Easy Ways To Trick Your Taste Buds Into Eating Healthier Food
We all have our favorite foods as well as the ones that we just can't take the taste of. We have the treats that we go to for comfort, foods that we could honestly do without but need in our diet, and flavors that we hate. But what you may not have known is that taste buds are easy to train.
If eating healthier was on this year's (and last year's) list of goals, there are ways to get more good stuff into your diet — even if you don't love the taste of them right now. Follow these tools to train your taste buds and you can not only have a healthier plate and palate, but love what's on both.
Give Yourself a Reason
Healthy food is easier to eat when you have a good reason to indulge. Know which foods make your skin glow, take years off of you or add shine to your hair and you might find motivation to add them to your meals more often.
Gasp! You Haven't Been Eating Authentic Wasabi
My best friends and I love to spread wasabi on our Tempura Shrimp, Eel or Philadelphia Rolls and then cover them in pickled ginger. But little did we know, the wasabi we love/d is actually an imposter in disguise.
According to Chemical & Engineering News Senior Editor Sarah Everts, no one has ever eaten real wasabi…well, on the western hemisphere. And to be honest, authentic wasabi can hardly even be cultivated in Japan because the root it's made from is susceptible to diseases, but that's the only place where you can get the real thing.
So what is the textured green condiment placed in the corner of our bento boxes that we've fallen in love with?
Everts claims it's actually European horseradish mixed with hot mustard and dye; The BBC reports that only five percent of the wasabi we've ever eaten actually comes from wasabi rhizome and one must have a bank account like Beyoncé to ever experience the real mccoy. But those who've attained such a tax bracket and palate know that real wasabi is grated over sushi; its signature taste and zing only last for 15 minutes. Interestingly enough, "wasabi was initially used by the Japanese many centuries ago as a way of preventing illness: the story goes that it was used on raw fish to prevent food poisoning, not because of its spicy taste,"Kim Gittleson writes for The BBC.
But if this information doesn't suffice for sushi connoisseurs and they must try the real thing, wholesale wasabi can be purchased for $150 per pound, here.
Learn more about wasabi in the video, below.
Foods That Are Secret Calorie Killers
When you're on a diet, counting calories can be frustrating. But when it comes to these foods, it might be necessary. These everyday fixings we all have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner have a surprising amount of calories — and not in a good way. Even a few handfuls of some of these snacks can put you 600 or more calories over your goal. And if you haven't dragged out the measuring cup it can be easy not to notice — except when you stop seeing movement on the scale.
Don't have time to over-analyze everything you eat? Try separating these into portion sizes as soon as you get them home. Then you can just grab a snack pack on the go without having to do any math.
Ways We've All Been Prepping Produce Wrong
Summer is fresh produce season. But some fruits and vegetables can seem like more trouble than they're worth. Cherry tomatoes are great in a salad, but we don't always have the time (or the patience) to slice all of those little fruits in half.
And the real talk is, when fresh fruits and veggies aren't easy to grab and eat, we're more likely to go for a bag of chips that are simple to open instead of healthy options before we head out of the door. As for those veggies? Well, let's just say that the week's grocery budget ends up going bad in the crisper drawer.
Luckily, there's a better way to deal with all of this. Use these quick tricks to prepare all of your fruits and vegetables ahead of time. Pack them in easy-to-grab containers and you'll be much more likely to eat them before they go bad. So go ahead and stock up on fresh food this summer. Next time you won't waste your money.

Foods That Help Hydrate And Protect Your Skin During The Summer
Summer is one of the best times of year, but your skin might not agree. Although darker skin tones seem as though they're made to stand up to the sun's rays, that doesn't mean that our skin is exempt from sun damage.
If left unchecked, years of sun damage can lead to wrinkles, dark spots, other subtle signs of ageing, and even skin cancer. Thankfully, you can do the work to avoid these issues with the help of some SPF — and a change in your diet.
These foods are famous for protecting your skin when you eat them regularly. They can help even out your skin tone, give you more elasticity and even dial back a little damage. Work them into your diet as often as you can, and these summer snacks and foods may even help you shed a few pounds. They have quite a bit to offer.
Great Things That Happen When You Stop Dieting
Did you know that dieting makes some people gain weight? Anyone who has ever backslid, yo-yo'd or tried a dozen different ones knows that diets don't always work. Sometimes it's the fault of the particular diet, sometimes it's our own missteps. And whether or not it's working, being hungry all the time while you try and change your eating habits can make even the strongest of people a little miserable.
That's why taking a break from your diet, whether it's just briefly or when you're done for good, feels so great. And those good feelings aren't just based on the fact that you can stop feeling so restricted in what you consume. Coming off of a diet can do great things for your mood, your health and even your waistline. So if you're thinking about it, there are lots of reasons why it might just be a great idea to give yourself a break from consistent food restrictions.
