Jessie Ware - What You Won’t Do For Love (Bobby Caldwell cover)

In my world only you
Make me do for love
What I would not do
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I’m in a daze from your love you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can’t let go

EBONY MAGAZINE – TRAVON MARTIN

Shepard created this artwork a few months ago for a commission by Ebony Magazine. We were not able to show the artwork until the issue hit newsstands this week.

“I have followed Trayvon’s case closely and I think any compassionate human being can relate to Trayvon as a brother or son and would want to see a thorough investigation into the killing of an unarmed person. In my portrait I wanted to emphasize Trayvon’s humanity as well as the public outcry for a just investigation into his death.”

Instagram junkies are going to crap an Empire State building when they see this:

The Instagram Socialmatic Camera

Yes, that just happened. The team at ADR Studio have sold their souls to the devil and conjured up one of the best inventions of the year — possibly the decade. The Instagram Socialmatic Camera brings the Instagram icon to live, allowing the glorious app to actually function as the instant film camera that has spurred its very existence.

Here are some of the features:

• 16 GB mass storage.
• Wifi and Bluetooth.
• 4:3 touchscreen.
• 2 main lens, first for main capture, second for 3D filters, webcam applications and QR Code capturing.
• Optical zoom.
• LED Flash.
• Internal printer to make your Instagram photos real.
• Paper cartridge with Instagram Paper Sheets.
• Dedicated 4 colors ink tanks.
• InstaOs 1.0, which put together Facebook and Instagram App feature.

The Instagram Paper Sheets has a retro side with a glue strip, so you can use your photos to vandalize anything your heart desires.

Pics just got real.

Why to Eat: Quinoa

Wed, 09 May 2012 11:51:56 -0700

This ancient, nutrient-packed grain has made a comeback in recent years. Here’s why—and how—to eat it.

What: Quinoa. Think of this tiny grain as a superhero version of rice: It can be used in many of the same ways and has the same cooking ratio (two parts liquid to one part quinoa), but it packs tons of nutrients and has a lot more flavor. Part of the American diet only since the 1980s, quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah or ken-OH-ah) has been harvested for more than 5,000 years in the Andes mountains in South America. It was a staple food of the Inca warriors before going into battle. Unlike rice, quinoa isn’t a starch; it’s related to such green vegetables as spinach and Swiss chard.

Look for packaged quinoa in the grocery store near rice and beans or in the bulk aisle. A quick Google search will reveal plenty of online retailers. The grains have a natural bitter coating that keep birds away in the wild, but a simple pre-cooking rinse will remove the unpleasant taste. You can also pan-roast the grains before cooking for an extra-nutty flavor.

Why it’s good for you: Quinoa is a “complete protein,” which means it contains all nine essential amino acids, including a big dose of lysine, important for tissue growth and repair. The New York Times says quinoa has an average of 16.2 percent protein per serving, while rice has 7.5 percent and wheat 14 percent. It’s high in dietary fiber (good for weight loss, reducing risk of some cancers and heart disease), magnesium (cardiovascular health, migraine prevention), manganese (helps with a slew of ailments, from asthma to diabetes), and calcium (bone strength).

What the experts say: They says quinoa is a great choice for vegetarians, because it’s high in iron—a nutrient that’s hard to get without meat. It’s also a gluten-free way of incorporating grains into your diet.

How to incorporate quinoa into your diet: One of the most appealing properties of quinoa is its versatility. It can be part of virtually any meal. For example, using the red variety, which is firmer in texture, for cold salads, or the white variety for soups or a side dish. It can also take the place of oatmeal in the morning. Cook up a big batch and keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze it for later use.
