Truth for Life - May. 18, 2011
May 18
All are Yours
All the attributes of Christ, as God and man, are at our disposal. All the fullness of the Godhead, whatever that marvelous term may encompass, is ours to make us complete. He cannot endow us with the attributes of Deity; but He has done all that can be done, for He has made even His divine power and Godhead subservient to our salvation. His omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, immutability and infallibility are all combined for our defense.
Stand up, believer, and witness the Lord Jesus hitching the whole of His divine Godhead to the chariot of salvation! How vast His grace, how firm His faithfulness, how unswerving His immutability, how infinite His power, how limitless His knowledge! The Lord Jesus made all these pillars of the temple of salvation; and all, without any lessening of their infinity, are covenanted to us as our perpetual inheritance. The fathomless love of the Savior's heart is ours in every drop; every sinew in the arm of strength, every jewel in the crown of majesty, the immensity of divine knowledge, and the sternness of divine justice--all are ours and shall be employed for us.
The whole of Christ, in His adorable character as the Son of God, is by Himself made ours to most richly enjoy. His wisdom is our direction, His knowledge our instruction, His power our protection, His justice our guarantee, His love our comfort, His mercy our solace, and His immutability our trust. He holds nothing back but opens the recesses of the Mount of God and bids us dig in its mines for the hidden treasures. "All, all, all are yours," He says, "sated with favor, and full of the blessing of the Lord." How wonderful to see Jesus in this way, and to call upon Him with the certain confidence that in seeking the intervention of His love or power, we are simply asking for what He has already faithfully promised.

FORT WORTH, Texas, July 9, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Jay Leno, host of "The Tonight Show" for 22 years, will be the featured performer at "An Evening with a Legend," sponsored by the UNT Health Science Center Foundation to benefit the University's research, education and health care mission.
Presented by Chase and J.P. Morgan, Leno will appear at 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, at Fort Worth's Bass Performance Hall. The Chairs for this year's event are Pati and Bill Meadows.
The benefit performance celebrates the time-honored partnership between UNT Health Science Center and the Fort Worth community.

He is a 15-time Emmy Award nominee, winning twice, including the 1995 Emmy for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series for "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
UNTHSC is an active educational, research and health care partner in Fort Worth, recently announcing a landmark partnership with JPS Health Network. It trains future doctors and other health care providers, engages in world-class biomedical research in many areas, and operates a world-renowned DNA crime lab that helps solve decades-old cold cases, identify missing persons and combat sex trafficking. UNTHSC also serves low-income children across the city through its Pediatric Mobile Clinic and operates a West Nile virus monitoring program with the city of Fort Worth.

Our Aims:
Our Activities:
The Forced Migration Innovation Project (FMIP), in partnership with the Humanitarian Innovation Project at Oxford University (HIP), seeks to identify ways in which innovation and the private sector enhance refugee livelihoods. Our research in the U.S. will develop a 'bottom-up' methodology for facilitating career-laddering opportunities that can be used in practice for resettled refugees.
The Situation:Since 1975, the U.S. has admitted over 2.5 million refugees for permanent resettlement. The primary goal of the U.S. is for these newcomers to achieve economic self-sufficiently in the most expedient manner. While policies and procedures that usher refugees into a non-skilled minimum wage job have stayed the same, important factors have changed that lessen the chances for self-sufficiency.
Our Hypothesis:
It is our position that rethinking refugees in resettlement reception as active agents in their own livelihoods, finding new ways to engage the U.S. private sector with refugee skills, ideas, and entrepreneurship that have been sidelined during refugee-hood, and creating enabling environments that facilitate those processes, might just hold a key toward less dependency.
Research Goals:
The primary research goals of FMIP's first phase are (1) to understand how refugees in the US use their own skills, talents, and entrepreneurship to create better livelihoods; (2) to understand the role of the host community's private sector as well as refugee networks in the process of upward mobility; (3) to identify the enabling environments (both on the side of refugees and U.S. employers) that support livelihood innovation and advancement; (4) and to understand to what extent the current resettlement system and host refugee discourse either supports or detracts from those enabling processes.
Practical Application:Unlike many academic projects, the second phase of the FMIP project will contribute directly to practice, working with practitioners, the private sector, and refugees to develop methodologies and programs based on research outcomes that contribute to alternative and sustainable livelihood practices that can be scaled to other contexts and other western countries of resettlement.

The win followed two recent losses that bumped the Falcons out of first place in the Central California Athletic Alliance-Mountain Valley League.
The Falcons (7-2-1 CCAA-MVL) are still behind Venture Academy (9-1 CCAA-MVL) and tied for second with Sierra Ridge-Rite of Passage.
Senior forward Zach Yanke said his team didn't play up to its potential in the recent losses, an 8-1 loss to Sierra Ridge-ROP on Saturday, Oct. 6, and a 2-1 loss to Elliot Christian on Oct. 3.
The Falcons also tied 1-1 with Big Valley Christian on Oct. 1.
On Monday, the Falcons communicated better on the field against the Timberwolves and put together successful plays for a 4-1 lead at the half. Millennium stayed in control of the ball most of the game and allowed Tioga few opportunities to get close to the goal.
Yanke scored two goals for the Falcons, Daniel Gutierrez scored two goals, and Danny Aguayo, Austin Little and Christian Gonzalez also scored.
Coach Alex Gonzalez said the Millennium team's biggest challenges will be against Venture Academy in Stockton on Monday, Oct. 15, and the last two regular-season games against Big Valley Christian and Elliot Christian on Oct. 22 and 24.
Oakdale 5, Kimball 2
The Jaguars (2-17-1, 0-8-1 Valley Oak League) traveled to Oakdale on Tuesday, Oct. 9, and came away with a league loss to the Mustangs. Ryan Chaney scored for Kimball on an assist from Alberto Flores, and Noah Aini also scored with an assist from Flores. Kimball goalkeeper Andres Martinez had 10 saves.
West 6, Stagg 0
The West High boys soccer team closed out the first half of Tri-City Athletic League play with a win at home over Stagg High on Oct. 4.
The Stagg team (2-2-1 TCAL) made some early attacks on the West goal, but the Wolf Pack (8-0-1, 4-0-1 TCAL) stayed in control of the ball for most of the game.
Senior forward Jose Murillo said communication on the field had given West its first-place standing and will make the team successful in the second half of the league season.
"We pull each other up and get that ball moving," Murillo said. "We have confidence in each other."
West took a 2-0 lead in the first half, starting with a goal from senior forward Miguel Madruga on an assist from Murillo in the 23rd minute. Madruga scored again in the 27th minute on a charge up the middle and an arcing shot over the Delta King defenders and goalkeeper.
West scored four goals more in the second half, including three for Murillo and one more for Madruga. Alex Valencia assisted on two of those goals.

