Microsoft and ORT Partnership Enhances 21st Century Education
May 13, 2011 (New York, NY) – At the 8th European Forum of Microsoft's Partners in Learning in Moscow, President of Microsoft Russia, Dr. Nikolay Pryanishnikov, and the Director of ORT Russia, Dr. Sergey Gorinskiy, signed a memorandum of understanding (or MoU) that commits their organizations to share information technologies and promote educational innovation.
"The MoU intensifies our collaboration with the world's technology giant," said Shelley B. Fagel, National President of ORT America, whose donors are key supporters of ORT's programs in The Baltic and Independent States (CIS). "This partnership also provides our 27,000 students in the region with an opportunity to learn on the most innovative technologies, using modern communication tools."
Microsoft has been collaborating with the schools in this part of the world for 20 years, providing them with information technology and discounted software.
The ORT de Gunzburg High School has benefited from Microsoft's support since 2009 when it became the only one in Russia to be selected by the corporation as a Pathfinder School. Microsoft provided SharePoint software, which consolidates intranet, extranet, and Internet sites on a single platform.
Last year, the ORT Kiev Technology Lyceum in Ukraine joined the Partners in Learning program, and the MoU raises the possibility of the best schools in ORT's network in the CIS to join the global Partners in Learning Innovative Schools program.
"ORT is one of the largest educational networks in the world; its activities overlap Microsoft's mission of promoting the transformation of education, which indicates the great potential there is for the two organizations to interact both in Russia and around the world," said Igor Balandin, Director of Education at Microsoft Russia.

The Crimson Hall Unlocks Tommorow!Posted on 2010 under Blue Posts, News | Leave a Comment!
18 Jan
Crimson Hall unlocks in less than 24 Hours!
So the Crimson Hall is going to be unlocked soon. I wanted to go over what will come out with this patch. There will be two new raid encounters, also with limited number of attempts for the wing boss Blood Queen Lana'thel. Thus giving you a total of 15 attempts to down both Professor Putricide & Blood Queen Lana'thel, until they despawn.
When you complete A Feast of Souls you may go on and start the chain quest to complete Shadowmourne. Blood Queen Lana'thel is a part of the chain quest Blood Infusion. In order to do this quest you need to be the target of
Blood Mirror which is going to be right next to the person closest to the tank. So pretty much healers better be ready to heal lol, because both whatever damage your tank takes, you will take as shadow damage.
Here is a section from WorldofRaids. They put together a good guide on how to approach this. Check it out!
"The Blood Prince Council
This is another "council" encounter. The princes all share health, though with a twist this time — only one of them can be damaged at any given time. This takes place by them receiving Invocation of Blood from the Darkfallen Orb or by it jumping from another prince. At this point they grow larger and gain additional abilities. For full details on the Blood Prince Council encounter, visit the Blood Prince Council guide page.
- The following abilities are used during the Blood Prince Council encounter:
- Prince Keleseth
- Shadow Resonance
- Shadow Lance
- Empowered Shadow Lance replaces Shadow Lance when Invocation of Blood is on Keleseth.
- Prince Taldaram
- Glittering Sparks
- Conjure Flame
- Casts Flames when it reaches its target.
- Conjure Empowered Flame replaces Conjure Flame when Invocation of Blood is on Taldaram.
- Casts Empowered Flare periodically and Flames when it reaches its target.
- Prince Valanar
- Kinetic Bomb
- Shock Vortex
- Empowered Shock Vortex replaces Shock Vortex when Invocation of Blood is on Valanar.
The Legacy vs Blood Princes
Blood Queen Lana'thel
This encounter is involved in the limited attempts system in Icecrown Citadel. To read more about that, visit this news article.
This encounter has multiple phases and includes the mechanic of players being bitten by Blood Queen Lana'thel, increasing their damage for 60 seconds but also putting them at risk of becoming mind controlled. Proper management of this effect is crucial as she has a very large health pool and enrages after 6 minutes. For full details on the Blood Queen Lana'thel encounter, visit the Blood Queen Lana'thel guide page.
- The following abilities are used during the Blood Queen Lana'thel encounter:
- Phase 1 (Ground Phase)
- Blood Mirror
- Delirious Slash
- Pact of the Darkfallen
- Shroud of Sorrow
- Swarming Shadows
- Twilight Bloodbolt
- Vampiric Bite
- Places Essence of the Blood Queen on target player.
- After 60 seconds, player gains Frenzied Bloodthirst and must use Vampiric Bite on another player.
- If Frenzied Bloodthirst fades, player receives Uncontrollable Frenzy.
- Phase 2 (Air Phase)
- She will spin, casting Bloodbolt Whirl every 2 sec. for 6 seconds. This is cast on random targets."

