Haven't written a post for so long… were to start?!
Health and fitness is still a key theme to my life – about 97 kg these days but ALOT stronger than I was in post-Dukan, and I am running the fastest I have ever ran… so not particularly fussed.
Haven't done much in the way of SDR etc. since graduating – full time work, part time masters, gym and spending my time and money travelling these days.
Just made the decision to keep this site open for another year… really need to figure out what I want to do with it.
Hopefully make another post soon about something cool/interesting/informative.

North Central College's mission to integrate sustainability into all facets of campus life reached another milestone this week with the installation of state-of-the-art, solar thermal panels to its newest residence hall.
North Central College has been recognized as a bronze-level institution for its commitment to adopting and fulfilling environmental goals through the Illinois Campus Sustainability Compact.
Results are in—and they're good! Project Move Out 2014 helped reduce overall waste as members of the North Central College campus community moved out of residence hall rooms, offices and more at the end of 2013-2014 academic year.
Here's the good news: • 1,000-plus lbs. of electronics, from TVs to lamps, were recycled. • 721 square feet of carpet were set aside for recycling.• 600 lbs. of food were collected and donated to Loaves & Fishes Community Pantry.
North Central College's food composting program in Kaufman Dining Hall and The Cage was featured on the front page of the June 11 Daily Herald and online with video, photos and article. The video features North Central's program, exclusively, and emphasizes its success because of the involvement and enthusiastic support by North Central College students.
For the fourth consecutive year, North Central College has been included in "The Princeton Review's Guide to 332 Green Colleges: 2014 Edition."
With a rising interest among students in attending colleges that practice, teach and support environmentally responsible choices, the guide began publication in 2010 in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council's Center for Green Schools.
A sustainability project that modernized the lighting inside Gregory Arena and pool deck in Merner Field House will result in drastic reductions in energy consumption and maintenance costs in these facilities.
Over the winter months, new LED lights were installed with the help of $26,000 in grant funding from the Illinois Municipal Electric Agency through the City of Naperville toward the cost of the two projects. LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, a solid state form of lighting that converts electricity directly into light.
As part of its commitment to practice environmental responsibility, North Central College is using "green" alternatives to artificial holiday decorations.
DuPage County residents are invited to take part in a Recycling Extravaganza from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 5, at North Central College.
The event will take place in the parking lots behind North Central's Residence Hall/Recreation Center, 440 S. Brainard St., and Merner Field House, 450 S. Brainard St. The entrance to the lots is located where Porter Avenue intersects with Loomis Street. Volunteers will direct traffic and assist customers dropping off donations.
Brittany Graham, North Central College sustainability coordinator, was a featured speaker at a statewide composting conference held Feb. 7 at the Westin Hotel in Lombard. She talked about North Central's composting project at Kaufman Dining Hall as a successful model of waste reduction strategies.
As part of an ongoing effort to support sustainability values and actions into all aspects of campus life, North Central College has installed its first electric vehicle charging station, making it easier for members of the campus community to own and use electric cars.
The electric vehicle charging station is ready to use and situated on the sidewalk in the Old Main parking lot off Loomis Street. The station can charge two vehicles simultaneously in two adjacent parking spaces and may be used free of charge by any North Central College student, faculty, staff or campus visitor.
North Central College prepares students to be informed,
involved, principled and productive citizens and leaders over their lifetime.

These Blueberry Truffles for our monthly #blogfilmfood series didn't turn out exactly how I hoped but they were still pretty amazing.
Blueberry Truffles #blogfilmfood
I've mentioned more than once that I am not a recipe developer. I prefer to start with a recipe and modify it as I go along but for the #blogfilmfood posts I'd rather share a "real" recipe rather than a test from Pinterest. This month was a little more trouble than usual because I took more liberties with a recipe than I maybe should have but y'all the end result wasn't awful so I'm calling it mostly good.
Our movie was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and as soon as I found out, I decided it was time to try another truffle recipe because, chocolate! My favorite part of the movie is when Violet turns into a giant blueberry and the Oompa Loompas have to roll her off to get juiced. Chocolate and blueberry are a match made in heaven so I decided that a blueberry truffle would be a great idea.
