When it's warm, this reminds me of super-moist lava cake. And until I made this, I didn't think a slow-cooker cake could be so attractive. It's a real winner. —Scarlett Elrod, Newnan, GA
- 1 package German chocolate cake mix (regular size)
- 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3-1/4 cups 2% milk, divided
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) cook-and-serve chocolate pudding mix
- 1-1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- Vanilla ice cream, optional
- In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients; add 1-1/4 cups milk. Beat on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium 2 minutes. Transfer to a greased 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Sprinkle cook-and-serve pudding mix over batter.
- In a small saucepan, heat remaining milk until bubbles form around sides of pan; gradually pour over dry pudding mix.
- Cook, covered, on high 3-4 hours or until a toothpick inserted in cake portion comes out with moist crumbs.
- Turn off slow cooker. Sprinkle marshmallows, chocolate chips and pecans over cake; let stand, covered, 5 minutes or until marshmallows begin to melt. Serve warm. If desired, top with ice cream. Yield: 16 servings.
Editor's Note: To toast nuts, bake in a shallow pan in a 350° oven for 5-10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.

Effective Virtual Teams for New Product DevelopmentNader Ale EbrahimUniversity of Malaya (UM) - Department of Engineering Design and Manufacture, Faculty of Engineering; University of Malaya (UM) - Research Support Unit, Centre of Research Services, Institute of Research Management and Monitoring (IPPP) Shamsuddin AhmedUniversity of Malaya (UM) Salwa Hanim Abdul RashidUniversity of Malaya (UM) - Department of Engineering Design and Manufacture Zahari TahaUniversity Malaysia Pahang - Department of Manufacturing Engineering June 7, 2012 Scientific Research and Essay, 7(21), 1971-1985, June 2012 Abstract: At present, the existing literature shows that the factors which influence the effectiveness of virtual teams for new product development are still ambiguous. To address this problem, a research design was developed, which includes detailed literature review, preliminary model and field survey. From literature review, the factors which influence the effectiveness of virtual teams are identified and these factors are modified using a field survey. The relationship between knowledge workers (people), process and technology in virtual teams is explored in this study. The results of the study suggest that technology and process are tightly correlated and need to be considered early in virtual teams. The use of software as a service, web solution, report generator and tracking system should be incorporated for effectiveness virtual teams.

Need of fertilizer application
In generally 16 nutrients are essential for normal plant growth and crop production. Plants derive 3 major nutrients from air and water, and the remaining from soil. However, 3 nutrients viz., Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K), which are required in large amount, are not adequately available in the soil to Support the sustained production and needed to be applied through external fertilizers. It has been reported that production of 1000 kg tea-leaf (dry weight) removes 40-50 kg nitrogen, 4-8.5 kg phosphorus and 16-19 kg potash. Besides, stems and older leaves also lock about 50 kg nitrogen,12 kg phosphorus and 32 kg potash. Weeds growing in tea field absorb substantial quantity of the nutrients and if removed from the fields, result in their permanent loss. The removal of nutrients thus, has to be compensated by their external application. Besides, response of other nutrients viz., sulphur, magnesium, zinc etc. is being noticed in high productive gardens.
Role of fertilizers Nitrogen
Application of fertilizers Fertilizer doses
For the tea plantations in Himachal Pradesh, the following interim recommendation is being given:
For exact recommendation of the fertilizers, the growers are advised to maintain section-wise crop yield and soil-nutrient status data.
Calculation of fertilizer dose
Dose of any fertilizer can be calculated by using following formula:
Quantity of Fertilizer required = 100 x Dose of nutrient
Nutrient content
For example, if 90 kg nitrogen per ha is to be applied through Ammonium sulphate fertilizer, containing 20.6 % nitrogen (N), the quantity of Ammonium sulphate needed would be:
Quantity of Ammonium sulphate = 100 x 90/20.6
= 437 kg say, 9 bags per ha (1bag = 50 Kg) The ready recknor given below may be used for fertilizer application:
Fertilizer |
*For 1 ha (25 kanal) |
Unpruned |
Pruned |
Ammonium |
9-12 bags 4-5 bags |
9 bags 4 bags |
Single Super |
11 bags |
11 bags |
Muriate of Potash |
3 bags |
3-4 bags |
* Dose of phosphorus and potash may be reduced if their available status in the soil is very high.
Time of application
After thorough mixing, the fertilizers should be applied before the onset of plucking season i.e. during February- March after rain when there is sufficient soil moisture. In pruned sections, the fertilizer should be applied after the first flush i.e. in June when the bushes attain sufficient foliage.
Method of application
In wide-spaced sections, where the ground coverage is not complete, apply the fertilizer mixture in a broad ring corresponding to the periphery of the bush frame. In sections where ground coverage is complete and the bushes are compact, it will be practically difficult to apply fertilizers in a ring. In such case, apply fertilizer between the rows in a broad band or broadcast it uniformly all over the ground, avoiding the dumping or heaping of the fertilizers within the bush frame or at the collar level.
The fertilizer may be applied in a single split (March) or in two splits (March and June) as per the convenience. However, in gardens where extra dose of fertilizer is needed, it should be applied in two splits.
In case of young tea, nitrogen, phosphorus and potash fertilizers should be applied in the ratio of 3:2:4 with nitrogen dose of 20, 40, 60 and 80 kg per ha in the first, second, third and forth year of planting, respectively in the ring method.
Properties of commonly used fertilizers
(a) Nitrogenous fertilizer
Ammonium sulphate (SoA): Most widely used fertilizer in tea, increases soil acidity, is less hygroscopic and has greater chemical stability; white to yellowish grey in Color and contains 20.6 % nitrogen and 24% sulphur.
Urea: Most concentrated nitrogenous fertilizer containing 46% N; white crystalline fairly hygroscopic, and soluble in water; partially lost by volatilization if applied on dry soil. It is also more suitable for foliar application than other nitrogen fertilizers as it causes less scorching.
(b) Phosphatic fertilizers
Single super phosphate (SSP): Most commonly used phosphatic fertilizer containing 16% phosphate and 12% sulphur and 20% calcium; ash colored, available in powder and granular forms.
Rock phosphate: Contains 18-25 % phosphate, insoluble in water but soluble in acidic soil solution; required to be placed at 15-25 cm depth in soil.
Mussoori rock phosphate (MRP) - the black powder containing 18-20% phosphate - is considered better than others.
(c) Potassic fertilizers
Muriate of potash (MoP): Cheaper source and most commonly used potassic fertilizer containing 60% potash and is reddish or dull white crystalline material.
Sulphate of potash: Dirty white powdery material containing 50% potash.
(d) Mixed fertilizers
The fertilizers containing more than one nutrients are called mixed fertilizers, e.g. IFFCO mixture (12: 32: 16) contains 12% N. 32% P and 16% K. In case such mixed fertilizer are to be used, calculate its dose based on highest content of the nutrient (e.g. 32% P2O5 in case of IFFCO mixture) and calculate the outstanding balance of the remaining two nutrients which has to be compensated through their other sources. Then recalculates the required dose of these fertilizers.

