From Psych Central…..
How much do your taste buds have to do with your weight? Anything? Everything?
In a recent study researchers compared taste sensitivity in obese children and adolescents to that of healthy weight children and adolescents. According to this study, taste sensitivity is linked to weight.
Children and adolescents who were obese had less sensitive taste buds. That means for obese children sweet foods tasted less intensely sweet, bitter foods were milder and salt was not as readily perceived.
What do these differences in taste perception mean?
What the study can't reliably tell us is whether a decreased taste sensitivity causes obesity or whether obesity somehow causes a decrease in taste sensitivity.
We do know that our tastes change over our lifetimes as a result of certain life circumstances. During pregnancy, for example, nearly two-thirds of women experience changes in taste. Pregnant women have been found to have a reduced sensitivity to salty tastes, which may be the body's way of ensuring increased salt intake during pregnancy.
Chemotherapy is another example of an experience that changes a sense of taste. Forty-six percent of patients receiving chemotherapy report taste changes.

Once we take responsibility and change what needs to be fixed we can move forward with greater ease and higher profits.
Below are some areas to make sure you have wired tight. Step back and be honest with yourself are any of these areas holding you back? Even the best marketing cannot overcome a bad guest experience time and time again. Are any of these areas in your restaurant needing your attention? Make a quick list of improvements, get 'em done and move your restaurant forward. I find that money spent on these areas has a greater impact because it focuses on the guests you already have instead of trying to get more people to experience something that really needs to be improved.
- Your product.
- The guest dining experience.
- Your restaurant interior.
- Your restaurant exterior — landscaping, parking lot, signs.
- Host and server interactions with guests.
- Your washrooms.
- Your flatware/plateware.
- Your menu.
- Your guests' perception of value.
- Your ability to be the mayor and connect with those inside and outside.
- Your ability to deliver TOS (totally Outrageous Service) so your guests have something to tell others about.
- Your ability to define and differentiate your restaurant and be famous for something.
What to do next? Take those advertising dollars and allocate them into the areas above. You'll get a much higher return on your investment.
Once you got your place humming then you should be taking profits and rolling them into marketing and advertising trading $1 of marketing for $10 in profits. Then you just keep being creative and turning up the faucet making it a Marketing Fire Hose!!
If you are not sure how to get your restaurant to the point of being able to focus and drive your success through great systems and compounding profits with effective marketing then we definitely need to talk.
Respectfully yours,

The Best Of Our Knowledge #1161
By Bob Barrett
The search for energy continues to be one of the driving forces of our economy and policy. Now, the University of Massachusetts is offering a doctoral program in wind power to speed the development of this source of renewable power. Today on The Best Of Our Knowledge, we'll talk to a pair of professors at U-MASS about the program.
We'll also celebrate NaNoWriMo...but first we'll tell you what it is. And we'll spend an academic minute sharing some shocking news about alcohol. Seems it affects your interactions with strangers.

There is a typo in the the lesson "To Grab Space or to Not Grab Space?". Before your first move, under the dotted line in the commentary section on the right (don't know what it's called), it says "and being board...", which should be changed to "bored".
The pun, also called paronomasia, is a form of word play which suggests two or more meanings, by exploiting multiple meanings of words, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect.[1][2] These ambiguities can arise from the intentional use and abuse of homophonic, homographic, metonymic, or metaphorical language. A pun differs from a malapropism in that a malapropism uses an incorrect expression that alludes to another (usually correct) expression, but a pun uses a correct expression that alludes to another (sometimes correct but more often absurdly humorous) expression. Henri Bergson defined a pun as a sentence or utterance in which "two different sets of ideas are expressed, and we are confronted with only one series of words".[3] Puns may be regarded as in-jokes or idiomatic constructions, given that their usage and meaning are entirely local to a particular language and its culture. For example, camping is intense (in tents).
What is that for?
He's implying it's a pun.
Implication negated.

Marian Wang: As banks resume foreclosures and claim to have added safeguards to their processes, it's been left up to state court judges to decide whether they buy what the banks are saying. Many judges haven't.
Why Guatemalans, Mexicans and other Latin Americans are coming to the United States and the poor are becoming poorer in their countries.

Carole Bartolotto: The problem with concluding that GMOs are safe is that the argument for their safety rests solely on animal studies. These studies are offered as evidence that the debate over GMOs is over. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Margo McCall: There's increasing evidence that adopting a plant-based diet is better for human health, the planet, and of course for the more than 9 billion animals that are killed for consumption each year in the U.S alone.
Joe Mathews: Thanks to Xi Jinping, Chinese millionaires have propped up the state's sagging real estate market, universities, and companies.