Sample Report
It comes as no surprise that one of Montevideos best-known young artists, Martín Sastre (b. 1976), lives and practices in Spain. Still, Sastre maintains a connection with his country of birth through www.martinsastre.com, the home site for "The Foundation for the Super Poor Arts," which ostensibly provides a three-month stipend to work and live in Montevideo to three "first world" students from Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) -- What started as a routine traffic stop turned into a unique drug bust.
Wausau Police pulled over the vehicle Tuesday night for an equipment violation. What they found inside was a man, a woman, and six pounds of marijuana.

For a lot of us our weight is a struggle. For Dan Hawthorne it's been a lifelong challenge. It took him 40 years and more than 600 pounds to finally right the ship and begin to turn his health around. But he did it.Hawthorne says he'd spent his whole life making one bad choice after another. So when his alma mater, South Hagerstown High in Maryland, asked him to share his story with students, he wasn't sure what to expect. They might laugh, or they might just listen. Dan told students that he sat on the couch for two years and ate himself to death. "Food was my drug," he said. The problem started when he was a kid."The highlight of my paper route was stopping at Hall's Corner Store and getting my Krumpy donut and my chocolate milk," Hawthorne said. As he got older, Dan ballooned to 625 pounds."I was really at that point where I thought it was over. I really thought I was going to be pushing up daisies real soon," he said. Then he hit a turning point. He got an email from the friend of a friend, Thomas Burge, a professor and coach at Hagerstown Community College. "You know what his reply was? There's nothing you said we can't fix," Dan said.Together, they worked, sitting down at first. Hawthorne made it down to 400 pounds.Now he's 315 pounds, working out six days a week."Every day the first thing I do is look in that mirror. And I might have those days when it's cold outside and it's dark and you don't want to do it, but you have to do it because I like breathing. I like feeling good. I like looking better. That's all the motivation I need," Dan said.He says Burge saved his life."I think it feels good for me because of what it's doing for him," Burge said. At his lowest point, Hawthorne thought he had no purpose. Now, he's addicted to helping others. Dan and Thomas both talked to the students, telling them the choices they make today about what they eat and whether they are active will affect them for the rest of their lives.Dan is hoping he's proof it's never too late for us to rewrite our own stories.

You also have to remember that the majority of the Orcs in Ashenvale are most likely The Warsong Orcs. Which from my research have always been a rather violent group of Orcs to begin with. Which is why they never came across the Dark Portal till almost the very end of the Second War. then the DP went Explodey and they got trapped in Azeroth.

The Peaceful Mountain product line was born with the belief that many common problems could be helped with the powerful herbs and elements supplied by nature. It is peaceful mountain's goal to construct products that are natural, holistic, and formulated for specific circumstances. These health care solutions were specifically crafted to honor and support the body in its wisdom to heal, while providing appropriate delivery mechanisms and convenience to the users. As the tradition continues, rigorous scientific testing is the ultimate authority regarding the release of these solutions as peaceful mountain products. Only products that offer superior performance or fill a pressing need are brought to the market.
Availability: Usually Ships Within 24-48 Hours
Peaceful Mountain Ionic Colloidal Silver 20 Ppm - 6 oz. (180ml)
Peaceful Mountain Ionic Colloidal Silver is a Multi-Purpose bulk ionic silver supplement for immune support. Ionic Silver is an effective tool for supporting your immune system in the presence of emerging strains of bacterial, viral, and fungal infections.Colloidal silver appears to be a powerful, natural antibiotic and preventative against infections. Acting as a catalyst, it reportedly disables the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, viruses and fungi need for their oxygen metabolism. They suffocate without corresponding harm occurring to human enzymes or parts of the human body chemistry. The result is the destruction of disease-causing organisms in the body and in the food.The presence of colloidal silver near a virus, fungus, bacterium or any other single celled pathogen disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme, its chemical lung, so to say. Within a few minutes, the pathogen suffocates and dies, and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems. Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, which destroy beneficial enzymes, colloidal silver leaves these tissue-cell enzymes intact, as they are radically different from the enzymes of primitive single-celled life. Thus colloidal silver is absolutely safe for humans, reptiles, plants and all multi-celled living matter.
The Rescue Line:The Rescue Line is a selection of all natural products designed to meet your body functions and needs. There formulas are aimed at specific problems. There musculoskeletal gels are topical herbal solutions to a wide variety of structural problems; there ionic colloidal solutions for immune system support during times of crisis; or there topical creams and gels to soothe and support your skin; there goal is to assist your body, naturally.
They strive to engineer products that combine the best of modern science with the body-intuitive solutions that can be found in the natural world. At Peaceful Mountain, they use organic and wild crafted herbs, naturally derived preservatives and are constantly looking at ways to lessen our impact on the environment with there packaging, ingredient selection and production.
Made in Boulder Colorado means a lot more to them than the fact that this is where they make there product. Boulder is a special place. It is a place where it's normal for many of there staff to take alternative transportation; and a place where people are thinking outside the box and coloring outside the lines in vivid colors. It's because of this atmosphere that they began to stretch the boundaries of the thinking that defined traditional healing.They believe that western science and eastern medicine can work together to yield the best of both worlds. They believe in sustainable living, in fair pay, in providing a workplace that enables its team. Most of all, They believe in making a product that helps people to live healthier lives.

