Any word on when he should be back in uniform?
Any word on when he should be back in uniform?
Casey just said expect Bargs to be available by Wed against boston could be in for Miami tomorrow though hes been feling a lot better.
I've been thinking about Bargnani lately .. wondering how this whole thing will play out.
And while I'm not against trading him, I've thought to myself that a motivated, enthusiastic (its possible y'know :P) Bargnani, who knows his role as the 4th option now behind Lowry, Gay and Dero, could be a HUGE lift to this team. His spacing could provide precious driving lanes for Demar and Gay that just haven't been there with him gone.
I don't know, obviously #TradeBargnani is in full swing .. but with Gay now on the team, it changes his role dramatically, and could relieve ALOT of pressure he may feel; real or imagined.

I agree there MAY be a way for Bargs to work in this new system. But he'll do more damage than good. Scoring has never been an issue for our team. Winning is the issue. I no longer see a future for him hear anymore. He's not Dirk & he's not going to start ANYWHERE else in the league. His comments about his teammates...his style of play.....lack of D.... it's time to part ways. He's not clutch...this is the first season he's been driving to the hoop (Since 2006) and he ended up hurting his little elbow.
I say hang him. Hang him HIGH. Tar & feather him. Hang him in the town square and let crows pick at his dead body.
Despite the way he has played before the injury, and all the rumours, he is worth some sort of value near to a pick. Too talented a player to just let walk/amnesty. Although, if nothing is working, and no deals are coming into our favour, amnestying him and gaining near 10$ million in cap relief should be good with our big contracts next season (Gay, Derozan, Lowry extension).
Plus, Kleiza can still be dealt along with a guy like Anderson.
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
Bargnani has no place on this team, now or in the future. There is no room for experimentation.
With guys like Demar and Rudy on the wing, we NEED someone who can space the floor better than Amir can.
While its awesome having Amirs hustle downlow, once JV comes back healthy, having both of them loaf around the paint will end up cramming the same lanes that were jammed in Memphis for Rudy.
Meanwhile, with Bargs knowing his role, and shutting mouth, this could be exactly the role he is made for. A floor spacing 4th option big, that can keep the defense honest.
#TradeBargnani if we must, but he'll have to play for the Raps a bit before we trade him, so we'll have to see anyway how it works.
ADD Would just like to clarify, that this is obviously assuming Bargs comes in with an understanding that he is no longer the "Hell or High Water" Option he used to be for this team.

I'm not at all concerned about how Bargnani "spaces" or "stretches" the floor. I'm 100% concerned about his defense, rebounding, and help-rotations.
No matter what you do with Bargnani on the offensive side of the ball, he'll always be clueless on the other end....which is why there is no room for experimentation. Bargnani has proven time and time again, that he's a net negative player. All other variables are inconsequential.
Now that that load will be spread far thinner, while also removing him all together from the 'pressure' equation, I think it could make a HUGE difference on all aspects of his game.
Perhaps I'm being foolish, with a slight case of Stockholm Syndrome, but I see a an ever-so-small window to make this relationship work.
I completely agree with Joey. He raises great points. Bargnanis bad defense should be remedied by Gay JV and Lowry, having Bargs on offense should open up so much space on the floor for Gay and DeRozan togo to work in all night.
#TradeBargnani no doubt but let me say this we have him for a little while longer lets see what happens he may even have better numbers without the notion in his head that hes "the guy" and has to take every shot that comes to him Bargnani is an offensive monster when relaxed.
The raptors are weak on help defense. They either play 1v1 or Zone. When Bargnani comes back and players are required to rotate, that's when their defense breaks down.
Now I would be crapping my pants if Barg's was playing Centre, but if Barg's was on the court with JV, AG, or AJ at all times, he's more suited for the PF position.
What I'm saying is, rather than help defense supporting Barg's, Barg's is the help defense.
So you don't have a situation where it's Barg's vs. Dwight Howard for example, or Tyson Chandler, where he'd get schooled.
Personally scoring isn't the problem with this team anymore. The way this team is built they can score with the best of them. They only thing Andrea brings is perimeter scoring and with have plenty of that. Rudy gay kind of operates in the same are as Andrea does.
He has no role on this team anymore. Too expensive to keep off the bench long term and a liability on defense if he starts. So i say play him off the bench and let him score, then ship him to fill areas of need.
Am interested to see how he plays off the bench when he returns..

Players inspire at annual golf tourney
Event raises money to run Players Trust programs
LA JOLLA, Calif. -- Care. Act. Inspire.
That's become the motto of the Major League Baseball Players Trust, and those qualities were evident in abundance Jan. 12-14, 2011, when dozens of active and former players gathered at the Lodge at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, Calif., for the seventh annual meeting of the players' collective charity.
The focus is fun -- with some business mixed in. The Players Trust golf tournament has become a highlight for players who team with sponsors to raise some of the money necessary to administer the wide range of programs in which the Trust is involved.
"The Players Trust does a lot of great work around the community, not just in this country but in a lot of Spanish-speaking countries as well," said Chris Capuano, who has been an active member of the Trust since breaking in with the Brewers.
The presenting sponsor for this year's event was 2K Sports, which has been a Trust sponsor since the event's inception. Other sponsors included Glaceau, Majestic, Major League Baseball, Protege Sports and Manfredi Jewels.
The golfers range from youngsters like Zach Braddock and Dexter Fowler to veterans like Mark Kotsay and Trevor Hoffman, who became a former player while this year's tournament was in progress. And even the most veteran players like the idea of rubbing elbows with Hall of Famers Eddie Murray, Ozzie Smith and Dave Winfield, who have become regulars during the tournament's seven years.
This year's event included rounds of golf at Del Mar Country Club and Torrey Pines South, whose grounds crew was well into preparation for the PGA Tour's Farmers Insurance Open. There were also meet-and-greet sessions with sponsors and supporters, a live auction and a laughter-filled night of bowling.
"But it's not all about golf and having fun," Capuano said. "That's a big part of it, but the great majority of players came out a day early to actively participate in the Trust's annual meeting."
What makes the Players Trust different than all of the charities in professional sports is that it's the only one to be run and administered by the players themselves -- an obligation the players take seriously. Thirty-one players and former players participated in the Players Trust's annual meeting on Jan. 12 before many of the golfers had arrived. The all-afternoon meeting is used to establish the Trust's priorities for the coming year.
"We go over all of the different Trust programs, and we collectively make decisions about how we can put our money and resources to the best use to impact the lives of the most people. There is a lot of active player involvement. The Trust is possible because there are a lot of conscientious players who want to make decisions and help run this thing."
It was just another call to serve for this committed group of players and former players. They cared. They acted. And they inspired.

I am tired of hearing about return to the Clinton tax rates. Lets look at reality in a simple way for the Tradlener detractors, as gleaned from data from OMB and the Tax Policy Center.
During the Clinton years, income tax rates ranged from 15 percent-39.6 percent. Now those same brackets, set to expire in January, are 10 percent-36 percent. If they expire, the evil rich will have a 10 percent increase, from 36 percent back to 39.6 percent. The lowest rate, on the least of the middle class, will increase 50 percent, from 10 percent to 15 percent. Who gets hit the hardest?
But what do federal revenues and spending look like?
During the Clinton years, at the higher rates, federal revenue rose from $1.154 to $1.991 trillion and spending rose from $1.409 to $1.882 trillion. And there never was a balanced budget: The debt continued to rise by $1.4 trillion, even though we had no major disasters except for a tax surcharge imposed on luxuries, such as yachts and jewelry, to soak the rich. The yacht builders went out of business and the jewelers suffered likewise because the rich just bought and maintained their luxuries overseas.
During the Bush years, with the lower income tax rates, revenue rose from $1.991 to $2.524 trillion and spending rose from $1.882 to $2.982 trillion. And this with suffering through the 2001 attack and two major natural disasters.
The deficit trend under Obama has tripled through 2011, the latest data available,
So, if we leave the income tax rates where they are (and even in this sluggish economy the revenue was $2.303 trillion in 2011), but return to the last year of Clintons spending (2001) at $1.882 trillion, that would result in $500 billion surplus to start paying down the debt.
The problem is not too little revenue. The problem is too much spending, especially since so much of it unconstitutional. Call your representatives, call your senators, tell them to put an end to this unsustainable spending madness.