Signs That You Need To Change Your Diet
How can you tell if your diet is working for you? A good rule of thumb is that if you're happy with it, it's working. When you're healthy, happy and feeling good, it's a sign that you're getting everything you need out of what you eat.
But not every diet is good for you. And if you're feeling off, the food you eat could be to blame. Whether you're eating to lose weight or cutting out foods just to eat better, switching up what's in your refrigerator can have quite the impact on your health.
If you've experienced one of the struggles on this list, it might be time to change what you eat. But if the issues and symptoms you're dealing with keep getting worse and worse, make an appointment with your doctor to make sure everything is OK.
Breakfast Beverages That Will Keep You Full Until Lunch
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And if you do breakfast right, it will help you fuel through your day and make better diet decisions throughout it. If you need to start your day with something that won't leave you hungry by the time you finish your first assignment of many, it's time to make some space in your fridge for these breakfast beverages.
Whether you're on a diet, tired of being tempted by the vending machines in the break room or just don't have time to snack, these drinks will do the trick. Really pressed for time? Make any of these drinks the night before and pop them in the fridge. They're all easy to grab on the go when you're rushing out of the door.
Do you have your own signature breakfast beverage that you swear by? Give us the recipe in the comment section and we'll give it a try.

Disclosure document No 328,216 issued 29 Mar. 1993 to the present inventor, is hereby incorporated by way of reference to the present patent application.
This invention relates to knives of the type having a cutting blade pivotally mounted to the knife handle, and in particular, to folding blade lock knives which can be operated with a single hand.
In folding blade knives, such as the well known "Swiss army" type knives, the cutting blade is pivotally carried at one end of the knife handle. To extend the blade from its retracted position, or to retract or "fold" the blade from its extended position, it is usually required for the user to grasp the handle with one hand, while the cutting blade is edge wisely held at its back edge between a few fingers of the user's other hand. Accordingly, the two hands of the user are usually required for handling these types of knives. Such an arrangement is not suitable for use by hunters, workmen, sailors and the like who must use one hand for holding the article and thereby leaving free a single hand to open a folded knife blade. It would be preferable if one hand could remain free at all times, for convenience.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,095,337 issued Jun. 20, 1978 to Cecil PHARR, discloses a folding blade lock knife that includes means for opening the blade on the handle with a single hand. These means consist of a U-shape bracket, being anchored edge wisely to the back edge of the blade, and carrying a transverse manual arm. A user may then hold the knife handle in his hand palm and with a few fingers of the same hand, while the thumb of that same hand may push the transverse arm to extend the blade from its folded position; folding of an extended blade is done in the usual fashion.
One problem with the PHARR patent is that two inverted versions of the folding blade knife are required, since the folding arm as installed for a left-handed person must be reversed for use by a right-handed person (see column 3, lines 20-28 of the specification). Another inconvenience with the PHARR folding blade knife is that a separate element must be added and attached edgewisely to the back edge of the blade, thus undesirably adding a blade thickening portion which would compromise deep cutting knife action with the extended blade.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,347,665 issued 7 Sep. 1982 to Louis LESSER, there is disclosed a folding blade knife with the blade thereof being openable through the use of a single hand. A so-called liner lock blade locking mechanism is provided, for holding the blade in an extended operative position. The liner lock consists of a leaf spring arranged so that one end is attached to the spacer portion of the knife handle side portion by an interference fit in a corresponding slot, so that the spring cantilevers outwardly into a cavity of a blade inner cam. The leaf spring opens through and can be manually accessed via an aperture made in the knife handle. The leaf spring is arcuate to provide a normal bias against the underside of the lever of the blade inner cam. The cam causes the latch of the lever mechanism to drop into a corresponding notch made radially of inner cam.
A disadvantage of the LESSER patent is that, for extending the blade, the user still needs to grasp with his thumb an aperture boss at the back edge portion of the blade. The present inventor does not consider such blade extension method economically satisfactory, since the blade-contacting thumb needs to be much extended beyond the handle body and enter into an uncomfortable translational motion, leading to in comfort of the user.
Other known folding blade lock knives include a knife sold under the trademark LEOPARD CUB, manufactured and sold in the United States by the American corporation Bench made, Inc. Folding of the extended blade of the LEOPARD knife is again claimed to be a single-hand operation, being done by manually grasping a radial thumb lug opening stud, which transversely projects from the back edge portion of the knife blade proximate the pivotal mount thereof on the knife handle. Again, it is believed that the ergonomics involved in holding the knife handle and in pivoting the lug stud, both with the same single hand, could be improved, for comfort of the user.
The gist of the invention is therefore to provide a folding blade lock knife, in which the cutting blade can be comfortably brought both from retracted to fully extended position, with the same single hand as that hand holding the knife.
