350 degrees as the lids are not Pyrex.
If in doubt I would contact the manufacturer. No sense in loosing your lid to high heat. I dropped one of mine, it shattered all over the place like a pane of glass and I have not been able to find a replacement.
re: gozz37
Can Pyrex glass bakeware take 500 degrees???
re: ChowFun_derek
Don't know about 500 - I do have a pyrex pizza dish that I've used in the oven up to 450 with no problem. My other pyrex has been used at lower temps (350-400).
A cast iron dutch oven would work just as well as a enameled Le Crueset pot. Mr Bittman is using the pot as a mold, and the extra heat energy that the enameled cast iron has will aid crust formation, so a cast iron dutch oven will do the same job in a admirable and less expensive way.
Pyrex is not to be used at over 400F, or you risk cracking it.
re: Kelli2006
(I think the OP has a cast iron skillet, not Dutch oven.) Is there such a thing as a cast iron loaf pan? With lid? If this bread is as great as everyone says I'd like to have options with shapes and sizes. I am starting mine today (as soon as I can draaag myself away from this machine.) I'll follow the original recipe for 1st try. I wonder if this bread is making waves in bakeries too, or just here?
re: Kelli2006
Since a poster above says that Bittman mentions Pyrex in his article/video as a vessel for the bread, somebody should write to the Times to let him know of this serious problem! I'm sure he'd want everybody to know about possible craking.
re: Kelli2006
450 degrees is perfectly safe provided you avoid thermal shock.
Pyrex is common in laboratory equipment, where the safety rule is not to exceed the strain point of 959 degrees F.
re: Robert Lauriston
You must pre-heat the Pyrex, and drop the wet room temperature dough into it--that might cause it to break the glass?
re: blue room
I'm steering away from pyrex because I think that is enough of a temperature difference to cause the 'thermal shock' to which Robert Lauriston refers.
I have never seen any loaf(besides a Pullman) pan with a lid, but cast iron is available in many variety baking shapes. I have a few class and ceramic baking pans, so they are definitely available.
The bread that Mr. Bittman is describing is just a extreme example of the poolish method, and that is how the best rustic European breads are made.
I also don't have a dutch oven (in any form), but really wanted to try this recipe.
I ended up used my pyrex deep dish pie dish and cocoon-ed it in heavy-duty aluminum foil. I used two sheets of the really long aluminum foil and once I added the bread dough, I crimped the two edges together to get it as sealed as possible. Also, I baked at 450 degrees, which is the temperature on the recipe.
I think I did ok considering I didn't have one of the key tools (the dutch oven) for this bread recipe!
A pic of the outside:
A pic of the inside:
re: virtualfrolic
I also thought of using aluminum foil and a simular container. Thanks for posting the pictures. It looks like it was a success!!!
I didn't hav the rite size LC, so I used a corningware casserole dish. It is about 4 inches high and 8 inches wide. I don't have a lid for it, but I found a metal pie pan that fit and put my heavy cast iron skillet on top of that. I preheated all 3 of these in oven before baking. The bread turned out great and has a terrific crust as well as looking beautiful. This must be a pretty forgiving recipe and it's so easy.
re: jackie de
I don't know if you've seen the post about success with a smaller LC pot, i.e., 4.5 qts. I've successfully made the bread twice in that size.
You might consider buying a cast iron pot. Lodge pots are great, but if the price is a problem, look at camping stores. They often have really good prices on dutch ovens. Just be careful you don't get a pot with the little feet or you'll have trouble putting it on an oven rack.
I baked mine in a Calphalon pot whichh worked perfectly. I think a clay pot or Romertopf would be even better but mine is too big.
I chanced upon what (I hope) is just what I've been looking for size-wise: $6.99 from the Hispanic Foods aisle at the grocery store got me a six-inch "caldera" (that's "pot" in Spanish) ... heavy aluminum, heavy fitted lid, not so wide as to let the dough spread out too thin.
