I was going through some port scan results from a recent penetration
test to try and identify why Kris' Ruby Nmap Parser was taking longer
than usual to process a file and spotted that the output was mostly
closed ports (in one example there were 30 open ports and no filtered
ports). I was expecting to see the 65505 closed ports, for example, show
up as an extraports entry in the XML file, but instead I had a line per
port (an extra 65k lines per host made the Nmap and XML output files
considerably larger than expected!).
A similar scan a matter of hours later against hosts on another subnet
using the same 5.51 SVN version of Nmap returned:
Not shown: 65502 closed ports
Reason: 65502 resets
The command I used was:
nmap -vv --script "* and not *brute* and not broadcast and not *flood*
and not *fuzz* and not *snoop* and not *http-enum*" -n -Pn --reason -p-
-A -oA xxx_xxx_tcp_full_exclude_xxx -iL xxx.txt --defeat-rst-ratelimit
--min-hostgroup 64 --exclude xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Does anyone have any idea why one set of files is normal (and small) and
the other is (huge and) full of individual closed ports? The only
obvious difference I can see is that I used --exclude on this bad scan;
but that doesn't seem to have made any difference when I ran a quick
test in the test lab (although the SVN version on a host in the lab is
probably slightly older). I'll try and do some more testing to try and
replicate the issue, but I was hoping someone else might have seen this
"lack of extraports" bug before?
Could have been a difference in debugging level? I think that extraports
is replaced by individual script records with -d2.

Here's my latest illustration for ZAFTIG. The theme was "Nourishment". So I based my piece on "Prana", a Sanskrit term referring to a cosmic energy believed to come from the sun and connecting the elements of the universe.
Basically, it is believed that some yogis can lively solely on sunlight, no food or water. Pretty interesting stuff!

So, this is what happens when I neglect to ignore that little voice inside my head telling me not to go on OKCupid and make a fake profile heavily referencing an episode of the IT crowd to see how many people think it's real. Let's call it a social experiment so when the staff catch on and get mad at me I can claim it was scientific.
Surprisingly while making this, nothing ever told me not to make a profile like this. In fact, the only rule I think I'm breaking is that it isn't me in the profile picture.
Also MindTheLSpace helped a bit so I'm dragging her down with me if I get in trouble for this.

