+ - Weight Loss Protein Found->
Submitted by Whiteox
Whiteox writes: "SYDNEY researchers have discovered how to switch on and off a molecule which controls hunger. The protein, MIC-1 which is created in the body of cancer patients, targets the brain to switch off appetite. The MIC-1 antibody would improve appetite in patients with weight loss from chronic renal failure or anorexia nervosa. Scientists expect the synthetic protein could be on the market within six years. Professor Sam Breit, one of the researchers from St Vincent's Centre for Immunology stated, "Once the MIC-1 is turned off with the antibody, weight gain can be quite rapid, enabling people to tolerate and survive treatment,"
... "A synthetic version of MIC-1 would also allow morbidly obese people to lose weight rapidly." he said.
Is this the end of obesity as we know it?"

Dr. Margo Seltzer's Keynote at RICON East
June 24, 2013
Over 300 attendees gathered at RICON East for two days to hear talks from all different industries. One talk that attracted a particularly large crowd was the opening keynote. Dr. Margo Seltzer, Herchel Smith Professor of CS at Harvard University, presented the keynote, "Automatically Scalable Computing."
In this talk, she discusses how computational infrastructure has been able to scale into increasingly parallel multi-core and blade-based systems; however, the ability to easily produce software that can successfully exploit such systems has continued to stumble. She then presents trajectory-based execution, a radical approach for achieving automatic scalability. This groundbreaking research has achieved surprisingly good speedup in limited domains and has enormous potential. You can watch her full talk below:

Her slides are also below:

I hope all of my fellow Falcons are starting to get back into the swing of things with the progression of the new year. This week doesn't offer the usual case of chaos, but we still have a few events to tend to. Monday, January 14, was the night of the Spelling Bee at the courthouse. Ingomar entered three competitors. Sam Sanders of the fourth grade , Rebecca Owens of the fifth grade, and Chance Mayo of the eighth grade, competed in the event. Thursday, January 17, The Junior High Union County Tournament will begin at West Union. The Ingomar girls play that night against East Union. The Boys will play Monday, January 21. Results will be announced at a later time. FBLA competition will take place on Thursday, January 17, at ICC in Tupelo. Ingomar would like to wish our 39 students who will be competing the best of luck in this event. There will be a Booster club meeting on Thursday, January 17, in the library at 6:00. All members are encouraged to attend. Those are the major events on the agenda this week for Ingomar. Joshua 24:15 says: "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Joshua didn't ask anyone about serving God. He knew that he was going to serve God no matter what anyone thought. A time is coming for every person to choose who they will serve. My prayer is that anyone and everyone who reads this article will choose God. I hope everyone has a great week. God Bless You!!!

Hot Tub Benefits: What the Ancient Greeks Knew
Today, the benefits of hot tub use are undisputed, but few people truly understand why. Here are just a few of the amazing benefits to be gained from a soak, and why the ancient Greeks prioritized the bubbly.
Heat Is Often the Solution
In ancient Greece, temperatures in baths reached upwards of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. It was clear how elevated heat impacted the body, relaxing muscles and joints, improving circulation, even increasing appetite.
The Therapeutic Powers of Hot Tub Use
The Greeks believed in the healing power of natural hot springs. A proven strategy for beating insomnia, easing chronic pain, even reducing symptoms of Type II diabetes, regular hot tub use provides tremendous benefits.
Calm, Soothe and De-stress Naturally
The overall effect of soaking in hot water is relaxation. A quick twenty minutes is all it takes to calm, soothe and de-stress from the comforts of home.
To learn more about the benefits of owning a hot tub, pick up a copy of our free hot tub buyer's guide… "7 Critical Questions You Must Ask Before You Buy a Hot Tub" Just give us a call at 515-270-8702 or visit our website at http://hotspringgreen.com