I've also seen similar pots in the local Asian supermarket (though I can't say whether they stock them for the local Asian clientele or the local Hispanic clientele, whom they also serve with specialties).
re: wayne keyser
Wayne, please report back on how this caldera works---the price is sure right and if it works, well worth looking into! Love the bread, but hate having to go out and spend $100. plus on a LC pot. Thanks for the tip.
Aluminum and stainless steel don't have the same heat-retention characteristics as the recommended cast iron, enameled cast iron, or Pyrex.
re: blue room
I think Le Creuset still makes a covered terrine whichh would give you a loaf shape, though size is smaller than usual for bread.
re: cheryl_h
LC does make a terrine, covered, but it is 4 inches wide and 12 inches long, with sharp corners--just a little too extreme for a loaf of bread--I'll keep looking!
re: blue room
I have two Lodge loaf pans, and I considered using them but they would be
too small if stacked one on top of the other. I might try splitting
a batch of dough and using them preheated without a cover. What do you
If you'd like a loaf shape, instead of round, maybe a ceramic loaf pan with *another*, identical, ceramic loaf pan as a lid would work? Or would that let out too much steam?
I am aware that "Aluminum and stainless steel don't have the same heat-retention characteristics as the recommended cast iron, enameled cast iron, or Pyrex."
But my first effort used the only heavy vessel in the house: an 8-qt aluminum spaghetti kettle. And aside from allowing the dough to spread too thin, it worked as expected. The product simply left me awestruck.
re: rainey
I found that with my first loaf I tried last night, my 6 quart enameled dutch oven (Lodge, not Le Creuset) was large enough that the dough never reached the sides of the pan. If I had let it rise a bit more it might have done so though. I'm going to try my next batch in my 3 quart one.
I'll be using my new "caldera" (as mentioned above) tonight - will let y'all know ("y'all" - that's "Suth'run" for "youse guys")
I used a Pyrex bowl ( the only thing I had ) but it wasn't deep enough and the bread ended up hitting the glass lid. So now I'm thinking of using the ceramic pot that came with my crock-pot. I'm not sure about the cover, so I would use an inverted lasagna pan as a cover. Any thoughts? I don't own a LC - too poor to buy one and no one took the bait on my registry three years ago. Bummer!
My other thought is simply using my bread stone and using my stock pot as a cover.
Any suggestions?
PS: the bread came out fine with the Pyrex. It was just a little flat and i didn't get the full oven spring on the bread.
re: agninri
Have you tried using the crockpot crock? I couldn't find any info about how high of a temp you can use with a crockpot for it to still be safe.
re: nicoleberry83
I have been using the crock-pot pot now for about 10 loaves and I haven't had a single problem. I'm even using the glass lid that came with it. The adjustment I've made is unscrewing the knob so it wouldn't melt. It makes removing the lid a little tricky, but otherwise I'm really happy with doing it this way.
The loaves have come out great. I am obsessed with this recipe. :)
I promised you a "caldera" report.
Added just a teensy bit more flour to get, hopefully, a slightly less gummy dough. (I don't know how much - a teensy bit.) The dough looked more like what I saw in the video.
Rose only 12 hours - had to get on with it. Then, of course, the second 2-hour rise, in a plastic bowl liberally sprayed with Pam. Was able to turn the dough out a little better with the coated bowl, so kept some of the loft from the rise. Baked as directed.
The pot was heavy aluminum (1/8" or so) and the lid was just as heavy. The dough almost filled the pot - I was worried that it would rise too much in the oven.
Result: It did rise only enough to assume the shape of the pot lid, but that was more rising than my first try achieved. (The first time I used an 8-qt aluminum kettle, and had quite a fight trying to get it into the pot, so lost quite a bit of loft.)
Flavor was very good, but 16-18 hours would have much improved the flavor (when I had to go ahead and bake, it had not yet achieved that look described in the recipe as "lots of tiny holes on top.")