It didn't occur to me that I would have any sort of issue with these so rather than doing small test batches I did one full batch. Yep, definitely not a recipe developer. When they didn't turn out quite right I thought about trying them again but y'all I have more than a dozen truffles still in the fridge, another dozen centers in the freezer and more ganache in the fridge.
I was a little bummed these didn't turn out exactly how I wanted them. I realized when I sat down to write this that our movie for the month was full of treats that hadn't been perfected and caused some serious side effects. Thankfully, these didn't shrink us or turn us into giant fruits so I'm calling it a great attempt and something that I'll eventually get just right.
Do you guys remember the Dark Chocolate Truffles I made around the holidays? The ganache was easy and turned out almost perfect so I started there.
I had a couple of open bags of chocolate chips so I used a combination of milk chocolate and semi sweet for the ganache (If I had to guess I would say half cup of semi-sweet and the rest milk chocolate). Normally I would have used all one kind but the bags were there, they were open and were equal to exactly 2 cups so it was meant to be, right?
I threw the chips in my ninja to break them down a bit because of a slight melting issue I had last time. It was a great idea but when I threw them back into the measuring cup it hit the 3 cup mark rather than the 2 cup.
Monday I shared a recipe for an amazing Blueberry Sauce that I told you I had an ulterior motive for. This is it y'all, I wanted to use it to flavor the centers of my truffles. I threw the sauce in the ninja and buzzed it up until it was as liquid as I could get it.
I combined 1/2 cup of pureed blueberry sauce with 1 cup of cream in a pan and heated it until it just boiled. The original truffle recipe used 1 cup of cream by itself. I made an illogical logic jump (ha, see what I did there?) and decided that since the chopped chocolate was 3 cups adding the extra 1/2 cup of blueberry puree would be fine. Makes total sense, right?
When the cream mixture was heated, I poured it over the chocolate and went after it with a whisk. When it was combined and the chocolate had melted down completely, it looked perfect. The texture was exactly what I wanted and I was thrilled.
Once it was mixed, I let it cool on the counter for half an hour or so then threw it in the fridge overnight to set. The next morning(ish), I took it out and started scooping. Last time, I figured out that the small cookie scoop was way too big for a truffle. I used a mini scoop for these and they were just about perfect.
The ganache was more gooey than I wanted it to be so next time I will cut down on the cream. It was harder to work with because it stuck to the silicone sheet. I had to scoop them and throw the whole pan in the freezer to set up again before I could roll them and put them back to set again.
Even frozen, these were sticky and hard to work with. Did I mention that next time I will cut back on the cream to keep them a little firmer?
I cheated a bit on the chocolate coating, instead of making it myself I used almond bark. Have y'all used that stuff? SO. EASY. It doesn't quite taste as good as homemade but it makes up for it in time and frustration saved and is one of my new favorite things.
Ready for the recipe? Remember, it's still a work in progress but maybe together we can whip it into shape!
- 2 Cups Chocolate Chips
- 1 Cup Whipping Cream
- 1/2 Cup Blueberry Sauce, pureed
- Almond Bark for Coating
- Coarsely chop chocolate, either in a food processor or by hand.
- Heat cream and pureed blueberry sauce until just boiling.
- Pour hot cream mixture over chopped chocolate and whisk slowly until chocolate is melted and mixture is combined.
- Let the mixture cool on the counter for half an hour then refrigerate overnight.
- Using a mini cookie scoop, roll centers in a ball then coat with chocolate.
This recipe is still in development. I recommend using a total of 1 cup liquid instead of 1 1/2 cups

"For all we know his skills may be excellent, allowing him to ride like an idiot without actually being one." - FBinNY
Not a problem, sorry I forgot to reply to your inquiry. Just one of those things that slipped through as the thread ballooned in page number.
I mainly cycle around my home state of Montana (that's where most of my friends, business connections, and relatives are (listed in that order for a reason) remember I'm a transportation cyclist primarily not so much a pleasure cyclist) but have gone into neighboring U.S. States and Canadian Providences as well, in order of level of experience: Idaho, Northern (especially North-Western) Wyoming, Southern Alberta, South-Eastern British Columbia, Southern Saskatchewan, North-Western South Dakota, Western North Dakota, and Eastern Oregon.