Chocolate Cherry Hemp Bars & YumUniverse Cookbook Giveaway
I am no stranger to Heather Crosby's fabulous recipes (seen here previously: Peruvian Bean Bowl with Fried Plantains, Blueberry Tarragon Dressing and more recently the Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream), I was excited to be able to review her first solo cookbook creation, YumUniverse as part of the #YUBlogTour and #YUHealthyHalloween Blog Tour.
However, it is more than a cookbook. It is a fabulously complete introduction (and then some) to eating plant-based whole foods. Her book is built in three parts: why, how and do (let's eat). First, why eat plant-based? Heather details numerous reasons to eat your vegetables. Her second part, teaches the reader the ins-and-outs of how to cook plant-based. She addresses protein and calcium needs and how to craft a week's worth of eats. There are tables of how to properly store fresh and pantry ingredients (fruits/vegetables, oils, nuts, spices, flours, etc; whether they go in the fridge/freezer). She explains soaking and sprouting with times for common nuts and seeds. She explains different cooking methods and even how to correct oversalting. Once you have mastered feeding yourself, she has tips for social situations. She really has left no gaps. She even explains how to get rid of pesky fruit flies.
Next, the recipes. With adventurist recipes including Mung Bean and Eggplant Curry, Jerk Lentil and Avocado Wrap, Beet, Apple and Onion Gratin and Skillet Crusted Sweet Potato Gnocchi, there are boundless possibilities. That was just in the lunch/dinner section. Heather also includes breakfasts, dressings, dips/spreads, breads, beverages, snacks and other desserts and treats.
In short, this is the cookbook I wish I had when I first began my journey becoming a vegan.
I made her Chocolate & Cherry Hemp Bars which are a spiffied rice krispy treat. Like Ange's Glo Bars, brown rice syrup is the binder of choice but the bars are not that sweet. Calling them hemp bars is a bit of a superfood marketing ploy: they are barely detectable amidst the sunflower seeds, rolled oats and flaked coconut. Furthermore the chocolate chips melted seamlessly into the sweet binder, so the major flavour was from the tart cherries with a faint chocolate background. Below is the photo you would actually find in the cookbook. Enjoy!
YumUniverse recipes spotted elsewhere:
Buckwheat Noodle Pad Thai
Dark Chocolate, Sweet Potato & Black Bean Brownies
Orange and Pepita Granola
Thankfully, the publisher allowed me to share the recipe AND giveaway the cookbook to a reader living in the United States or Canada. To be entered in the random draw for the cookbook, please leave a comment below telling me your favourite meal (no recipe required). The winner will be selected at random on November 7, 2014. Good luck!
Abby's Vegan Pumpkin Pie with a Pecan-Oat Crust
While it still feels like summer in Toronto, it is hard to believe Thanksgiving is quickly approaching. And as I was writing up my recipe for raw macadamia vanilla cream, I realized I never shared this fabulous recipe with you.
It still makes me smile that one of my co-workers, Abby, made a vegan and gluten-free pumpkin pie with me in mind for last year's Thanksgiving. Abby graciously let me take home all the leftovers which I enjoyed. Sadly, I was hoping to get better photos. I don't think these do it any justice but figured I should still share the great recipe with you.
Pumpkin pies are ubiquitous in the US around Thanksgiving but this pie was better than your traditional fare. A mixture of both pumpkin and sweet potato purees with a custard texture from tofu worked really well here. It was perfectly sweetened with a hint of savoury notes from the cinnamon and nutmeg. The recipe will make more filling than you need for one pie, which might work out nicely if you have a vegan friend who really wants all the leftovers. ;)
The crust was awesome, too, just a bit on the brown side, but with a spiced pecan background that worked well with the pumpkin pie. As I pay more attention to the recipe, it looks like Abby took some inspiration for the crust from my pecan-shortbread crust I used with a lemon-cheesecake. You may not even need to pre-bake the crust like Abby did, so keep that in mind.
Are you ready for fall yet?
I am sharing this with Simple and In Season and the Virtual Vegan Link-Up. (more…)
Whipped Macadamia Cream with Berries
Part of the allure for travelling to Madagascar and South Africa, other than the interesting animals (LEMURS! elephants! giraffes! rhinoceroses!) was the plant-life as well. I don't like to scope out flowers (much) but I was excited to visit a tea plantation. Sadly, we were not in the right areas to visit vanilla plantations (Madagascar is the world's top producer of vanilla) or cocoa plantations but we serendipitously stumbled upon fields and fields of macadamia trees in South Africa. Turns out South Africa is the second largest producer of macadamia nuts, after Australia where it is indigenous.
So in addition to the chocolate, vanilla pods and tea, Rob allowed me to bring home some macadamia nuts too. A nice change from cashews, they bring a brilliant white to its sauces and possibly more creamy with all its fat. This is great news for those without a high-speed blender: silky sauces are just macadamias away.
While the blogosphere feasts on the beginning of the fall produce (apples, pumpkin and my favourite: brussels sprouts), enjoy this berry-filled salad spruced with mint and topped with a creamy whipped macadamia cream. The vanilla is a pronounced flavour which countered the sweet berries well. Feel free to use it on top of your morning oats (see below), or as part of a parfait, or perhaps, more in keeping with fall, on top of a vegan pumpkin pie or fall-spiced hot beverage (pumpkin latte, pumpkin chai tea or hot chocolate, anyone?).
Are you ready for fall yet?
Mango Coconut Cups
Third time was a charm. Rob and I finally got our internet at home this weekend. (YES!)
We also moved all our stuff previously stored in my brother's basement.
I can no longer find my computer, though.
I mean, I know where it is, but it blocked by too many boxes to unpack.
OMG. We have a lot of stuff. I am truly a hoarder (of sorts).
Living a year without most of the stuff will make it easy to purge. Easier, I should clarify.
I am hoping to rebuild a decluttered home, but we have many boxes ahead of us. In time.
Otherwise, here are some quick and easy desserts to try. No need to wait too long for your mango to absorb any water, just blitz away. I added a touch of lemon zest to accentuate the sweetness of the mango. The coconut makes this luscious and decadent. These are more akin to a non-chocolate truffle in their consistency. I don't think they would work well as a ball, which is why I put them in the small cups. Another alternative would be to pour the batter into a small square container and then cut them into your preferred size. Enjoy!
Hoarder or purger? Which are you?
I will hopefully become a ruthless purger.
Raw Cinnamon Spice Ice Cream Cake
I was hoping to update you with happy news that our stuff had arrived. Sadly, no. A mix up at the customs warehouse means we are still without all stuff. Except our car. We have that because my parents' drove it down, hoping to help us unpack, only to find out our pod was not coming, as expected.
Anyways, I am ahead of myself. I am still reliving last weekend's debacle.
Curious as to how so many people were able to help when we were stranded with the car in the middle of nowhere?
Turns out my brother and sister-in-law were also driving back to Toronto around the same time. They were in Ottawa for my SIL's baby shower and we both left around the same time and thank goodness, they were still reasonably close when our distress call went out.
My mom hosted a fabulous shower and I had very little involvement. Other than suggesting some menu changes as there were limited vegan options. Considering I finagled 3 dishes, it was in directions only. I suggested some tried-and-true favourites for the appetizers: Pineapple and Cucumber Guacamole (my SIL stole the leftovers, so that was a success!), Cucumber Hummus Dip (very well received), and my Moroccan Chickpea and Carrot Salad as my main. I added a bit of cinnamon this time and liked that, too. I actually made a double batch so I could take the leftovers, but alas, they never made it. I hope my Mom liked it instead.
My mom totally outdid herself with the desserts (so.many.pretty.cakes!) so I knew any dessert I made would just be for myself. This was my experiment. And it was a very good experiment. My Mom treated herself to a new Vitamix so I took full use of it!
I used Brandi's recipe as my inspiration for this cinnamon spice vegan cheesecake. It was also my first time playing with a cake swirl! I really liked the the cake. I think lemon juice would be great here, but I swapped it for orange juice, since that was what my parents' had on hand. I also swapped a fresh apple for the apple juice. Because this is oil-free (no coconut oil or coconut butter), it is softer than my previous raw cheesecakes. This just means that you need to time it perfectly before you can eat it. If you leave it out at room temperature too long, it will melt into a softer cake. I liked it with still a bit of bite from the freezer, thus this was definitely an ice cream cake!
My swirling wasn't perfect but this just means I will have to try again with my next attempt. (See my tips below for my next round).
I am sharing this with Bookmarked Recipes. (more…)
Chocolate Mint Chip Ice Cream & The China Study All-Star Collection Giveaway
Houston gets me every single time. You leave for a week or two and you forget how hot and humid it is. Or maybe it just became hotter.
I thought it was ice cream weather before but now it has become a dietary staple. Just like salsas, we will have to wean ourselves from the vegan ice creams at Trader Joe's.
I have no ice cream maker, but this recipe promised to deliver.
Mint ice cream with chocolate chunks – what's not to like? I added some spirulina to make it a vibrant green base.
Sadly, it didn't work out. I actually wonder whether it could be done at all without an ice cream maker. I quickly realized the chocolate chunks would sink to the bottom if I didn't stir. So, I stirred the ice cream as it become to freeze, almost every 30 minutes for a few hours. Until it was way too late to stay up. Of course, in the morning, it was solid as a brick and difficult to thaw. I had a hard time getting it into a scoopable form and ended up thawing it in the microwave! It was also a bit icy, I suspect because I didn't remove the watery coconut water from the coconut milk.
I eventually refroze it into small quantities and ended up adding some soy milk to turn it into a smoothie. Next time, I may try Kari's idea to put it back in the food processor to whip it back into a creamy state. Or fish out my ice cream maker from storage.
The recipe comes from The China Study All-Star Collection which is a collection of vegan recipes that focus on whole foods with limited refined oils, sugars and salt. Like my cookbook collaboration, the recipes hail from many authors. I was familiar with some of the authors (Dreena Burton, Ani Phyo, Christy Morgan, and Lindsay Nixon) but also new-to-me authors like Chef AJ and Del Sroufe among others.
A cookbook like this makes a great introductory cookbook. You are exposed to the styles of many chefs, hopefully finding a few that really resonate with you, or others that perhaps push you in new directions. Would you like to try Dreena's Apple Lentil Dal? Or Christina's Daikon Mushroom Fettuccine? Or Laura's Cauliflower Steaks with Sweet Pepper Sauce? Or Heather's Dark Chocolate, Sweet Potato and Black Bean Brownies? Yeah, me too. All four. In fact, you may notice a few repeats from the more prolific writers. Lindsay's Quick Burgers have been shared earlier as well as Dreena's Mellow Lentil "Sniffle Soup" and Black Bean Soup with Sweet Potatoes (I shared that one in the fall and it was fabulous!). If nothing else, it may open you up to a whole new library from a new favourite author.
Of note, due to the multiple authors, the writing style of each author is apparent, along with the quality of their accompanying photographs.

