|Second pair of these.
|I have a problem with the boots. I have had two walks in them and have a wide foot. I find the width in the front of the boot insufficient. After my second use, even with good socks my feet bleed and I have had to tape them for my other shoes and cease using the boots. Is a return or credit possible?
|Fabulous product and price.

The "Legally Blonde" movies have been recreated as stage shows.
- Filed Under
The musical Legally Blonde was recently performed at the Canandaigua Academy. Should a school stage production contain materials that require a student to act out situations that are contrary to their moral and spiritual upbringing? The school district labeled the musical, "Parental Guidance Suggested: Mature Subject Matter," so families had to decide whether or not to leave younger siblings at home.
As stated in a district publication recently mailed to families, the school's mission is, "to maximize the educational success and character development of all students ?" This musical ...

It's great that you want to be a kind, supportive manager, but a key part of your job is setting expectations and holding people accountable to them, and that sounds like the piece that might be missing here.
Question 2: Is it presumptuous to ask for an office?
I manage 5 people. Currently, there are four other managers (only two actually have reports like me) and we all sit among everyone else in cubes. My boss has talked with me before about her desire to have people see me as someone with more authority — specifically someone who can be her right hand. I also find it difficult to get things done because I'm constantly distracted by people asking me questions, and I always have to go to conference rooms anytime I need to have a conversation with someone that others shouldn't hear.
I've been in this position for almost three years and would at least like to know if this is ever going to be a possibility. But I don't want my boss to view my request as presumptuous.
It's not presumptuous to ask for something to help you do your job better, and this qualifies.
Explain that you have a need for privacy when having conversations others shouldn't hear, like talking about performance issues, giving developmental feedback, or anything else that might be sensitive (like a conversation about accommodating a medical issue), and ask if it would be possible to have a more private space, ideally an office.
If it's not possible, then so be it, but it's entirely reasonable to ask (and in general, it's crazy to try to manage five people out in the open like that).

186 Visa – 3 things you must know about 186 Visa
ENS | Direct Entry Stream | Transition Stream
What is a 186 Visa?
Also known as an "ENS Visa", "employer nomination visa", "employer nomination scheme visa", "856", "subclass 186″ or simply "ENS", a 186 visa allows skilled workers to be sponsored by their employers for permanent residence in Australia.
The 186 visa replaces the 856 visa class. It comprises of two separate approvals:
- Employer Nomination
- Visa Application
How do I get a 186 visa?
Find an employer who is willing to sponsor you for work in Australia with a 186 visa.
You must be nominated in an eligible occupation and paid a market rate – other rules do apply.
Under the 186 visa an employer should be willing to give you employment for a three-year period.
How much does a Visa cost?
A 186 visa attracts a fee upon lodgement of the application with the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP).
A schedule of fees and charges applicable to applications lodged at the DIBP is published regularly.
DIBP fees for onshore applications are approximately $4000. Additional fees apply for the RCB certification and the DIBP approval.
If you use an Immigration Advisor or Registered Australian Migration Agent, additional fees are payable to Immigration Advisor and Agents. The amount of the fee will depend on the skill level of the Immigration Law Specialist, complexity of the applications, and the urgency of the application.
At our visa consultations, we'll help you to:
- Identify the most appropriate immigration application you need to make;
- Select the best occupation for getting your ENS application and 186 visa approved; and
- Prepare for and lodge your next ENS application and 186 visa application faster.
Call us today to get started with an obligation-free, money-back guaranteed, confidential discussion with MyVisa® – leading 186 visa advisors and migration agents in Australia (Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth) and overseas (Singapore, Fiji and Vilnius)

NEWPORT, Tenn. (WVLT) - The Cocke County football team has not had much success in recent years. In fact their last winning season came in 1996. But this year, the Fighting Cocks are off to a 4-2 start.
A big part of that has to do with an offense that is scoring over 34 points a game, which is over their original goal for the season says coach Greg Hacker, "Our goal when the year began was 27 points a game. We are 7 points over that now."
The team has rallied around the new motto for the season, "Finish." Coach Hacker brought it with him from college, and the team has completely embraced it.
The wins have also brought with them a new air of excitement in Newport for Cocke County football. Senior Linebacker Darren France states, "People I have never seen before come up and say nice job. It's just different now. Things are happening for us."
Depending on how the season finishes, the Fighting Cocks could host a playoff game. That is something that no one has discussed in those parts in a while.

"Back garden is the beach!"
Having stayed in several self catering properties over the years, this is the one we return to, Why well it had absolutely everything to offer, firstly the location this has to be one of the best in North Cornwall when I say "on the beach" it actually was a stroll from the patio onto the garden then right over onto the beach, with no road or path in between. Living in a city for the rest of the year to wake up in the morning and look right out to the Ocean was just spectacular in every sense, it was like being in the Mediterrarian. The children loved it as we did too. Furnishings in the property were of first class and loved the idea of seperate wine cooler fridge as well as all other modern appliances. Extremely spacious and comfortable for all us. Our only regret is that we should have booked for 2 weeks instead of the one, as there is so much to do, still there is always next Year!

"Perfect location for kids and true relaxation"
Apartment is lovely, well furnished, comfortable beds and excellent bathrooms with powerful showers. Photos don't do this place justice, it is very spacious. Lift down 2 floors from car park level to apartment/beach level. Open plan living area leads onto patio area which overlooks shared garden (3 other ground floor apartments and some 1st/2nd floor). Garden leads directly to beach, nice beach with plenty of soft sand and heaps of harder sand when tide goes out. Great rock pools. Nearby Watergate bay is stunning as are other nearby beaches. Some are walkable via nearby coast path.
Only minor gripes were lack of clean washing up tools (sponges etc), only one dishwasher tablet/toilet roll, not thoroughly cleaned eg rugs, around couches etc. Although for the price I would expect not to have to be concerned with these things, overall I would highly recommend the apartment.

"Five star accomadation and a fabulous setting by the beach"
Fly into The local airport,Newquay,10 mins drive away.Or catch local bus ,as it can drop you off outside the door of this wonderful apartment.The kitchen seems to have most things.Tv's in all bedrooms.Always nice and warm.Again use the bus to go to Padstow,when there, catch the boat across to Rock,lovley walks and eateries.
this is a wonderful holiday location.
The beach is one of the finest.The sand is very fine and pure.The sea is great to swim in,so clean.You will not be disappointed.
Try the coastal walk to Watergate,the next bay,where Jamie Oliver has 1st class restaurant.or you can have surf lesson.