The greatest area of risk for a cyclist in my state of Montana to experience deliberate "territorial aggression" against them while on the roads I would say is the rural open areas of western Montana down in an arc into the southern middle of the state about as far east as Bozeman, the lowest risk for cyclist encountering such deliberate "territorial aggression" against them while on the roads in Montana I would say is the rural open areas of eastern Montana up into an arc to the middle north of the state until you come to the eastern edge of Glacier National Park. All the small dots of urban areas, the small towns and the big towns both east and west sides of the state are halfway inbetween on the risk scale.
There are of course certain particular hot spots and cold spots I'm aware of specifically but generally over all that is how it goes across my State. Sad but true. Using that as my standard of comparison for neighboring areas I've also cycled. Idaho in general is like Western Montana, rural areas are equally high risk and the risk goes down to just middle level risk factor for deliberate "territorial aggression" against you as a cyclist whenever you get into an urban area. Northern Wyoming, North-Western South Dakota, and Eastern Oregon are pretty low risk in the rural open areas just like Eastern Montana and the risk goes up to middle risk factor not down when you get into the scattered little spots of urban areas. North Dakota used to have a similar risk profile to Eastern Montana but unfortunately with the fracking boom its gotten a risk profile more and more like Western Montana.
Now the three Canadian Providences I have experience with I have found a considerable striking absence of the deliberate "territorial aggression" I've gotten used too dealing with but I would say that the careless factor is higher. The Canadian motorists I've dealt with in those areas don't seem to be willing to engage in any deliberate "territorial aggression" towards cyclists trying to force them to get off of "their roads", they just don't seem to care. Which is a double edge sword that cuts both ways, they don't care that your there and use the road too but they also don't care about anyone but themselves either.
Long Story Short, if I were to offer advise to some touring cyclist who was going from east coast to west coast or vic-a-versa across the northern top of the U.S. they might be better served by ducking around Idaho, Western Montana, and North Dakota by either going up and over on the Canadian side or dropping down under through South Dakota and Wyoming. If they were touring through Montana from east to west I would strongly advise them not to cross the rocky mountain divide using Hwy-2 that crosses the continental divide along the south edge of Glacier National Park. The road infrastructure situation on that narrow winding mountain pass is not good for mixing both cyclist and motorist traffic together in a situation with highly territorial aggressive motorists, its one of the "hot spots" in my opinion that should be avoided. Even if they were to widen up that road to provide consistent wide shoulder edges even then it would not be the best choice due the territorial aggression levels in that area. Believe it or not one of the best passes to cross the continental divide on as a cyclist is to ride the wide shoulder edge of I-90 (totally legal in Montana) and cross the continental divide at the Homestake Pass. Yes, riding the shoulder edge of the interstate does take a certain adjustment in technique especially when it comes to wisely handling each of the over/under passes and the exit and entry ramp situations but over all more often then not when I need to cycle across the state from east to west that's the route I prefer to take and for the most part its of considerable lower risk then the alternatives both overall and specifically for not being the target of a "My road !!! Get OFF !!!" deliberate territorial aggression from some motorists.
In addition it should be noted that the primitive territorial aggression capability is deeply ingrained in the entire human species and automobile operators with a "cager" mind set everywhere can be found who believe the roads are exclusively theirs and have at least territorial aggression feelings towards all other public right of way users whether they by pedestrians or cyclists or even motorcyclists and yes even other automobile operators. It's just a matter of how deep and wide those territorial aggression feelings go and how willing they are to act on them and how much they fear any consequences for doing so that makes the difference. I've heard horror stories from other hot spots around the country as well, quite a few out of Florida to name but one other example. So its certainly not just a Montana or Western issue but I do certainly agree that this area is certainly warmer then other places some areas down right hot spots.
