Matt Willey is (I believe) current joint Creative Director of Port Magazine which is is a 2011 start up mag for Men. If you get the chance to have a look at the layout and or read the mag, do it! Beautiful layout. Mmmmm yummy to the eyes. He has some awesome projects under his belt. He's joint creative and founder of studio8, a much admired studio. Everything they do is gold!
The video is of a past project done for the Royal Academy Magazine and shows the process of creating a striking layout at speed. It highlights thinking and doing work in unison. Experimentation is an important part of being a designer. Trying stuff out rather than taking a single direction leads to an improved solution.
There is no photoshop trickery or highly manipulated headings. Its all about SCALE/CONTRAST and BALANCE.

Henderson rehired as BRCHS' CEO
Published: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 6:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 6:50 p.m.
Blue Ridge Community Health Services' search for a CEO came full circle this week.
The board has rehired former CEO Jennifer Henderson, who left the position three weeks ago to take a position as vice president at Appalachian Regional Medical Associates in Boone.
"I accepted the position and quickly realized I missed the mission of Blue Ridge Community Health Services," Henderson said.
That mission is to "provide health care that is affordable and accessible for all," she added.
The "new" CEO had to reapply and go through the interview process with the other applicants.
"I returned for two reasons," she said. "The people and the mission were a good fit for me. Blue Ridge's focus is removing barriers to accessing care."
Henderson joined BRCHS in 2007. During her tenure as CEO, Blue Ridge experienced much growth, including a new 27,000-square-foot health center, expansion of services in Transylvania County and a new satellite in Brevard.
The search committee chose Henderson from a group of four final candidates.

After four quarters of in-your-face basketball, Canton-Galva and Inman found themselves in a 36-36 deadlock, but last-second heroics by the Eagles' Erika Smith led Canton-Galva to a 41-40 Heart of America League Win.
The Teutons were up 6-4 after the first quarter and surged out to a 16-10 advantage at the half, thanks, in part to the foul shooting of Abby Ropp, who went 4-4 from the line in the first half.
Canton-Galva came back in the third, with Smith leading the charge, scoring six points in the frame. The Eagles won the battle in the third, 15-10, but Inman still controlled the scoreboard 28-25.
An 11-8 Eagle fourth sent the game into the extra period, where Inman had a one-point lead with five second left on the clock.
Canton-Galva put the ball in Smith's hands as time wound down and she sunk a contested turnaround jumper to secure the win for Canton-Galva.
Smith finished with 17 points, 15 of which coming in the second half. Cassidy Enns had nine for the eagles.
Ropp and Savanah Case both had 14 points for Inman.
Halstead 26
Smoky Valley 20
LINDSBORG — Smoky Valley held Halstead scoreless in the first quarter, but the Lady Dragons roared back in the second to claim the lead on their way to a 26-20 win.
Halstead led 11-7 at the half as both teams had trouble scoring. The third quarter saw more of the same, with Halstead sinking a pair of threes from Tia Frazell and Marci Diepenbrock to keep a six-point advantage leading into the fourth.
Smoky and Halstead both scored seven in the final frame.
No player hit double digits, though Sydney Beat had nine.
Hannah McBride led the Vikings with six.

A large turnout of St. John Tiger fans got their money's worth as they watched 1A St. John-Hudson knock heads with the #2 ranked in 6A Wichita South Titans in the championship finals of Pratt's Tournament of Champions Saturday, with both teams battling "tooth and toenail", the Tigers coming up just short, losing in overtine 24-26.
The #3 ranked in 1A (div. I ) Tigers gave just about all they had in a defensive effort which played more like a chess game with each team trying to figure out the other's weaknesses. And if someone hadn't seen the game, they might have assumed it was slow paced, especially with a 2-5 score after one quarter. They couldn't have been more wrong. The Tiger's defense was anything but slow, as well as the Titan's defense.

Hendersonville woman struck by car dies
Published: Monday, August 19, 2013 at 6:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 19, 2013 at 6:32 p.m.
Troopers say dark clothing and heavy rain contributed to a pre-dawn crash that took the life of a stranded Hendersonville woman in Buncombe County Monday morning.
Anna Gibbs, 75, was out enjoying a motorcycle ride with her godson, 42-year-old Dalton Foster, both of Hendersonville, when they ran out of gas at 107 Mills Gap Road. State Highway Patrol Trooper Kelly Rhodes said Gibbs stayed with the bike while Foster went on foot to get fuel.
Minutes later, at 6:20 a.m., a motorist struck Gibbs in the roadway. The motorist told Rhodes that she couldn't see Gibbs, who was wearing dark clothing, until it was too late.
"She was just about impossible to see," Rhodes said, adding that it was pouring rain and still very dark when the accident occurred.
Another witness reported that the driver tried to avoid hitting Gibbs, but there was little she could do. Gibbs was pronounced dead at the scene.
The eastbound lane of Mills Gap Road was closed for about an hour Monday morning while Troopers investigated the scene. No charges have been filed against the driver. Rhodes said they will leave the decision of charges up to District Attorney Ronald Moore.