"A perfect place for a family to relax together where every need is catered for. loved it!"
my self and my family stayed in this apartment in august, our children are 9, 5 and 3. from the moment i contacted nigel regarding our booking he was more than helpful. we had a bit of a problem with our ferry booking and nigel was patient and assisted us in every way possible. the apartment itself is like a home from home (but nicer)! we were so comfortable there that we just didnt want to go anywhere during the day and neither did the children, they enjoyed playing games in the lovely garden where i could relax in the knowledge that they were completely safe. for me eating my meals sitting looking out at the beautiful beach while the children played happily was so relaxing, in the evening the children would go inside to watch a dvd either in the main living area or their bedroom my husband and i would sit outside with a bottle of wine and listen to the sea. bliss. cant wait to go back. the mermaid bar next door on the beach do lovely food and they will prepare it for takeaway if you want to eat it in the comfort of the apartment which is what we did.

What is nestCON? nestCON is the premier Silicon Valley showcase for introducing "best of breed" emerging technology companies. nestCON occurs on a quarterly basis, and each one has a unique, industry-specific focus that informs the conference. The agenda rotates between keynote speeches, panels and pitch sessions. The pitch sessions feature pre-qualified companies presenting in front of venture capital and industry expert panelists, followed by the opportunity for deeper conversation during networking sessions. The keynote speakers, who are industry leaders within their respective fields, provide thought leadership pertaining to the chosen nestCON theme. These conferences bring together Silicon Valley executives, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, angel investors and multiple media channels and promote networking in a highly interactive, intimate and relaxed environment.
nestGSV sits at the intersection of two Americas -- startup and corporate America. Recognizing that both parties' inventiveness can be expounded through cross-collaboration, nestCON serves as a conduit between corporate and startup entities, enabling the exchange of ideas and connecting instigators.
We offer a 72,000 square foot campus at the epicenter of Silicon Valley, along with diverse programs to help innovators thrive. We specialize in startup relationships, corporate partnerships, education, accelerator programs, hackathons, ideathons, and industry networking.

Butter Lettuce Wedge Salad with Creamy Peppercorn Dressing + Cookbook Giveaway
What a weekend, guys! Rob always complains the May long weekend is fraught with rain but this year, the rain was pushed away by all the sun. (We even managed to dry some clothes outside!)
It was a glorious long weekend and it was nice that my body was as eager to move around too. Rob and I spent a lot of time visiting family and friends, and the majority were stopping by our friends unannounced simply because we were in the neighbourhood. The stars were aligned because someone was always home for our impromptu visits. Score!
I finally have my cooking mojo back although my blogging mojo is still lagging behind. With the nice weather, I am drawn more to walking in my 'hood instead of sitting in front of my computer. One thing that has helped to get me cooking again is the multitude of fabulous vegan cookbooks hitting the shelves. One of them is Annie Oliverio's new cookbook, Crave, Eat, Heal. You have probably met Annie through her blog at An Unrefined Vegan where we she shares plant-based recipes without refined ingredients. Her cookbook has the same philosophy and aims to show that there should be no deprivation. All of your cravings are answered.
Annie's cookbook is broken down into 13 chapters, each focusing on a different craving: carbs, chocolate, comfort, cool, creamy, crunchy, green, junk, salty, spicy, sweet, tart and warm. I am used to the traditional setup of cookbooks organized by course or season, but this was unique. Oftentimes, I do have cravings for something with chocolate, or something crunchy, and this would be a different way to find something satisfying to eat. With this warm weather, of course, I ventured into the "cool" cravings. There were coolers, smoothies and popsicles. Even a sweet potato pie and apple pie spice ice cream that looked phenomenal (and totally happening next weekend). But I decided I needed something a little more substantial and dove into the butter wedge salad.
After my surgery, I was on a liquid diet for nearly a week and when I finally improved, all I wanted was to bite into something. Here I was biting and actually cutting into my meal. It has been a long time since I actually used a knife and a fork for a meal, and of all things, it was to cut my wedge of lettuce.
Perhaps Annie missed out on potential "cut into your meal" cravings, because I could understand missing this not-so-fun meal normalcy. In any case, the knife and fork allowed me to experience every part of the salad with each bite: crisp lettuce, subtly sweet/soft pear, salty/meaty tempeh bacon, creamy avocado and a creamy/cool sunflower peppercorn dressing. I used a peppercorn dressing base which made for a very intense dressing but it was well balanced with the remainder of the salad.

Smoky Tofu and Pomegranate Arugula Salad
With less interest in writing on my blog, I wonder whether it has become boring. Have I reached a point where things are so similar they are not worth sharing? With a new set of colleagues since moving back to Toronto, I receive curious questions about what I eat, so even the most humble meals may still be blog-worthy. However, in this case, I dare you to tell me you've tried something like this. Sweet and tart pomegranate arils. Smoky onion tofu bits. Crisp and cooling cucumber on a bed of baby arugula drizzled with an apple-infused creamy dressing.
I was inspired by a sandwich in Vegan Sandwiches Save the Day! but opted for a salad version instead. A winter salad which will propel us into the springtime salads. Those plants will be growing soon enough, right? They are covered by a foot of snow, but I hope it is only melting form here on out. In all honesty, Rob and I are winding down in the kitchen, working on last minute details before the wedding. Can you believe it was 2 weeks before my wedding before I thought to ask my Dad to walk me down the aisle? Oh dear, eh? (He said YES! hahaha)
What kind of unusual combinations have you cobbled together in a salad?
I am sharing this with No Croutons Required and Souper Sundays. (more…)
Simple Lentil Chilaquiles
When I said our meals have become more simple, this is probably not what you had in mind. I had not planned on sharing this either, but the meal was delicious and I scooped together the little bits left unclaimed and snapped photos to share. I loved the meal, I loved these photos, and had to share.
In an honesty, Rob is a great cook. I merely helped to assemble the ingredients. Rob was making an off-the-cuff version of our tofu migas but as we ate it, we thought it reminded us of the chilaquiles we would devour from Radical Eats in Houston. Minus the deep-fried tortillas. Eerily enough, Erica shared her baked version of chilaquiles (recipe here with black beans and kale), which I read afterwards. Great minds think alike! We opted not to make it sopping in a tomato-broth, as we used sun-dried tomatoes to help keep the chips crispy.
In any case, while these were simple to make, it brought together a few components we already had. Namely, we made JL's Lentil TVP Taco Filling earlier in the week (I changed the spices slightly) as our ground meat substitute. My cousin also gifted us some homemade tomatillo salsa. It was quite spicy but worked well when mixed directly with the other ingredients.
In short, we started by using almost stale corn tortilla chips by baking them in the oven. Rob sauteed some sweet onions (reserving some for the topping) and sprinkled them with garlic granules (too lazy to pull the real garlic from the fridge). Next, he added the Lentil-TVP taco filling, heating it up. Because we were out of plain tofu, he added 4 eggs along with some soy milk and the tomatillo salsa, scrambling all the ingredients together. Once fully cooked, he stirred in the baked tortilla chips, heating all the way through. A sprinkle of fresh lime juice and a side of tomato salsa solidified this as a perfect New Year's Day brunch.
I am not sure if quasi-recipes like this help you. What do you think?

