Egyptian Authorities Detain Foreign Journalists
Originally published on Mon December 30, 2013 7:42 am
The crackdown against the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is netting foreign journalists. A team from Al Jazeera English was detained by police yesterday. Egypt's military-led government has accused them of spreading false news and also of talking to members of the banned Muslim Brotherhood. Just a reminder, the Brotherhood is the movement led by Mohamed Morsi, who was deposed as president last summer. For more, we reached Shadi Hamid, an analyst with the Brookings Institution center in Doha. Welcome back to the show.
SHADI HAMID: Hi. Thanks for having me.
MONTAGNE: Tell us about these journalists. And also, Shadi, was there any basis at all for accusing them of spreading false news?
HAMID: Well, this is an international news team with Al Jazeera English, including an Australian journalist, Peter Greste. The accusation is that they're promoting incitement and promoting Brotherhood propaganda. Now, in today's Egypt anything that's critical of the government line is grounds for arrest or detention.
Journalists are supposed to be critical about government repression, so I assume that's what happened here. They felt that the criticism crossed certain lines. But it's hard to take any of these charges seriously. And that goes for most of the arrests that are happening in Egypt today on a daily basis were just talking about people who are protesting or opposing the government. But that's not allowed anymore to a large extent.
MONTAGNE: Well, about these journalists, though. Al Jazeera Egypt, the local Al Jazeera in that country, it was accused during Morsi's time as president of siding with the Muslim Brotherhood. So there's a history between the military rulers in Egypt and the backers of Al Jazeera. That's the government of Qatar. What about now?
HAMID: Sure. Yeah. This is a longstanding, long-sitting tension between Egyptian regime and Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera has been seen as sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood and Mohamed Morsi. So this goes back, you know, several months now. And that's why Al Jazeera has faced a number of limitations in their coverage inside of Egypt.
MONTAGNE: Yeah. So this is all, as you suggested, in the context of a crackdown, generally speaking, on anything that's negative about the government. And you have warned in recent weeks what you see as the authoritarian tendencies of this new leadership. What are you basing that on?
HAMID: I mean, first of all, since the military coup in July, there have been several mass killings, including what Human Rights Watch calls the worst mass killing in modern Egyptian history, which happened on August 14th. But also more generally, right now even being a member of the Brotherhood without actually doing anything, even if you're staying at home, that is now punishable by five years in prison, according to the penal code.
And it's not just affecting Brotherhood members or Islamists but increasingly it's targeting liberals and leftists who were at the forefront of ousting President Mubarak in January 2010-11. And these were people that the whole world was cheering on, these revolutionaries. And just a few weeks ago, three of them, including Ahmed Maher, one of the most prominent, was sentenced to three years in prison just for organizing peaceful protests.
MONTAGNE: What, then, does this say about where the country is headed?
HAMID: So in short, we're not just seeing a return to the old Mubarak era, we're seeing something considerably worse. The goal here isn't to restrict dissent, it's to eradicate dissent.
MONTAGNE: Shadi Hamid is with the Brookings Doha Center. Thanks very much for joining us.
HAMID: Thanks for having me.
MONTAGNE: This is NPR News.

Not to be a stickler, but this is a pretty good point. As well made as it is, this is definitely a cookie monster shirt with a smiley face slapped on a cookie as opposed to an anthropomorphic food design.

That's not Ramy-bashing, it's based on the rules and previous derby etiquette.
When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought someone had made a parody entry of a Portal-reference-shirt/Yay Broccoli mashup. So those were the first two things that popped into my head as well, before I even knew it was a legitimate entry or a Ramy shirt.

CallyNorth CarolinaAmazing StraightenerThis is an excellent choice for a straightener, its less expensive than some of the other models and works just as well. It heats up super fast and has multiple settings so depending what youre doing super high heat isnt forced on you. It left my hair straight very fast (faster than most salon folks can get it done in) and very soft. I have curly and thick hair that takes a lot of work to straighten and this product took that work out of the equation. I also like the wider plates because my hair is so thick it makes it faster to straighten with. It snagged my hair once but only when I pulled an excessively large clump through and Ive yet to find a straightener that DIDNT snag (Im tender headed though).posted Jan 12, 2009Link to this post
CheeziThe SandboxGreat Iron!I am still unsure about the content of the plates (pure ceramic?) but the product is great. What I like most about it is the extra long plates and its really lightweight and easy to handle. I think I like this more than my $100 CHI. In my pic, my hair had been washed, conditioned, airdried and then flat ironed with just a heat protectant spray. I rated it 4 stars because idk if the plates are ceramic or just coated.posted Jan 9, 2009Link to this post

MarinaAlabamaBroke After A Year And A Half.I used to LOVE this straightner. But one day after doing my hair, it turned off. I turned it back on, and it would cut of every 5 minutes. And now when i turn it on, i have to press the button at least 50 times. So now im getting a new straightner, which would be that red conair steam straightner. The reviews on that are exellent, and hopefully it wont break (:posted Dec 3, 2008Link to this post