Thanks so much for your detailed, albeit somewhat scary, response! I should have explained that I wasn't planning on bike-touring that area of the country as in a coast-to-coast trip. My wife and I have a small camper-van, and plan to hit Yellowstone, Glacier, and many other scenic spots shortly, and I will bring my bike and take some 20-60 mile rides here and there. Just wanted to know which areas might be "less safe" (i.e., there is some risk everywhere). I'm fortunate that in my rural area of Western NY State, the roads and shoulders are pretty good, and there aren't TOO many outwardly aggressive drivers like you describe. Run into them once a week or so, and of course, lotsa unattentive ones. That's bad enough, but what you describe in Western Montana in just way too much!
And no problem with not getting back to me right away; I do that all the time. : )
Regards, Dick
I agree. I find commuting by bike, far better than, being in a car.
BTW, does anyone have any input on cycling in the Western National Parks, such as Yellowstone & Glacier? I know you have to watch out for the guys towing big camper/RV trailers that forget how wide the trailer and/or their mirrors are, but other than that are things pretty slow and easy?
Thanks, Dick
My experience in Yellowstone is cycling in the early spring when cars are not allowed for a month or so, then via car in the summer and winter. I would not cycling Yellowstone in summer, the roads are narrow and mostly shoulder-less, and the drivers totally incompetent and distracted. And, BTW, Yellowstone may be my favorite place on earth. However, Grand Teton is more cycle friendly and ya might meet up w/a moose!

Nothing to add, except your post made this image pop into my head. Imagine being able to put all the components into the slots, tap your toes in impatience for a few minutes, then presto:the toaster i have now is basically unimproved from the toaster i bought ~20 years ago. i had no input into it's components. and even if i had selected it's components this would not have changed my toasting experience much.
Last edited by 905; 07-05-14 at 10:14 PM. Reason: turn the dial up to 11 and see what happens
About Yellowstone and Glacier parks specifically my experience backs up what the others have been saying, when the roads are only open to cyclists, peds., and horse back riders and the snow clearing crews in the spring they are great (although you still have to watch out for some inconsiderate or worse moves sometimes by some of those operating the heavy equipment and/or driving their automobiles up to the work sites but they are few and far between) no worries.
But in the Summer when the roads are open the risk factor can be a lot higher, not so much from deliberate malicious territorial aggression but rather a "fail to care" situation. I wouldn't go so far as to say don't do it, I'll personally travel almost any road anywhere by bicycle and I wouldn't necessarily consider those two national parks to be the most risky propositions.
The one main exception I would make to that statement would be the "Going To The Sun" road in Glacier. Riding that road on bicycle going uphill is one of the last options I would take not just due to the risk factor but due to the fact that I actually do care about other people and in many areas on that road it is too narrow for a threesome so a cyclist must take the lane to be riding in a half-way safe and sane manner. That combined with its short sight-lines, heavy traffic, and steep grade means if I were to travel it uphill by bicycle in the Summer when its open to automobile traffic I would have a hug line of very, very, very angry automobile drivers backed up behind me crawling along at 10-mph or less for hours !!! I'm not mean enough to do that. There is a shuttle bus service that you can ride up to the top and they do have bike racks on the bus - I USE IT !!! Riding that road going down hill is not a problem provided you have a bike with excellent brakes and are a good rider, you can hold your position in traffic downhill no problem and if you ride like your a motorcycle keeping up with everyone else on the downhill automobile drivers rarely take issue. And of course when the road is closed in the spring to automobile traffic and they are still clearing the snow at the top then I'll ride it both up and down on a bike.
When its Summer and open to automobile traffic, don't ride up hill on "Going to the Sun" road you will either have to hug the edge with your elbow nearly rubbing up against a rock wall you could get squashed against or on the other side of the pass you can look down and see shear cliff drop offs a foot or so to the right of you with automobiles including buses and motor-homes and such trying to pass you with oncoming traffic trying to squash you up against the rock wall or push you off the edge of the cliff. Or you can take the lane and end up with a long line of automobiles crawling behind you unable to pass and mad as hell for hours while you climb the grade, even pulling off in the wide spots that still don't work either. Use the shuttle bus service with the bike racks its well worth it and then if your confident in your skill and your brakes you can ride down taking the lane.