"Moderate Risk": What Does That Mean?
April 3, 2014
By WeatherBug Meteorologist, Andrew Rosenthal
The government`s Storm Prediction Center has issued a Moderate Risk of severe thunderstorms. What does this mean?
The Storm Prediction Center uses a three-point scale, ranging from Slight to High Risk, and a Moderate Risk is the middle option. This means that there is an enhanced potential for dangerous weather compared to Slight Risk areas. Typically, a Moderate Risk area is issued when a widespread severe storm or tornado outbreak is expected.
Threats to areas in a Moderate Risk typically include:
- The likelihood of tornadoes, often strong and/or long-lasting
- Frequent lightning
- Damaging winds, often in excess of 70 mph
- Large hail in excess of 2 inches
When a Moderate Risk area is issued, it should be taken very seriously. Its presence means that government forecasters are confident enough that widespread storms will develop, and that these storms are capable of causing significant damage or even causing fatalities.
For anyone in a Moderate Risk area, it would be wise to keep an eye on the sky during any activities, and be prepared to take shelter at a moment`s notice.

weed block
SigneyMarch 1, 2013
My husband is going to build a few of the square foot garden boxes for me. Do we attach some weed blocker to the boxes themselves?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Ray_Scheel(z8b/SS31 E. TX)
The best practice is to use an alternate like overlapping layers of cardboard or newspaper that will smother live grasses beneath it before decomposing in a season or so. Weed blocker has a bad habit of turning into shreds that work up a little at a time for years and years.

Funky Jeans Bag
By: Stefi Luca
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Recycle an old pair of jeans into a funky bag with this tutorial by Stefi Luca. Use a bright fabric like the red fabric pictured for the lining and embellishments.
- Pair of worn out jeans
- Linen for lining
- Matching thread
When you have all the materials at hand, we can proceed to the next step.
Level the top edges of the waistband and pin them together. Cut the jeans a few inches under the crotch point. Then separate the front and back sides at the crotch area.
Sew the front legs (as to cover what used to be crotch area), which will make your short jeans look like a skirt.
Turn the jeans inside out, pin again the top edges of the waistband on the wrong side and sew the bottom. Cut out the remaining fabric, after sewing.
Lay the jeans on the folded linen and cut it along the line of the jeans: 1 inch exceeding the waistline. Sew the linen on the wrong side. Before sewing you can add some inner pockets if you wish, if not – no biggie as there are plenty of outside pockets.
I applied two inner pockets, one regular and one phone pocket to which I added a lid. I followed my dad's suggestion when seeing my green bag: "What if you turn your bag upside down looking for something inside, your phone may drop down".
Cut two strips out of the jeans legs and two out of the linen. I wanted really long straps so I created one strap from one strip and a half. Sew them and get two lined straps.
Place the straps between the jeans and the lining and sew them all together. Add a fastening device. I have first thought of sew-on snaps but finally gave in for an easier solution.
It's time now to use the last ingredient, your imagination, to give the bag the last really nice touch into the funky spirit.
Here we have a funky scrap bag.

A device for measuring the optical turbidity, i.e., the soot components in discharge gases of diesel engines, which is relatively simply constructed, operates safely and enables a simple handling even with differently structured measuring devices. This result is achieved in that a controller for controlling the light density of the measuring light beam is optically coupled with a light source. A sample and hold circuit is provided with the values of a measuring detector and the control detector fed to a sample and hold circuit in a time multiplex manner with the measuring values processed in a computer unit. Control values are fed to the light source by means of a control loop. In addition, the computer unit is capable of storing a plurality of measuring values or turbidity values and average value of the stored peak values, whereby the peak values are determined by a dynamic measuring of a defined number of measuring cycles. Moreover, a device is provided which feeds motor related parameter to the computer unit for triggering of measuring value determination and measuring value calculation.
1. A device for measuring the soot content of gases discharged by diesel engines comprising:

12. The device in accordance with claim 11 which includes heating means for heating said lens system.
13. The device in accordance with claim 1 wherein said light source is a light emitting diode capable of emitting light at a constant density in the visible range.
The present invention relates to a device for optical turbidity measuring of gases, in particular, for measuring soot components and the like in the exhaust of engines.
There present exists devices and methods for measuring the soot component in exhaust gases of, in particular, diesel engines. Such devices or methods usually perform such measuring through the use of filter paper in the exhaust flow wherein the increase in weight of the filter paper or the coloration thereof caused by the soot allows for measuring the optical turbidity.
Other methods of measuring such turbidity use a light scattering method wherein the soot particles in the exhaust gas are measured. One such device is that manufactured by Berkley a.Co., Inc., Spirit Lake, Ia., U.S. under the name "Smoke Meter", Model 200. This unit operates on the principal which equates the percentage of light lost which results during an illumination of the exhaust gas. However, heretofor such known measuring devices suffer from disadvantages in particularly being hard to handle, in addition to being relatively expensive and complicated. Accordingly, there exists a need for a relatively simple, inexpensive and versatile measuring device which is effective yet allows for ease of use.
It is therefore a principal object of the present invention to provide a device for the optical turbidity measuring of gases which is relatively easily structured, operates reliably and, in addition, permits a simple handling thereof, even with variously structured outlets where such measuring may be performed.
The device taught by the invention is a relatively simply structured and economical, and allows for the determination of the turbidity in gases. Such a device is typically employed in a motor vehicle shop for testing the soot component in exhaust gases of, for example, diesel engines. The device of the present invention handles easily, and avoids the heretofor expensive test runs and measurings of previous testing methods.
The present invention teaches the use of a measuring device utilizing a controlled light emitting source across the exhaust discharge which is received by a light receiving source. The intensities of the light emitted and the light received are coupled to a sample and hold (S/H) circuit which in turn is coupled to an A/D converter. The signal for the A/D converter is sent to a microprocessor for storing a plurality of measured values and determining an average thereof and accordingly, the peak values which are determined by a dynamic measuring of a defined number of measuring cycles. The device is equipped with a control loop which adjust the amount of light emitted and thereby compensates for age or decay of the light emitting element. In addition, the device includes a triggering element which indicates when a particular engine parameter, i.e., acceleration is occurring.
Thus by the present invention, its objects and advantages will be realized, the description of which should be taken in conjunction with the drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the measuring device incorporating the teachings of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a front schematic illustration of the measuring unit for coupling to an engine exhaust, incorporating the teachings of the present invention.
With reference to FIG. 1, the device in accordance with the invention consists of a measuring unit 1 and an evaluation unit 2 which may be connected via a multiwire cable or such other type coupling, suitable for purpose.
The measuring unit 1 is intended to be a unit which is readily adaptable to be mounted on the exhaust conduit such as, in particular, the end of the exhaust pipe of a motor having a defined inner diameter and a predetermined measuring length. A detailed construction of the measuring unit 1 will be explained in more detail in conjunction with the description of FIG. 2.
Returning now to FIG. 1, the measuring unit 1 is provided with a light source 3 or light emitting means preferably in form of a light emitting diode. This light emitting diode generates light impulses of a constant density in the visible range (green), for illuminating a predetermined measuring path in a measuring chamber 4. The illumination is performed transversely with respect to the exhaust flow direction. After the light passes through the measuring path, the intensity of the light is measured by means of a light sensitive detector device 5 such as a photo sensitive diode, in a soot free condition (corresponding 0% turbidity). A reduction of the emitted light received would be caused by the soot or smoke in the exhaust. The photo sensitive diode of the receiving device 5 supplies output signals having an amplitude that is proportional to the amount of light received through in the measuring path.
A second detector or control receiver 6 is provided and includes a photo sensitive diode which is optically coupled directly with the light emitting diode 3 for controlling the light density of the light emitted.
The evaluation unit 2 which may be mounted in the driver's compartment comprises a servicing part 7, an indication unit 8 (i.e., digital indicator), and a power supply 9 as well as the electronics for signal processing, as will be discussed.
In order to eliminate expensive test drives and measurings on a roller or efficiency test stand, the process of gradual acceleration is utilized. During the dynamic measuring, the rotating mass of the motor may advantageously be used as a load. Starting from the idling running of the engine, a defined number of measuring cycles are performed which are being triggered by emitting gas thrusts from the engine, wherein the maximum blackening of the exhaust is measured. The relative light absorption of the soot particle in the exhaust gas are photometrically evaluated.
The output impulses emitted from the detection 5 and the control detector 6 of the measuring unit 1 are fed in time multiplexed fashion to a S/H circuit 10 within the evaluation unit 2. Timing is regulated by a control unit 11, in accordance with signals received from of a computer unit or microprocessor 12. The signal corresponding to the measured light is converted by an analog/digital converter 13 and fed to the computer unit 12. In addition, control values are fed to the light source 3 through a control loop when the switches coupled to the sample and hold circuit 10 are in their up position. The signal of the control detector 6 which corresponds to the amount of light emitted by the light diode 3 is compared with a constant reference voltage URef in a comparator 14. The differential or output signal of the comparator controls the power source in conjunction with an integrator 15 in such a manner that should the light intensity of the light emitting diode decrease (a normal effect due to temperature and the aging of the light diode 3), the power source is measured thereby keeping the output of LED3 constant.