Roasted Cauliflower and Leek Soup with Vegan Bacon Chickpea Croutons
I love when it is going to be a delicious week.
I am too lazy/tired to cook during the week, so I make everything on the weekend. A new batch of oatmeal. I create 3-4 different dishes, with possibly some fresh rice mid-week. Rob helps with the rice. His rice always seems to taste better even if we use the same rice cooker.
Anyways. I digress.
I love delicious surprises in the kitchen.
I was wooed by Tess' creamy cauliflower soup in her latest cookbook. However, I knew cauliflower and leeks, alone, would not be a filling meal. Beans. I need some beans. Where are the beans? I could have easily blended white beans into the soup, but I don't like pureed soups.
Keeping things a bit more texturally complex, I ran with bacon-flavoured roasted chickpea croutons! Because I was going to use the oven to roast my chickpeas, I roasted my vegetables, too. It helped to free up a coveted soup pot and oven burner, too.
I guess I get surprised by some of my successes. Light and fluffy yet still filling, the soup was as easy as blending together roasted vegetables with some spices. The bacon chickpeas added a salty-savoury topping that contrasted the soup wonderfully.
And somewhat off-topic. Not soup-related, but related by all things delicious. You know what else we recently discovered that was glorious? Trader Joe's Soy Creamy Cherry Chocolate Ice Cream. GAH! Annie clued me in early on that their coconut-based ice creams were delicious and they helped tame the Texan heat in the summer. Now that we're cycling in the heat, this has become our new way to cool off.
What have you been enjoying lately?

Vegan Cheesy Chickpea Dip with Coconut Bacon
I tried a little bit harder with this dip.
You had great suggestions for sprucing up my Mexican Black Bean Dip. It was all about the garnishes: salsa, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, and tortillas were all great ideas.
This time I topped the dip with coconut bacon. (I will tell you about the delicious dip in a moment, but first: COCONUT BACON). This was not my first encounter with coconut bacon. I have tried it in many different iterations: lovingly inside a BLT at Aux Vivres, as a snack I brought to Burning Man courtesy of Phoney Baloney, and even a slippery, thick raw coconut bacon made from fresh coconut inside The Naked Sprout's BLT.
While I have made raw eggplant bacon before, coconut bacon had been on my hitlist for awhile. I even captured a picture of their ingredient list when I was at Aux Vivres. Definitely one of the benefits of them selling items to go. However, instead of using their ingredient list, I ran with Julie's recommendation to add smoked paprika to the recipes floating around the web. It worked for the raw eggplant bacon so I was quickly sold on her smoked paprika pitch. It did not disappoint and I liked it better than anything else I had tried. The fact that it made so much is great because we are going to enjoy this for awhile.
But don't let me distract you from this dip. A cheesy chickpea spread with smoky undertones, it was a fun salty snack I served at our tamalada. We had some delicious chips that needed a dip and this was a great choice. Everyone approved and Rob is adamant about bringing it back into our dip repertoire. I won't stop him.. and to give him due credit, I only crafted the recipes, Rob executed them with finesse… and then I cobbled together some photographs. :)
With the Superbowl, Academy Awards and the Olympics on the horizon, this may be the dip-friendly part of the year. If you would like other delicious dips, consider these, too:
Green Velvet Guacamole (aka Guacamame or Edamame Guacamole)
Ginger Lime Wasabi Edamame Hummus

Brazilian Black Bean Soup with Plantain Chips & Cookbook Giveaway!
Thanksgiving is over. December is here.
It is all about the holidays now, no?
Well, you know me, I kind of beat to the tune of my own drum. My forthcoming recipes may not necessarily be holiday-driven, but they will definitely be highly recommended. For yourself and others. And if that is not holiday-themed, I do not know what is.
This is a black bean soup I shared with my parents while they were in town. I had some lofty meals planned, but ended up working late and being on call, so things did not work as originally scheduled. I turned to this soup from The 30 Minute Vegan's latest cookbook: Soup's On! This is my favourite book of his so far, possibly because I love soups.
Mark's latest book proves that complex soups do not need to take hours over the stove. With tricks like foregoing a slow saute for onions and prepping your vegetables as you cook your soup, a proficient cook should be able to make most of these soups quickly. Separated into chapters for basic broths, vegetable-dominant soups, heartier soups with whole grains, legumes and pasta, creamy blended soups, raw soups and desserts soups (plus garnishes and sides), this a comprehensive vegan soup compendium. His recipes highlight whole foods: vegetables, beans, whole grains, nuts and flavourful herbs. In addition to being entirely vegan, this cookbook caters to many special requests: no/low-oil, gluten-free (almost all), and mostly soy-free, too, and every recipe has variations to help you craft your best brew.
This black bean soup was no exception: lots of colourful vegetables superimposed on top of jet black black beans (Rancho Gordo's Negro de Arbol beans). Bell pepper, carrots and corn with a dash of orange juice, cloves and liquid smoke for a Brazilian flare. The original soup was no-oil, but I opted for the oil-sautéed onion variation. I made the soup first and waited until dinnertime to make the plantain chips. The nuances of the maple-orange-cinnamon marinade for the baked plantain chips may have been lost on us, though. They also took twice as long to bake, but after Hannah's recent gush of love for oven-baked plantain chips, I figured they may take longer.
With the plantain chips (unpictured), this would have been a stretch for a 30-minute meal, but it was quick. And the soup was delicious. Mark said it would serve 6-8, but the four of us devoured it in one sitting. (Sadly no leftovers for me). I was actually impressed that my Dad thought I had served this to him before. I assured him that this was a new recipe but two years ago, yes, I shared a (different) Brazilian soup with him. It was more stew-like with sweet potato and kale amidst the vegetable choice. I think I liked this one more. RG's black beans were a hit: a bit smaller than your typical black bean while keeping their shape nicely.
I have been easily cooking my way through this delicious cookbook and can also recommend the Jamaican Jerk Plantain Soup, Holy Moley Soup, Himalayan Dal with Curried Chickpeas, Fire-Roasted Tomato and Rice Soup with Spinach, and Polish Vegan Sausage and Sauerkraut Stew. There are plenty more I will be trying out later.
I really want to share this cookbook with you and thankfully the publisher is letting me give a cookbook to one reader living in the United States. To be entered, please leave a comment here, telling me about your favourite recipe by The 30 Minute Vegan. If you haven't made anything by Mark yet, have a look through the table of contents of The 30 Minute Vegan Soup's On! on amazon (or my list above or below) and tell me what you want to cook the most. I will randomly select a winner on December 20, 2013. Good luck!