Crust was just fine - crackly, not as tough as the first try. Crumb lacked the big holes I had in the first try - maybe the short rise, maybe the slightly-small pot?
Anyway, a heavy pot is, I'm sure, essential - but aluminum worked quite satisfactory. Hurray for the $6.99 caldera!
re: wayne keyser
Hmm... carblover also had some issues with the air pockets in her bread and she also did the second rise in a bowl. I mentioned that RLB (I think) said that rising in bowl prevents the oxygen from migrating through the dough properly. So maybe doing the second rising in a bowl isn't the best solution if you want bigger holes?
It's hot out of the oven. No it isn't the no-knead loaf, but it is a classic rustic leavened bread baked in a flower pot instead of an enameled casserole. I followed the procedures for the basic leavened bread in Jeff Hamelman's book, which involves a minimum of kneading and several folds during the bulk fermentation and then a long rise for the loaves. While the bread was rising, I prepared a 10 1/2 inch bulb pan by greasing the inside with Crisco and prebaking it in the oven at 250-350-450-each for 20 minutes, and then leaving it to cool. Before baking, as I was unsure of the effect if the drain hole, I put a round of foil on the bottom. I preheated the pot with the saucer to 450, slashed the loaf and plopped it in the pot and then covered it with the preheated saucer. I baked for 20 minutes covered and 20 minutes uncovered. The oven spring was spectacular--the loaf came out almost a sphere. And the crust looks as good as anything I've ever baked. I'll do the no-knead bread next. This is an extraordinarily good and inexpensive alternative to expensive ironware.
I used a Le Cruset casserole both times I made it, but a word to the wise: if the pot gets TOO hot, the bread sticks and burns on the bottom. I almost ruined my pot that way. After several weeks, it is still sadly charred. Admittedly, my Viking runs a litte hot, but I turned the heat down the second time I made it, and it came out perfectly.
re: roxlet
I have seen some reports of burning on the bottom, but I have not had this problem, and my bread came right out of the pot with no sticking at all. If you can raise the oven rack to get it away from the heat source a bit, that should help.
............and to elaborate on Father Kitchen's 28 Dec 06 post: Home Depot sells a rectangular pottery "Roman Window Box, 12.5 In" in the gardening section, SKU 200330033 for $8.49, which works like a charm. No greasing, use a bit of foil in the bottom to cover the two drain holes, use foil as a cover. Fantastic results.
And Cook's Illustrated recently gave high marks in their tests to the Chefmate 4-qt. dutch oven they sell for $40 at Target. I just bought one. It's an attractive dark red and looks like sturdy enamel. I will remove the knob from the lid; it's only oven safe to 350. Can't wait to try this bread out! I think I have some rosemary, sage, and olives I'd like to try in it. Now I just have to figure out how much to make to fit in that vessel. Love all the pottery vessel tips above, tho -- great to know if I need to bake a giant loaf for a party or something....
Cadac makes a cast iron bread pot with lid, which I have. It makes a great No Knead loaf!! Here's a link but I don't know anything about the place selling these, or the manufacturer. Mine was a gift from a friend overseas.
re: c webb
I am kind of amazed that these posts about the Lahey recipe are still going strong. By now readers should have caught on that the actual container isn't critical. The ideal is to have something with some thermal mass that holds the heat. That way, the dough doesn't start off in a cold atmosphere while the oven recovers from having the door opened. Secondly, the idea is to trap the steam in the first part of the bake so that the oven spring won't be hampered by a tight, dry skin on the dough. Then the steam is released by taking the lid off so that the crust can bake and excess moisture can escape. Rosy Levy Beranbaum (see her web site) has had great luck baking the Lahey loaf in a steamed oven on a tile without a pot to cover it. I got my flower pot idea from a recipe in Elizabath David's bread book. She also suggests, in another recipe, to cover a loaf with an overturned bowl--essentially what you do with a bread cloche. The ideal, for me, would be a retained-heat oven as in Scott and Wing's book or in Kiko Denzer's. In England, it is possible to buy a small terra cotta beehive oven from Portugal that could be used anyplace it is safe to use a portable barbecue grill. But I haven't found an importer for the U.S. So any combination that delivers retained heat and a closed atomosphere will work, whether it is in a pot or on a tile with a pot or bowl overturned on it. And quite obviously, this baking method works with any loaf of bread, provided the shape of the container is suitable and the temperature is right. For enriched breads with a lot of sugar in them, you would want a lower baking temperature--say about 375.

