By Rob Port | Watchdog.org North Dakota Bureau
FAULTY FORECAST: In the 2011-2013 biennium North Dakota’s actual general fund revenues beat the forecast used for budgeting by more than $1.7 billion. Chart created by Watchdog from North Dakota Office of Management and Budget reports.
BISMARCK, N.D. — North Dakota’s leaders are discovering it’s pretty tough to make sound budget decisions when estimates of the money available to spend are off by a billion dollars.
State legislators meet for a constitutionally constrained 80-day session every two years. One of their responsibilities is crafting the state’s budget for the next biennium, and they do so based on revenue projections by the state’s Office of Management and Budget.
In the age of rapid population and economic growth driven by years of high crop prices and a roaring energy industry, projections have often understated actual revenues by hundreds of millions of dollars.
According to monthly revenue reports issued by the OMB, in the last biennium covering July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2013, actual general fund revenues were 49 percent, or more than $1.7 billion, above the forecast legislators used for budgeting.
That sort of disparity between the forecasts and actual revenues have some in the state asking questions.
“When you continue to be off that much, and that often, something is wrong,” Thomas Fiebiger wrote in a recent letter to the Fargo Forum. “And to simply be grateful for having more money coming in than expected without critically examining why there’s such a disparity in projections is not the right tune to be singing.”
Fiebiger, a Democrat who represented District 45 in the state Senate from 1995 through 2010, has expressed interest in running for the U.S. House of Representatives.
Asked why revenue projections have been inaccurate, OMB Director Pamela Sharp cited the state’s booming economy and the complicated nature of projections.
THIS BIENNIUM: Despite adjustments, revenues in the current biennium are beating projections by more than $124 million. Chart created by Watchdog based on OMB revenue reports.
“Collections in the 2011-13 biennium exceeded projections by that amount due to unprecedented growth in North Dakota’s economy,” she said in response to emailed questions. “…. We contract with Moody’s Analytics for our tax base forecast. Moody’s model for the tax base forecast includes many assumptions such as wage growth, job growth, interest rates, population growth, inflation, corporate profits, the national outlook, GDP growth, agriculture commodity prices, price of oil, federal fiscal policy, just to name some forecast assumptions.
But Fiebiger, responding to Sharp’s comments via email, said the time for blaming the state’s rapid economic growth has come and gone. “When [Sharp] talks of unprecedented growth after experiencing years of such continued growth, when does it ever become precedented?” he said.
Sharp said she expects the revenue forecast for the current biennium “to be closer than that of the previous biennium” after improvements were made to the forecasting process, but already the forecast is coming in low. According to monthly OMB revenue reports, from July 1 through December 31 of 2013 the state has already collected over $124 million more than projected by the OMB forecast and $278.7 million more than last biennium’s revenues to date.
Sharp said Moody’s Analytics recently reworked its model for North Dakota to better reflect the impact of oil activity on the state’s revenues.
She said an advisory group of industry leaders and lawmakers also gives input into the numbers.
“It is the philosophy of the advisory group that it is better to be off on the conservative side rather than the aggressive side of a revenue forecast,” she said.
Sharp also said that Moody’s Analytics will “continue to refine the model for North Dakota,” but Fiebiger isn’t convinced any substantive changes are being made to the process.
“It appears as if the plan appears to be to continue to do the same thing as before and expect a different, more accurate result,” he said in response to Sharp’s description of changes.

Every year the Garonne invites a stream of the world.
After the Ebre, the Nile, the Mekong, the Ganges, the Arno, the Volga, Mississippi, the Rio of the Plata, in June 2003, the Garonne invites the Rio Cauto, that means Cuba. 100 Cuban artists are waited in Toulouse for 6 days of feast.

Every year Toulouse les orgues organizes an organ celebration where others forms of music and artistic expression take also their place.
Taking advantage of the exceptional quality of its organistic heritage and the places where the organs are, the festival offers nearly 60 events in Toulouse and Midi-Pyrénées Region.
Toulouse les orgues increases its activities offering this year a touristic package including the events of the festival and a discovery of the organs in small groups for the young public.
Toulouse, capital of the organ
Toulouse has an extraordinary and extremely varied heritage when it comes to organs and organ music. The City's organs, of different manufacture (Cavaillé-Coll, Puget and Poirier), represent the geat aesthtic trends. In addition to this heritage of authentically French historical instruments from different periods (Baroque at Saint-Pierre-des-Chartreux, Romantic at the Daurade and Gésu, Symphonic at Saint-Sernin and Notre-Dame-du-Taur), an audacious policy of acquisition has led to the addition of new instruments with an aestheic design from other countries (North German Baroque at the Augustins and 18th century Italian at Sainte-Anne). So the festival means you can get to hear music from nearly four centuries of repertoire, amplified by instruments on an appropriate scale, with its original tones.
Festival international Toulouse les Orgues
34, rue Pargaminières
The violet of Toulouse made the glory and the wealth of the city to the XIX century.
The culture of this plant to been modernized and thrown back since some years. Every year, in the month of February, in full flowering of this small marvel, take place, Place du Capitole, the Festival of the Violet, organized by the friends of the violet.
Numerous associations or organisms imply themselves so that this day is succeeded, and the amateurs of violets make the displacement, sometimes of very far.
Piano to the Jacobins is the first Festival French entirely dedicated to the piano. The Cloister of the Dominican friars is bound intimately to its history. It remained faithful to its vocation to present young artists in the internationally recognized pianist sides.
To music the plastic arts associate: every season, a plasticien conceives the picture of the Festival and enriches this musical course therefore. To the names of Claude Viallat, Georges Rousse, Shirley Jaffe, Vincent Bioules, Guy of Rougemont and Jose Manual Broto comes to be added this year the one of Fabrice Hybertqui invests with passion in this adventure.

"The Bees....The Beeeeeeeees......." *
Today I'm playing along again with Kirsty, I have not had a chance to do this in a while, but it is not because I've not been creative- it is because, quite frankly, I am a very lazy photographer. There, I said it.
I am totally confounded as to why I find it so utterly difficult to pull out a Digital camera, set it to Auto,then point and shoot! Especially after spending long years in the dark room doing all of this myself- developing, pushing, cross processing, enlarging, burning, dodging.... now I do it by plugging the camera in and clicking on one or two buttons with Canon Software.... oh goodness lazy old me!
Today's Creative Space takes place on my couch.
I am making more of the Bee Boy Rattles in the beautiful Kokka fabric from Kelani.
I bought this linen Bee print fabric so long ago and have been waiting to find matching corderoy. Where do people buy good quality corderoy I wonder? Usually I just stumble upon it by accident in my frequent thrift shop pilgrimages. This corderoy is Colonel Mustard yellow and black.
Bee boy is getting new wings sketched today as his sample wings were too big and made turning out difficult.
See how beautiful the print is.
Bees drinking tea is really too cute.
I drew his face on as a way of reducing time, it takes about 13 seconds to draw as opposed to 10 minutes to embroider. But I do love embroidered faces so. Perhaps I will do some of each.
My kitchen has a creative space of its own at the moment as I have started making my Christmas cards for my lovely brothers and sisters. And I cannot tell you what is materialising in my sewing space as it is a project for next week, however I promise to be more adept at photographing my little creative ventures from this moment forth.

