Womens Microchill Zip Top
Fantastic quality fleece at a great price makes this a great value purchase to keep the chill out. Add the Microchill as a key item to your winter kit list; whether you're skiing, walking in the hills or taking your dog out, the Microchill will be that much needed mid baselayer to keep you warm. The Microchill incorporates a high cut collar for when the thermometer drops, and a long front zipper for venting options when the sun comes out to play. This lightweight fleece traps a lot of heat for your money. Wear it against the skin for sub-zero alpine starts in the Alps this summer, or over a thin base layer on chilly days.

|Superb purchase
|Reviewed By Alison, 19 Apr 2014
Another excellent purchase from Cotswold ! This good quality fleece is not only light-weight but as its name suggests it is hard wearing too. I now have 3 of these...the other two have retained their warmth, colour and shape after being washed many times. It is effective as part of a layering system and in my experience this resilient garment remains odour-free after several days of continual wear whilst trekking and camping. A perfect buy !
|Great hard-wearing jacket
|Reviewed By Katharine, 15 Mar 2014
This is a great, hard wearing jacket that washes easily and well. Initially, I bought the jacket in a lovely red. I was delighted with the product and now have five, in different colours. They fit perfectly and are the exact length I need. Great all round coat, well worth a buy
|Stylish top
|Reviewed By Shelley, 17 Feb 2014
A lovely fleece that washes well. Unlike other reviews I found that the sleeves fitted perfectly and I bought my normal size (10). The only negative is that I found it a bit short in the body length. Great choice of colours.
|A warm & cosy fleece in great colours
|Reviewed By Jacqueline, 06 Sep 2013
I bought this fleece in vibrant purple before going to the Outer Hebrides. This fleece is fantastic quality, and it is much warmer than my other (cheaper brand) one. It is windproof which was great as there was always a cold wind in the Outer Hebrides. In fact, hardly took it off, mostly just to wash it and a very short time later it would be dry already! It's no surprise that I wear this brilliant fleece at home all the time as well :o)
|Perfect fleect top for me!
|Reviewed By June, 03 May 2013
I was delighted to get this fleece top at such a great price. I bought the Skybox colour which is just lovely. The fabric is very light but very cosy. It is so soft I can wear it next to my skin but could also fit a light baselayer underneath. Although I am petite (size 8 and 5ft 3in) I don't have a problem with the arm length that other reviewers have had. I bought in the shop and they didn't have the full range of colours that are on the website - just off to see what other colour(s) I would like!! ;-)
|Good quality fleece - great colours!
|Reviewed By Lavinia, 15 Apr 2013
I now have four of these in different colours. They are easy to wear, wash and dry very well (I use the well known outdoor clothing wash - and they come out as good as new every time). They are a good fit if you're larger in the chest but smaller round the waist. On walks, they keep me warm and are easy to vent due to the zip.
|Great top
|Reviewed By Sally, 25 Feb 2013
Sleeves are long but not too long. I'm standard size 12 and it fits perfectly. Not too tight on arms, can get a long sleeved base layer underneath.
|Great all purpose top
|Reviewed By Kate, 15 Dec 2012
I'm really pleased with my top. It's really warm and a great fit. the sleeves are long but I just rolled the cuffs back and it's no problem.
|Stylish and functional
|Reviewed By Susan, 10 Dec 2012
good fitted shape with attractive over stitching of seams,
|Lovely and warm but doesn't fit well
|Reviewed By Kate, 06 Dec 2012
Loved the colour of this top so couldn't resist price drop, but like another reviewer I had to buy Large as the arms were too tight on Medium - I'm 5'3", normally size 12 or medium. The arms are several inches too long and I have to tuck them up. Also can't wear anything other than a sleeveless top underneath, but perhaps you're not supposed to. If fitted better would buy more.
|Good price and soft
|Reviewed By m, 02 Dec 2012
Very good value for £25. Size is on the small side. I am a XS on North face similar top but needed a S on this one.
|Great Value
|Reviewed By Angie, 07 Nov 2012
Great value - £25. Very comfortable and soft around the neck. Good fit and body length. Range of colours available. Purchased as a mid layer for winter cycling.
|Good value top

Bought this great top for my wife, good for travelling, good value also at half price £25.00
|attractive & comfortable lightweight top
|Reviewed By Anne, 04 Oct 2012
This great little top is perfect for travelling. It is lightweight,comfortable, deliciously warm and such a gorgeous colour. It's a fantastic price too - a real bargain.
|Fantastic quality fleece at a great price
|Reviewed By Laura, 26 Sep 2012
This is a great fleece at a brilliant price. The quality and fit are excellent. The length in the body is particularly good if you are wearing it with a rucksack as it is less likely to ride up. I bought one from the shop the other day and have just ordered two more online.
|Great Top
|Reviewed By Anne, 25 Sep 2012
Excellent value, very comfortable and very soft to the touch, with a good body length. Liked the choice of colours available.
|Reviewed By Bogdan, 20 Sep 2012
Just bought this fleece few days ago as a present for my girlfriend and she loved it. Regarding the size, it is as it should be, maybe just a little bit on the small side. It is also very comfortable, lightweight and quite small when packed.
|Good fit comfy top
|Reviewed By Flora, 24 Aug 2012
Like it a lot, lightweight, comfy, nice feel to the material.
|Great quality fabric but didn't fit well.
|Reviewed By stewart, 19 Aug 2012
I bought this in store on sale in Spring 2012, reduced from £50 to £30. I am a size 10/12 and tried on a size M but found it to be too tight in the arms. Rushed for time, I quickly tried on & bought size L. I now regret it, as this size is too baggy from the chest downwards. I still wear it for hillwalking though, and find that the fabric is great quality & definitely keeps the chill out on the windy heights. A great value buy, but try it on first!
|Lovely styling and warm fleece top
|Reviewed By Tania, 31 Jul 2012
I decided to take 'advantage' of the half price offer on these fleeces (one for me and a navy one for my husband). Really nice weight, very soft, and nice styling particularly on the ladies version which is shaped nicely. I wasn't sure which size to order and also difficult to choose which colour as there are so many lovely colours to choose from! I ordered the Jewel and Skybox in a 10 and 12. I could be either size depending on shop / garment, but generally am a 10 more often. In this top I needed a 12 if that helps anyone else out! The Jewel (teal type colour) is gorgeous, and the Skybox which I kept due to the size, is a striking turquoise. I haven't washed this yet, but expect it to perform as other fleeces - wash, dry quickly, no iron. Very pleased and highly recommend especially at a reduced price!
|Great for taller women
|Reviewed By Helen, 28 Apr 2012
Great light weight fleece that is warm and looks good. I got it two colours while it was half-price and think its great value.
|Absolutely fabulous!
|Reviewed By Val, 27 Dec 2011
I love this top so much I now have three. Its very light, soft and very warm and I wear them a lot. I bought my partner the men's version for his birthday so we now have five between us! Bought for half price so great value for money.
|Fantastic, attractive and practical micro fleece
|Reviewed By Val, 29 Oct 2011
Heading of to the Lakes for a few days in October, I wanted a warm fleece that I could wear as a layer with t shirt and waterproof as my son was determined to take me up Skarfell Pike. Being a typical girl I wanted it to look great too. The Mountain Hardwear Microchill Zip T was perfect. It was very practical keeping me really warm when the temperatures dropped, not at all bulky which was great when walking and most important of all, I felt great in it! I lt was extremely soft, the shape is flattering and the colour blue is stunning! A little more expensive than I would usually pay, but well worth the money.
|Fantastic mid layer
|Reviewed By Rebecca, 16 Mar 2011
I bought 2 of these (cerise and blue) before going snowboarding in France, proved to be a brilliant mid layer. Its lightweight but so warm and the fit is lovely, not too tight or too loose, i am quite short at 5'3" and i found the length perfect for me. Really flattering and great colours.