"For all we know his skills may be excellent, allowing him to ride like an idiot without actually being one." - FBinNY
"Adding more traffic lanes to address congestion is like trying to cure obesity by loosening your belt." - Lewis Mumford, 1955
In My Personal Experience:
----- On roads with 25-mph or lower speed limits bicycles and cars mix just fine and VC works and works well regardless of how thick automobile and bicycle traffic are so long as everyone follows the rules of the road and respects each other and actually drives not like a total jerk.
----- Anything faster its a matter of the level of automobile traffic and the faster the road the thinner the automobile traffic and to a certain extent the thinner the cyclist traffic as well has to be for VC to continue to work well. Thus, in real world practical application VC on high speed roadways turns out to be an undesirable coaping mechanism that cyclist must unfortunately but necessarily use as a result of insufficient infrastructure to fully accommodate both cyclist and other vulnerable users safety and motorists strong desire to exercise their privilege of speed.
So, as to "VC cycling working until it works and then it don't work":
On slow speed (25-mph or less) roads that isn't true, but on high speed roads unless the roads are widened to provide sufficient additional width it is indeed true that VC is only a coaping mechanism.
I'd much rather ride on a good shoulder edge on a 65-mph roadway, when there is not a good shoulder edge then VC taking the lane is something I do because I must not something I do because it's preferable. On the other hand, on 25-mph or less speed roads unless its going up a steep hill VC taking the lane is indeed preferable in most cases.
In response to JoeyBike:
I've personally never attempted to ride up the "Going to the Sun" on bicycle during the Summer when it's open to automobile traffic. I've only ridden up it on bicycle when it was closed to all but official automobile traffic in the Spring. In Summer I always pay the few dollars to ride the shuttle bus up and put my bike in the bike rack and then ride down on the bike. What I know of riding up the road on bicycle when its closed to all but official automobile traffic in the Spring and some of the cyclist I've seen trying to bike up it and the traffic issues and danger to them that results I wouldn't attempt it.
Although what you suggest about doing it in the very early morning hours might work out okay. I'm not familiar with any rule to that effect but that may be because I've never attempted riding up that road on bicycle except in the Spring when its closed to all but official automobile traffic. In the Summer I always take the bus to the top and ride the bike down, which is very fun by the way but you better have good brakes !!!

Investors Sweep Bill Ackman Into Dust Bin
(JCP - Get Report). Like many, when I read that I was enthusiastic to see positive changes in the company. Unfortunately for JCP investors, the stock closed much lower at the end of 2012 than at the end of 2011.Considering the size of Ackman's position, it's fair to assume shares will fall further if Ackman liquidates his position anytime soon. By the same note, it's fair to assume that shares in Herbalife will increase if Ackman has covered his position in whole or in part.One school of thought is Herbalife could simply have experienced a "dead cat bounce" and is on its way back lower. The other thought is that investors are brushing off Ackman's claims -- maybe he is becoming a fade. Ackman also recently became a major shareholder in JC Penny

This brake pad kit contains three brake pads and six installation screws. Helps to bring a rotating cycle to a stop.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
I first unplugged the washer. I removed the 2 screws that hold the front panel and removed the front panel, they are located at the very bottom outer edges of the front panel.I then removed 4 of the large springs that are attached to the drum, this washer has six but I only removed the front 4. Removed the two hoses going to the water pump and drain hose, removed 4 bolts that attach the motor to its mounting bracket. Unplugged the wiring harnesses going to motor and what looks like a capacitor mounted to the side of the motor.Then I removed the drive belt. ( when the machine would first start to spin it would make a clacking noise which ended up being a chunk out the the drive belt causing the belt tenshioner to slap causing that noise and letting the drum spin during the wash cycle. So far very easy. I then removed the motor and when it is disconnected you can then remove the water pump. Three hex head bolts need to be removed and it pulls right off. I then removed the six bolts that hold the brake pads in place. I applied silicone grease to the new brake pads and installed them. The pad at the back of the drum was very hard to line up with the holes. I used a very small screwdriver to line up the disc brake mounting holes to get the bolts started and it worked fine. I then put it all back together and it works great. I have to add that I have been an auto mechanic for 28 years and not to brag but this is not your average repair job.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
took off the front cover.disconected the wiring from moter.removed the motor.replaced the brake pads one at a time used a flat screw driver to spred the plates apart.The Plasatic Helix Drive Luptook bolt at the botom of shaft offthis released the Helix drive lug.took old lug off and inatalled newreplaced bolt and washer.