Raw Mango Ginger Energy Balls & RLCT Recap 2014
This month has and will be a whirlwind.
In fact, this entire summer will be a crazy, wonderful adventure.
I have not leaked my summer adventures here yet. In brief: cycling, long vacation, moving back to Toronto, and yet more cycling. I am warning you now. There may not be much blogging.
For now, my early summer cycling triumphs have been conquered. A month ago, Rob and I rode the 165-km Shiner GASP and I finally got my riding mojo back a few weeks ago in time to ride the 2-day/334-km Rideau Lake Cycle Tour (RLCT) with my father last weekend. This was my third time on the course, but the second time I did the full "Classic Route". I described the route the first time I did it in 2011, but each year feels different depending on your level of training, equipment and weather.
Despite reducing my weekly cycling from 250 km to 150 km over the last month, I felt reasonably fit for the ride. I knew there were big hills that I just could not train adequately while in Houston, but we found as many hills as we could.
One difference this year, though, was that I did not have my own bike. A friend of my father graciously lent me a road bike for the weekend, although in the end, it was a men's bike that did not fit me properly. I took it for a ride the afternoon before the ride and was sore. Too sore, too fast. I frantically tracked down a women's road bike I could rent for the weekend which is hard to find when over 2000 other people are expected to cycle to Kingston. In the end, I found a nice bike to rent from an unlikely of stores, and they even loaned me cycling shoes to boot. This is the first year I have tried clips for my bicycle. There are different systems for clipping your shoes into bicycle pedals and SPD clips have been the bane of my existence. This weekend, I may have found a new clipping system I prefer: KEO.
In any case, while my Dad and I had fun together riding over the hills, I fell victim to all my new things, with saddle sores. Instead of my legs being tired, it was mainly the soles of my feet and my saddle that were the most bothersome. While some of the hills were still challenging, I felt the best prepared of all years. Granted, my Dad did 80% of the pulling. ;) Thankfully, the wind was not too bad but I think it helped to shave 15 minutes off our return ride along with an hour less breaks.
I actually did not bring anything recipe-inspired with me during my ride. Instead, I ate lots of bananas, dates and almonds. The dates and almonds would have been pulverized into balls anyways, so it was basically deconstructed trail mix. ;) I will not deprive you of a delicious recipe, though. They are not too travel-friendly though. I soaked the cashews, as recommended by Sarah, but I found them too creamy to be portable. Still delicious, though. I added some ginger, as a nod to the Lovely Lemon Hemp Protein Bites. I actually think these would be better with a shredded coconut dusting on the outside, but I only had coconut chips which don't lend as well to pretty exteriors.
I am on vacation for the rest of this week and very happy to not be riding for a few days. Our next goal is finding a place to live.
In case you're interested, another review of this year's ride was here and one from the volunteers that man the ham radio stations here.
Please tell me about all your plans for the summer!

Chocolate Chickpea Flour Cupcakes with Chocolate Tofu Frosting & Cookbook Giveaway
My lovely friends are true enablers.
I wanted to make cupcakes. Chocolate cupcakes.
Even with my (somewhat) minimalist pantry and kitchen, I was mostly to my goal.
I had silicone muffin wrappers, but no muffin tin. I wasn't sure whether I could simply bake the muffins without the tin, but my friend graciously lent me her muffin tray so I did not have to experiment. (Note: Please tell me if you have tried)
Next, I found the perfect recipe: a chocolate cupcake that only used chickpea flour as its base. No wheat flour, no funny grain flours, not even oat flour. Just chickpea flour. In fact, now I was rather intrigued. Chickpea flour cupcakes??
I was missing one ingredient, though: baking powder. I have baking soda (it also helps for cleaning), but no baking powder in my minimalist pantry. Oftentimes, especially if baking with chocolate, baking soda can be substitute with baking powder. So I tried that option first. Baking experiment fail #1: I forgot to look at the conversion and it isn't a 1:1 substitution. My cupcakes rose beautifully but tasted kind of salty and somewhat metallic.
I vowed to try again with less baking soda but my friend spared me the trouble and slipped me a bag of white powder at work. Clearly labelled baking powder. The label may have been unnecessary because if she were smuggling cocaine, I would have inherited a fortune. ;)
In any case, I shared the cupcakes at work. I was up-front that I was sharing vegan, gluten-free and grain-free cupcakes. I told people that it was made with besan/chickpea flour because quite a few of my co-workers cook with it, too, and they were shocked it could be used in a sweet baking treat.
However, what I did not share (initially) was what I was hiding in my frosting. I ran with the bean-theme and used tofu as my base! It is similar but more firm than my chocolate mousse pie filling. I thought it was too sweet when I first tasted it but it mellowed out and firmed up considerably overnight in the fridge. Both the frosting and cupcakes were well received, so I consider it a success!
This recipe is courtesy of Vegan Beans From Around the World which shares 100 recipes of naturally vegan recipes from around the world. Kelsey simplified the recipes to keep the ingredients easy-to-find and did a marvelous job of curating a variety of vegan bean-centric dishes. Dutch Split Pea Soup to Nigerian Black Eyed Pea Stew to Argentine White Bean Salad, there are plenty of dishes I still want to try. Oh, and the Navy Bean Pie (aka Muslim bean pie) which is also in the dessert section. I have been spoiled by gorgeous cookbooks as of late, so I am missing the pretty photos. Although hopefully these photos will encourage you to try out this fun cupcakes.