The art I created throughout my lifetime reflected on my constant change and documented my road to self-discovery, especially when figuring out my personal identity. The period before my arrival at Whitworth was a time when I felt consistently disassociated with what art I wanted to create. I was not fully cemented on what kind of artist I wanted to be, and often I felt almost unsure if I had the capabilities to create “good” art. Of course, now as a senior, I look back at my time here and see how unsure I was about myself in the beginning. This searching and recognition, understanding myself and my identity became a focus in my art. I wanted to create art on human identity, recognizing groups of people and presenting them to the world with normalcy.
The first class I walked into at Whitworth was Rob Fifield’s Intro to Printmaking, and it was one of my first pushes into the art world. I immediately fell in love with the dry point method of printing, creating fine lines on plexiglass and being able to make multiple copies. It became a consistent medium I worked with, and it was one of the first mediums I became comfortable with. I have made a variety of prints with this method, presenting a variety of figures/subjects.
I began focusing on developing my art style more, specifically working with illustration. I have always had a specific illustration style; I have considered it a more gestural/fluid style, but in the beginning it felt stiff. I wanted to take the time to further develop my style and build a stronger foundation. Dry point especially helped me work more with cross-hatching and create depth, I attribute this medium to my artistic development and how I got my current style. “Blossom,” was a point in my printmaking career that I began to feel comfortable with the medium.
I became increasingly inspired by the Renaissance period and found myself drawn to the era’s characteristics. I decided to create a print to show my appreciation for the era. I recreated a painting of the beheading of John the Baptist, specifically inspired by Andrea Solario’s depiction. I wanted to present the scene in my own visual style and present the subject matter in a more contemporary way, ridding it of female idealism. Specifically, when it came to depicting Salome as docile, I made her to be more expressive in this recreation. I wanted her to have more of a reaction to the bloody scene, rather than maintaining this docile image. This print began a string of renaissance recreations, leading to my most accomplished print to date. My magnum opus, “The Lovers.”
During this time, I was inspired by Renaissance idealism and the depictions of bodies. This print was inspired by Rodin’s “The Kiss.” (While not a piece created in the Renaissance, its depiction of bodies felt reminiscent of Renaissance idealism.) I felt so drawn to its visceral depiction of love and affection, that the couple would die for each other. They were bound together, the rawest form of connection. I wanted to recreate it and take some creative liberties. To recreate this artwork with a same-sex couple rather than a straight couple was reflective of my own journey. Growing up and seeing the art world void of lgbtqia+ representation was difficult, especially as a young person trying to understand her own sexuality. With “The Lovers,” I wanted to present this couple in love, with normalcy. With appreciation of their love regardless of their sexual orientation.


The world of blockchain technology continues to evolve and expand at an unprecedented speed, and amongst the leading players in this sector is Solana. In a recent interview conducted by Decrypt’s Kate Irwin, Johnny Lee, the Solana Foundation’s Games General Manager, sheds light on Solana’s unique “build together” approach and shares his perspective on the likelihood of certain crypto firms transitioning into game publishers.
This “build together” approach is crucial for Solana’s vision, which focuses on collaboration and co-creation rather than competition. By actively engaging with the community, they seek to combine efforts and develop innovative solutions for the gaming space. However, some might argue that this cooperative strategy could lead to a slower development process, given the complexities of group dynamics and the need for consensus among stakeholders.
With the rapid growth of the gaming industry – especially online and blockchain-based games – it’s not surprising to see discussions about whether crypto firms such as Solana could venture into becoming game publishers. However, Lee remains skeptical about this possibility. According to him, the core strengths of blockchain projects often lie in areas such as decentralization, security, and transparency, which may not necessarily overlap with the skillsets and resources needed to excel in the highly competitive and rapidly changing gaming industry.
Critics might argue that it would be shortsighted for crypto firms to write off the idea of becoming game publishers altogether. Instead, they could explore the possibility of strategic partnerships with game developers and utilize their blockchain expertise to foster innovation within the games themselves. This could open new revenue streams while integrating cutting-edge blockchain technologies into the gaming experience.
On the flip side, the likelihood of crypto firms successfully pivoting into the role of game publishers could be limited. This is primarily due to the fact that the gaming industry is highly specialized, requiring expertise in various facets such as game design, development, and marketing. With the majority of crypto projects focused on enhancing and securing the digital economy, they may find it difficult to compete with established players in the gaming world.
In conclusion, it’s essential to fully grasp the scope and limitations of blockchain technology when considering its application in various industries – especially within the gaming sector. Solana’s “build together” approach offers a unique take on collaboration and co-creation that could potentially lead to groundbreaking advancements in the realm of gaming. At the same time, crypto firms might struggle to unlock their full potential as game publishers due to the inherent differences between the two industries.
Overall, while the future of blockchain and gaming remains uncertain, one thing is clear: the ongoing conversations and debates around crypto firms’ involvement in game publishing will help shape the trajectory of this interwoven landscape. The best approach for both parties might be to focus on leveraging their respective strengths while exploring partnerships that lead to mutually beneficial partnerships, ultimately pushing the boundaries of blockchain and gaming alike.

X-Men Pilot May Receive Early Series Pickup
Twentieth Century Fox seems to have had Lady Luck on their side in recent times. Their popular, yet sometimes underwhelming, X-Men universe has been releasing some very entertaining and in depth material in the past two years. Besides the hit or miss X-Men Apocalypse that wasn’t as well received as they had hoped, other X-Men franchise properties such as Deadpool, Logan and new TV series Legion have really set the bar very high for comic book properties whether on network television or made for the big screen. Hopefully Fox can keep this winning streak going now that The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that their newest X-Men series may get an early series pickup.
The news states that the pilot, which was directed by X-Men franchise veteran Bryan singer and written by previous Burn Notice producer Matt Nix, is rumored to receive an early series pick up from the network and could possibly join its slate of comic book inspired properties Lucifer and Gotham. The pilot is unofficially titled “Gifted” and is set in the current continuity of the X-Men films.
The pilot will follow the lives of Kate and Reed Stewart, a human couple who discover that both of their children are mutants as their powers begin to manifest themselves. They are forced to go on the run from an anti-mutant government organization and eventually find refuge with a mutant resistant movement. X-Men characters such as the teleporting mutant Blink and the metal manipulating Polaris, who is also the daughter of Magneto, are confirmed to appear. The mutant hunting robots called Sentinels have also been confirmed to appear in the series as well. The Sentinels made their first live action appearance in X-Men: Days Of Future Past (not counting the brief appearance of a dismembered Sentinel head in X-Men: The Last Stand). But now the question is, which Sentinel design will be featured in the new X-Men series? Will it be the Sentinel from the past or future portion of the film or will the show creators introduce an entirely new Sentinel model? Only time will tell.
The X-Men pilot was written by Matt Nix and directed by Bryan Singer. The series stars Jamie Chung, Natalie Alyn Lind, Stephen Moyer, Coby Bell, Amy Acker, Emma Dumont, Sean Teale, Blair Redford and Jeff Daniel Phillips. Are you guys excited for the new X-Men series? Let us know in the comments below.