Brake pad kit does not come with installation instructions even though it says it does. Remove bottom front panel from washer. There are three brake pads. One of mine (the right one) broke into three pieces and was found on the bottom of the washer. This is how I identified what was wrong. Run the washing machine on the handwash extra light cycle (you could use another cycle, I used this one because I believe it is the shortest), there is a point in the cycle where the disk clamping the brake pads separates from the brake pads and allows you to remove and replace the pads. During other parts of the cycle, the disk is clamped onto the brakes and you could not remove or install a brake pad. I removed the two black hose on the bottom right to get to the right brake pad. Have a 2 gallon bucket ready to collect the water if you did run the washer as above. With difficulty, I was also able to reach around the back side of the right brake pad. I used a socket wrench set. I then removed and replaced the left brake pad. I left the rear brake pad in place. I was not able to get to it.
Unpluged electric, diconnected dicharge hose from wall drain, disconnected water lines from rear of washer and at wall hose connection, removed lower front panel, removed large front panel, disconnected hoses at motor(put towels at hoses to catch water leakage)THEN-took washer to the garage and tuned up side down. Removed front two tub springs, removed (4) motor bolts, removed electrical harness from motor, remove and replaced new brake pads. NOTE:brake pads need to be somewhat driven(pushed hard) into brake pad slots. Also it was easier to install the rear pad by removing the 4" knock-out at the side of the washer. Somehow reinstall the knock-out to keep mice and animals from entering the interior of the washer. THEN- reinstall all items in reverse order. Any one mechaniclly minded can replace the brake pad. My wife and I saved lots by doing the replacement myself. THE END. Good job Gary Final note:besure to intall the drive "v" belt around the 2" pulley wheel.Very important.
Unfortuantly this did not repair the machine. I beleive the transmission is gone and at this point it would be costly in time and money to repair. I went out over the weekend and purchased another Maytag (I just love this brand). It was on sale and I am also getting a rebate back from BGE for purchasing and energy star appliance. They will deliver this Saturday. I have spent some quality time with my sister doing my laundry at her house.

Additionally, 2012 results were impacted by acquisition and integration costs related to the Brookside acquisition of $13.4 million, or $0.04 per share-diluted and the aforementioned non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $7.5 million, or $0.03 per share-diluted. Net charges in 2011 also included a pre-tax gain on the sale of non-core trademark licensing rights of $17.0 million, or $0.05 per share-diluted and a $5.8 million, or $0.02 per share-diluted, charge related to the Global Supply Chain Transformation Program. As described in the Note, adjusted net income for each year, which excludes these net charges, was $740,040,000, or $3.24 per share-diluted in 2012, compared with $650,706,000, or $2.83 per share-diluted in 2011, an increase of 14.5 percent in adjusted earnings per share-diluted.In 2013, the Company expects reported earnings per share-diluted of $3.47 to $3.56. This projection, prepared in accordance with GAAP, assumes business realignment charges and NSRPE costs of $0.07 to $0.09 per share-diluted. Charges associated with the Project Next Century program are expected to be $0.03 to $0.05 per share-diluted while NSRPE is expected to be $0.04 per share-diluted. Despite the impact of these charges in 2013, reported gross margin is expected to increase 250 to 270 basis points.

So, it's not extremely different, but it does have a steel frame and I haven't seen a ton of Marin's posted here. It's a 2006 Marin Pine Mountain FX. The pics aren't perfect, but it's with a borrowed camera, so it's what I have. I wish the outdoor logo shots turned out better. The logos are white pin-stripe lettering which I like quite a bit more than the grey logos of the bike shown on Marin's site. Man, just previewed. Guess I should have sized the pics down. Don't have time now, but may do that tomorrow.