NC unemployment rate drops slightly in October
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 12:25 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 12:25 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina's unemployment dropped slightly in October from a month earlier.
The state Commerce Department released figures Friday showing that the rate dropped to 9.3 percent from 9.6 percent in September. The figures show a significant improvement from a year ago, when unemployment was 10.6 percent in October 2011.
The state still trails the national rate, which was 7.9 percent in October.
The number of people employed increased by more than 43,000 to more than 4.2 million over the month. That's up more than 95,000 in the past year. The major industry with the largest over-the-month increase was leisure and hospitality services, which gained 3,600 jobs.

I'm Ashley (McMillan) Weightman. I grew up in the small town of Wimbledon, North Dakota. In 2005 I moved to Bismarck to go to school where I graduated from the University of Mary with a Bachelors Degree in Communications and Business. I began working at the CBS affiliate as a reporter while in college and spent three years there. From CBS, I moved to Devils Lake to work at WDAZ-TV for a year, before continuing to work at WDAZ in Grand Forks. I married the love of my life Travis on June 23, 2012 and we now live in Bismarck with our three year old son, Corbin. Travis works at KXMB-TV and I at KLJ Engineering and attend Rasmussen College where I'm pursing a Bachelors Degree in Human Resources Management and Organizational Leadership.
Weight has been a struggle for me since I can remember. I do well for a while and then fall off the wagon. Four years ago I lost nearly 50lbs and was doing great. Two months after maintaining my weight, I found out that I was pregnant and gained 70lbs in nine months. I figured after I had Corbin, some of the pounds would fall off. Corbin weight 8lbs 12oz and I only lost 3lbs. Ever since December of 2009, I've been doing fad diets for about a month, trying the gym on and off, and eat healthy and nothing seems to be working. I've recently had some health issues and my doctor told me that in order to have more children and be a part of my children's life, I need to lose weight, but most importantly, I need to do it for me.
I usually don't go to Body Pump on the weekends, but my other sister, we'll call her sister one, was in town and has never been to Body Pump so myself and sister two decided to take her. We got there a half an hour early just to make sure we got the back row. However, two others had also had the same idea, so one of us had to move up a row. I usually make sister two do it, but I decided I would do it today and it's a good thing I did.
I absolutely hate looking in the mirror while I'm working out. It's not attractive at all. Today, I looked in the mirror while I was doing squats and I wasn't disappointed at all with what I saw! A friend told me last week that you could tell I was losing weight and I just shrugged it off and said thanks. But today, I finally saw it for myself. I do look thinner and I was pumped about it. So pumped that I increased all of my lifting weights for the entire class....ugh. I will regret appreciate that tomorrow.
Although I haven't lost maybe five pounds in the last three months,but I haven't gained either and I'm starting to see results. I'm excited for tomorrows class and will probably stand by the mirror more often!
In my next post I'll let you in on a conversation I had with my mother this weekend.....

- I call it "Tiny Tim"Okay, the Colt .25, this is probably the smallest airsoft gun on the market, and let me tell ya, great things really can come in small packages. I'll just get right to the specs.
Build(4/5)-I am amazed at how durable this gun is, it may be tiny but the plastic is great on it and through my year of abuse on this $15 gun, there's not a scratch. One problem I have to point out is that the paint on the safety and the trigger isn't very durable, but the gun is packed tight and strong, the only wobbling is the trigger by a little bit, no problems there.
Functions(5/5)-Safety's easy to use and the trigger is buttery smooth. Not too sensitive and not too resistant. The gun is very user friendly, a 4 year old could figure out how to use it, it's simple and intuitive.
Performance(4/5)-Now, the fps may be 115, and the effective range may only be 25 feet while the max is 40, but you gotta give it credit. It can fit in your palm, pocket, even your shoe, and it's a last resort CQB weapon. For the circumstance, the gun is great. I, being stupid, usually put in .25's or .20's (.25's was a mistake, use .20's), and .20's bolster impressive accuracy and distance compared to even .12's. You can rely on it for a close up weapon, and it will perform, but still keep it a backup to your backup.
Skirmishable?-Yes, but under certain circumstances. Keep it for when your rifle clicks out and your slide locks back. Then, trust me, it will shine, I've taken out a dude with an AK-47 with 400fps because he made the mistake of rushing in once my pistol ran out. Trust me, when you need it, it won't let you down.
All-in-all, an impressive gun, a sexy gun, and an awesome gun. I just can't get over how cool it looks too.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
They're silent now, too intent on their work to talk amongst themselves. Soon enough, the houses start to come together; walls rise and roofs take shape. Soon little hands are reaching for the candy bowls, lining rooftops with gumdrops, turning ordinary chocolate bars into shutters for butterscotch windows, and imagining candy canes into picket fences.
Each house is unique, just as each child is. Some are meticulous and minimalist in their design, with seams carefully hidden by icing and peppermint sticks, and not a single decoration out of place. Others are ornate mansions, teeming with color; icing swirls across the rooftops, gumdrops circle the foundation, and it seems that not a single inch lacks some candy feature. It doesn't matter, of course, every one is beautiful in its own special way, and each child glows with happiness as they one by one add their creations to the little gingerbread village in the dining room and run off to play before Christmas dinner. Byers' Choice Traditions Gingerbread Houses are an American Holiday Tradition that have been creating Christmas Memories with families for generations.