One never wishes to speak ill of the dead, so I'll just say that the late, great Bernie Mac was ill-served by this lame buddy comedy's hackneyed script. He and Jackson energetically play ex-singing partners who reluctantly reunite after a nearly 30-year estrangement, embarking on a mishap-filled, cross-country road trip. Their destination: a tribute concert at Harlem's Apollo Theater.
Sadly, there's no thrill to their trill. The language is bluer here and the humor more ribald, but it's the same song you've heard before in earlier aging-buddy comedies. Best part: end-credit footage of Mac waxing wise and mouthing off between takes.

Thanks, Darren. Bottom line is this is not a simple thing to do unless you know what you are doing.
It's not for the ordinary modeler who is not also an electronics hobbyist I would think.
There are however quite a few people following this thread who would be very interested in the final design of version 5 though if you can find the opportunity to get them. Sounds like a fairly straightforward oscillator set to a frequency that keeps the motherboard happy but, as always, the devil is in the detail. I'm assuming the thermal health of the PS is now entirely in your hands. That is, you control the fan speeds manually but there is no feedback from any thermal sensor in the power supply?

Thats right John, it's not for the average hobbist or electronics tinkerer, such a project is certainly backed with some expert knowledge and specific equipment.
Yes the thermal stability of the PS is entirely in the hands of the operator with this mod. I do have temp probes mounted on the intake airflow, both supplies exhaust, & large heatsink i put on controller's mosfets. So I do have a real time indication of temps displayed directly under the corresponding RPM I have them set to. The draw on the supplies indicated by my power analizer gives me the indication of RPM rage I should be in to keep to my own boundaries, confirmed or tweaked by temp figures.
If enough people are interested perhaps we can look at selling some PWM Emulator/Generator units ready to go. Again not entirely up to me but if I can get an idea of how many are interested we might be able to put it together. Components were quite minimal from what i remember.
The reading of 32.0F below on my controller is a bad sensor to be replaced.

Left to right readings are as follows...
air intake (ambient)
exhaust PS #1
exhaust PS #2
mosfets on back of controller
As fans are turned down it puts the controller to work burning off the excess energy, hence the elevated temp and necessity for a large heat sink to dissipate the up to 55W of energy.

Dps-300hb a
I have a DPS 300HB a server power supply. I have been researching through this forum to see how to get it online, but have found sketchy and conflicting results... Does anyone know what specific pins I need to connect in the 15pin d-sub connector and the 24 pinn connector to be able to access the various outputs?

