Mozart's ultimate opera chronicles the powers of love and of music to triumph over evil, transforming discord into radiant harmony.
Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Sung in German, with dialogue in English
Act I
The Three Ladies kill a huge serpent that was chasing Tamino, then go to inform the Queen of the Night of his arrival. Papageno introduces himself, boasting to Tamino that he was the one who slew the serpent. The Ladies return to give Tamino a portrait of Pamina, claiming she has been enslaved by Sarastro, and they temporarily padlock Papageno's mouth for lying. Tamino is charmed by the image of Pamina. The Queen appears, lamenting the loss of her daughter, and charges Tamino and Papageno with Pamina's rescue. The Ladies give Tamino a magic flute and Papageno magic bells to ensure their safety. Monostatos tries to capture Pamina but is frightened away by Papageno, who tells Pamina that Tamino loves her and intends to save her. Tamino arrives at a temple and is told that it is the Queen, not Sarastro, who is evil. He plays his flute, hoping to make Pamina appear. She and Papageno are nearby and, thanks to Papageno's magic bells, are able once again to escape from Monostatos. Sarastro promises Pamina eventual freedom. She sees Tamino outside the temple and they fall in love.
Act II
Tamino and Papageno begin the first of three initiation trials to join Sarastro's temple brotherhood. Sworn to silence, Tamino resists the temptations of the Three Ladies, but Papageno quickly succumbs. Monostatos again approaches the sleeping Pamina but is warded off by the Queen of the Night, who gives her daughter a dagger with which to murder Sarastro. Monostatos renews his quest when the Queen vanishes, but Pamina is rescued by Sarastro, who consoles her. Papageno catches a glimpse of Papagena, but is warned that he must succeed in the trials if he is to have her for a wife. Pamina is despondent over Tamino's silence, but is saved from suicide by the Three Spirits. She is reunited with Tamino and they undergo the trials by water and fire, emerging triumphant thanks to the magic flute. Papageno also is saved from attempted suicide by the Spirits, who remind him to use his magic bells to summon Papagena. The pair plans for a fertile future. The Queen of the Night, her Three Ladies, and Monostatos attack the temple brotherhood, but are defeated and the victors celebrate the triumph of enlightenment over the powers of darkness.

And my insides warm, and I imagine.
I'm really good at pretending.
Today in the nursery at church I played on the floor and ate plastic food and put together the same puzzle again and again and again
and again
and I had joy about it, I en-joyed it.
I caught Ivy side-eyeing me and I think she was trying to figure out who this was. Mommy? Because you're not really like that at home.
I mean, I try. I'm like that sometimes but it's not enough. Especially when no one is watching. But, um, my kids are so watching. Is this just another case of mom-guilt? Whatever. I'm calling myself out on it.
Why don't I just let that be how I always am? Then I won't have to fake it. Then it would really be me.
The kids pick a muffin from the coffee table at church, after every service. They get crumbs in their coat sleeves and car seats and everywhere in between. I don't mind, and that's the real me.
Ivy dropped a little toy turtle in Gray's ukulele. We shook it out. No big whoop. That's me.
I played Battleship with the boys with no interruptions, no distractions, and it was good. (That's usually not me.)
I've been praying that the things that make me selfish or lazy-mom will grow dim in my heart, be less of a desire, and that the things that are more lifeportant will be what I'll be more drawn to.
A new prayer is that I am fun Sunday School mom even when "no one" is looking.
Gosh that really sounds so incredibly cheesy. (Not me.) But I have to stop being unwilling to spill out of my comfort zone. Maybe I'll pretend it looks like mountains over there. And drive right into it.

Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS) emerge as a solution to meet continuously changing market demands of manufacturing systems. Although RMS are already reconfigurable at the mechanical level, due to the modular design they lack autonomous reprogramming of the software components. The autonomous reconfiguration of the software associated and the "plug and play" capability of the hardware components provides a new breed of RMS named Rapidly Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RRMS).The development of ICT technologies has made it possible to introduce technologies for autonomous software configurations. Ontologies represent a solution for formal knowledge representation.Ontologies implement machine-interpretable information, which enables software agents to infer sufficient knowledge to automatically select, compose and orchestrate the mechatronic components of the machines and systems.The objective of this thesis is to create a domain ontology representing the Actor-Based Assembly Systems (ABAS) concept developed at the Tampere University of Technology. Reasoning techniques are moreover presented based on the developed ontology.In order to achieve these objectives, the foundations of ontologies as forrnal representation of knowledge are surveyed. The survey goes through the foundations of ontology languages making special consideration in the Web Ontology Language, Description Logic subset (OWL DL). Tools and methodologies for modelling the domain ontology are implemented and the ABAS Domain Ontology is generated.

After nearly three years of waiting, Lanai residents are enjoying their own, full-time public health nurse.
On Oct. 30, Linda Mau officially started her job at the Lanai Community Hospital.
"I was very blessed," she said. "It's been a really smooth transition for me. There was no trouble and the people have been so gracious. They even thanked the landlord for giving me a place to stay."
Article Photos
"I was very blessed"
Mau, who worked on Maui for about 13 years, was one of the few nurses who traveled to the island after longtime nurse Jackie Woolsey retired in 2009. Before she was hired, she would travel to the island once or twice a month and help with basic health needs, including elderly case management.
Dr. Lorrin Pang, Maui District health officer with the state Department of Health, said Mau was a perfect candidate for the position because of her experience and willingness to move to Lanai.
"It's kind of a remote area," he said. "Some people love that type of life and some people dislike it . . . But she was willing to go, and she's experienced."
Pang said the position could have been filled about six months before the department transferred Mau, but the candidates had less experience and were new to the state. The department was looking for somebody who didn't need much additional training and could immediately serve the community, he said.
In a 2011 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey conducted by the department, 190 Lanai participants were asked if they were limited in any way because of health problems. Twenty-five percent answered "yes," while 16 percent of the 365 participants in Lahaina and Wailuku answered similarly.
"For the community on Lanai, that was really, really bad," said Nancy Tamashi-ro, a Lanai City resident who was one of the main advocates for the public health nurse position to be filled. "We fought for a nurse and now we have a wonderful public health nurse."
Mau said people have told her how grateful they are to have a nurse on the island and how difficult it was for the community to be without one.
Woolsey, who was the public health nurse on Lanai for 23 years and one of the founders of the community center, said Mau will not only be able to treat patients, but also follow up with them at home.
"Lanai sometimes gets forgotten and you have to be a community advocate to get recognized," she said. "Linda is a good person. . . . Now we have somebody there that can assess (patients') problems and do things like immunizations and tuberculosis testing."
Although Mau has experience with helping medically frail adults live in their own homes, she does not have as much experience in other fields.
"Lanai is the perfect environment for me to be a more generalized nurse," she said.
Mau has been a registered nurse for about 27 years. "In order to do that, I have work with the school, as far as school health. . . . It's a very small community and when things happen with other agencies, we partner with them."
She said she has begun to meet with committees such as the Lanai Domestic Violence Task Force and the Lanai Community Children's Council, and is working on programs to educate young men and women about sexual abuse.
However, one change she has already made is in disaster relief and preparedness.
The weekend she moved to the island, there was a tsunami alert, she said.
"I found out there was only one Red Cross volunteer," she said. "So we had Red Cross training in January and now we have five more volunteers. . . . I want to make sure people are knowledgeable and they have an emergency plan and kit together."