The Cortez City Council gave the Cortez Cultural Center $3,000 from the money the city had allocated for grants in 2012.
The city had $4,100 remaining from the $30,000 2012 budget and the Cultural Center asked the city for $4,000, a $2,200 increase from what was awarded in 2011.
New Cultural Center Board President Shelby Smith and other board members made a presentation at Tuesdays council work session.
City Manager Shane Hale asked if all of the programs the Center wanted would continue with no director and lack of funds.
Smith said the money the Center was asking for would help the Center remain open.
We are just trying to survive, he said. We need help. Do what you can do for us. We are still here today.
Hale wanted to know how long the Centers board could sustain the energy to keep the organization from folding.
I really dont know all of what we will have to do, Smith responded. Why not try?
When the going gets tough you get tough, he added. This is too valuable to (give up).
Council member Ty Keel said it was important to support the Cultural Center.
I am always excited about the person who will put up a fight, he said.
Council member Matt Keefauver added that the Centers board could make it happen when talking about whether it could be forced to close its doors.
Keefauver also said it was a bold move by the Centers board to move forward without executive director, Shawn Collins.

storing all your checklists in RTM
I have a couple of checklists that I use for GTD weekly review, for packing while traveling etc. Earlier I used to store them as a google document but I found out that I did not get the satisfaction of checking them when completed. Also I did not want to shuttle between the RTM and google doc tabs while I was doing my weekly review. So now I have a list in RTM called "reference" where I store all my non-actionable items. All tasks that belong to a particular checklist, for e.g. GTD weekly review are tagged as "cl_weekly_review" and stored in them. The items are named with numbers so that they appear in sorted order. Now when I want to do my weekly review all I do is click on the "cl_weekly_review" tag in the tag cloud OR search for tag:cl_weekly_review and I get a nice list of items for that checklist ready to be completed and checked as done!

states and cities are working on bans that would prohibit texting
while driving and some are calling for a nationwide ban on the
practice. A study released by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) found that 1-in-4
teen drivers admit to texting while driving. Analysts believe the
number is much higher than what is being reported.
reports that even if a nationwide
ban on texting while driving were introduce, most teen drivers
would not stop texting. Texting is so ingrained into the life of
teens that they simply will do it any way according to one teen
interviewed by Reuters named Karen Cordova. She said, "Nobody
is going to listen."
One of the problems is that for
police to write citations for texting while driving they have to
catch the driver in the act. Catching people talking on the cell
phone and driving is easy to do, but if the driver is texting with
the device in their lap things are much more difficult.
California Highway Patrol has issued 163,000 citations to drivers for
talking while driving on the phone, but issued only 1,400 citations
for texting and driving.
Fran Clader, CHP spokesman said, "The
handheld cell phone is relatively easy for us to spot, we can see
when somebody has their phone up to their ear. But with the texting
it's a little bit more of a challenge to catch them in the act,
because we have to see it and if they are holding it down in their
lap it's going to be harder for us to see."
One teen
interviewed by Reuters said he only stopped texting while
driving after his cousin was in a serious accident while
Steven Bloch from the Automobile Club said, "What
I would say is that texting and cell phone devices have become such a
component of life for teens and for young people that it's hard for
them to differentiate between doing something normal and doing
something wrong."
Texting and driving is very much like
other risky behavior that many engage in when young. Young people
tend to feel like nothing can happen to them, that it will always be
there other people who have accidents or get caught. Cordova said,
"By the time they pull you over, the chances are you are going
to be done with your text anyway so they can't exactly prove that you
were texting."
A graphic
commercial aired in the UK to help stop texting and driving
showed teens in an accident caused by texting and driving.
President Obama recently signed an executive order banning
federal employees from texting while driving.

Crisis in Syria, part 1: Memories of summer camp
Today, we're kicking off a weekly series about the two-year conflict in Syria and the region's subsequent refugee crisis. Every Wednesday for the next several weeks, we'll have a new story or perspective on this situation, so check back!
Today's post is by Andrea Peer, World Vision communications manager, who remembers a different Syria from a visit 11 years ago -- and wonders about its future.
* * *
I couldn't believe what I was seeing, or hearing. On one hand, it seemed so normal; but on the other hand, this was Syria, which, only weeks earlier, had been tagged as a "rogue state" by a U.S. official.
In a room full of bunk beds and giggling girls, the pastor's wife began to play a large accordion. This was the first night of church summer camp in a sleepy little village on the west coast of Syria.
Beautiful, minor-key music filled the room, and all the girls began singing along -- except me. I was a recent college grad, spending a summer in the Middle East, not knowing a word of Arabic.
Huda, the pastor's wife and camp coordinator, soon noticed that I wasn't singing and stopped all the girls in order to teach me the songs. I took phonetic notes, then tried to join.
This was not how I had pictured Syria. Syria has been on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism since I was born. I had been nervous to come to such a place. But during my short stay, I fell in love with the green rolling hills of the coast, the breathtaking desert of the inland, the ruins, the camels, and the singing, giggling children.
I spent a week with these children, having water-balloon fights, shooting hoops, painting faces, listening to Bible lessons in Arabic, watching the World Cup, and laughing as 14-year-old boys imitated Britney Spears.
That was almost 11 years ago: May 2002. Carina -- the sweet, blonde 12-year-old girl who wanted her photo taken with me -- would now be 23. I wonder what has happened to these children.
Has their quiet little village remained untouched? Is Carina still alive?
The news from Syria today is depressing and overwhelming.
In the past two years of violence, the United Nations estimates that 70,000 men, women, and children have been killed. Between 1.5 and 2.5 million Syrians have been displaced within the country, and nearly 1 million people have sought refuge in neighboring countries, including more than 100,000 since February 1.
Where are all those summer camp children today? Carina might have a family of her own by now. Is she still in her village, or did she flee for the safety and survival of her family?
Behind the violence and the images in the news, I know there is another Syria -- a place where families enjoy sipping their tea together, going to church together, and, hopefully somewhere, an accordion is still playing and children are singing.
Make a one-time donation to help World Vision provide emergency assistance for Syrian refugees. Your gift will help us deliver basic hygiene kits and food vouchers for refugee families, as well as established Child-Friendly Spaces to provide affected children with a safe place to play, learn, and interact with their peers.
Please join us in prayer for all World Vision staff members working around the world, particularly in this region of conflict.
Also, consider joining World Vision's Hope Prayer Team. Each month, you'll receive an email containing suggested prayer points for those in need, for World Vision's work, and for our staff -- as well as news from around the world, guided prayer points for urgent requests, and links to other ways you can care for children in need.