Boundaries are limits we set for ourselves. Everyone’s boundaries are different, and they are based on what is personally important to us. Boundaries can be set in several aspects of life, such as work, relationships, family, and in conflict. Boundaries can be set in several aspects of life, such as work, relationships, family, and in conflict. Boundaries can be physical or emotional limits and help to determine a person’s comfort level, needs, and preferences. Essentially, boundaries dictate how we want/allow ourselves to be treated, and how we treat others. Healthy boundaries allow for accountability, respect, and open communication.
How to Set Boundaries
Setting boundaries may take time and practice. Don’t get down on yourself if it feels hard.
- Identify what behaviours from others is acceptable for you, and what might cause discomfort.
- Clearly communicate your boundaries with others. Learn to say no and be assertive. You can choose to explain yourself, or not. Remain confident, respectful and assertive either way.
- Decide what to do if someone breaks your boundaries. This may mean a tough discussion, take time away, or ending a relationship.
– Please don’t do that (Please don’t take my food without my permission)
– I’m not comfortable with this (I’m not comfortable going to that person’s house)
– I need some time alone when I get home.
– I want you to tell me how you feel, but it is not okay for you to yell at me or slam things.
– I want to hangout this weekend, but is not okay to bring alcohol or drugs. If you do, I will leave.
What are your boundaries?
- What is important to me?
- What are some of my boundaries?
- How do these boundaries protect my values?
- What boundaries do I need to set?
- How can I effectively communicate my boundaries?
- How can I set and maintain these boundaries?
- Why are my boundaries important to maintain?

Gov. King, citing evidence of growing marijuana use among teenagers, has lifted an 18-month ban on using helicopters to search for marijuana plants. King had ordered the ban after numerous citizens complained about the flights. Future searches will be restricted to 1,000 feet, and will involve quiet Jet Ranger helicopters. Dr. Robert Dana of the University of Maine, the state's chief consultant on substance abuse, doubts the searches will lead to decreased drug use, and thinks the money used on the flights would better serve Maine youth elsewhere.

At Rejoice Vitamins, our aim is to provide bariatric and weight reduction sufferers with the best high quality merchandise out there at an affordable value. An unusual condition, keratinosis (hardened pigmented deposits round hair follicles on the physique’s higher and lower extremities) is one other symptom of vitamin A deficiency. There are six primary forms of nutrients which are thought of important to life: proteins, carbohydrates, fats , vitamins , minerals , and water.
Water soluble vitamins aren’t stored in excessive amounts within the body and are excreted within the urine along with their breakdown products. Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is necessary for hormone manufacturing, immune system health and vitality.
If you happen to use both vitamin A along side vitamin B, you’ll vastly enhance your probabilities of stopping hair loss and selling development of the hair that you have already got. Water-soluble vitamins are packed into the watery portions of the foods you eat. It’s anticipated that males more often than common lack in Inositol, which is also one of many important vitamins to keep away from baldness issues.
Therefore, permitting deficiencies of vitamins and minerals that can contribute to mood issues or despair places the burden loss efforts in grave hazard of failure. There have been many medical research which have concluded that individuals who devour more vitamin B7 have a decline in the likelihood that they will experience hair loss.
Fat-soluble vitamins, corresponding to vitamins A, D, and E are crucial for the function or structural integrity of particular physique tissues and membranes and are retained in the body. Vitamins B1, B2, and B3, often known as thiamin, riboflavin and niacin respectively, each play a selected but functionally different function in glucose metabolism and cellular vitality production.

Book Club Bozeman: Decolonizing Wealth
"Decolonizing Wealth is a provocative analysis of the dysfunctional colonial dynamics at play in philanthropy and finance. After 14 years in philanthropy, Edgar Villanueva has seen past the field's glamorous, altruistic façade, and into its shadows: the old boy networks, the savior complexes, and the internalized oppression among the "house slaves," and those select few people of color who gain access. All these funders reflect and perpetuate the same underlying dynamics that divide Us from Them and the haves from have-nots. In equal measure, he denounces the reproduction of systems of oppression while also advocating for an orientation towards justice to open the floodgates for a rising tide that lifts all boats. In the third and final section, Villanueva offers radical provocations to funders and outlines his Seven Steps for Healing…With great compassion--because the Native way is to bring the oppressor into the circle of healing--Villanueva is able to both diagnose the fatal flaws in philanthropy and provide thoughtful solutions to these systemic imbalances.

It takes a lot for a dog food company to get to the top of the heap, but Purina has done just this. In the United States, Purina is the most prevalent pet food solution for dogs there is. In the world, Purina is the second most trusted option available. And there’s good reason.
Take, for example, Beneful. Beneful is a Purina dog food designed specifically to bring dogs the most health at the most affordable price. Beneful is actually inclusive of real food ingredients, like chicken or beef. Some dog food companies actually produce the stuff based in production scraps from the factory floor. Everybody knows that a dog will pretty much eat anything he decides he can fit his mouth around. Dogs just have that quality about them. As a result, many pet food companies just throw anything and everything in the pet food bag, then sell it at bottom dollar. Now, there are certainly owners who just don’t care what their animal eats, or how healthy it is. Many farmers have dogs that never come inside and are only fed the bare minimum to keep them loyal. For these individuals, bottom dollar options made from non-authentic food scraps re-purposed in order that a factory retain its bottom line are ideal. But for the dog owners that truly love their four-footed family members, no such spendthrift option works. Purina understands this, and so produces foods that have real ingredients designed to keep dogs healthy, happy and strong. Furthermore, products like Beneful are sold at prices reasonable to the market.
Even though Purina is the leading supplier of dog food in the United States, that doesn’t mean they have to be the most expensive! The key is to give customers especially those on multivu the value for their money, while at the same time providing a trustworthy product. Purina understands this, and has endeavored to do as much very successfully.
In 2013, Purina spent over forty million dollars ensuring the formula in its Beneful dog food solution wasn’t only healthy for dogs, but that dogs preferred its taste. A dog may not have the sophistication to write a culinary review, but that lack of sophistication is also indicative of his tastes. When a dog is excited about a food stuff, it’s easy to tell that he likes it. When a dog isn’t excited about a foodstuff, well it only makes sense that he doesn’t prefer it. And dogs definitely love Purina. Poor the food and see those mutts come scurrying around the corner like somebody just fired a pistol during a military drill. It can get messy sometimes, if they haven’t been trained properly!
For the best dog food in the United States, many would say that Purina is the only option, and it’s easy to see why. They have a variety of quality products at realistic prices and in great supply across the world. For the dog lover that wants realistically priced food that is healthy for their four-footed loved ones, Purina delivers.