StephanieLove It!I have gone through many straighteners including chi, solia, hot tools, etc, but this particular conair straightener is amazing! It really does make my hair feel so smooth and shiny afterwards and makes it straight that actually lasts. I would rate this best, but a couple of days ago my conair straightener began to not heat up, I changed outlets and even used electrical tape, but that didnt work so unfortuantly I do have to buy a new one :/posted Nov 15, 2008Link to this post
MaryAlabamaHairCurly HairBuy It!This straightener is a life saver. i straighten my hair almost everyday before school and it works great. I have unruly, super curly hair and i can finish straightening it in less than 20 min. Make sure that u do not wrap the cord around it b/c it can cause it to randomly turn off, but it totally still works. If u r worried about frying ur hair, u r fine. There are different levels to put it on and it is amazing. I have had it for over 1 1/2 years and it has been satisfactory from the get go! this is one of the best straighteners on the market!posted Sep 5, 2008Link to this post
AnonymousIncredible Flat Iron For A Great PriceI have been looking for a flat iron for a long time now and when i went to the local shoppers I saw this one and i have heard about it. So i went home and i did some research and the reviews impressed me. It made my hair very shiny and incredibly soft although it was soft before its even more soft now. I wary people that only to put a smal section of hair at a time or some hair will get caught on the end of the flat iron. i am quite impressed with this conair product. There is no need to buy a "miracle" flat iron! For this one will meet your needs if you have nice hair wavy to somewhat straight to having loose curls. I also love the case> Genious you dont even have to wait till it cools since the mat and the case is heat resistan tbut use the tabs to seperate the cord and the iron to prevent melting. Oh and the thing will shut itself off after 60 minutes if you leave it and forget. Still not recomended to leave it but ya a great product. I would suggest this product.posted Jul 28, 2008Link to this post
ClaudiaAnderson, SCSalon Results!! I'm Excited!I bought this product on Saturday and today I have salon results with this great Conair Infinity Nano Silver Hair Straightener! I have to say I was a little weary about it due to the cost and the first time I tried it I had it on the lowest setting because Im always worried about frying my fine wavy hair. This setting was not quite high enough because I wasnt impressed with the results. Today though, I stepped up to the next higher setting [310] and it was perfect! I looked in the mirror when I finished and I was totally impressed! It looked like I just walked out of the salon with a professional result, shine and all! I highly recommend this product even with the higher price, I just hope it has longevity!posted Jun 24, 2008Link to this post
ChristineFloridaUgh.Well my hair is really frizzy and kinky and likes to flip out. Since my hair is really short, i need it really straight to look good. this product just doesnt deliver! I would say that the straightening didnt even last 5 mintues, but it didnt even last that long! While i would straighten the other side of my hair, the previous side would star to curve under. It looks so stupid! So i would not suggest this product. And if you live in a humid place DO NOT buy this. One walk outside and fwoom! Back to stage one frizzy unruly hair. But I do suggest chi, my sister has one and I used it and it works great! :]posted Jun 17, 2008Link to this post

Doubront faces Tribe with increased velocity
Boston lefty threw hard in last outing; Kluber starts for Indians
The Sunday afternoon matchup between the Indians and Red Sox marks the last time the two clubs are scheduled to meet each other during the 2013 regular season.
After sweeping a three-game series in Cleveland last month, the Sox have won two of the first three contests of this weekend's four-game set at Fenway. In Sunday's finale, lefty Felix Doubront will throw for the home team opposite Indians right-hander Corey Kluber.
In his past two outings, Doubront lasted a combined 11 innings and compiled a 3.27 ERA. He also notched 10 strikeouts while walking eight. His fastball, which has typically stayed around 90 mph this season, reached 93 mph in his last start, as it had done often in 2012.
"It was consistent with his last outing down in Tampa and I think he's on to something with the adjustments he's made," Boston manager John Farrell said after Doubront's last appearance. "I thought today was another positive step for him here tonight."
In eight games this season (seven starts), Doubront is 3-2 with a 5.61 ERA.
"I'm feeling my breaking ball, feeling my fastball, everything went really well," Doubront said. "Step by step, I think I threw the ball well.
"I think everything is going in the right direction right now, just looking forward to my next outing."
That comes against Kluber and the Indians. The Tribe righty has had his difficulties in May, going 1-3 with a 6.75 ERA in four outings this month. Against Detroit on Tuesday, Kluber gave up three runs and eight hits -- including a costly two-run homer to Miguel Cabrera -- over 6 1/3 innings.
"I thought Corey was extremely aggressive and crisp," Indians manager Terry Francona said after Kluber's last start. "He's learning quickly. I think he's confident. He came out of the chutes tonight throwing pretty good, but he made a couple mistakes to the wrong guy."
On the season, Kluber is 3-3 with a 5.19 ERA.
Indians: Lower velocity has Pestano reeling
Setup man Vinnie Pestano has struggled in two of the four outings he's had since returning from the disabled list (right elbow tendinitis) on May 17. The righty gave up a game-tying homer in the eighth inning of a game against Seattle on Monday, and on Saturday was tagged for four runs (including the tying and go-ahead scores) in the Tribe's 7-4 defeat.
Before Saturday's outing, Pestano had never given up four hits or four runs in a single appearances. He also had never given up three doubles in one outing. Part of the problem was Pestano's decreased velocity, which he attributed to being on the DL and not throwing regularly.
"I'm still trying to figure it out," Pestano said. "I'm throwing 87-mph fastballs right now. That's something we've got to address."
Pestano has blown saves in two of his past three outings. He's 1-1 with a career-high 5.25 ERA.
Red Sox: Pedroia playing and raking every day
Dustin Pedroia drove in the go-ahead run in Saturday's 7-4 win for the Red Sox. He went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, a walk and a run scored. The effort lifted his season average to .337.
Pedroia has played in all 50 of Boston's games this season and managed to reach base in all but five of them. Farrell acknowledged that the second baseman might get a day off sometime soon, but he wouldn't be surprised if that day never came, either.
"I'll probably look [for a day off for him] and he'll probably continue to be in the lineup," Farrell said. "As we know, he's not a guy that's looking to come out of the lineup. Whether it's 162, there may be a time along the way where we give him a break, but right now he's still going strong."
Worth noting
• Through the first six games of the season series, the Red Sox have outscored Cleveland, 37-25.