DMA Portland Reviews Entrepreneurship
DMA Portland (located in Tigard, OR) is one of the fastest growing marketing companies in the the Pacific Northwest. They attribute a lot of their results due to their hiring methods. You see, they don't hire employees. They hire entrepreneurs. The only thing is - these entrepreneurs that they hire haven't actually created anything yet.
That's right. No products. No services. No companies.
What makes them entrepreneurs? Nothing really, except for their characteristics. In this post, we will review what has made DMA Portland so successful with their processes and expansion.
DMA Portland Oregon
First off, don't even try to find out what "D.M.A." means. No one knows for sure. Just focus on what's important here...the company's expansion from very humble beginnings in Tigard, Oregon.
Getting ahead of the competition is the name of the game. It doesn't matter where you came from, its about where you're going. In order to get ahead of the rest, you have to do things differently.
The people that DMA Portland Oregon hires are a little 'different' than other people. If you want your company to do things a little differently, you hire people who are willing to do the same.
Employees don't color outside the lines. Entrepreneurs do. In fact, they draw up their own pictures so that they don't have to follow the same old drawing that everyone else has. They are creative and they are some of the hardest working people you will ever meet.
DMA Portland started with five staff members a few years ago. They now have expanded into California and employ over fifty people nation-wide. They hire people who want to get ahead, not NOT get fired. That's the difference.
To view more information on DMA Portland hiring standards, be sure to visit their weebly page for more information. Once there, you'll see why they only hire top talent for their marketing force.
DMA Portland Reviews Hiring Standards for Marketing
In order to serve their clients with the utmost integrity and professionalism, DMA Portland hires the best of the best. Here's what they look for.
Communication skills
Positive attitude
Desire to take on new responsibilities
Desire for person and professional development
Management at DMA Portland reviews candidates' resumes based on these characteristics. Then, after an they are invited in for an interview, a person may show their true colors. In marketing, its not about how much you can follow directions. It's more about how much you want to learn and your dedication to get there.
If you follow the hiring requirements of what DMA Portland has, you will see your company grow beyond belief. You will not have to manage people who don't need managed. You will save yourself a lot of stress and heartache if you do this.
If you don't, you may continue to see declining profits in your marketing campaigns and decreased results for your clients. You may even find yourself out of business if you continue to hire people who do not have an entrepreneurial spirit. Be sure that you check out all of your job candidates thoroughly before you hire them for your marketing team. Just like DMA Portland does.
Sales Tips from Veritas Inc Atlanta
Copying what other successful marketing and sales companies are doing is a great way to succeed. Veritas Inc in Atlanta, Georgia is doing some great things that we can do as well. It takes a lot of effort to get a product or service off the ground and into the hands of consumers. So, why not just do what other successful companies are doing??
Veritas Inc: 3715 Northside Pkwy #400, Atlanta, GA 30327 (404) 869-0015
In this short article, we will look at what the direct sales company, Veritas Inc has been doing in Atlanta, Georgia to make it happen for their clients and what we can do that is similar for our own companies. In other words, we'll figure out what we can steal from them to enhance our sales and advertising as well.
Understanding what a makes a customer want to buy something is crucial. If you don't understand the nature of this, you are doomed. Folks love to buy things. They love looking at ads in magazines and walking through shopping malls. However, a person never likes to be SOLD something.
The marketing company in Atlanta, Veritas Inc, has really figured out how to sell to people without making them feel like they are being sold.
Why Should I Care About Veritas Inc?
Well, technically you shouldn't. However, you should care about the way that they are conducting business all over the Atlanta area. Veritas means 'truth.' So, I suppose that's why the company named itself this. The employees of Veritas Inc Atlanta go out and meet with customers face to face and do not believe in false advertising. They believe that in-person methods to gaining new customers builds more trust than some really cool television commercial.
Just think about it for a minute. How many times have you ever bought anything directly from a television commercial like paid programming? The truth is, t.v. ads do wonders with branding, but not a lot with actual sales numbers.
So, no you shouldn't necessarily care about Veritas Inc..but you have to understand that what they are doing in Atlanta is definitely working. In this next section we'll look at how they manage to create sales on the spot without customers feeling like they are being sold to.
Watch this short clip from Veritas:
Selling like Veritas Inc Atlanta
According to Veritas, Inc. Atlanta, the cornerstone of any successful sales campaigns begins with identifying a customer's needs. Really figuring out what the customer wants or likes in a particular service or product is critical. During your sales pitch, be sure to ask plenty of questions to identify the person's 'hot spots.' Don't ask too many so that you are viewed as 'annoying,' but enough to get a general 'feel' for the customers wants.
After you have identified what a person is looking for, figure out how your product or service can suit that person's needs specifically. Don't sell, educate. Tell them about previous success stories of other customers. Tell them about the benefits and features, but don't try to sell the product at this point. Sell the sizzle - not the steak.
Veritas Inc loves this part of the sales pitch. They tend to get really creative and as any sales professional knows, you are in fact selling yourself rather than selling a product. For more information on how this company is doing this specifically, be sure to visit this page from Veritas Incorporated: youtube.com/user/VeritasIncatlanta.
After you have really juiced up the service or product that you intend to sell to your prospective customer, its now time to ask for their business. Just recap exactly what you have just told them. Then give them a couple of options for purchasing. Then ask one more question..."Would you like to be billed or would you like to pay for this with a credit card?"
Don't ask them if they are interested. Don't say that you will come back to check on them next week. If you aren't sure of yourself, how can they be sure of you? For instance, if someone told me that a gas station down the street was selling gas for two bucks, but then asked me if I was interested in getting some - I would be very hesitant. Why would they ask me that? Is there something wrong with the gas? DON'T DO THAT! Just assume that a person is interested...because they should be! Just ask them how they want to pay.
If you follow this general sales outline established by Veritas Inc, you will see some major shifts in your mentality towards sales in general. Furthermore, you will see a large influx of customers! Both are a win-win I think.
Be sure to follow Bamboo Sun Business Blog for more updates from the leading sales and marketing companies in the nation - like this one about Veritas Inc Atlanta!