Wayne Jett – Higher Gas prices!, WHY?
Economist and Author of The Fruits of Graft: Great Depressions Then and Now
Have you had your healthy dose of reality lately?
There are always at least two sides to every story. Have you ever wondered how someone, who saw the same thing you did, walked away telling a vastly different story? Which version was correct? Which one was the REAL story? Actually, both are! It's just a matter of perspective.
Joe takes the issues… especially the controversial issues (politics, prejudice, religion, illegal immigration)… and brings in people from different sides to share their viewpoint. This is definitely not a fluff piece. And while no one is attacked, the questions are hard-hitting.
But the conversation is always respectful and you're sure to learn something new, even if you don't agree!
If you've always wondered how the "other side" thinks and how they've arrived at their "stand", then this is the show for you!
It's not the right side, it's not the wrong side, but the REAL side of the issues!
Executive Orders for climate change and gas emissions started under republicans
in Politics
Executive orders for regulating gas emissions did not start with President Obama. The Supreme Court gave the EPA legal authority to regulate green house gas and other emissions under the Clean Air Act. As a result President Bush took action ahead of Congress by using Executive Orders to regulate gas emissions in cars and trucks.

Stillwater SkinRead MoreAmy Haugen was hesitant when she started mixing lotion with cranberry seed oil in her garage in 2007. Little did she know it would not only make her skin radiant, but also jumpstart a new business venture. After seeing the results on her own skin, Haugen handed it out to her friends in takeout salad dressing cups. From there, Haugen, a licensed esthetician with over 25 years experience, started Stillwater Skin and has created 29 products including body lotions and eye gels. At Stillwater Skin, they use the healing properties of cranberry seed oil to provide toxin-free, certified vegan skin care products. These all-natural products infuse skin with vitamins, antioxidants, and polyunsaturated fats that leave skin hydrated and vibrant. She and her team continue to do everything themselves, from crafting lotions to hand-delivering their products to clients throughout the St.Paul area. The skin specialists at Stillwater Skin also rejuvenate skin with exfoliating microdermabrasion treatments and brow waxes. Their photofacials use broadband light to treat sun damage caused by years of UV bullying.5525 Memorial Ave. NStillwater, MN US

The puppies are doing great. Medium colored and one light colored. Both Anney and I were shocked to have one that light. Genetics...it is a crazy thing! I was thinking of darker pups which I know they will darken up.
Daddy Fisher and Mommy Remi would like to show off their beautiful Fishies...or duckies! Enjoy! There will plenty more to come...not much to take photos of right now!

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba — A former cook for Osama bin Laden's entourage in Afghanistan has reached a secret agreement with the U.S. government that lets him serve his sentence at a minimum-security facility at Guantanamo Bay, according to statements by lawyers at a military commission Monday.
Ibrahim al-Qosi, 50, a native of Sudan who worked for bin Laden for years before the Sept. 11 attacks, pleaded guilty last month to conspiracy and material support for terrorism as part of a pretrial agreement. The case marked the first conviction at Guantanamo Bay under President Barack Obama, whose administration had promised that reformed military commissions would offer greater due process and more transparency.
But the government and the defense, with the blessing of Judge Nancy Paul, an Air Force lieutenant colonel, have sealed the newly reached agreement, including the maximum sentence that Qosi can serve.
A spokesman for the military commission's prosecutors, Navy Capt. David Iglesias, refused to explain why the agreement was kept secret, except to say the plea raises "security issues" and is to the benefit of both Qosi and the government.
A defense lawyer would also not discuss the agreement.
Al-Arabyia, an Arab news network based in Dubai, cited anonymous sources to report last month that the plea agreement calls for a two-year sentence.
Three detainees were convicted at Guantanamo under the Bush administration, and two have since been released. The trial of Omar Khadr, the youngest detainee at Guantanamo, is scheduled to start this week.
Khadr, a Canadian citizen, was 15 when he was captured in 2002. He is accused of killing a Special Forces medic in Afghanistan with a grenade.

Check Out These Elders' Awestruck Reaction to Experiencing Virtual Reality For the First Time: VIDEO
With practical and convincing virtual reality devices having emerged on the scene in just the past couple of years, the whole concept of VR continues to awe even the youngest and most tech-savvy among us.
And so it's no surprise that these folks who grew up with rotary phones and black and white televisions are completely stunned, baffled, (and occasionally terrified) when they put on an Oculus Rift headset and are instantly transported to a Tuscan villa, an amusement park, and a horror house.
"This is the damnest thing I've ever saw. Man, it was neat"
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...
What's so frequently overlooked in stories like these is that we "elders" have seen more technological advances in our lifetimes than any other generation in human written history.
We invented the internet, the web, and almost all of the technology so many people in their 20s take for granted, even while they insult us as being too "old".