Note: I was given a copy of the cookbook from the publisher. I was under no obligation to share a review. The opinions expressed are entirely my own.
PS. Have no muffin tins? Try making this into a cake, as seen here.
PPS. Need other ideas for using chickpea flour? Look no further than Emma's round-up post.
PPPS. I am sharing this to Credit Crunch Munch and We Should Cocoa for $2 cakes. I didn't price out the cupcakes but without butter and eggs, vegan cakes are typically cheaper. Chickpea flour can be found at more economical prices at Indian grocers.
Tahini Cups with a Sweet Coffee-Infused Filling
You probably wept as I described Houston's spring/summer weather a few months ago. With the atrocious Canadian winter, I started clarifying when my Mom would ask me about the weather: Do you really want to know? Do you really want to know we have bone fide summer with 30 C highs while you just lost the last of your winter snow? I thought not.
Have no fear, though, you will have your just revenge. That hot and humid weather is mere weeks away, if not here already. Hot and humid? Yeah, that's was this weekend. Houstonians know this is peanuts compared to the upcoming summer (sad face). I am convinced that it is the humidity that makes the wind so heavy here, but I have nothing to prove it.
In any case, I made a Houston-newbie mistake last weekend. I brought these treats to a potluck. Not a problem in other cities, but Houston is hot these days. They were very keen to melting. Even in our apartment, with the air conditioner, they were quick to begin to melt. Since they were my only cooked food fit for others, I brought them anyhow. Imagine my shock when I arrived at the potluck, when they decided to serve the food outdoors! GAH!! A bit of reprieve, the desserts were to stay inside. I placed my container of mini treats with the other desserts and proceeded to pile up with all the delicious savoury options.
I returned indoors to the dessert table. The line from the savoury table now snaked indoors, right past the desserts. I had to do a double-take: only one half-treat remained. I told Christine to grab the last one. Instead of melting, within 5 minutes they had evaporated to high acclaim! Success!
One of my favourite parts of going to vegan potlucks (other than trying so much delicious food), is experimenting in my own kitchen. After seeing Lisa share these, I immediately wanted to try it. Tahini-based desserts were a definite hit earlier this year (see my Sweet Sesame Rice Crispy Treats) and I am warming up to liking a hint of coffee flavour. It pairs well with chocolate (hello Chocolate Mocha Pudding Cake!) but I was unsure about it without the chocolate. Lisa raved about it, so I gave it a whirl.
In case it wasn't obvious: it was a definite hit. The coffee flavour was subtle enough (for me) and paired well with the sweet dates. The tahini cups were a nice contrast with a creamy base. I liked that it was nut-free, which helps for those with nut-allergies at potlucks.
I made these into mini cups, which I think worked well since you could get more filling:base ratio. Tahini can be a bit bitter, but it was tempered nicely with the sweet date-heavy filling. I still had some filling leftover, which was easily slipped into my next morning's oatmeal. The tahini base settled a bit funny on top, which is probably because I didn't use enough. I just barely had enough to surround my 24 minicups. I changed the recipe below to account for more base.
Do you like tahini in your desserts? I am inspired to try more! Perhaps these salted tahini caramels are in my future: tahini + coconut flour + sweetener!

Mini Chocolate Banana Flax Cakes (Raw, No-Bake) & Raw, Quick & Delicious Cookbook Giveaway
I don't think I have ever eaten so many bananas in one day. I lost count, but I think I ate eight during the Shiner GASP. Never mind the oranges, peanuts and bars, oh and lots of water. I had those, too, but ate a banana nearly every rest stop. Rob and I also had some almost-sorry bananas after the hot weekend. My friend stepped on the tip of one by mistake so I knew I had to eat it soon. Too impatient to wait for them to freeze for smoothies, I made these mini cakes instead. 5 ingredients and 15 minutes later, I had a fudgy, gooey, chocolately delight.
5 ingredients, 15 minutes seems gimmicky, but it is the premise of Doug McNish's latest cookbook: Raw, Quick and Delicious. I have been sitting on this one for a while. During the winter, I had little desire to eat raw foods but now that summer has arrived, my time is short, I cannot eat through this cookbook fast enough. Smoothies, salads, and dressings, McNish has you covered for interesting combinations (spiced apricot smoothie, caprese stacked salad, curried carrot dressing). Furthermore, he includes breakfasts (cashew scramble wrap), main courses (raw sweet potato enchiladas!), snacks (cinnamon apple almond stacks!) and desserts (pecan pie brownies), none of which ask for a dehydrator or take too long to create. Some recipes call for sub-recipes throughout the book, though, but nothing seems too onerous. He focused on sharing recipes without fancy equipment or techniques, letting vegetables shine.
I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from this simple concoction. Needless to say, I was sceptical, but I ran with it. Doug knows his food.
Gooey chocolate bliss. The bananas create a soft, gooey consistency that is held together with the flax seeds, but there are enough flax seeds to give this some structure, too. Since it takes only 10 minutes to set and no baking is required, it is a bit gooey, but who doesn't like their chocolate cake super moist? I particularly liked it with the accent of the fresh banana slices to counter the darker chocolate flavour. (FYI, I tried it first with less agave, but tasted it and felt it deserved the full amount).
Need a way to eat copious amounts of flax seeds with glee? This would be it! You certainly don't taste it.
There are a few selected photos in the cookbook and they are gorgeous, including this one for these cakes:

Ange's Glo Bars & Oh She Glows Cookbook Review + Giveaway
Yet another travel-friendly, energy-boosting snack. But these are no ordinary granola bar. They are Angela's Infamous Classic Glo Bars, packed with all good things.
Have you ever noticed how many different kinds of granola bars Angela has posted? Soft-and-chewy baked sugar-free granola bars, healthy banana cranberry oat bars, last-minute protein energy bars, banana bread protein bars, and more. She is the Queen of Granola Treats. Previously, I had difficulties with her almond butter rice crisp treats which was probably due to too many substitutions. Thus, I (mostly) followed her recipe exactly, scoping out brown rice syrup. And let me tell you, this ingredient is key. Its viscosity alone lends to enhanced stickiness which helps keep the bars together. Initially, I tried to replace it with maple syrup, which probably didn't help the cause. In any case, I absolutely loved these bars. Not too sweet with a hint of peanut butter, still packed with an assortment of seeds. I used puffed kamut (instead of crisped rice) and I liked this more because it lended to a more chewy bar.
The cycling has been more intense (HILLS! OMG HILLS!), which explains why I have been sharing more treats. I have enough fore-thought and energy to make my snacks at the end of the week. Rob makes us tamarind lentils to go. In theory, this should give us more time so we can leave earlier Saturday morning. In theory, alas. We ended up sleeping in last weekend and having another later start in the hills. Our Saturdays have started to look like an entire treat day: fun snacks, tamarind lentils for lunch, tropical agua fresca from Mi Tienda #2 (this week it was papaya and pina colada on tap), followed out by a meal made by someone else… because we don't have much energy to cook for ourselves once we get back.
By Sunday, I get my cooking mojo back and have been enjoying cooking out of Angela's latest cookbook: The Oh She Glows Cookbook. I am behind the surge of posts highlighting its praises, but that is just because I have been smitten by trying all.the.recipes. All in the name of good review research for the blog.
With such a popular and prolific blog, long-time readers of her blog may wonder how many are new recipes. Angela mentions that there are 75 new recipes with a dozen new-and-improved reader favourites. Angela has grown as a recipe developer, as I have had some failures with her earlier recipes. Thankfully some of my favourite recipes from her blog made it to the cookbook: Creamy Lemon Basil Avocado Sauce, Salt and Vinegar Roasted Chickpeas, and her Lemon-Tahini Dressing. She is also a much better photographer than me, so this cookbook is eye-candy as well as delicious. A photograph of possibly every single recipe. How awesome is that? Her recipes are all vegan, all whole foods based, 85% gluten-free and mostly soy-free.
I cooked and baked my way through 10 recipes (so far) and then had the difficult decision of what to share. In truth, I already shared the Breakfast Chocolate Mocha Pudding Cake, but those photographs would not due justice to such a nice cookbook. My other favourites were the On the Mend Spiced Red Lentil-Kale Soup and the Crowd-Pleasing Tex-Mex Casserole. Some meals were a bit lacklustre (Indian lentil-cauliflower soup) but just adjust the seasonings to your taste. You can see all of my recipe reviews here. There are still more recipes I want to try and will continue to enjoy cooking from this cookbook.