Tuesday's letters: No solution
Published: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 5:12 p.m.
To the editor: Now, it seems all of our gun-related danger will be significantly reduced if magazine capacity is limited to a reasonably safe number of rounds. (There are some who think the safe number is zero!)
But even if the Earth could be rid of every magazine that can hold more than 10 or even seven rounds, how do we get the crazed mass murderer to bring only one magazine to the slaughter? Or even one gun, for that matter?
It is illuminating to note the millions of people who have been violently killed or starved to death by what passed for government before the invention of clip-fed firearms.
Bruce Benton
To the editor: On Jan. 20, President Barack Obama took the oath of office for the second time, swearing that he will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. If the notion of the president protecting and defending the Constitution werent so serious and threatening to the U.S., the issue would be laughable.
Remember that he promised in Seattle: We will stand up in this election to bring about the change that wont just win an election, but will transform America. More than 60 million who voted for Mitt Romney expressed their fears that he is doing exactly that (i.e., transforming the freest and greatest country in the world to some European socialist country or, worse, a banana republic).
Section 3 of the Constitution states that the president shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed. Space limitations preclude discussing his most egregious actions, but let me list some: The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) instructing the attorney general not to enforce; illegal immigration filing lawsuits against states and not enforcing existing laws; cap and trade simply ignoring the will of the electorate; Second Amendment issuing 23 executive orders on the issue of gun control.
Impeachment is being discussed. We can only hope.
Bob Stevens
Heating bills
To the editor: I would like to bring to each and everyones attention, as I did last year, the poor folks who cannot afford to pay their heating bills. Their homes must be as cold inside as it is outside.
My family and I help these people as best we can by sending monthly checks during the winter to help them. I contribute to Interfaith Assistance Ministry, P.O. Box 2562, Hendersonville, N.C., 28793.
Please help if you can, and God bless you, one and all.

I will surely buy from you again. Pear, Chestnut Ridge, NY 11/10/2010"

I'm Ashley (McMillan) Weightman. I grew up in the small town of Wimbledon, North Dakota. In 2005 I moved to Bismarck to go to school where I graduated from the University of Mary with a Bachelors Degree in Communications and Business. I began working at the CBS affiliate as a reporter while in college and spent three years there. From CBS, I moved to Devils Lake to work at WDAZ-TV for a year, before continuing to work at WDAZ in Grand Forks. I married the love of my life Travis on June 23, 2012 and we now live in Bismarck with our three year old son, Corbin. Travis works at KXMB-TV and I at KLJ Engineering and attend Rasmussen College where I'm pursing a Bachelors Degree in Human Resources Management and Organizational Leadership.
Weight has been a struggle for me since I can remember. I do well for a while and then fall off the wagon. Four years ago I lost nearly 50lbs and was doing great. Two months after maintaining my weight, I found out that I was pregnant and gained 70lbs in nine months. I figured after I had Corbin, some of the pounds would fall off. Corbin weight 8lbs 12oz and I only lost 3lbs. Ever since December of 2009, I've been doing fad diets for about a month, trying the gym on and off, and eat healthy and nothing seems to be working. I've recently had some health issues and my doctor told me that in order to have more children and be a part of my children's life, I need to lose weight, but most importantly, I need to do it for me.
So I have been slacking in the blog-o-sphere lately. Last week I had 4674513 things to do which included meetings for work, trying to get two workouts a day in, and it was finals week at school. Needless to say, my diet lifestyle change has also struggled this week.
Friday night we went to a hockey game so I ate there. Saturday I spent all day running around because my car decided it wanted some new wheels which took FOUR hours and I had an ice cream date with a friend and my son. That night we were at a basketball game and my husbands parents took us out to eat. Yesterday, I worked a hectic 12 hour day and the last thing I wanted to do was come home and cook so we went out again. And today, my son and I had a lunch date at the Chinese Buffet when oen of my friends and her son. Therefore, my life has been consumed with food in the last four days.
I need to figure out a way to energize myself and make healthy choices. I tried eating a salad everyday, but I got sick of the salad real fast. I'm afraid to get back on the scale and see what that Tremendous twelve did to the numbers.
I'll let you know what it looks like when I weigh-in tomorrow.