Southern Beans and Greens Saute (& The Last Organic Outpost urban farm visit)
It took me a while to realize it, but Houston's claim to fame is not its hot summer. It may be infamous for its stifling, humid summers, but that's not when the most fun occur. For people, nor plants.
I love it when readers help me learn the ropes of my new town. It took me a while to wrap my head around it, but it is just too hot for most vegetables to grow. Coming from Ontario, summer equals fresh vegetables. Right now, we are between seasons in Texas. I will quit lamenting the lack of flavourful tomatoes (for now), the local vegetables will be coming in the fall and spring. Despite being between seasons, vegetables can still be grown, though. Recently I visited an urban farm and loved it so much, I wanted to share the experience with you.
The Last Organic Outpost is an urban, community farm. We weren't sure what to expect, as this farm is close to where we live. Truly a hidden gem, they encourage the community to become involved in creating their own farming experience and ultimately to sell enough to become self-driven.
It is completely volunteer-run, except for one farmer they employ. They minimize costs by recycling unwanted goods. Donated hot tubs will be turned into planters. Cars have been turned into vermicomposters, bee havens, etc.
Of course, they also grow vegetables. Despite being between seasons, they were growing greens (collards, dinosaur kale, spinach — all grown year-round), herbs, sweet peppers, eggplant, winter squash as well as figs and papayas. The somewhat chaotic plants reminded me of my small garden in Toronto.
At first I thought it was just a big plant with pretty flowers, but they also had different kinds of okra. Small, long and purple varieties. I had never tried just picked okra and it was refreshingly crisp.
Talk about freshly picked, they had produce for sale as well as special sampler bags which is what we purchased (it included kale, spinach, eggplant and butternut squash). Because it is volunteer-driven, their hours are variable but keep an eye on their facebook page if you want to become more involved.
Have no fear, there is still a delicious recipe attached to this post. When in the South, why not try their local specialties, too? Although traditional beans and greens in the South usually use collards, black eyed peas and ham/bacon, this one was a nice twist. I honesty wasn't expecting much, but was blown away by the flavour. A quality liquid smoke definitely brings this dish to the next level. Have you ever looked at the ingredient lists of the liquid smokes at the store? I thought we could omit it from our Houston pantry, but caved. Once we started looking, though, there were a lot of additives to most liquid smoke "seasonings". The one we settled on just has water, hickory smoke, mesquite smoke as its ingredients and I really like it. It also won this taste test. :)
Anyways, this is a simple skillet saute with carrots, (pinto) beans and (kale) greens. I used a melange of spices for my vegetable stock substitute and I think it worked really well with the liquid smoke. Easy, peasy.. and delicious.
I am looking forward to coming back to The Last Organic Outpost once the growing season resumes. :)

Cabbage and Asian Pear Salad with Smoky Avocado and Cumin Dressing
Guys, I am loving your list of your favourite raw recipes. It isn't too late to win a copy of Annelie's Raw Food Power. To enter, just leave a comment here telling me about your favourite raw meal. Definitely include a link to a recipe if it is online, like Gabby's Raw "Baked" Fettuccine Alfredo, Genevieve's Mango Gazpacho or Hannah's Raw Blondies with Chocolate Ganache. I really liked Ellen's suggest of a Korean collard wrap with Asian pear and sweet chili sauce. Sounds delicious! I ended up hunting down some Asian pear, napa cabbage and collards but at the last minute, as the winds warmed me with the southern breeze (this was right before it snowed yesterday), I changed my mind. Instead of a wrap, I went with a chopped salad. And instead of Korean and I went Mexican with a smoky avocado and cumin dressing.
When asked what I usually eat, I explain to people that I love to make soups and salads. Not your flaky salads and not your brothy soups, I prefer hearty one-pot meals in a bowl. My salads tend to be either grain-based or bean-based, whereas I don't make the standard leafy side salad with a simple vinaigrette. I suppose I don't find it very high-yield. If I want leafy greens, I'll add them to my soup or salad!
Not all dressings are created equal, and this smoky avocado dressing is creamy but intense at the same time. It wouldn't work with flimsy baby greens, which is why I opted for heartier sliced Napa cabbage and collard greens. To counter the heaviness of the dressing, I added a touch of sweetness to the salad with Asian pear and red bell pepper. To add even more goodness, I added some arugula sprouts and to add a good protein source I added chickpeas [sprouted chickpeas keeps this raw, but cooked chickpeas are what I prefer]. With the dressing thinned out over the salad, it was a nice merriment of flavours and textures, although a tad heavy on cumin (even for me).
OK, next up: working on that Korean wrap. :)

Smoky One Pot Beans and Bulgur with Kale
This year, I have traded my cookbooks for textbooks.
One of the textbooks I need to know like the back of my hand can be a tad dry. All 1464 pages. I can only read about molecular pathways or the causes of cardiomyopathy for so long before I need a break.
But then, as I was reading the nutrition chapter, I swear, this is what it said (I quote):
Even lowly garlic has been touted to protect against heart disease (and also against, devils, werewolves, vampires, and, alas, kisses), although research has yet to prove this effect unequivocally. Of these, the effect on kisses is the best established!
I wonder whether I can bring up devils, werewolves and vampires on my oral exam for full marks? Or just kisses since they have more evidence against them? They didn't cite their source, though…
Thank goodness, my love of garlic hasn't kept away kisses from Rob.
My love of garlic has a long history. My love of raw garlic began with Tess. My love of Rob fits in between these two.. In length, but surpasses them all by quantity and quality, of course. ;)
Raw garlic isn't as scary as it seems. Chili lime noodles, 15-minute zippy garlic-basil marinara, lemon asparagus quinoa toss, and many other dishes that add garlic at the end of cooking instead of at the beginning. It adds a brightness to any dish.
This is another garlicky dish from Tess. A quickie dish that I can make after work. Easily modifiable to your pantry surpluses. Tess uses rice and beans, but bulgur and cooked beans make this an even simpler dish. It has been a while since I've gushed over bulgur, but sometimes I forget until I unearth it again from my pantry. Smokey from liquid smoke, creamy from a touch of oil, snappy with some nearly raw garlic and wholesome with some shredded greens. Beans + grains + greens, a force to be reckoned with.
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays and to this month's My Legume Love Affair, now hosted by Lisa.
TVP Sloppy Joes Stuffed Roasted Sweet Potatoes
One of the things I liked about Vegan For Life is that there are recommendations supported by science. Two servings of fruit are good and just 2 tsp of oil a day is a good idea. And that whacky TVP? It isn't as scary as you may think. It may be a processed soy product, but it is basically defatted soy flour that is high in protein. A varied diet is more important. Everything in moderation is ok.
This may or may not have given me the nudge to use up the last of my TVP that had been languishing in my pantry. I bought it planning to make Cara's Pumpkin Gingerbread Protein Bars, and then bookmarked Laura's Squash Breakfast TVP and Maple TVP Oatmeal but happy I eventually settled on making these TVP Sloppy Joes.
Not that I grew up eating Sloppy Joe's. I don't think I have ever eaten the real thing, but I know this tasted good. A sweet tomato sauce accentuated with Worcestershire sauce, mustard and liquid smoke. A bit sweet for me with the added sweetener, so I suggest not adding it until the end to see if it needs it. The TVP confers a granular hamburger meat texture. I am thinking mashed lentils could be a good substitute next time.
Instead of the standard bun, I piled the sloppiness overtop a roasted baked potato. Paired wonderfully.
What do you think of TVP?
Here are my other meals with TVP:
Pumpkin Chili
Brazilian Black Bean Stew with Portobello Mushrooms (Portobello Feijoada)
Beefy Portobello Mushroom and Cranberry Stew

