If you walk away from reading this with one thing, Lifeway Foods would like it to be this: kefir is not yogurt. So what is kefir? Well, like yogurt, kefir is a low-fat cultured dairy food rich in calcium and protein. Unlike yogurt, kefir is made with 12 different live & active cultures, and it’s cultured for 14 hours, giving it a higher probiotic count than yogurt and an effervescent, tangy flavor. (Seven to 10 billion units in a serving – dang!)
TO ME Sneak Peek: Shoes not included.SXSW is about learning, gaining inspiration and meeting new people–all of our events foster collaboration and innovation while providing our registrants with an unforgettable time. The SXSW Eco and Geostellar launch party on March 9th at Blackheart, 6-9pm will bring together registrants interested in sustainability, cleantech, design and related fields to mingle and celebrate the launch of these two forward-thinking enterprises.
Adam Cayton-Holland's Wikipedia page says he has a recurring dream that he is a pancake who is terrified of maple syrup. This entry also says "citation needed" which makes it quite a mystery but as with the X-Files, the truth is out there. Or was that Star Trek?
He told us that the first concert he ever went to was when he was five. It was Michael Jackson's Thriller and it ruled.
Cayton-Holland plays adult, co-ed indoor soccer and takes it way too seriously. He said, "I don't go easy on the girls. Because that is true feminism. Plus it helps pad my stats."
Between films, showcases, panels and everything in between you've got thousands of choices at SXSW. It can be a bit overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.

The two films in this Filmmakers in Focus paint vivid, intimate portraits of two very different subjects. Otilia Portillo Padua's Diario a Tres Voces is a visually stunning look at how love affects three different Mexican women. Eva Orner's The Network, on the other hand, examines Afghanistan from a unique perspective, and is no less intimate.