I have a problem to run my above mentioned PS.
The output-connector looks like the same as on the picture from jj604 for the PS DL580.
If I connect the three pins, the van started to run faster and the voltage at the power-pins increased to 12,65V. So fare all it's ok.
But if I connect my charger and switch it on, the voltage breaks down and the LED from the PS changed from green to yellow.
Is here anybody, who can help me and knows, what it's wrong?
Many thanks in advance!
IBM Bladecenter 2000w PSU DPS-2000BB A Revison S9 voltage control mod.
Revisions S9M and higher for the IBM Bladecenter 2000w PSU DPS-2000BB lack the external voltage control that the S8M and earlier revisions have.
The external voltage control pins(A1 and A2) were left disconnected for some reason in these later revisions.
This internal modification will reconnect the voltage control pins for the S9M and higher revisions and allow for adjustment up to 14.6v.
A rev S8M daughterboard will also work in a rev S9M PS.
Only the 2nd connection highlighted in red needs to be made to the main board.
I did it this way to retain the ability to remove the daughterboard.
An alternative method is to run a jumper wire from the top of the daughterboard to the bottom of the mainboard to connect the same points.
Please use caution when performing this modification !!
Ok today ive tried to mod the fan using the temp control and it worked but only for 2 seconds untill it realised that its running way too low of a fan speed..which darren & JJ had stated earlier so no go on the temp control
so for now the 10ohm resistor system works..
Intrestingly i was looking at some other fans that size and stumbled across some sunon fan specs which can shed some light on how the mother board sees rpm that generates cetain frequency or pulse
The white wire is the signal wire or tach wire/ according to the tech guy from digikey whom i had called to verify about the fans He did say its not colour specific.
there are 2 kinds one for rpm(tach) and something about locked type cannot remember right now anyways heres some info
check out page 6 on the specs sheet
Alright Darren i would be intrested in the PWM Emulator/Generator ...
and more stuff to look at...I am not saying that this will work but give us a general idea of how these fans work etc..
Well boys, big thanks to everyone for their input with the ProLiant server power supply. I finished mine last night with a couple of extra touches and advice from earlwb!
I based my distribution panel off of earlwb's design half way down the page here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1216559
Here's the pics of the finished project.
Your power supply and power distribution system is looking really good. You did a good job on it. I think the gray color project box looks better than the black one I used.

Hey Trev300,
Ground the top right pin as in the picture. That should get it going for ya.

Simple English Mint Sauce: Perfect for Roast LambElizabeth Stark
Now that it's spring, you're probably thinking of roasting a leg or shoulder of lamb. It's a good idea. In the the US, it's traditional to serve lamb with mint jelly, which involves buying or making mint jelly, eating a few tablespoons of it, returning it to the fridge and throwing out almost a whole thing of mint jelly in two months when you realize it's still in there. That's one of the reasons we're big fans of lamb with a simple English mint sauce. You can make only as much as you need.
The other reason we're fans of it is that it tastes fantastic. Cool and sweet, it's taste offsets the rich and gamy flavor of the lamb nicely. The freshness of the mint is also a nice reminder that spring is finally here.
This recipe makes a simply, watery sauce. Don't be deterred by the thin consistency–the flavor is wonderful, and tastes even better after a few hours in the refrigerator.
Simple English Mint Sauce (adapted from The All New Joy of Cooking)
2 tablespoons boiling water
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (or light brown sugar)
3 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, minced
4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
In a small, heat-proof bowl combine the boiling water and sugar. When the sugar has dissolved, add the mint and vinegar. Cover the mixture, and allow it to cure in for several hours, or overnight in the refrigerator.

YOUNGSTOWN -- State Attorney General Mike DeWine said at a news conference this afternoon on the banks of the Mahoning River that his office will be filing a civil suit within days against Ben Lupo.
DeWine was speaking along with U.S. Attorney For The Northern District of Ohio Steven M. Dettlebach just hours after Lupo was arraigned in federal court on a single count of illegally dumping into a U.S. waterway.
He is free on $50,000 unsecured bond and waived his preliminary hearing, which means his case will be bound over to a federal grand jury.

Tribune Chronicle / Joe Gorman
State and federal officials held a news conference in Youngstown today just hours after Ben Lupo was arraigned in federal court on a single count of illegally dumping into a U.S. waterway.
Meanwhile, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources is moving forward with an informal "show cause" hearing in Uniontown to give the company an opportunity to explain why its permits should be reinstated. The ODNR revoked operating permits last week because Lupo admitted to telling workers to illegally dump oil and drilling mud into a storm sewer on his Salt Springs Road property.
Lupo was led into court this morning in handcuffs by a special agent for the Ohio EPA. He is represented by attorneys Joseph Gardner and Leonard Schiavone. He turned himself.
Also at the news conference were representatives from the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. and Ohio Environmental Protection Agencies, Dettelbach, Mahoning County Prosecutor Paul Gains and ODNR Director Jim Zehringer.
Clean Water Act violation penalties include a $50,000 fine per day the violation occurs and three years in federal prison if convicted. If Lupo is convicted of violating state dumping laws, the maximum penalty is six months in jail and a fine of $10,000 on a first office and up to two years in prison and a fine of $20,000 on each subsequent offense.
Investigators had received a tip Jan. 31 that the company was dumping illegally at its Salt Springs Road complex.
Since then various agencies have been trying to clean the spill in tributaries that flow into the river.
DeWine, along with Youngstown Mayor Charles Sammarone, called for tougher drilling regulations at the press conference as well.