WASHINGTON, DC -- The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) pledged its support to the recovery and clean up efforts in New York City and Arlington, Va., in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center Twin Towers and the Pentagon.
In a letter to President Bush, AGC offered manpower and equipment through its members, and to work with the administration to provide construction expertise to make the nation's buildings and infrastructure safe and free from future terrorist attacks.
AGC 2001-2002 President, Bob Desjardins said, "The construction industry stands ready to assist in the rescue and recovery operations as well as the clean up efforts that will immediately follow," said AGC president Bob Desjardins. "In fact, AGC members are already onsite in some areas.''
AGC, the largest and oldest national construction trade association, has provided its chapters and members with the AGC disaster assistance guide entitled AGC Emergency Services Mobilization Program, Construction Industry Guidelines for Disaster Assistance. The manual is available under the "Hot Topics" area of the AGC website at www.agc.org.
Founded in 1918, the AGC represents more than 35,000 firms, including 8,000 of America's leading general contractors, and more 12,000 specialty-contracting firms. Over 14,000 service providers and suppliers are also associated with AGC, through a nationwide network of chapters.

Keeping Daddy's Memory Alive
In the wake of Heath Ledger's passing, a grief expert gives advice on how a Mom can help a child remember her father, and celebrate the life he lived.
Like the rest of the nation, we are still reeling from the news of Heath Ledger's death. Our thoughts keep going back to Matilda, who will grow up without a father. And we can't even begin to imagine the pain that Michelle Williams is going through. This is truly something no Mom should ever have to face, yet she's forced to.
Right now, Heath's face is on every magazine cover, every primetime news show, every celebrity Web site. But in the months and years ahead, when his untimely passing becomes a distant memory for the general public, he will still be Daddy to one little girl.
We talked to Ellen Sabin, the author of the children's book The Healing Book: Facing the Death—and Celebrating the Life—of Someone You Love, for her advice for all Moms looking for ways to help their little ones do just that.
Mom•Logic: How can Michelle keep Heath's memory alive?
Ellen: No one is trained to help their child through death, and many times the parent is also doing their own grieving. It's hard. But with a child as young as Matilda, who's not really old enough to have her own long-term memories, photos and videos really help. Show her pictures of Daddy, and tell her how much Daddy loved her. This will help keep the memories alive.
Mom•Logic: What should she say to Matilda?
Ellen: What you would say to a 2-year-old is very different from what you would say to a 10-year-old. You can't ask her things like, "What was Daddy's favorite food? His favorite color?" Because she won't know. It's better to share her own memories of Daddy with her daughter, like "I remember when Daddy did this," or "Daddy took you here one day, and you two had a great time." It's very healthy to keep her Dad alive for her in this way.
Mom•Logic: What sorts of things do you suggest in your book to celebrate a loved one's memory?
Ellen: Thinking and talking about someone who died helps them stay in your heart and memory forever. Write down things Daddy loved about his daughter, and how she is similar to him. Journal about any memories of a special day they had together, and the many things he taught his daughter. It's healthy to remember the "color" of someone you really loved, so writing and journaling these thoughts can be really healing.
Our thoughts and hearts go out to Michelle and Matilda during this difficult time.
What? "Like the rest of the nation we are still REELING…" Isn't that a bit of an overstatement? Sorry, yes, even shocked, but anyone who is "reeling" over the death of someone they did not know certainly cannot speak for "the nation." On the other hand, we're all so celebrity batty, perhaps you can.
On another note, his child will have no memories of her father, therefore there will be no actual "memories" to keep alive. I do not dispute the effort to give her some notion of the father she will not have) but the only thing that can be offered are someone else's memories, sanitized and edited or re-crafted and implanted.
i disagree, this little girl will ALWAYS have a father. nothing can change that. no, she may not have memories of her daddy but others such as her mom can instill in her what her father was. she will always carry around a part of her daddy. this little part she carreis around will infact be helpful to her mom. AS she gets older she will hear others talk about their daddy, If you don't begin to talk about her father, she will not know what to say or how to talk about the father she didn't get to know. she made a connection with him at birth. that is somethign no one can take away. i'm a mother of 4, my oldest just turned 4, our yougest our twin girls who just turned 1, they know who daddy is and can pick him out of a crowd…I'm sure this little girl could have done the same. her mom is going to have to come to the point of having answers for their daughter when she starts asking where is daddy? if she didn't have any kind of memories of her fatther, she wouldn't ask for him….

WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wisc (WSAU) A month ago the Wood County sheriffs department's police dog ran off into the woods, and was missing for a few days. Now the dog has a special collar with a tracking device inside to keep it from happening again.
The technology was donated by the Wilderness Sportsmans Club after the organized a fundraising drive. The dog is already wearing the new collar, although an official presentation ceremony was held yesterday.
Toro was found eating a deer carcass after running off during a traffic stop.
Police dogs are worth between $10,000 and $15,000 including special training for the animal and their handler.