Breakfast Chocolate Mocha Pudding Cake
Breakfast Chocolate Mocha Pudding Cake.
Because all things with rolled oats are actually meant for breakfast. Add coffee to it, some chocolate for good measures, then there is no question: this is all good breakfast things. A perfect way to start your day.
Because that coffee at night, may keep you awake. Or maybe it was the chocolate.
This was how I rationalized eating this for breakfast.
Eaten fresh, this is basically a self-saucing cake. A chunky dense cake doused in a mocha-chocolate sauce. It was really good, although a bit gummy from the oat flour.
I apologize for the unappealing photographs, but the leftovers were what I had to work with… The leftovers firmed up a lot after the overnight rest, sopping up the sauce, leaving this with a texture more comparable to leftover oatmeal. I hope you still get the idea that this is saucy, though.
Just so you know, I debated remaking this to get a better photo, but decided to share it anyways. My motto is to keep things stress-free and I wanted to share this sooner rather than later.
Chocolate pudding cake has always been associated with the Good Friday Cooking Disaster of 2009, wherein I made a meatless feast with a black bean and pumpkin soup, penne alla vodka and finished it off with a brownie pudding cake. Of course, all were new recipes that I was dying to try out. If I recall correctly, everyone was mostly satisfied with my first two dishes (I remember the penne alla vodka turning out well but I had to simmer off a lot of liquid) but all heck broke loose when I shared dessert. My family did not like it and they told me very bluntly. (Too sweet! I can cook better than you!) That last part is true.
However, I think everyone would love this pudding cake, for dessert or breakfast. Or both. Rob highly approved. For both.
In addition of its association with the upcoming Easter holiday, I also wanted to share this because I received some lovely ingredients to try courtesy of Carrington Farms, ground flax seeds and coconut oil, both of which I used here. Because this is a pudding cake filled with all good things. Check out stores near you celebrating Carrington Farm's All Good April campaign by passing deals to you, too. In Houston, you can find that at HEB and Fiesta Mart. They also have additional coupons on their website.
Disclosure: I wrote this review as part of the #CarringtonAllGoodApril campaign with Carrington Farms, through FitFluential LLC. I received the products described at no cost in order to complete the review. However, opinions are honest and my own.

Chocolate Puffed Quinoa Treats (aka Quinoa Choc-Crackle Slice) & Cookbook Giveaway
Another bike ride and another treat!
Although this weekend was more about travelling to Austin for the Texas VegFest to meet the ever wonderful Tess Challis, instead of cycling. We had lofty plans for both, although the rainy weather foiled our plans.
We decided to play chicken with the weather. We wanted to cycle at least 100 km, if not more. Instead of going out for a long loop, we drove out to a more rural location and used it as our home base. I would have been very happy doing multiple laps along a straight and flat road but Rob thought that would be too boring. Instead, Rob drafted 30-35 km loops in a few directions. We pedalled through two loops before giving in to the wind and rain.
Us versus the weather? We lost. Our bikes? Super dirty. Our car won. It became clean.
The nice thing, though, was that I was able to take out these treats. I was really curious to try them out. Not only to see whether it would be better than my last puffed quinoa treat, but I was curious about using coconut sugar as a binder.
The good part? They tasted great. A chocolately goop to keep everything together. Not too sweet with a hint of almond. Since the quinoa was puffed and not crisp, they were easy to munch on. However, my intuition was correct about the coconut sugar: it did not hold up well as a binder. The only way I could keep these treats together was by chilling it in the freezer. Even then, perfectly cut squares were hard to craft. I resorted to breaking off nibbles when I wanted a treat. As such, these were not portable snacks but worked out well with our continuous looping back to the car. I wonder whether coconut nectar would work better as a binder, although I have never tried it.
The treats are from a fun new vegan cookbook called (wait for it) The Vegan Cookbook. It is a gorgeous cookbook with creative yet approachable recipes: breakfast tagine, kale & soba noodles with ginger-chilli sauce, curried chickpea patties with satay dipping sauce, chai-spiced banana muffins and chocolate banana wontons. Authored by Adele McConnell of Vegie Head, I must admit I had never heard of it before, but we have been enjoying many of her recipes, including the super fast chickpea curry and South African sweet potato stew (very similar to my previously shared recipe). The rasam soup was a bit too tart for me, but at least it wasn't mind-blowing spicy. In any case, with a wide range of international whole food recipes, I have many more dishes I look forward to making.
Here's to hoping the nice weather persists for this weekend. Not only for our cycling adventures but for all those partaking in the MS150 this weekend, too. :)
Thankfully, the publisher allowed me to share the recipe and giveaway the cookbook to a reader living anywhere in the world (YAYAYA!). To be entered in the random draw for the cookbook, please leave a comment below telling me about your favourite vegan meal. The winner will be selected at random on April 21, 2014. Good luck!