Okay, I'm performing As Long As You're Mine with my friend for a duet unit in one of my Musical Theatre classes and I have some questions regarding Fiyero's part of the song:
1) Should the G's be belted? (i.e. maybe i'm brainless...... somehow i've fallen...etc.)
2) Use Mix or Head Voice on the "us as a pair"
3) to riff or not to riff? my final question.
Thanks, this is much appreciated.

Lance Lynn allowed two runs in seven innings, Matt Holliday homered and Carlos Beltran stole home Sunday as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated Miami 3-2 to complete a three-game sweep --their first at home this season.
How it went
Holliday walloped his 12th home run of the season in the first, a 420-foot drive to center against Jose Fernandez (5-5), to give the Cardinals a 1-0 lead. Adeiny Hechavarria's RBI single in the second tied the game at 1. Allen Craig had a sacrifice fly to put St. Louis ahead 2-1 in the second, and Beltran was credited with a steal of home later in the inning as Holliday was caught in a rundown between first and second. Jeff Mathis' RBI bunt single brought Florida within 3-2 in the fourth.
By the numbers
Edward Mujica pitched the ninth for his 23rd save in 24 opportunities. ... Lynn (11-3) walked one and struck out seven, victimizing Giancarlo Stanton three times. ... Holliday has grounded into 22 double plays.

Jsnweitzel, is there a Motorola Input apk for 4.2?
Uh oh. Can't receive phone calls. Phone rings but screen does not activate. Hitting power button brings up the lock screen. Unlocking it brings to black screen. Phone just keeps ringing. Eventually a "phone has stopped working" message pops up. Hitting wait brings back to black screen. Hitting force close brings back to home screen but phone keeps ringing and will not stop until I hard reboot the phone. I can make a call just fine. Just can't receive one. Anybody else have this happen?
On a positive note mms seemed to work OK using GoSMS.

Ristolainen was the 8th overall prospect in TSN's prospect rankings. Here's TSN's Craig Button with analysis on Ristolainen.
"Rasmus is a player who takes the initiative. He plays with a confidence and assuredness in his game that allows him to make an impact. He has good offensive skills with an excellent shot and he jumps into the attack and even initiates the attack if he feels it's necessary. He will play physical and is a big man whom if he makes contact, you are fully aware of as an opponent. He doesn't get rattled and his composure should not be mistaken for any type of 'laissez-faire' attitude because when the game becomes challenging and the moments important, he is ready, willing and capable of taking a leading role to make a positive difference. A player who is more than capable of being a top four defenceman."
At 6'3", 201 lb., Ristolainen had 15 points in 52 games last season.

SSHS girls tennis coach Lynn Rapp has guided her program since the school opened its doors in the fall of 2001. The boys program has had just two coaches in its 12 years of existence, Hal Wilkins and Rick Staggs. Personal reasons forced Staggs to step down after the recently completed school year.
The Spanish Springs athletic administration turned to a veteran coach in its stable to fill that boys tennis coaching vacancy. Brian Thompson, who this spring announced he'd be stepping away from the Cougars' baseball program after working as an assistant coach at some level for the past 12 years, will be the new SSHS boys tennis coach.
"I always knew I wanted to keep coaching," Thompson said. "I applied and was fortunate enough to get the job. Our athletic administrators, Jen (Ritch) and Art (Anderson), both encouraged me. Rick has been gracious in helping and Lynn will be too. All of their support made it easy."
One of the reasons prep tennis coaching positions can be hard to fill with good people is that there are fewer people interested and qualified to teach the sport.
"We had sent the notice of the opening out to our staff and we didn't have any replies. Initially, there was not a lot of interest," SSHS athletic Director Art Anderson said. "It's one of the tougher sports to get a good coach, There's not a lot of people with that specialty in tennis. In fact, I think six other schools were or are looking for a tennis coach. We didn't want to fill it with just anybody.
"Then it just happened to be that Brian stepped down from baseball. It was presented to him and he was ready for a new challenge."
Thompson, who teaches in the credit recovery program at Spanish Springs, has already brought on board John Rogers to be his assistant. Rogers is a teacher at Fernley High but is an assistant on the Spanish Springs boys varsity basketball team. He played tennis growing up and later coached it at the prep level in New Mexico. His teams there even won four district titles before placing at state.
"Spanish Springs has been good to me," Rogers said. " When Art talked to me, it seemed best for me to be an assistant since I'm not teaching there. I've talked to Brian, we want to attract some new kids to tennis, even get some younger kids playing before high school so there're introduced to the sport earlier."
Recruiting players from the SSHS hallways will be the first task of Thompson and Rogers. Thompson said only five players return from last fall's roster. Considering nine players are needed for a varsity roster, the coaches have some work to do.
"I want athletes, who aren't playing football or soccer, and want to play a fall sport," Thompson said. "There were no freshmen on the team last year. It just makes sense a four-year player can be better than a three-year player so we've got to get some freshmen out.
"In the past, tennis practice started two weeks before school even started. With our new school calendar we'll be in school for a few days before practice starts. So I can get there and start talking to kids right at the start of school too."
Thompson said he's already talking to his contacts at the middle schools and talking to athletes he knows who don't play a fall sport, working to convince them to give tennis a try.
"The hand-eye coordination you get from tennis can only help our basketball and baseball athletes. I'd like to get some of those kids out here," Thompson said. "Some of best the tennis players we've had here are kids that played multiple sports."
Thompson has already put a summer program in place. He'll open the SSHS tennis courts, starting at 6 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, starting June 19. He'd like any parents or potential players interested in Cougars boys tennis to email him at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
"My competitive nature says we can build it to be one of the best teams in the area," Thompson said. "We want to build and then get bigger and better. That starts with numbers and athletes, including freshmen. That's how you start a program."

That's my mug! I've never really been a huge fan of Winnie the Pooh, but I like the fact that this mug is more or less clear. Plus, I can't help but giggle when I say "ewww …I have Pooh on my mug" and people in the room gawk in horror before realizing I'm talking about Winnie. Am I easily amused? heck yeah!
A little something about my interests? – In no particular order, I love tea, makeup, paper crafting (card making), home renovations, and gardening.
As a rule, I tend to drink my tea without adding anything, but if that doesn't work for me, I indulge in the fact that rules are meant to be broken. Yep! I'm such a rebel…sometimes I even color outside the of lines :P

Looks awesome.