Academic Advising
Academic advisors are a student's educational partner. They help WCTC students understand the college's programs, policies and procedures, and they provide tools and resources needed to be successful. Students are encouraged to maintain an ongoing relationship with their academic advisor and check in with them each semester.
Whether you have questions about how to apply, application deadlines, grade requirements, transferring to another institution or how to drop a class, academic advisors are eager to help.
It is helpful to check in with your Academic Advisor to make sure that you are on the right track. Here are some options to connect with your Academic Advisor:
- Getting Started Session (prospective students)
- Registration Planning Session
- Individual phone/in-person Appointment - 262.691.5400
- Drop-in sessions
Academic advisors are assigned to students based on a particular program of study. If you currently are not in a program and need assistance with any of the above services, please contact our Advising & Counseling Center, 262.691.5400, to be directed to the most appropriate Advisor or Career Specialist.

On Being an Academic Advisor
College is such a unique experience. You have the opportunity to choose what you want to study and set your schedule. I was a first-generation college student and attended a large university. I had to learn very quickly where my classes were, where to pay the tuition bills, how to select classes, register, apply for financial aid, where I could get additional help with my papers, etc. The size of the college does not matter, but being able to navigate through the system is crucial to student success. I learned about the resources available and my key point people on campus. My goal is to help students have a successful college experience by providing the tools that are needed to thrive at WCTC. I am your key point person and cheerleader as you work your way through your program.
Advice/Tips to Students
Don't be afraid to ask questions! There really are no stupid questions. If you don't know who to ask, start with me. I can answer many of your questions and direct you to the appropriate resource.

On Being an Academic Advisor
As an academic advisor, I enjoy the opportunity to support students through their journeys of self-improvement and professional development. Attending college can be a life changing experience, and with that it can also be overwhelming. I like that my role allows me to help students to better understand the school and the education process, and hopefully in that, ease some of the nerves associated with it. Finally, I enjoy getting to meet so many diverse people. I am continuously learning from students and that keeps it exciting for me!
Advice/Tips to Students
The best advice that I could give a student would be to get out of your comfort zone. The college experience is not only about learning technical skills, but also about developing as a person. Take advantage of leadership opportunities, service learning, international education trips, social activities, and your peer network. Ultimately, it will help to make you a well-rounded professional.

As a college student I was very involved in leadership positions, and this sparked a desire to work with students in their first year transition into college. Being a first generation minority college student, I remembered all the questions that I had and how lost I became as I started my journey. I was very appreciative of the help I received and in return wanted to help others.
Advice/Tips to Students
Get involved! By doing so, you'll find lots of hidden talents and interests you might not have known you had. Getting involved early helps you gain experiences that will enhance your resume; making you more marketable. Student clubs and organizations help you gain experience in event planning, fundraising and shows off great leadership skills.