Purell now, Bacteri-ell later?
The hygiene hypothesis, the idea that "too much cleanliness prevents the development of a well-balanced immune response"(Sironi and Clerici, 2010), has received a lot of support and also criticism. It has recently been challenged by the hypothesis of "early immune challenge", which states that a lack of appropriate immune stimulation during early childhood might account for the increased development of allergies in industrialized countries (Kramer et al, 2013). This proposal places less emphasis on excessive hygienic practices and focuses more on the insufficient exposure to specific environmental microbes, particularly those from non-urban environments, as the reason behind the rise of atopic disease. While different, both hypotheses point to the beneficial health affects of some microbes.
What do you think is the reason for increased allergy levels in industrialized countries? Do you think that a concoction of the "right" microbial species in the form of a lotion, drink, or inhalant (aka "Bacteri-ell") could be a future replacement for natural exposure to beneficial microbes?
Instead of using hand sanitizers like Purell, do you see a future where people from some regions of the world are unsanitizing their hands with "Bacteri-ell"?

May 1 2013: I think this topic is really interesting! I definitely think that it is important for children to be exposed to certain microbes early on in their lives so that they can begin building up their immune systems. I know that there are now so many parents who clean all of their children's toys right when they are done playing with them with sanitizing wipes, but I think that this plays a role in possibly causing children to have a weaker immune system. Like many other people have said, when I was little, I also spent a lot of time outside probably interacting with all different microbes. I was still hygienic and washed my hands, but my parents never excessively put hand sanitizer on me after every little thing I touched. I think that the mindset that people have about microbes being these negative entities is really hindering their potential beneficial uses.
Your idea about creating some sort of bacteri-ell is really interesting, but I'm wondering how, with all the microbes that are part of the human biome, one can figure out which ones are good and which are bad? Also, since everybody is different, isn't there a possibility that some microbes can be harmful to some people but helpful to others? In that case, can you create a bacteri-ell that could work for everyone? Finally, I know that it is often a lot worse to get sick with viruses like the chicken pox when you're an adult than when you're a kid. So could the use of some sort of bacteri-ell have this same effect and be worse for adults than children?
May 1 2013: That is an interesting thought about the different effects of bacteri-ell on children and adults. If it were to become a possible product then effects on different people and age groups would be something that would need to be looked into. There would definitely need to be a lot of research and effort put into finding the right combinations of microbes and creating a product that would not back fire.
May 1 2013: These are key points. Scientists are currently working towards answering this basic question about how to assess which microbes or microbial communities are "good" and which are "bad". And yes different individuals - who vary in their age, genes, traits, environments, may respond different to different microbes. There is some interesting research being done at the University of Oregon META Center for Systems Biology using zebrafish and stickleback as model systems to begin to make some progress in this area http://meta.uoregon.edu/.
May 1 2013: Cool I have heard a little about this. This is something that would be very fun to be a part of! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0BtcjgOay4&feature=plcp
This was a video I came across just trying to get more info on why zebrafish are such good model systems

The saffron contest was so much fun, I decided to do another contest, The Great Vanilla Bean Giveaway from Saffron.com. As I mentioned previously, this is a company that provides amazing quality vanilla and saffron at some of the best prices I have ever seen. I'm not getting paid to promote their product, I approched them with the idea of a contest for you, my dear friends!
How do you use vanilla beans?
Carefully halve the bean lengthwise – and lay flat on your cutting board. With the back of your knife, scrape the thousands of vanillin seeds and pulp out. Each bean should yield about 1/2 tsp of vanillin seeds, which corresponds to 2-3 tsp of vanilla extract.
To make vanilla extract, take 1 whole vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise. Place in 3/4 cup of good vodka. Cover and store for 6 months.
How to buy vanilla beans?
According to Saffron.com, look for soft, plump vanilla beans with thin skin. Gently squeeze the vanilla bean with your fingers to feel how thick or thin the skin is. The bean should be black, full of aroma, and a little oily to the touch.
What do you do with the leftover pod?
What's your favorite way to use the leftover pods?
Vanilla bean "caviar":
I'm going to randomly draw 8 lucky winners. Each winner will get 1/2 lb of vanilla beans. Take a look back at the first photo – that is what 1/2 lb looks like! Let's do the math. The last contest had 137 entries. That's a pretty good chance of winning!
What is your favorite dish using vanilla? The recipe can call for vanilla beans or vanilla extract. It can be from your site or someone else's site. It can be a recipe you've tried or it can be one that just looks delicious. See, I'm making it really really simple.
That is all. But you have to do both steps to be eligible.
Contest ends Wednesday, November 7th at noon EST. I'll then randomly pick 8 winners. The company, Saffron.com will ship directly to you. Good deal?
**BONUS: If you post about this contest on your blog, I'll give you an extra 2 entries! DUDE, how cool is that???
STEP 1: Forget Mr. Linky's directions, follow mine (hey give me a break. It's a free plugin. I can't customize it) Enter name any recipe that uses vanilla extract or vanilla beans. I don't care who you are in this section. Just type name of dish (i.e. "Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes") and the link to it. You can list more than one recipe. We'll compile a great list of favorite recipes that uses vanilla!
STEP 2: In the COMMENTS section, enter your name and say something, anything. You can give us vanilla tips, fav way to use the leftover pods, or just talk about the damn weather. I will draw from these names.
Wednesday 1:30pm. Contest is closed! I'll be drawing names later this afternoon tonight tomorrow, after 1 2 3 too many nice, tall glasses of homemade Sangria! Accepting bribes of all sorts until 3pm-ish whenevrwrewrwerrrrrrrr.
I included you in my blog!

Hi Jayden,
Along with all the others please enter me into the vanilla bean contest. The attached recipe is THE VERY BEST scone recipe – I suppose because of using THE VERY BEST ingredients you can find to begin with, including vanilla beans. Kudos to Marcy Goldman of Betterbaking.com for this wonderful scone recipe she has shared.
Thanks & keep up the good work! We all love it at the office.