Someone with no sense of what is cool but insists that they do. They constantly crack bad jokes that are insulting and have little humor. Their egos are as big as their over-inflated heads. Their laughter is loud and obnoxious and is usually directed toward their own jokes. They will try to make you feel like scum on the bottom of their foot when in reality they would be lucky to be scum on the bottom of yours. Also a wanna-be preppy sell-out.
Fabec is the biggest douche bag that I know. Also--> God! You're such a douche bag.

A person that only wants a girl for sex then finds out she won't give it to him, and decides to screw with other girls. He also likes to lie to girls and tell them how much has changed and how he respects them and their wishes. After he has convinced the girl of this, he pushes their limits, ignores what they say, and eventually gets what he wants from someone who will give it to him.
Boys whose names start with R trick me into thinking that they are really sweet, nice, and respectful of my morals. Unfortunately, they turn into douche bags and decide to be deceitful and lie... a lot.

A person that thinks they are extremely cool or special because they have an iPhone, iPad, or other Apple product. These people tend to be unusually "excited" about their mediocre devices and try extremely hard to let everyone know that they have one by displaying it at all possible times. These people are typically unpaid walking shills for Apple, eager to praise any and all moves made by the company including the emotional/ blabbering defense of any perceived affront.
Look at that douchebag sitting in Starbucks with his iPad propped up on the table turned so everyone can see. Poor schmuck probably thinks it's a laptop. What's that pressed to his temple? Oh of course, an iPhone4. Looks like he can't get good reception, he must be holding it wrong. lol.

One who boasts about his accomplishments. Usually associated with the term meat-head and or tool. One who puts shirtless pictures of himself on facebook trying to impress the ladies and or dudes. Most douchebags lack girlfriends or undeservingly have an extremely hot girlfriend. There really isnt an in-between. Uses terms like "big, huge, or ripped" when describing himself or "bro, or broseph" when talking about his pals. Usually does not realize his douchebaginess, and thinks he is being cool or impressing when really he is just making himself look like a moron. Usually referred to as "THAT GUY" when outsiders refer to him in response to his douchebaggy behavior.

I don't have a PS3 but i've heard great things about Journey and the overall experience outweighs the short game length. I'm not even entirely sure exactly what style of game it is.
If anyone is looking for a cheap and reasonably expansive gaming experience, check out Dust: An Elysian Tail. It's an arcade title (not sure if it's on PS3) and it was just phenomenal. It's only fifteen bucks, it's anime style which I am not a fan of but I got completely sucked into this game. It's a side scrolling RPG similar to old Castlevania games, and everything about it is amazing. One guy developed it completely by himself and it was originally an "indie" game brought to life because of how great the final game turned out to be.

Three years after the release of their last album, Green Day released three albums simultaneously, a trilogy collectively known as ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tre! The American punk band invited aspiring filmmakers to pick any song from one of their three new albums and create a music video to represent what the song means to them. The winner will not only have their video featured on Green Days's official website, but is also set to receive a Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital Camera and be featured in an interview on Green Day's website.
Additionally, four finalists will be picked, and each of their videos would be featured on the website as well.
Kyle Stein won this contest with his animated music video "Nuclear Family." This was Kyle's first Flash animation, and as he was concerned an animated video wouldn't qualify for the contest, it must have come as a pleasant surprise when his video won both the winner and the highest voted. Good job, Kyle!
Winner: Kyle Stein
Below are the videos from finalists Eric Thomas Craven, Jacob Fitzgerald, Cristian Scardigno, and Jamison Donoho. Congratulations!

A somatic EGFR mutation in the tumors of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients has been identified and implicated in the development of resistance to the anticancer antibody cetuximab. Cell-based studies by scientists at the Hospital del Mar in Barcelona, and collaborators, initially found that a mutation in the cetuximab-binding domain of EGFR is acquired as a result of prolonged cetuximab treatment. This particular mutation effectively changes the EGFR protein sequence and structure of its extracellular domain, which stops cetuximab, but not panibumumab, from binding to the receptor and blocking EGFR activation and signaling.
Subsequent analysis of human mCRC samples showed the same sequence change in the EGFR epitope can occur as a result of cetuximab therapy in a clinical setting. Encouragingly, switching an eligible patient who carried this mutation and had also developed cetuximab resistance to another EGFR antibody, panitumumab, led to significant liver tumor regression.
Reporting in Nature Medicine, Joan Albanell, M.D., and colleagues, claim their findings have important clinical implications for mCRC, and other tumor types treated using cetuximab, and merit the development of tests to detect the mutation in mCRC patients treated using cetuximab. Their paper is titled "Identification of a mutation in the extracellular domain of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor conferring cetuximab resistance in colorectal cancer."
The researchers started by treating an mCRC cell line with cetuximab continuously for five months to establish drug resistance. This cell line, DiFi, is wild-type for KRAS, BRAF, and PI3K, and has an amplification of EGFR.
Anayses of clones from the resulting cetuximab-resistant cells confirmed that they were unaffected by treatment with this particular drug in terms of proliferation, apoptosis, or EGFR signaling to exracellular-related kinase (ERK) and protein kinase B (AKT). They were, conversely, just as sensitive to the EGFR kinase inhibitor gefitinib as the cetuximab-sensitive DiFi parental cells, suggesting that cetuximab-resistance wasn't associated with any less dependence on EGFR for growth and survival. The cetuximab-resistant clones also retained sensitivity to the antibody panitumumab, which blocked EGFR activation. The clones had acquired no mutations in KRAS, BRAF, and PIK3CA, or demonstrated any loss of PETN expression.
The results thus far indicated that the acquisition of cetuximab resistance may have been associated with a change in the EGFR cetuximab-binding epitope. Supporting this hypothesis, DNA sequencing of the EGFR coding region showed that all three cetuximab-resistant clones had acquired a C to A substitution at nucleotide 1,476 (C1476A), which wasn't present in the antibody-sensitive parental cells. The C1476A mutation causes a substitution of serine to arginine at amino acid 492 (S492R), which is within the EGFR ectodomain: "a bulky side chain at this position could interfere with cetuximab binding," the authors write.
Furthermore, in fibroblasts engineered to express the S492R mutant EGFR, treatment with the anticancer antibody panitumumab was capable of blocking EGFR activation, but cetuximab wasn't. Moreover, only panitumumab was able to bind to the mutant EGFR-expressing cells. "In vitro biochemical binding studies confirmed that the S492R mutant is selectively defective in binding cetuximab but not panitumumab," the team adds.
When the investigators moved on to look more closely at EGFR in human mCRC, they couldn't detect the S492R mutation in any tumors from chemotherapy-naive patients, or from those who hadn't received a targeted agent. However, when they looked at pre- and post-therapy specimens from 10 patients who had experienced disease progression after prior response to cetuximab with chemotherapy, the S492R mutation was found in two subjects. One patient had the same C1476A EGFR mutation as the cetuximab-resistant DiFi clones, while the other had a different mutation that resulted in the same S492R change in the EGFR protein.
Encouragingly, while one of these two patients had already succumbed to the disease at the time of sample analysis, the other was offered panitumumab monotherapy, and after two months of treatment showed a more than 50% decline in the volume of liver lesions, and a marked decline in the carcinoembryonic antigen blood marker. This patient did subsequently demonstrate disease progression after five months of panitumumab therapy.
The Spanish researchers say their findings may provide a molecular basis for the clinical benefit of panitumumab in a subset of subjects with mCRC who don't respond to cetuximab therapy. "These findings have substantial immediate clinical implications for persons with mCRC," they write. "The specificity of the S492R mutation is expected to facilitate reliable testing to guide the clinical use of panitumumab after cetuximab failure and justifies prospective independent validation of the S492R EGFR mutation. It will also be of interest to determine whether this mutation contributes to the acquisition of cetuximab resistance in other tumor types."