20 Tantalizing Holiday Main Dishes
Cornish Game Hens with Root Vegetable Hash

Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb
With its short cook time, this Mediterranean-inspired roast leaves plenty of time (and space in the oven) for preparing side dishes. The recipe comes from chef Anne Kearney.
Tags: -
You can halve this recipe, but chef Gerard Craft says he likes to make a lot so he has leftovers for sandwiches. We recommend ordering pork belly through an independent butcher, not a supermarket. The staff will be more accustomed to unexpected orders, and you're less likely to receive a rock-solid frozen belly. They may even remove the skin and trim the meat for you. Fennel seeds work, but look for fennel pollen, which has a sweeter and more intense flavor, at specialty stores or online.
Chef Gerard Craft likes to serve Salsa Verde over potatoes or with porchetta.

Samardzija looks to regain form in matchup with Wolf
Coming off first poor start, Cubs ace trying to outduel veteran southpaw
Jeff Samardzija is coming off an uncharacteristically rough start, while Randy Wolf was riding high after his first win in two years.
On Saturday, the two veterans with extremely contrasting styles hook up in the middle of three games between the Marlins and Cubs at Wrigley Field.
Samardzija has been one of the hard-luck stories of the MLB season. The right-hander is just 1-5 despite a 2.54 ERA, which inflated in his last start, when he gave up eight runs in three innings against the Brewers. Prior to that start, the Cubs' ace had compiled a 1.68 ERA.
Wolf, meanwhile, has dealt with some tough luck on a personal note. The lefty has undergone two Tommy John surgeries, with the most recent one causing him to miss all of 2013. So when he beat the Rays in his last outing, it marked his first big league win since 2012.
Wolf is striving to prove he still has something left in a career that began with the Phillies in 1999.
How much so?
"At minimum, 2014 left," Wolf said. "I feel like I have a pretty good routine. I throw the same as I've always thrown. It's not like I was a flamethrower ever in my career. The fact that I've always thrown 88 [mph] -- it's not like I've had to make some huge adjustments."
Samardzija has been showing all season he is one of the top right-handers in the game. He's providing quality innings and starts on a team that has had its struggles but has shown improvement of late.
"There have been a lot of games this year where we've maybe not had the ability to overcome and win a ballgame," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. "But I still think that, for the most part, there have been many games where we fell a little short but we didn't quit."
Wolf has plenty of experience pitching at Wrigley Field, where he is 3-5 with a 4.02 ERA in 11 career starts. Lifetime on the road, the lefty is 69-64 (4.35).
Samardzija, who will be making his 13th start of the season, is 2-1 with a save and a 5.46 career ERA against the Marlins.
Cubs: Rizzo raking vs. lefties
Anthony Rizzo might have been a bit unsure of himself against a veteran lefty like Wolf a year ago, but this season, the lefty-swinging Cubs first baseman welcomes left-handed pitching. Rizzo entered Friday hitting .333 (19-for-57) with four home runs and 13 RBIs against lefties this season, a big jump from last year's .189 average.
In addition, Rizzo's 13 RBIs were tied with Atlanta's Freddie Freeman for second in the National League behind Philadelphia's Ryan Howard (15).
Rizzo's average was also the second-highest among NL left-handed hitters (trailing only Philadelphia's Ben Revere's .345 mark), while his 10 walks against left-handers were the most in the NL.
Marlins: Furcal moving closer to return
Rafael Furcal resumed his rehab assignment on Thursday, playing second base for Double-A Jacksonville. The 36-year-old, given the day off on Wednesday, started his assignment at Class A Jupiter before progressing a level in competition as he works himself back from a left hamstring strain and a right groin strain.
There remains no firm date for Furcal to rejoin the Marlins. Foremost, the team wants him to be healthy.
"The most encouraging thing is he's moving around better," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "He's feeling good. He's able to go left and right, and it looks like his legs are in shape, and he's swinging the bat good."
Ed Lucas and Donovan Solano have been starting at second base since Derek Dietrich was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans.
Because Furcal has been out all this season with leg issues -- and he missed all of 2013 due to Tommy John surgery -- the veteran is getting as many rehab games as possible. It is doubtful he would join the Marlins on their road trip, which continues this weekend in Chicago and next week at Texas.
"It's just a matter of him continuing to stay healthy and moving around," Redmond said. "I'm not sure when that day will come when he will be ready. All the reports I've got are he's feeling better and he should be on his way to Miami at some point."
Worth noting
• Indications are Marlins catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, on the seven-day concussion disabled list, will end up being transferred to the 15-day DL. The veteran backstop was clipped in the mask on a foul ball in a series last weekend against the Braves at Marlins Park. He has yet to be cleared for baseball activities.
• Marcell Ozuna has hit safely in seven straight games, and 10 of 11.
• Christian Yelich went 1-for-6 on Friday, snapping a four-game hitless string in which he was 0-for-11.
• Chris Coghlan drove in a run on Friday for the Cubs, and he has three RBIs in his last six games. Coghlan didn't pick up an RBI in his first 18 games.