I have always been a people person and knew that I wanted to work with people since I was young. As I advanced my education, I realized the importance of giving back and building up the community around me. Since then, I've wanted to provide others with the same access to education that will help them reach their goals in life while enjoying the college experience.
Advice/Tips to Students
The best thing I could say to a student is to take advantage of the resources that the campus offers you. You are preparing to go out and compete in the world and you want to have as much information on your side as possible. I also say that students must hit the ground running; that may include getting involved with campus organizations, getting to know your instructors and academic advisor, researching your program field and spending additional time on campus getting help.

I really enjoyed my college career and want to help create a positive college experience for students. Seeing students develop confidence in their abilities in the classroom and as professionals in their field has always been exciting for me. I have always been interested in getting to know each student's individual story so I can best help them accomplish their educational and career goals.
Advice/Tips to Students
Become a college student, not just a person taking classes. Get involved with WCTC, your classmates and the Waukesha community. Make an impact on those around you. Find your strengths and do your best. When it comes to education, you will get out of it what you put into it.

I love working with students to help them become their best selves and to guide them in their journey towards getting a degree and/or a job they will really love. I started my higher education career in admissions counseling and really enjoyed it. I wanted to transition to academic advising as I wanted to be more involved on the academic side with students, and I wanted to extend the time I got to work with them.
Advice/Tips to Students
The best advice that I can give to students is to check out the job you want to do before you base your college career on it. It is so important to go out and do informational interviews, job shadowing, and to really research your career choice to make sure it will be a good fit.

There is direct relationship between one's level of education and quality of life. For many students, attaining a college degree can change their life, but such an accomplishment can change the lives of those around them as well. As an Academic Advisor, I am given the opportunity to participate in the life changing process of education and to support students as they work towards obtaining life goals. My goal as an Academic Advisor is to help students navigate the college experience, which at times can be stressful, but most importantly, I want to help build the bridge to their graduation.
Advice/Tips to Students
Never be afraid to ask for help! College is challenging and asking questions is part of the learning process. Get involved with student and professional groups, so that you can apply your learning and build a strong academic resume. Finally, remember to reflect on why you are here, what you hope to accomplish and use those reasons to build a success plan with your Advisor.

I was a first generation college student and had many challenges going through the experience. The support I received from advisors and instructors in college made a huge difference for my success. This lead to my passion for education and the opportunities it can open to all people, regardless of background. I enjoy working with students to help them through the process of achieving their goals and dreams. It is very rewarding to work with students who use their unique skills to create transformational change for themselves and families.
Advice/Tips to Students
Balancing school with everyday life can be very challenging. It is important to focus on your goals and celebrate successes. When you encounter challenges or successes, see your academic advisor to help guide you and provide appropriate resource information. Communication with instructors and other staff will be crucial to your success here and in life. Remember: "You (your character, skills, knowledge, experience, wisdom, beliefs, integrity, personal power) are your most valuable "asset" in life...so keep learning, improving, and becoming even more valuable to yourself and others."

As an academic advisor, I want to ensure students get a well-rounded advising experience as I help them navigate through the opportunities and challenges of fulfilling their education and career-related goals. When I was a freshman in college, faculty advising was the resource used by students. Although helpful, it did not encompass all of the information that a student needed in order to transition into college. As a first-generation college student with little support, I had a work-study job to help pay for some college costs. It was the work-study position as an admissions telecounselor that led me to transition into the field of academic advising.
Advice/Tips to Students
You are your own best advocate! You must take responsibility of your education for the outcome to be successful. Be proactive, utilize resources, accept personal accountability for your actions, and be sure to follow an educational plan that is realistic for you.

Title: | 2D and 3D Surface Texture Comparisons Using Autocorrelation Functions |
Published: | January 01, 2005 |
Abstract: | Autocorrelation and cross-correlation functions are proposed for 2D and 3D surface texture comparisons. At the maximum correlation point of the two correlated surface textures, there is a peak shown at the cross-correlation curve. It is proposed to generate a difference function at the maximum correlation point for evaluation of the difference between the two compared surface textures. Based on this method, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) bullet signature measurement system is developed for the bullet signature measurements of NIST standard bullets. |

Have I even made progress?
I just got done reading John Christy's great thread and feel like I have a new perspective to start again and try hard to reach my goals now.... Here's my history of weightlifting: 2006 -- the beginning: 135lbs 5ft 9 bench: 3x5x55lbs squat: 3x5x65lbs dead: 3x5x65lbs September 2010 -- the peak: 145lbs 5ft 9 bench: 3x5x195lbs (1RM 240lbs) squat: 3x5x255lbs (1RM 305lbs) dead: 3x5x285lbs (1RM 310lbs) (back injury due to job for the last 18months) so this is my starting point going forward below: March 2012: 135lbs 5ft 9 bench: 3x5x135lbs squat: 3x5x135lbs dead: 3x5x135lbs After the back injury, I am a little discouraged because I am looking back at what I personally see as pretty poor progress -- not from a strength standpoint, but a weight standpoint. 10lbs weight gain in 4 years is unacceptable. It seems my body's natural equilibrium is 135lbs...I want to be 165-170lbs -- That's where I want to be, but it seems my body doesn't want to respond. I think this is a fresh start for me here. I have lost weight and lost strength so I want a new regime (John Christy's thread takes care of this) and a new perspective on everything. Obviously the problem is diet related...not much to say here other than I need to eat more. That's about it... But I still don't understand why I previously have been able to gain that much strength with basically putting no body weight on whatsoever. What can I do to make BOTH progress better going forward? I have lost a lot of size in my back due to the injury, so I think I am partly not motivated because my back has fallen behind everything else (hence why my bench is of equal strength to my back right now from the gym yesterday!!). Any input on this? Last edited by backinbusiness; 03-02-2012 at 10:37 AM. |