“The Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come.” Mal 3:1 NKJV
Sometimes God shows up dramatically, like an unexpected check in the mail, a door opening, or protection in a situation that would otherwise destroy you (See Ps 91:11). Other times God shows up quietly, replacing your anxiety with assurance, whispering, “Fear not…I am with you” (Isa 41:10 NKJV). And when those around you say, “You’re different today, what’s changed?” you reply, “I don’t know, I just have peace about it.” That’s because “The Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come.” Here are two Bible stories that illustrate this:
The first story demonstrates how God intervenes when you are misunderstood and mistreated. “After they had been severely flogged…About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns…Suddenly…all the prison doors flew open” (Ac 16:23-26 NIV). Midnight prayers and songs of praise help you see beyond the problem to God, the great problem-solver. By taking the focus off yourself and putting it on Him, your outlook begins to change. The second story demonstrates how God intervenes when you are overwhelmed by the sheer size of the challenge. Faced with leading two million Israelites into the Promised Land, Moses prays, “Show me now Your way” (Ex 33:13 NKJV). God replies, “Here is a place by Me…I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand” (vv. 21-22 NKJV). When God tells you, “Here is a place by Me,” get into it and stay there! Even though you can’t see Him clearly, you’ll feel His presence, experience His goodness, and know that everything is going to be okay.