What if all the dumb older people who are almost always in a position to do the hiring just stopped hiring all the young people?
Posted by: phil | Aug 29, 2014 11:26:24 AM
I really don't get why the Oculus Rift is getting so much hype lately. Companies have been trying to market these same things for twenty years, and they always fail because they make people sick. People aren't going to change, so these will continue to fail in the market.

I don't get it. How is this any different from the way anyone, old or young, would react to seeing VR for the first time? I found it nauseating, 10 yrs ago in a research lab.

"Elders" grew up with rotary phones and black-and-white TVs. Therefore, they must not have color tVs and cell phones today? Because you never experience any technology beyond that with which you grew up? Not really following the logic. I am pretty sure that some of these "elders" have kept up on the news or seen science fiction movies over the last 30 years and are familiar with the concept of VR.
Posted by: Jen | Aug 31, 2014 1:49:14 PM
I'm very happy to see the positive reaction from the older generation when they trying out the Oculus Rift. I have my utmost respect to them because what we enjoy today is due to their hardwork, suffering and tears. Imagine creating all those stuff without using "Google".

Cold Snap Delays Maryland Crabbing Season
By editor
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Punxsutawney Phil has his counterpart in the average Maryland crab - except while Phil supposedly predicts the weather and this year missed a cold snap, Maryland crabs react in real time. This week was supposed to be the start of crabbing season but the chill in the Chesapeake has left the water too cold for the crabs to come out of the mud. It turns out this is extending their life spans - since it means watermen can't catch them. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Comments about BODYFIT Ankle/Wrist Weights - 5-pound Pair:
I feel like these weights are excellent for beginners and those wanting light weight to tone and sculpt. However, I feel like the weights were to big for my wrist and ankles no matter how tight I adjusted for. The Velcro could only go so far so I'd definitely recommend ankle only since that was the more comfortable fit or another product altogether.

It's always appalled me how often Bloch gets ignored or dismissed when the topic of PSYCHO comes up . . . .
Bloch's character was loosely based on Ed Gein, IIRC.
Loosely. But Bloch invented the Bates Motel, the shower scene, the fact that Norman thinks he's his own mother, the fact that the seeming protagonist, Marion Crane, is abruptly killed off early on . . . all stuff that movie critics and journalists routinely credit to Hitchcock.
("Only Hitchcock would be bold enough to kill off the heroine a third of the way through the movie!"--despite the fact that this was straight from the novel.)
A few months ago, when the 50th anniversary of the movie rolled around, there was a flurry of gushing articles about the movie--and you really had to search to find any reference to Bloch. At best he got a subordinate clause or parenthetical aside. Usually, he's treated as a footnote.
And just
to find Bloch's name in the credits of the remake. It's buried in small type in the closing credits, alongside the key grip and the caterer.

Neighborhood: City Centre
Cuisine: Indian
The trend towards buffet restaurants, offering all you can eat for a fixed price, continues at pace in Newcastle, but this venture is the first in the city to serve Indian food. The menu provides a running buffet of dishes, constantly refreshed and renewed throughout the day. In an effort to create a modern feel, the owners have decided against the more traditional heavy curtains and flock wallpaper, and gone for a light, airy ambiance with pale wooden floors, shiny chrome, and lots of space. If you like Indian food, and don't mind serving yourself, then give the place a try.