Here is another vanilla recipe from me. It's my mum's gorgeous fruit cake! yum! brings a lot of happy memories…
Also, my mum _always_ uses vanilla in her baking!
I love adding vanilla to rice, especially if I'm doing a spicy dish on the side – adds a nice cool/warm (that makes no sense) feel
I really love custard and of course I had to go with the recipe that had a french name. "�ufs au Lait", come on. How can you not love it?
Avocado ice cream is one of those things that makes people either go EUGH or OOOH. Fortunately, I'm in the latter category.
Another flavor of ice cream I'm about to create when I get the chance- Badam Kheer.
Mmmm, vanilla beans…
Oh, and I blogged it, too.
DOH! i screwed up! I left my name in the space for Vanilla Icecream, squak,.. @#$%%
Can you fix please?
Thanks my entry
panettone french bread
I love using vanilla extract when I bake. I recently tried vanilla beans for the first time and it was lovely in the custard cream filling that I made for some cream puffs. Crossing my fingers that I'll be one of the winners. Thank you for running this contest!
I would love to be entered in the contest. I wrote about the Vanilla Bean Giveaway in my post…
Even if I don't win (but I really want to), I have to buy my vanilla beans through saffron.com because I spent $6 on two sorry beans. The nerve!
BTW, I am looking forward to more pics from your recent trip!
Hey! This is the first time I've posted a comment, but I love your site! I put up a link for vanilla scented scallops from Cooking Debauchery, they're sooo good! It was the first "gourmet" dish I made, and the one that made me want to go to culinary school.
As for my favorite thing to use vanilla beans in, it's a tie between homemade vanilla extract (vanilla pods in rum), creme brulee, and lavender infused pastry cream (add lavender simple syrup to pastry cream after it sets; goes really really well with lemon or vanilla bean cake!)
I absolutely love this recipe and think it would be that much better if I used vanilla bean instead of extract!
Oh, I love recipe time around here! I submitted the tangerine granita with vanilla bean cream and posted about it on my site.
Thank you for having this contest! I hope the vanilla bean gods are smiling upon me.
I hope I get luckier with this giveaway than I was with the saffron!
Vanilla Poached Apricots with Honey Madeleines. Mmm… I love a good Madeleine. And you can't get much better than apricots steeped in vanilla and honey.
I haven't worked much with vanilla beans, just extract. I'd be really excited to have some good beans to play with.
I linked the blueberry cake, it's super easy to make and really good. That looks like a good place for beans, they are usually so expensive that I've only used extract before.
Bean me.
Holy crap- these are some great recipes! I linked to a simple standard (tapioca), can't wait to make some of these others though. Thanks!
I hope you will still enter me in the contest despite the fact that I totally screwed up my first attempt at linking my recipe and put my own name on the list (# 136). I just found your blog and I was so in need of something really good to read to get through a Monday afternoon. I am already looking forward to more stories/pictures from China!
I always bump up the vanilla in my Dandilion Honey because I love the little bean specks on my muffins!
Count me in for the beans, I'd love to not have to be conservative in my recipes anymore!
Vanilla salt is much better than vanilla sugar in my opinion. The recipe isn't hard but a lot of people wouldn't think to mix the two.
Please enter me in the contest.
Vanilla is highly versatile and used so much in our food that we always take it for granted.
French toast on Sunday mornings is a ritual at our house. Typically we do equal parts eggs to whole milk, a little salt, a teaspoon of cinnamon and a tablespoon of vanilla extract, and the littlest one needs to lick the vanilla spoon afterwards. I found this Cr�me br�l�e French toast recipe that looks a little obscene. The recipe is about halfway down the page. It calls for a whole vanilla bean. I wonder where I can get some of those…
I'm usually a lurker but I got tempted by the vanilla beans. =) To tell the truth, I normally DO NOT like using vanilla in baking… unless it's for chocolate related stuff. Outside of chocolatey stuff, I find it makes things taste somewhat heavy and cloying. But inside chocolatey stuff, mmmm! Chocolate enhancer! Would be a good chance to see what real, good vanilla can do to something. Hopefully. =)
I usually modify the following chocolate cake recipe by reducing the sugar to 1.5 cups instead of 2, and increasing the pinch of salt to 1/4 teaspoon. The quality of the coffee can make a huge difference. (Vanilla macadamia nut coffee, anyone?) I haven't looked for another chocolate cake recipe since.
First – this does not make enough for 4! It is enough for one so don't invite anyone to share. I actually also use the vanilla scraped out in the blender with the other stuff. And, sometimes, the irish whiskey spills and is 2 cups. We like it over ice in the evening, in my coffee before work, at lunch with something, and don't forget afternoon snack. This will go nicely as a follow-up to your bloody mary. I also use a dash of coconut extract. Yum – guess I shall stop at the liquor store on the way home and get some more irish whiskey and make something good before bed!
Have a great day!
Hi Jaden,
First time to leave a reply but been quietly enjoying your blog for awhile now. Screwed up with leaving a vanilla recipe, but thankfully my screw-up disappeared! Thanks for holding this contest and your grreat blog.
Hi! I think I only got one bonus entry! Can this be my #2?
I started making my own marachino cherris for my boyfriend who loves to drink manhattans and found that they are so easy (and much better!) to make. I take the original recipe as listed above and add 1 vanilla bean, split and scrapped to each jar. You can also use two dried old pods if thats all you can find (i recently ran out of fresh).The cherries become so lightly sweetened by the vanilla that I've also started to eat them on top of vanilla ice cream! Next step, chocolate cover…
Anything with banana is good, but add vanilla bean and plop it in a pie, and you got a winner!
The vanilla green beans are my favorite! My kids call them "nella beanies"
Don't forget about us Vegans!
I looooove this sweet potato recipe, I serve it for thanksgiving and it's a surprise from just whipped sweet potatoes with marshmallow.
I've never cooked with vanilla beans before, but some of those recipes look mouth-watering.
I love vanilla in things. These recipes look Great!