Nutria isn't half bad when cooked over an open flame, also had several varietys of snake cooked on a stick and would eat them all again.
Alligator is a staple food to many people around here, as are turtles and their eggs, though I don't care for turtle unless its in a Sauce' Picau.
Possum, Armadillo, and coon I have had and of the 3 I would only eat coon again.
Blackbirds make a great gumbo as long as you don't add okra (okra=yuck in anything to me though)

Rattlesnakes are good, tree squirrels are just awesome. Coyote is pretty gross. Jackrabbits have a bad reputation but the one I ate was very good. Bobcat is very good too. I'd like to try horse and domestic dog... the hawaiians say black dog is good eatin;)

Funny, you guys are mostly listing off what most people would call "trash" animals, namely animals that don't tend to eat well and therefore usually don't taste good. Personally I don't find many of these odd and would probably eat some. The strangest foods to me are the ones that people with money tend to eat. Like Foie Gras or caviar. I mean, seriously, FISH EGGS? Blech! And the things they do to Geese to get Foie Gras are pretty bad. There's some other stuff I wanted to mention but it's late so I forgot.
Oh yeah there was that episode of Man vs Wild where he ate a skunk. He gagged. 'Nuff said.

Being retired military and having been deployed to the middle east, only the good Lord above knows what I've eaten at the chow hall. I've had Camel, could identify it as it was in the chow hall and you had to cut your meat off it it. Dang thing had an apple in its mouth, like they do with pigs. I've eaten arabian beef and I've never seen a cow anywhere in the middle east. It was next to the regular beef burgers and the color, texture and taste was like no beef I'd ever eaten. Then there was the crunchy greenish/brown meat like substance that tcn (third country national) laughed when he placed it on my plate. Or the odd shaped chicken (?) wings that still had hair on them and did not taste like chicken. Can you say thank God for MRE's. :)

I'm pretty sure that I've eaten frog legs, but it would have been when I was quite young.