More particularly, an important feature of the invention is to provide an enlarged rotary button mounted to the knife handle for manually extending the blade from its folded condition.
An object of the invention is that the folding blade lock knife of the present invention comply fully with the weapons control regulatory environment.
Another object of the above-noted invention is to provide such a knife, which includes slider means for manually unlocking the blade from its fully extended operative position, the latter means being located on the knife handle and being actuatable by the same said single hand holding the knife.
A further object of the invention is to provide such a folding blade lock knife, which will be as good for a right-handed person as for a left-handed person, i.e. without requiring two different versions therefor.
A general object of the invention is to improve upon the ergonomics of folding blade lock knife art.
Accordingly with the objects of the invention, there is disclosed a folding blade knife comprising: (a) an elongated handle member, defining first and second, opposite, spacedly interconnected lateral walls and a lengthwise channel therebetween, and also defining front and rear ends; (b) an elongated blade member, sized to fit within said channel, and defining a free end tip and an opposite inner end; (c) a pivotal member, pivotally mounting said blade inner end to said handle front end, whereby said blade member is pivotable relative to said handle member between a folded position, extending within said channel, and an extended position, clearing said channel; and (d) an enlarged manual blade extension member, carried by said pivotal member for enabling manual pivoting of said blade member about the pivotal axis of said pivotal member; wherein a single user's hand is required for both supporting said handle member and for operating said blade extension member.
Preferably, blade locking means are further provided, for releasably locking said blade member in a fully extended operative position in which said handle member and said blade member are coaxial. Said blade locking means could then include a liner lock assembly, said liner lock assembly comprising a liner lock plate member anchored to the interior face defined by said handle first wall; said liner lock assembly including an elongated leaf spring finger, said finger being pretensioned in transversely offset fashion toward and against a front portion of said handle second wall, whereby said finger extends obliquely of said channel so as to be adapted to prevent engagement of said blade member into said channel; said blade inner end including a sector shape lock notch, said blade notch releasably engaged by said finger automatically under the pretensioned bias thereof when said blade member reaches said operative fully extended condition thereof; and further including means for forcibly pulling said finger transversely away from said handle second wall, against its inherent transverse bias, whereby said finger clears said channel to enable free engagement of said blade member into said channel. The pulling means could include a cable member, extending through a transverse bore made in the front portion of said handle first wall and fixedly connected at an inner end thereof to said transversely offset finger, and defining an outer end portion thereof projecting outwardly of said handle second wall. The blade extension member should preferably be located about said handle first wall front portion and closely proximate the portion of said cable member projecting outwardly from said handle first wall transverse bore. A slider block member would preferably be slidingly carried within a recess made on an exterior face of said handle first wall, wherein said cable member outer end portion is fixedly secured to said slider block member. The outer surface of said slider block member forms preferably a generally planar, knurled surface.
It is envisioned that said blade member inner end includes a sector-shape lock notch, said sector-shape lock notch for accommodating and seating the front end portion of said leaf spring member in said extended operative position of said blade member, whereby said blade member becomes releasably locked into said operative position. Said blade pivotal member could then include an enlarged discoid head, said discoid head freely engaging an arcuate notch made in the front end of said handle first wall, whereby edgewise manual rotation of said pivotal member head provides concurrent rotation of said blade member. This discoid head preferably includes a knurled circumferential edge.
Advantageously, there is further provided a J-shape base wall, integrally joining said handle lateral walls on their side opposite said channel, whereby the arcuate end portion formed by the J of the J-shape base wall defines an area for accommodating said blade end tip, whereby said blade tip extends short of and is concealed by the registering section of said handle lateral side walls when said blade member occupies its said folded position.
FIGS. 1 and 2 are edge and plan views, respectively, of a preferred embodiment of folding blade lock knife according to the invention, with the cutting blade in extended position;
FIGS. 3 and 4 are views similar to FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively, but showing the opposite edge and side of the knife, and with the handle in FIG. 3 being partly broken for clarity of the view;
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4, but with the blade being in its folded condition;
FIG. 6 is a plan view of the liner lock plate, and associated draw cable slider and guide roller, being shown in released condition;
FIGS. 7-8 are plan views of opposite faces of the blade extending rotary button;
FIG. 9 is an edge view of the knurled edgewise surface of the blade extending rotary button;
FIG. 10 is a view similar to FIG. 6, but showing solely the liner lock plate;
FIGS. 11 and 12 are edge views of the liner lock plate, with the leaf spring blade portion thereof being respectively in its blade unlocking and blade locking position;
FIGS. 13 and 14 are edge and plan views of the knife blade, showing the pivotal bore and sector shape lock notch at the blade inner end portion; and
FIGS. 15 and 16 are isometric views from different perspectives of the knife of the invention in folded condition, suggesting how the knife handle can be carried in the palm of a user's hand (shown in phantom lines) and how the knurled rotary button can be manually rotated with the user's thumb of the same hand.