DailyTech had
the privilege of attending a special press event on Friday where Ford
showed off a former truck and sport utility vehicle plant in Wayne
County, Michigan that was being converted to an assembly plant for
small C segment vehicles, like the upcoming 2012
Ford Focus battery electric vehicle (BEV). While we'll have
to wait until CES to reveal much of the exciting tech that was
previewed, we did get some interesting commentary from Ford
executives, including CEO Alan Mulally, himself.
We kicked
things off by interviewing Ford's Chief Focus Engineer Jim Hughes
about the shift in engineering from the U.S. to Europe. As part
of its effort to globalize resources and cut engineering expenses
under the One Ford initiative, Ford has cut down on redundant
engineering. In the past, some small vehicles like the Focus
sold under the same model name were designed separately in Europe and
the U.S. resulting in distinct North American and European variants –
Ford is now trying to design at only one location. For the
Focus, that means that the American engineering was phased out, and
the European team was kept as the sole world design team.
chatted with Mr. Hughes and asked if this shift was the sign of a
growing trend for Ford, in terms of opting to retain the European
engineering and design teams, but cutting out the redundant American
engineering and design resources. Mr. Hughes commented, "It's
not a growing trend, that's just the way we do it [with the
He pointed out that many Ford vehicles, like the
Ford F-150 truck are still designed exclusively in the U.S.
the growing popularity of small European cars in North American, we
asked him if Ford was seeing any of the opposite trend -- European
buyers looking for larger vehicles. He commented, "Certain
cars done in North America like the Taurus are too large for European
roads. However, some bigger vehicles, like those in the CD
class we fell can do pretty well [in Europe]."
Next we
managed to track down Ford CEO Alan Mulally amid a gaggle of
television and press reporters. We asked him about upcoming
2012 Ford Focus electric (the BEV, not to be confused with the
C-segment plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) which Ford is also
working on).
We asked him how the role of the plug-in
and battery EVS in Ford's future. He responded, "We've got
a lot of room to improve the internal combustion engine. Number one
priority. Basic foundation. Then we follow with
alternative fuels -- so we're making all of our vehicles able to
handle alternative fuels. That follows with the hybrids.
Hybrids, the real key on the hybrids is, of course, improving the
battery technology, both the size and efficiency and getting the cost
down with the volume. Then follows the all-electric vehicles.
Then one version of the all-electric that will follow will be the
plug-in (PHEV). Now the plug-in and the all electric, those
solutions will be very dependent on systems solutions in partnerships
with the government. Because not only do you need to use the
electricity clean, but you gotta be able to generate the electricity
clean. So this is an important element, but it will follow that
technology plan."
We next queried, "Do you feel GM will
launch their Volt a little prematurely? Because the Focus
plug-in seems like it would be able to take on the Volt at some
Mr. Mulally punted on that question, quipping,
"I'm sorry I missed that last sentence. No not that part,
the part about it being competitive!"
We responded, "[We]
think it would be."
And he replied, "I think you're
We next chatted some more with Ford's Gunnar
Herrmann, director of the Global C Platform, about Ford's upcoming EV
and diesels. He commented that the battery system in EV's "is
space intensive" and industry-wide difficulties with costs and
wait may make Ford's decision to wait a year a smart one. He
comments, "Conceptually we need more time [to improve the
He says diesel
is the current best solution. He comments, "If you want
the most efficient [solution] at the moment it would be an engine
like the Focus 1.6L [I4 Diesel TDCI]."
When asked if
Americans will ever become more enthusiastic about diesel, he states,
"I don't think so."
He states, "The Japanese
said, 'We're going hybrid.' They made the the call."
comments that in Europe stricter emissions restrictions on soot and nitrogen compound emissions [Euro 6] may make diesels less viable in
their current stronghold as well. He states, "It would not
surprise me if the diesel remained in Europe only as a performance
When asked about diesel hybrid vehicles and their
efficiency potential, he said that "high costs" were
holding that type of vehicle back. He comments though that they
seem a very "good solution" should the market ever choose
to accept them.