SickSeries GT:Meh compare to other Lambos, lost its aggressive character IMO. And looks like it came straight from GTA games.I think it has matured. The edges have been softened and there are some slight curves, but it retains the fighter jet styling and extreme proportions. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I like this better than the Gallardo.

I like it too. It looks more expensive and less boy racer.

Never really been a fan of Lamborghini(I think I may be the only Italian that really doesn't care for Italian design), but this isn't too bad, still has the wedge of cheese thing going on but it is a bit softer.
It has aggressive and striking looks like any Lambo does.and somehow this one looks a bit too much like predecessor or the Aventador. My only complaint.
One needs to look at the following cars to know that Lamborghini has lost its way:The Volkswagen Group's product portfolio looks like it was designed by one team. It is very uniform and boring, as if the designers (in Lamborghini's case) first visualize what a Volkswagen super car might look like, and then slap the Lamborghini badge on it. Similarly, all Audis resemble upscale Volkswagens.There are dozens of other car makers that have taken Lamborghini's pedestal. Koeinigsegg, Pagani, and Spyker are three such manufacturers that come to mind. I'd go as far as saying that Lamborghinis are the Camrys of the supercar world.Furthermore, this is what a Lamborghini SUV looked like back then:And this is what it would look like now:
Gorgeous. I can't say anything else....

I've never liked Lambo styling. Way too busy and jagged, almost to the point of being gaudy. They took a huge step in the right direction by smoothing it out, that is one good looking supercar.

Aventador has sex with a gallardo and out pops a Huracan.Definitely sexy. Another win by Lambo. In fact, I like it a lot better than the gallardo. Adds just a little bit of aggression to its smooth wedge design without getting all out mean like the Aventador.

Billy Currington seems to be living out the title of his hit single these days, at least in the case of his latest tale. The country star was indicted April 24 on felony charges of making terroristic threats and abuse of an elderly person, according to court records.
The legal problems have cost Currington his slot playing the opening show at NASCAR's All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway next month. Authorities for the race confirmed to USA Today that the legal issues are the reason for his ejection. Josh Turner is slated as his replacement.
However, what remains up in the air is exactly who is "crazy" in the story at hand--which seems to be a classic case of conflicting reports. Currington, 39, was accused by 70-year-old tour boat captain Harvey Ferrelle of screaming and threatening bodily harm against the older man, who was allegedly driving his boat close to Currington's Georgia property on April 15.
Ferrelle told police that Currington got into his own boat and started a chase. If Ferrelle hadn't moved fast enough, "I believe [Currington] would have run me over," he told police.
As for Currington's side of the story, he tweeted on April 17, "harrassing artists often at their home by boat should be illegal."
He later thanked fans for their support and said he couldn't comment further on the ongoing legal matter.
Currington was released from a Georgia jail Thursday after posting a $27,700 bond. He's scheduled to appear in court during an arraignment hearing on May 28. In the meantime, he's on tap to play two shows in Florida over the weekend.

Abby Sciuto
Abby Sciuto is the forensic specialist on NCIS.
She is, in the words of NCIS agent Tony DiNozzo, "a paradox wrapped in an oxymoron smothered in contradictions in terms."
Sciuto's gothic style of dress and her interest in death and the supernatural enigmatically contrast with a generally positive, hyperactive demeanor.
Abby is depicted as fiercely loyal to her team and even considers them family, which frequently leaves her distressed when danger arises on the show.
Abby has at least 11 tattoos on her neck, arms, back, ankle and other places. She is often seen with her stuffed hippo named "Bert" that makes farting noises when squeezed.
Born to deaf parents, she likes her music loud. Like boss Gibbs, with whom she is close, Abby enjoys caffeine, primarily in the form of a fictional drink called "Caf-Pow."
Sciuto graduated with full honors from LSU with a triple major in sociology, criminology and psychology.
She has her master's degree from Georgia State University in criminology and forensic science.
Abby's unusual outlook on life comes into play often in the series - always luckily for us!

Pauley I started watching NCIS because of your character and then I went to a convention for my church and saw that you are for imaginenomalaria and I am once again inspired to try to tell you that I admire you and your character and no I am not trying to stalk you Ive been married for 23 years and wont throw that for anyone but it would be terrific if we could meet sometime I would like to pick your brain for a book I am writing
Dear Pauley, I would love to know where they get your clothes that you wear on NCIS. I absolutely love the skull and cross bones - sweaters, shirts, socks, et al. they even found some appropriate for Christmas and other holidays.
Please let me know. Love your character.
Janice Grim
Abby, I love your character... undertones of confusion interspersed with absolute brilliance... plus... cute as hell... No, not a stalker, just love the character to bits... Might I get a hug someday? Take care, and don't forget to polish them boots! Loads of hugs, just in case Pauley :o)
You are my go to girl that gets the job done I love everything about you and your character. I understand you are a lot like Abby, what I like is you inspire young women to get into the fornesic science you are to be looked up to for the warrior you are. Keep fighting the good fight your admirer from afar.
I love NCIS. I watch it everyday. Abby is my favorite character on the show. People at work say that " You look like Abby from NCIS" I guess it is how I do my hair and wear the black and make up. I like it that way. Its me being comfortable the only way I can be. I love this show and I hope it stays and never dies...
Just saw a rerun of NCIS episode in which Gibbs' military service number is written in the blood of a murder victiom.....turns out it was done by the son of the woman in Columbia that saved Gibbs life 18 years prior. Abby compares that message to Gibbs to the Bat Signal appearing in the sky to call Batman for help. She goes on to mention an actor that portrayed both Batman's mentor (don't know which movie she meant; might have meant the TV show) and Obi One's mentor in Star Wars, probably in one of the prequels. I didn't catch that actor's name; got me curious. Any help?

Life keeps getting more surreal for American teenager Lexi Thompson, who is in the United Arab Emirates to defend her title at the Dubai Ladies Masters, which begins Wednesday. She won the tournament in 2011 at 16 to become the youngest winner on the LPGA and European Tour. She then lost her LPGA record to Lydia Ko, a 15-year-old amateur from New Zealand who won the Canadian Women's Open in August.
Along with Thompson, the field includes Michelle Wie and LPGA Championship winner Shanshan Feng.
Thompson hasn't won a tournament this year, but with four top-five finishes on the LPGA Tour, her star keeps rising. With that come the perks of celebrity. She got to meet the 14-time major winner Woods this summer at the Notah Begay Challenge in August.
"It was amazing, just meeting a role model. I've always looked up to him so it was great to meet him and talk to him," Thompson said. "And he said I'll play golf with you any time, and that means a lot coming from a person at that level."
Just as "amazing" was being invited to play a role in the video game, "Tiger Woods PGA 14." She grew up with the game and played Woods with her golf-playing brothers. Now Thompson looks forward to playing herself. It should be much like the real Thompson—she strapped on sensors on her body, head and shoes to ensure the game was as realistic as possible.
"It's an honor to be in the video game," Thompson said. "I've seen some of the pictures of my animation and it looks so real. ... It will be interesting to play me in the video game. It will be pretty weird but it will be awesome."