As illustrated in FIGS. 1-4 of the drawings, knife 20 includes an elongated handle 22 and a large folding blade 24 pivotally carried at one end of the handle. Handle 22 includes a main frame 28, of cross-sectionally U-shape, defining two flat lateral side walls 30, 32. Walls 30, 32, are spacedly interconnected in the known fashion by rivets (not shown), and by an edgewisely carried spacer member which takes the form of a base leg 34, whereby a lengthwise U-shape channel 36 is formed between the two walls 30, 32. Preferably, base leg 34 is J-shape and fashioned from the extra thickness provided on the side walls 30, 32, along the marginal edge portion thereof. Both the front and the rear ends of the elongated handle 22 are preferably arcuately shaped, for comfort of the user. Wall 32 forms an arcuate notch 38 at the front end thereof, for accommodating a rotary button 40. The end of leg 34 opposite blade 24 is indicated as 34a in FIG. 1.
Rotary button 40 is preferably of discoid shape, with a transverse threaded axial pin 42.
Threaded pin 42 freely engages through a diametrally larger bore 72 (FIG. 6) made at the end portion of a liner lock plate 70 (detailed later)--which is mounted against the inner face 32a of wall 32--, and threadingly engages with a diametrally complementary bore 43 (FIG. 14) made at the inner end of cutting blade 24, whereby rotary button 40 and blade 24 become integral to one another. Hence, rotation of rotary button 40 brings blade 24 in concurrent pivotal rotation about the axis of rotary button pivot pin 42.
Preferably, the front portion of the peripheral contour of rotary button 40 matches the arcuate contour of the front end of the other lateral wall 30, in transverse register therewith. Preferably also, the circumferential edge 40a of rotary button 40 is knurled (FIG. 7), for facilitating edgewise manual rotation thereof (as will be detailed hereinbelow).
As clearly illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 10, and as suggested in FIGS. 3 and 5, a liner lock plate 70 is mounted within U-channel 36, being applied flatly against the inner face 32a of wall 32. Liner lock plate 70 has a general shape substantially matching that of handle 22, whereby plate 70 comes in direct flat engagement with--and is taken in sandwich between--the discoid rotary button 40 and the inner end portion 62 of blade 24. Liner lock plate 70 operates in the conventional fashion to releasably lock the blade 24 in its extended condition (FIG. 3), and accordingly, does not make part as such of the invention. However, liner lock plate 70 needs to be slightly modified and be adapted to accommodate the requirements of the present invention.
Liner lock plate 70 consists of a main metallic sheet 71 having a generally lengthwise slot 48. Slot 48 includes a transverse section 48a, located beneath the end bore 72 of sheet 71 and opening through the long arcuate edge of plate 70; and an intermediate inversely U-shape section 48b. Slit 48 thus defines an edgewise, generally rectangular underlying strip 44 forming an integral leaf spring blade member. Strip 44 includes a free end finger, 44b, which is pretensioned in a laterally offset position (FIG. 12) relative to the general plane of the otherwise flat liner lock plate 70.
Blade member 44 extends within the handle channel 36. As suggested in FIG. 3, leaf spring blade member 44 is pretensioned so that its front portion 44b (adjacent slit aperture 48a) be inherently biased toward and against the interior face 30a of transversely opposite handle frame side wall 30. In other words, the front blade portion 44b extends obliquely across the handle U-channel 36, in register with rotary knob 40.
A draw cable member 46 is transversely anchored at its inner end 46a to the leaf blade finger 44b, and extends through a registering bore 47 made through the liner lock plate 71, and into a rectangular registering aperture 52 in wall 32. An idle roller 49 (FIGS. 5 and 6) is mounted to wall 32 within aperture 52, to guide and deflect draw cable member at its outer end, 46b, toward a T-shape slider block 50, to which it is anchored. This slider block 50 is kept inside cavity 52 by outer retaining lips 52', made on the exterior face 32b of handle side wall 32. Slider block 50 is slidable within the recess 52 lengthwisely of the elongated handle wall 32. Slider block 50 is slidable between a first "rest" limit position, proximate rotary button 40, where leaf spring blade front portion 44b freely abuts against the interior face 30a of wall 30 yieldingly under the pre-tensioning bias thereof, and a second limit position, when the slider has been forcibly pushed spacedly away from rotary button 40, and where leaf spring blade front portion 44b is drawn by cable 46 to abut against the interior face 32a of wall 32 against the pre-tensioning bias of the leaf spring 44, thus transversely clearing U-channel 36. Preferably, the outer surface of slider block 50 is knurled, as was the case for the circumferential edge of the rotary button 40, for facilitating manual sliding displacement thereof.