Better than Jim 'N Nick's Cheesy Biscuits
57 comments
I think I'd like a dozen right now. These look great. Will be trying them soon.ReplyDelete
p.s. hope Mr. Chicken Legs has a wonderful Father's Day.ReplyDelete
I'm with Japanese Redneck, I'll take 12.ReplyDelete
I always love biscuits, and with your recipe with the addition of cheddar cheese, fabulous, now I can eat over a dozen.ReplyDelete
Your biscuits look fantastic! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love the design of your blog by the way, especially the chicken avatar.ReplyDelete
As we call them (from another restaurant) the "biscuits with the cheese all up in 'em!" I must try these - they look fabulous :)ReplyDelete
I didn't get any cheese flavor. I think I'd just leave the cheese out and save the money and calories. These would make a great breakfast biscuit.ReplyDelete
These are awesome!! My whole family loved them, and they truly are close to Jim & Nick's. Thank you!! :)ReplyDelete
In the oven right now. Thanks!ReplyDelete
I love this recipe and blog...I posted it on my community foodie blog. Hope you can come check it out http://www.facebook.com/thefrenchiefoodieReplyDelete
Also, feel free to post you're recipes or you're favourite foodie tips on it whenever you like!
I will have to try these. I always make the ones on Pioneer Woman's site, and they are DELICIOUS, but they require 3 cups of cheese, which can get pricey. Thanks for the recipe!ReplyDelete
This recipe is unbelievable. i followed the directions to the T and slapped some honey and butter on them. The vivid photos made me want to make a batch. I will be making them throughout the holiday season along with many other things I'm sure. It is great to save as much as possible when you shop. I found some great usable coupons on there and saved more than change to say the least. Take a look before you shop next.ReplyDelete
These are so yummy! Made them along with BBQ chicken for dinner. Thank you for posting this recipe!ReplyDelete
WOW! they look truly amazing! I spotted that one of our users pinned this up to her Pinspire collection and I just wanted to verify that this is okay with you. Don't hesitate to get in touch for the link (firstname.lastname@example.com)BestReplyDelete
I can't wait to try these!! When I saw the name, I knew you had to be from around Bham. I went to college there and miss it very much. I absolutely love Jim n Nicks biscuits (I call them cupcakes) Thanks for this recipe!ReplyDelete
I tried these today and I find them too sweet. I think I will omit the sugar and give these another try.ReplyDeleteReplies
I think they're a little sweet for me, too. I made some today and they were good, but it was more like a dessert. I'm going to cut the sugar in half or more, up the cheese, and add some garlic salt. I sprinkled a little on the ones I made and it really jacked the flavor up a notch.Delete
Everyone in my family loved these. Quick to make, clean and eat!!!ReplyDelete
Thank you, our dinner was cooked but just stumbled upon this and happened to have some buttermilk so whipped up a batch and they are in the oven now!!ReplyDelete
What's a good substitute for buttermilk if none on hand?ReplyDelete
Catzmum - 4 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar, or fresh lemon juice and 1 cup milkReplyDelete
You can also just use milk.
I put this on my menu for this week, I can't wait to try them out! I linked to your blog, hoping you don't mind.ReplyDelete
Does this need the vanilla? I'm not much of a baker so I don't have this handy. Looks yummy though!ReplyDeleteReplies
Kristin - the biscuits I was copying are slightly sweet. You can leave the vanilla out and they will be ok. They will just taste slightly different, but not bad.Delete
These were made exactly as written and they are awesome. Wouldn't change a thing. I served with honey butter as suggested. Yum!ReplyDelete
I noticed that some are posting that these biscuits are sweet. If they are anything remotely like Jim n Nick's, you made them exactly right! We love Jim n Nick's but only enjoy the biscuits while they are super warm because the longer they sit, the sweeter they get! Thanks for the recipe!!ReplyDelete
I saw this recipe on Pinterest this morning and had to try them. I made them just as the recipe says and had them with bacon. Just the perfect amount of sweetness! Yummy! Thanks for the recipe :)ReplyDelete
I'm not much of a baker so can I use bisquick complete or does it have to be the original?ReplyDelete
jaclyn - I haven't tried the bisquick complete yet, but I think it would be fine to swap it for the regular bisquickReplyDelete
Thank you for the recipe! I'm planning on making this! But I was wondering is vanilla, vanilla extract?ReplyDelete
& If it is not, would it be ok if I used vanilla extract?Replies
Rc - vanilla is vanilla extractDelete
So yummie. My hubby will love them!ReplyDelete
Does the use of sharp cheddar throw off the flavor? I used sharp cheddar, and felt that the biscuits weren't sweet enough.ReplyDelete
I'm not a big fan of the sweetness but they were good my family LOVED THEM. Thanks!! ;-)ReplyDelete
I'm not a big fan of the sweetness but they were good my family LOVED THEM. Thanks!! ;-)ReplyDelete
I'm not a big fan of the sweetness but they were good my family LOVED THEM. Thanks!! ;-)ReplyDelete
My kids beg to go to Jim N Nicks every night. They won't eat anything, but the biscuits, so I thought I'd give these a try. Dinner's not quite ready yet and they've each had one. They can't wait to sit down at the table to have more. Thanks!ReplyDelete
I didn't taste any of the cheese... and the bisquick made them taste like pancakes. I have to put syrup on them just to make myself eat them. I found the actual recipe for jim n' nick's biscuits. Jim N' Nick's wins by far. These were a waste of resources. Gross.ReplyDeleteReplies
So where is the actual recipe for Jim n Nick's biscuitsDelete
I don't add sugar.I brush them with melted butter and garlic powder after I take them out of the oven.ReplyDelete
I love Jim N nicks biscuits, so I am looking forward to trying these! Going to make them for Thanksgiving... assuming they will last that long! Thank you!!ReplyDelete
These look absolutely heavenly. I'd eat them all!ReplyDelete
Made these today. Turned out great. Grand Kids and everyone loved them. All gone!! Next time, I'm going to add some ham.
I am wondering if adding garlic powder into these would make them taste even better. That would really remind me of the Red Lobster biscuits then.ReplyDelete
Cheesy, sweet, delicate and WONDERFUL.
Love these and will make again and again.
Just wish I hadn't eaten so many.
Hi! I'm azlin from Malaysia. Don't think we have Bisquick here. What can I use as a substitute?. I do sure wanna try making this.ReplyDelete
Add a tsp. of garlic powder and you've got garlic biscuits. Awesome!ReplyDelete
@azlin: If Bisquick is not available where you live in Malaysia, here is a great old-fashioned Cheese Biscuit recipe that is very tasty:ReplyDelete
Cheddar Cheese Biscuits Recipe
Yield: 12 large biscuits or 18 small ones
2 cups/250g all-purpose flour (unbleached or regular)
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/3 cup/75g butter, cold, cut into chunks
2 Tbsp. canola or any flavourless, odourless vegetable oil
1 heaping cup/ 6-7 oz. /150-170g grated cheddar cheese (sharp flavoured is best)
1/2 – 2/3 cup or 120-160 ml milk
For brushing on top after baking:
3 Tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. dried parsley flakes or 1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder.
Add the cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or 2 knives or even a fork, cut butter into flour until it is coarse, pea-sized (doesn't need to be fine).
Add oil, grated cheddar cheese and the milk. Stir till well combined and holds together.
Make sure to keep adding milk a bit at a time, just until the dough is moistened and you can no longer see any raw flour.
Drop approximately 1/4 cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet using an ice cream scoop or large spoon.
Bake for 15-17 minutes in a preheated oven at 400F/.
While biscuits are baking, melt 3 tablespoons butter is a small bowl with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and the parsley & mix well.
When biscuits come out of the oven, use a brush to spread this garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Do this a few times – it's fun to watch all the butter getting absorbed into the biscuit! Use up all of the butter. Serve warm for best flavour.
Oh my I didn't realize so many people actually eat at Red Lobster!! But Jim n Nick's cheese biscuits are awesome! Ate there yesterday, just enough sweetness that I don't feel like I'm eating a bunch of bread before the pulled pork sandwich comes!! They sell their mix in the restaurant but may try this recipe just for fun. The ingredient list is not expensive by any means!ReplyDelete
These were wonderful with our chicken chiliReplyDeleteReplies
So glad you enjoyed them! I wish I had one right now!!Delete
Could you use a regular muffin pan?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, just increase the baking time about 5 minutes or so.Delete
I tried this recipe because it looked quick and easy, it was the biggest mistake! This recipe was disgusting, the taste of vanilla did not mix well with the rest of the ingredients.ReplyDelete
Shouldn't this recipe include an egg?ReplyDelete
Could I substitute the buttermilk with whole milk?ReplyDelete
I made these last night and they were sooo good. I ate too many of them! I have two questions though...who are Jim and Nick? We live in rural Virginia so I am frequently clueless. The dough seemed to be very gooey so I added a bit more flour. Are they supposed to pour rather then spoon into the muffin tins? Thanks.ReplyDelete

At CES
2010 we had a brief discussion with Jeff Lovell, an engineer
in Toyota's Integrated Vehicle Systems (IVS) group, located in Ann
Arbor, Michigan. That discussion eventually led to us getting
the chance to get a personal briefing on Toyota's IVS efforts.Amid
quality concerns and recent recalls, Toyota is looking to improve the
safety of its cars. Toyota, however, is not alone in that
objective -- across the industry, many
companies are trying to come up with solutions to
safeguard drivers from their own errors, and additionally help guide
drivers to the optimal speed to prevent traffic congestion and fuel
waste.The answer to these problems may well lie with
integrated vehicle systems. Integrated systems on a most basic
level consist of wireless devices that let cars "talk" to
each other and to roadside devices in order to take safety
precautions or give the driver advice.Toyota is a participant
on CAMP (Crash Avoidance Metrics Project), a project organized by
the Vehicle
Safety Communications Consortium 3 (VSC3) [PDF], an
automaker alliance that is comprised of Nissan, Honda, Toyota,
Hyundai-Kia, Ford, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen.
Toyota is also a member of Intellidrive,
which contains the same players minus Hyundai-Kia and with BMW and
Chrysler added. VSC3 handles more of the tech development,
while Intellidrive champions the business and policy side of the
technology.Jeff Lovell describes Toyota's personal progress
in the field describing, "Maybe you saw an out of control car
coming." He says the company has demonstrated systems, including
a 2008 New York Auto
Show demo, which apply the brake in such a scenario,
assuming the car has access to communications with the other vehicle
or roadside sensors.Toyota is making an effort to give the
driver as much flexibility as possible. The driver will first
get a set of increasingly urgent visual and audio warnings. If
they ignore them, auto braking may be applied to prevent an accident,
but even then the driver can retake control. Describes Mr.
Lovell, "If auto braking were to start, if the users applies the
brake or throttle all [automated] braking is canceled."Toyota's
IVS team tells us that their goal is to "equip every car"
with IVS safety features, from the cheapest Toyota models to the
highest end Lexus luxury vehicles. However, it won't be easy.
Stakes Hideki Hada, the group's manager, "Someone needs to work
really hard to make something like this happen."The
communications standards are already well established by industry
groups according to Toyota's IVS group members. An IVS today
consists of wireless transmitters built into cars, communicating on
the IEEE
802.11p standard and the 1609.x
standards. They pass messages in the format SAE
J2375. The hardware used is all standard -- the IVS
software can be loaded onto a preexisting automotive embedded
microcontroller, or a second ECU. The only extra component
needed in terms of hardware is the wireless
transmitter.The National
Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) and
the Research and
Innnovative Technology Association (RITA), the two U.S.
government groups overseeing the technology, will make a critical
decision in 2013 that will affect whether these safety features will
make it into cars in the short term. The groups will rule
whether to acknowledge if the technologies have advanced sufficiently
to make a difference the crash safety ratings. Without this
acknowledgment, most manufacturers will not put the systems in the
vehicles as the majority of customers will not know about or be able
to appreciate the extra investment in each vehicle and, more
significantly, in roadside infrastructure.If the 2013 verdict
is in the favor of IVS systems like Toyota's, a variety of
technologies could be implemented. Toyota showed us one example
that applies the brakes if vehicles signal to each other that they
are getting too close. Another example applies the brakes if
the driver is going to run a red light or hit a pedestrian on a cross
walk. A final example is a signal between the driver and road
lights which tells the driver the speed to follow to make a string of
green lights.The technology certainly sounds promising both
for making driving more efficient and safer. However, it will
come at a major cost. Initial deployment would likely involve
installing communications devices and sensors on highway entrance
ramps and traffic lights in major cities. Eventually the
technology would spread across much of the rest of the nation's roads
making for "smart" connected roads and vehicles.A
common question among DailyTech readers
is when cars will be
able to "drive themselves". Lorenzo Caminiti,
Toyota's IVS Assistant Manager says that the focus is now merely on
safety, but once the infrastructure for these basic IVS technologies
was in place, richer applications like automated driving would become
more feasible.Ultimately, the group expressed a mix of
optimism and concerns about the pace of adoption here in the U.S.
IVS technology has already been deployed to Japanese roadways,
starting with Tokyo, thanks to a major Japanese commitment.
Toyota's Japanese models now have some of these auto braking features
built in, and they are already helping to save lives. The U.S.
trails Japan, according to the team, but they are actually ahead of
China and the European Union -- both of which currently are only in
the beginning stages of considering IVS.In the end, the
entire world and the global industry is headed to the same place
according to Toyota's engineers. A smart global road system that can
communicate with cars and supports relaying intercar signals.
That's something to look forward to in coming years.DailyTech
would like to thank Jeff Lovell and Toyota External Affairs
Specialist Cynthia Mahalak for setting up this interview.