Raw Vegan Smoked Salmon and Scallion Cashew Cheese Cucumber Rolls (Aux Vivres Végé-Lox)
I wasn't going to join in…
But then I saw this article co-authored by one of my former classmates debunking Dr Oz. I may have done a little cheer and a happy dance. I couldn't keep quiet. Please read it and tell me what you think.
It seems like the new year ushers in the applause for "healthy" fasts and diets. I condone a balanced diet but not starvation. I don't believe in miracle foods. While I tried a sweetener-free challenge last month, I am back to eating fruits and chocolate. Fruits are filled with vitamins, anti-oxidants and fiber and too good to pass up.
I am certainly not doing a juice cleanse. I was gifted my grandmother's juicer, but have only made juice a handful of times so far. I juice because I like the taste of fresh juice. Proponents of juice cleanses focus on the increased consumption of vegetables (more than one could eat in their raw form), lack of fibre and a way to detox your body and lose weight. If you are not one to eat vegetables and enjoy juice, then yes, this could be a way to consume more nutrients found in vegetables but it does not replace eating whole vegetables. If you are healthy, there is no evidence that your liver, kidney or stomach needs a rest to assist removal of toxins. The higher glycemic index of juice (without fibre) may actually cause one to gain weight.
There is evidence, though, that vegan diets (moreso than vegetarian diets) protect against cancer. A study in BMJ from earlier this summer suggests that low carb/high protein diets are associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events, mainly exacerbated by those consuming animal protein. I recently added a link to Vegan Health on my side bar which has a lot of good information about nutrition advice for vegans, including supplementation (gotta get the vitamin B12), especially if consuming a raw food diet.
In any case, for those of you with a leftover juice pulp otherwise destined for the compost, or those with an excess of carrots, or those who rave about Aux Vivres' raw smoked salmon, this dish is for you.
My last visit to Montreal had me visiting the vegan restaurant for a second time. I have recreated their delicious Macro Bowl with tempeh, greens and a miso-tahini sauce, but also wanted to recreate their raw smoked salmon, or végé-lox as they call it. Made with carrot pulp and seasoned with red onion, parsley, dulse and liquid smoke, it is a delicious spread combined with their tofu cream cheese and capers. I used shallots and dill and added capers directly into the spread for a different twist. Instead of tofu, I went all raw with a scallion cashew cheese rolled into a light cucumber roll.
If you want something more sweet for your carrot juice pulp, I highly recommend these raw carrot cupcakes. What is your take on juice fasts? On miracle weight-loss products?
Any favourite recipes for juice pulp?

BLT Corn Pinto Bean Salad with Raw Eggplant Bacon
After I ate the last serving of this salad, I was sad. Sad I had no more salad left. It was that good.
Rob cocked his head and asked, So is this a repeater recipe?
But we have no more corn! And no more spinach or lettuce! And I think my Appaloosa beans are finished, too.
That can easily be remedied, Janet.
Besides, I just bought 53 lbs of tomatoes (yes, I did it!)
I think I should focus on those!
So this one will just go down in the vault as a wickedly delicious salad. And contrary to my sorry excuses, this is a very forgiving salad. Use your favourite salad toppers. Just don't skip on the tomatoes. And the dressing.
This salad all began with the creation of the raw eggplant bacon. I picked up a super cheap monster eggplant and earmarked it for the dehydrator. The salty and sweet marinade (tamari, maple syrup, vinegar, chili powder, smoked paprika and liquid smoke) was delicious and I couldn't wait for them to dry out. Twelve hours felt like a life-time. I was blown away by the texture of the eggplant, airy yet crispy but sadly, with a fraction of the flavour from the salivating marinade. Since I used low-sodium tamari there wasn't the uber saltiness associated with bacon but it was pretty nice, regardless. Does it taste like bacon? Not at all, but I don't consider that a bad thing. ;)
I also used some of the extra marinade to make zucchini chips. Since I sliced them cross-wise, they looked like chips and tasted like bacon chips, too. However, those went into my belly. The eggplant bacon went into this salad. (For the record, I prefer the eggplant version!)
Obviously, this salad pushes monumental levels when you use fresh, ripe ingredients. Fresh heirloom tomatoes, check. Local, fresh corn on the cob, check. Cute heirloom pinto beans, I've got that covered. Your greenery of choice (or whatever is in your fridge): baby spinach. I added oomph to the original dressing by mirroring the bacon marinade, throwing in smoked paprika and chili powder. Lime juice makes this a bright dressing. And while I was worried I wouldn't have enough dressing with only the juice from 2 non-juicy limes, after I placed everything in jars for the week, the tomatoes macerated, adding tomato juicy goodness to the dressing, too. Now it was perfect.
For another variation on the corn + tomato + bean salad, try this one with a balsamic dressing, toasted in a skillet.