In addition, measuring value determination and measuring value calculation may be performed depending upon certain motor related parameters, such as a defined speed increase of the engine or a defined increase of the soot component. In this regard, for monitoring a speed increase of the engine, transmitter 16 is connected with the evaluation unit 2. The output signal of the transmitter 16 has a frequency that is proportional to the speed of the engine. This signal is then amplified by a variable amplifier 17 and coupled with an integrator 18. The signal from the integrator 18 in turn controls a timer or clock 19 connected with the microprocessor 12 and thereby supplying the speed informations thereto.
The microprocessor 12 and peripheral device controls the total operation of the measuring device. It allows only accurate measuring methods and a monitoring of the signal transmitted. Also, the determined measuring criteria, like the defined speed or soot component increase, the storing of a plurality of measured values or turbidity peak values with maximum value determination and average value of the stored peak values as well as the measuring cycles are monitored. A control of the light intensity at diode 3 and status indications as well as manual control the calculating of the measuring values and the average value are also performed by the microprocessor unit 12.
The microprocessor 12 also provides for the simple handling of the device in accordance with the invention. A user can be guided by the measured performance. Requests to the operator, indications of the condition of the measuring device, waiting periods, measuring process, etc., may all be controlled by the microprocessor.
Turning now to the servicing selection part 7, one selects the appropriate section before each measuring process is performed. For example, a selection may be made to have measuring operation performed through the speed increase, or the increase in the soot component. Selection may be performed by way of activating appropriate keys or switches in the servicing part or manual control means 7 for the particular operation to be performed.
The measuring process serves to provide the user information and error indications as are desired. This allows for a measuring device which delivers simple and reliable measuring and excludes error source. The measuring of the soot particle concentration in the exhaust gas delivers a reliable and exact indication about the condition of the engine, so that, for example, a correct setting of the injection pump is obtained. Such data not only provides important values for measures to reduce the environmental contamination (high component of soot particles), but also allows for increasing the engine lifespan. In this regard a high component of soot particles is an indication of fuel injection amounts which are too high resulting in increased consumption and coking of the injection nozzles, thus reducing the lifespan of the engine. By a correct adjusting of the injection pump these consequences, which are damaging to the engine, are eliminated.
With reference more particularly to FIG. 2, there is schematically illustrated the structure of the measuring unit 1 in accordance with the invention. The light diode 3 is shown as the light source along with the control detection 6 and the measuring detection 5 which together form a structural unit. The light impulses of the light diode 3 are fed through a lightwave conductor or fiber optic line 21 to an optical lens system 22 which sends a parallel bundle of rays through the measuring chamber 4 with a defined diameter.
A second optical lens system 23 collects the received bundle of rays passing through chamber 4 and a second lightwave conductor for fiber optic line 24 feeds the light to the photo sensitized diode of the measuring receiver 5. The diode 5 serves as a measuring receiver in conjunction with a transimpedance amplifier and converts the light impulses into proportional voltage impulses UM , whose amplitudes are evaluated in the evaluation unit 2.
The control receiver 6 which is similarly structured detects the light which is emitted directly from the transmitter light diode 3. Its output impulses UR are proportional to the light density of the light received and serves to regulate the operating power of the transmitter diode 3. Thus, a constant light density is obtained, independent from the temperature effect and aging of the transmitter diode.
The transmitting and receiving elements are mounted in a metal block which provides the thermal uniformity and also reproducible optical conditions. Together with the lightwave conductor lines which are mounted on the block, an easily exchangeable operational block is provided.
The optical lens systems 22 and 23 are preferably heated so as to prevent dew effects. This may be by annular like PTC-resistor (cold conductor) or any other means suitable for purpose. Bores 25 in the proximity of the lens system 22 and 23 provide a suitable air flow for preventing an undue contamination by soot particles. The lenses are easily exchangeable for cleaning purposes. When contaminations of, for example, more than 20% turbidity occur a measuring by the evaluation unit 2 is prevented; the indicator unit 8 may then be signalled to optically indicate to the operator that the lenses have to be cleaned.
The structure of the measuring unit 1, in accordance with FIG. 2 is provided with shutters 26 before and after bores 25 of the arrangement are designed as light conduits with an air rinsing system.
For the housing a die cast metal part is provided for the measuring unit 1 having the optic, lightwave conductor connection and opto-electrical transmitting and receiving elements as well as the associated electronic adapter circuits. As for the measuring chamber (measuring tube) and the adaption parts for mounting the exhaust end pipe they are preferably made of steel plate. The adaptation to the exhaust pipe may be made by means of a suitable slip on nozzle made of rubber.
Thus by the aforenoted invention, its object and advantages and others will be realized, and although a preferred embodiment has been disclosed and described in detail, its scope should not be limited thereby, rather its scope should be determined by that of the appended claims.