"The Whizz Pop Chocolate Shop" by Kate Saunders; Delacorte Press, $16.99.
A talking cat, a rat who likes to smoke cigarettes, chocolate with magic properties, a special British spy agency that investigates magic occurrences and a plot to take over the world are all mixed together in this entertaining book from a British author.
The Spoffard family – 11-year-old twins Oz and Lily, their parents plus a baby on the way – has inherited a house on Skittle Street in London over what was once the family chocolate shop run by triplets Pierre, Marcel and evil Isadore. (Isadore arranged the fatal 1938 tram accident that sent both Pierre and Marcel and other passengers to a watery grave in the River Thames.) With their parents blissfully unaware of what's really going on, Oz and Lily and a neighbor boy are recruited by the spy agency to try to recover a missing gold chocolate mold belonging to the triplets so Isadore can't sell his secret chocolate recipe for immortality to crooks who want to destroy the world. But a scuba diving expedition in the River Thames goes terribly wrong and one of the twins ends up kidnapped. Now what?
Saunders creates many nifty settings including a hideout in an abandoned subway stop. Her book is often funny and exciting but it has its heart-filled moments too. Other books by this author: "Beswitched," "Magicalamity."

The Underground Railroad wasn't a real railroad. It was a system that allowed escaping slaves from the South to travel to the North to be free, especially during the 1850s and '60s. The slaves followed routes called "lines." People who helped the slaves along the lines were called "conductors." Houses along the way where slaves hid were "stations." The slaves themselves were called "packages."

Miley must face new political realities
June 24, 2013
Tim Miley, elected Tuesday as the new speaker of the West Virginia House of Delegates, has been saying all the right things during the past couple of weeks....
If any democrat wishes to stay in office, they better stop trying to shove their own personal hatred of our RIGHTS under the Constitution and subverting them with their own ideas down our throats. Gun control better disappear SOON. Forcing christians to do and accept things we will NEVER accept better stop asap; and staying the heck out of our personal lives and stop taxing us on everything that moves or doesn't move.
Democrats have got a lot of 'changing' to do before next election. I, for one, have had enough. For first time....I will NOT vote for a democrat!!! Things are worse than I've ever seen them and still all they want to do is tax, tax tax and spend more.

The Democrats see the writing on the wall. Some of them KNOW they really showed their stupidity and arrogance once Obama got into office and that there is gonna be he** to pay come election day. These arrogant bums on the left thumbed their noses at the people....blatantly told the people that they were gonna do whatever they wanted to do and they didn't care what the people thought......so we don't care what YOU want arrogant dems....we're firing you all!!! That is exactly why lots of these bozos are resigning, QUITTING like the babies they are. Rockefeller isn't running again either after he's received letters from his constituents telling him what they think of him too. None of them have the manly characteristic to stand up and fight once the people engage them about their childish & unacceptable behaviors. Wimps. Crooks. Useless children.

HTC One vs Apple iPhone 5
The HTC One comes with a big, 2300mAh battery required by its large display and quad-core chip running at high clock speeds. The Apple iPhone 5 in comparison only features a 1440mAh battery. Neither batteries are removable.
Using the HTC One for around a week, we can say that it easily gets us through a day of moderate usage and the iPhone typically lasts a bit longer.
Battery life
The HTC One and Apple iPhone 5 bring out the best of modern smartphones. Both stand out with their distinctive, gorgeous design and solid aluminum build. Both have stunningly sharp, vivid, amazing displays.
Despite all those similarities, though, there is an equally clear difference. The HTC One has a larger display with higher resolution and runs on Android, while the iPhone 5 is a small handset made for convenient one-handed use and living on Apple's iOS ecosystem.
The iPhone 5's camera is the better all-around performer while the HTC One performs admirably in low-light videos because of its superior clarity and sound.
It's quite clear that you can't go wrong with either of these amazing smartphones. At this point, picking one of the two all boils down to your personal priorities...