A 69-year-old woman has died from injuries sustained in a crash Tuesday morning on Highway 153 in Chattanooga.
The crash happened around 7:30 a.m. at the Grubb Road intersection.
Investigators believe a Dodge Caravan was traveling south on Highway 153 and a Ford Fusion was attempting to cross from Grubb Road.
At this time, investigators have no witness information to assist them in determining which vehicle had the right of way at the time of the collision and ask anyone who witnessed this crash to call 423-698-2525.
There were five occupants in the Caravan, all were transported to a local hospital for injuries ranging from critical to minor. The driver of the Fusion was also transported to a local hospital and is currently in critical condition.
One of the passengers of the Caravan, Mary Hickman, later passed away.
The investigation is ongoing.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has appointed the Public Works Institute of Malaysia (Ikram) to create a Hazard and Risk Map to pinpoint slopes that are dangerous in Kuala Lumpur as a precautionary measure.
Mayor Datuk Ahmad Phesal Talib said from this map, this will enable them to identify slopes that needs maintenance work.
"We will also consider to implement a method applied in Hong Kong where serial numbers will be given to each slope to ease the maintenance work and
monitoring in future," he said after meeting with Bukit Setiawangsa residents who were affected by the land slide on Dec 28.
He added they will discuss the suggestion with the Minerals and Geoscience Department.
Ikram chief operating officer Mohd Taufik Harun said from the map, they will be able to prioritise which slopes need immediate attention and action
before any untoward incidents.
"The map is expected to be completed in one and a half years time from this January," he said.
Meanwhile, Ahmad Phesal said the developer of the affected houses at Bukit Setiawangsa, I&P Group Sdn Bhd, has been instructed to come up with a new
design for the affected slope by end of next month for the long term solution to the slope.
"We will also give a schedule for I&P to follow in conducting works on the slope to ensure it will not be dragged on.
"This will also allow the 58 families and shopkeepers who were evacuated can return to their homes and premise," he said, adding the short-term
remedial works to the slope is expected to be completed by Jan 31.
He added the new design will determine how many houses on the hill will need to be demolished.
Ahmad Phesal said from the meeting between DBKL, Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin had
meeting with Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, it has been decided that I&P will be held responsible for compensation to the affected
residents and shopkeepers.
When asked on the amount of compensation, he said they would have to look into the matter first to determine the amount.
On Dec 28, residents of Bukit Setiawangsa were shocked when the land erosion causes most parts of a 43m concrete embankment in the area to

A cardigan is a sweater that opens in the front and attaches with either buttons, hooks, or a zipper. Cardigan sweaters are thought to have originated in 17th century France and the British Isles, where fishermen wore heavy, hand-knitted woolen sweaters. Fondly known as fishermen's sweaters, the industry of knitting the heavy sweaters soon became popular on the coast of Ireland. Fishermen and outdoor workers sought out the expensive cardigans that kept them warm during the harsh North Atlantic winters.
Today the same cardigan sweaters are produced in Ireland and although they are still worn for warmth, they have become a fashion statement for casual wear. Yet cardigans are not limited to this heavy, woolen style; cardigan sweaters can be made of nearly any fabric, with styles for both women and men. Styles include fabrics such as wool, cotton, polyester, rayon, cashmere, Lycra and many more.