Welcome to the forum.
First off, great job in getting to the levels you were at in 2010. One good thing is that climbing back up the mountain will be easier this time around. Quote:
I am assuming your primary goals are muscle building, since this is in the muscle building forum. I would say that really the only thing missing from the equation for you is the addition of some extra calories per day. This in combination with your work ethic will yield some very good progress. If you can get your bench, squat and deadlift to 300, 400 and 500 while getting your weight up to 165 to 185 I think you will be pleased with the result. One thing that can help us help you is if you could present more information on how you generally eat when you train...what your habits are, what types of foods you eat, when you eat, that sort of thing. Once we understand your patterns and preferences hopefully we can make some minor suggestions that will make a big difference.

Thanks for the reply.
Right before my peak, I was fighting to keep intake at 3000 calories per day. I find the problem is quantity...I cannot find (other than my shake below) enough dense food to meet the 3k/day that I attempted. I would usually fall into the 2600-2800 range (using fitday.com as the calculator). Clean foods, no junk. I find junk foods slow me down and make me feel less energetic. The majority of my calories would come from one shake every day at night...I usually do cup of oats, 2 cups milk, Myofusion protein, banana, peanut butter and olive oil...adds up to be ~1k calories. With my schedule, I find it hard to eat 5-6x a day...so I try 3x big meals and attempt to snack in between, but I struggle. I just find that every QUALITY meal is ~600 calories, so 1800 + the shake = 2800. I could definitely work on my breakfast...I usually just eat some cereal+milk/oats + OJ in the AM...that's the honest truth. Maybe I should get a shake ready to go every morning...

500-750 extra calories per day would probably go a long way. Here are my general recommendations for healthy calorie dense additions. Even a few of these would add a quality amount of calories.
--A big handful or two (or three) of almonds per day. --Some butter on your veggies. A little goes a long way and adds plenty of calories. Plus butter is packed with good nutrition. --Whole milk instead of what you are drinking now...if you're not drinking whole milk. --Add 2 dollops of sour cream to every possible meal. --Add cheese to every possible meal. --Rotate in plenty of beef each week. --Add a little heavy cream to your shake. --Buy fewer lean cuts of meat. --Bacon strips. Bacon strips. Bacon strips. Seriously though, most grocery stores sell bacon bits and pieces in 3 to 5 pound bags, and these are great additions to many meals. --Add a dollop or two of mascarpone to your shake. It hides well, is used in desserts, and packs a lot of calories. --Natural sausage, skin and organ meat.

Looks like I'm going shopping today!
Thanks for the input. What should I goal myself at each month to get back to where I was? Is a year realistic to get back to where I used to be? I just want to know so I have a track to follow. |

Definite signs of progress BiB and take it as a good sign you're getting stronger at a lean bodyweight, you don't need to be 200lbs+ to be physically impressive so don't be in any rush to gain weight.
Someone recently made the comment to me that a calorie surplus of 100 or 1000 will both be fine, as long as you are indeed getting that surplus. The latter will of course result in more weight gain but it may not all be muscle. So again don't be in any major rush, I would look for as slow as 1lbs a week for a few months then perhaps more like 1lb every 2 weeks. Lastly with those numbers at that bodyweight, you may well have some decent Powerlifting potential |

We had this discussion with Casey in his forum regarding pressing strength and diet.
It seems that folks loose a good amount of pressing strength during diet. But other lifts like pulling (deads,rows) are less effected or even icreased. We have found no idea why this is the case. But it sucks. |

Here is my final workout regime and goals:
Goals by end of 2012: Bodyweight: 160lbs Bench: 3x6 195lbs Deadlift: 3x6 285lbs Squat: 3x6 225lbs 3200 calories per day. Routine: 2 day split Workout A: Situps: 1 x 12 Squat: 3 x 6-12 Back Extension: 1 x 15 Bench Press: 3 x 6-12 Pull Down's: 3 x 12 Calf Raises: 1 x 12 Static Grip: 1 x 60sec Workout B: Side Bends: 1 x 12 Deadlift: 3 x 6-12 Military Press: 3 x 6-12 Barbell Curls: 3 x 6-12 Closegrip Bench: 3 x 6-12 Wrist Curls: 1 x 15 Did workout A last Thursday 3/1/12 3/6/12 Workout B weigh in 135lbs SB: BW 1x12 Dead: 135lbs warmup 3x6 185lbs Military press: 2x8 75lbs, 1x6 75lbs BB Curls: 3x8 40lbs Closegrip Bench: 3x8 115lbs Wrist curls: 1x15 15lbs ------ After some good stretching today for workout B I managed to easily put up 3 sets of 6x185lbs on deadlift so felt good...lower back seems to be fully healed and it didn't feel uneasy at all. My military press is awful though -- 3x8 75lbs. Felt like it was more a lack of supporting muscles than strength...just gotta keep at it although the plates on each side make me look pretty pathetic!!! The scoops of ice cream in the shake seem to be working good. It doesn't feel heavier, but its adding 300 calories each shake, so hopefully that helps.