Why does this conclusion say it's down to personal preference on which device is better while the comparisons to the GSIII and Lumia 920 say that the One is the clear victor? The iPhone 5 can not be that much better than the other two devices?
27. EspHack (Posts: 70; Member since: 04 Sep 2012)
exactly what i was going to say, thank you, lets wait for the xperia z they would say the same i guess

Please don't thumb me down for choosing the iPhone 5 >_

7. wendygarett (unregistered)
I actually choose it for my sympathy, coz nobody will choose iPhone 5 anyway :)
31. AnTuTu (Posts: 1580; Member since: 14 Oct 2012)
Well done Wendy at the end :p

Interesting. I like both devices but I'd prefer the HTC One over the iPhone simply because I have always been an HTC diehard. I'm actually impressed with HTC this go around just for trying something different. As for Apple, I hope they can wow me with the iPhone 5s. Not saying the iPhone 5 is bad, it just seemed to only be an iPhone 4s with a 4 inch screen and beefier GPU. Tbh, the only way a screen bigger than 4 inches could work on an iPhone is if the next iOS gets more live features and a better multitasking ability.
When it comes to just looking at hardware.... For me it'd be a hard choice alone. But if you dive into software, I believe the HTC One is superior in the majority of aspects. I am interested in trying out blink feed to see if it does make social media any more convenient.
All and all, it depends on the personal taste of the people but I like HTC and their efforts and I really hope Apple tries to bring something different in the iPhone 5s/6 just to show they are off this entire "we are apple and because our name is apple, we will remain relevant even if we produce phones we like and don't listen to our consumers on what they would want to see in an iPhone."

One crushes IPhone, of course if it pleases you PA.
one thing which is interesting to me is every 2013 must be compared with S3 and IP5 while there are new 2013 flagships like XZ and Optimus G pro.
then people call me butthurt Sony fanboy!!
9. cezarepc (Posts: 714; Member since: 23 Nov 2012)
What I really want to see is a full on battle royale:
HTC One
Sony Xperia Z
LG Optimus G Pro
Samsung Galaxy S4
Nokia Lumia 920
iPhone5 and Lumias only excel in the camera dept and build quality. I'm not saying they are bad, but definitely not worth comparing to current top-shelf androids.
6. GeekMovement (Posts: 2156; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
I didn't even realize iPhone5 had such a horrible battery. 1440mAH? No wonder the battery life is short lived. I always see my friends borrowing each other's iPhones because theirs ran out of juice. It's sad.
HTC One has a gorgeous design. So sleek and modern.
11. bucky (Posts: 2582; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
Funny, I have opposite experience.
19. zeropants (Posts: 32; Member since: 31 May 2012)
I have had great battery life on the iPhone 5. Specs don't typically translate well between devices in reviews. Processors, battery size, ram, etc are all dependent on multiple factors. It's why you can still pick up a 1GHz Windows Phone 7 device and it's smooth, but on Android it can lag. It's why a 1440mAH battery on an iPhone 5 can get me through a fairly busy day with 40% battery left but I'd need 2000mAH on an Android device. And why having a larger processor on Android does wonders for it's multitasking and background application efficiency, but doesn't seem to matter as much on Windows Phone 8.
You can directly measure displays, cameras, and download/upload speeds. After that, it's largely based on preference unless you're sticking with the same OS type.

Galaxy Note 2 beats em both rather easily.
18. JDogg5281 (Posts: 64; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
Idk about all of that...I have the Note 2 and I dont think it easily beats the htc one if at all. Iphone 5 yes...but thats not saying much cause you can name 10 phones that do that
26. phonemirer (Posts: 111; Member since: 07 Dec 2012)
man, there are like 15 or more, but i5 is 2012, anyway i5s is gonna be the same, apple is obsolete since 2011
10. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
Htc one easily beats the iPhone5 in all categories maybe just except the camera since both of them have their strenghts and weaknesses
12. bucky (Posts: 2582; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
Nice htc phone for sure but to say it beats it (and easily at that) shows me you're a fanboy.
Software updates? Ecosystem? Support? Accessories? Apps? Software (preference)? Size (preference)?
14. oying24 (Posts: 48; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
i agree with apps and eco.. ios version of apps are so good compare to android versions..thats a fact btw.
16. boosook (Posts: 1437; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
Well, Google's ecosystems is now huge: everything is integrated and synchronized: contacts, calendar, mail, music, books, apps, searches, maps, files (google drive), social (g+), photos (g+ and picasa), automatic backups, cloud printing... there's everything you need. It reaches a level of integration IMHO that nobody can match now. The apps talk to each other and interact. Once you start using all the features, it's hard to come back.
Software updates: since the One is not a Nexus, these are up to HTC, but I think that they won't repeat the mistakes they did in the past and it will be upgraded at least to android 5. These OS are really capable and I think you'll have what you need for years to come, considering that in google's ecosystem many new feature are released as applications and not necessarily as system updates.
Apps: there still may be some apps that exist only for iphone, but I think this happens now only in a few particular cases. The play store is huge, you can find everything you need.
Accessories: there are plenty of accessories for Android phones, I can't see any problem.
Software (preference): of course, as you say, this is just a preference. I think that Android has become much more capable than iOS, but that's just my opinion.
Support: that's up to HTC, and to be sincere I don't know if it's good or not.
And you can't ignore the fact that for the same or even lower price you get a more capable hardware, and I'm not talking only about a copule of MHz more: we have a bigger and sharper full HD screen (a plus to watch photos or read ebooks), double front speakers, camera with optical stabilizer, double-membrane microphones with HDR audio recording... these are hardware features that will positively affect everyday use for many users.
So when we compare something to the iphone we always assume that the iphone is better and we say "let's see if this will come close" and we start comparing the strong points of the iphone ignoring its weaknesses. We should also do the opposite: take the strong points of other phones and point out that they are missing in the iphone. And then everybody can choose.

"and this is how you know if the user is asian." just joking, i like android better since it gives the user freedom to customize. that's it.