|TA: We need that focus for rest of series||06.11.10 at 11:34 am ET|
From the moment Tony Allen showed up at the Garden on Thursday he could sense the urgency. From captain Paul Pierce to Kevin Garnett to everyone on what turned out to be a great bench, the task was at hand was very, very clear.
Win or else.
Now, with the 96-89 win over the Lakers in Game 4 in the bank and the NBA finals tied, 2-2, Allen wants to see that urgency for the remainder of the series. And if he does, he thinks the Celtics could very well be hoisting he Larry O’Brien trophy when it’s awarded next week at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
“Earlier at shootaround it felt like a must-win game,” Allen said. “I was looking at everybody’s focus, guys were in there early, getting shots up, in getting treatment. Guys were pretty much focused. I like that side of those guys. We’re going to definitely need them to be focused for the rest of the series.”
Of course, leading the way in providing focus is captain Paul Pierce. He was the last remaining member of the ‘Big Three’ not to have a big game in the series so far. People were wondering if the Celtics stood a chance if he didn’t get his motor started in Game 4.
Pierce scored a team-high 19 points but it was the leadership he showed early in the game that impressed Allen. And Allen sensed Pierce was going to have something special in store well before tip-off.
“I think he had that vision in his mind,” Allen said. “He just came out and said, ‘I’m going to be Paul Pierce today no matter what the defense tries to do.’ He got the name ‘The Truth’ for being the truth. He definitely was big.
“He’s ‘The Truth.’ We’re definitely going to need him for the rest of the series. We’re going to need him to be The Truth for these three games. I’m glad he got it going and it showed why we won.”
|Legler on D&C: Nate’s energy priceless||at 9:44 am ET|
ESPN NBA analyst Tim Legler joined the Dennis & Callahan show Friday morning to talk about the NBA finals, following the Celtics‘ Game 4 win Thursday night. To hear the interview, click on the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
“Last night was the quintessential Celtics defense that we’ve come to know out of this team for the last three years.” Legler said, noting that the officials helped the C’s by letting them play.
Legler said Nate Robinson’s performance off the bench makes him wonder even more why the former Knick hasn’t seen more playing time. “I’ve kind of been scratching my head, going back about a month, as to why he wasn’t regularly in the rotation down the stretch of the season and in the postseason,” Legler said.
“One thing I love about Nate Robinson, he never thinks the stage is too big,” Legler added. “He believes every time he’s on the court he’s the best player on the floor. I have a lot of respect for guys that don’t care about the moment, that can come in ‘ sit there for a month, the way he did in the Orlando series and come in and give you 13 points in an important game the way he did in that series ‘ and then to come in last night on that stage. He just plays like, ‘I belong here. This is my game.’ … I just don’t think you can put a price tag on the energy that that guy provides.”
Legler, who stands by his prediction of Celtics in six, said if the C’s can finally put together a balanced offensive night, the Lakers will be in trouble. “I think offensively they’ve been so out of sync and so far from where they can be,” he said. “Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and [Rajon] Rondo ‘ they haven’t come close to playing well on the same night yet. And once they do, the Lakers I just don’t think can beat this team.”
|Kobe credits Celtics defense||at 2:20 am ET|
After shooting 10-for-22 for the second time this series, Bryant admitted the Celtics are doing their job on defense.
“They’re a great scheming team,” he said following the Celtics’ 96-89 win. “They have a strategy in place and they execute extremely well. I feel pretty comfortable. Wasn’t pleased with the way I took care of the ball tonight. I thought I did a horrible job of that. But it’s a great defense.”
The Celtics forced seven turnovers on Bryant, the most he committed since May 4 against the Jazz. He entered the game averaging just over three per game.
After the Lakers loss, Bryant denied questions of a tweaked knee or any type of exhaustion. The Celtics defense was simply effective.
Said Bryant, “Oh, it’s right up there with the best of them.”
|Three things that went right and wrong in Game 4||06.10.10 at 11:56 pm ET|
The NBA finals are once again tied after the Celtics defeated the Lakers, 96-89, in Game 4 on Thursday night. (Recap.) The Celtics had six scorers in double figures, led by 18 from Glen “Big Baby” Davis, who was dominant down the stretch, and 19 from captain Paul Pierce. Game 5 is Sunday night back at TD Garden.
THREE THINGS THAT WENT RIGHT
Sparkplugs off the bench: One’s called Big Baby and the other looks like, well, a baby on the floor, but supersubs Glen Davis and Nate Robinson certainly didn’t play like their labels Thursday night. The duo combined for 30 points, but it was the pure energy each provided for the C’s off the bench in the fourth quarter that helped the team to victory. One of the greatest video clips from Game 4 was Davis slobbering with Robinson on his back after Davis made a layup on which he was fouled. That one play electrified the TD Garden crowd and pushed the C’s towards an incredible run in the final quarter, in which Boston outscored the Lakers, 36-27.
Rebounds, rebounds, rebounds: Boston found a way to win again because they were able to keep the Lakers big men off the boards. After being outrebounded 43-35 in Game 3, the Celtics won the battle down low 41-33 in their win in Game 4. All five starters had more than five boards, and Davis added five of his own with four of those coming on the offensive end. By winning the rebounding battle, the C’s were able to take away the size advantage that the Lakers utilized perfectly in their wins in Games 1 and 3.
Paul Pierce’s play in the first quarter: Pierce was the only member of the Big Four without a truly dominating performance in any of the first three games, and several of his critics had said that he needed to step it up if the team was going to succeed. Pierce held up his end of the bargain by going off for 10 points in the first frame while the offense undeniably went through him. The rest of the team managed only nine during that time.
THREE THINGS THAT WENT WRONG
Poor first-half shooting: The C’s had more than their fair share of quality shots in the first half but shot just 41 percent from the field. The C’s missed several open jumpers and even some layups. Those misses translated into just 42 first-half points and a three-point deficit that could have been much larger had the Lakers not had their own offensive struggles.
Allowing Kobe to hit some big 3’s in the third quarter: There was a time in the third that it seemed like Kobe Bryant just couldn’t miss from behind the arc. The C’s were giving him just enough room to pull the trigger, and that’s something you simply cannot do against Bryant. He was 5-for-6 at one point from deep and seemed to be in place to endanger Ray Allen‘s finals record for 3-pointers in a game. He eventually cooled, but the three-straight 3’s he made to close out the quarter allowed the Lakers to stay ahead going into the fourth.
Timing could have been everything: Although they certainly didn’t affect the outcome, Rasheed Wallace and Nate Robinson both had ill-timed technical fouls in the fourth quarter. Wallace’s technical came after the team had garnered an eight-point lead in the fourth. It very well could have sucked away all the momentum the team had gathered over the previous two minutes and change. Robinson’s T two minutes later threatened to do the same thing. If the C’s want to continue to thrive in the final stanza, they cannot pick up potential game-changing T’s in close games.
|Jackson: Bynum playing with pain||at 8:49 pm ET|
“I think he’ll give it a shot and see how he goes from there.” Jackson said. “The big factor is he knows he’s going to be in some kind of discomfort during course of a game. It comes. It goes. He feels sharp pain when he makes a certain move. He understands what it is so it’s not something he gets concerned about doing again.”
[Click here to hear Phil Jackson talk about the pain Bynum is playing through.]
Bynum had the knee drained just before the Finals began and was told by Lakers doctors and trainers to expect discomfort and limited mobility if he chose to play in the series. Bynum has started all three games and played at least 28 minutes in each of the first contests.
|Phil to his Lakers: Play above referees||at 8:47 pm ET|
With all the talk of Eddie F. Rush officiating Game 4 and Kendrick Perkins one technical away from a one-game suspension, there’s been plenty of talk about the quality of officiating of the 2010 NAB Finals. Lakers coach Phil Jackson said the officiating this Finals series is no more controversial than in other championship series he’s been in.
“I don’t think it’s any hotter than any other Finals I’ve been a part of,” Jackson said. “It’s always contentious. There’s been a little more focus, perhaps, this time. Perhaps, some of it has been undercurrent in the past. What we like to say to the players is you play beyond the refereeing, you play above the refereeing.”
Jackson is coaching in his 13th NBA Finals series and has a 10-2 mark in previous championship series.
[Click here to listen to Jackson explain how his team needs to deal with the officiating.]
|Rebounding key to rebounding from loss||at 8:40 pm ET|
If the Celtics want to rebound from their Game 3 loss, they know they have to rebound in Game 4.
“I think whoever wins the rebounding war wins the game,” said Kendrick Perkins. “That’s how it’s been in the last three games for some reason.”
The Celtics have been outrebounded 124-110 in the first three games of the series, an average of 41 to 37.
They had a five-board edge in their Game 2 victory, but were outrebounded by a total of 19 boards in their Games 1 and 3 losses.
Perkins said the length of the Lakers big men, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum, make them tough to defend. Gasol’s versatility to play the power forward also spreads the floor and creates additional defensive challenges for the Celtics.
But the Celtics can win the battle of the boards. They have already proved it in this series. There’s nothing complicated about it, just a matter of going out and doing it.
“I just feel like it’s got to be a team effort,” said Perkins. “Guys have got to come in, make them take contested jumpshots, grab a lot of long rebounds. Our guards come in and they can start the break.
“But I just think when we put our minds together and go out there and do it, I just think with Paul (Pierce) and (Rajon) Rondo and Ray (Allen), they can grab a few rebounds. Then Kevin (Garnett) and myself, we’ve got to do what we’ve got to do. Then when the bench comes in, they’ve got to make sure that they rebound also.”
The Celtics know the gameplan. Now they have to execute it.
“It’s just us,” said Glen Davis. “We’ve got to show up tonight. We’ve got to make sure that we do what we have to do.”

Ok so I have to hold on to a huge portion of my taxes so I can have enough to go to court with because I have no clue how much court cost and fines will be for this traffic ticket.
I want to buy some girly items for myself (makeup, nail polish, etc.), a table and chair set for my living room, and put more on my bills but ith having this ticket thing looming over my head I can not really do anything. I want to buy myself something nice cause I never do. I'm stuck having to do the right thing and wanting to still feel like I am an attractive young lady. Like all my money goes to bills. All my energy goes to getting money to pay the bills, diapers, and daycare.
I thought getting this ticket was going to be my gift to myself (it is) but it is emotionally draining, time consuming, and finanically painful. No pleasure until i walk out of the court with clearence papers. Til then I am wishing I had money to spruce up me and my surroundings. :( I hate being broke.

Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men Shares His Cherished Sound of Philadelphia [Interview]
Source: Micah's Voice
The Grammy Award winning crooner, Shawn Stockman, of Boyz II Men, sits down with @Okayplayer to talk his beloved Philadelphia sound.
Philadelphia has long been a hotbed for black music. Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the mother of rock ’n roll lived and died there. For three decades beginning in 1950, artists used Philadelphia’s Uptown Theater to sharpen their skills, based on the ratio of applause and boos. In the late ‘90s, Black Lily was the breeding ground for artists like Floetry, Jazmine Sullivan and pioneered the modern soul movement.
Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff created their own genre called “The Philadelphia Sound” that has since gone on to nab its own section in the National Museum of African American History and Culture. This year, the city honored some of it golden children. Jill Scott and Patti LaBelle were inducted into the Philadelphia Music Hall of Fame, while Boyz II Men were awarded a street in their name just a few feet from the high school where they met.
We had the opportunity to chat with Boyz II Men’s Shawn Stockman about his own memories of the Sound of Philadelphia and play a pretty fun rapid fire game with our hometown’s best artists.
Okayplayer: Boyz II Men is back with a new album, “Under The Streetlight” and it is all doo-wop standards. The world has been waiting for this since the small snippet ya’ll gave us on MotownPhilly back in 1991. Can you talk about how this project came about?
Shawn Stockman: It’s a part of our history. We used to sing doo-wop records around the city when we were younger. We’d take bits and pieces from doo-wop groups and add our own harmonies with a modern twist. We’re paying homage to the music that raised us.
OKP: This album made so many people’s dreams come true with the Take 6 iconoclast moment.
SS: We’re huge fans of Take 6! They are one of the reasons why we sing the way we do. We tried to emulate what we heard from them growing up in high school. In the industry, your idols become your friends. When we came up with the idea, we had to have them on. It was only right.
OKP: You’ve worked with Brian McKnight before on the Christmas classic, “Let It Snow”, so it was exciting to hear your voices together again. Amber Riley’s feature was quite the pleasant surprise. How did that killer collab come about?
SS: Amber is a beast! I wasn’t a huge Glee fan, but at the same time, you know good singers when you hear them. Amber was amazing and her contribution was sick! She can sing her ass off. It was one of those collabs that came out the blue, but we were so happy with the outcome.
OKP: Next year will mark your fifth year in Vegas, but it will be 27 years since your debut album, Cooleyhighharmony! Talking about coming full circle, you now have Boyz II Men Boulevard in South Philly. How did that experience feel?
SS: It felt great! We’ve been blessed to travel the world, but it is nothing like getting love where you came from. We loved that the city of Philadelphia appreciated us enough to rename a street that is coincidentally right by our performing arts high school.
OKP: I know artists get tired of the same Q&A interview format, so let’s play a game instead. I’ll name a Philly artist and you respond with a favorite song, special moment, or a favorite vocal performance.
SS: I’m in!
SS: Oh wow! First Born Second, his first album I used to play so much, not even knowing he was from Philly! Seeing him perform a few times, he’s sick and always one of my favorite artists. I’m so jealous of his falsetto! Part of the experience of watching an artist perform is not just watching them sing, but for me, watching the artist zone out. I love being a witness to an artist’s rainman. They go into their own little planet and you get a glimpse of who they really are when they’re in their creative zone onstage. It’s a very personal space and Bilal does that exceptionally well.
SS:Rachelle Ferrell has done a few things with George Duke that I love! She’s so crazy with that flip of her voice and her word pronunciation. Incredible vocalist!
SS: BEANS! I hate to see brothers from our soil go through the things he’s gone through. Beans was that guy. He put Philly on the map, from a hip-hop perspective. Not to mention, he had an entire movement with State Property. It was such a proud moment to be from Philadelphia because we rarely got those looks. It’s always been about New York or the South. It was nice that for that moment in time, guys like Beans, Free, Oschino, Sparks were able to get that national attention and they rocked it! Beans did tracks with Jay and held his own. He would spit stuff that made you kinda skip Jay’s verse. You can’t deny the fact that Beans was dope!
The most soulful white boys ever! They never apologized for loving Black music and it permeated. I don’t think they can even write a proper pop record. Even their pop records had a level of soul to it that very few understood. They were great songwriters. Period. Daryl just had that grit that even when he sang “Your Kiss Is On My List”, it still had some grime to it that only a soulful cat could pull out.
OKP: Have you ever watched “Live From Daryl’s House?”
SS: Yeah! They had the O’Jays on once. It’s such a cool show!
One of the greatest altos in the history of music. The paradox with artists is what makes them so great is the thing that does them in. I think part of what Phyllis was, musically, was at the same time what caused her to take her own life. She lived her music. When you listen to a Phyllis Hyman record, there’s always a layer of sadness and you felt it because it came from a real place. She was suffering. She’s like a Billie Holiday or Nina Simone.
Phyllis was one of those artists that generated emotion no matter what she sang and it wasn’t contrived. I saw a performance of her in Japan and she was just crying. She couldn’t even finish the song because she caught a memory and left the building. But that’s the beauty of being a singer. Even if no one knows what you’re going through, you can let it all out onstage. It’s the most honest place on earth.
Those the homies! I’ve known them for so long. Kudos to them for being able to be a couple for all of these years. That in itself is a feat. They are the definition of #BlackLove. They have been putting out a lot of things that represent the town. They’ve never steered away from who they were and that’s the beauty of it. You know that they’re couple and still go onstage and rock out.
That’s the godfather right there. He’s the gold standard. Frankie Beverly is the guy everybody wants to be. I still want to perform at the level he does at his age and does everybody else. He created R&B music. You talked about Rachelle doing one song for 45 minutes, but have you ever experienced “Joy & Pain" live? “Joy & Pain” is the length of a movie and nobody cares.
Everybody is rockin’ and full of malt liquor and chicken, but it’s all good. You can’t have a Black Philly BBQ without a MAZE record. That’s standard. It comes with the chicken wings. Frankie’s been doing it for a thousand years and it’s still good. That’s the shit.
That’s what [live] music is about and what it should always be about. Go, have fun, and zone out for as long as you can because as soon as you leave the venue, it’s that bullshit.
Boyz II Men’s Las Vegas residency at The Mirage is running now through April 2018. Tickets can be purchased here. Under the Streetlight is available in stores and all digital platforms.
Stephanye Watts is New York City's biggest fan in the form of the coolest black girl alive behind the world's only R&B trivia night. Her work has appeared at Saint Heron and MySpace. Follow her rambling on music and black culture on Twitter @so14below.