frog legs,gator tail. Nats,flys,mosquitos and the like traveling on the motorcycle. yuck!
September 2, 2010, 10:46 AM
In my world travels and meals, it wasn't so much out-of-the-ordinary critters. What I found odd was that we et the whooooole critter. Specifically, in northern Chile, when we had asados <<BBQs>>, we would get a live goat for the event. The only parts not eaten by the humanoids were the skin, bone and horns. I would have to say that the strangest thing I ate was "goat lung". Everything else was a bit more normal meat. Seriously, if you want a great BBQ, get yourself a fresh goat. They are great eating.
September 2, 2010, 01:20 PM
The big secret to fixing alot of small, greasy critters is to par-boil them with some potatos, carrots & onion for a couple hours, then rosting them. Much of the "gamey" taste is in the fat. This works well with coon, opposum, skunk, bobcat, muskrat & beaver.
September 2, 2010, 01:41 PM
In Korea, I was fed dog from a bulgogi stand on the street by my drunken chortling friends. Who then had a good laugh after I ate it. Then I ordered seconds because it was delicious. Then I felt really bad the next day when I sobered up.
Muskrat was a pretty staple fare in the swampy corner of SE Michigan I grew up in. The VFW, Elks, etc, would buy up all the meat from trappers (yeah, muskrat used to be worth trapping back in ancient times - the 60's) and have muskrat cook-offs. It doesn't taste like chicken, but it's not bad.
The local delicacy here in Kodiak is Seal liver. It doesn't taste like cow or pig liver, it tastes sweet and fatty and really good - like the fat from a really prime cut of steak, but with a different texture.
And every year we make red caviar - salmon eggs. Red caviar doesn't taste fishy, but like egg yolks with a stronger flavor, a good flavor... like egg yolks, but more so, except they "pop" in your mouth. If you tried it, you'd like it!
September 2, 2010, 01:49 PM
FISH EGGS? Blech!
We made salmon roe (ikura) in Alaska and it was outstanding. Very very good.
September 2, 2010, 02:06 PM
Ikura is Japanese style caviar and it's waaaaay too salty for my taste. We make traditional Russian malasol caviar - malasol means "low salt" in Russian. It won't "keep" like ikura, so you have to eat it fresh. But it tastes much better.
September 2, 2010, 07:12 PM
Armadillo, coon, possum, beaver, gator,frog legs, squirrels, squirrel brains, venison heart, liver, and kidneys. It's not game, but Scottish haggis, New Mexican menudo, and real South Alabama homemade souse made from every part of a hogs head. My old great aunt used to cook chitlins, but one smell was enough to move me out of the house.
September 2, 2010, 07:22 PM
I've eaten dried squid, very rich, like a double chocolate cake. It tastes about like it smells.
I've eaten giant clams, you know, the ones that seem to trap the divers leg in the movies. They are good, but I felt bad after eating it, as I realized how many years the thing had to live to become that big.
September 2, 2010, 08:11 PM
happy to see alot of frog leg eaters in the house. kinda surprised me.
September 2, 2010, 09:42 PM
Frog is good-eats.
Fish eggs rolled in flour and fried in butter. Add some dandelion green, or pig weed greens with butter, vinegar, salt and pepper and you're set.

September 2, 2010, 10:38 PM
Tried froglegs once years back then promply quit gigging. Them things are nasty. Tried emu aint bad with bbq sauce on it. Camel aint fit to eat neither is kangaroo. Most other small critters that could be trapped,shot,or caught on a fishing line was regular meals on my table when I was growing up.
September 2, 2010, 11:53 PM
Well I'm sure caviar is great and all but the point I was making was more about how odd it is that anybody would even say "What the heck is that?! ...Okay I'll try some." :D But hey every culture and stripe has their own delicacies and most of them are far more disgusting than what's been listed here. For instance MY people STILL eat this stuff in the old old country.
Though nowadays it's more because of tradition than necessity. This stuff is so bad that they take a shot of straight schnapps with every bite.

Frog legs are scrumptious. Back in the way-back-when, Mac'n'Nell's Fish Camp at Orange Lake, Florida, served gator tail as part of their cafeteria style deal. Plus turtle and fish. Veggies, iced tea and dessert: $1.50. Airboat rides extra.
Fried rattlesnake is another "tastes like chicken" deal. "Snake fingers". :D

Frog legs are great, we used to hunt them and fry up the legs in butter and garlic when I was in summer camp, yummy. Here in Japan I've eaten strange stuff; horse sashimi, whale sashimi (didn't know what it was beforehand, gagged when they told me). When I was living in a village in Africa they fed me chicken, I recognized the parts only cause I remembered them from physiology class in college. That was gross!
September 5, 2010, 11:30 AM
Dang, I go to that "scottish" restuarant, (you know, the one with the arches) Ain't no tellin' what I have eaten.:eek::what::what:
September 13, 2010, 01:59 PM
I just returned from Mongolia, here are some of the tasty treats from a ger in the south Gobi.

Quote: from Art Eatman
"Frog legs are scrumptious. Back in the way-back-when, Mac'n'Nell's Fish Camp at Orange Lake, Florida, served gator tail as part of their cafeteria style deal. Plus turtle and fish. Veggies, iced tea and dessert: $1.50. Airboat rides extra."
Art, sounds like that was a dandy place...When was that...? Any idea if that fish camp still exists, even if by another name...?