Cutting blade 24 is clearly illustrated in FIGS. 2, 4, and 13-14, and includes a main, flat, elongated sheet section 54, with a sharp, thin, arcuate, cutting edge 56 and an opposite, thick, straight, back edge 58, with edges 56 and 58 merging about a sharp tip 60 at the outer free end of blade 24. The inner end portion 62 of blade 24 is thick and generally semi-circular, so as to define a general discoid shape sized to correspond substantially to that of discoid knob 40. The blade inner end portion 62 is lodged within the front end of U-channel 36, frontwardly of the leaf spring blade anchor point 46a of the draw cable 46, and in transverse register with discoid knob 40. The cutting blade inner end portion 62 and the rotary button 40 are fixedly interconnected by the knob pin 42. The cutting blade 24 is oriented in such a fashion that, upon elongated blade 24 projecting away from handle 22 coaxially thereto, cutting blade sharp edge 56 and handle U-channel 36 will be directed in the same direction.
Accordingly, by rotating rotary button 40, cutting blade 24 is brought into rotation therewith, whereby the cutting blade 24 can be brought into handle U-channel 36 in a folded position, with the sharp edge 56 being the leading edge (i.e., engaging first the U-channel 36). In its folded position, the cutting blade main flat section 54 extends into U-channel 36 between the liner lock plate 70 and the handle wall 30; for this to occur, slider block 50 must previously be slided rearwardly (i.e. away from rotary button 40), to draw cable 46 and associated front end portion 44b of the liner lock plate 70 toward handle wall 32, so as to clear U-channel 36. During this pivotal motion of the cutting blade 24 from its fully extended operative position (extending away from the handle 22 and coaxially thereto) to its retracted position within the U-channel 36, the cutting blade leading sharp edge 56 will slide against the interior face of the liner lock plate main body 71, including spring biased leg 44b thereof, thus continuously maintaining this front portion thereof 44b away from wall 30 forcibly against its spring bias.
As illustrated in FIG. 14, the blade inner end portion 62 should have a sector shape lock notch 63, preferably a right-angle sector shape notch, for accommodating the front end leg portion 44b of the liner lock plate in the operative fully extended position of the cutting blade. It is understood that with such a right angle sector shape lock notch 63, the cutting blade 24 will become positively locked in place when it pivotally reaches its fully extended operative position, since this locking will occur automatically under the pretensioned bias of the leaf spring blade 44. More specifically, the blade 24 will become locked in its operative fully extended position (i.e., will constitute a catch member), because the sector shape notch 63 forms a seat against which the pretensioned leg 44b abuts under its lateral offsetting bias. To release the cutting blade 24 from its fully extended operative position, the user needs only to forcibly rearwardly slide the slider block 50, whereby the draw cable 46 will transversely pull the laterally offset spring biased finger 44b of the liner lock plate 70, to bring finger 44b coplanar to the main body 71 of the liner lock plate 70, whereby U-channel 36 becomes cleared.
It is to be considered within the scope of the present invention that in the present knife 20, the large cutting blade 24 could very well be replaced by another suitable implement, which could be selected from the group of implements conventionally found in swiss army type knives, namely:
scissors, rulers, fish scalers, files, screwdrivers, can openers, corkscrews, awls, bottle openers, nail nicks, pen blades, and the like . . .
Moreover, it is envisioned to be within the scope of the present invention that more than one knife implement could be pivotally carried to the knife handle 22. For example, a cutting blade and a can opener could be carried side by side, each pivotally mounted to a corresponding control knob (rotary button 40); the knife handle 22 would then probably have to be wider, since it would be required to have a number of transversely spaced, U-channels corresponding to that of the number of implements carried by the knife 20.
It is understood that in its folded condition, the cutting blade 24 is concealed within the U-channel 36. In this folded condition, the sharp, cutting edge 56 of the cutting blade 24 extends short of the edgewise contour of the handle 22, to prevent physical injury to the user upon hand-grasping of the handle.
Preferably, the rear arcuate end of the base J-wall 34 provides a well for receiving and accommodating in non seating fashion the sharp tip 60 of the cutting blade 24, when the cutting blade 24 occupies its folded position (FIG. 5), so as to prevent accidental injuries when the folded blade knife 20 is carried by the user.
As illustrated in FIGS. 15-16, the discoid control knob 40 on this folding blade type knife 20 is used to ergonomically extend the blade thereof with the same single hand as the one supporting the handle 22, using e.g. the thumb T (for the right hand RH of a right-handed person)--FIG. 15--, or the forefinger F (for the left hand LH of a left-handed person)--FIG. 16--. In FIG. 15, the pressure of the thumb T, edgewisely on rotary button 40 and in a circular motion, clockwisely rotates the folded blade from closed to open conditions.
This knob 40 may be unscrewed and removed from the handle 22, as suggested in FIGS. 7 to 9 of the drawings, so as to be used as an decorative ornament: for example, by having engravings for initials or favorite animals pets' heads, etc. . . . This way, a user can custom make at will as many knobs 40 as he likes.