• Nate Schierholtz picked up his 500th career hit on Friday with a single in the fifth inning off Nathan Eovaldi.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — There's really nothing quite like big media scrum around Scott Boras. Reporters fire off questions about more than a dozen players who are represented by Boras, who doesn't even have to pause and think before he responds with a detailed (and usually glowing) analysis of the market for said player.
And since the Nationals have so many ties to Boras now — Jayson Werth, Stephen Strasburg, Bryce Harper, Ivan Rodriguez, Jesus Flores, Danny Espinosa and Alberto Gonzalez — are all represented by him, as a reporter you have no choice but to wedge yourself into the scrum when Boras speaks at the Winter Meetings and glean whatever nuggets you can get out of him.
So, here's what the super agent had to say about some Nats-related matters just a few minutes ago…
On Stephen Strasburg: "His spirits are high. Coming through the surgery and understanding that he's A-OK and listening to the doctors comment, I think it's turned out where he's on the path of a very solid understanding of his future and where he can go."
On Strasburg's mechanics and whether he'll need to change them post-surgery: "I think we're going to leave the mechanics to the Washington Nationals. There's a lot of things that are said. But we've been through the Tommy John situation with a whole host of pitchersRead more »
- PAY TO PLAY - Dec 8, 2010 at 7:33 PM
I saw Boras on that staging area with the throng of reporters around him like riders at rush hour on a packed Metro. Unreal! He always seems the most important guy at MLB affiliated meetings where agents are in attendance!
- JamesFan - Dec 8, 2010 at 7:33 PM
Some may be frustrated with Boras, but if I was a player, he would be my guy. He represents his players with toughness and smarts, and gets the best value for their ability. What's wrong with that. It's a business after all.
- Anonymous - Dec 8, 2010 at 7:40 PM
Mark, if you get this, ESPN just said that the Nats were the team with the 7 year offer (again) for Lee. Any news that you heard of?
- NatsJack in Florida - Dec 8, 2010 at 7:45 PM
The very last place I go for baseball news is ESPN. Actually, it's the last place I go for anything news related.
- Pilchard - Dec 8, 2010 at 7:48 PM
Pena,Chicago > DCCubs = winners in comparison to the Nats. IOW, Nats = losers
- NatinBeantown - Dec 8, 2010 at 8:09 PM
Anon 2:40 – I wouldn't be surprised if that's a regurgitation of the NY Post's Sherman guessing at who the mystery team (or teams) that have offered 7 years, since the Rangers and Yankees have so adamantly denied. His guess:Maybe it really is the Nationals. One executive told me Washington's spending urge is being fueled by a perfect storm of an 85-year-old owner (Ted Lerner) who wants to win now and his son (Mark), who aggressively wants to make a name for himself and the franchise. As an NL executive said, "Once you give Jayson Werth seven years all bets are off for what you will do next." I have to insist that I rather enjoy the Nats current perception as crazed, prolific spenders. What a change!
- NatinBeantown - Dec 8, 2010 at 8:13 PM
…and also, what NatsJack said. ESPN is to journalism as Vince Gray is to charm.
- PAY TO PLAY - Dec 8, 2010 at 8:14 PM
If some team comes close to the 7 year $160+ mill deal Lee is looking for, that may get him. That equates to $23 million a year. I think to see if it is worth it you have to look at the value over a #2 or #3 pitcher you may be contemplating to sign as it is the incremental amount you will pay over a replacement pitcher, and the length of the contract are the 2 big considerations as it isn't so much the next 3 to 4 years, as it is years 5, 6, and 7 when Cliff Lee is 37, 38, and 39 years old and actuarily the decline of most pitchers careers as he may be worthless at that point.Andy Pettite was 38 years old this past season so it can still be done at that age which happened to be Pettite best W/L % of his career!Glad its not my money! I think Rizzo is smart enough to know when to walk away and know when to run.
- Bob L. Head - Dec 8, 2010 at 8:15 PM
I found Pena's comments somewhat refreshing, he took less years and signed with the Cubs because he likes the park, the city and the history. Of course I'm probably a sucker for that language because I'm from Chicago and grew up a Cubs fan. However, from that perspective, I can also say the following: wait, he knows the history and is still confident of winning? Sign him up, he'll fit right in on the North Side.
- Anonymous - Dec 8, 2010 at 8:20 PM
Since this is a Boras thread, it is appropriate to mention with all the rumor that goes on around these meetings that it is usually fueled by the agent's and team's leaks with more lying and BSing going on then at a Bachelor Party in Las Vegas!
- Anonymous - Dec 8, 2010 at 8:32 PM
Pena took a 1 year contract hoping to rebound from a dismal 09 showing. Or the Cubs don't think he rates more than a 1 year contract.
- Anonymous - Dec 8, 2010 at 9:15 PM
Pena + NL East pitching (Halladay, Oswalt, T. Hudson, J. Johnson, J. Santana) = another under .200 batting avg. and bad payday for 2012. Cubs best for future contract offers.
- Big Cat - Dec 8, 2010 at 9:46 PM
Harper isn't gonna miss a beat. He's comin to spring training and is goona just rip it up. I say keep him in the bigs. He's ready
- Doc - Dec 8, 2010 at 11:13 PM
ST will tell, but I think you're right Big Cat. Harper is a more advanced hitter than Bernadina, Maxwell, or Morgan in the OF. He's good enough to hit LHPers as well as RHPers. He also goes opposite field in a skilled manner, and his bat speed will be talked about.Still it won't hurt him to leave ST and play through the minors. He could easily start at AA, but I doubt that Rizzo will see it that way.We'll leave the IF guys out of this comparison. In time, Harper will settle, with his bat, any comparitive discussion.