Here are the main specs:
Columbus Zona steel frame
Fox F100R fork
Avid Juicy 5 brakes
Truvativ Stylo Crankset
WTB Laser Disc Superlight wheelset (roll so smoothly)
FSA Carbon seatpost topped by a WTB Laser V saddle

|National Pingtung University of Science and Technology Patent applications
|Patent application number
|LINED SLEEVE FOR TUBE WELDING - A lined sleeve for tube welding is in the form of an inner tube including a first protruded portion and a second protruded portion. The first protruded portion and the second protruded portion are respectively received in two ends respectively of two tubes to be welded together. The inner tube further includes a recessed portion between the first protruded portion and the second protruded portion.
|PRIMER SET AND A METHOD FOR IDENTIFICATION OF MEAT SPECIES - The invention discloses a primer set for identification of meat species. The primer set comprises a pair of outer primers used to amplify a sense strand of DNA fragment of mitochondrial cytochrome b between positions 51 and 507. The pair of outer primers comprises a forward outer primer and a backward outer primer. The primer set further comprises a pair of inner primers comprising a forward inner primer and a backward inner primer. The forward inner primer comprises a first annealing portion and a first warped portion. The backward inner primer comprises a second annealing portion and a second warped portion. Accordingly, the primer set is used to identify species of meat especially with DNA fragmentation due to processing processes of processed food.
|SUPERCAPATTERY AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CHARGE/DISCHARGE OF THE SUPERCAPATTERY BY USING A MAGNETIC FORCE - A supercapattery includes at least one tank filled with a conductive material. The conductive material has an arrangement-variable crystal lattice. The conductive material is graphite, grapheme, graphene oxide, a composite of graphite, metal, and a polymer, or a composite of graphene, metal, and a polymer. A magnetic member is mounted outside of the at least one tank. The magnetic member can be supplied with electricity to create a magnetic field. A method for controlling charge/discharge of a supercapattery includes supplying electricity to a supercapattery filled with a conductive material having an arrangement-variable crystal lattice. The crystal lattice of the conductive material supplied with electricity is transformed from an isotropic phase into an electro-nematic phase and absorbs electrons. An external magnetic field is created to return the crystal lattice of the conductive material from the electro-nematic phase to the isotropic phase, releasing the electrons.
|RESISTANCE SPOT WELDING METHOD FOR A LAP-JOINT OF MULTI-METAL SHEETS - A resistance spot welding method for a lap joint multi-metal sheets which may improve the welding efficiency and nugget quality comprises: coating a joining zone of one of two mutually facing surfaces of two adjacent metal sheets with an active agent with high resistivity to form a welding region, and clamping the welding region with an upper welding electrode and a lower welding electrode and providing an electric current into the welding region. The active agent with high resistivity generates high heat energy to melt the joining zone and join the two adjacent metal sheets. The active agent with high resistivity has a resistivity much greater than a resistivity of each of the two metal sheets, and the active agent with high resistivity consists of multi-component powders and an organic solvent.
|Cellulose Hydrolase and Gene Thereof - A cellulose hydrolase and a gene thereof are obtained by screening a cDNA genomic library constructed with
|Chinese Herbal Aqueous Extract Having Anti-Anxiety Activities and Method of In Vitro Evaluating the Same - A Chinese herbal aqueous extract having anti-anxiety activities and a method of in vitro evaluating the same are disclosed. Neural cells and/or glial cells are cultured in a medium containing the Chinese herbal aqueous extract, and then subjected to an electric pulse treatment to form epileptic cells. The epileptic cells are applied on evaluation of at least one criterion of anti-anxiety activities of the Chinese herbal aqueous extract.
|Method of Positioning RFID Tags - A method of positioning a RFID tag by using four antennas associated with an algorithm is disclosed. A positioning space is sliced into several spatial boxes with an equal size. The center of each spatial box is assumed roughly as the target position and thus the positions are used to calculate the average errors and root mean square errors. Thereafter, the errors of all spatial boxes are compared and chosen the smallest error one from them as a new positioning space. The RMSE of the selected spatial box is then compared to a predetermined value. A correcting quantity in three axial directions is then added on the coordinate of the initial position and served as a new initial position. The processes repeated till the RMSE meets the termination condition.