"I mean, seriously, FISH EGGS?"
I'm not much on shad roe, but herring roe fried in bacon grease is really good. During the spring migration you can catch herring by jigging bare gold hooks.
Cooking the actual fish, well, we don't. We salt the fillets down in jars and let the salt dissolve all of the bones. Shad get cooked for hours, either over a slow fire or in a 200* oven with the door open.
My favorite food is conch salad. Raw conch cut up in a bowl with some veggies and peppers and lime juice to 'cook' it.
Now I'm hungry again.

I ate fried squid while in Spain, taste like tough shrimp. NOTE: Chinese restaurants are always getting in trouble for cooking house cats.
September 13, 2010, 04:26 PM
Aside from some of the options; snapping turtle, horse, donkey, mule...flying fish, tree rat aka "squirrel", regular rats aka "millers", wood chuck, and plenty of arthropods and mollusks.
The Italian Army's donkey tortellini was outstanding for mess hall grub.

Turtle stew - mmmm!
Served my parents braised armadillo for their 41st anniversay back in'80. They loved it. For years I had to kill a 'dillo when going to visit them.
Diamondback is good fried. Coon's okay if cleaned properly ( get all those 'glands' out.) Coot breast is fine eating.
September 22, 2010, 11:42 PM
Compared to you guys...I'm a wimp. I've had Gator, that's about it from the list. I actually like gator jerky better than beef jerky. Well, sometimes...depends who cooked it. Not all jerky is created equal. :)
I'm willing to try new things, but I prefer not to find out what it was until I'm well removed from it afterwords.
September 23, 2010, 12:12 AM
gator for me too======who ate a bat
some of the guys in south Louisiana i worked with would eat anything that wont eat them first
September 23, 2010, 06:03 PM
Rattlesnake soup, squirrel, frog's legs, dried squid, and whale.
September 23, 2010, 06:52 PM
I've eaten dog...here in the United States and knowingly. It was similar to eating some cuts of pork.
Used to eat horse relatively often, but it became illegal to sell horse meat here in the U.S. a few years back so that pleasure is now forgone. It is a nice meat, leaner than beef and with a slightly different taste.
Raw beef, raw fish, roe of many different varities. Dried squid. Cooked squid, cooked octopus. More kinds of fish than I can recall really. Almost forgot raw sea urchin, fresh from tidepools, cracked open with a screwdriver and then dressed with a squeeze of lemon. You just suck down the black, tarry looking contents.
Frogs, eels, 'gator, yup, of course.
Squirrels a plenty, moose, caribou, bear, elk, venison, rabbit, pheasant, duck, goose, turkey, all wild game, not store bought.
Ate sparrows in Spain from street vendors. Goat in Mexico, plus lengua (tongue) here and there. My dad ate cat, camel, and donkey during WWII, so I suppose that counts as a known experience.
The really funny thing is that I was a vegetarian for quite a few years! :D
September 23, 2010, 10:12 PM
"who ate a bat"
That would be Ozzy Osborne.
September 24, 2010, 12:47 AM
Nobody mentioned groundhog or did I miss it. I used to make a groundhog stew and even got the recipe published.
September 24, 2010, 02:27 AM
Eels and raw fish, fish eggs, goose liver just means ya live in California and make a bit over minimum wage, everyone's had the odd experiment and had sushi.
Goose liver fully deserves all the hype, it's heavenly.
I only recently tried frogs' legs, they're good. Like fishy chicken. Good if you like fish. And chicken.
I need to start trying some of the birds around here, I've read someone describing crow they tried as "like duck but more tender" which sounds pretty good. And we've got to cull some of the geese and roosters around here. Plus it seems the local doves are an invasive species....
September 24, 2010, 08:14 AM
i believe consuming "critters" is considered low class by most of the locals...:scrutiny:
September 24, 2010, 08:16 AM
Does racoon fit in the "other" catagory?
September 24, 2010, 09:47 AM
Rattlesnake soup, squirrel, frog's legs, dried squid, and whale
I've always wondered what whale tastes like. Care to elaborate? I knew a LaFrance when I lived back in AZ.
September 24, 2010, 10:09 AM
I had whale sashimi in Japan. It's a dark red meat that looks like the red parts of tuna.(which is how they tricked me into trying it) I don't remember the taste being that special tho.
Offered but not eaten: boiled silkworms in Thailand, live insects in Mexico, grasshopper and rat in Africa.
September 24, 2010, 10:12 AM
Did a week in TX... ate snake and gator :)
September 24, 2010, 11:20 PM
I saw turtle mentioned several times.. If you were a Florida boy you would know that softshelled turtle is called "cooter" and can be quite good. Another good one is beefalo. Some farmers in Nebraska actually crossed the two and it was really good. They actually had steaks in the corner store for a while. Idea was to get an animal that could survive the West Nebraska winters outdoors and still produce tender meat faster that the typical buff could.. the other reason was because the buffalo had a nasty habit of putting their head down and pushing through about any fence when they decided to move. The cross seemed to loose some of the cantankerous attitude.
September 25, 2010, 02:59 PM
I have the belief that if you shoot it, you eat it. Therefore I have eaten a varied amount of critters: skunk, oppossum, bobcat, copperhead, frog legs, gator tail, snapping turtle, breast of woodpecker, grasshopper, cricket, meal worm, I didn't really shoot some of these things. I believe the best of all was oppossum. One night on the way home I had to swerve to miss hitting one, but saw that the oncoming car hit it. Turned around, stomped it out of its missery, took it home skinned it out, encluding the fat, and put it in the crock pot. Got up the next morning, boned the meat, put barbecue sauce in with it and took it to work, along with a loaf of bread. Co-workers ate it up. After friends told them what it was, one gal argued that she had had opposum, and that what I had brought was beef. Another person turned green, went to the bathroom and thru up. He then went home. Another time I brought barbequed copperhead cut in little pieces with toothpicks sticking up. Forgot the time I ate an old crow. He had great flavor, but was sure tough.
September 25, 2010, 03:13 PM
I love rattle snake, I wish you could get it at the butcher shop.
September 25, 2010, 04:14 PM
I have eaten:
Water Buffalo
and they all tasted like chicken.
September 26, 2010, 04:04 AM
Lynx was good, even after they told me what I had eaten...LOL!!!
Heck, if it walks, crawls, flys, swims , borrows underground or grows tward the sun , Ill give it a try :D
September 27, 2010, 08:33 AM
A buddy of mine recently had the opportunity to try a humpback whale that washed up on the beach in Mozambique. It was 'prepared' by the locals, his description was priceless: 'Humpback tastes like a cross between hardhead catfish, and pencil erasers'