Yup, the extra sauce is a keeper. I just made a penne pasta dish as well, but it didn't have all the ooey gooey creaminess that this one does. Totally comfort food.

I was wondering if you can taste the alfredo sauce, or if it just adds a little creaminess? I am not a huge fan of alfredo sauce but if it just adds more flavor without the taste that would be good for me.
Pics of this meal look delicious - January 13, 2012 at 10:21 AM
- The Country Cook said...
Hi Stephanie! Personally, I don't think the Alfredo Sauce has a strong flavor in this. It really just adds creaminess to the sauce. I love the additional garlic flavor that it adds when you use the garlic flavored alfredo sauce. Hope you enjoy it if you give it a try!
- January 13, 2012 at 10:24 AM
- SJerZGirl said...
I've used a no-boil recipe to make this and loved it, but I'm really liking the idea of the garlic Alfredo instead of ricotta - so much more affordable without much flavor variation. Will try this the next time I have all the ingredients.
- January 14, 2012 at 12:16 PM
thank you country cook i am definitely going to give the garlic alfredo a try.

Could you substitute ground pork instead of beef? This looks oh too good and I happen to have GP on hand.

Just took this out of the oven - and wow, does it look and smell great! I did add minced garlic to my red sauce and to the alfredo - also added some of the mozzarella to the alfredo noodle mix. Giving it a few minutes to cool and then feed the starving peeps here! Thank you so much for sharing great recipes!

My husband is allergic to eggs which is in many Alfredo sauces. Can I substitute something for it?
- August 26, 2012 at 3:10 PM

Hi Kim! I didn't think there were eggs in alfredo sauces. I know there are eggs in carbonara sauces but alfredo is usually butter and heavy cream. But I would definitely check the back of the label to make sure there aren't egg products in it. You could make your own alfredo from scratch if you like. There are some pretty simple recipes for it online. I hope that helps!
- August 26, 2012 at 6:49 PM
Hi, I was just wondering if this would freeze well? I have made it once before and it was a hit with my family!! Delicious!
- September 3, 2012 at 12:31 PM
Wow! I think this will become family favorite, it just came out of the oven and it took some willpower to let it cool. It is delicious and I think I may need seconds. Thank you.

I'm sure you know this but the dish freezes very well. I cook the hamburger and ziti and assemble it. Once it's cooled I freeze it. Then when I want to cook it I pull it from the freezer the day before. It works great and there is one batch going in the freezer today!

Can I use classic Alfredo sauce instead of garlic Parmesan? I accidentally bought the wrong one.
- January 6, 2013 at 1:55 AM
- The Country Cook said...
Yes, you can use the classic Alfredo :)
- January 6, 2013 at 1:54 PM
I made this over the break and picky husband who says he does not like pasta loved it. I exchanged sausage for the ground beef and mixed a beaten egg with the alfredo sauce only because I had read somewhere to do that when making baked pasta. This is the perfect funeral food dish, so the ingredients are on my shopping list to have on hand when necessary. Thanks so much.
- January 7, 2013 at 2:12 PM
Thank you so much!!! I love how you take a picture of the ingredients and step by step of the process!! I'm such a visual person and this rocks! I am 28 and LOVE your receipes...finally I feel like I can cook! :P
Please keep the receipes coming!!! - January 12, 2013 at 11:06 AM

I can't wait to try this!! I have a question about the extra can of sauce? If you set it to the side & warm it while the dish is cooking, do you just use it as a topper after the dish is done cooking?.... as you can tell I don't cook much! Lol! Thanks for your help, I will definitely be trying this out this week!
- February 2, 2013 at 12:14 PM
- MizzBee (Brandy) said...
I can't wait to try this! It sounds delish! I have a quick question about the extra can of sauce? Since you set it to the side & warm it while the dish is cooking, do you just use it as a topper when the dish is done?... as you can tell I don't cook a Whole lot! Lol! Thanks for your help! Definitely trying this, this week! Nom!