This knob system 40 can work on all folding blade pocket knives having an extended blade locking system called liner lock; as well as with folding blade knives having an extended blade locking system called lock back.
In conclusion, the present pocket knife 20 with a liner lock 70 has a rotary button system 40 to laterally tilt the liner lock pretensioned leg 44b to unlock the blade 24 when the latter is in its extended position. The mechanism (e.g. Metallic) has a flexible wire 46 attached to the liner lock finger 44b, which extends over a cylindrical guide roll 49 which acts as a pulley; wire 46 is further attached at the other end to the flat, checkered, control slider button 50, which can slide axially of the elongated handle 22. By moving the slider button 50 away from rotary button 40, the liner lock pretensioned leg 44b is laterally shifted, thus unlocking the blade 24 and freeing the latter to rotate for closing. Because the liner lock finger 44b is obliquely bent in the extended condition of the blade 24, it creates its own spring bias to lock the blade 24, while at the same time bringing forward the slider button 50 inside U-channel 36.
It can be understood from FIGS. 15 and 16 that, due to the close proximity of rotary button 40 and of slider block 50, and due to the fact that both are located on the same side of the handle 22, handling of the knife 20 will be ergonomically enhanced, particularly during blade extension, since the user's finger (thumb T or forefinger F depending upon whether the user is left- or right- handed) will comfortably rotate around the circumferential edge 40a of the rotary button, instead of uncomfortably entering into a wide translational motion associated with prior art handle-connected grasp members.
Therefore, the heart of the invention lies in the provision of a rotary button 40 for the blade extension of a folding knife. Preferably, a liner lock assembly--or other equivalent releasable blade locking means, such as the tenon and mortise lock back blade locking system--is provided, as an additional feature of the knife. When a blade locking means is used, preferably, the actuating knob thereof will be located closely proximate the rotary button 40 and on the same side of the knife handle.

Thanks to one more easy victory, Serena Williams is a match from her fourth U.S. Open title and 15th Grand Slam trophy overall. Williams wasted little time or energy while overwhelming 10th-seeded Sara Errani of Italy 6-1, 6-2 on Friday night to reach the final at Flushing Meadows. Not only has Williams won every set she's played over the last two weeks, she's dropped a total of only 19 games across six matches. It's part of a stretch of dominance that has carried her to a 25-1 record since a first-round exit at the French Open in late May. That span includes titles at Wimbledon and the London Olympics. In Saturday night's final, Williams will face top-ranked Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, who beat Maria Sharapova earlier Friday.

- After a good experience the previous year we were keen to visit another camp closer to the beach.
The key issue for us was to have a unit that could provide the following accommodation.
Two double beds and one single this we were assured was what we would have.
What we got was the same as before I.e. One double, two singles and bunk beds.
Facilities at the camp were negligible, food choices limited to one take away. Wifi expensive which given the lack of investment in other facilities was questionable.

Rickie Fowler is in hot pursuit at Hoylake thanks to golf 'dad' Phil Mickelson
- American draws inspiration from fellow countryman in Open bid
- Fowler closed a six-shot lead in 12 holes on Saturday
- Sergio Garcia admits Rory McIlroy will be hard to catch
This was, Sergio Garcia conceded, much like being hunted by Tiger, complete with the roars that provided the first sign of danger.
Only this time here it was Rory McIlroy who was terrorising the two golfers ahead of him. McIlroy who was drawing deafening applause from the crowds in the group behind.
For Garcia and Rickie Fowler, it made the final few holes of a dramatic third round here in Hoylake all the more torturous. As Fowler dropped a shot on 17, his third bogey in four holes, McIlroy could be heard making eagle on the adjacent 16th.
Under pressure: Sergio Garcia and Rickie Fowler during the third round on Saturday
As the American and the Spaniard then made their way across the third fairway to the scorer's tent, there came another roar for yet another eagle on 18 for the Ulsterman. Fowler had just birdied 18 but even that failed to stop the gap between first and second widening.
Defending champion Phil Mickelson felt he missed a good opportunity to move up the leaderboard on day three.
Mickelson was among the day's first starters, teeing off at 9am, but failed to take advantage of unexpectedly good conditions.
The lefthander fired a 71 to lie 15 shots behind leader Rory McIlroy overnight and said: 'We had beautiful scoring conditions, first group off. If we could have shot seven, eight, nine under par it probably was out there. It was as easy as I've seen the course play. We could have made some noise.
'It could have been a lot lower and I let a lot of shots slide.'
Mickelson, who came through the field to win with a final-round 66 at Muirfield last year, opened here with rounds of 74 and 70.