Chai Spiced Rice Pudding & The Blender Girl Cookbook Giveaway
Adult rice krispies and now adult rice pudding.
The difference is that I liked rice krispies as a kid but hated rice pudding. My brother loved it, but me, not so much.
However, spice it up with chai-infused flavours, sweeten it with apple, dried currants and a touch of maple syrup, bathe it in coconut milk and sprinkle it with pistachios along with leftover short-grain brown rice, and I am a happy camper.
This is no quick-fix rice pudding but it sure is delicious. My friend who tried it said it was the best rice pudding she had ever eaten.
This is my take on Tess Masters' version found in her gorgeous new cookbook The Blender Girl. Do not let the title mislead you too much. Yes, this is a cookbook where nearly every recipe uses a blender, but this does not mean only smoothies. The recipes are all gluten-free and vegan with only natural sweeteners. The recipes revolve around whole foods. Raw and cooked recipes are included. Tess has recipes for juices, smoothies, dips/spreads, soups, dressings, sauces and even desserts. She has entrees that use homemade sauces, including her penang curry and creamy mushroom stroganoff. Desserts include sugar-free no-pumpkin pie and chocolate-chile banana splits. Breakfast favourites including pancakes and crepes, with delicious toppings like ginger-apple-pear butter and instant raw raspberry jam. She even finds a way to use a blender for rice pudding.
She knows her stuff. It may dirty another container but I liked how a portion of the rice was pureed to thicken the rice pudding. It was rather ingenious.
She is a girl smitten by her high-speed blender. I can tell. I have one, too, and I find it hard to remember what my kitchen was like without it. Do you need an expensive high speed blender for this cookbook? Certainly not. However, you definitely need something with a blending capacity, may that be a regular blender, an immersion blender or a food processor. If you don't have a blender, you could still gain inspiration from her creations. Your textures may be different but it would be fun to see what else you could make.
Thankfully, the publisher allowed me to share the recipe and giveaway the cookbook to a reader living in the United States. To be entered in the random draw for the cookbook, please leave a comment below telling me what you love to make with your blender (or blending instrument). The winner will be selected at random on April 20, 2014. Good luck!

Consistency (database systems)
|This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (December 2008)
As an ACID Guarantee[edit]
Consistency is one of the four guarantees that define ACID transactions; however, significant ambiguity exists about the nature of this guarantee. It is defined variously as:
- The guarantee that any transactions started in the future necessarily see the effects of other transactions committed in the past[1][2]
- The guarantee that database constraints are not violated, particularly once a transaction commits[3][4][5][6]
- The guarantee that operations in transactions are performed accurately, correctly, and with validity, with respect to application semantics[7]
As these various definitions are not mutually exclusive, it is possible to design a system that guarantees "consistency" in every sense of the word, as most relational database management systems in common use today arguably do.
As a CAP Trade-off[edit]
The CAP Theorem is based on three trade-offs, one of which is "atomic consistency" (shortened to "consistency" for the acronym), about which the authors note, "Discussing atomic consistency is somewhat different than talking about an ACID database, as database consistency refers to transactions, while atomic consistency refers only to a property of a single request/response operation sequence. And it has a different meaning than the Atomic in ACID, as it subsumes the database notions of both Atomic and Consistent."[1]

The annual NBAA convention routinely serves as an appropriate time to reflect on activity in the pre-owned market for both light jets and single-engine turboprops. As we look back at the year that has passed, it's fair to say that while these markets have not set any blistering records, some calm is in the air.
Financial markets
An old axiom for Wall Street players advises to "sell in May and go away" and clearly most investors would have done well to follow that advice last year, as the stock market began a several-month slide. The correlation of the stock market to the vitality of the aircraft market is easy to see when looking at used inventory levels from May and June a year ago and the ups and downs experienced since then.
The business aviation industry has now passed rock-bottom in what has been a cyclical dip of historic proportions, but the pace and extent of its recovery remain far from clear. This was the main area of consensus among delegates to the International Corporate Jet & Helicopter Finance conference held in London in mid-February.
The market for pre-owned business aircraft will remain flat for at least another 12 to 24 months and may not completely emerge from the down cycle until 2013 or 2014, according to Freestream Aircraft chief executive Alireza Ittihadieh.
Business aircraft trading has started to move more freely, but the fallout from the financial crisis continues to cast a shadow over the market, according to JetBrokers Europe. The UK-based group says brokers are having to work harder and be more inventive to get deals closed. And buyers are facing much closer scrutiny from lenders.
During a time when careful shoppers might be expected to make every effort to save money, the charter brokerage business has continued to grow, despite the fact that there is nothing stopping consumers from contacting charter providers directly and negotiating their best deal.
Despite teetering over the abyss of economic collapse and having to overcome negative public perception surrounding corporate jet ownership, the used aircraft market has battled back, slowly and perhaps surprisingly consistently, chipping away at a glutted market. Month after month since late 2008, buyers have stepped into the market and pared back the numbers to arrive at the lowest inventory level in a year-and-a-half.
As used aircraft values got pummeled over the last few quarters, it seemed that the buyers had all but disappeared. They hadn't. Now that the inventory of most model types is at unprecedented highs and prices are at unprecedented lows, buyers are reemerging in more noticeable numbers and scoring big time on CJs to G550s, often executing a trade some 30- to 50-percent below the prices accepted at this time last year.
The flow of used aircraft to the market is slowing fairly dramatically, and some may wonder if that's because all the aircraft for sale are already on the market. It might seem that way to some, but the more than 3,000 aircraft for sale right now–while not an insignificant number–represent only a fraction of the more than 16,500 jets currently in operation.
Sources for financing of corporate aircraft purchases may be harder to find this year than last, but Toennies von Limburg, director of international sales with Bank of America Corporate Aircraft Finance (Booth No. 394), said there is value to be had in what has turned rapidly from a buyers' to a sellers' market.

The New England Patriots may ave a lot of people rooting for them today, but that glosses over the fact that they're not the favorites to win today's AFC Championship game against the Denver Broncos. The Patriots are hot at the moment now and a lot of that has to do with their great defensive secondary play as of late.
Last week the Patriots had a field day with Andrew Luck and absolutely picked him apart. Alfonzo Dennard was a large part of the disruption in the AFC Divisional game and New England needs him to have a big game again to contain Peyton Manning.
One thing the Patriots don't need is Dennard, or any other defensive player, to get injured. That's exactly what happened on the first defensive drive of the game for the Patriots as Dennard injured his shoulder making a play. He left the game and his replacement was burned by Eric Decker on the next play, and Patriots fans were starting to get nervous.
But after the teams traded punts, Dennard returned to the field and appears to be back for now. The injury scare didn't take long to occur though, and the Patriots will be on their toes health-wise for the rest of the game.