Since it's a circle, the distance from the centre to any point will be the same.
The circle equation is Pythagoras' theorem applied to all points (x, y) on the circumference and the centre (2, -3).
Use the 2 given points to find "a"
therefore solve for
as "Prove It" showed.
Alternatively, if you use the form
then the centre is
In solving these, and are eliminated, to give
Given "a", you can then calculate the radiusAnd how would you find the radius too?
Thanks you guys! I get it now Just a quick thought though, without knowing what a is, could you have found the radius by taking the x coordinate from both points and taking the y coordinate from both points?
I still get and so (Or is this not legal since I'm using all 3 points at the same time?)
No, it doesn't work,
but you could get marked correctly in a test if the teacher did not check your work!
or if you did not state that that is what you were doing!
It would probably have been assumed that since you found the value of "a"
you were now using the point (1,a)=(1,3)
but to use y from one point and x from another point is incorrect....
refers to the horizontal and vertical co-ordinates of any "specific"
point on the circumference of the circle.
For example, if a circle circumference contains the points (4,3) and (0,5)
then it doesn't follow that it contains the point (4,5).
The other one is the "multiplied out" version of
where the centre co-ordinates are labelled instead of
Then, both sides being equal, they are subtracted...
so the "c" will be
That version is often employed to find centre co-ordinates and radius
by algebraic solving of simultaneous equations.
It's just a convention though. No different to the first method.

WAVERLY TWP. - Waverly Township's wastewater treatment facility upgrade is progressing. The township's engineer, Ned Slocum, attended the May 13 meeting to review requirements and timelines with the Board of Supervisors. The permit to move forward has been issued by the DEP with several conditions attached. Upon completion and placement of the new filtration system, DEP must be notified and have a certification completed by an engineer. Advertisements to bid will be published and the bidding will open June 19. A meeting will be held May 29 to answer any questions contractors may have and tour the facility.
A motion was passed for a notice of award, contractual agreement and notice to proceed. Slocum also asked if the Supervisors would authorize to execute any and all documents pertaining to the project to begin as soon as possible. At the June 24 township meeting engineers will have a recommendation. A second motion was passed to authorize engineers and the township solicitor, Atty. Andrew Hailstone, to review the bids for completion and compliance; the motion was passed.
A meeting was held about the Earned Income Tax collection. Information is being gathered about how to address concerns regarding state regulations.
Township manager Bill White met with PennPrime representatives at the municipal building to allow them to audit safety standards. At last month's meeting the problem was raised as to whether two people should be checking the pumping stations simultaneously for safety reasons. The two pumping stations are checked once per day and normally there is only one person there at the time they need to be checked. White explained the dilemma and was told the stations are permit- exempt; one person is acceptable. A motion was passed to adopt the confined space entry policy as is.