OAKLAND -- A week after imploring California's universities to resist another round of tuition hikes, Gov. Jerry Brown focused his plea for frugality on another target Tuesday: a $50,000 pay hike for UC Berkeley's incoming chancellor.
Brown's objection to the salary for Berkeley's new chancellor, Nicholas Dirks, failed to sway UC regents who approved the Columbia University dean's appointment with a $486,800 base salary and a nearly $9,000 annual car allowance.
But the governor's message was clear as he continues to push for financial restraint after voters earlier this month approved Proposition 30, the tax increase that saved California schools and universities from deep budget cuts. Following the election, the governor talked both UC and Cal State Unversity leaders into backing off consideration of higher fees for students who had helped campaign for the tax increases.
The regents, Brown among them, unanimously approved Dirks' appointment, but Brown, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Regent Charlene Zettel voted against his pay package because of the increase over what the previous chancellor was paid.
"I believe a $50,000 increase ... does not fit within the spirit of servant leadership that I believe will be required," Brown said. The governor promised he would continue to make calls "for greater efficiency, greater elegance and modesty" to reflect the new model on which the state's prized university system must run.
Brown's appearance and message drew positive reactions.
"I'm very, very excited that the governor and Legislature are starting to take a more active role," said Connor Landgraf, president of the Associated Students of the University of California.
Given the university's poor financial condition, "I think every administrator and every employee needs to have their salaries examined, especially those in the upper echelons," he said.
UC President Mark Yudof seemed unruffled by Brown's remarks. "I'm glad you're here today, governor," he said before the vote on Dirks. "This has been a good discussion."
Yudof said after Tuesday's meeting the governor was "absolutely right," the system's paradigm is changing. But he also noted the $50,000 difference was privately funded and that "for the taxpayers of California, the bill is the same."
UC Regent George Kieffer said that while he disagreed with Brown that Dirks' pay package was too high, he felt it was appropriate for the governor to dig into the issues and ask tough questions.
"I think he is as much focused, if not more focused, on other issues in the university: Where is higher education going, and can higher education sustain itself on the kinds of revenues we've had before?" Kieffer said. "I think he's trying to lead carefully in that area, recognizing that he doesn't want to do damage to what's perceived to be the greatest public higher education system in the world."
Dirks was making about $500,000 at Columbia, Yudof said. "But he does get that big house on campus," he added, referring to the chancellor's historic 1911 mansion on 2.5 acres at UC Berkeley.
Yudof's office circulated a document comparing the salaries of university leaders nationwide; UC Berkeley ranked 44th, based on retiring Chancellor Robert Birgeneau's base pay.
Dirks, who will take his office on June 1, vowed to be a responsible steward of public dollars. But in the news conference after the meeting, he mostly focused on his new job: "This, for me, is in fact a kind of dream."
He said that he aimed to raise more funds for tuition aid and to encourage a new level of interdisciplinary collaboration on campus.
He noted that he learned of his appointment two days after Californians approved a statewide tax increase that came as an enormous relief to the state's schools and universities. Still, he said, "I'm more than a little daunted by the challenges that lie ahead."
One of the challenges of running UC Berkeley appeared as Dirks visited the campus: About six protesters occupied a building for several hours late Tuesdayover cuts to diversity programs.
Dirks spent 15 years at Columbia University, eight of them as executive vice president for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. He managed five schools, including the undergraduate Columbia College, and 29 departments.
He and his wife, Columbia University history professor Janaki Bakhle, have an eighth-grade son. Bakhle will be considered for a similar appointment at UC Berkeley. Birgeneau said that while she will go through the typical faculty appointment process, he was confident the tenured Columbia professor would be welcomed at UC Berkeley.

UC berkeley chief's pay
University of California regents on Tuesday approved a pay package for new Berkeley campus Chancellor Nicholas Dirks that includes:
Base pay: $486,800
Car allowance: $8,916 annually
Annual relocation allowance: $30,425 each year for four years
In addition: two round-trip flights for Dirks and his wife related to the relocation, plus the university arranges to pack and move household items and Dirks' library and equipment.

Father charged with infant's injuries
Published: Thursday, August 22, 2013 at 11:26 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 22, 2013 at 11:26 a.m.
Deputies with the Henderson County Sheriff's Office have charged a Hendersonville man with felony child abuse after his 2-month-old daughter was admitted to Mission Hospital with head trauma and broken bones.
The Henderson County Department of Social Services informed deputies about an infant with injuries at the hospital on Friday.
"Detectives from the Sheriff's Violent Crimes Unit immediately began investigating the incident. Meanwhile, due to the extent of the injuries, the child was transported to Chapel Hill Medical Center for treatment," according to news released by the Sheriff's Office.
Detectives arrested the infant's father, Anthony James Bastine, 21, of Hillbilly Drive and charged him with felony child abuse inflicting serious physical injury on Wednesday. The warrant for his arrest stated that Bastine's daughter had "suffered head trauma and broken bones."
Bastine is being held in the Henderson County Detention Center in lieu of a $150,000 secured bond. He had his first appearance in Henderson County District Court Wednesday morning.

I think my two-year-old might actually eat these. I may try baking instead of frying, maybe rolled in some whole-wheat panko first... Or maybe I'll just treat myself and fry, fry away. I'll come back and let you know if it's a success. Thanks!

As a non-vegan omnivore, I have a question. I have veggie kids. I use the recipes on your site, thanks! Many are great. My wife and I are eating more vegetarian meals by the month. Good stuff.
My question? Why do the recipes have things like 'fake meat' and 'chicken wings' etc. I don't see a lot of fake vegetable recipes in non-vegan books.
Not taking a shot. Just don't quite get the reasoning.