- The Country Cook said...
It warms my heart reading these comments!! Thank you so much! I'm so happy y'all have had success with this one!! Brandy- yep, I just heat up that second can of sauce and either spoon it right on top of the individual servings. Or if you like, put some on the bottom of the plates & then serve pasta on top :)

This was the best Baked Ziti I ever had! My family absolutely loved it and we had the leftovers a few days later and to me, it was even better, lol. I will definitely be making this for now on, Thank you for a great recipe!
- February 3, 2013 at 10:08 AM
This was a big hit at our house tonite!
Another hit, Brandy....
- February 26, 2013 at 6:48 PM
I am thinking of substituting the ground beef with sweet Italian pork or chicken sausage for more of a spicy taste. Maybe adding sweet onions. This dish sounds delicious. I plan to baked and bring to a potluck dinner happening in a few weeks. Thanks!
- April 17, 2013 at 3:34 PM
I made this last night and was delicious! I love all pasta. I used 1 can of the Hunts sauce (which happens to be my favorite) and a container of homemade sauce my friend made. Her sauce had hot sausage and zucchini in it. Awesome easy dinner to make. I did make it ahead night before. I commute so it was nice to come home and just pop it in the oven. I did keep it in the oven a bit longer as it was in the fridge. Thanks!:)

My granddaughter and I made this for dinner tonight. My Dad actually complimented it (he never, ever says anything nice about food), and my granddaughter put this on the top of her favorite recipes. It uses a lot of pans, but well worth it!

Dear Lord woman! This is my Favorite recipe now. I pretty much always have noodles , meat and sauces so this meal is perfect. Quick for whipping out dinner when i'm tired and don't know what to cook. It is SO good and always gets me compliments, which of course i tell them it was you. ;)
- May 16, 2013 at 4:25 PM
- Brandie S. said...
Awww Shelby - thank you so much for that!! You made my day! I know all about being too exhausted to cook. I am glad to hear this is now a "go-to" recipe for you. Thank you for taking the time to comment!
- May 18, 2013 at 9:06 AM
My husband BEGS for this Baked Ziti! He absolutely loves it. I've tried many of your recipes and they've all been hits! Thanks so much!
Ruth - May 18, 2013 at 1:23 PM
I made this recipe last night after searching for pina colada cakes!! This is really good!! The only substitution was the mozzarella cheese for a 5 cheese Italian blend from Kraft that I just found. Yummy!
and the cake? I made it for the potluck here at work today.
Thanks so much - glad I found this site!!! :) - May 24, 2013 at 11:45 AM
This was delicious, quick, and easy to make. The flavors go well together. This will be a regular in my house. I made the roast chicken today and the butterfinger cake. Can't wait to try it. I try at least one of your recipes a week and have not been dissappointed. I love your website and tell everyone about it. Thanks for the many wonderful recipes!

Going to be making this for dinner tonight and I know it is going to be a hit with my hubby, son and I! Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes!
- August 8, 2013 at 9:38 AM
Great recipe! I made a meatless version, and it turned out great! Next time, I will use the non-garlic alfredo sauce because the garlic taste was a bit strong for my preferences. I will also use a bit more mozz cheese because I am a huge cheese fan. I loved how simple this recipe is to make, and it only took a few ingredients! Thanks for posting!
- November 3, 2013 at 1:40 PM
I'm making this tonight, I'm using garlic spag sauce instead of garlic alfredo sauce...we'll see if it makes a different taste. I'll come back and let you know..looks yummy.
- December 7, 2013 at 5:00 PM
- Mardy Frazier said...
Do you think you could use a different kind of pasta for this recipe? Or does it work best with penne? I wanna make this tonight so bad lol. But the only pasta I have is Radiatori?
- December 17, 2013 at 12:13 PM
Ever since I've found this receipe it has become a favorite to make. I make it meatless. Just made it for dinner last night.

Think this would be good if I added turkey kielbasa? Would I mix it with the red sauce?
- December 18, 2013 at 11:25 PM
Hubby isn't a big fan of pasta but he gave this a thumbs up. I used meatballs instead since that's what I had on hand and I also added a little garlic salt to the sauce. Delicious!
- December 27, 2013 at 9:40 PM
- Donna V said...
- January 2, 2014 at 5:11 PM
I love the idea of mixing both flavors of sauces - delicious! This is the only Alfredo sauce I will use… 1 stick of butter, 1 cream cheese 8 oz, 1 pint of half and half, onion powder, lots of garlic powder, Parmesan cheese ( about one quarter to half a container - Kraft) and Parsley, salt and pepper. Simmer (but not boiling) and wisk until creamy. Will thicken as it cools - 100% better the next day.
- January 2, 2014 at 8:09 PM