20. riku242244 (Posts: 4; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Phonearena you never let iPhone down
22. bucky (Posts: 2582; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
It's the best selling PHONE! Why would they not compare it?
23. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
If you want a phone for just talking and texting with good camera, then sure the iPhone 5 wins. But, if you do a whole lot more then the One is the clear winner.
24. gixxerrider311 (Posts: 25; Member since: 14 Mar 2012)
Both of these smarthphones have an awesome design. Too bad Verizon won't be getting the HTC One since is what I wanted to get, I definitely won't be getting the S4, when I hold the S3 in my hand it doesn't feel like a premium device, design and feel is a must for me. I guess I'll wait and see what Apple does on the iPhone 5S (Hopefully an os revamp). Either Android or iOS meets my needs so I'm not biased towards one over the other.
25. zippolite28 (Posts: 106; Member since: 28 Sep 2012)
I just want to see htc one screen ... I really hate my sony xperia z screen ... its too bad soo brigt black looks like gray
28. zizicomments (Posts: 5; Member since: 15 Mar 2013)
reading a few lines of the review and u just know the reviewer is biased towards the iphone,its just logic,i wont go to a phone shop and pick up a 2012 phone over a 2013 released phone oh hell no!! plus the htc already killed the iphone5 so reviewer plsss,boomsound ,full hd screen,zoe,binkfeed extra sleek model like body i like to try these out,everyone forgets the htc one simply has a 4mp cam and if its able to closely perform and out perform the 8mp cam then htc must be cooking some software in there,i love night parties i believe every dude out there can relate to this ,so why not the htc one ,stop the icrap bull.$.it
30. Android4u (Posts: 456; Member since: 16 Aug 2012)
Wow pa...just admit the ONE is better!! Stop with all that personal perference crap... Back in the day's you guys had no problem letting everyone know iPhone was the winner when u did your comparisons....but now when we have smartphones that actually s*** on apple, you guys say personal perference....give it a break you guys.. don't be surprised when the galaxy s4 is compared with ip5 they say personal perference lol
32. oying24 (Posts: 48; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
and your nickname is not biased.. a big LOL
33. G00GLE (Posts: 1; Member since: 21 Mar 2013)
I was born in 1998 and my first device I ever owned was an iPhone 3GS. At that time I didn't know what to expect but I pretty much loved it. At this point in time everyone loved Apple and thought they were great and so did I. After sometime, new Android smartphones were being introduced into the market and prior to this, my first thought was "Wow everyone is copying Apple and stealing they're ideas but whatever they do Apple is still the best!". I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only thinking this because then Apple would have never gained so much popularity and hype. Its 2013 now and people have higher expectations and have a larger desire now a days. Not just HTC but Samsung, Google, LG (and other company's).....are packing they're devices with creative features and high specs that will hopefully exceed the average user's expectation. Apple is still in the mindset that making minor improvements to the hardware and OS is enough to please their customers and think that the popularity they have earned is going to last for a long time. Well I hate to break it to you because your popularity is slowly starting to fade away and a lot of us out there think its time for a change. As for this article- it's definitely a no brainer the HTC One is much better than the iPhone even if it's a little more expensive. I might be an Android fanboy but that doesn't mean I don't have any sympathy for Apple too. Apple is a great company just that they might have to step up their competition if they would like to stay that way.

iPhone is a good seller for it's simplicity and marketing. HTC, which I prefer, tries very hard to inovate with the 1st EVO, EVO 3d, and now with the One. They have the beats technology now they should colaborate with Kodak along with increasing their marketing.
35. brycent (Posts: 1; Member since: 22 Mar 2013)
htc one almost beat the iphone 5 in every category... only in the camera has no clear winner coz both phone have its ups and down. the bad thing is phonearena love the iphone 5 even if it is beaten by htc one in every category lol!!!!
36. tehcaucasianasian (Posts: 11; Member since: 30 Aug 2013)
Sigh, another review where the iPhone 5 is treated as if it's the phone of gods. The iPhone 5 isn't a bad phone by any means, but comparing it to the HTC One? I feel like Apple is paying you guys to keep tieing or praising the iPhone against its competitors. In all of these reviews, if the Android device is better in a certain category, you brush it off and keep going; if the iPhone 5, however, wins a category, you start treating it like it's pure gold. I would really like non-biased reviews, or you might as well just call yourselves iPhoneArena

Allegiance Mobile Health Coach (appointments open) – Adrian
The Allegiance Mobile Health Coach will be coming Adrian. Starting this month, this well-equipped coach will arrive at the practice parking lot of Paul Byrnes, MD, located at 721 Riverside Avenue in Adrian. Patients will be seen on the 2nd Tuesday of the month and the 4th Thursday of the month by appointment.
The Allegiance Mobile Health Coach is staffed by skilled, caring professionals who provide bone density screens for men and women, as well as digital mammography, in a private, convenient and comfortable setting.
Digital mammography looks and feels similar to conventional mammography, but it provides physicians with clear, digital images of the breast, rather than images on film. This technology allows radiologists to adjust contrast and zoom in on suspicious area. Digital mammograms can be quickly and efficiently stored on a computer and electronically sent to physician offices.
The American Cancer Society recommends that women age 40 and older have a mammogram every year for as long as they are in good health. Following this guideline increases the chances of early diagnosis and successful treatment.
Bone density screens determine if the presence of osteoporosis—a disease that can impact both men and women by causing bones to become fragile and more likely to break.
A bone density screen uses X-rays to measure how much calcium and other bone minerals are packed into a section of bone. The bones that are most commonly tested are located in the spine, hip and forearm. The higher the bone mineral content, the denser the bones are. The denser the bones, the stronger they generally are and the less likely they are to break.
The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends a bone density test for men and women who are age 50 with a history of a broken bone. Men older than 70, and women who are 65 or older, postmenopausal or have recently stopped hormone therapy should also be tested.
To schedule an appointment for a mammogram or a bone density screen at the Allegiance Mobile Health Coach, please call (517) 263-6378.
Important information to note prior to making an appointment:
· Bone density screens require an order from the patient's health care provider.
· Mammograms do not require a physician order; however, the patient must provide the name of her physician in order to receive the results of her mammogram.

Courtesy of Alan Wayne Wyatt family
Courtesy of Alan Wayne Wyatt family
It�s hard to comprehend why a seasoned, cautious logger became the only firefighter to die fighting the Missionary Ridge Fire, say those who knew him best.
Alan Wayne Wyatt was on Middle Mountain near Vallecito Reservoir on July 2, 2002, when a live, 20-inch aspen toppled without warning behind him, striking him in the head.
It was his first day on the job.
Wyatt, who was 51, was a gregarious rancher, rodeo cowboy and volunteer firefighter. But he turned serious when, as a lay preacher, he took up the scriptures at nondenominational church services or Bible study groups in eastern Oregon, Vikki Wyatt, his wife, said by telephone from Lakeview, Ore., where she now lives.
�He was a gifted cowboy preacher who spoke from the hip,� Wyatt said. �I miss him because it was a great partnership.�
The couple would have marked their 42nd wedding anniversary this year.
As a timber faller, Wyatt was a professional with absolute attention to detail, Ron Jerabek Wallace said from Costa Rica, where he now lives.
�He was a cowboy who gave a unique twist to the Bible,� said Jerabek Wallace, who worked as a timber faller with Wyatt in Alaska and arrived in Durango with him from the Million Fire in the San Luis Valley.
Gary Krauss, who as a teenager was about 10 years younger than Alan Wyatt when he lived with the couple, learned to fall and buck timber from his mentor.
�It was black and white with Alan, no gray,� Krauss said. �Everything had to be done correctly. He was a very astute timber faller with an appreciation for the craft.�
The wind had blown incredibly hard on July 2, hard enough to topple live aspen, Krauss said. But it subsided in the afternoon.
�When the aspen crushed Alan, I was some distance away,� Krauss said. �I ran with my chain saw and bucked the log.
�He had a pulse but he was done for.�
Krauss finished the back cut on the tree Wyatt was cutting because very little wood was holding it.
�It was ironic,� Krauss said. �Alan faced the first tree I fell and I sawed out the last tree he faced.�

Randolph County Commission meetings will no longer open with a moment of silent meditation - instead, they'll commence with the recitation of a standard prayer.
At the request of several area residents-namely, pastor Mike House and the Rev. Stephen Pyle - the commission considered and approved a request to open each commission meeting with a prayer at Thursday's regular meeting.
Commission President Chris See announced that after several weeks of contemplation, the commission had finally come to a conclusion about the course it would take.
"We wanted to do some research before we jumped into any hasty decision," See said. "We have put together this prayer that will hopefully keep us out of trouble and make everyone happy." See said commissioners would take turns reading it at the outset of each meeting.
See then recited the prayer, which reads, "Father God...You know why we are here...You know the hearts of all men and women. Remind us today of the urgency of being prepared to serve our fellow human beings in the time of need. Help us, as helping agents, always to be available to the collective, as well as the individual needs of others in times of emergency and when people are in stressful and hurting situations.
"Give us an understanding of the reasons why we exist and serve. We affirm today, O'Lord, that a better community and a better Randolph County and a better America begins with us. Bless now this gathering and may God bless Randolph County and God bless America."
Pyle, who was present at Thursday's meeting, questioned why the commission had omitted the name of Jesus Christ from the prayer.
"In my faith, we always say, 'in the name of Jesus Christ,'" Pyle told commissioners. "He said He's the truth and the way and the life. At the name of Jesus is where the power is. This says 'Father God,' but I really believe we ought to honor His Son as well. That is my inference and my feeling on this."
Commissioner Mike Taylor told Pyle that the commission was trying to accommodate his request without offending people of other faiths.
"We are trying to keep it generic and being careful not to offend any other religions," Taylor said. "Our job is not to promote one religion over another. That's not the role of county government, but we have agreed to say a prayer, and that's the prayer it's going to be.
"I respect your opinion and we could fill the room with everyone who has a different view," Taylor added.
Taylor also stressed that the commissioners - not ministers, pastors or priests - would take turns saying the prayer.
"I guess a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step," Pyle replied.

About Learning Communities
About Westminster's Learning Communities
What are Learning Communities?
Learning Communities include a variety of curricular structures that link together two or more existing courses so that students have opportunities for deeper understanding and integration of the material they are learning, and more interaction with one another and their teachers as fellow participants in the learning enterprise.
What do Learning Communities look like at Westminster College?
Learning Communities at Westminster link two classes together with a common theme. Typically, at least one of the classes also fulfills a liberal education requirement. Sometimes, a course is paired with an INTR course which is a course designed for first-year students as a seminar class that focuses on issues about beginning college life. The majorities of learning community classes are designed for first-year students and are NOT upper division (300 level) credit.
Do I have to sign up for both classes of a Learning Community?
Yes, this is an absolute must. If you choose not to take one of the courses, you must drop the other course also.
Is there a list of Learning Communities offered each semester?
A list of current courses can be obtained from the START Center.
Who teaches the Learning Communities?
Learning Communities are taught primarily by full-time faculty members. This is one of the bonuses of Learning Communities. You get to meet and interact with professors who have chosen to teach first-year students as part of their responsibilities at Westminster.
Do I have to take a Learning Community?
If you entered Westminster during the Fall of 2006 (or after this date) as a first-year student, you will need to take at least one learning community during your first year here. Take a look at the list of Learning Communities to see which one you will choose. There are a fixed number of learning communities offered each semester, so you may not be able to register for your first choice.
How can I tell if a course is a Learning Community?
The Learning Communities courses have an "LC" that appears after the course number. For example, PSYC*105*01LC is a learning community class in psychology that is paired with another ENGL*110*04LC learning community class.
What if I only need one of the courses offered in a Learning Community?
If you only need one of the courses, enroll for a section of the course that is not a learning community (LC). Multiple sections of liberal education courses are generally available.
Why would I want to enroll in a Learning Community?
The best advertising for Learning Communities comes from students who have participated in them! Here's what students are saying:
What is the grading policy for Learning Communities?
If you are enrolled in a learning community, you will receive a grade for each of the courses for which you have registered. It is possible to receive a different grade in each course.
I would like additional information about Learning Communities. Who can help me?
Please feel free to contact Dr. Barbara Schulz Smith, the Director of Learning Communities. She can be reached at email@example.com or 801-832-2420 or in Foster 403. The START Center and the Registrar's Office are also able to provide information.

And it matters which one you pick, because it matters to users: Miss on a crucial geo-feature and people are going to stop using your app. When it first launched, Apple Maps was the reason I almost left the iPhone all together.

Here at the BMS Graduate Program, it is not just professors who make the headlines. Last week it was announced that our own Johannes Fahrmann, a Ph.D. candidate and Vice-President of the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Student Organization (GSO), organized an event that raised nearly $18,000 for the American Cancer Society.
The event, "GRΣΣKS AGAINST CANCER," was a coordinated effort between Marshall's Relay-For-Life, the GSO and the Marshall Greek Community. It was one of the biggest collaborative efforts ever to take place between Marshall University student organizations to raise money for a local charity.
More than 600 Marshall students were involved, and Johannes hopes that the media exposure this event receives will help motivate others to join the fight against cancer.
The funds will be used at the local level to fund future research projects and to assist with patient care. The majority of the money will stay in Huntington and also benefit the surrounding counties.
In addition to serving as Vice-President of the GSO, Johannes is currently the Community Service and Philanthropy Alumni Advisor for Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity. He has been a member of Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity since 2005 and held numerous positions in the organization. He has also served as president of Marshall University's Relay-For-Life and still actively participates in the organization's local functions.
The event is Johannes's brainchild and something that he has wanted to do for a long time. He originally pitched the idea to the Greek advisors at Marshall and then brought the idea to the entire Greek Community. The competition kicked off February 8th and ran for two months. The winning fundraising team received a flat screen TV donated by the GSO.
At the culmination of the event, Johannes said, "When I originally presented this idea, I would have never imagined that it would have been so successful. Today we, the Greek Community, showed our loved ones and friends who have had or are currently battling cancer that we will fight by their side, that we will fight cancer and that we will win! I am forever grateful to the Greek Community and participating parties. This was truly a powerful statement on behalf of the Greek Community and Marshall University."
Congratulations, Johannes!