- February 13, 2009 at 2:01 PM
- Vegan Dad said...
The reasoning is simple. I didn't give up meat because I thought it tasted bad, or because I didn't like the texture. Instead, I gave it up for ethical and moral reasons. So, why not recreate dishes I used to love, but without killing any animals?

Hi Vegan Dad again. I wanted to tell you that I added you to Oasis blog roll. I think some of my readers would be interested in your vegan dishes! I tried the chickpea pattie idea, unfortunately they tasted raw inside. Could you give direction about the oil...how do you know that it is the correct temp.? I think it was too hot...one side was burned the other stayed soft...so they absorbed too much oil...a disappointment. I want mine to look like your picture! Please advise.:-(

Hi Vegan Dad! i am so happy to have found your blog! My 18 year old daughter has been a vegetarian since 8 and this year decided to go all the way to veganism so your ideas are very helpful. I love your response to JD regarding the fake meat question. Why do people try to find fault with vegans? Do we nit pick omnivores that don't eat liver for not being a "real" omnivore? I don't think so! Thanks again for sharing all your great ideas.

I used a 19oz can of chickpeas, though I don;t think it would matter if ut was a bit more or less.
Generally 350 degrees is optimum heat for frying. For me and my cermaic-top stove, it's between med and med-hi. If the oil is too cold, the oil will get sucked into the patty. Too hot, and it burns. My advice: slowly add the patties so the oil temp does not drop too quickly. Monitor the patties. If they are browning too fast, flip them a few times throughout the frying process. And, find the "sweet spot" on your stove for frying.

I made these last night and billed them as faux crab cakes....they were a hit. My only complaint was that I was only able to get 8 decent sized patties from the recipe, and my 2 year old ate 3 of them. I'll have to double the recipe next time!!!!

I doubled the recipe when I saw how much I had-I used 2 cans of chickpeas. They were delicious and I had no trouble with them falling apart. The time in the fridge helps and they were delicious with ketchup, my sons new favorite thing.

These were alright. I made 12 bite sized burgers and I baked them. They may have lost some of their crab cakiness as a result, but my jeans still fit!! They were a hit and taste great dipped in salsa verde!

I know this was a long time ago in this thread but it drives me crazy when omnivores question the fact that we like to imitate meat. No one says to Diabetics "Ok, so let me get this...you can't eat sugar but you still like sweets so you imitate it?" or to those with celiac disease "You can't eat wheat so you make pasta out of rice?!" I don't know many vegans who don't like the taste of meat. Not only that but why should we have to invent all new foods that no one has a reference point for? I know a veggie burger isn't going to taste like a burger made out of meat; it's just a food we're all familiar with so we know what the recipe is for. I guess it's true what they say about common sense not being all that common.
Oh and P.R. (post-rant) Going to make this recipe right now...looks great! Thanks.

If using dry chick peas, do you cook them first?

Yes, cooked chickpeas are a must.

These sound great! I made some really good bean burgers the other day and we ate them all before I could even take a picture of them. I will have to try these out!

I cooked these tonight for supper. They were excellent!! I would add more of the cyan peppers and hot sauce for more kick next time though. I do love the extra vibe and flavor.
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. And so did my husband.
Thanks Vegan Dad!!!

These Cajun Chickpea Cakes were totally yum! I added extra thyme, paprika, doubled the hot sauce as well as added a half teaspoon of dried chilli powder. I served them with rice (with herbs that echoed the flavours in the cakes) and made a semi savoury peach and coconut sauce to go with them...I know it sounds strange but worked well...omni hubby loved them.
Thanks for a great recipe Vegan Dad!

Yum! I made a few batches of these tonight, as I had a bunch of chickpeas to use up.
One batch followed your recipe to a T. The second batch, I used Old Bay Seasoning instead of paprika & cayenne. The third batch I did half your recipe and half Old Bay, and added nutritional yeast to both. All were fab.
It definitely is a versatile recipe. I would imagine you could use different types of beans, as well.

I made these last night. I added a jalapeno for more kick. At first my patties were a too moist (I think I was too heavy on the pulse button!) so I added some bread crumbs. Came out tasty! Will definitely make again.

We had these a few days ago, and they are really yummy, made them thin to increase crispyness...this is good stuff!
I love Vegan Dad's Blog because when the 'wwaahhh whats for dinner' drama starts in all its gloomingly bland, fear-we-all-going-to-starve glory, a quick flick through this Blog will save the evening.

Made these tonight. Were a HUGE hit in my house with 4 small children and mom and dad. Made as directed but added 1 slice of vegan ww bread crumbled. They were fabulous! And I made them with cajun rice. Thank you so much. I love your recipies!

These are officially my "go-to" recipe for when I want something delicious with ingredient I always have on hand. The boyfriend makes a great parsley-based dressing and with that we serve this over mixed greens. Great! Thank you.

I loved these and so did my family. Next time, I will use my fry-daddy instead of the stove, I didnt have the heat up enough and the first few just sucked up the oil and fell apart. After turning the heat up a notch, they were perfect. My husband and I both love chick peas, thanks so much!