Turns out somebody gave the game to my dad at work and he stuck it in my bedroom without telling my mom. I wish I had more games like this, they are quite fun. It is so fun that I am already on Level 21 out of 72. I've been playing it for the last 2-4 hours. Gears of War Mature Games Xbox 360 war games action games shooter games crworld posted this

Sorry for the Cross post - originally posted in Server 2008 section(not R2)
Attachment 15835
Default domain GPO error - 2k3 to 2008 upgrade
Ok a long time ago I upgraded our 2k3 network to a 2008r2, and all has been well. All old GPO's have been running fine etc. Until now .....
I have just tried creating a new folder redirection policy (my docs) on the server and it's not working, the gpo does't even show up on the client machine, gpresult only shows Desktop redirect.
So a lot of fiddling, recreating of users, ou's, gpo's later I am still stuck. So I took a look at the default domain policy, and lo and behold I find an error there : - An unknown error occurred while data was gathered for this extension. Details: FRSettingRead failed with -2147020590 (screenshot attached) I cannot find the setting to edit/remove. I assume this is an old 2003 gpo setting.
Google says its an oversized ini file but none of mine are over 400kb. So i'm a bit stuck.
Any suggestions ??

Each and every one of our plaques is made by hand, by us, with a great deal of love, care and attention.
Each begins with an original sculpture carved in clay, then individually hand cast using a porcelain based cement mix.
Hand finished and beautifully decorated with a wash to give them a subtle aged look, they are a true work of art and are not to be confused with mass produced ornaments found elsewhere.