Men's cardigans have been immortalized by the American children's television personality, Mr. Rogers. Who doesn't remember Mr. Rogers taking off his sports coat and donning a thin, solid colored cardigan while singing a cheerful song to his viewers? He always managed to zip up the cardigan at the precise moment that the song reached its pinnacle. Cardigans for men can be made of thin cotton or polyester, much like the cardigans of Mr. Rogers' fame, or a variation of the heavy wool types still known as fishermen's sweaters.
As with many things, women have a large assortment of cardigan sweaters from which to choose. While men generally wear cardigans as casual wear, women's cardigan sweaters range from casual to dressy. The fishermen's cardigan is just as popular with women as it is with men, but women will also find cardigans in light wool, cotton, or even cashmere with lace collars and jeweled or pearled buttons. While these fancier cardigans would never be worn in a formal or even semi-formal setting, they are perfect for very dressy occasions such as garden parties, teas, and showers. Many women enjoy wearing cardigan sweaters as a jacket on blustery fall days or chilly summer evenings. A cardigan is easily put on and taken off and can be taken anywhere.
From heavy wool to thin cotton, and from chunky wooden buttons to a thin zipper or snaps, cardigan sweaters are popular clothing options that are here to stay.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Black Bean Spaghetti?
1 Attachment(s)
I ran across this stuff (Black Bean Spaghetti shape by Exploreasian), and figured it was too good to be true, but couldn't resist not picking it up, to see what others thought.
Has anyone tried it? How's the taste, texture, and did it affect your blood sugars?
It's nutrition facts claim:
2 oz serving = 19 g carbs and 12 g fiber = 5 gram Net carbs
Ingredients = Organic Black Beans, Water.
From the Nutrition Data website, black beans are about 5 NC per oz; so theoretically it might be possible to create some diluted black bean paste that evaporates into a pasta like form.
I love it. There is a thread here someplace.
Found it.
We need some people to test their blood sugars to see if reacts like a 5 grams of carbs with a 30 glycemic index value would for them.
Tastes pretty good, a lil chewy, but better than shirataki hands down.
I just have my doubts after the whole Dreamsfield Pasta disappointment.
Yeah I'd really like to try these, but I don't want to become attached to a product that "Dreamfields" me. And yes I just used Dreamfields as a derogatory verb.
If you have ever made pasta the trick is to get it to a consistency that floats in water and stays together. I don't know how easy it is to arrive at a solution of beans that stays together to cook it as a pasta. 2 ozs beans have 14 carbs and 4 g fiber so where do the 12 g fiber come from if the only ingredients are beanpaste and water?
The only way I could see it is if they added extra "skins " from black beans without adding the soft interior to increase the fibre count.
Thanks for posting the thread Taxbane! I had never heard of these but am definitely willing to try them.

Sears Holdings Corp. (SHLD) named former Brookstone Inc. (BKST) executive Ron Boire chief merchandising officer to revamp its retail experience as the largest U.S. department store chain works to revive sales.
Boire, 50, will lead merchandising for both Sears and Kmart, the Hoffman Estates, Illinois-based company said today in a statement. He was previously president and CEO of Brookstone, an electronics chain, and also spent 17 years at Sony Electronics Inc. in various roles.
Boire joins the retailer as Chairman Edward Lampert, who along with his hedge funds owns 60 percent of Sears, attempts to reverse four years of declining sales. Sears tumbled 27 percent on Dec. 27 after announcing plans to close as many as 120 stores. Same-store sales fell 5.2 percent in the eight weeks ended Dec. 25, the company said last month.
Using technology "there's opportunity to dramatically change some of the presentations," Boire said today in an interview, without providing specific plans. "The commitment is there to invest in great ideas."
Sears fell 0.7 percent to $31.56 at 1:04 p.m. in New York. The shares declined 56 percent last year.