It is no coincidence that the graphics division of AMD is premiering this marketing salvo on the same day that it launches its first mainstream value DirectX 11 graphics cards priced at under $100. The company has already sold over 2 million DirectX 11 cards to enthusiasts and the mainstream performance segment, and recently launched DirectX 11 Mobility Radeon parts for notebooks.
The mainstream value segment is primarily composed of Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) and casual gamers. They might be using integrated or low-end graphics cards that came with their computer. Although many would like to improve their visual experience, many of them are uncomfortable with opening up their computers.
The idea for the monkey upgrade video apparently came from Chris Hook, the head honcho of AMD's graphics PR department, who wanted to show how easy and painless a graphics card upgrade could be. Mr. Hook is no stranger to unusual ideas, but this one takes the cake.
AMD and its PR company found a professional monkey trainer who trained Louie the monkey for over a month, but actual production shooting only took a single day. Louie started off with watching videos on video card installation, and progressed to practicing the installations.
Louie performs almost all of the tasks himself, such as unscrewing the side panel and placing the card in the slot. However, he was unable to physically push the Radeon card into the PCIe slot enough for proper seating or push the power button enough to turn it on.
Nevertheless, the video is very entertaining, even if you already know how to install a video card.

Osteoarthritis (OA) develops over time due to a variety of factors. There are no known ways to prevent OA, but there are steps to help keep your bones and joints healthy:
- Maintain a healthy weight to reduce stress on your body's joints.
- If possible, avoid activities that require intense, repetitive motion on joints that are susceptible to OA, such as the knee.
- Get regular exercise to strengthen muscles. Strong muscles absorb shock and protect the joint from excess stress. Weak muscles, cause excess stress and wearing on the joint.
Healthy bones and joints may delay the onset OA or decrease the severity.

Louis L. McAllister Photographs
Collection Overview
Louis L. McAllister photographed people and places near Burlington, Vermont for 60 years. He was born in Columbus, Nebraska on October 16, 1876, the son of Julius S. McAllister (born 1841 in Lincoln, VT) and Rosette Gould (born in Vermont in 1851). Julius McAllister worked as a photographer and dentist in Washington D.C., Bristol, Vermont and Columbus, Nebraska. Around 1895, Julius, his third wife Amy, and their children left Nebraska for the Union Soldiers' Colony in Fitzgerald, Georgia. By 1900, Julius and Amy were divorced, and Amy and her stepson Louis were working as photographers in Thomasville, Georgia.
In 1907 Louis McAllister married Cora Shepard (born about 1872 in Vermont) in Holland, Michigan. By 1910, they were living in Queen City Park in South Burlington, Vermont, where Louis established a photography studio. The McAllisters moved to Burlington, and by 1919 they lived at 47 N. Winooski Avenue. They continued to occupy a summer cottage at Queen City Park, and were active in the Queen City Park Association, which held spiritualist camp meetings annually. McAllister conducted his photography business from home until his death in 1963.
McAllister's "trademark" was his panorama camera which made him familiar to all sorts of groups ranging from graduating classes to state police to summer camp groups. In addition he did print 8 x 10 photos, many of which document building construction and Burlington Street Department projects, as well as group and individual portraits.
The L.L. McAllister Collection includes portraits, construction projects, buildings, businesses and events in the Burlington area covering the period ca. 1920-1960. The collection also includes photos of street, bridge, airport and sewer construction and repair, as well as group portraits of clubs, schools, etc.

Now or never: take a stand on human trafficking legislation
Recently, Jessica Bosquette shared how she saw the Trafficking Victims Protection Act make a difference in the lives of children in the Dominican Republic. She also shared that if Americans failed to tell their senators they want the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act to pass, the positive results it has yielded will be gone. Today, Jesse Eaves, WV Policy Advisor on child protection, provides an update on the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act. He has news that requires a response-- if Americans want to see results, we must act soon.
* * *
There's no doubt about it – it's been a scorcher in Washington, D.C.
Luckily for us, the heat outside is only matched by the heat inside Congress to take action on the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) S.1301.
But now we can turn up the heat. We have to make it a political necessity for U.S. senators to vote 'yes' for this legislation.
'It's time for Congress to act'
On July 17, Senators Patrick Leahy from Vermont and Marco Rubio from Florida came together across the aisle to write an opinion piece in the newspaper Roll Call on the importance of passing the TVPRA. Their central message: "We introduced this legislation one year ago, and it is time for Congress to act." Truer words were never spoken.
For more than a year, advocates across the country have called, emailed, and met with their elected leaders, telling them to pass this legislation and make the Unites States a global leader in the fight against slavery once again. Contrary to what you might believe, Congress doesn't act unless you tell them to.
Last week, I met with senate staff who also work tirelessly promoting the TVPRA. They praised all the citizens who called and persuaded their U.S. senators to cosponsor this bipartisan bill.
During the meeting, the message to us, the organizations working in Washington, was simple: Your job is done.
Their message to you, the constituents is this: It's now or never.
Here's why. On July 27, Congress began their summer recess, which lasts until September. When they return, there will be a small window of time to get the TVPRA to the senate floor for a vote.
Your U.S. senators need to know you still care about this bill. If they don't hear from you right now, they will assume you don't think it's an important issue. You need to prove them wrong.
Clicking "Like" on Facebook won't cut it
If you think it's wrong to enslave a man, woman, or child; if you want to stand up to injustice. If you want to be a central player in the fight against modern day slavery, you must to call your U.S. senators every week between now and September and convince them to vote for the TVPRA.
To those of you who have already called or written, thank you. Please keep the heat turned up so the bill passes.
If you don't, the centerpiece of the United Sates fight against human slavery will die. It's time to fly in the face of the "slacktivism" we hear so much about these days. Clicking "Like" on Facebook won't cut it. We need to show we want our elected leaders to act.
It's that simple. Feeling the pressure yet? Now go turn that pressure on your U.S. senators.
I leave you with the inspiring call to action from Senators Leahy and Rubio:
Part of what makes America exceptional is our compassion as a nation and our understanding that our most fundamental freedoms are not uniquely American privileges but are instead universal human rights. Trafficking is an affront to human dignity that we cannot ignore. The United States shines as a beacon of hope to so many who face human rights abuses abroad. We cannot sit back idly while this injustice continues not only elsewhere in the world, but also here at home.
Our laws must be renewed and updated to protect victims and improve our government's ability to combat modern-day slavery. No matter where they are in the world, the victims of human trafficking need a strong America to champion their cause as our own.
Call your U.S. senators now and keep calling them until they get the message: Americans want to stop slavery. Vote for the TVPRA S.1301!
You have an opportunity to be a voice for the voiceless. Let your senator know you care about human trafficking and the TVPRA- call them today!
You can see which senators have sponsored the bill by clicking here and selecting 'cosponsors.' If your senator isn't on that list- it's extremely important that you call weekly. Senators need to know that the people they represent care about the U.S. leading this effort against human wrong.