Instead of tallying which teams the Nuggets are fighting to acquire perimeter help, it might be faster to count which teams they aren't.
Agents of several shooting guards and swingmen - all of whose clients have yet to make their first All-Star Game - make it sound like NBA general managers are lining up around the block to talk to them.
"It seems like everybody in the league has interest," Mark Bartelstein, agent for Los Angeles Clippers small forward Bobby Simmons, said Saturday.
He estimated 15 to 20 teams contacted him in free agency's first two days, including the Nuggets more than once. Andy Miller called Denver a legitimate contender among the nine teams lining up for the services of his client, Sacramento's Cuttino Mobley. Agent Tony Dutt said Denver was not one of the nine teams to call about his client, Seattle free-agent combo guard Antonio Daniels.
"There's a lot of competition out there," Denver general manager Kiki Vandeweghe said, pointing to teams' desire to speed up the game. "Outside shooting and 3-pointers have become a big deal. Shooting forwards, all that's important."
Vandeweghe said Saturday afternoon his team had no visits set up, and guessed little would happen among most free-agent swingmen until most of the biggest names - Ray Allen, Michael Redd, Larry Hughes and Joe Johnson - know their destinations.
Denver could take a run at one of those four, but is hamstrung by a lack of salary cap space.
The 6-foot-6 Simmons was one of the NBA's most improved players last season, averaging 16.4 points.The midlevel exception should be about $5 million, but Bartelstein said, "I think he's clearly going to get offered much more than that."
At 6-4, Mobley averaged 17.2 points and ranked third in the NBA in 3-point percentage (.439) for the Kings and Orlando last season. Miller said Mobley won't need to visit Denver because he is familiar with its front office and coaching staff.
"We had an initial conversation, and there is interest on both sides," Miller said.
Agent Calvin Andrews said Saturday the Nuggets have not contacted him regarding client Kareem Rush, a free-agent shooting guard with Charlotte. Raja Bell crossed himself off the Nuggets' list Friday after he agreed to leave Utah to sign with Phoenix.
Bell's departure to Phoenix could give Denver a better shot at landing Dallas swingman Michael Finley, if he is waived through a new amnesty rule, as expected. The Mavericks could save about $80 million over the next three seasons by waiving Finley, helped by a rule in the new collective bargaining agreement that allows a team to waive one player to lessen its luxury tax.
The Nuggets and Chicago are expected to have interest in Finley. Before coming to Denver in August 2001, Vandeweghe developed a bond with Finley while working in Dallas.
Asked how Finley was handling his uncertain situation, his agent, Henry Thomas, said: "Like a professional. He got introduced to the business his second year in the league when he was traded to Dallas from Phoenix."
The 6-7 Finley averaged 15.7 points and hit 40.7 percent of his 3-pointers last season. Complicating the situation for any suitor is the fact that, according to Thomas, Dallas has no timetable to make a decision on Finley.
"We don't know yet what they'll do," Thomas said.
Vandeweghe said he couldn't wait endlessly for an amnesty player.
"You're going to have some choices to make," Vandeweghe said. "You could be letting guys go by waiting for people that you might not get."
Agent Rob Pelinka said Friday the Nuggets have contacted him about Miami guard Keyon Dooling. The 6-3, 190-pounder became a free agent Friday after he opted out of a contract that would have paid him $807,546 next season. Dooling played at Missouri with Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke's son, Josh, and played for the Clippers with current Nuggets Andre Miller and Earl Boykins.
Agent Bill Duffy said he had been playing phone tag with Vandeweghe regarding client Marko Jaric, a free-agent combo guard with the Clippers. Duffy said about 10 teams have expressed interest in the versatile 6-7, 217-pounder, and that Denver could be a good place for him.
"I think it would be a good fit," Duffy said. "He can play off the ball. He can shoot. He's tall. (Nuggets coach) George Karl likes him. He's a good player."

Bishop Salvatore Cordileone has said that the gay marriage debate is not about equality under the law.
Cordileone, an outspoken opponent of gay nuptials who in 2008 backed passage of Proposition 8, California's ban, was recently installed as the leader of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. He is also the chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' (USCCB) Subcommittee for the Promotion and Defense of Marriage.
In a blog post at the USCCB's website to promote the church's understanding of marriage, Marriage Unique for a Reason, Cordileone criticized President Barack Obama's inclusion of marriage equality in his inaugural address.
Obama cited Stonewall, the birthplace of the gay rights movement, and stated that "if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."
"I honor the president's concern for the equal dignity of every human being, including those that experience same-sex attraction, who like everyone else, must be protected against any and all violence and hatred," Cordileone said.
"But the marriage debate is not about equality under the law, but rather the very meaning of marriage. Marriage is the only institution that unites children with their mothers and fathers."
"Protecting this understanding of marriage is not discrimination nor is it some kind of pronouncement on how adults live out their intimate relationships; it is standing for the common good," he added.
(Related: Salvatore Cordileone: Gay marriage wins are a call to "defend marriage.")

Fox River Retreat

Excellent experience. Plenty of room inside and outside property. It was nice and secluded, but close enough to town if we needed to pick up anything. We had such a great time. We will definitely be back!

Great place to relax by in the country
August 5, 2014
The house was charming and provided for all of our needs. We loved the outdoor grill by the picnic table. We also utilized the fire ring by the river each night. It was a great place to relax in the country with friends. We all agreed that we would stay here again!

Perfect for a larger family
July 26, 2014
We had a great time staying at this house. We used it as a "home base" while we traveled around the area and into the Dells for attractions. We also stopped at various Amish shops/homes nearby and enjoyed some Amish bakery treats - yum! (Note that the Amish businesses are closed on Thursdays.) This house was perfect for our needs and fit our larger family, which is really difficult to find economical accommodations near the Dells. We enjoyed being away from really close neighbors and had much more room than the normal hotel-type of setting and was a great value for us. Our kids loved the pool table and various games in the basement and we enjoyed having a full kitchen and living room, along with a nice bathroom and 3 bedrooms, along with a sleeper sofa in the living room providing even more sleeping space. The house is older, but kept nice and some updates have been made (appliances, etc.)... and ironically, it matched much of the same style as our own farm house at home (built in the 1960s)... right down to the same style of cupboards, windows, doors, flooring, etc. and was set up very similar to our own floor plan. We also enjoyed the fact that the drawers and cupboards were stocked with everyday supplies and items you might need. One bedroom even had a closet full of board games that the kids could play, and the living room had several vcr tapes and a working vcr for watching movies. The farm is quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed seeing deer and turkey right outside the windows in the early mornings. The house uses fresh well water, so the water pressure is not very high, but this did not affect us since we are used to that (we have well water, too). :) Overall, this was a very good value to us and we enjoyed not feeling cooped up in a hotel room. We were just far enough away from town that it was quiet, but close enough that we could get where we needed to go within 30 minutes or so. If you're looking for a clean, quiet, spacious place to stay, you won't be disappointed!