Roasted Golden Beet Salad With Warm Maple Mustard Dressing and Smoky Tempeh Croutons
I know I've briefly mentioned it before, but I tend to do the majority of my cooking on the weekends and eat leftovers all week. Vegan cuisine, especially soups, curries and bean salads, lend well to leftovers because they only taste better after they have marinaded.
Sometimes I crave a nice, fresh hot meal, too. It can be difficult to make a complete meal if you are famished after a long day at work…. unless, you have the forethought of making all the components ahead of time!
I found this delicious salad at Post Punk Kitchen. I know it looks like another crazy multi–component salad: roasted beets, smoky tempeh croutons, a warm maple mustard dressing. Trust me, the best dishes get you to bring out the best of each component. Work on the weekend for each component, then bring it all together mid-week.
First, you need to roast your beets. Glorious roasted golden beets. Next, steam your tempeh, then get it marinading. Tempeh has a bad leftover track-record, which is why I planned on making this salad fresh during the week. I left the tempeh in the marinade until I took out a portion to freshly panfry for the salad. For my last salad, the tempeh had been marinading for 5 days. The maple mustard dressing is a snap to put together as well.
So, when you come home from work, and it is late, and you don't want to think, now you have all the components for a wonderful salad. Take out your nonstick frypan and fry your tempeh. Meanwhile, get out your beets. Toss them into the frypan with the tempeh if you'd like (or not). Pull out your greens and get chopping. Using Swiss chard or kale instead of Romaine? Finely chop the stems and throw it in with the tempeh, too (or not). Warm the dressing in the microwave (or not). Add to your leafy greens. Add your beets if they aren't in your frypan. By this time, the tempeh should be almost done…. when it is, plop it on top of your greens.
Ten minutes, tops. I promise.
Sit back and enjoy your fresh salad.. every day of the week. :)

Iraqi-Inspired Eggplant and Seitan Stew
Returning from vacation the day before you return to work is not a good idea. Jet-lag was one reason it took me so long to get back into the groove after returning from Iceland.
Thankfully, I was forward-thinking and froze a bunch of meals before we left. I had dal bhat waiting for me upon my return as well as this delicious Iraqi-Inspired Eggplant and Seitan Stew from Susan at Fat Free Vegan.
Just like dal bhat, this was a savoury, comforting stew. Filled with warming spices like nutmeg, smoked paprika, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, cumin and cardamom, you have a winning combination with silky yellow split peas and chunks of seitan in a pomegranate-infused sauce. I modified it only slightly by using liquid smoke and substituting Aleppo chili flakes for the larger chilies.
I have made seitan, or wheat meat, once before as chorizo sausages. This recipe is neat because you make a batch of seitan specifically for this recipe. The results are chewy nuggets admixed within the cooked eggplant and split peas. A nice play of textures with a definite protein boost.
This was a delicious stew to return home to, especially since it was so cold upon our return. Curl up with a bowl of stew any day you need some a virtual warm hug from a bowl.

Mango BBQ Beans
What's in a label? Call something vegan and people assume it doesn't taste any good. Somehow it will deprive them of something they "need". (Me? Bitter? Much?)
This weekend, I was planning a menu since I was hosting guests. I initially thought my challenge was finding something I could make or reheat in a kitchen devoid of all my usual ingredients and utensils.
No, that was not my challenge.
"I don't like vegan food," said one guest.
Oh my gosh, what to do?!
I would obviously have to figure out a way to appeal to everyone's palates with our limited kitchen possibilities.
If meat was somewhat prominent, perhaps a vegan dish could be stealthily incorporated into the menu.
In the end, we opted to use the barbecue for some quick meals with side dishes I made at home earlier. We served barbecued wild boar sausages with a side of (vegan) coleslaw. For dessert, we made mango shrikhand or simply unadorned Alphonso mangoes for those averse to yogurt. The following day we went entirely vegan with mango BBQ beans, leftover coleslaw, cucumber slices wrapped inside a tortilla, or with a side of multigrain bread.
I heard the sausages were nice, but there were resounding compliments for the mango BBQ beans. Red kidney beans are simmered in a tomato sauce spiced with coriander, allspice, liquid smoke and mango. Smoky, sweet, zippy and saucy. A perfect combination for barbecue flavours. Don't be fooled by the mango, though. It adds sweetness as opposed to authentic mango flavour, although some of the frozen mango chunks were still present within the sauce. While the original recipe from Appetite for Reduction calls for red kidney beans, I think pinto beans would be better next time. This way, it would be more similar to baked beans. Or black beans since they pair so well with mango.
The great thing about these beans, though, is that they are easy to whip up in advance. After an overnight sit, they tasted even better. Just reheat prior to serving and you've got some smokin' mango BBQ beans! :)
I bit my tongue as my guest said these were one of the best baked beans she's eaten. They were vegan and she knew that, too. I just won't label anything in advance to ward off any undue prejudice. ;)

Q: The first time my 3-year-old called his 4-year-old brother "stupid" I was caught off guard and probably made too big a deal over it. I told him that he is not allowed to call a person stupid because it is hurtful. He promptly began calling the dog, his cup, and everything else under the sun "stupid." He loves to call people "stoopy" or "foopid" or "poopid" (especially that one, since it combines two words he knows annoy me!) I've created a monster, haven't I? I have started ignoring the behavior, but what should I do when he ...
This week I received an email from local Realtor Todd Manack regarding statewide real estate sales trends, and it had some encouraging figures, but a mixed bag at best.
The first few days of a new school year have passed, but according to the calendar - and thermometer, summer days linger. While celebrating a fresh year of school, don't forget to continue making summer memories, like another trip to the ocean, one more watermelon, or sprinkler fun on a hot day. In addition to those warm-weather activities, try some of these holiday suggestions or create family ones of your own.
Between 1802 and 1906 there were 14 schooners sailing the North Atlantic named the Atlanta. They ranged from the 45-ton vessel built in Maine in 1848 to the 104-ton ship built in Nova Scotia in 1862.
Some people have difficulty understanding what it means to be a Christian. Does it mean going to church, praying regularly and often, and reading the Bible daily? Does living as a Christian mean following a bunch of "dos and don'ts?" I would suggest it means all these things and others as well, but there is really no place in scripture that gives a neat list of what is involved in following Jesus.
Jim Fusilli, rock and pop reviewer for The Wall Street Journal, recently opined that Rolling Stone magazine's Top 500 Songs of All Time reflected "boomer bias," pointing out that a disproportionate number of selections were from the 1960s and 1970s. That got me thinking of the many times I've been accused of idealizing 1950s child rearing. I do, in fact, often compare the manner in which children were raised in those halcyon days with today's "parenting," daring to say that the 1950s was a much better time for kids.
East Georgia Regional Medical Center was recently named to the Georgia Hospital Association's (GHA) Partnership for Health and Accountability (PHA) Core Measures Honor Roll. It is one of 17 hospitals in Georgia to be placed in the Chairman's category, the highest on the list.
For those of you who travel Gentilly Road on a regular basis, you may have noticed survey crews up and down the busy corridor that leads from Georgia Southern to Brannen St. and the mall area.
A friend of mine is fond of saying that if it wasn't for his wife, he wouldn't have a past! A lot of folks - maybe most - have trouble with memory as they get older. That has certainly been my experience.
Q: My 21-month-old has started hitting. Whenever he hits his 4-year-old sister, I put him in his crib until he calms down. Recently, however, his sister has started hitting back. I don't want her thinking that I go easier on him when it comes to discipline. How do I implement fair and effective punishment for the same offense for children of different ages?
Between 1850 and 1870, four large cargo ships named the Atlanta were built in New England and the Canadian Maritimes. The first weighed 699 tons; while the last weighed 1,064 tons.
OK all of you foodies. There is another restaurant slated to open in our area the first week in August.
I am, I've been told, a good storyteller. I've been told this enough that I've come to accept it as true.
The first steamship Savannah was a 350-ton ship built by the Fickett and Crocker Shipyard in New York for the new Savannah Steamship Company.
Q: My ex-husband has our 3-year-old son from Thursday through Saturday, every weekend. When I hand him over to his dad, he's fairly well behaved, but when I get him back, he's disrespectful and defiant. It takes a day or two to get him back on track. I work very hard to discipline consistently and it seems his dad unravels everything I accomplish.