I should be allowed to vote again. A couple days ago, it was my wife's birthday, and I took her to the restaurant of her choice. While there, I had a chance to sample a couple different types of wild boar, but the most interesting item was some sausage made from rattlesnake. I have to say that it was my favorite, just behind the beef tenderloin of course.
November 6, 2010, 04:14 PM
Raw Octopus
Raw Squid

hmmm yummy. just think of something while shoving those foods inside your throat
November 7, 2010, 12:10 AM
Octopus - grilled
Pigeon - shot in Grandma's saw mill - I'd never eat city birds
Chicken feet - yuck!!
Cow brain - fried - tasty
I didn't like frog legs either.
Grandma wouldn't allow Raccoon or Possum in her kitchen. I figured if she wouldn't cook it I wouldn't eat it. I watched her fix sausage and "grits". Grandma's grits weren't corn - they were about anything edible you could get from a pigs head mixed with lard and oats.
November 7, 2010, 02:44 AM
Does BBQ eel count? Not actually sure it was BBQ'd, but it had BBQ sauce on it. We were at a sushi place and I was trying to order beef teriyaki, but my (India Indian) wife kept elbowing me in the gut, her grandfather was there and he didn't/doesn't eat beef...so my FIL ordered for everyone, so I got BBQ eel which is better than Dahl.... yuck!
November 7, 2010, 02:52 AM
Geez. I thought us Cajuns were weird.
November 7, 2010, 03:42 AM
Kangaroo, tastes like venison, but dry.
Crocodile. Tastes like chicken.
In the seafood area, not weird to me, but may be to others:
Squid, Octopus, swordfish, shark, scampi, oysters, muscles, crab, fresh water & saltwater crayfish, shovelnose lobster. Pretty much if it lives in the sea, isn't attached to a rock and doesn't squish between the toes when I stand on it then I'm willing to eat it. :)
November 7, 2010, 11:30 AM
My grandma went to Australia and had Kangaroo tail steak. I'm still envious
November 7, 2010, 01:51 PM
I've only had gator, and it was dang tasty.
November 10, 2010, 10:48 AM
Of all the odd meats, I'd have to say the green hamburger meat served in the public school systems here in Texas during the early 50's would probably rank near the top of the mystery chart for 'other odd animals'. I've hunted & cooked & shopped in local meat markets, open & enclosed & traveled about the world a bit doing it & have yet to ever see a critter w/green meat;-)
November 11, 2010, 10:09 AM
Beluga whale
Bowhead whale
Salmon roe
Whitefish roe