Cozy home on quiet, serene property
October 26, 2013
Our stay at this property was just what me and my friends needed; peace and quiet, relaxation, and to commune with nature. The house is charming and spacious without being cavernous. It is clean, well stocked, comfortable, and located on a beautiful piece of property, much of which is wooded and untouched. A photographer of any level won't lack subject matter to capture in their lens. If you're looking to relax in a serene setting with the comforts of home, minus the distractions, and for an affordable price, this is the place for you. Although we didn't have opportunity to meet the owner, Jim, I did speak with him on the telephone and he couldn't be nicer or more polite. A+ all around. Thanks, Jim!

Clean and specious
October 15, 2013
We rented house with our 12 year old son and his friend. House was very clean and had everything you need (all spices, coffee, toiletries etc.). Just bring food and you set up for nice time. Boys enjoyed a basket ball hoop, and all of us played pool. Night time was reserved for smores by the river and game (and there are a lot of them). Nice time without distraction of TV or computers. We hope John doesn't mind us picking apples ( delicious). Maybe add a hot tub behind house but very specious and clean house. We hope to go back this winter again
Owner's reply:
Velida, thanks for the kind words. We're glad you and the boys enjoyed your time at the retreat. Those apples are good. My Grandma made lots of pies from the apples on those trees and my grand parents also use to have cider made from the apples. Look forward to seeing you again this winter.

Nice, out-of-the-way place to stay
August 7, 2013
My family and I stayed there for a week in July. It was a "base-camp" for us as we traveled around central Wisconsin. It was comfortable for the 5 of us, and everything worked. It is a well-maintained, well-stocked old farm house. I would recommend it anyone, and would not hesitate to stay there again,

Unexpectedly perfect.
June 8, 2013
So we rented the place for a bachelor party crash pad and weren't expecting much. It turns out the place was huge and clean and stocked. The yard was huge and the fire pit was a great addtion. We cooked out every night and made breakfast every morning. I'd stay there myself in the future or with any number of folks. It was just the right distance from civilization.

Lovely quiet retreat
April 5, 2013
This property is beautiful and the house very nice. It was just what we were looking for! Very quiet and close to many local attractions. I will absolutely be renting it again soon. Even in cooler weather there is plenty to keep you occupied.
Owner's reply:
Thank you for the very kind comments Kim. There really is something to do year around. Skiing or snowmobiling in the winter. Fishing opportunities and the Amish attractions year around. And during the summer there are all the attractions at the Wisconsin Dells, golfing or just sitting back and enjoy the peace and quiet available at the retreat. One of my favorite things is to just sit back and enjoy a bonfire along the river at night, any time of the year.

Lovely Place
December 28, 2012
Had a very lovely time at the Fox River Retreat. Saw deer and lots of birds on site. Nestled in a beautiful part of the state. Close to the Dells. Near a lot of quaint Amish farms and shops. Very close to town and shopping. Great fully equipped kitchen. Loved the peace and quiet. Neat trails to walk. The pool table and basketball game in the basement- great fun. The book of info provided by Jim was very helpful. Thanks Jim for everything.

This is your place! Easy to find. Quaint country house, very clean and it has everything you need. The yard and property are amazing! We saw turkey and deer on one of our walks. Pardeeville and Portage are within a convenient distance. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will definitely be back!

Country home with flowing river by Wisconsin Dells
March 25, 2012
This property was a perfect gem, and all discussions via e-mail with the owner were thorough and complete. I was told everything necessary before my arrival so there weren't any surprises. There was even a wonderful book at my disposal (put together by the owner) to become familiar with restaurants and places of interest in the area. The house was neat, clean, and very comfortable with lots of extra touches. Watching Amish buggies traveling past on the road daily was pretty neat, and the Fox River on the property is clear enough to view the fish below. What a peaceful respite and just a lovely place for a vacation in the country. I'm ready for a return trip already!

A fantastic place to relax!

Our family enjoyed a wonderful two weeks at Fox River Retreat! The home is very well stocked with everything you need and they provided detailed information on activities, tourist attractions, shopping, and even maps for our boys to run thier cross country miles! We especially enjoyed the Disney movie collection, the pool table in the basement, and the view from the yard. We also used many of the brochures and coupons provided. Thanks for a wonderful vacation! The Greenwood Family

Amazing weekend getaway!

Spotless house, great accomodations, quiet and secluded. We all had a great time hiking, cooking out and the accomodations were perfect for all four of us. The property this house is on was beautiful. The house was cute, cozy, and well kept. We also had a great time hanging out in the basement with the pool table and games. Communication with the owner was excellent and we couldn't be happier. Will definitely be back! Can't beat the price for everything you get either! Thanks so much for a relaxing and fun weekend getaway.

mid winter get-away
February 15, 2011
It was a great place to meet our daughter's family.(Halfway between Chicago and NW Wisconsin) We enjoyed snow shoeing, cross country skiing on the property. The down hill skiing at Cascade Mountain was exceptional. Skiing there on Friday was less busy than during the weekend. We would recommend it to any of our friends as a place to relax and enjoy the area.