Question: What is a hog peanut?
Question: Our 14-year-old daughter has difficulty controlling her anger. She has extreme outbursts fairly frequently here at home - screaming, cursing and even throwing things when she doesn't get her way. She appears to have no respect for us and very little consideration for her two younger siblings. At school and in other people's homes, however, she's a model citizen. She's a straight-A student about whom all of her teachers have nothing but praise. When I describe her outbursts to friends and family, they are disbelieving. Is it too late to do anything about her anger issue?

I suppose most folks who work for a living begin, at some point, to look forward to retirement. Some prefer not to quit for various reasons, but they are exceptions. One thing that causes many to want to stop working is having to go in whether they want to or not. As one fellow reportedly said, "I wouldn't mind the job as much if it just wasn't so every day!"
Thunderstorms, warmer weather, sleeping late and the absence of big yellow buses on the road can only mean one thing: Summertime has arrived!

43 year old man | Beverly Hills, CA, USA | Seeking women 26-44 within 25 miles of Los Angeles, CA
Caution: May be habit forming...
What I need is a woman who is something, anything; either very beautiful or very kind or in the last resort very wicked; very witty or very stupid, but something. -Alfred de Musset The man who is proudly certain of his own value will want the highest type of woman he can find, the woman he admires, the strongest, the hardest to conquer, because only the possession of a heroine will give him the sense of an achievement, not the possession of a brainless slut. He does not seek to gain his value, but to express it. There is no conflict between the standards of his mind and the desires of his body. - Ayn Rand *I'm taking a break from this site right now, so can't read your e-mail.* I'm here looking for someone who is not average or ordinary. An accomplished woman keeps me on my toes. Someone who is my equal and can connect with me both intellectually and emotionally. Nothing is more appealing to me than that rare combination of beauty and brains. Your physical presence should both excite me and inspire me. You might scare away lesser men. I'm drawn to free-spirits, artists, actors, musicians and adventurers. I have a particular appreciation for open-minded women, and I tend to be attracted to women who are very independent - almost to a fault. Closet geeks and tomboys with a feminine side as well. It's also cool if you have a wild side (but not too crazy - we shouldn't get arrested on the first date). I expect in return what I willingly and generously offer. Yes, you might say I have high standards, but I demand more from myself than anyone else could ever expect of me. About Me: I believe in experiencing life to the fullest, taking risks with awareness and living at the edge of my comfort zone. Complacency and conformity are not for me. I've learned the hard way that the biggest risk you can take in life is to play it safe. At the beginning of this year I packed up everything I own (except my house in Miami) in a big diesel truck and drove 2800 miles to L. A. My only regret: Why didn't I do this sooner? All forms of art inspire me. I'm a polymath, both an artist and a mad scientist, and in equal measure. To me, creating a work of art or creating a working machine are just two side of the same process. I'm quite busy, but I love what I do, and work with great people. I truly enjoy meeting interesting people and I can start a conversation with anyone. I'm willing to try just about anything, as long as it does not involve eating live bugs. (On second thought, scratch that, I don't care if the bugs are dead I'm not eating them). Some of my photos are above: Big Ben, the British Parliament building and Sherlock and the Flat Cat (c)Me. I've never been married, but I was in a relationship for almost 10 years. I'm certainly no commitment phobe, but I believe you have to let things develop naturally. The best way is to start with no pressure and no expectations. Taking good care of myself is a priority. On meeting me, most people won't guess my real age. I've been called the "Energizer Bunny" by women 10 years younger than me. Basically, I'm young enough to do it often, old enough to do it right. Travel is something I love, and right now I'm itching to take weekend road trips and explore Southern California. I'm looking for a co-pilot. You must be adventurous, have a good attitude and a great outlook, know how to read a map, navigate using iPhone GPS, read a radar detector - and last but not least - drive a manual transmission! Candidates with Autobahn or Autostrada experience get extra points. Are you up to the challenge? About Us: Have you ever met a man, and once you started talking to him, and looking in his eyes, you felt a tingle of energy, and you loose all track of time and are present in the Now? Have you ever had a first date that was so good, you have to completely re-calibrate your standards on what a great date can be like? You might experience that feeling soonr

Professor Chris Elliott is calling for a "robust, effective" Food Crime Unit to protect the industry and consumers from criminal activity and support better links with food crime agencies.
And he said consumers must be put first by ensuring that their needs in relation to food safety and food crime prevention are the "top priority".
Mr Elliott said the UK food industry was "very competitive and there is a constant drive to reduce costs and maximise profits". But he added: "Consumers must be able to trust that the food they consume is what it claims to be."
He said that while all consumers were at risk from food fraud, lower income groups spent a higher proportion of their income on food, particularly processed foods, which were more susceptible to fraud.
And he said: "Some consumers are at risk if they have to rely on others for food preparation.
"Recent surveys by local authorities such as Leicester City Council, West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire and West Sussex, and the consumer organisation Which? have shown that consumers using fast food outlets in inner city areas are often buying food which is not what it claims to be.
"In some cases the evidence suggests that problems arose because of unintentional labelling mistakes, but there is a concern that other fast food outlets may have been sourcing cheaper meat which increased the risk of food fraud. "
Professor Elliott said buying policies, particularly within some of the larger retailers, were "a matter of concern". He said: "The review cautions against procurement of goods for less than the recognised reasonable price, based on market knowledge