I love your blog and your recipe book. I am going to make sure I have the $ and I am soooo getting one of these. I am going to do a post about your page on my blog. Thanks for a unique and interesting set of recipes that even I can follow. I am not vegan, but many of my friends are. I would love to include a bunch of vegan friendly options for them on my dinner table or at my next party.

I made these on Friday for a Vegan Friend of mine and a impromptu dinner for 8 people. The entire meal consisted of Salad from our garden, your crispy Cajun Chickpea Cakes, Vegan Mac and Cheeze, Corn on Cob and Brown rice. It was Amazing. And in response to the anonymous reply above having trouble with making this bind....I had no problems with the recipe, I probably went more Eyeball than actual measurements and doubled up on the chickpeas and veggies. The Chickpeas are pretty sticky so it didn't need as much of the flour and CornStarch. Also I noticed that your ingredient list mentions the green pepper and your Instructions mention a green Onion. I put a red pepper and some chives and didn't really care about the difference, but I was curious about which one you meant to put in the recipe.

These are wonderful! Whole family LOVES these! I marinated them in a mesquite marinade then fried them and it was AMAZING! Thanks so much!

So this is one of those things where I see one can of chickpeas and I'm like hmm...what kind of can. And then I get six patties instead of 12 and wonder if you meant a big can. But they are super sticky so I feel they'll be excellent baked!
- July 20, 2009 at 6:03 PM
- Mandee said...
I made these the night before last, they didn't hold together 100% so I think I will add some more corn flour next time, but the flavour was great!

Hi Vegan Dad,
I make these cakes all the time! They are so easy and totally delish.
My question: I'm planning to modify the recipe, creating a mini layer cake (chickpeas on the bottom with two additional layers, and a sauce). I plan to add lentils to the chickpea cake and change up the spices, I'm *still* stuck on what the other two layers should be. All I can come up with is sauteed greens and I was wondering if you or other readers have any suggestions.
- July 23, 2009 at 3:15 PM
- Vegan Dad said...
I use a 28oz can. The trick here is to make the cakes thin and fairly small.
- July 28, 2009 at 10:53 PM
- Starling said...
i tweaked around your recipe since i didn't have all the ingredients to make them just as they are here, but i wanted to say thanks for the inspiration. they turned out great!
other than the ingredient mods that i didn't have (why do i not keep celery around? curses!) i added a bit more spice to them since i'm not cooking for little people: a jalapeno pepper and more considerable dose of siracha, and we loved them.
thanks again!

Made these tonite. They were delicious plain, but next time I will eat them in a pita with lettuce and vegannaise. My 2 year old even ate one dipped in ketchup, of course. Thank you for all the awesome recipes.

Its me again. I have been craving these since I made them only 3 days ago so I made them again tonight. Put em, on burger buns with lettuce, mayo, and mustard. They rule! RULE!

Made a half batch last night and served them with PPK's remoulade sauce - yum! My omnivore husband thought they were made with chicken - bless his heart :)

I made them tonight and it was so great ! My boyfriend has eaten something like 5 patties (that's a lot of oil, I hope his liver wont give up !)and was fully satisfied. I had some cumin and serve them with mango chutney. So pleasant in the mouth !
I have translate your recipe put it on my blog, for french vegan ! I hope they will enjoy as much as me !

We make these all the time and love them. They make great little "hamburgers" on a bun or toast with some lettuce, tomato, and vegenaise.

To the people who said they don't hold together: I used to have the same problem with falafel (which is very similar to this dish). Then I figured out what I was doing wrong. It's very important that the oil is HOT (not smoking, but hot enough that water sizzles) before you put the chickpea dough on the pan. If the oil is hot, the patty will stay together.

I made these and they were delicious! I dipped them in a mixed of veganaise and buffalo wing sauce and I thought that when really well with the patties. Mine, however, did not turn out looking like yours, maybe I didn't use enough oil.
Thank you!! I will definitely do them again!
- April 7, 2010 at 1:55 PM
- Aaron said...
Wonderful texture, but yes, they definitely do need kicking up a notch. I prepared for some vegan friends with an improvized frisee/slaw of radicchio and carrot, but I think some sort of remoulade would be great as well.
- May 9, 2010 at 12:37 AM
- EmilyElizabeth said...
Thanks for the great idea. I improvised from the pantry with great results. I used half chick peas and half black beans, shallots instead of celery, and added a little cumin and extra hot sauce. I didn't have any corn starch, and using 3T. flour seemed to bind them up just fine. I just discovered your blog this week and am really enjoying it. Thank you for sharing your recipes!

Could I use white beans instead? I bought a 12 pack from amazon inspired by your other recipes, and I'm now looking for ways to use them :)

Hello Vegan Dad,
I love this site, amazingly cool. Reading the comments had me laughing out loud. Somebody asked if they could use dried chick peas and vegan dad, says, yes cooked chick peas are a must. Killin me. i love this guy. And all the excitement over the fake meat comment. Come on, most people think vegans are totally nuts. you must be used to that by now. Keep up the good work vegan dad.

I'm not vegan (heck, I'm not even vegetarian), but I've made a few of your recipes now, in an attempt to eat cleaner and healthier. They have all been fabulous!