Due to split power planes,
the IMC can be clocked down independently of the CPU cores, along with reduced
voltage. This also enables CPU overclocking without touching the memory
frequency, something that may appeal to enthusiasts. These features are again
dependent on Socket AM2+ and F+ platforms.
Amato explained how the
quad-core design benefits from the internal crossbar switch the backbone of
communication inside the K10 CPU. With Intel's current quad-core design there
are cases where data needs to travel over the FSB -- in AMDs case all inter-CPU
communication takes place on-die.
The crossbar switch of the
K10 core is already prepared for up to 8 cores, Amato boasted. Amato wouldn't
give even a vague timeframe for market availability of such a CPU, though he
indicated the company is prepared for whatever the market demands. Amato made
clear that octo-core is far away in the future – Shanghai will not get 8
K10 will introduce a shared
L3 cache while the individual cores have dedicated L1 and L2 caches. As long as
requested data lies in L1, it can be directly loaded. This also works if the
data lies in the L1 cache of another core, in which case the communication
works via the crossbar switch. In case requested data resides in the L2 cache,
it will be loaded to L1 and then invalidated in L2 as AMD has an exclusive
cache design. The L3 Cache, however, is not exclusive, but allows for a shared
bit to be set. If a core loads data marked as shared, it will reside in the L3
cache and can be fetched by other cores as well.
Amato also mentioned an
array of power saving measures which, in sum, allow AMD to deliver a quad-core
CPU in the same thermal envelope as today's dual-core CPUs.
K10 adds the capability of
independently clocking all the CPU cores. In current K8 processors (and Intel's
Core 2 generation), all cores are clocked at the same level all the time -- the
P-state can only be changed synchronously. In case of a compute-intensive
single-threaded process, all cores must run on the highest level P-state. On
K10-based CPUs, the idle cores could be switched to the lowest P-state, while
others are in different states, depending on load.
This feature could possibly
be abused by overclockers to overclock a single core above the specified
levels. Amato clarified that AMD doesn't endorse overclocking, but acknowledges
there are people interested in that. In a warranty case, AMD could detect PLL
programmings out of spec which would deny the warranty. The new cores, however,
have new thermal sensors, to improve overheating protection.
Amato closed the session by
mentioning Shanghai as a successor to Barcelona in the server
space for 2008. Shanghai will be an improved quad-core architecture,
which is supposed to be socket-compatible with current Socket F platforms.
Roadmaps available to DailyTech revealed Shanghai is a 45nm
quad-core CPU featuring 6MB of L3 Cache.

The Narraguinep Reservoir is at its lowest point in 10 years, but there is enough water to supply irrigation needs for the rest of the season.
Thats the word from Don Magnuson, general manager for the Montezuma Valley Irrigation Co.
On Thursday, Magnuson said the reservoir was at a depth of 20 feet and held more than 1,000 acre-feet of water.
It looks like theres just a puddle, he said. We expect it to go into winter at that level.
The needs for the remaining irrigation season will come out of the Dolores River, Groundhog Reservoir and McPhee Reservoir, he said.
As water shareholders allocations are up, the company is turning them off, Magnuson said. There are some 1,400 shareholders in the company. Slightly more than half are large shareholders. Slightly fewer than half own five shares or less.
The board has extensive discussions about their water allocation every month, Magnuson said.
A MVIC board of directors meeting will be held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday at the MVIC office, 11501 Highway 491.
The drought is having an impact on reservoirs all over the state, Magnuson said. On Thursday, Groundhog had 4,730 acre-feet of water.
According to the Dolores Water Conservation District, McPhee held 219,2191 acre-feet as of Thursday. Of that figure, 67,241 acre-feet is active capacity, or water available for release, and 151,978 acre-feet is the minimum pool.
In early August, DWCD manager Mike Preston reported that McPhee had reached its lowest level in nine years.
He said that the reservoir is projected to have 36,000 acre-feet of water remaining in the active pool on Nov. 1, with the surface of the lake at the elevation of 6,870, a drop of 11 feet from its current level.

At our clinics, with your paid examination, your pet will receive all due vaccines at 50% off the regular price. Also, we'll show you the right products for your pet based on breed, lifestyle, etc. It's one of the nicest things you can do for a healthy, happy pet! Start by making an appointment today.
Preventive Care is key to your pet's overall health:
Vaccines and regular health exams are key preventive care measures and are critical to the well being of your pets to help protect them from potentially deadly infectious diseases.
VCA veterinarians recommend:
Giving core vaccines to dogs (distemper, canine adenovirus, parvovirus and rabies)
Giving core vaccines to cats (panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and rabies)
Starting a vaccine program between 6 and 9 weeks of age to begin proper lifelong protection
Giving vaccines every 3 weeks until a pet reaches 15 to 17 weeks of age. This time interval allows for maximum immune response and therefore, the best protection.
Boostering pets one year after the puppy or kitten hood vaccines
Vaccinating thereafter every 1 to 3 years (or as recommended by your VCA veterinarian) depending on a pet's lifestyle and risk factors
We make preventing disease easy. Our Preventive Care Clinics are offered on certain day(s) and times during the week to allow us to focus on the preventive care needs of our patients during those times. If it is time for your pets' vaccinations, then request an appointment today during one of our Preventive Care Clinics and take advantage of our offer.