As of Monday, July 15, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
SAN DIEGO — The reality show that Tim Lincecum staged Saturday night had a "surreal" feel to it. Less than an hour after Lincecum pitched the first no-hitter at Petco Park, it still seemed like a dream to him.
"It's pretty surreal for me to just be part of that," said Lincecum, who threw the second no-hitter in the majors this season after Homer Bailey's no-no on July 2 against the Giants.
"Obviously, I've gotten to see a couple with Jonathan (Sanchez) and (Matt) Cain's perfect game. But to be in the middle of it is a little different. I think I'm still kind of pinching myself.
"It feels good. But right now I don't think I've really taken in the whole idea of what just happened. Like I said, I'm still pinching myself."
Lincecum squeezed all the juice out of the Padres' bats as 40,342 fans stood and chanted for the right-hander to seal the deal. Yonder Alonso's fly ball to left capped it as the Giants rolled in a 9-0 rout of the Padres.
Lincecum, who was mobbed by his teammates, pitched the 15th no-hitter in Giants history, the seventh in the franchise's San Francisco era. It was the eighth no-hitter against the Padres, the last one coming when Sanchez no-hit them on July 10, 2009, at AT&T Park in San Francisco. Cain's perfect game occurred on June 13, 2012, against the Houston Astros.
"Unbelievable. What was impressive was how much better he got deep in the game," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Lincecum. "Believe me, I was thinking about where he was with the pitch count. But he was under control and even got better with his delivery and command. He just had that eye in the tiger look."
Lincecum (5-9) struck out 13 and walked four on 148 pitches (96 for strikes). He also hit San Diego's Jedd Gyorko with a pitch.
Hunter Pence homered and drove in five runs and kept Lincecum's no-hitter alive with a diving catch of a sinking liner by Alexi Amarista to right to end the eighth inning. Third baseman Pablo Sandoval also helped preserve it by making a standout play on a groundout by Jesus Guzman in the seventh.
But Pence's generated more drama.
"You've got to have all your chips in at that point," Pence said. "Anything hit you've got to give everything you can to make a catch. I just laid out and reached out as far as I could and happened to just get there.
"The whole game in itself was one of the greatest feelings and greatest things to be a part of. It was just incredible to be a part of. It's very special."
Bochy said he didn't believe Pence could make the catch.
"I didn't think he had a chance," Bochy said. "I thought it was a base hit and (Lincecum) was coming out of the game at that point. What a great play he made there. When you throw a no-hitter, it's the whole club coming together, and they did preserve that for him. Everyone is so happy for Timmy."
"That was really special," Lincecum said of Pence's catch. "To be honest, I thought that was a hit off the bat. But Hunter comes flying out of nowhere and makes a superman catch."
Brandon Belt homered and had three RBIs as the Giants' offense hammered Padres pitching for the second consecutive game. The Giants romped 10-1 on Friday night.
Edinson Volquez (6-8) was tagged for eight runs and nine hits on 107 pitches (69 for strikes) in five innings. He struck out six and walked one.
The Giants (43-50), who won their third in a row, can sweep the four-game series on Sunday with a win over the reeling Padres (41-54), who dropped their 14th game in 15 outings and their 18th out of the last 21.
Sandoval's RBI double to right center with two outs in the first inning scored Buster Posey for a 1-0 Giants lead. The Giants just kept hammering away.
In the fourth, they added three runs. Posey led off with a ground-rule double to left and scored on a groundout by Pence for a 2-0 advantage with one out.
Belt followed and drilled a 2-2 pitch by Volquez 414 feet into the sandbox in right center for a two-run homer and a 4-0 Giants lead. It was Belt's 10th home run of the season.
The Giants added four runs in the fifth and another in the eighth on Pence's homer.
"I was pretty much speechless," Lincecum said when he reached the locker room and briefly addressed his teammates, who doused him with champagne. "I just said that was awesome."
NOTES: The Giants purchased the contract of OF Jeff Francoeur from Triple-A Fresno on Saturday. Francoeur joined the club Saturday in San Diego, where he is expected to start in Sunday's game. To make room, the Giants designated RHP Chris Heston for assignment. … RHP Santiago Casilla was activated on Saturday by San Francisco. Casilla had been on the disabled list since May 21 and was recovering from surgery to remove a bone cyst near his right knee. … Giants RHP Jean Machi and INF Nick Noonan were optioned to Triple-A Fresno on Saturday.

I am thinking about trying some of these...
Just wondering if someone can tell me that has modded the pads on these to be over ear...
Is the bass still good? And also is the soundstage good? Can you compare them to expensive headphones?

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to buy the S500s then. Shame since everything else about them sounded really positive but I suppose they are portable on-ears at the end of the day.
Here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/621063/the-jvc-ha-s500-appreciation-fan-thread/4080#post_9023880
Lacked bass with just the stock pads with MH5 pads over them so............
Here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/621063/the-jvc-ha-s500-appreciation-fan-thread/4200
Double stuffed the stock pads as well as the HM5 pads for the best bass i have heard from these S500 with crazy bigger soundstage with mids and highs still intact.
Result is a set of S500s that can hang with my WS99s, though the bass is of different flavor/ quality/ quantity, they are almost as satisfying to listen as my WS99s. nuff said.
HM5 pads here. Yes, the bass is still good though not excessive. Compared to expensive headphones? They are much cheaper.
Just joined the club, my pair arrived today(dropped doing my HW to mod it, it's just hw thats due tomorrow... xD). Modded it with tape + Ws55+ tissue mod I'm liking it except the tops of my ears hurt when wearing this... I have HM5 pads coming soon hope that will feel better with stock/ws55 pads + HM5.
So I have another question lol. Has anyone tried the HM5 pads over the WS55 pads? Or would the 55 pads be too big for the HM5's to fit over?
There we go re-stuffed the ws55 pads leaving about 3/4 of an inch of space empty in front of the pads. And results in an 'over the ear' pads if I tuck my ears in the pads a bit. Comfort is excellent and creates a nice seal. I'm not adept at describing sound so I can't comment on it other than it sounds different and I prefer the ws55 + partially stuffed pads over the stock ones.
where can i find the hm5 pads? are these the recommended pads to transform these cans into over ear headphones?
You can find them on http://mp4nation.net
Yes they are the recommended way to transform the S500 into over-ear.
Just got a pair of these. Took 5 days from Japan EMS, extremely quick shipping time! They sound great but the stock pads sucked, so I began looking for options. Steelseries just released a new pair of on-ears called the flux with 40mm drivers and some cool looking pads, the wheels started turning and I ordered a couple. I will report that the cloth ones and the premium leather ones fit fine.
Both pads drastically increase comfort, with the cloth ones offering a bit reduced bass response. The premium leather ones are a nice step up in quality/comfort without sacrificing too much bass. I still believe the stock pad provide the best bass output. Just a heads up to all out there who were looking to play around with ANOTHER set of pads.
what kind of cloth are the cloth ones? like a velour or more like a t-shirt?
any one tried the ES700 pads on this JVC? i find them rather comfy, and they don't change the stock pad sound much. in fact, i think bass is nicer and soundstage is a wee bit wider.
do they hurt less over time compared to the stocks?
they are actually quite comfy to me. i don't feel they hurt.
I've never understood the people that say the stock pads "hurt" their ears. I've got a fairly large-sized head, so you'd think if it was going to hurt anyone, it would be someone with a larger head which could cause a stronger clamping force. The WS55 had much more clamping force and could be uncomfortable until you stretched it out.....I never had to do so with the S500.