Have Questions About the Temporary High Risk Health Insurance Pool?
The health reform law creates a temporary national high-risk pool that will be created to provide health coverage to people with pre-existing medical conditions who have been uninsured for six months. It is a temporary measure designed to bridge the gap until the implementation of other coverage provisions in the law that will take effect in January 2014. The law establishes basic requirements for the high-risk pool program that will be implemented in June 2010.
Read a letter from Douglas W. Elmendorf, Director of the Congressional Budget Office, explaining provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, Public Law 111-148) regarding high-risk insurance pools.
The federal government will run the high risk pools for the 18 states that refused to run insurance pools for those with preexisting conditions at the state level. Twenty-nine states plus the District of Columbia will run the high-risk insurance pools with the remaining 5 states still undecided on what they will do.
For more information, read the National Institute for Health Care Reform's Health Coverage for the High-Risk Uninsured: Policy Options for Design of the Temporary High-Risk Pool. Also, the Kaiser Family Foundation has issued an "Explaining Health Reform" brief on the temporary high risk pools and answers basic questions about the program. To access this information, visit http://www.kff.org/healthreform/upload/8066.pdf.
Are Your Congressional Members Cosponsors of S. 717 or H.R. 2366?
The 21st Century Cancer ALERT Act (S. 717) and the Cancer Coverage Parity Act (H.R. 2366) include important cancer research, prevention, early detection, and treatment provisions. Have your Congressional Members cosponsored these bills? If not, please take a few moments to visit the Advocacy Action Center at www.advocacy.myeloma.org to send an e-mail today.
Longtime Incumbents Lose in Primary Races
Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA), a long time advocate for cancer research, lost his first bid for re-election after his 2009 party switch to Representative Joe Sestak (D-PA) in Pennsylvania's Democratic Senate primary. Sestak will face former Representative Patrick J. Toomey (R-PA) in November.
Representative Alan Mollohan (D-WV) lost to state Senator Mike Oliverio in a contentious Democratic primary in which the congressman's ethical behavior was the dominant issue. Mollohan lost to Oliverio by 56 percent to 44 percent in what was the toughest intraparty race for the congressman since he was first elected in 1982.

Kerman dairyman Brian Pacheco to receive "Award of Distinction" from UC Davis
Kerman dairyman Brian Pacheco to receive "Award of Distinction" from UC Davis
Brian Pacheco, a fourth-generation dairyman from Kerman, Calif., will be honored Oct. 5 by his alma mater, the University of California, Davis, with an "Award of Distinction" from the university's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CA&ES).
The award is presented annually to those whose contributions and achievements enhance the college's ability to provide cutting-edge research, top-notch education, and innovative outreach. Pacheco is being recognized among "Outstanding Alumni" for his exemplary work in dairy industry and community groups and for advocating on behalf of UC Davis. Seven other people—faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of the college—will also receive the award.
"The Award of Distinction recipients are highly accomplished, as well as influential in their daily lives, and we are honored by their strong connection to and support of our college," said Mary Delany, interim CA&ES dean. "We look forward to recognizing these eight remarkable people at our annual fall harvest celebration where we step aside from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life to celebrate the vital linkage of such individuals to our mission of serving the public good by advancing agriculture, human communities and the environment."
Pacheco earned his Bachelor of Science degree in 1991 in agricultural and managerial economics with a minor in rhetoric and communications. His Pacheco Dairy, Inc., with 1,300 Holstein cows and an elite group of purebred Brown Swiss cows, is a model of environmental stewardship and has been recognized as a top-producing herd in Fresno County every year since 1998.
In addition to serving as president of the Fresno County Farm Bureau, Pacheco serves on boards for the Community Regional Medical Center and the Fresno Dairy Herd Improvement Association. He is chairman of the board of California Dairies, Inc. (CDI), the largest dairy cooperative in California and the second largest in the United States. Pacheco is president of the board of trustees for the Kerman Unified School District, and is a member of the Nisei Farmers League, Sun-Maid Raisin Growers, and Western United Dairymen.
He has played a crucial role in building support for a future dairy at UC Davis. At a special meeting with fellow dairy producers, Pacheco explained how his UC Davis education has helped him excel in the dairy business and made a compelling case for a new dairy at the university.
"He pointed out that a dairy facility on campus made sense because that's where the students are, some of whom will be working for the benefit of the dairy producers in the future," said UC Davis animal science professor Ed DePeters. "Brian emphasized that although many producers might be unaware of it, the research conducted at UC Davis impacts their daily life on the dairy farm from areas in animal science to plant science to economics and marketing."

Banana Coconut Cookies (grain-free, sugar-free, vegan)
Using mashed, ripe bananas in recipes is a really simple, nutritious way to replace sugar. I've used it before in my sugar-free, grain-free Carob Banana Bars and in these lovely Teff Pancakes. My four year old twins keep asking to cook in the kitchen, and if I don't step in right away, they take over and begin cooking on their own. Hmm, I wouldn't have any idea why that would be! Lately cookies have been on their minds.
Yesterday one of them asked if we could make cookies "with that cookie flour" and bananas. The following recipe is what transpired. "That cookie flour" is blanched almond flour. We just ordered a box of it and split it with a friend. This is a good way to save some money.....buy in bulk and split orders between two or more families.
Banana Coconut Cookies
These cookies are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. They are only slightly sweet and high in protein, making them a nutritious after school snack served along side carrot and celery sticks. You can add mini chocolate chips to some of them if desired though this will add a little bit of cane sugar. You could replace the 2 tablespoons of maple syrup with more banana if you don't want any sweetener.
Wet Ingredients:
1/3 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 medium)
1/3 cup melted coconut oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon organic almond flavoring
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups blanched almond flour
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
In a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk together the wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients and mix together using a fork. Form dough into ball and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Form dough into small balls (about 15) and place onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie ball with the palm of your hand. Bake for about 15 minutes. Cookies will be soft straight out of the oven but will firm up once completely cool. You can place them onto a wire rack to cool and then place the rack into your freezer for quick cooling.