Provost's Forum
Provost's Forum: The Future of the Research Library
Research libraries have long been defined by their collections. Environmental factors such as unsustainable costs, viable alternatives to library collections, and new forms of scholarly communication are changing the missions of research libraries and the roles of librarians. While collections used to drive the research library agenda, this shared paradigm has lost its power. The library itself is becoming a space for more than books.
More than 160 IU-Bloomington faculty members joined Provost and Executive Vice President Karen Hanson, Dean of University Libraries Brenda L. Johnson, and a panel of eight faculty colleagues on November 2, 2011 for a discussion about the future of research libraries.
"We need to have a discussion on this campus about the future of scholarly communications and the future of the libraries, both at the core of our enterprise," Hanson emphasized in her opening remarks. "Our faculty has to be deeply involved in this, and there has to be an exchange of information between faculty of different disciplines and faculty librarians."
Hanson and Johnson set the context for the discussion, examining the major drivers of change affecting scholarly communication and research libraries at both the national and local levels. Hanson underscored that technological advances have fundamentally altered the academic landscape and, as a result, the roles of libraries and librarians. She presented some of the more provocative national trends in the use of library collections, the changes in scholarly communication patterns, the costs of developing and maintaining print and digital collections, and the changes to physical library spaces.
Johnson followed with a brief overview of the IU Libraries' response to this new environment defined by continual change. "We know this is a drastically changing environment for our libraries," she said. "We are positioning ourselves to continue to meet our mission, and we realize that there are many more difficult decisions to be made." She highlighted the IU Libraries' leading role in the development of shared print collections, partnerships with other institutions for open access solutions to digital collections, and ongoing initiatives to digitize local materials.
As IU Libraries increasingly focus on services, Johnson explained, the physical library spaces and the roles of librarians will continue to evolve and adapt in order to best meet user needs. For example, Writing Tutorial Services recently moved into the Information Commons of Wells Library. Work is currently underway to renovate space in the Wells Library for the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning (CITL). Together CITL staff and librarians will work closely with faculty to improve student learning outcomes. New library positions also reflect emerging needs in scholarly communication and technology.
Following the remarks by Hanson and Johnson, a panel of eight faculty members shared their diverse perspectives on the changing expectations for and use of libraries' collections and services.
The panelists included:
- Eileen Friel, Astronomy
- Matthew Guterl, American Studies
- Roger Hangarter, Biology
- Jason Baird Jackson, Folklore
- Beth Plale, Informatics
- Joan Pong Linton, English
- Wayne Storey, French & Italian
- Ted Striphas, Communication & Culture
Many panelists focused their remarks around more specific issues in scholarly communications, open access initiatives, and collections development and management. Their views – often divergent – reflect the myriad pressures on libraries to meet the increasingly diverse needs of faculty in support of research, teaching, and scholarship.
Three proposals focused on "what we once called publishing and the changing ways libraries engage with it" were offered by Jackson. He proposed that faculty on the Bloomington campus begin discussions on what is known as the "green open access mandate"; the campus investigate the costs of supporting serving as academic editors in order to inform future decision-making in support of new editorial offices; and the Bloomington Faculty Council develop recommendations that recognize those "consciously publishing peer-reviewed scholarship in sustainable and open access ways."
Guterl captured one of the most fundamental changes in IU Libraries: "I haven't been to the big limestone box on Jordan in over a year," Guterl said," but I use the library every day." The library is virtually present in his scholarly life, with digital information readily accessible on his computer and mobile devices. He posited, "Maybe the future of the library is not the same thing as the future of that building. I have more need of the library-in-the-abstract than ever before."
Linton pondered the broader challenges facing higher education and research libraries. "Increasingly the issues and problems we confront in our global 21st century world are complex ones and require a collective, integrative intelligence, across disciplines and cultural perspectives to address. This is a kind of coordinated knowledge making, by way of belonging to the world that we as faculty and librarians, are still learning to do well."
In thinking about the purpose of the forum and the future of the libraries, Hangarter cited Charles Darwin: "It's not the strongest nor the most intelligent species that survives, it's the one that's most adaptable to change." Hangarter cautioned against rigid plans, advocating instead for adaptable approaches that can respond to continual change.
The forum marks the beginning of ongoing discussions with IU faculty and students about the issues facing libraries and the response of IU Libraries to changes over time. In the coming months, Johnson and other librarians will meet with academic departments, as well as graduate and undergraduate advisory groups, to continue this robust conversation.
Next Steps
During Spring 2012 semester, subject and area librarians will be scheduling meetings with faculty in their departments and research/teaching groups to continue these important discussions. These meetings will focus on the following questions:
- What services, policies or spaces would you need if the majority of physical collections were transferred to the ALF or shared repository?
- Are there categories of materials that in your opinion are more or less appropriate to shelve off-site?
- How would you describe your preferences for electronic or print materials? For example, is it by format (e.g., journal, scholarly monograph, reference work, etc.), date, or the scholarly purpose for which you need it? Or other?
- How do you envision collaborating with librarians beyond building/preserving collections: partner in research and teaching, new scholarly communication paradigms, building discovery systems beyond library collections, other?
As meetings with departments and research/teaching groups progress, please return to this web site for reports on our findings and information about future campus discussions.