Amazon.com has long been the leader in online
application hosting, with its Amazon Web Services business. This
business allows customers to utilize Amazon's cloud computing
infrastructure to procure computing and storage resources as a utility.
In the past, web developers had two main options: use Amazon to host their applications, or host
their own applications.
Now, after a swirl of rumors, Google announced that it is
prepared to take
on Amazon in the application hosting business. Google will deploy its
new business called the Google App Engine which will allow users to write code
and deploy it. The new business promises to deliver unparalleled scaling
potential, flexing the muscle of Google's claimed 1 million servers. Many
analysts lauded the move as it provides Google another opportunity to expand
into a different business market.
Analysts think that large application hosting companies will
largely replace individual hosting for storage and deployment of web
applications. This move will save smaller companies time and hassle with
setup, system administration, and maintenance. Google's strong capacity
in the server market primes it to be able to handle the massive spikes that
frequently occur in online traffic. To combat such occurrences, Google
will also use its automatic replication and load balancing technologies, as
well as its Bigtable database system.
Another feature of Google's system that may make it more
attractive to many developers than Amazon's is the ability to use Google's
APIs. Authentication and Gmail
will be among the easy to plugin APIs as Google says "it's unnecessary
and inefficient for developers to write components like authentication and
e-mail from scratch for each new application."
Google's experience in developing its own SAAS (software as a
service) applications and dealing with their massive growth, make it a logical
fit for helping others in the applications hosting business. These
applications deal with millions of petabytes and users without a hitch, so
Google should be prepared for the worst its customers might give.
The company has been extremely secretive about its data
centers, with only a few people knowing how it works. Many speculate that
they are composed of "Hadoop, Linux and just about any piece of
open-source software that works." However, few doubt their prowess.
Some speculate that the move may force Amazon to cut its rates
for its EC2
(Elastic Compute Cloud) infrastructure, which currently is at 10 to 80 cents
per instance hour, and its S3
(Simple Storage Service), which currently costs 15 cents per gigabyte per
Google has not announced pricing yet, so this may be the
biggest deciding factor. A beta version of the service is available for
free to the first 10,000 developers to volunteer. Developers will only be
allowed 500MB of storage and enough CPU resources to handle 5 million page
views per month per application. Eventually additional bandwidth and
storage will be purchasable as the service moves out of beta.
In other news Google defended its policy of retaining data on
all its users for 18 months on Monday. Responding to criticism
from the European Union, Google said
the policy is essential to improving its search results. The EU
commission complained that computer Web addresses and cookie monitoring are
personal information that Google
needs to do more to protect and purge. The commission's
recommendations for European data protection laws have finally been released
and are readable here. This will likely have a major effect on Google and
its fellow online players.
The recommendation recommends increased user notification and
making it punishable by law to not do so. Cookies, which track a user's
comings and goings, are widely used by Google to track user behavior and target
ads, but this practice has been criticized as invasive of privacy. The
committee responsible for the report, known as the Working Party stated in the
report, "It is the opinion of the Working Party that search engines in
their role as collectors of user data have so far insufficiently explained the
nature and purpose of their operations to the users of their services.
The Working Party does not see a basis for a retention period beyond 6
Peter Fleischer, Google's global privacy counsel issued a
statement Monday, taking issue with the findings. He stated, "We
believe that data retention requirements have to take into account the need to provide quality
products and services for users, like accurate search results, as well as
system security and integrity concerns."
If the EU chooses to legislate such actions, Google may have
its own day in court, like its rival Microsoft did over antitrust issues.

The prodigal father
World Vision writer and photographer Laura Reinhardt writes today about a father in Honduras whose faith brought him back to his family.
* * *
Francisco Rodriguez took any work he could find, usually construction. He had to leave his family to find day jobs in the nearby town of La Esperanza, in western Honduras.
"Sometimes he would work and only make enough money for the day, so it was really, really a difficult life," says his wife, Carmen Arriaga.
Struggling to survive in Honduras's Yamaranguila region, this family of eight faced other challenges, too. When Francisco couldn't find work, he often stayed in town drinking. Carmen and her daughters never knew whether he would come home drunk or with money; if it turned out to be the former, they never knew what was going to happen.
Sometimes Carmen locked him out of the house. She knew it would make him angry, but she was angry, too.
In 2003, Carmen was pregnant with the last of the couple's six children. Because she always came to her appointments alone, her doctor thought she was a single mother. When Francisco finally went with her, the doctor reprimanded him and asked him if he attended church, wondering why his faith wasn't influencing his behavior.
Francisco did go to Mass, but only to keep the seat warm. Still, the doctor's words got him thinking.
That year, World Vision invited Francisco to participate in agricultural training. Francisco owned land, but it lay fallow because Francisco had to travel to La Esperanza for work so often. But with World Vision's training, Francisco was soon equipped to grow crops, and he embraced the new opportunity to support his family -- an opportunity that kept him away from the city and all of its temptations.
Participating in World Vision's work, Francisco began to see how faith in Christ motivated the staff. As a result, Francisco's own faith began to grow.
Also that year, Father Lucio arrived to serve in Francisco's community. Dividing his parish into smaller groups, he hoped to strengthen the communities. Inspired by Father Lucio's teaching, Francisco began to attend church regularly.
As Francisco's relationship with Father Lucio grew, the priest asked Francisco to be in charge of one of the community groups. Francisco agreed, but wondered whether he could handle that responsibility.
Through that leadership role, Carmen remembers that her husband "was touched by God, so he could change."
In April 2012, World Vision introduced Channels of Hope in Yamaranguila -- a multi-faceted program that encourages Christians to understand their role as followers of Christ. The program is designed to help them to combat deeply-held cultural beliefs that have a negative impact on their communities, including HIV and AIDS stigma and gender inequality.
As Francisco attended the program's training, he became more open to Carmen's participation. "Now there is no longer any chauvinism," he says. "It's the church that has changed us and shown us that men and woman are worth exactly the same in the eyes of the Lord."
Carmen has blossomed and grown more confident. "It's been a transformation that is incredible, and every day I thank God because this has totally changed every step I take," says Carmen. "World Vision has been like a right arm for us."
Today, as part of World Vision's focus on maternal and child health, Carmen is leading a support group for pregnant women and new mothers. She speaks confidently, providing community members with health information she learned through World Vision.
Carmen is often out working with women in the community. On these days, Francisco prepares dinner for his children, something he never would have dreamed of doing just a few years ago.
Their only son was born just as Francisco's life began to change. He attends many of the spiritual trainings with his father. "I think that he is learning all this, and that is what will make a better man out of him," Francisco says.
The whole Rodriguez family works together in the fields. Francisco looks at his fields of corn, radishes, and beans and says, "I'm really thrilled about this, because when you work together it really motivates you to continue to grow. All this is a result of the training that we have received."
The man who used to disappear and keep his family on edge now works and prays with his family. He even makes time to play with his children.
A single tear of joy slips from Carmen's eye as she acknowledges the amazing transformation that has taken place in her family.
"I'm just happy," Francisco says, "having a life that I have with my wife, with the daughters, and doing what we're doing. There are many people who are tired of life, but we aren't. We all have the drive to continue developing and to continue forth. And so, we're very happy and satisfied."
Child sponsorship is the cornerstone of World Vision's approach to community development. Join us! Reflect God's love to a child in need. Sponsoring a child helps provide life-saving basics to address the child's physical, social, and spiritual needs. Consider sponsoring a child today!

For those of you who have plunked down the extra cash for
the version of Windows Vista that is at the top of the totem pole, there are a
couple of new Vista Ultimate Extras available for download right now. Last
night, right before the official
launch of Vista, Microsoft pushed out Windows
Texas Hold'em Poker and BitLocker and EFS Enhancements.
to Paul Thurrott, Windows Texas
Hold'em Poker requires a minimum Windows Experience Index of 1.0 to run and
2.0 to operate at optimum levels. Given that mostly enthusiasts will be gunning
for Windows Vista Ultimate, this shouldn't be a problem at all.
The "Bitlocker
and EFS Enhancements" are listed as follows:
DreamScene (aka Motion Desktop), a Vista Ultimate Extra that allows you to
use motion video as your desktop, is still AWOL. Microsoft wowed the audience
at CES 2007 with a demonstration of DreamScene during the Bill Gates keynote,
but it's like a feature that will tire very quickly with users.
To get these latest updates, simply navigate to the Control
Panel and go to Windows Updates. You'll also find a number of security updates
waiting for you as well from the main Windows Update page.