Some of actor Gary Sinise's most memorable roles have been public servants injured in the line of fire who found solace in the healing power of relationships.
As Lt. Dan in the 1994 movie "Forrest Gump," he played an angry Vietnam War veteran whose friendship with the title character helps him make peace with life as a double amputee. In the television series "CSI: NY," Sinise is a police detective who leans on his girlfriend to recover from a gunshot wound.
His interactions with real-life men and women on the front lines or struggling at home to overcome disability inspired another major role – globe-trotting fundraiser, entertainer and advocate for military and law enforcement personnel. Read the rest of this entry »

Mrs. Marie R. (Giuliano) (Vinciullo) Vitale, of Waltham, died on Sunday January 26, 2014 in Newton Wellesley Hospital. She was 97. Marie was born in Waltham on October 9, 1916, a daughter of the late Frank and Angelina (Giminarda) Giuliano. She was a lifelong resident of Waltham and until retirement worked as a receptionist in the Radiology Department at Waltham Hospital. She was very active at her home parish, Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted Church, and had been a Eucharistic minister and past president of the Ladys Guild. She also helped start the PTA at the former Newhall School. She loved to stay in touch with family and friends and sent old fashioned letters to everyone but was also on Facebook, playing Words with Friends when she couldnt sleep. She was the ultimate host and was happiest when her family was together under one roof. Growing up the entire family would sleep at her house on Christmas Eve so they could all share in the joy morning would bring the grandkids. She was the wife of the late Attilio D. Vinciullo and Alphonse Vitale and is survived by her daughter, Jeanne Seaquist and her husband, David, of Waltham; her grandchildren, Jaye Foucher of Thornton, New Hampshire, David Foucher and his husband, Kevin Kline, of Dedham and Dan Foucher and his wife, Dawn, of Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina and her great-granddaughter Kenley Kline-Foucher and also leaves several cousins. She was also the sister of the late Angelina Vallucci. Family and friends will honor and remember Marie's life by gathering for calling hours on Wednesday, January 29th from 4 to 8 p.m. and again at 9 a.m. on Thursday morning before leaving in procession to Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted Church, 880 Trapelo Road, Waltham where her Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Burial will follow in Calvary Cemetery, Waltham.

Point Blank Pioneer DJ skills
There is so much talk about controller A or controller B that we forget that we don't need computers to play music or even DJ in front of a crowd. We are stuck on this idea that with a computer we have access to all the music in the world – but we forget that music is no good to a DJ if you don't know the songs inside and out. The art of DJing begins with the art listening. DJs used to buy a vinyl record, bring it home, and actually listen to it over and over. Even if the song is brand new to them – they can still learn about its structure and its sound. Having thousands of songs ready for you in one second is nice, but not knowing the song doesn't help your cause.
For this reason and many others, I don't see DJs just throwing away their CDJs and switching to the laptop solution. A CDJ may have a smaller capacity to hold and retrieve music, but the fact that it takes longer to find a song can be a good thing. Your choices are more thought out and deliberate, meaning that you have already screened the songs in your mind.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
Inside Story | 29 Nov 2010 14:25 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, United States
" />
WikiLeaks is the name of probably the world's most famous whistleblowing website. But such is the size and force of what it is doing these days, that it is becoming much more than that. It has triggered a huge debate over what we should and should not know, how that information should be handled, and whether a so-called classified document actually means anything any more. Wikileaks is about to rock the US government again, as well as potentially governments across the world, with three million new leaked US files. And for the first time it is classified diplomatic material: less-than flattering comments about governments abroad that were meant to remain off-the-record. Not surprisingly, the US has got some big concerns, because the consequences for American interests could be severe.
As the US braces itself for another wiki-leak, what will come from the release of millions more classified US documents? Will it really endanger lives as the US claims, and how will it impact international relations?
Joining the programme are Matthew Duss, a national security analyst at the Centre for American Progress, Jason Johnson, a political editor for the Source Magazine and a professor of political science at Hiram College, and Charlie Wolf, a political commentator and radio host.
This episode of Inside Story aired from Sunday, November 28, 2010.