This recipe looks great! Since I'm paleo, I'll try to make it without the maple syrup. I'm sure it would be just as good. Thanks for posting this!ReplyDelete
I'm not very familiar with the Paleo diet. Why would maple syrup not be included? (just curious is all)ReplyDelete
Looks perfect to me just the way they are. I love the combination of flavors.ReplyDelete
Oh, those boys of yours are smart little cookies, Ali! Pun intended. ;-) These ingredients are the best. I love cookies made with almond flour. (I just shared some Almond Coffee Chocolate Chip ones today.) Plus, I happen to have all the other ingredients for these. Yippee! Thanks to you and your budding twin chefs!ReplyDelete
I'm afraid I'm going to have to unsubscribe from your blog updates. I saw these when I checked my email an immediately got up and left a writing project to bake them. These are so good. The whole family agreed. Now back to work and I hope there will be no more yummy recipes hitting my mailbox soon. :)ReplyDelete

I just pulled them out of the freezer. The verdict: perfect! I happened to be out of vanilla extract and decided to toss in a pinch of both vanilla powder and nutmeg. I highly recommend this variation. Love, love the egg-free desserts you create for us, thank you!ReplyDelete
These look great!ReplyDelete
Is blanched almond flour equivalent to almond meal? Just curious as I have that but not "blanched almond flour"...I have lots of other types of flours and am wondering if they would work...hmmmReplyDelete
Ali, where do you order your almond flour from? I too love to bake with it.ReplyDelete
I just made these and they are so, so, SO good! Yum! Absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for making them grain-free, gum free, dairy-free and egg-free! Wow. Ali, you are so talented. God has given you are great gift! Thank you for sharing and blessing others. And that sweet photo of those little hands forming that cookie dough...how precious! As always, I so appreciate your fantastic blog. Thanks again!ReplyDelete
Ali, from where did you order the almond flour? I too love to cook with it and am looking for a less expensive source. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Thanks everyone for the comments and feedback!ReplyDelete
Blanched almond flour is different from almond meal. Almond flour is ground very finely - it is like powder. Whereas almond meal, such as Bob's Red Mill almond/meal flour is coarsely ground (even though it says finely ground). I have not tried this recipe using almond meal....it may work, don't know. If anyone tries it please leave a comment.
I buy my blanched almond flour locally from Lucy's Kitchen Shop - she has an online store and sells it nationwide - it just happens to be where we live so we pick it up (no shipping costs). If you click on the Carob Banana Bar link I have in this post you can find the links to a few places to purchase it.
I am baking these over the weekend! I will have to add chocolate chips to some of the batch as an experiment!ReplyDelete
Thank you for another sugar-free recipe!!! These look awesome and easy to make! By the way, I have used Trader Joe's Almond meal in all your recipes that call for blanched almond flour or almond meal and it works just fine! Thanks for continuing to create healthy, yummy recipes!ReplyDelete
Any suggestions for a substitute for almond flour for those of us that are allergic?ReplyDelete
Ali, I love your recipes! A lot of them don't quite work for my family but I can always tweak them and they turn our wonderfully. My youngest daughter is very allergic to nuts and on SCD, so I substituted honey for the maple syrup and used freshly ground pumpkin seed flour for the almond flour. The cookies were fabulous! Even my 22 year old, who tends not to like "alternative" baked goods, ate a bunch.ReplyDelete
These look great! I just got a 25 lb. box of almond flour in the mail, so I can't wait to try these :)ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousJanuary 23, 2013 at 6:31 PM
Where did you get your large box of almond flour?Delete
To Pam:ReplyDelete
Paleo diet does not encourage sugar in any form (white, brown, maple syrup, agave, etc). Bananas are quite high in fructose, so they are a fruit that I try to avoid. Eating sugars in any form, including grains (carbohydrates which are converted to glucose in our body), spikes the insulin levels, leading to a host of problems, including gaining fat.
So I try to do all my baking sugar free and grain free - hazelnut and almond flour, and coconut flour all work great! And sweetening things naturally, without sugar, is totally possible :)
Christine - thanks for your comment! Avoiding a lot of sugar and sweet foods is good for anyone of course. But it is not so clear cut....eating grains and other forms of carbohydrates, like squash, fruit, yams does not necessarily lead to weight gain or health problems. If it did, then we wouldn't see healthy, fit people around the world who eat a predominately plant-based (grain/vegetable) diet.ReplyDelete
Yes, totally, Ali. I do eat certain carbohydrates - tons of vegetables, and some fruit. Lots of people can be healthy eating grains, though I also know many people cannot, and they may not even realize it, unfortunately. There is a right diet for everyone, and mine happens to be paleo. I feel much healthier eating this way - no grains, dairy, legumes or sugar. Only quality naturally raised meat, poultry, and pork. Plenty of plants. Good fats. For me it works. I certainly do miss the occasional treat, but finding recipes like yours makes it much easier!ReplyDelete
Ok. I know you're not a doctor, but I need advice. My son is specifically allergic to cashews and pistachios...no other nut. I have accidentally given him gluten free products that contain almonds and he has had no reaction. I asked the allergist about it and he said that if the almonds come from a good source (meaning they are not processed with other nuts) then he should be fine. It still makes me nervous, but I'm also sad that I have to keep him away from tree nuts. Any advice? Thanks. KellyReplyDeleteReplies

Almonds are seeds not nuts, so it makes sense that he would be okay with them :)Delete

These cookies are so good! I made them with whole almonds that I threw in my food processor with more banana, no maple syrup. Then tried them with pumpkin seeds instead of almonds- delicious! And the best part is that my kids love them. Thank you for all the great recipes and info, I love your cookbook.ReplyDelete
Amazing, thank you! I substituted 1 cup of almond flour for 1 cup of our gluten free buckwheat granola. So chewy and absolutely delicious!ReplyDelete
I was a skeptic, but WOW! YUM!ReplyDelete
Oh and I did use Almond Meal because until reading the comments here did not know there was a difference....might want to call that out in your recipes for us newbies. That being said taste good to me. Would be curious to use Almond flour to taste the difference.ReplyDelete
I bought bananas last week just to make these cookies. We all ate some dough before baking and got very excited for the finished product. YUM!ReplyDelete
Kelly: our 5 year old daughter is allergic to peanuts (scratch test) and her doctor advised us to stay away from the whole lot of nuts. She was given almond butter at school by mistake and, thankfully, did not have a reaction. We've been using almonds every since. On our last visit he said he could test for individual nut reactions. Maybe yours can too?
This recipe is delicious. I started the Whole Life Nutrition right after Christmas and I have never felt better and happier! Great cookies and an awesome use for old bananas.ReplyDelete
These cookies are great! I made a double batch with half blanched almond flour and half almond meal from Trader Joes. They turned out fine.ReplyDelete
I also made a pie crust out of the dough. I just patted it down in the pie pan and baked at 350 for about 13 minutes. It turned out super! I'm going to fill it with Elana's chocolate cream pie recipe or a cherry compote from frozen cherries. Hmm...mabybe I'll do a bit of both!
One of my grandchildren who is married is vegan. Actually, both him and his wife are. I will be watching there child this weekend, which is my great grand child.ReplyDelete
So, I think I will surprise them all this weekend and make this recipe for them.
Now, I just need to run down to whole foods and get the ingredients.
Thanks for posting this recipe!