NEW ORLEANS - Over a period of seven weeks, more than 350 signs with word 'Love' in red capital letters have popped up all over the metro area.
Once you spot it, it is hard to miss. It is the mystery behind that one simple word that has caught people's eyes.
'It can mean so many things to different people, but I do think it's typically a good thing to love and be love,' says Desiree Andreski.
'I think it speaks to the power of that one word,' says Daniel Thelen. 'That one word can lift your spirit in any way it needs to in that moment.'
From Magazine Street to Robert E. Lee Boulevard and just about everywhere in between, you will find love signs like this one posted up around town, but the question on everyone's mind is who is behind it and why?
'Yea, I would like to know who did it and how, especially how,' says Ian Collishaw. 'It's like a magic trick because they just popped out of nowhere.'
'Probably more than one person, absolutely,' says Thelen. 'It's probably a group of people who wanted to pull this off.'
But what does it mean? That too has people scratching their heads.
'I have no idea, there are so many definitions of love,' says Collishaw. 'Personally I think there is no meaning, there is only the interpretation because there is no context.'
While others are happy to leave it open to interpretation.
'I do think that the mystery behind it is good, so it has specific meaning to each person, whatever they get from it,' says Andreski.
No matter what the theories are or how it is interpreted one thing is for sure, everyone loves a mystery.
The two-man team behind the cause say they want to remain anonymous.
They started back in April as a way to give back to the community and they decided to do that by spreading a positive message in areas where violent crimes were committed in 2013.
In fact, they used NOPD crime maps to plan exactly where they wanted to put up the signs.

Marines invite educators to some 'basic training'
Later the recruits will be allowed to express their individuality again, he said, once they have the tactical, leadership, and organization skills to function as good, strong independent members of a team. "We are not looking to train drones. They're not very good on the battlefield."
Two-thirds of Marines serve only one enlistment, because the Corps needs a constant churn of 18- to 23-year-old privates, Huenefeld said: "That's what fights wars," not 57-year-old officers like himself.
But the Marines are having no trouble finding new leathernecks. In fact, the military has been riding a recruitment boom despite the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In October the Pentagon announced that for the first time in more than 35 years, all active duty, guard and reserve units of the military met their annual recruiting goals. The economic recession helped boost the numbers, as well as about $10,000 spent per recruit on advertising and other overhead costs, and bonuses averaging about $14,000 for 40 percent of recruits.
This year the budget for recruiting and re-enlistment bonuses is dwindling, but the trend continues: in June, each branch met 100 percent of its recruiting goals.
Three years ago Congress authorized a growth in the size of the active duty Marine Corps from 176,00 to 202,000. It was supposed to take until 2012 to grow the force, but the Marines did it in 18 months, Huenefeld said.
The Marines, with their relatively smaller force, had been making their enlistment goals before unemployment hit double digits, Huenefeld noted. "It's not just that," he said. "I think it is generational and an unfulfilled need to serve something bigger than themselves."
As the wars wind down, the Marine Corps is expected to shrink in size, and tighten enlistment standards further. As it stands, they can afford to be choosy.
The western region sends about 17,000 recruits a year (about half the Marine Corps total) to the San Diego depot, where about 7 percent to 10 percent wash out before graduation. Most months recruiters fill their slots by the 15th.
Even the Army, which had dramatically lowered its recruiting standards several years ago to accept more low test-scorers, the overweight, and even felons, raised them again last year.
Student slackers who think they can turn to the Marine Corps as a backstop are mistaken, Huenefeld warned the educators. Many young people probably wouldn't be allowed into the Corps under today's standards, he said. High school dropouts and drug addicts need not apply. Numerous traffic tickets? Tattoos bigger than the palm of your hand? Forget it.
Today the Marines want "the cream of the crop, the nation's treasure," Huenefeld said.
Later that day the educators double-stepped to the chow hall, the drill instructors barking the whole way, where the group dined with some of the 5,800 recruits living at the depot during their 12 weeks of training.
Recruit Eric Powell, 25, from San Diego, told his lunch mates, "I would never consider being an officer. You need leaders in the infantry too — I consider myself perfect for that. I am a little older, I don't want another desk job."

Like the loving Father He is, He wants to see His children grow stronger and climb higher in the Spirit. He knows that challenges make us press beyond the routines of our daily existence. He knows that challenges often make us cry out to Him for help, and that's a cry He wants to hear. Whether we totally achieve the goal set before us isn't always the issue. What matters is that we give our best, and when we do that God fills in the rest. The truth is challenges bring spiritual growth and strength, and that is something which will benefit us all. As we strive and strain, struggle and push to meet the challenges God puts before us, we will mature in God's wisdom and strength.