Quite a bargain!

This place was well worth the price. In fact, I almost didn't rent it because it appeared so cheap. BUT - it was clean, large, and very comfortable. It sits on a beautiful piece of land and has all the amenities. The only downside to the rental were the mattresses - they were a bit soft, but not horrible.

Beautiful Trip!
September 14, 2010
This was such a beautiful weekend. We had 6 adults in the home and we had plenty of space. The home was very clean and organized and the property was breathtaking. We had a great time exploring on the trails, and having camp fires at night. It was extremely peaceful feeling like you were way up north and in reality only being a short drive from Madison. We ventured around to near by towns and visited a few flea markets, and enjoyed cooking out and gazing at the stars at night. The only negative's we had about the property was that the water pressure was very weak (not that big of a deal), and the beds were pretty uncomfortable and you could feel all of the springs as you were sleeping. But other than that I would totally recommend this property and we look forward to going back in the near future!!

We love the feel of the home is was a country rustic feel. It was absolutely beautiful there. If you like peace and quiet this is the perfect place.Our only thing was we didn't care for was the basement ,it wasn't ideal but we didn't need to be down there a lot so it was ok.

Nice Retreat - Highly Recommended!
July 5, 2010
We just got back today from staying at the place for the whole 4th of July Weekend...When I made a reservation, I was little skeptical. But, once we got there, we found it exactly what the owner has described in this page...Away from the city crowd in a country side, very quiet and peaceful, and completely private. Huge yard with picnic table, grill, can fit 10-15 vehicles easily. Inside of the house was furnished with everything you need with big kitchen and refrigerator. The basement has a nice pool table and dart-board. House is nicely decorated and clean...I wish the house had more than one bathroom, but worked out fine for seven of us. So overall great experience, and I definitely recommend to anyone who loves being in a peaceful, completely private, and away from the city...By the way, the stars looked amazing during the night away from the light-pollution we have in cities...Will definitely come back again.

Amazing property
June 7, 2010
I recently rented out your vacation home in Wisconsin, and might I add, it was amazing: the property, the view, everything. We enjoyed our stay so much in fact, we are planning another visit, hopefully for a longer period of time.
September 2014 -- We had an excellent stay at your home! It is so peaceful and quiet here. We did notice a bit of water on the bathroom floor after being gone a few hours. The faucet was off, so perhaps there is a small leak in the vanity? Our family had a wonderful time! We hope to be back again next year!

October 2014 -- What a beautiful place! We enjoyed our stay so much. Thank you! We were lucky enough to get a few grapes and they were yummy and sweet. Love the candles everywhere, and we listened to your CD several times. The pool table came in handy on a rainy Saturday.

We really hope the retreat is there to enjoy for a long, long time. We were blown away with how nice the grounds are kept. The house is also a perfect place and very relaxing.
Thanks again,

Hello Jim,
I hope all is well with you. I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our getaway at your house rental and will definitely be revisiting and have recommended it to friends and family, thanks again.

September 2011 - We enjoyed our stay at the retreat, so beautiful and peaceful! It was exactly what we were looking for. On suggestion, the water pressure was quite weak, anyway to improve on that? A strong shower would be great for a weekend ski stay. Other than that, loved the place and we thought the hospitality was great! Tracy M, Illinois
August 2011 -- The cabin was great, we really enjoyed ourselves. We will be back next year. Tasia M., Illinois
September 2011 -- Very enjoyable place to stay. Something for everyone. The guys enjoyed the games in the basement. Enjoyed the fire pit. Chuck & Linda B., Wisconsin
August, 2009 -- "We had a wonderful stay here! The farm and house are just beautiful and peaceful. Ed & Ann, Michigan
June 9, 2011 -- We found everything to be amazing. Better than expected. Really looking forward to our August vacation to spend more time. We hiked the trail 2 times. Beautiful. Are there fish in one of those lakes?
We will definetly look at this as our permanent place to stay instead of a hotel in our numerous trips to Wisconsin.
So, thank you for making this place available. All comments are very positive. So we are not the only ones.
Jerry and Linda B.
March 2011 -- We had a great time over our week long stay. This was our first vacation rental and we couldn't have been more pleased. We had a ton of fun with the pool table in the basement and the house was SO roomy! Next time we are planning a stay in the area we will be sure to give you a call. Thanks for everything! Heather & Christian
July, 2010 -- "We really enjoyed the retreat, we found everything we could possibly need. Thanks so much for the maps. I think we visited every Amish store open. The men that came to use the phone were very courteous and we enjoyed visiting with them. We highly recommend your retreat to everyone." -- Dona/Evelyn
Dec., 2010 -- "Everything we needed was here. Thanks for thinking of everything. Happy New Year. We'll be back." -- Jake