"There's plenty of good people that they've brought in that have not been able to turn around the business," Matthew McGinley, a managing director at New York-based International Strategy & Investment Group, said today in an interview. "It's like a revolving door there."
Increase Investments
The company will increase investments in its best- performing stores, Chief Executive Officer Lou D'Ambrosio said today in an interview, adding that he's looking for "more theater, more engagement" for customers. He declined to say how much Sears planned to spend.
D'Ambrosio, a former Avaya Inc. and International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) executive, said in an interview last week that he is seeking to gather more information about customers' buying patterns and product preferences and to boost Internet operations. He aims to combine technology with spending on stores to turn around the retailer.
"We're going to take whatever actions are necessary to restore greatness to this company," D'Ambrosio said in an interview.
Sears has given store salespeople more than 5,000 Apple Inc. iPads and 11,000 iPod touches to track inventory and customer orders.
D'Ambrosio is the fourth CEO since Lampert merged Sears with Kmart in 2005. Lampert, who has presided over 18 consecutive quarters of declining sales, has tried several strategies including opening smaller "specialty" stores.
Instead of reviving growth, Sears has lost customers and market share to discounters such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) and Target Corp. (TGT), which are attracting budget-minded consumers.

On Monday, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Deputy Administrator Therese McMillan joined with Wilmington, N.C. officials to celebrate the grand opening of Wave Transit's new Forden station. The FTA provided 70 percent of the funding for the $5.3 million project, including $600,000 in Recovery Act funds."The addition of the new Forden station is good news for commuters in Wilmington coping with $4-a-gallon gas," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "Even more residents will now have access to a cleaner, more comfortable and more affordable way to get to work, school or other destinations around the city. Public transit is about choice, and I'm proud that our partnership with the city of Wilmington is helping to provide expanded opportunities for area residents."The 9,000-square-foot indoor transfer facility, named after former Wilmington Transit Authority Chair and civil rights leader Harry Forden, is located on Cando Street at the center of Wave Transit's service area. The new facility, which replaces the transit agency's longtime headquarters on Castle Street, will serve approximately 1.5 million riders a year."North Carolina continues to realize the benefits of the Recovery Act," McMillan said. "This facility in this location is exactly what smart urban planning is all about. It's about offering good public transportation choices that go hand-in-hand with revitalizing the local economy, creating jobs and bringing new economic opportunity into the downtown area."The building, which is designed to meet Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification, also houses offices for the administrative staff. It will also provide Wilmington transit riders with real-time information on bus arrivals and departures. It will feature energy-saving geothermal heating and cooling units and LED lighting.

Job #1095
We invite applications for a tenure-track Assistant/Associate Professor of Biology in Evolutionary Biology to begin August 2015. We prefer taxonomic expertise in plants or fungi, but candidates with interests in other organisms will also be considered. Research interests should complement those of current faculty. This appointment will be at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor (depending on qualifications).
Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant discipline (post-doctoral experience preferred), teaching experience, and demonstrated commitment to excellence in teaching as well as scholarship involving undergraduates. Teaching responsibilities will include lower division courses (introductory biology, or new sophomore level courses in genetics or cell biology), one or more upper division courses in area(s) of expertise, and departmental service courses for majors or non-majors. The average teaching load is 10-12 contact hours/semester (including labs); a common course load is 3 lectures and 4 labs per academic year. Faculty also mentor senior capstone projects (literature reviews or research projects).
We seek a collegial scholar-teacher whose research interests complement existing expertise in the department. We expect the successful candidate to establish an active research program with undergraduates. The research program must be successful and feasible in our liberal arts college setting; it should also be attractive to our student body, which includes many preparing for professional school in the health professions (e.g., optometry, physical therapy, pharmacy) as well as some pursuing teaching, environmental biology, and other professional work in the life sciences. Our research facilities include a greenhouse, and start-up funds are provided.
Pacific University is particularly interested in candidates who can contribute, through their research, teaching, or service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community.