Thanks for asking!
I think we would say that God did "build in" certain things: the laws of physics, the complexity and intelligibility of the universe, our ability to reason, etc.
By "His Law" I'm assuming you mean moral law. The Church does have the concept of Natural Law, which basically argues that through our reason, human societies will always tend to value the good and hold moral precepts against bad behavior.
Murder is bad, stealing is bad, share with others, hospitality, etc. These are things that don't really need God in order for us to naturally conclude they are right or wrong (similar to Kantianism).
However, this only goes so far, as much of Christianity goes deeper. It states that love is dying to yourself for the sake of the other, turning the other cheek, loving your enemies, praying for those who persecute you, etc. These inclinations are generally not always found in nature (save maybe dying for others), and rely upon divine revelation for us to have learned them (or an incredibly insightful man I suppose).
Now, if we could conclusively prove that God exists through his signatures in the physical world, it would remove our free will, as we would not be free to reject God. If we are not free to reject God, it makes God a rapist who forces us into relationship with Him.
But because God is love, and an integral component of love is the freedom to choose that love; God can never completely reveal Himself to us without compromising our freedom, and thus our ability to love. So we are left to follow the breadcrumbs so to say. In this world, we will not encounter anything which will force us to believe that God must exist, as God desires the greater good of us freely choosing to love Him, rather than loving Him because "we may as well if He exists."
As to your last point regarding Mary, and why God did not create (or recreate) everyone perfectly and give the world only those who would use their freedom for good… I have this answer:
Suffering in this world, caused by the freely chosen immoral acts of others, is a sort of crucible for the soul.
Encountering this suffering forces us to react to it. Will we respond by giving of ourselves, or respond by giving into evil?
I often think of Mother Teresa encountering the radical poverty of the slums. Had she not encountered this evil, would she have risen to the spiritual heights that she did? I don't think so.
Further, if suffering did not exist, what is to say that Mother Teresa would even have left Albania? Maybe God would not even have given us the soul of Mother Teresa, because her soul, not being able to give of itself to others, would not find fulfillment, and her soul would fall into despair? In this despair she may have committed a sin, and thus God would not have created her free soul that would not sin in this hypothetical world.
Follow? Good.
Now let us imagine the soul of Hitler. He never encounters the horrors of WWI or Depression Era Germany, he doesn't become radicalized, and he lives his life as an Augustus Gloop merrily drinking beer and eating sausages in Germany his whole life time.
In our hypothetical world, God would give us this soul of Hitler. Wouldn't that be a sad thing? That the world receives the soul of Hitler because he wouldn't use it for evil (because he never faced evil), and never would be graced by the soul of Mother Teresa (because she never faced evil)?
So I would reply that a world populated by free souls that would never sin is not as great as we imagine it would be. Rather it would be bland and full of people who are neither greatly good nor greatly evil. This lukewarmness is unattractive in the life of love.
God wants our full and whole selves, molded through the crucible of this suffering world. Anything less would be God creating a world of souls akin to paint by color rather than Rembrandt.
Pax Christi!

During her two years in Ghana, Suzanne Buchele worked with the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project to bring computers to children in that country.
Suzanne Buchele, associate professor of computer science, returned to Southwestern last fall after two years of teaching students in the West African country of Ghana.
Buchele received a Fulbright Award to teach at Ashesi University College, a private liberal arts college in Ghanas capital city of Accra. The university was founded in 2002 by Patrick Awuah, a native of Ghana who earned an engineering degree from Swarthmore College and later became financially independent after working for Microsoft. Patrick wanted to do something to help his country, Buchele explains. Most good students in Ghana go abroad for college, which creates a real brain drain for that country.
Ashesi is the only liberal arts college in West Africa. The university had just been approved for Fulbright Awards at the time Buchele applied, and she became the first Fulbright Scholar to go there.
Although Buchele was originally supposed to spend just a year in Ghana, her Fulbright grant was renewed so she ended up spending two years there. During her second year at Ashesi, she was asked to serve as the universitys acting dean of academic affairs.
It was an amazing process to be part of a new school, Buchele says. We made several new policy decisions each week. Buchele helped Ashesi put new procedures in place for student advising and registration. She also helped Ashesi adopt an examination honor system for selected classes, the first such honor code in West Africa.
During her second year in Ghana, Buchele also helped with a pilot project to distribute computers to children in Ghana through the Massachusetts-based foundation, One Laptop Per Child (OLPC). The organization distributed computers to 40 students in a fourth-grade school in Accra.
As a result of her involvement with the OLPC project, Buchele had the opportunity to meet the president of Ghana, as well as the ministers of education, finance and communications. She also learned quite a bit about the educational system in Ghana. In addition to infrastructure problems, she says there is a shortage of qualified teachers, school buildings and textbooks.
Students face many other obstacles as well. While children in Ghana are technically entitled to a free basic education up to junior high school, many of them have to help their families in the fields or carry water to their houses. The monthly household income in some villages in Ghana is only about $10 a month, which makes it difficult for families to purchase the supplies and uniforms children need for school.
The laptop program is good because it gives children access to education even if they cant get to school, Buchele says. (For more information on OLPC, visit http://laptop.org/.) Buchele gave several presentations on her experience in Ghana to the campus community last fall, and also shared her experience with OLPC in Ghana at the 8th Annual Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing conference, which was held in Colorado in October.
Buchele says the Fulbright experience has made her a much better teacher. In addition to learning how to encourage more classroom participation and interaction, she says she learned a lot about global issues she can address in her classes.
It was an amazing experience. I wouldnt trade it for anything, she says.