Oh, I am making this for supper tonight! It's cold and snowy out and this will be perfect to warm us all up! Love your recipes!
- January 3, 2014 at 11:57 AM
- TXsunlover said...
I make something very similar to this and it is one of our favorites! I put the uncooked penne pasta in the bottom of my baking dish then sprinkle it with Italian sausage that I've already cooked. Then I pour a jar of pasta sauce over that plus a jar of water. Mix it all together, cover it up and bake it for 1/2 hour. Then I uncover it and put Italian-style shredded cheese on top, then bake it uncovered until the cheese melts. YUM!
- January 6, 2014 at 1:14 PM
I have tried this recipe twice! It is already my fast favorite. I love how easy it is, and how gooey it gets with the jar of Alfredo sauce. This is my favorite recipe. It's even better than homemade lasagna.
- January 6, 2014 at 3:09 PM
- Loan Ellis said...
Made this the other night and we loved it! We will definitely be making this again. So easy to make and delicious! Thank you!!
- January 21, 2014 at 4:40 AM
This was super! Adding the alfredo sauce to the pasta and then adding the extra sauce on top really made a difference. Definitely a keeper!
- January 30, 2014 at 4:16 PM
- Gerontologist said...
It looks great Brandie. I always use Delmonte Garlic & Onion in the can as it is the best I have ever eaten.
- February 17, 2014 at 10:35 PM
- Sandra Garth said...
This works for me! Add a glass of red wine and I am a happy camper. The Mr loves lots of pasta sauce so that extra jar of sauce is a must have.
- February 17, 2014 at 10:46 PM
- Renita Miller said...
Came across this recipe yesterday and tried it! OMG it is so good! I think the Alfredo sauce adds a different flavor to it. My son loves it! Thanks
- February 23, 2014 at 1:50 PM
I made this last weekend. It was a big hit in my house. The alfredo just gives the Zita a good flavor and blends with the sauce and cheese.
Delicious! - February 27, 2014 at 12:48 PM
Made this tonight & it was delish! I made my own Alfredo sauce instead of bought & will def be making this dish again!
- March 1, 2014 at 5:48 PM
I made this yesterday. It's wonderful! As you recommended, I used penne pasta. I didn't use the additional/2nd jar of spaghetti sauce. I bought plain (Classico) alfredo sauce, then (as someone here suggested) I added garlic powder to my own taste. I used Francisco Rinaldi with mushrooms spaghetti sauce, and I did add onion. My dear husband panicked when he saw the jar of alfredo sauce. I assured him that he wouldn't really taste this ingredient, once it was mixed in. He took 2nd helping and maybe a 3rd. He said "I didn't expect to like this, but I really do." Thanks, Brandie - It's a keeper!

- Kat Golden said...
We like spicy in our house. So, changed the beef to hot Italian sausage, put it in the food processor (because the hubs and kiddos don't like chunky sauce) and added some additional spices to the sauce...keeper in our house! Made a quick green salad and some garlic bread...there is dinner on a busy Wednesday night!
- April 23, 2014 at 5:38 PM
This is one of the few Pinterest recipes that I make over and over. It's delicious!! Thanks for the great recipe.
- June 17, 2014 at 3:42 PM
I made this last night, only I made it with ground turkey instead of ground beef! It was delicious! I'll definitely make this again soon! It was so easy, and no complaints from the husband or kids! Thanks!
- June 24, 2014 at 3:42 PM
- Christa said...
Thank You so much for this recipe! Just made it tonight and it was sooooo yummy! Nephew had 3 servings! The only thing I did was to add some spices and seasonings to the meat sauce. MMMMMMMM.....

- Julie said...
The addition of the garlic alfredo sauce was GENIUS! I'll be emailing you soon to request permission to use this on my Shrinking On a Budget Meal Plan. I'll need to tweak it a little for my subscribers, but love the concept!
- July 31, 2014 at 8:39 AM
I learned from the first time I made this. Make two at a time; one to eat know and one to freeze for another meal. I used turkey and pork sausage for a flavor twice - yum!
- August 9, 2014 at 6:32 PM
- Lisa said...
I just made the baked ziti tonite for a celebratory supper and it was a HUGE hit. Everyone loved it including me because it was super easy. I have never used the alfredo sauce in this dish before and it made all the difference. Thanks for a great new dish that is very budget friendly and quick.
- September 7, 2014 at 9:05 PM
- Bethany Hobbs said...
I've made this several times now, but have used Italian sausage instead of ground beef. This last time, I added a layer of fresh Bella mushrooms between the noodles and the spaghetti sauce and it was to die for! Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
- September 16, 2014 at 7:30 PM
- All Talk Entertainment said...
I saw this on Pinterest today and baked it. I used ground beef and hot italian sausage and it was a winner. Made some garlic bread and now everyone is resting. Will definitely be doing this again. Very easy to make and didn't take much time. Thanks for sharing.
- October 10, 2014 at 6:08 PM
I wasn't sure about this recipe when I first read it but saw all the great comments and decided to give it a go and was not disappointed!!! This was easy and was loved by my hubby and myself! I will be taking it with me for lunch tomorrow and sharing with my boss. Thank you for all the wonderful recipes and keeping me from doing the same old recipes every week!

- Mary in CA said...
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I've never been a fan of mixing white and red sauces but it looked yummy enough to give it a try. I did modify slightly by only using half the pasta at the bottom with half a jar of alfredo and mixed the rest of the pasta with a can and a half of red with the hamburger.... LOVED IT as did my 18 year old who will be cooking it for her boyfriends family as the first dish she cooks for them.
- November 10, 2014 at 5:28 AM
Made this for Christmas dinner today! It was wonderful! Thanks for the great recipe!

My family loved your recipe. Thanks for all the helpful hints along the way, you made me look good. :)
- January 27, 2015 at 7:15 PM
This was amazing!! I did make a few changes... I used half ground sausage and half ground beef, made my own Alfredo sauce which turned out amazing btw, and instead of using all mozzarella cheese I used some provel as well!!! My husband raved and said he didn't want to quit eating it! And yes the extra sauce is a must! Thanks for a great recipe!!!

