Unfortunately, it doesn't ex- actly fit into my Weight Watch- ers plan very well. So, this week, I went looking for a sub- stitute that wouldn't wreck my diet. Thankfully, on the Weight Watchers website, they had just the thing. I whipped them up on Saturday and they are delicious. Now I can have my blueberry muffin every morning with less than half the points of what I had been eating. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS Cooking spray 1 ¼ cups fresh blueberries, or frozen and thawed 2 tbsp sugar (or Splenda) 1 1⁄4cups all-purpose flour 3⁄4 cup uncooked unenriched white cornmeal 1 tbsp baking powder 1⁄4 tsp baking soda 1⁄4 tsp table salt 1 cup low-fat buttermilk 1⁄3 cup honey 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted 1 large egg, beaten INSTRUCTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. 2. In a medium bowl, toss blueberries with sugar; set aside. 3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 4. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, hon- ey, butter and egg. Pour wet ingredients into flour mixture and beat thoroughly to combine; fold in berries. 5. Place twelve 1/4 cup scoops of batter on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake until tops just start to turn golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Yields 1 per serving. Source: weightwatchers.com Staying up-to-date with computer technology is nearly as difficult as learn- ing the lingo. What was im- portant two years ago is no longer important and may even be extinct. The same goes for two years from now. All this being said, the basic parts of a comput- er remain consistent, spe- cifically the processor, the working memory (R AM), the storage, the display, the keyboard, and the mouse. The slew of terms involv- ing computers might ap- pear intimidating, but I as- sure you it's just a ploy by IT departments to bolster their image of being geni- uses! I will, to the best of my ability, take a few exam- ples from the basics point- ed out above and provide a more meaningful explana- tion. 1. Hard Drive – A com- mon term, this piece of equipment stores informa- tion, or data. It is simply the place where everything in a computer gets stored. Much like a file cabinet, when you overstuff it, it becomes much harder for you to use it effectively. In a computer, when you place too much information on a hard drive, opening appli- cations becomes difficult and usually takes a very long time. 2. Processor - I'm sure a large majority of people have heard this term be- fore, and rightfully so. It's the most important part of a computer! A processor is similar to the sum of the people who work towards a common goal. Just like any group of such people, differ- ent parts have different pri- orities. While they all work together, not all tasks are equal. The more advanced the processor, the more complex the operations that can be solved. Think of a student's graphing cal- culator used in high school or college versus a simple calculator found in the junk drawer of most homes. The student needs to be able to solve math equations. The average person at home just needs to balance a check- book. Same needs… differ- ent requirements. 3. R AM – It's not men- tioned as much as the other two, but R AM (Random Ac- cess Memory), works like a hard drive but with a twist. Where a hard drive is more like a filing cabinet, R AM is more like the thought that you should have writ- ten down but didn't and now can't remember. When it's gone, it's really gone! You can also think of R AM as a notepad. It's a temporary place to write an idea, but you really need to transfer it to a more permanent place if you think you'll need to reference it again. This is where the hard drive comes back into play. 4. Keyboard and Mouse – These are input devices … tools you use to enter information into a computer. While these are the most common, they are by far not the only tools. To- day we use pencil-like de- vices called styluses, we use touchpads on laptops, we use touchscreens (found on most smartphones, tab- lets, and many all-in-one computers). Just like a company's best resource is its people and the knowl- edge they provide, a com- puter is only as useful as the information that can be put into it and/or extracted from it. 5. Display – This item has many names: monitor, screen, LCD, CRT, boat anchor, etc. Regardless of the term you like to use, it's nothing more than a tel- evision for a computer. Its primary purpose is to al- low for ease of interaction with the computer. Think of this as a billboard or post- er around an office display- ing something as simple as a meeting announcement or as important as the cur- rent work schedule. Of par- ticular note here is that the larger the display, the eas- ier it may be for the eyes. My employer tells me that for those of you who may no longer be spring chickens (his words, not mine), you may wish to consider a larg- er display over a more pow- erful processor. Hopefully my analogies were helpful and you can now see that a computer is not as complicated as it might seem. All you need is a little know-how and voilà! Establishing a foothold by familiarizing yourself with the primary parts of a com- puter is an excellent start, but it is nearly impossible not to be stumped by some new computer term or ref- erence. In the event that you do get stumped, the perfect resource is Goog- le, where the answer to al- most any question is just a few keystrokes away. A cou- ple of additional resources I suggest and personally use are: • tomshardware.com • www.newegg.com And always remember, as Francis Bacon is fa- mously attributed to say- ing, "Knowledge is power!