Chicago >Food & Dining > Mk
868 N Franklin St, Chicago, IL | Directions 6061041.898598 -87.635901
Sun-Thu 5:30-10:00 Fri-Sat 5:30-10:30
Neighborhoods: Central, Near North Side
MK has a great wine list, plus an excellent New American menu that draws on Asian and French influences.
MK is one of those special restaurants. You may not be a regular, but when a birthday, anniversary or parents-in-town event takes place, this is your resto.
It's about to get a renovation this summer, but this 15-year-old restaurant is still going strong. One banana two banana is still a mouthwatering classic.
My full review at – CamillesDish(dot)com
Great resto!! – Very nice restaurant!! My friend has suggested this place and my expectation were met. Great place for a date!!
Nothing more than terrible – We went to MK for my b.day and were seated promptly and where i requested, it was downhill from there though. The server did not show up for at least 20 mins and when he showed up he seemed in a rush and a not very pleasant person. Anyway i ordered the tasting menu which was five courses and got only served four of them, and when i pointed it out to the server he asked if i still wanted to have the missing course!!!!!!!!!! i am not sure about anyone else but if i am paying for something YES I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE WHOLE THING. and by the way the food is nothing to brag about, there is many better places in chicago for a special occasion.
Above All... MK is a Chicago Must! – Last time I was in Chicago was for the National Restaurant Assn. show at McCormick Place. Being that we, our group, are "Restaurant People" we decided to spend as much money as possible and get the full tour de force of Chicago's amazing restaurant scene.
On with the tour... Like most places in the city, upon approaching you don't see much that is terribly inviting. MK has a painted sign on the side of the building and a globe shaped light above the door entrance and some windows that look into mostly the bar/lounge part of the restaurant. However, upon entry, the staff immediatly brings you into what I like to call the "comfort zone". When we walked in we felt like we were being hosted to a grand dinner party by people that truly cared about the art of food and service. People from Minnesota look at me funny when I tell them that not only did the culinary team at MK care about the experience but the entire service staff that we encountered seemed to emulate the same feeling for our enjoyment of the food and experience. MK transcended this amazing feeling of service and culinary talent all into one, creating one of the best experiences I've ever had in a restaurant. If i had to put it in one word it would be polished.
Enough conceptualizing, do I even need to say that the food was way too good for this planet. I tried the Kobe steak (flank or hanger, can't remember), soft shell crab, pork and halibut. All of the dishes were to die for. I especially liked the Kobe steak, it was prepared to mid rare and had so much flavor I was very tempted in ordering another even after I was completely full. The pork was the best I have ever had, it was so succulent and full of meaty flavor it was hard to give the plate back with out licking it clean. Overall, MK was my favorite dining experience in Chicago, above Blackbird, The Signature Room and others we went to. I think one would be hard pressed to find a better dinner anywhere on Earth! Great Job, Well Done!
Outstanding service and excellent food – Visiting in town from Atlanta and was looking for a great local experience. Sergio was my waiter. His recommendations were oustanding (the tuna, white wine, and cake shake) - enjoyed every bite. The ambiance was great - best for couples or business meetings. I would definitely recommend if you consider yourself a foodie.
COOL PLACE – Great hip place, excellent food. I personally recommend the mango and lobster salad (delicious) Superb service, our waiter was eager to service our every need. Endless wine list. The decoration is fenomenal, very trendy and modern. Spacious and open, not your usual crowded place fancy.
The Cuisine Marvelous - The Service Even Better! – Read the Reviews and MK did not let me down! Seated promptly, Armando G. covered each menu item with a description exceeding the well prepared menu. Every item peaked both our interest and our appetite, including Armando's comment about the best steak in Chicago - and the challenge was on!
First the Korn Soup with Lobster and the Tuna Tartare - both wonderful - one of the best soups - simply phenomenal! Served in an ample bowl, lined with 3 mounds of lobster and then covered w/ the corn soup poured tableside over the lobster with a dash of sherry added- great touch!The wine list is extensive and we asked for advice from the Sommelier, Josh quickly appeared, introduced himself in a friendly and non-pretentious manner. His knowledge of both the menu and the wine list was exceptional and he recommended a Beits&Scholl '04 Syrah, an unfamiliar winery but trusted his judgement. Decanted tableside and was quite honestly - exceptional! The Steaks prepared and seasoned to perfection! I enjoy steaks rare and it had a nice charcoaled crust and a cool pink interior. Yes - one of the finest steaks that I have ever had in Chicago or anywhere for that matter! The pomme frites served w/ a spicy but delightful dipping sauce is highly recommended. While the deserts were appealing, we chose the 5 cheese plate and ordered it accompanied by a pleasant 10 year old port - and very contented smiles.
Armando, Josh, Louis and all made it a splendid dining experience and while busy, we never lacked for attentive service nor the ability to engage in dinner conversation. A very nice balance!
The 6 course tasting w/ a wine for each course and adding the cheese plate is a bargain at $79. Our meal was over $300 with the elegant wine - well worth the experience! And yes - The Best Steak in Chicago!
Now if Chef Michael K. would only share the recipe for the corn and lobster soup - I will have died and gone to heaven! Please Chef - Our your listening??? Thank YOU MK!
Expensive, but bad too – This is the first time I have been motivated to write a review, but last nights dinner was so bad I have to help others avoid this place. There was an article a few years ago in the NY times that reported that MK tries to push it's customers along so that they can get them in and out as quickly as possible and flip the table. They started with serving our wine while we were still half way through our pre-dinner drinks. The appetizers came while we were still eating the amuse bouche. I could smell the burnt steak I ordered before it even came to the table. It was so dry and overcooked the manager even looked shocked. The lamb had so much fat and was so rare it was not even touched. To end the evening the manager did deduct the cost of the entrees but then asked us to finish our $120 wine in the bar so they could seat others
I've been to many restaurants and I have been to MK before and its still one of the worse I have been too. I want to like the place but I'm done with it. Save your money.
Not Impressed – When I made reservations at mk a few days ahead of time, I made sure to ask whether their online menu was current. The person who took my call told me that their website was indeed up to date--but I guess she didn't know that the menu would be changing in a few days? That aside, I went there hoping that the positive reviews were true, and that the dishes would be the highlight of the evening... Well, I must say that I wasn't very impressed by the whole dining experience. While not all the dishes had problems, the quail appetizer tasted a little underseasoned and the pommes frites that the waitress claimed to be one of their specialties (and different from regular pommes frites) weren't special at all. Overall, I think the decor was nice and the food was just OK. I will not dine there again, though.
Impress your guests! – If I have guests coming in from NY, I take them to MK. If my boss is coming into town, I take her to MK. If I am celebrating..MK. This restaurant is a consistent winner...the food is exceptional, the service is truly good, and the wine list is terrific. After numerous visits over many years (since the month the restaurant opened)...it has been a wonderful addition to Chicago.

Effective business-to-business (B2B) integration is key to the performance of supply and demand chains, which in turn impacts the competitiveness of companies and economies as a whole. So what's the state of play in this area, and how can organisations optimise their trading activity?
The highly interdependent nature of business in many industries means the way in which organisations communicate and transact across supply and demand chains has a big impact on business performance. It is therefore not surprising that a recent study involving 201 medium to large UK and Dutch organisations demonstrated a strong correlation between B2B integration effectiveness and both financial performance and business development activity.
Top performers illustrate how to break the problem down into more manageable pieces. When we look at what those with the best overall B2B capability have in common, i.e. what they are doing 'right' to drive results, we are able to distil the factors make a difference.