I made these and they were simple and tasty. I served them with guacamole and salsa. If I make these again, I might try some canned green chiles instead of bell pepper and some garlic. I wonder what they're like baked, too. It's a good base, though. :)

Fantastic flavor and so easy to make. All 3 of my children loved them. I broiled some to reduce fat and they were great, crispy on outside and moist on inside. Didn't look as nice as sauteed cakes but worth the fat reduction. I made the batter in the morning then formed cakes and broiled just before dinner. Plan to serve as entree or as appetizers at parties. Thanks, Catherine

I made these for dinner tonight, made 6 and used them as hamburger patties with homemade whole wheat buns, tomato, and avocado. They were great! Even my meat loving OH loved them! I'm not all vegetarian, just trying to cut out a lot of the animal products I eat and opting for healthier alternatives. Thanks!

Linda Brookes, left, and Charlotte Overbaugh, both with Hendersonville Little Theatre, carry baskets containing 275 pairs of gloves and mittens to be donated to Interfaith Assistance Ministry on Friday as part of the theater's Warm Hands, Warm Hearts campaign.
Members of the theater noticed there were donations programs to collect coats for the winter, so they decided to have a program to collect gloves.
Area businesses served as collection locations for the gloves, and the theater also gave away free tickets with the glove donations.

Kids have big fun with nano technology
Published: Saturday, March 30, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 5:37 p.m.
Sammie Shein walked up to Beth Bockoven, operations manager at Hands On!, with a big smile on her face. The 5-year-old pointed to her wrist, which was wrapped in a colorful, beaded bracelet.
Shein had made the bracelet Friday at one of the science tables set up for Nano Days at the downtown Hendersonville children's museum.
"She loved making that bracelet," said her mom, Walli Ann Wisniewski.
Kids meandered around the gallery and took part in science experiments that involved Nano technology, or the science of the very small.
At one location, kids combined water and a polymer to make hydro gels. At another table, they turned salt water into gummy capsules.
Kids could put on 3-D glasses to look at images such as butterflies and sorted balls of varying sizes. There was a molecule cart and a growing giant chameleon that was measured all week by children who wrote their measurements down in a log at the display.
The science displays and activities will continue until April 6.
Hands On! applied to be a part of Nano Days, which is put on by the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network and funded by a grant from The National Science Foundation.
"We are just thrilled that for the second year in a row, we were awarded these kits," Bockhoven said. "This gives us the opportunity for us to bring something cutting-edge and unique to Hendersonville."
That's exactly what draws Wisniewski, a college professor in Asheville, to the children's museum.
"They do a wonderful job here teaching," she said.

- not badTSD... not bad at all. great set of guns, will destroy empty cans 50-65ft away and will sting a bit when struck at that range too. although it could use a bit more power very accurate , good balance, great looks and finish. will serve well as a primary side arm for springer games and such.. 4 out of 5 i give it... hope this helps... love the way it looks too!
- worth the money This was not my first choice but the all metal pistol I wanted was not in stock. Out of the box it shoots low but the nice thing is that it has an adjustable rear sight and Hop Up. After adjusting the rear sight the accuracy was fine. It also has a white dot on the front sights which I find helpful. The trigger pull is a little heavy so if you like a light trigger pull this may not be the right gun for you. The slide has very solid feel to it. Overall this is a very nice pistol and I would have given it 5 stars if it had a lighter trigger.
- A good starter pistolThis was my first pistol ever to own and it is incredible. With .23g bb's and mess with the hop up this thing is as effective at 100 yard

Harold and Rebecca Phillips celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Nov. 4, 2012, at the First United Methodist Church in Oak Ridge, with family and friends. The party was given by their daughters, Teresa Icenhour and Heather Phillips; son-in-law, Dr. Alan Icenhour and granddaughters, Melissa and Abigail Icenhour. Music was provided by Andrew Duncan.
The couple met while both were working at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Harold in the Chemistry Division and Rebecca in the Biology Division. They were married at the First United Methodist Church in Oak Ridge on Nov. 17, 1962. Dr. Phillips worked at ORNL for many years as a research scientist. Later, he worked on fusion-related projects at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in Princeton, N.J. Harold also worked in New York City with an architectural engineering firm that was located in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. His office on the 89th floor provided an excellent view of southern Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. While working at the above institutions, he published many peer reviewed papers and reports. His research at ORNL resulted in several patents.
Rebecca worked at ORNL in the Pathology and Physiology Section of the Biology Division. She left ORNL to raise two lovely daughters. When she moved to New Jersey, Rebecca served on the Board of Trustees and the Administrative Board of the Princeton United Methodist Church. She enjoyed being a member of the Princeton University Newcomers Club and Graduate Newcomers Club. When she returned to Oak Ridge, she joined the Oak Ridge Garden Club and The Oak Ridge Woman's Club.
As part of their 50th anniversary celebration, the couple took a trip to New York City. The highlights of their trip were seeing again the area where Harold worked, museums, and the reflection pools filling the footprints of the previous towers. They were delighted to see that the new tower, One World Trade Center, was nearly completed.