|Method of Positioning RFID Tags - A method of positioning a RFID tag by using four antennas associated with an algorithm is disclosed. A diagram is depicted, which is about relationships between the RSSI and distance according to environment of the space. Next, four antennas are arranged in the space. Four measured distances analyzed from the RSSI curve are measured. Thereafter, a position of the RFID tag is assumed at the center of space. The position is served as an initial coordinate. Subsequently, the root mean square error (RMSE) is determined. If the RMSE is small than or equal to termination criteria, the coordinate is regarded as the position of the RFID tag, otherwise the initial 3-D coordinate is updated by adding some correcting values at each measuring weight. This process is repeated till the RMSE meets the assigned condition.
|CpG DNA Adjuvant in Avian Vaccines - A CpG DNA adjuvant in avian vaccines is disclosed, which includes an immunostimulatory oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) having a plurality of TCG tandem repeats at a 5′end, a poly-G structure at a 3′ end, and at least one unmethylated CpG motif with avian specific flanking sequences at two ends thereof between the 5′ end and the 3′ end. The CpG DNA adjuvant in avian vaccines is advantageous to carry out large-scale production, specifically enhance avian innate and adaptive immune responses, and the CpG DNA adjuvant is hardly to be digested by DNase due to its particular structures.
|Self-propelled Solar Tracking Apparatus with Multi-layer Solar Panel - A self-propelled solar tracking apparatus includes a multi-layer solar panel, a body, a lifting device and a moving device. The multi-layer solar panel carries the solar cell modules and includes a first layer, a second layer and a third layer. The first layer includes a first track assembly and a second track assembly. The first track assembly locates at one side of the first layer, and the second track assembly locates at the opposite side of the first layer. The second layer locates above the first layer and slidiably connects to the first layer. The third layer locates above the second layer and slidably connects to the first layer. The body has a hollow space to retrieve the multi-layer solar panel. The lifting device connects the multi-layer solar panel with the body. The moving device demountably connects the bottom of the body.

Photo by Ric Brewer, Woodland Park ZooWill this photo inspire legislators to do a favor for the zoo?The state House and Senate are still at odds over how to resolve the $2.8 billion budget deficit (the Senate wants a sales tax hike, the House and Governor don't). But with everyone talking about how to get Washington out of the red, it's surprising that proposals that would reduce the state's funding are still alive down in Olympia.
Among the revenue-shrinking bills is one sponsored by Rep. Reuven Carlyle, whose district extends to the Woodland Park Zoo, home of the controversial pachyderm insemination program. Carlyle's legislation would extend a state business tax exemption for arts organizations to both the zoo and the Seattle Aquarium.
Most of the proposed tax exemptions, including one that has already passed for companies that build and operate giant warehouses filled with computer servers, are meant to bring in new jobs.
But Carlyle's concern here is fairness. During the last decade, the City of Seattle turned over management of both animal-viewing facilities to non-profits organizations. Unlike governments, non-profits have to pay some state business taxes, unless they qualify as a cultural or arts organization.
Neither the zoo nor the aquarium fits the "cultural" bill under state law. But Carlyle believes both should. Speaking specifically of the zoo, he says by phone from Olympia: "obviously, it's a treasure, not just in Seattle, but statewide."
If Carlyle can get the exemption into the final budget bill, or passed independently, the state stands to lose $378,000 over the next four years, according to the state Office of Financial Management. No word yet from Woodland Park on whether or not that's enough extra cash to get Chai the Elephant knocked up again if it doesn't work out this time.

The one constant at the Arden Fair is the weather. It is always a beautiful day. The home grown event premiered the year Teddy Roosevelt became President, when the Indian Territory merged with the Oklahoma Territory to create the 46th state, when laborers on the Panama Canal (aided in large part by DuPont blasting powder) were paid the then monumental wage of $.90 daily with 3 squares costing $.30.
Vendors galore and thousands of sun drenched fair goers. Very very family friendly!
The "Music In The Grove" is always jam packed AND the price is right! The Grove is directly behind The Gild Hall and shaded by ageless trees.