1.08 Update release now on steam!
Hi Summoners,BIG PRESEASON FOLLOWUP PATCH. If anyone remembers last year's followup preseason patch (it's only been a year but check out the progress we've made!), we were very conservative with our changes.Not this time.While it's true we've introduced a lot more change in the 2015 preseason than 2014, it's also worth highlighting how many more 'design levers' we have to tune with. That's a fancy way of saying we have the right dials in the game to crank up or down when something appears too strong or too weak - all without having to fully reconstruct the kitchen. We're mixing metaphors, but you get the point.Anyway, the big narrative before we ring in the holiday break and the new year is systems cleanup and last-minute gifts for League's many orphaned champions. Talking about the system changes: while we're happy with how the preseason has progressed, we saw a number of opportunities to address the more egregious problems (snowballing, early to mid game gold flow, jungle balance, Warwick). We know everyone's still getting adjusted to the new preseason, so we'll be watching closely over the next while to see what new Warwicks come bubbling to the surface.Please don't let it be Warwick.

Building on its success from last month, Microsoft has announced that the Xbox One was the number one selling console for November -- ending the PlayStation 4's almost year-long top spot. As Redmond tells it, by way of NPD Group data, its latest console was the best selling in the United States and the United Kingdom for last month. That price cut and killer lineup ofexclusive software undoubtedly factored in pretty heavily there. Console sales overall are up in a few different ways as well. NPD says that hardware unit-sales have increased by three percent over last November when the PS4 and Xbox One launched, and that compared to sales from the first 13 months of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, they're up by 80 percent.
What else? All of the bundles that Microsoft and Sony threw together paid off in a big way. NPD says that game-plus-console packages were a "major factor" in the higher sales numbers, with one unnamed bundle ranking as the best-selling ever based on dollar sales.
We're still likely a ways off from Microsoft announcing exactly how many consoles it's sold to consumers, but, if the numbers continue to move in its favor, that could soon change -- being in panic mode has clearly delivered dividends for the company.
In his 1984 book, Normal Accidents: Living With High Risk-Technologies, Yale professor Charles Perrow defined a normal accident as an unexpected yet inevitable failure that occurs when a given system becomes overly complex. More complexity leads to individual, seemingly unconnected parts of a system, interacting with each other in ways that no one could have foreseen. Perrow argues that even the complexity added by a system's safety features — backup generators, alarms, warning lights, pressure valves, etc. — end up making normal accidents more probable because each of those safeties represents some extraneous moving piece that can itself break down.

Personally I wanted to create this multiverse of games and servers because I too, Get burned out of games. For awhile there I was absolutely exhausted of minecraft! It was literally my life for 3-4 years (maybe more) and I got tired of it. I needed a change, a new game, or hey..maybe even to go see what the outside world was like?. So I am creating this website so that I too, can keep myself continuously involved without having to stick to one game. and the game doesn't really have to be a multiplayer game, For example I LOVE to play Kerbal Space Program.

It doesnt look bad, but I have a feeling this will be the first major flop of 2013
Apple Trailers has released a new trailer for Jack the Giant Slayer. The cast features Nicholas Hoult, Eleanor Tomlinson, Stanley Tucci, Ian McShane, Bill Nighy, and Ewan McGregor. The film is directed by Bryan Singer (X-Men and Superman Returns).
Jack the Giant Slayer arrives March 1st, 2013.
It doesnt look bad, but I have a feeling this will be the first major flop of 2013
I agree Tevii, I'll probably be seeing this one when its out on DVD. It for sure looks interesting though, but not worth a $9 ticket.
Well it is Singer directing.
Nicolas Hoult has this weird size cranium. He really doesn't have the leading man looks. Sort of like a male version of Maggie Gyllenhall.
The saving grace of this movie is probably Obiwan....I mean mcGregor. Because some of these situations remind me of the trio of Anakin/Padme/Obiwan.
This is a much, much better trailer than the one released at the beginning of the year. That one didn't look like something I would want to see but this one has my interest.
lazarus is that why you clicked on the link?
More humor than I expected. I thought Singer was going to play it straight but I'm in. It looks like it should be a fun time at the very least
So March 2013 begins with this and ends with G.I. Joe: Retalliation. Couldn't they have pushed back the Red Dawn remake and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters again to March and truly made it a dumping ground?

Raytheon's robotic exoskeleton delivers super-human qualities
May 6, 2008 The advent of the robotic age is upon us and we can expect a huge transformation in the coming decade as robots of all shapes and sizes make their presence felt in many aspects of our lives. But robots wont just stand by our side as assistants, we'll actually climb aboard and wear them like a shell or suit of armor. This type of robot - known as an exoskeleton - is being developed in various guises that deliver extraordinary strength and endurance to the wearer and have the potential to impact on military, medical, industrial and transport arenas - anywhere that personal mobility, agility and strength is required. Raytheon's progress in the field is making headline news this week thanks in part to an intriguing article appearing in the May issue of Popular Science which makes the link between the company's ongoing research for the U.S. military and the release of the much hyped superhero flick Ironman(R).