Garcia admitted afterwards that playing McIlroy in this kind of form is as daunting as waging war against Woods in his prime; an almost futile exercise however well those in the chasing pack might be playing.
'I don't think Rory has been as consistent as Tiger was for so many years, but when he's at his best he's right up there,' said Garcia.
'Obviously I heard the roar on 16. I didn't know but I imagined it was an eagle. The only thing you can do is say "well done".'
For Fowler is proved particularly galling. He was tearing up this course in near perfect conditions, going through the turn in 32 and then birdying 10, 11 and 12 to erase the six-shot advantage McIlroy had taken into the third round. But then came that crushing run of bogies and with it an emphatic McIlroy response.
Fowler will nevertheless take encouragement from the fact that the six-shot lead McIlroy now has this afternoon can be closed, because he did it in 12 holes yesterday. He can also draw some comfort in knowing his two professional wins to date were both achieved with McIlroy as runner-up.
His first victory, the Wells Fargo Championship two years ago, came after beating McIlroy on the first extra hole of a sudden-death play-off. Add to that the benefit of having been in much the same position in the US Open last month, not to mention the confidence of having already finished in the top five in both majors this year, and Fowler goes into the final pairing today in decent shape.
Feel the force: Rickie Fowler tees off on the 13th hole at Hoylake on Saturday
The advice he gets from Phil Mickleson, someone he referred to affectionately as his golf 'dad', is also sure to come in handy. What better mentor to have than last year's Open champion?
'I've learned a lot from Phil,' said Fowler. 'He's kind of been like, I hate to say it, but like a dad out here. It's been a lot of fun being around him. Not just playing on Tuesday, but having dinner with him and seeing how he operates on and off the golf course.'
Thanks to the work he has been doing this past year with Butch Harmon – a coach Fowler described as the 'best in the world' – the young American has been itting his irons superbly and at times he putted beautifully too, sinking one from around 30 feet on the second hole. Garcia's approach on the eighth was also worthy of mention, even if he will want to forget the two-and-a-half foot putt he missed on 12.
Garcia thinks it a tall order, catching McIlroy. 'If he shoots three under, I have to shoot 10,' he said with a smile. 'So if Rory plays the way he's been playing it's difficult to see anybody catching him. When Rory plays well every course suits him. There's not really a lot of weaknesses in his game.'
In the swing: American Rickie Fowler has been hitting his irons superbly
Fowler knows that too, having grown up competing against McIlroy. They are just a few months apart in age – now both 25 – and are actually good friends as well as neighbours in Jupiter, Florida.
They also have a penchant for brightly covered clothing even if McIlroy joked this week that Fowler's fashion sense – he will once again wear the orange of Olklahoma State University today – was highly questionable.
'We've travelled a bit together between tournaments,' said Fowler.
'We first played against each other at the Walker Cup in 2007 and it's kind of gone from there. So I'm looking forward to it tomorrow. It's going to be a good time. We're good buddies and at the same time we both want to beat up on each other as bad as possible.
'If I can go out and put a bit of pressure on him and make him earn it a bit, get myself in the mix, maybe we'll be able to throw some blows back and forth.
'The US Open last month was my first time in the final group at a major. But it was just a matter of time before the two of us found a way to sneak into a final group together.'

- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
On the eve of his thirtieth birthday, Miguel Santos leaves his high-powered life behind for a visit to the small town he grew up in... and the high school sweetheart whose wild passion he's never stopped craving.
Faith Bennett loved Miguel the moment she saw him. But she always knew his future was in New York, while hers was tied to the auto shop that was her close-knit family's livelihood. Pushing him away nearly broke her, but when he took her heart with him, he left something precious behind.
Now he's back, demanding her body, her desire, her very soul as retribution for the pain he still carries. He won't settle for anything less than everything she's got, but she still can't leave with him and he still can't stay, and their past has secrets too explosive to share.

This is not a novel, it is a short story. I purchased it for my nook and read reviews that it was a quick read, okay. Enteraining books tend to be quick reads. I felt like it was beginning to get interesting, then moved too fast, turned the page and the end. Disappointing.
Cute story but its way too short. It should've been free. Read it in 2 hours. And it ends by falling off a cliff....you are left with a thousand questions like someone forgot to finish wiriting the book!!!
Good story just wish it would of been longer.
As you turn the pages of this book it becomes a great read and then she just desided to stop writting......The end!!!!
No plot development at all Idea for story is good but it needs to be developed and detailef
Great story line i just wish it was a little longer.
Good Book...too short, but good story. I really like Sylvia Day.
To short of a story!!I
I love sylvia day novels but was highly disappointed with this one. I don't appreciate when authors break up what should be one novel into multiple parts to make more money off their fans. That' what was done unnecessarily here. Know before you buy that the book is short, 90 pages and continues with another book. There is no real ending and book feels very incomplete and rushed.