Heads Up! We're Going Down... Tips & Inspirations
"The art of swallowing follows the same rule for controlling the gag reflex. With practice, swallowing and breathing make it much easier to guide the flow of his cum directly down the passage of your throat. Whether you are using a condom or swallowing, don't stop your rhythm when he cums. You can bring him to an incredible standing ovation with multiple orgasms. Well, maybe his knees will be too weak to stand, but he'll be applauding you for sure." How to Give a Blow Job
"Throughout the act of cunnilingus, partners play out a song and dance. Givers will need to rely on reading their partners' body language for clues indicating pleasure. When your partner is too deep in rapture to speak, feel confident that clear body signals can be understood. Once orgasm is inevitable, many people it is best to stay with a single stroke and continue to do whatever you are doing. Do not experiment with a new stroke -- it often interrupts her arousal."

Summer Reading
To Skidmore's Class of 2019,
Welcome to the Skidmore First Year Experience. This website is a way of fostering discussion about the summer reading selection within our community—even before you arrive on campus in August. The site will be updated frequently, so keep checking back in. And, as you read, formulate your own thoughts about the book; discuss them with your families and friends, as we are doing ourselves; and, then, bring your thoughts to campus when you move to Saratoga to begin your college career.
During the academic year Skidmore will host a series of discussions, readings, lectures,
and performances connected to some of the issues addressed by the reading(s). We invite
you to attend and continue the exploration of our chosen reading(s).
The 2015 Summer Reading will be announced in the late spring.

We're super flattered Tao dedicated a page to us, and we love what they do! Thanks Tao!
Take a peek at our most recent MOSCOT window at Observatory in London! Located on Muswell Hill Broadway, Observatory is situated in the heart of all the shopping action. This is in a very old part of London so a MOSCOT window is rather fitting! We just love Observatory and think they did a fantastic job! Cheers to the Observatory team!

It was a foggy, stormy night in NYC's Lower East Side on October 19th. Actually, the fog was coming from a machine inside the The MOSCOT Gallery and Music Space, and the storm was more like light rain -- definitely not enough to stop fans of French Horn Rebellion and Avan Lava to come and party it up with us in celebration of CMJ Music Marathon!
Avan Lava and French Horn Rebellion put on an amazing show! Avan Lava blew us away with their colorful costumes, crazy light show, and of course, fun music. French Horn Rebellion did the same with their 80's pop disco sound that got the crowd dancing and singing. MOSCOT fans were lucky enough to have our friends, Savoir Adore, back as part of FHR's band!
French Horn Rebellion's song, "This Moment" was the anthem of the night - all about sharing a great moment - which is exactly what we all did! We couldn't have ask for a better night of MOSCOT Music!

Whenever you die in the game, you will hear a heartbeat slowing down. The game closes on itself and does not crash.This mechanic is part of the game, simply run the game again and load a savegame. The game is automatically saved.
Dark Cell is a platform horror puzzle game. I started the development a few weeks ago after being inspired by ghost stories. You play a role of a prisoner who wakes up and tries to escape the prison. As you progress through the game, the secret of the prison will slowly unveil...
The game will feature various levels. In each level your task is to escape and move on. To do this, you will need to solve various puzzles, use objects from the environments, etc.
You follow the story of a prisoner who was sentenced to 10 years of prison for robbing a bank and wounding several hostages. Although you pledged yourself not guilty, you had no other choice but to serve those 10 years. 6 years after your arrival to the prison and just 'doing your time', you wake up and find yourself in a strange room without any knowledge on what happened. You didn't lose memory or had an amnesia. It seems like everyone disappeared. With nothing but an old flashlight , there is finally a chance to escape...and find out what in God's name happened...