Tony Washington
Washington says Pellum era is detail-oriented
Oregon defensive end Tony Washington talked about life with Don Pellum as defensive coordinator following Wednesday's spring practice.
Expanded coverage of University of Oregon football, including practice notes, player interviews, videos and random thoughts.
Oregon defensive end Tony Washington talked about life with Don Pellum as defensive coordinator following Wednesday's spring practice.
Another talented Oregon athlete has decided to stop playing basketball to focus on another sport. Before the Duck women's basketball team picked up its first Pac-12 win of the season against Washington State last Friday, multi-sport star Liz Brenner announced she was leaving Paul Westhead's program to focus on the upcoming sand volleyball season. On Tuesday, after seeing his first action for Dana Altman in Sunday's road win at Washington State, Arik Armstead announced he is leaving the men's basketball program to focus on his football career.
Oregon has added verbal commitments from two junior college recruits in the class of 2014, defensive players who each have a redshirt year available but play positions where the Ducks figure to sustain heavy losses to graduation. Defensive lineman Tui Talia, from the San Francisco Bay Area, backed out of a verbal commitment to Washington and said Wednesday he intends to sign with Oregon.
Christian French is not avoiding comparisons to Dion Jordan, and so far there have been a few similarities between the former roommates. Both played tight end early in their Oregon careers, and wore No. 82. When Jordan moved to defensive end he switched to No. 96, and now French has done the same thing after Jordan was selected third overall in the NFL draft by the Miami Dolphins this week.
Yesterday I spoke with two somewhat under-the-radar Ducks, and their stories were so similar it was a little spooky — younger brothers of former UO football players who were asked to switch positions just before the start of spring practice. My subject yesterday, Brian Teague, made the more dramatic shift, from tight end to offensive tackle.
In the lead-up to the Fiesta Bowl, Boseko Lokombo suffered an ankle injury that, combined with Dion Jordan's lingering shoulder problem, meant both of Oregon's starting outside linebackers were limited for the game. Not only did the Ducks not suffer from those injuries at the time, beating Kansas State, 35-17, but they're seeing positive repercussions this month.
A quick refresher at each position as we prepare for the start of spring practice on April 2 … DEFENSIVE LINE PROJECTED DEPTH CHART DE: Taylor Hart, Sr.; DeForest Buckner,, So.; Sam Kamp, So.; David Kafovalu, Jr. NG: Wade Keliikipi, Sr.; Alex Balducci, So.; Ryan Hagen, Sr. DT: Ricky Heimuli, Sr; Arik Armstead, So.; Jared Ebert, Sr.; Stetzon Bair, RSo.
From today's editions, a story by news reporter Jack Moran: Oregon defensive lineman Isaac Remington's suspension was lifted Tuesday after Eugene city prosecutors decided against formally charging him with driving under the influence of intoxicants, in connection with his arrest on Oct. 12. A breath test administered to Remington, 23, after he was taken into custody measured his blood alcohol content at 0.06 percent, according to a Eugene police report written by officer Nicholas Miller.
The news Oregon had hoped to receive prior to Thursday's game at Arizona State came down this morning. Eugene prosecutors won't pursue a DUII charge against UO defensive tackle Isaac Remington, the R-G's Jack Moran reports, after confirming his blood-alcohol content was .06 during an Oct. 12 traffic stop. While Oregon law allows that a driver can be charged with DUII for a reading under .08, it apparently makes for a tougher court case, one the city won't pursue.
From today's editions: Amid Oregon's explosion of offense in the first half and nearly three quarters of shutout defense Thursday at Arizona State, the Ducks also saw encouraging improvements across the board in the kicking game. Personnel changes on both kickoff units yielded positive results for UO special teams coordinator Tom Osborne. Furthermore, punter Jackson Rice enjoyed his most consistent performance of what had been a frustrating start to the season.
Oregon senior Dion Jordan today was named one of 12 semifinalists for the Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker. Though the Ducks list his as a defensive end, Jordan's position is known a the "drop end" or "outside linebacker" in the terminology players and coaches use. An all-Pac-12 player a year ago, Jordan has 29 tackles through seven games this season, with seven tackles for loss that include five sacks, tied for the team lead with Taylor Hart.
Oregon this morning continued preparing to face Arizona State on Thursday as if senior defensive tackle Isaac Remington won't be available, due to the indefinite suspension he received following a DUII arrest Friday. UO coach Chip Kelly said today Remington, who has dressed for both practices since the arrest and suspension, has been working out with strength and conditioning coaches but not taking part in team drills.
From today's editions: When DeForest Buckner was being recruited by Oregon out of Punahou School in Honolulu — Barack Obama's alma mater — UO defensive line coach Jerry Azzinaro was upfront about the potential for early playing time. Work hard enough, Azzinaro told Buckner, and there was a chance to crack the Ducks' primary rotation on the line of eight guys, give or take.
Twins Tyrell and Tyree Robinson committed to Oregon to play both football and basketball after making an official visit to Eugene this past weekend, Tyrell Robinson announced on his Twitter feed. Both players are considered four-star recruits in football and are ranked by Rivals.com among the top 10 "athletes" in the country. Tyrell was recruited as an outside linebacker, Tyree as a safety.
The Ducks practiced today inside Autzen Stadium in full pads, as they prepare to face Fresno State at home on Saturday afternoon. One new injury note: Outside linebacker Keloni Kamalani left the Casanova Center while practice was going on, in street clothes and with his right arm in a sling, immobilized against his body. Kamalani has had shoulder problems in the past, FYI, and he did not play against Arkansas State.
From today's editions: Of the seven true freshmen to play for Oregon in the Ducks' season opening win over Arkansas State, none played more prominently than defensive ends Arik Armstead and DeForest Buckner, and that doesn't figure to change any time soon. Given what looks like a significant injury to reserve end Jared Ebert suffered against the Red Wolves, Armstead and Buckner project as the primary reserves at defensive end when the No.
The Ducks were inside Autzen Stadium today for a practice under beautiful sunny skies here in Eugene. In the interview above, Chip Kelly addresses the way his young team bounced back today following Saturday's game, and offered some thoughts on Fresno State. A couple injury notes: defensive end Jared Ebert had his left leg in a very sturdy brace when he walked out of Autzen (though he was otherwise in full gear, as Kelly requires of even the injured guys).
From today's editions: The recent standard for pass-rushing tandems at Oregon was set four seasons ago, when ends Nick Reed and Will Tukuafu combined for 20 1/2 quarterback sacks in 2008. That outdid several other dangerous duos from the three decades that sacks have been an official statistic. Ernest Jones and Jeff Cummins teamed up for 19 1/2 in 1992; two years earlier, Matt LaBounty and Marcus Woods combined for 18, and threes duos have had 17.
I spoke Monday with Isaac Remington and Jared Ebert, for the story on them that ran in this morning's editions. That day the Ducks had two practices, making it four in three days, though they were also coming off their first day off since camp had begun, on Sunday. So, I asked Ebert, was that one day enough to recover from the first week of camp, and enter the dog days of August?
The 2011 season was something of a rebuilding year for the Oregon defensive line, after the loss of 2010 senior starters Brandon Bair, Zac Clark and Kenny Rowe. During that 2010 season, freshmen Taylor Hart, Wade Keliikipi and Ricky Heimuli provided depth, and so their development into full-time players in 2011 didn't go unnoticed. Less heralded were the contributions of Isaac Remington, who redshirted in 2010 out of junior college and so was something of an unknown entering last fall.