Have read better material from this author
Not worth 3 bucks. Intense but short. Day is a great writer though. Has lots of good stuff
Too short! This really could have been a great book if it was explored more. Otherwise is a good read.
It's a lovely story, but less than 100 pages and very predictable
Hot! Hot! Hot! Short but hot & steamy book!!
Love scenes are hot but exposition fails a little.

When should High-Performance Computing (HPC) be considered an integral and essential part of the so-called 'business transformation' process? This is not a question often posed.
We normally center our fascination with the business transformation process around any given firm's path toward secure (but productive) enterprise mobile computing, Big Data analytics, cloud computing flexibility and new age workflow constructs that embrace social media and online intercommunication.
But how about plain old raw power and High-Performance Computing - or HPC as we normally call it, shouldn't this opportunity to turbo-charge also form part of our current transformation plans?
Advanced and Complex Applications
HPC is defined as a computing environment that employs the use of parallel processing for running what we will call "advanced and complex applications" in an effective and efficient manner. To be more precise and define the term exactly - it applies to any computing environment where the system has the capability to function above a teraflop (or 1012 floating-point operations per second) in its operation.
Although it is true to say that most HPC systems up until now have been tasked with performing compute jobs in fields including scientific research, molecular engineering and (for example) high-grade military uses... thing are changing.
HPC is used to perform tasks including data storage (and, of course, analysis) and what we used to call (and sometime still do) data mining. It will also be used for running complex simulation scenarios and also in deep mathematical calculations and for the visualization of complex data.
... and so today, with so many firms becoming increasingly heavily digitised, the argument to take HPC forward into a wider range of business applications now arises.
In terms of wider usage, HPC can be used to develop, test and redesign products at the same time as optimizing production and delivery processes. Ultimately, Big Data will need HPC in order to be able to store, analyze and produce insight. HPC can also be used (alongside Big Data intelligence) to execute customer trend monitoring, searching and/or profiling.
What Are Firms Doing with HPC?
HP has announced that Airbus has boosted its HPC capacity for aircraft development to 1,200 Teraflops by deploying a new generation of HP Performance Optimized Datacenters (PODs) in Toulouse and Hamburg.
Each of Airbus' 12-meter-long containerized HP PODs delivers the equivalent of nearly 500 square meters of data center space and contains all the elements of an HP Converged Infrastructure: blade servers, storage, networking, software and management (as well as integrated power and cooling).
"Organizations like Airbus need creative scenarios to cater for future business needs," said Peter Ryan, senior vice president & general manager, HP Enterprise Group EMEA. "HP will continue to provide the newest, most powerful technology and operations to support Airbus' HPC for the next five years."
Big Data needs HPC and HPC needs to work on Big Data - this is a marriage made in heaven.
With 15% of enterprises adopting a hybrid IT strategy, you need to set a plan to integrate hybrid cloud throughout your infrastructure. In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Steven Dreher, Director of Solutions Architecture at Green House Data, discussed how to plan for shifting resource requirements, overcome challenges, and implement hybrid IT alongside your existing data center assets.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Choosing the right cloud for your workloads is a balancing act that can cost your organization time, money and aggravation - unless you get it right the first time. Economics, speed, performance, accessibility, administrative needs and security all play a vital role in dictating your approach to the cloud. Without knowing the right questions to ask, you could wind up paying for capacity you'll never need or underestimating the resources required to run your applications.

ADMINISTRATORS TO PORTSMOUTH FC, PKF revealed that a former owner and one of the largest creditors to the club, Balaram Chainrai is considered the preferred bidder.
The Championship club entered administration for the second time in two years on 17 February, with PKF partners Trevor Birch, Ian Gould and Bryan Jackson appointed.
Chainrai's proposed bid through his company Portpin will see the club exit administration in the next six weeks.
All clubs in both the Premier League and Championship must exit administration via a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA). A CVA needs 75% or more of creditors by value of debt to approve the deal. About 87% of Port Vale creditors approved the proposed CVA.
PKF hopes to send the details of the proposals to creditors later this week with a vote expected to take place in early June.
Birch said: PKF has not received bids from any other potential buyers and we do not
expect any new bidders to emerge before the club runs out of money.
"The Supporters Trust is working hard to make a proposal but as yet is not in a funded position to make a bid. We.ve made it clear from the start that a new owner would need to demonstrate that it can not only fund a CVA that is acceptable to creditors but also cover the clubs ongoing operating losses.
"Only Portpin has been able to give us the necessary assurances that the funding will be in place. This is important because at some stage it will have to give the Football League those assurances too."
In 2010 Portsmouth entered administration as a Premiership club with UHY Hacker Young partners Andrew Andronikou, Peter Kubik and Michael Kiely appointed administrators. In March 2011 Geoff Carton-Kelly and David Hudson, partners at Baker Tilly, were appointed liquidators.