what: Korra likes to give Mako nicknames - partly because he makes it so easy, and partly because she thinks it's hilarious that he always proves her point. A one-shot series.
who: Mako & Korra & Rai Li (ray-lee) & Kouri (corey). Makorra.
when: about twelve-fifteen years post-series/post this point in the series.
where: Republic City Park.
why: Slowpoke.
5. Slowpoke
Exactly how she's managed to retain most of her strength after everything – sitting through council meetings day in and day out and years of sudden inactivity and two pregnancies and time – Korra doesn't know, but she does know that she's thankful for it as she catches up to Rai Li and snatches her up, throws her over her shoulder, dangling upside-down by her legs while she shrieks with laughter.
"Mommy!" Rai squeals. "Put me down!"
Korra secures her grip on her daughter's ankles. "No can do, kiddo."
She whirls around – Rai Li squeals some more – and calls to her husband, lagging behind, "Hey, Slowpoke! Wanna hurry up and get over here before I go gray?"
"Yeah, Slowpoke!" echoes Rai Li. She struggles to do a kind of midair crunch. Relenting, Korra lets go of her and airbends her safely back to her feet.
"Working on it," Mako says from a distance. He kneels, scoops up Kouri and places his arms around his neck, carrying him toward them. "I think this one's ready for a nap."
Korra leans down to Rai Li and stage-whispers, "Dad's lying. He's just using Kouri as an excuse because he wants to be lazy."
Rai stifles a giggle behind her hand. Mako's rolling his eyes, smiling.
"I wouldn't mind it," he admits, using two fingers to gently remove Kouri's thumb from his mouth. "But that doesn't make me lazy."
"Sure it doesn't," says Korra, and she winks at Rai Li before heaving an exaggerated sigh. "All right then. Your dad's spoken, Rai. What he says goes. Dad's word is law."
"Awwww!" While Mako's busy glaring at her (Korra smirks), Rai, short little thing she is, latches onto his leg. "Can't we stay just a little longer, Daddy? I don't wanna go home!"
Impressive, Korra thinks, just like she has about every day for the past six years or so, as gold meets gold and Mako melts. Not even trying and she's got him wrapped around her finger. When she gets to be a teenager…
Her hearts twists and the sentence is cut off in her head by not my baby. Deciding to cross that bridge when they come to it (seven years from now, thank the spirits), she reaches out for her son and hugs him tight, picks stray pieces of grass out of his dark hair and caresses his cheek. Kouri blinks sleepy blue eyes at her and rests his head on her shoulder, yawning into the crook of her neck.
"Hey, Ri, baby," she murmurs.
"We don't have to leave, Rai," Mako tells her, bending over to pry her off him.
She looks up, her chin against his knee. "We don't?"
"No," he says. "We can just find a tree and sleep there."
He glances sideways at Korra; she raises her eyebrows with a smile playing on her mouth.
Rai seems to be lost in serious contemplation. Her eyebrows are drawn together and her lips are puckered into a thoughtful pout. "But…"
She beckons Mako closer.
Shaking her head, she just waves him again.
"You're gonna have to stand up, sweetie, I can't bend that far."
Korra's unable to stop herself from snorting but manages to hide the rest of her snicker. Mako gives her a really? Look as Rai Li releases her choke-hold on his leg and cups her hands around his ear.
"You won't set the tree on fire," he says, more for Korra's benefit than Rai's.
"What about the grass?" Rai asks anxiously.
To his credit, he doesn't even chuckle. "You won't set the grass on fire, either."
Pride overflows in Korra because her daughter, so young, so oblivious to the world and the nature of life, cares so much for all aspects of it, regardless of whether or not it has a face.
"Promise?" Cue the big eyes.
Mako drops a kiss onto the top of her head, smoothing her hair. "Promise."
"C'mon," says Korra. "I know a great spot for napping."
They walk along the river. Kouri lifts his head and stares at it with way more concentration than is appropriate for a three-year-old to have, and maybe she's just getting her hopes up but she thinks she sees a wave surge under his gaze, an extra splash here or there.
Rai Li moves ahead and Mako falls in step beside Korra. "Very mature," he mutters out of the side of his mouth, and she grins.
"You know it."
He flushes adorably, the same way he's always done around this topic and especially around the kids. She shifts Kouri in her arms to take his hand and squeeze it.
He's so long-limbed he can stretch his arm forward and tug on a lock of Rai's hair. She spins around: He point's at Korra, and Rai's glare slides to her.
"Liar!" Korra says. "My hands are full, kiddo, look," and she tries to lift her and Mako's joined hands, but he rips his from her grasp, raising both to shoulder height. She elbows him. "Dad's lying again, Rai."
"Am not," Mako says.
"There he goes again!"
Rai Li puts her hands on her hips and says, with little-girl exasperation, "Daddy, lying is wrong."
Korra struggles not to laugh, but he keeps a straight face. "Sorry, Rai."
She turns around and they walk on. Korra nudges her husband in the ribs again so he knows something's up, but he doesn't react in time to prevent her from giving another tug on Rai Li's hair. Rai turns back around and says, "Dad!" while Korra's trying to wrestle Mako's hand into hers.
"I need an alibi!" she whines. Once more he pulls himself free and points at her.
"Mom did it that time, I swear!"
Rai shakes her head, disappointed. "You just said you wouldn't lie, Daddy."
Mako's jaw falls open in indignation. He throws Korra a dirty look.
"You've turned our daughter against me," he says.
"Me? Why, I would never do such a thing!" she says, grinning at him. "You did that all by yourself – Boy Who Cried Wolfbat-style."
"Momma?" Kouri says, right into her ear.
"Yes, baby?"
"Can you tell me a story?"
The fountain comes into view, and the tree with it.
"Right now?"
"Right now? This second?" She tickles his stomach and his sides and his neck and he laughs high-pitches toddler laughs.
"Hmm…" She pretends to consider it. "I don't know…"
"Please?" He sticks out his lower lip.
"Yeah, Mom, please?" Rai Li chimes in. Her hand swings from Mako's and his eyes shine.
"Okay, okay," she says, groaning as she plops down beneath the tree and leans against its trunk, letting Kouri roll in a kind of controlled fall into her lap. "Just lemme think a minute. You two have tired me… out…"
Korra puts her head back and fakes snoring. Giggling like crazy children, her kids shake her "awake."
"Huh? What? Oh, I guess we've been sleeping a while, time to go!" She starts to get up.
"No!" Rai Li says, pulling her down. Kouri just laughs and so does Mako, at last, lacing their fingers.
"So you only wanna hold my hand when it's convenient for you?"
"I think you have a story to tell," he says.
"You're avoiding the question!"
He laughs some more and kisses her temple, leaning his head against hers. "Story…" he says, closing his eyes.
"Story!" Kouri repeats.
"C'mon over here, Rai." Mako opens his arm, and then, because she's hesitating: "You won't burn the grass. I promised, remember?"
There's another moment of pause and then Rai climbs into his embrace, curls up against his chest. Korra wants to laugh but doesn't. Still – the girl relights her birthday candles two months ago – all six of them – and now she thinks she can destroy the entire park? Someday, Korra doesn't doubt that, but not this one. Today there's just trepidation and a complete lack of self-confidence (I wonder who she gets that from) and probably a little fear, too.
She smiles, sliding further down the trunk so she's sprawled out on the grass.
"What story do you wanna hear?" she asks.
"The Boy Who Cried Wolfbat!" blurs Rai, and Mako frowns.
"Maybe you can ask Uncle Bo to tell you that one later," Korra says.
The magic words – they both light up.
"Uncle Bo?"
"He's coming?"
"Yeah, we're gonna see him tonight. If he tells you The Boy Who Cried Wolfbat, he can do the voices and everything."
"Tell us a new story," Rai says.
"A new story about Pabu? Let's see… How about Pabu's origins?"
In response, all three of them, even Mako, scoots closer.
"There was once a fire ferret named Pabu," she begins. "He lived in Republic City all by himself. Pabu was very lonely, and he was scared by the tall buildings and the loud Satomoblies. The other fire ferrets in the city didn't like him very much because his fur was brighter red than theirs, so Pabu didn't have any friends. But then one day, Pabu saw two boys eating some bread in an alley. Pabu was really hungry, so he stole the bread from the boys and ran across the street. The two boys chased after him, using earthbending and firebending to slow him down until they caught him. Realizing he had no way out, Pabu gave them back their bread. When the boys let him go again, he followed them back to where they had been before and found out that he'd saved them from getting the bread stolen by a bad guy who wouldn't have given it back to them. To thank Pabu for his heroic deed, the two boys shared their bread with him and promised to be his friend forever. And they were, and the three best friends lived happily ever after. The end."
Kouri's already asleep, his cheek on her thigh. Rai Li twists around on Mako and Korra's stomach; they've both "oof"ed and grunted and just missed getting kicked in the nose more than once by the time she's comfortable.
"Not your best," Mako informs her. "But I'll give you points for historical accuracy. More or less."
"Shut up." Korra runs her hand up and down Rai's back. "You good, kiddo?"
"Good," she says. Leaves rustle overhead and she can feel the wind hum through them, the sky curving above the solid earth, the dappled sunlight on her skin, her heart beating nothing but love through her veins. She looks over and Mako's staring at her with eyes like the sun. "What?"
He smiles. Just a little. "Nothing."
She can feel her children breathing, feel his gaze scorching, feel the life – her life, her whole entire world – all around her, inside her, and it makes her smile the same way. Nothing. Everything. Exactly.
"Okay." She sighs and she realizes that she's really, really happy.
"Happy birthday…" Her fingers dig into his side, slowly, slowly, surely, with her nails, leaving a mark, a promise of things to come when the stars start to sing. "…Slowpoke."

One of the main concerns for the Chicago Bulls during the first month of the NBA season is that the team does not have enough scoring options. Behind starters Derrick Rose and Luol Deng, it remains to be seen who else can be defined as a scorer for the Bulls.
As the season progresses, many expect that the Bulls will look to add another scoring option before the trade deadline in February. One option for the Bulls is a player who was once loved by Bulls fans. That player is shooting guard Ben Gordon.
According to Mike McGraw of the Daily Herald, the Bulls may have an interest in acquiring Gordon from the Bobcats. Of the Bobcats eleven games this season, Gordon has only appeared in one of them. The lack of playing time for Gordon this season would seem to suggest that the Bobcats may look to part ways with former Bull.
There is no question that Gordon was at his best when he was with the Bulls from 2004 to 2009. Gordon's career with the Bulls came to an end after the Bulls lost to the Boston Celtics in the 2009 playoffs. In that series for the Bulls, Gordon averaged 24.3 points per game.
Gordon is a logical fit for the Bulls. The addition of Gordon would allow Kirk Hinrich to work strictly as a backup to Rose, and Gordon would be the primary backup to Jimmy Butler at the shooting guard position. Gordon coming off the bench for the Bulls may provide a spark for the team like Nate Robinson did last season. Thus giving the Bulls the shooter that they may need when the team makes their playoff run.