This is my go to pack for day hikes and mountain biking. Love the all of the internal pockets for organizing my gear and the 18L is the perfect size for some tools, a light shell and lunch. Pack rides very well and with the osprey guarantee you can't go wrong.
Very lightweight and well made. Love the included hydration res, including the nice handle for filling. Also love all of the mesh pockets and little hides holes for tools or whatever...makes an awesome bag for the mountain biker! The only thing I don't like is the version of the air mesh on this pack compared to other osprey packs. This one rests against you back, but is meshy and corrugated to allow breathing, as opposed to other oslreys that are suspended off of your back by a thin, taught mesh. This one will be cooler than some, but not as cool as my other osprey.
I spent months trying on backpacks for bike commuting and this is by far the most comfortable backpack I've ever worn. I'm female, 5'4" 125 lbs and the small is perfect. I use it every day for my 6 mile bike commute and then put the hydration bladder in for day hikes. I love that you can stick the bladder in without having to open up the main compartment of the bag.
This is by far the best bike specific pack out there. It has plenty of organized pockets and the stuff pocket is great for quick dismissal of an outer layer when needed. The hydration pack is great, water flows easily and the magnetic clip is ingenious! Perfect for the biking or hiking daytrip. The m/l fit perfect even with having broad shoulders and the compression straps make for a nice secure load. I have no real complaints about this pack and has out-performed my previous camelbak easily.
Okay, so I bought this for my husband. I don't get the whole hydration pack thing, maybe you are a wife who doesn't either, but move past that and get one for your husband always. He will look so cute running around with it on in the backyard sucking on the little straw thing (at least my husband does!). Let them play "survivalist" now and laugh a little, but just wait, maybe someday they will drag us behind them in a really survival situation and let us drink out of their funny water backpack. But seriously, it looks quite awesome and sturdy and he loves it!
I do quite a bit of hiking and mountain biking and this pack is top notch. I am still discovering storage space that I never new was there! I have pretty much ditched my day pack and use this for everything except overnighters. Depending on what you have in it, it can be a bit heavy for biking, but I have a big frame and have had no issues. I would advise the smaller folk to go with a smaller version. Loved it!
The organizer pockets helped my granola bars from getting beat up by my multi-tool, and kept my camera by the opening for a quick deployment in case I ran across Bigfoot. I stuffed my rain coat into the stretchy shove-it compartment and I could barely tell it was there. The bio-stretch fabric truly is some cool stuff, it moves just like john Travolta no matter what your going for. All in all, it's a pretty sweet backpack, but that not even including the hydra-form reservoir!!! I can honestly saw Osprey and Nalgene have taken to a new level... They have fixed literally every problem I have ever encountered with bladder systems.

I loved the JR Ward books! The vampires in her stories are much deeper and more interesting than in the Stackhouse books.
Each one is deeply flawed, each one has a darkness in them, each one has had a very hard life etc... I really loved her books.
I'm reading the Dark (Carpathian) series now by Christine Feehan and Im really enjoying them. There are like 20 of them in the series so, I'm guessing they're going to get formulaic but, so far, I love them. They have a very interesting twist on the whole vampire thing.