Studying and working in Germany

Access to the German labour market
Foreign nationals other than European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) and Swiss nationals may reside in Germany for the purpose of taking up gainful employment if they have a residence permit which explicitly authorises them to do so. Australian, Israeli, Japanese, Canadian, South Korean, New Zealand and US citizens may obtain such a residence permit from the relevant foreigners authority, including once they have arrived in Germany. It is important to note, however, that they may not commence their intended employment until they have the permit. All other foreign nationals on the other hand, must apply for a work visa from their local German mission before coming to Germany.
Click here for more information:
Foreigners' access to the labour market is limited by the Ordinance on the admission of foreigners for the purpose of taking up employment. Access is in principle limited to certain occupational groups and normally requires the approval of the employment authorities, nonetheless there are numerous exceptions to this principle. In fact in recent years, various legislative measures have further liberalised access to the German labour market.
For unskilled and low-skilled workers access to the labour market remains limited. In contrast, in the case of highly-qualified foreign nationals such as university graduates, the legal barriers to working in Germany have been further reduced.
Since 1 August 2012, foreign nationals with a recognised university degree have had easier access to the labour market under the EU Blue Card system. To obtain the Blue Card, they must simply furnish proof of their qualifications and a concrete job offer that would provide annual gross earnings of at least 49,600 euros (2016). The approval of the Federal Employment Agency is not required.
In the case of highly qualified foreign nationals with a background in mathematics, IT, the natural sciences or technology as well as medical doctors, the EU Blue Card conditions still apply, provided they are offered the same salaries as comparable German employees and their annual gross earnings would be at least 38,688 euros (2016). In these cases the approval of the Federal Employment Agency is required.
Simplified rules on access to the labour market also apply to academics, highly qualified professionals, executives, senior employees, specialists and similar groups.
In the case of foreign nationals with vocational qualifications, such as care specialists, there are now improved options for gaining recognition for qualifications obtained abroad. In addition to this, for professions experiencing shortages, access to the German labour market has been made possible without a prior labour market test, as long as the worker's qualification is recognised as equivalent to a German qualification under the Assessment and Recognition of Foreign Professional Qualifications Act.
Further information on gaining recognition for vocational qualifications obtained abroad is available at www.anerkennung-in-deutschland.de. General information on recruitment regulations for foreign nationals is available on the websites of the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS). More information on recruitment regulations in Germany is also available on the Federal Employment Agency website,

Here you will find a Migration Check programme which you can use to obtain quick information on labour market access.
Following the expiry of the transitional arrangements pending the entry into force of full freedom of movement for workers within the EU, as of 1 May 2011 nationals of the following EU member states have enjoyed full freedom of movement for workers: the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia. Since 1 January 2014 nationals of Romania and Bulgaria have also enjoyed full freedom of movement for workers. Currently, therefore, it is only nationals of the EU member state Croatia who require a work permit in Germany. They should apply for such "EU work permits" at their local German employment agency.
Jobseeker's visa
Since 1 August 2012, foreign graduates with a German or other recognised university degree or a foreign degree comparable to a German degree will be eligible to enter Germany to seek employment. Holders of a jobseeker's visa may stay in Germany for up to six months to seek employment whilst in the country. To obtain a jobseeker's visa, applicants must simply furnish proof of their university degree and that they can support themselves for the duration of their planned stay. While seeking employment, jobseekers are not permitted to work, whether on a self-employed basis or otherwise.
Training in Germany
Third country nationals may also be granted residence permits for in-company training in Germany. This requires the approval of the Federal Employment Agency, however. Before granting approval, the Federal Employment Agency checks whether the training place has been advertised nationwide, including, if applicable, to German nationals or privileged foreign nationals (such as EU applicants).
Graduates of German schools abroad who wish to complete a qualified in‑company training course for a state-recognised or similarly accredited training occupation in Germany may be granted a residence permit without the approval of the Federal Employment Agency.
Studying in Germany
Germany is one of the world's most popular destinations for students. Training qualified foreign students in German universities is one of the German Government's top priorities. More information on requirements, framework conditions and opportunities to study in Germany is available on the website: www.hochschulkompass.de. If they complete their studies successfully, foreign nationals can extend their residence permit for up to 18 months in order to seek employment relevant to their qualification whilst here in Germany.

For further information on the topic "studying and working in Germany", please contact the information centre of the International Placement Services (ZAV) at the Federal Employment Agency (firstname.lastname@example.com).

The American Lung Association (ALA) has a tax deduction opportunity for people with vehicles they no longer need. The association's ongoing Vehicle Donation Program allows people to donate old vehicles (including cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, motor homes and boats) and then earn tax deductions. All proceeds from the program benefit people living with lung disease.
The vehicle donation process requires one simple step - a phone call. Those wishing to donate their vehicles just call the Vehicle Donation hotline. The ALA then has the vehicle towed within a few days. Tax deductions are based on a fair market value range for the vehicle.
To donate, please call the Vehicle Donation Hotline at 1-800-LUNG-USA ext. 3 or visit www.donateyourcar.com. Some restrictions apply for older vehicles. For more information on lung disease call the American Lung Association at 1-800-LUNG-USA, or visit: www.lunginfo.org.