Mac and Many Cheeses: The "Mil Fromages"
Every Sunday in our Cambridge shop, the kitchen staff get the day off and a cheesemonger helps to make our "Sunday Sandwiches" – small Iggy's rolls with a varying assortment of toppings. We always do a vegetarian option or two and then we regularly make some ham and Brie sarnies, sometimes dubbed the "Huron Classic" and at other times, "The Frenchman." If time allows, that cheesemonger will also whip up an additional dish for the sandwich window. One such Sunday, I had enough time to make a casserole dish of mac 'n' cheese. Availing of our "cheese bits" bin, I think I used 35+ cheeses in the end. So, it was only a slight exaggeration when the dish was dubbed "Mil Fromages." Here is the recipe:
Mil Fromages
The name of this dish is a hybridization of Spanish ("mil" means "1,000") and French ("fromage" means "cheese"), a small nod to the blend of nationalities represented by the cheeses in the dish.
12 ounces macaroni
1 ½ cups of panko breadcrumbs
8 ounces clarified butter
4 heaping tablespoons sifted flour
2 ½ cups warmed milk
1 ½ teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 large pinch nutmeg, freshly ground
Roughly 1 lb of mixed cheeses – I like to include cheddar, Comté, Gruyère and Goudas (among others)
vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil on high heat. Add a large pinch of salt to the water. Bring your water back to a boil. Add macaroni. Cook for about 5-8 minutes, or until pasta is a little firmer than al dente. *You do not want to overcook your pasta.* Rinse pasta in colander with cold water to stop the pasta from cooking further and to hinder the development of any more starches.
While your pasta is cooking…
In a small saucepan, on medium heat, stir your butter and sifted flour together into a paste. This is the beginning of a roux. Stir occasionally until sauce starts to simmer. Do not let the roux brown. When the mixture starts becoming frothy and begins simmering and bubbling, you may add your milk. Only add about a ½ cup at a time while whisking the mixture together. When all the milk is added, return to a medium simmer/light boil and remove from heat.
In the meantime…
Use a double boiler or fill another medium-sized saucepan with about 1 ½ inches of water. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat. *If you don't have a double boiler pan to fit exactly into the saucepan, try to find a wok, metal bowl or frying pan that will fit truly on the top.*
Now it is time to add the cheese into the mixture. In our original "Mil Fromages" recipe, we included: Comté, Gruyère, aged Cheddar, aged Goudas, French table cheeses like Pomerol and Cantal, and a few others. Make sure all the cheese is grated. Put the roux in the top pot. Add the mixture of cheeses about ¼-cup at a time, stirring throughout. When all the cheese has melted, add salt and pepper to taste and a large pinch of nutmeg, and finally the Worcestershire sauce. Remove from heat.
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese mixture and evenly coat the pasta. With your vegetable shortening, grease a casserole dish that is about 3-inches in height. Pour the macaroni into the dish. Distribute your panko breadcrumbs evenly across the top of the pasta. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 400°F on a high rack in the oven, or until panko crumbs are golden brown. Let the dish rest for about 15 minutes before eating.

Riotta named first Pirelli Visiting Professor
Riotta named first Pirelli Visiting Professor
Gianni Riotta, an eminent Italian journalist and writer, will serve as the first Pirelli Visiting Professor in Italian Studies in the Department of French and Italian during Spring 2014.
The five-year visiting professorship was established in partnership with Pirelli, a multinational Italian tire company, and will bring a number of prominent Italian personalities to campus to foster activities in new media and technology.
Riotta, who has twice served as a visiting lecturer on campus, will focus on the impact of new media and social networks in cultural, political and academic contexts.
"The Pirelli Visiting Professorship in Italian Studies will enhance our deep commitment to using a multidisciplinary approach to explore global culture," said Professor Gaetana Marrone-Puglia, professor of French and Italian and the faculty liaison between Princeton University and Pirelli. "Pirelli's gift will provide a tremendous opportunity for both students and the Department of French and Italian, and we look forward to sponsoring interdisciplinary events on campus."
Pirelli will also contribute a collection of cultural materials for study, including photos, manuscripts, documentaries, advertisements and films.

There has
been a lot of debate and speculation over the years in regards to cell phones
and the risks their radiation can have. But now, the World Health Organization (WHO) has
officially categorized mobile phone use as a possible carcinogenic hazard.
In the past, studies have suggested that electromagnetic radiation could cause
adverse effects on humans, such as brain tumors and problems with
male fertility. The largest international study on cell phones and
cancer, which was released in 2010, showed that volunteers who used cell phones
over a 10-year period or longer had doubled the rate of a type of tumor called
glioma. Another study conducted by the National Institutes of Health showed
that cell phone radiation boosts
brain activity by 7 percent, but it is still unknown what this
artificial boost does to the brain. Some effects may not be known for many
"When you look at cancer development -- particularly brain cancer -- it
takes a long time to develop," said Dr. Henry Lai, research professor in
bioengineering at University of Washington. "I think it is a good idea to
give the public some sort of warning that long-term exposure to radiation from
your cell
phone could possibly cause cancer."
While it is important to note that WHO has not established any adverse health
effects on humans, it has labeled cell phone radiation as "possibly carcinogenic
to humans."
WHO came to this conclusion after a team of 31 scientists from 14 countries
reviewed studies on cell phone safety, and as a result, placed cell phone
radiation in the same carcinogenic category as engine exhaust, lead and
chloroform. Cell phone radiation is non-ionizing, meaning its not like an
X-ray, but more similar to a low-powered microwave.
"What microwave radiation does in most simplistic terms is similar to what
happens to food in microwaves, essentially cooking the brain," said Dr.
Keith Black, chairman of neurology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los
Angeles. "So in addition to leading to a development of cancer and tumors,
there could be a whole host of other effects like cognitive memory
function, since the memory temporal lobes are where we hold our cell
While wireless carriers instruct users to keep cell phones a certain distance
from their heads, such as Apple's iPhone 4 safety manual that says to keep the
device at least 15 millimeters from the body, CTIA - The Wireless Association
noted that WHO's announcement does not mean that cell phones cause cancer. In
addition, the association denounced WHO's results since it "did not
conduct any new research, but rather reviewed published studies."
The European Environmental Agency and others around the world are pushing for
further research on the subject for a more in-depth understanding of radiation

I just want to start by saying, I think colangelo has done a piss poor job, of assembling a group of players that can play winning basketball and develop some chemistry together. We have talented players (not being a homer), but what the hell is the point if they can't play together as a group and build chemistry with each other. It goes back to his botched attempt at signing nash, and spending alot of assets in surrounding nash with a group of players that he can play with.
my interest as a fan of this club is seriously waning.
my solution.
we keep calderon a little longer because
a) he fits better with MOST of our young talent (ross,davis,valanciuas, FIELDS)
b) appease the fans with his stable (albeit unspectacular) play.
c) focus on turning all of our other assets into a star, andrew wiggins.
the next 2 years are going to be like this:
jose calderon (resigned)
terrence ross
landry fields
Ed davis
Jonas Valanciunas.
it is going to be fun watching these players (who's style of play fit well with the skills calderon has to offer)develop no doubt,considering players like ross and valanciunas getting better I think we could be a fringe playoff team with that group next year.
EVERYONE else, kyle lowry, demar derozan, andrea bargnani, need to in some form or another turned into 2014 lottery picks, so we can get andrew wiggins.I don't for a second think these players don't have value, I think they are some of the most talented players on the team. And that they are desirable by other teams.
Im not a fucking GM, I can't lay out exact trades to show you how we get wiggins, especially since there is so much variability on who is going to suck, and I don't nearly know enought about the other teams to comment. I'm just setting a general plan of action and am wondering if anyone agrees or not. thoughts?

Lens Recommendations | February 13, 2013
With the vagaries of photographing wildlife, the flexibility of a telephoto zoom would appear to be an attractive solution. However, image quality is often a compromise at the maximum aperture and longest focal length, typically the most crucial settings. We've pulled some lens data from our database and put together a round up of popular zoom lenses over the years (and made some comparisons with high performance primes). Read on to find out which models have the best image quality.