Whenever my heart feels heavy, lost, or confused I tend to turn to the kitchen to distract myself. Seeking comfort in food isn’t as bad as those ridiculous diet magazines make it out to be. Food can bring us all together and make us pause to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Sometimes, a big pot of chili and garlic bread, creamy avocado pasta, or warm walnut banana bread is just the thing we need in that moment. Other days, it’s a big kale salad or a juicy basket of strawberries and coconut cream. Monday night, I made pasta with homemade spaghetti sauce while we watched the news. I felt like a zombie as I cooked, but I knew we needed something to settle our bellies.
It’s been an emotional week to say the least. I find myself extra sensitive about everything, trying to make sense of all the loss in this world. I haven’t made any sense of it yet and there’s no feeling of progress made in my mind. Despite this heavy heart, I can’t help but be inspired by all the good out there. The selfless people helping in a time of need. The bravery and generosity going on is a beautiful thing to see. Sometimes I don’t always see the good, but it’s there. Love always prevails.
These banana bread bars were my solution to another comfort food craving yesterday. Think of them as soft, doughy granola bars filled with crunchy walnuts, omega-3 lovin’ chia seeds, and a sprinkling of dark chocolate chips. The wet batter is made up of spotty bananas, a generous scoop of protein-packed peanut butter, a splash of vanilla, and just a hint of sweetener to round it all out. I’ve been enjoying them around the clock, so it’s safe to say they work nicely as breakfast, snack, or even dessert. Your call.
Banana Bread Protein Bars
Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free, soy-free (if using Enjoy Life chocolate)
Email, text, or print this recipe
Yield: 10 bars
- 2/3 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup raw buckwheat groats*, ground into flour
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 3 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips (such as Enjoy Life brand)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp fine grain sea salt
- 3/4 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 small-medium)
- 1/2 cup natural smooth peanut butter
- 1/4 cup coconut nectar syrup (or brown rice syrup)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8-inch square pan with 2 pieces of parchment paper, one going each way. Tip – to get the parchment to stick to the pan, give the base a spray with olive oil and do this for the next paper too.
2. Add raw buckwheat groats into a high-speed blender and blend on high until a fine flour forms. Whisk all dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
3. Mash bananas until smooth and measure out 3/4 cup. Stir together the banana and all the wet ingredients in a bowl.
4. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir well until combined. The dough should be very sticky!
5. Scoop batter into prepared pan. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the batter and press it down to spread out the batter evenly. You can also remove the paper and wet your hands lightly and spread it out that way. Make sure it’s as even as possible.
6. Bake at 350F for 22-26 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the bread is firm to touch. Cool in the pan completely (I left it for 1 hour) before removing and slicing into bars.
Notes: Raw buckwheat groats are not the same as kasha or toasted buckwheat. Raw groats have a milder flavour than toasted. You can find raw groats online, in some health food stores, or the bulk bins of Whole Foods. I buy mine in bulk from Upaya Naturals online. You might be able to substitute the ground buckwheat for oat flour, but I have not tried this myself. If anyone tries it, please leave a comment and report back.
These are awesome! I had to make them nut-free so my kids can take them to school. Instead of walnuts I used pumpkin seed/flax seed mix, and instead of peanut butter I used sunflower seed butter. Fabulous recipe!
I also saw your mention of Organic Garage in a previous comment – I moved out of Oakville last fall, and that is definitely one place I miss…
Thanks Angela for this great protein bar recipe sans protein powder!
Can I use agave syrup for the Banana Bread Bars?
Well, I was relatively happy making these until I dropped my mom’s mixing bowl on the floor while scooping it in and breaking it into a million pieces! The recipe, unfortunately, could not be saved. Listening to calming music trying to feel better now :/ Raw batter tasted mighty nice, though!
Oh no!! Sending you hugs and better baking vibes for next time :)
Your recipe calls for “1/2 cup raw buckwheat groats*, ground into flour.” Another recipe on your website calls for oat groats ground into flour. Why not simply buy buckwheat flour or oat flour rather than grinding my own?
Hey Steven, I’ve only seen toasted buckwheat flour (and not raw buckwheat flour) in grocery stores, and they have a very different flavour. Which is why I grind my own raw buckwheat flour at home. :)
Just following up, here:
I checked with a staff member at my food co-op (Hunger Mountain Co-op, Montpelier, Vt.), and the staff member claimed that Hunger Mountain’s buckwheat flour comes from raw groats. I realize that may mean nothing regarding the offerings at mainstream “grocery stores.” As a general rule, Food Co-ops are much less “truth-challenged” when it comes to labelling. :-)
Thanks for your help.
Thank you for your reply, Angela.
I would have assumed that all flours came from raw grains unless otherwise noted, AND that toasted buckwheat flour would be called “kasha flour,” whereas the flour from the raw grain would be called “buckwheat flour.” Further, I buy my food at a food co-op where they are pretty particular about labelling such details. But we know what happens when one assumes, don’t we? So I will look into it and find out. Meanwhile – regarding the other half of my original question – oat flour is RAW oat flour – is it not?
Thanks again. :-)
TOTALLY making these. I love bar recipes, especially with a kick of protein!
I don’t know what I’d do without your blog! These are a life saver for someone with diet restrictions but who loves to eat and needs a hearty breakfast or snack on the go. I have substituted oat flour and it works great. I use honey or maple syrup instead of rice syrup, and I use whatever seeds I have around – pumpkin (not as good but ok), flax, chia… and I’m not a coconut fan and they are great without it. Thanks SO MUCH! For someone who really enjoys food but with lots of less-then-desirable restrictions, you’re a blessing!
I also substitute sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter… yum!
I made this with oat flour and almond butter instead of peanut butter and they turned out great! Everyone (vegan and non) has loved them every time I make them. Awesome recipe!
Excited to make these. I don’t have rolled oats, but I do have oat groats I can use to make a flour. Would oat flour be ok instead of rolled oats?
I almost always use oat flour and it works great! Love these!
I made the bars with oat flour only. Tastes – awesome! I’m making another batch for my girlfriend before she get’s home from work today:) Thanks for all the amazing recipes over the last couple years!
My family and I are obsessed with this recipe! I have made it many times, and have actually just finished baking a bouble batch! They freeze well.i
Could only find roasted groats at my grocery store: used those, about a 70/30 mix of honey and maple syrup in place of the coconut/brn rice, and skipped the coconut and they worked beautifully! Delicious and just the right texture for a bar like this. One bite and I think I found a go-to, thank you! :)
Oh and hazelnuts toasted just beforehand instead of walnuts since I can’t stop baking and cooking with them lately. Yum.
Wow, these bars are a real winner! I made them last night and had two after my morning run today and must say they are so tasty, super satisfying and just a perfect little snack. I used raisins in place of the choc chips to make them more breakfast friendly and skipped the extra sweetener (I just added in a splash of water to make up for the missing liquid). It worked out perfectly. They are really good with an extra smear of pb on top, too. ;)
What a great recipe, Ill be sure to make these regularly from now on. Thanks for sharing this here with us!