Minimum requirements for the position include a PhD in biology, or equivalent terminal research-based degree; one academic year of college or university teaching experience (TA or instructor); and two years research experience in evolution. Education, teaching and research may be gained concurrently.
Pacific University is an independent, comprehensive university in Forest Grove, Oregon (about 25 miles west of Portland). The Biology department is part of the College of Arts and Sciences (ca. 1700 students), a liberal arts undergraduate college where faculty and staff are committed to an intimate, personalized education. The University also includes a College of Health Professions (including Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physician Assistant Studies, Pharmacy, Dental Science and Professional Psychology), a College of Optometry, a College of Business, and a College of Education.
The Biology Department currently has 10 permanent faculty members and 2 laboratory support staff. We are committed to learning through discovery in both the laboratory and the classroom. We graduate 35-50 majors each year. Many of our graduates pursue graduate or professional study in the health sciences or careers in teaching, biology research, or environmental biology.
Application materials
Please submit:
- a cover letter that addresses your preparation/promise to teach in a liberal arts college with many pre-health professions students
- Curriculum vitae
- a teaching philosophy, with a separate section identifying courses you would feel qualified and comfortable teaching (upper and lower division)
- a research statement, which should include a brief summary of prior research, a research plan for a liberal arts institution, and an argument for how your research program at Pacific would attract and involve undergraduates. Selection criteria will include feasibility of research plan and fit to our department and student body.
- Unofficial graduate and undergraduate transcripts
- Arrange for three letters of reference (at least one of which speaks directly to teaching ability and experience) to be submitted directly.
- In October, candidates on our short list may be requested to submit evidence of teaching experience and excellence, such as teaching evaluations, reports from observers, or examples of teaching materials; please do not include these materials with your initial application.
Please combine application materials 1-4 into a single file (.pdf or .doc), in the order listed above, with the following naming: Last name, First name, Evolution 2014.
Send applications electronically to Patty Larkins (address below); put Evolutionary Biology 2014 as the subject in your email.
Patty Larkins | Administrative Assistant, School of Natural Sciences
Review of applications will begin October 3 and continue until the position is filled. Contact Dr. Stacey Halpern (Biology Department Chair) with questions.

Former Virginia offensive lineman Morgan Moses has signed his first NFL contract with the Washington Redskins.
The team announced its deal with Moses on Twitter Thursday morning, complete with a picture of the offensive tackle signing the contract. Moses is the last of Washington's eight draft picks to sign with the Redskins.

Moses is expected to play right tackle for Washington, where he was the Cavaliers' starter as a sophomore and junior.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WSAZ) -- Supporters of the coal industry gathered Friday to discuss what is referred to as the "War on Coal" by government regulations.
U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell is sponsoring what he calls, "The Coal Country Hearing EPA Refused to Have."
The discussion is taking place at the University of Pikeville.
More than 200 concerned workers, business leaders and local politicians are expressing their concerns on the future of coal.
Howard Abshire is a laid off miner who brought his coal helmet and a broken heart because he can't support his family.
Abshire says he doesn't want help, he wants to work for his family and keep the lights on for others, "I have something with me, this is coal; this is what keeps the lights on. They will light the national Christmas tree with this coal; this is what keeps the lights on. "
McConnell wants to take the people's voice to Washington with the hope of reducing regulations on coal mining and the people of Appalachia.

NEW YORK, NY. -- On Monday, the bankruptcy court judge ordered Hostess and its second largest union into mediation to resolve their differences. That means the Texas-based company will not go out of business right away.
The makers of Twinkies, Ding Dongs and HoHos have been weighed down by years of debt, management turmoil, rising labor costs and sliding sales. When Hostess leaders announced on Friday that they were shutting down after 82 years, fans emptied the shelves of their favorite pastries.
Some people were so panicked for their sugar fix that over the weekend, four boxes of Twinkies were listed for $3 million on Ebay.