The summer Olympics in Beijing provided an opportunity for a Southwestern kinesiology professor to expand his research.
Scott McLean, associate professor of kinesiology, spent a week working with the U.S. Olympic swim team at their training camp at Stanford University just before they left for Beijing. Along with colleagues from the United States Olympic Training Center and Arizona State University, McLean helped the Olympic swimmers improve their starting performance.
Using video and a starting block instrumented with sensors to measure the forces produced by the hands and feet, McLean and his colleagues were able to provide the swimmers with critical information about their start performance. We were able to give them instantaneous feedback on what technique modifications produced the best starts, he says.
McLean says a number of the swimmers were able to achieve faster speeds with improved trajectories, which corresponded to increased start distances of 1015 centimeters. In races that are often decided by hundredths of a second, getting 1015 centimeters farther out on the start is huge, he says.
Swimmers McLean had a chance to work with included Dara Torres, the 41-year-old mother who won two medals at the games, as well as several current and former University of Texas swimmers who competed in the games.
Dara was one of our big success stories, McLean says. At the Olympic Trials, it appeared that her start needed some work. She was lifting her head too high and not doing enough with her lower body. By adjusting her head position and her arm position, we were able to improve her speed off the block without negatively affecting her trajectory. She swam nearly two-tenths of a second faster at the Olympic Games. We like to think that we had a hand in that.
In all, McLean and his colleagues worked with about two-thirds of the U.S. Olympic swim team. The swimmers thanked McLean by signing a large Olympic banner for him, which he has framed and hung in his office.
This experience was the highlight of my professional career, McLean says. It brought together everything I have worked on for the past 15 years.
McLean plans to spend his sabbatical this spring working on a newer design of the instrumented starting block that is more economical and more portable. Eventually I would like to be prepared to go to a pool and set it up when a coach calls, he says.
Kas Kramer, a senior kinesiology major at Southwestern, is helping McLean with his research as part of her capstone project.
In the meantime, McLean is bringing this new technology to the Southwestern swim program, where he is working with each swimmer to develop his/her best start.
The swim team here at Southwestern benefits greatly from Dr. McLeans research, says interim co-coach Nicole Kaupp. It is great to have someone with his expertise working with our swimmers on a daily basis.

Kidsgiving Food Drive
Hunger is a gnawing, empty feeling that makes the whole world seem cold. It's even worse when you're a child and can't understand why everyone else seems to have more than enough to eat…except you. For many years, the radio stations of Entercom Portland have committed themselves to helping kids in our own backyard during the holiday season, and this year, we celebrate 14 years of giving back through an annual charity campaign called Kidsgiving.
Make a generous donation of non-perishable food items in the specially-marked barrels at all Aaron's stores in the Portland metro area (locations listed below) now through November 21st. All the food collected will go to the Salvation Army—an organization that's always doing the most good, and to the Community Transitional School—dedicated entirely to the needs of kids whose families are homeless. In addition to the great feeling you'll get from helping feed hungry kids, Aaron's is offering a credit incentive. 5 items gets you $25 in credit at Aaron's, 10 items gets you $50 in credit, and 20 + items gets you $75 credit!
Aarons Locations:

I've already highlighted that my family and I tend to celebrate the holiday meals a little differently. This past Christmas Eve, my wife and I were in Tennessee where we gorged on a huge Korean feast full of steamed rice, bossam (seasoned steamed pork trotter), dwaeji gogi (spicy pork stir fry) and oyster-flavored kimchi.
The next night we were back in Atlanta and were on our own so we treated ourselves to a last minute outing to Nakato. The dining room was impressively filled, mostly of the Japanese variety such as Hashiguchi-san of the Hashiguchi restaurants in Marietta and Buckhead.
You can take a look at what we ate from our slideshow above. I would say the highlights were the shirako tempura (cod milt – google it, I'm not going there), a wonderful medley of nigiri sushi and sashimi including sayori (halfbeak), abalone, and nasu dengaku (grilled eggplant with miso).
Nakato, 5:30 p.m.-10 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays, 5:30 p.m.-11 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays, 5 p.m.-10 p.m. Sundays. 1776 Cheshire Bridge Road NE, Atlanta, 404-873-6582, $$$.

I'm Not Herby Janet Gurtler
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
For the first time in my life, I didn't feel envy...
Tess is the exact opposite of her beautiful, athletic sister. And that's okay. Kristina is the sporty one, Tess is the smart one, and they each have their place. Until Kristina is diagnosed with cancer. Suddenly Tess is the center of the popular crowd, everyone eager for updates. There are senior boys flirting with her. But, the smiles of her picture perfect family are cracking and her sister could be dying. Now Tess has to fill a new role: the strong one. Because if she doesn't hold it together, who will?
Janet Gurtler tests the bonds of sisterhood in this moving debut that readers of Jodi Picoult and Sarah Dessen will savor.
Brainy Tess Smith is the younger sibling of the beautiful, popular, volleyball-scholarship-bound Kristina. When Kristina is diagnosed with bone cancer, it drastically changes both sisters' lives. Sometimes the things that annoy us the most about our siblings are the ones we'd miss the most if we lost them.
In this YA literary coming-of-age novel that will appeal to readers who love Jodi Picoult and Sarah Dessen, sisters Tess and Kristina discover not only who they are, but who they can become.

Strong Bones for Life.
What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a public health problem threatening the health and quality of life of more than 1.27 million North Carolinians age 50 and older. Osteoporosis is a preventable and treatable disease characterized by thinning bones, leading to bone fragility and increased risk of fractures of the spine, hip, and wrist. It is most prevalent among Asian and Caucasian women over age 50 who are underweight, lack regular exercise and are thin boned. One out of every two women and one in four men over age 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime.
It is estimated that at least $455 million were spent in the year 2000 in medical costs for people with at least 34,355 osteoporotic fractures, and this cost is expected to increase to $797 million for 60,547 fractures by Year 2025.
The North Carolina Osteoporosis Foundation, Inc. (NCOF) is a statewide not-for-profit organization incorporated in 2006 that works to reduce the impact of osteoporosis by advocating for preventive policies and programs, encouraging knowledge sharing, and developing partnerships for health promotion.