Anyone else not like the new setup
I love the new site. It has less of a cluttered feel. However, I wish that there was a "logout" button.
Oh, my thought also. But I have a feeling that will probably be coming.
on your homepage you'll find this:
New Feedback Link
Posted November 18, 2008 - 8:48am by kandace
We're spending an hour or two fixing up the site each day and are coming quite a long way with functionality (which is our focus before moving to the visual fixes).
You'll now see a small link on the bottom right of each page that says feedback. If you experience a bug or would like to see an addition on the current page, feel free to leave us a message there - this way we'll be sure to see it! Thanks to each of you who have already used this feature (look, recent forum posts are back in the sidebar). We are listening and are excited to be putting together a Gone Raw that will be better than ever!
Also, we are putting the finishing touches on the new add recipe feature before putting it live on the site. Hopefully, you'll find this much easier to do than before. If any of you have a recipe you've been wanting to post and are in an adventurous mood, we'd love to hear your feedback. Here is the link to add a recipe:
Thanks for all of your help and patience!
i enjoyed many of the visuals on gone raw too
and it is apparent by the above text
that the visuals will be the LAST thing added back.
be thankful
change happens
Here's a temporary logout fix:
Add the "logout" link Ray provided several days ago to your Profile. When you're ready to log out, click on your name on "Who's Around" and then click on the logout link. Problem solved. When we evolve to a more polished homepage, I figure Kandace and Ray will add this feature. In the interim, this works fine.
Here's the logout link: http://goneraw.com/logout
I do truly appreciate the time Ray and Kandace are putting
into Gone Raw. I recently used the feedback to ask how
to log out/off.
I used the search and found this thread...
I feel silly now.
*emtpdmom* -
I missed the "logout link" Ray provided.
Could you explain how I add the "logout" link
to my profile? Don't mean to be computer illiterate,
but I must be over looking something.
For now I am just coming back to this thread and
using the link you provided to logout.
Thanks in advance for your help. :)
*Ray and Kandace*
Such a minor detail...I apologize for disturbing you.
In comparison to what you are doing for all of us right
now...it is minor. Thanks for taking the time. :)
Have a Giving and Thankful Day Everyone!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Whoa people chill! lol
Let me put it to you guys like this.
I'm an internet marketer and I can tell you now that other "raw foodists" or people who claim to be such, put sites like this together with less people, not half as decent recipes and charge $30-50 a month and people actually pay that much for this information.
I kid you not.
Ray and Kandace could easily charge a membership fee AND charge advertisers to go on here due to the volume of traffic here. In effect, this raw site is probably the biggest site out there and so has massive potential.
But being the kind people they are, they have not charged you for the pleasure of being here.
The recipes here alone would fill over 100 + books, which would cost you A LOT of money to go to Amazon and buy yourself.
Just stop and ponder on this and realize the enormous generosity displayed here.
I personally am thoroughly grateful.
SimplyRaw, I must give credit for this idea to Waterbaby12347. She's quite creative. She's also added the link for adding a recipe to her bio. I anticipate that we will not need these links in the future.
To add a link to your Profile:
1. Highlight and copy the link.
2. Access your profile.
3. Click "Edit." Click "Personal Information."
4. Paste the link you copied in #1 somewhere within your bio.
I chose to insert the log out link at the bottom like this: To log out: http://goneraw.com/logout
5. Save your changes.
emtpdmom -
Thanks for the step by step instructions.
Much appreciated!!!
Waterbaby12347 - I send thankful thoughts out
to you as well. Thanks!!
Thank you both for helping!! :)
emtpdmom, thank you for all of your help, it is so nice that you take the time to help people through everything and to let people know that things are on the way to something great! :) It's nice to hear someone responding to people's questions in a positive way instead of a negative way. It's ok for people to ask questions, we are all here to help with questions and that is what makes goneraw such a super site. I am a firm believer that people should not be afraid to ask questions about anything, they should not have to be worried that people will judge them harshly because of a question they had posted, with so many forum topics going on each day, it's easy for answers to be embedded in another discussion...so thank you again for helping people out, you are much appreciated :)
Thank you also docrona for all of that info, it's a big help!
I haven't been by in awhile and am totally disappointed.
Rawmama, thank you for your kind words. I tell my students the only stupid question is the one they refuse to ask. As a teacher, I enjoy empowering students to seek their own answers. Hopefully the hints we've been discovering, gathering and posting will help people become more comfortable and successful in navigating the site.
Pizchuckle, I don't know how long it's been since you checked in to the site. I DO hope you will take some time to explore the new features. Obviously, Kandace and Ray are still revamping the site and have not put on the finishing touches. There are apparently a number of upgrades still to come. If navigating around the site and searching for topics and recipes is a concern, please check out this link: http://www.goneraw.com/forum/site-use-tips-and-hints. While a lot of the "glitz" is still missing, the site is now very stable, and the Advanced Search RAWks!
As Docrona said a couple of days ago:
be thankful
change happens
While I appreciate all the hard work, and especially appreciate your providing this wonderful site for free...