Companion Card Procedure
|Document Number
|Date Approved
|30 August 2006
1. Context
This procedure supports the implementation of the University's Travel Policy and must be read in conjunction with that document and the documents listed as Essential Supporting Documents below.
2. Definitions
In this procedure
authorised officer means an officer with appropriate authority under the Delegation of Authority Policy;
acquit means to substantiate expenses and reconcile these against cash used;
companion card means a University provided credit card for use by international travellers to access cash withdrawals only.
3. Procedure
3.1. Companion cards are available only to staff who travel as part of their normal duties while employed by the University's International Division or English Language and Foundation Studies unit.
3.2. Applicants for a companion card must:
(i) obtain an application form from Card Services within Financial Services;
(ii) complete all mandatory fields on the form;
(iii) obtain the approval signature from an authorised officer
(iv) forward the signed form to Card Services; and
(v) collect the card and Personal Identification Number (PIN) from Card Services when it is available – generally after 7 working days.
3.3. Card holders may access available credit on their card by withdrawing cash:
(i) from an ATM;
(ii) across the counter of financial institutions displaying the Visa logo; or
(iii) through a foreign currency exchange.
Note: Some hotels allow cash withdrawals through their own facilities
3.4. No purchases are to be made using the companion card. The card can only be used as defined in the Travel Policy.
3.5. Card holders are required to obtain and keep receipts and invoices documenting their use of the cash withdrawn from the companion card.
3.6. When receipts or invoices are not provided, travellers must document expenditures by making a Diary Note or completing the declaration template available on Spendvision.
3.7. On return from each trip in which the companion card has been used, card holders must take the following actions:
(i) acquit any withdrawals of cash from the companion card using the Expense Management System – Spendvision;
(ii) arrange refund of any non-aquitted residual cash amounts to the University by completing the "Cash Advance Refund to the University" requisition in Spendvision. That process will trigger payroll deductions.
Note: where card holders are travelling again within 3 months of the previous trip, they may hold a positive float (where they owe the University money) until that amount is acquitted as a result of expenses in the following trip; or a negative float (where the University owes them money) until additional advances are accessed for the subsequent trip.
(iii) Where the cardholder holds foreign coins and/or notes of low value, the cardholder may retain the money but is expected to acquit the amount through Spendvision. That transaction ensures that the money is accounted for and avoids the amount being recorded as money owed by the traveller.
(iv) Extract a cash statement report from Spendvision showing all transactions; sign this report; attach all supporting documents; and forward to Card Services in Financial Services within 4 weeks of the end of the month in which the trip was completed.
Note: this statement report is in addition to the reports that travellers must provide if they hold a University purchasing card and/or they are claiming reimbursements.
3.8. Cards which are lost or stolen overseas should be reported to any bank displaying the Visa logo immediately upon discovery or by phoning the toll free 1800 number, located in the cards terms & conditions – provided when the card was signed.

Every year I miss fig season. I see them in the stores and think, "Not today, but next time I will buy the figs." This is silly, because I love figs. And by the time I finally get ready to buy figs, with the perfect dessert in mind, they are gone. Poof... Fig season is too short. I was not going to be thwarted this year, so I scoured the farmer's market yesterday for figs, picked up a pint and set off to make dessert.
This week I also picked up some gluten-free Bisquick. Yes I know this doesn't sound like me. Boxed mixes? But I had heard so much about it, and looking at the ingredients I saw that I couldn't replicate it with my own mixes. They use modified potato starch, and of course the modification they use is a trade secret. It makes sense though. Potato absorbs liquid well, making moist baked goods. I assume they modify it to aid with structure as well, without creating the chew that tapioca starch creates.
I decided to try out a classic cobbler to test the new flour. How did it work? Very nicely. The biscuits were not as flakey as I would like but that could be because I cooked it on the grill where I couldn't control the temperature as well. They were moist, and nicely crumbly. Best of all, no off flavors. As much as I hoped it would fail, it was a success. I will be trying out more with this mixture. It may be the first gluten-free flour mix I can't resist - we'll see...
Banana, fig, blueberry cocoa nib studded cobbler
Cobbler topping
- 1 pint figs, quartered
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 cup thawed wild blueberries, juices reserved
- 2 t tapioca starch
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 t kosher salt
- 1 t cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees (I grilled mine in a cast-iron pan).
- Reduce reserved blueberry dessert by half.
- Add figs, banana and blueberries to juice. Add tapioca starch, honey, salt and cinnamon and toss to blend well.
- Place in the bottom of pan, and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until the edges start to boil.
Cobbler topping
- 3/4 cup (150 g) gluten-free bisquick
- 1/4 cup (50 g) buckwheat flour
- 3 T cold unsalted butter
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/3 cup yogurt or buttermilk, cold
- 1 T egg white, cold
- 1/2 t vanilla
- 3 T cocoa nibs
- Mix flours, salt, set aside.
- Cut butter into small pieces, and then rub into flour mixture until you have pea sized or smaller pieces of butter.
- Using your palmed, smear the dough, so the butter forms flakes. Between each smear, gather the dough into a pile again. smear until most of the butter is in thin sheets.
- Mix yogurt or buttermilk, egg white and vanilla.
- Add liquid ingredients to flour/butter mixture and gently mix by hand until combined.
- Add in cocoa nibs and gently fold into dough.
Assembling and baking cobbler
- When the fruit as pre-baked, add spoonfuls of cobbler topping to the top of fruit.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees or until cobbler topping is browned and fruit is bubbly.

Height: 6'3" Weight: 255 Age: 32 Experience: 2nd season College: Utah State Drafted: 2004 R3 P18, Redskins
Posted: 7/18/2013 1:09am et
Washington Redskins TE Chris Cooley is retiring from the NFL and he will join the team's radio booth in 2013. Cooley was signed to a multi-year deal by ESPN 980 (980 AM), the team's flagship station in Washington. "To add a talent and fan favorite like Chris to our team will add excitement to our broadcast and a level of unpredictability for our listeners," the executive producer of the Redskins Radio Network said in a written statement.
Huddle Up: Cooley had a nice run as a decent tight end in the Redskins' WCO, but injuries took their toll. He certainly has the personality to be successful in the radio booth.