P.S.: I used buckwheat flour without a problem.
These were A-Mazing! I could have eaten the whole batch right out of the oven. But I saved some for the BF and his kids who also loved them. So did my girlfriend and her kids. Brought them camping in Yosemite with us and shared the with a few people there. They all thought they were great! I am going to make again soon!
I made two small changes. Pecans instead of walnuts because I had them on hand, and I don’t much care for walnuts and agave for the coconut nectar. I can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
Thank you for this delicious recipee! I will be sharing with all my vegetarian good food-loving pals here in Australia. Just a note-I used oat flour instead of the buckwheat and honey instead of coconut necter. Also for some extra protein (and deliciousness!) I sprinkled the top with a nut mix of pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. DELICIOUS!!! :)
I made these yesterday using oat flour instead of buckwheat groats and used a combo of rice syrup and agave syrup. They are so good! I’m going to have to hide them from my 2 year old, I Just found him shoving them in his mouth after finding the container. He cried when I took them away which speaks volumes as to how good they are!
Thank you for this recipe. These bars are AWESOME! I used agave instead of brown rice syrup and halved the amount of walnuts and peanut butter to lower the calorie count a bit. (I also used oat flour instead of grouts.)These turned out so well! I’m excited to serve them at a cocktail party I’m hosting tomorrow. A healthy snack will be a nice change.
Hi- I subbed the buckwheat for 1/2 cup of oats that I ground finely in the food processor. I also used honey instead of the brown rice syrup. All I can say is that these are going to be a morning staple in my house from now on!! So easy and sooo yummy!!
Hi! How would I make this recipe without nuts???
I am unsure what buckwheat groats are.
I have buckwheat flour and love it, use it often. Would that be alright?
I love the idea of a bar to have that I cam munch happily and not feel guilty. I am not keen on sugary, sweet things anyway.
Raisins are sweet and so full of calories. Could I miss out the chocolate and put a seed or two in. I am trying hard to lose weight, just very slowly but go in the right direction.
I just have a general question regarding the buckwheat groats. I have a food processor and attempted to ground them but the processor did not like this and all the different attachments I use don’t seem to like them either. So I was just wondering if there was another way that I could ground them or could I soak them and then ground them or will this make the texture too wet? Thanks :)
Hi Monique, I always grind my buckwheat groats in my Vitamix – works amazing! Grinds it right into a flour. Hope this helps!
I react with hives to nuts, sesame chia (& traces of).
Is the protein in buckwheat groats the same protein found in the nuts etc mentioned above?
Hi Angela I’ve only got frozen bananas. Will that work or do they need to be fresh?
I used oat flour and the bars are amazing!
These bars are delicious and so quick to prepare! I have a flight tomorrow and was searching for something tasty to bring on the plane. It is actually in the top results in Google for ‘vegan plane snacks’.. I used almonds instead of walnut, grounded them in the vitamix to a coarse flour.
I actually hid these so nobody eats them before the flight…
Double recipe for a family people!
I make this recipe all the time – love it when I’m craving something sweet which happens every day. I haven’t taken the time to find buckwheat groats. Instead I use almond flour and it turns out great. Looking forward to trying more of your recipes!
hey quick question! can you grounded up raw buckwheat instead of buckwheat groats for the flour? or are they not interchangeable
I’ve made these bars two or three times and they’re always great. I haven’t had buckwheat so I’ve subbed almond pulp leftover from making almond milk, and the results have been excellent. I took these bars in a cooler for a multi-day cross-country drive and, a few weeks later, on the plane for an overnight trip to Europe. Sure have been glad to have them along.
So great to know that swap works so well!! Glad you’ve been enjoying the recipe. :)
I’ve already left a rave review for these bars, but after having made them over and over again, I need to add another. I make them about once every two weeks and try to restrict my nibbling to no more than one bar per day. They freeze beautifully, satisfy my craving for something chocolate-y and sweet, and don’t contain tons of ingredients I shouldn’t eat. Thanks again for a terrific recipe.
You’re too kind, Jonny! I’m thrilled you’re such a fan of this recipe. Thanks for the love!
third batch of these bars in the oven right now. And I only discovered this recipe two weeks ago. My GF DF daughter loves them. I have subbed the 1/2 cup buckwheat grouts for 1/4 cup hemp hearts and 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder. Also subbed sunflower seeds for coconut. My daughter is not a coconut fan. Great recipe.
These are delicious!
I made a tiny alternation – instead of using peanut butter, I used 1/4 C of powdered peanut butter (PB&ME) and mixed this with 50mL (instead of 60mL) of maple syrup before adding the mashed banana. I also used oat flour instead of buckwheat flour. They baked up perfectly. Mine took closer to 30 minutes in the oven and I would probably cook them longer next time to get them more golden and crunchy.
Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Harri, Thanks for sharing your swaps! So glad they turned out so well :)
These bars are AWESOME!! I changed the recipe up just a bit and it worked. Here’s what I did. I added 2/3 cup original rolled oats plus 1/2 cup original rolled oats. I ground them in my cuisinart until I had a flour like consistency. Instead of coconut, I added 1/4 heaping cup of dried cranberries and instead of chocolate chips, I added 1/4 cup of dried blueberries. Instead of chia seeds I replaced with hemp seeds, which pack 7 grams of protein in 2.5 tbsp (I put in 3 tbsp) I added the cinnamon & the fine grain sea salt & whisked all together. For the wet ingredients, I substituted the bananas with shredded apple fuji apples (just shy of 3/4 cup as they wetter than bananas) I replaced the peanut butter with almond butter & replaced the coconut nectar syrup with honey and added the 1 tsp pure vanilla extract. I followed the recipe and VOILA it worked! Enjoy
Hi Angela, I forgot to say in my earlier comment I also added 1 scoop of organic french vanilla protein powder, plant based.
I made this and it was amazing! You mentioned you didn’t know how it would come out using oat flour, so I tried it- and it worked well! Thanks for another great recipe!
It takes no time to make these delicious protein bars. They’re quick and yummy! Makes a great snack for an energy reboot. Thank you, Angela, for sharing.

The International Interdisciplinary Workshop: “Rapid Arctic Warming and Its Impact on Indigenous Peoples and Other Communities” will be held at the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR) in a hybrid format on March 10, 2023, in collaboration with the Arctic Challenge for Sustainability II (ArCS II) Project.
This workshop will feature the following three interdisciplinary sessions;
- Recent Climate Change and Livelihoods in Greenland
- Impacts of Arctic Warming on Indigenous Societies and Food Culture
- Laws and Policies Responding to Arctic Warming and Indigenous and Local Communities
The Arctic region is where the effects of global warming are the most prominent all over the world. In addition, phenomena caused by global warming, such as sea level rise caused by melting the ice sheets and greenhouse gases (e.g., methane) emissions due to permafrost thawing, will further positive feedback to global warming. Therefore, the impact of Arctic warming on the low-latitude populated regions is enormous, and the understanding of rapid change in the Arctic environment is a pressing issue for the world.
About Arctic Challenge for Sustainability II (ArCS II)
ArCS II (https://www.nipr.ac.jp/arcs2/e/) is the national flagship project for Arctic research in Japan, with more than 200 researchers participating from FY2020 to 2024. The National Institute of Polar Research is representing the project in collaboration with the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and Hokkaido University.