I have to agree, I really miss the old site. The great pictures on the home page, easy accessibility to everything, the readable text, the ability to search the recipes section separately.
I hope this site is still in transition and some of those features will come back.
As someone who designs websites, I know how important feedback is. "Get with users" is the motto. So I hope Kandace and Ray will take all our comments in the spirit of community and appreciation with which they are offered.
i truly understand missing the beautiful photos and stuff on the old site.
i am guessing a lot will come back in time in it's own new way (or old way)
the site is still really functional
and i found all my saved recipes
i agree it's totally ok to ask any question
we all have lots to learn
in one way or another
i thoroughly enjoy this site and really missed it when i was not able to even get on at all. i'm thankful it's here as a resource and community.
that being said
i'm happy to help in any way i can.
and like raw recruit stated above, there ARE people making money hosting sites less full and more blingy.
so, thanks.
Yeah, I don't care for this setup, either. It makes everything harder to find.
I can appreciate everyone's position here. I was in the software business for 14 years. Whenever you replace a software product, there is always a frustration with the learning curve. This scenario presents more user challenges because unlearning what you are accustomed to and orienting yourself with a new product, especially where the feature installation is evolving, is more confusing than learning a product from scratch.
Frustration is a natural part of the process. Having been on both ends of this fact pattern, the process is more frustrating when you are installing and tweaking the software than just using it.
What I miss most, that I hope will resolve itself, is the disappearance of so many of the previously regular members that made up the GR neighborhood. Agree with them or not, it was an interesting and mostly nice mix of people.
Yes and no. I mean, I will always have troubles with a new lay-out, always. I had to teach myself to read when I was a kid, so it's not like I'm the brightest bulb in the pack.
But I have total faith in Kandace and Ray, and they're not finished with the new site, yet.
My only true problem is that the text seems very "light", and it's terrifyingly hard for me to read. However, that could just be me.
I agree rawmama ...I miss the old gone raw home page immensely. I would click on this site several times a day to get my 'fix' of raw recipes. The home page was a haven for me ...soothing just to see it. I tried many recipes from the "favorites" pictured -- which I may not have tried otherwise. Could tell at a glance if there were new recipes, and I loved to read the intro about each one. Sometimes I only had a minute or two to spend, but could see what was new and could find what I wanted quickly. Now, when I come to this site it is just 'ho hum' words -- no warm and welcoming pictures - no special uniqueness about it at all. so disappointing. I feel like I've lost a good friend.
I realize the recipes are still here, and am appreciative of that for sure. But it just isn't the same --- the warm and welcoming nature is gone.
Pics of food are part of what made this site awesome.
While I think it's very cool that they've been adding other stuff, I must say that I'll probably be less inclined to visit the site so often if the pics don't resurface.
I'm pretty sure Kandace and Ray said the pictures would be fixed. Thanks for all your hard work, I can imagine it's not a pleasant task :)
I don't like it but I hope when the transition is done that things won't be so bad. I like looking at the pictures when viewing recipes and now I can't seem to find pictures at all. I found out yesterday how to do the advance search. It does make searching for recipes easier but even when I selected the pictures option, no pictures showed up. I think it's great that they are upgrading the site and even if I don't like the new format, I'll continue to come here.
We are reading your comments and listening to feedback, definitely. The change was big, yes. But, honestly, the former site just wasn't stable enough and was often down. Our very first concern is creating a site that is there for you at all times - whenever you need to find and make a recipe. We think we've done that.
Now, we're moving on to the fit and finish of the site. You'll see we've started applying the new look and adding in many of the features that have been requested lately: easier to read text, login and logout buttons on every page, more apparent advanced search, and so on.
As designers, we miss the pretty pictures and home page, too. We're doing our best to bring those back, but do want to make sure that everything is working well as we go along.
Patience, friends.
I almost commented a few days ago about how I didn't like the new look. I am glad I waited, because I am happy with today's changes!
Thank you for all of the hard work.
One question though, how can I find my own recipes? There used to be a folder on my profile, but now I can't find them.
Daniefon, your recipes are behind the "Track" tab on your profile, as well as the forums you have started and those on which you have posted. They're mixed together, and are arranged chronologically by most recent activity (postings).
There are some additional site use hints and tips on this thread: http://www.goneraw.com/forum/site-use-tips-and-hints
hi daniefon..there is a feature on the recipe tab in the header..if you go to 'recipes' and click on the word 'name' on the top of the list, you can sort in ascending or descending order by the authors name. currently your recipes appear on pages 30 and 31 :)...as far as i know when the site is done our published recipes should be on our profiles again:)
you can also sort by date, title, or rating if you click on those:)
Thank you! During the transition, I used the track tab, but then I lost it. I will try both the track and recipe sorting trick.