History of feminism > Influence of the Enlightenment
The feminist voices of the Renaissance never coalesced into a coherent philosophy or movement. This happened only with the Enlightenment, when women began to demand that the new reformist rhetoric about liberty, equality, and natural rights be applied to both sexes.
Initially, Enlightenment philosophers focused on the inequities of social class and caste to the exclusion of gender. Swiss-born French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, for example, portrayed women as silly and frivolous creatures, born to be subordinate to men. In addition, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, which defined French citizenship after the revolution of 1789, pointedly failed to address the legal status of women.
Female intellectuals of the Enlightenment were quick to point out this lack of inclusivity and the limited scope of reformist rhetoric. Olympe de Gouges, a noted playwright, published Déclaration des droits de la femme et de la citoyenne (1791; Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the [Female] Citizen), declaring women to be not only man's equal but his partner. The following year Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), the seminal English-language feminist work, was published in England. Challenging the notion that women exist only to please men, she proposed that women and men be given equal opportunities in education, work, and politics. Women, she wrote, are as naturally rational as men. If they are silly, it is only because society trains them to be irrelevant.
The Age of Enlightenment turned into an era of political ferment marked by revolutions in France, Germany, and Italy and the rise of abolitionism. In the United States, feminist activism took root when female abolitionists sought to apply the concepts of freedom and equality to their own social and political situations. Their work brought them in contact with female abolitionists in England who were reaching the same conclusions. By the mid-19th century, issues surrounding feminism had added to the tumult of social change, with ideas being exchanged across Europe and North America.
In the first feminist article she dared sign with her own name, Louise Otto, a German, built on the work of Charles Fourier, a French social theorist, quoting his dictum that by the position which women hold in a land, you can see whether the air of a state is thick with dirty fog or free and clear. And after Parisian feminists began publishing a daily newspaper entitled La Voix des femmes (The Voice of Women) in 1848, Luise Dittmar, a German writer, followed suit one year later with her journal, Soziale Reform.

What This Tech Company's Results Mean for its Sector
Lee is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Investors in the IT security sector had a right to approach the upcoming results of company Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW) with a certain amount of trepidation. Competitors have been downgrading expectations and enterprise spending in technology has been weaker as the year has gone by. However, Palo Alto delivered a solid set of results and guidance, and despite the market response (which initially looks to be negative) this should not reflect on the operational performance of the company. Whether the stock is good value or not is another question.
Palo Alto Delivers Good Results
Palo Alto's place within the security market is as a fast growing company that is accelerating sales growth primarily via displacing incumbent security providers. As such, we should expect it to have lower margins and cash flow conversion than the established players but much faster growth. The company makes a play over its quality differentiation allowing it to carry a pricing premium. This may well be true, but as it matures it may well find it harder to sell on this basis. Not all customers will be focused on quality, and its primary firewall competitors, like Check Point Software (NASDAQ: CHKP), Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR) and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO), are highly cash generative and capable of upgrading their offerings in the future.
No matter, Palo Alto is firing on all cylinders at the moment and none can match its growth prospects. A brief summary of its results.
- Q1 Revenues of $85.9 million vs. estimates of $83.8 million
- Q1 EPS of 4c vs. estimates of 3c
- Q2 Revenue Guidance of $90-94 million vs. estimates of $90.8 million
- Q2 EPS Guidance of 4c vs. estimates of 4c
So it's a 'beat' and the guidance looks pretty good relative to market estimates. This is a key point because its rivals have been downgrading expectations and new entrants like F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV) have been aggressive about their prospects in data center security.
Moreover the commentary around the results was positive with management claiming that 50% of its new sales were for primary firewalls (this tends to increase the lifetime value of a client as it implies higher recurring revenues and retention ratios). In addition, they scored a host of major wins against Check Point (with a major telco), Juniper and Cisco (a leading European broadcaster) and a number of US data center security solutions from Cisco.
It wasn't quite a Larry Ellison style alpha male conference call, but not far from it. Although he would, no doubt, be impressed by the hiring of F5 Networks' former global head of sales. He will no doubt bring a plethora of enterprise and data center contacts with him, and investors should take Palo Alto seriously when its management outlines that F5's data center security solutions are not really competing with the larger part of Palo Alto's business.
But what of the rest?
What is the Industry Saying?
Essentially Check Point had lowered guidance and analysts saw some weakness on account of its slowing product sales growth. In reality, this is partially due to its progress in bundling software sales within overall sales. Check Point's overall revenue growth is in the high single digits but no matter, the market hates slowing product growth because it implies slowing future software sales.
Alongside this, Cisco had earlier seen its security revenues growing at a slower pace. In other words, the market was set up for a possible disappointment with Palo Alto. It didn't come.
Palo Alto is a much younger company and there are no such growth problems here, although it did disclose some more aggressive pricing competition in the quarter. Management also claimed to have high win rates across all its major competitors (Juniper, Cisco and Check Point) without being drawn on any specific strength against any particular incumbent.
Furthermore, deferred revenues are growing faster than top line revenues (86% vs. 50% year on year), and free cash flow is now at over 20% of revenues.
Where Next for Palo Alto?
In conclusion, this is a pretty good set of results from Palo Alto. The market's immediate reaction is probably more about investors who were lined up to try to take advantage of a market pop and then sell out. It's the sort of thing that happens with highly rated stocks.
From my perspective as a growth at reasonable price (GARP) investor, I am not interested in Palo Alto; but I am interested in the IT security center and this reads like pretty good news to me. Palo Alto is affirming that conditions remain good, and I think the sector is well worth looking at now.