In the era of Chevrolet 409s, California girls and dancing with Barbara Ann, the surf rock genre was born, inspiring bands and audiences alike to dip their feet into the waves and wiggle their toes in the sand.
The Valencia Marketplace's 16th annual Summer Sunset Concert series kicks off on Friday with the feet-dipping, toe-wiggling "Southern California Beach Classics" of the Hodads.
"We had been thrown together by an agent who needed a surf band for some parties and we just had a chemistry," said bass player John Hatton.
"Everybody was having so much fun. Then we decided to form a band."
With Hatton on bass, Bob Schuster on lead guitar, Sterling Smith on piano, Tony Jones on drums, and Jimmy Street on sax and rhythm guitar, the band was established in 1991, Hatton said.
The Hodads have played many times in the Santa Clarita Valley, including for Concerts in the Park, in a parade and for the series at the Valencia Marketplace for 10 years.
Originating as a surf band, the Hodads are named after the beach slang for "poser" due to the members' lack of surfing ability.
"We looked on the back of a Surfaris album, they had that song "Wipeout," and it had a list of surf terms. Hodad meant, at that time, greaser," said Hatton.
The national craze of surfing brought with it the dry, "bushy, bushy blonde hair do," said Hatton, a revolt from the slicked-back style that was previously popular. "Hodad" evolved to refer to the people who went to the beach with surf boards but couldn't surf, identifiable by their greasy hair.
"We called a surf shop and asked the worker what "hodad" meant and he said, 'poser, dude.'"
After the Hodads got started, the band began to deviate from the waves and sand of the Beach Boy style.
"Now we play all styles of music. At Valencia, we've been playing classic rock," Hatton said.
"We will be doing covers at Valencia. We have an album of originals but we never get to play them."
The Hodads play modern music with the younger crowd, covering Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Adele songs, and music from the '50s and '40s when the audience demands.
"They are one of our favorites because we're always asked back," Hatton said of the performances at the marketplace.
"The Hodads are really glad to be back at the Valencia Marketplace and look forward to seeing our fans."

These mechanisms imitate burrowing actions of gophers and crabs.
Two apparatuses now under development are intended to perform a variety of deep-drilling, coring, and sensing functions for subsurface exploration of rock and soil. These are modified versions of the apparatuses described in "Ultrasonic/Sonic Drill/Corers With Integrated Sensors" (NPO-20856), NASA Tech Briefs, Vol. 25, No. 1 (January 2001), page 38. In comparison with the drilling equipment traditionally used in such exploration, these apparatuses weigh less and consume less power. Moreover, unlike traditional drills and corers, these apparatuses function without need for large externally applied axial forces.
To recapitulate from the cited prior article: An apparatus of this type is an approximately cylindrically shaped vehicle that contains driving and controlling electronic circuits plus sensors and associated electronic circuitry. The vehicle also contains an electronically driven piezoelectric actuator that excites a combination of ultrasonic and sonic vibrations that give rise to hammering action at a tip that, as a result of this action, advances through the soil, rock, or other material in which it is embedded. The combination of ultrasonic and sonic vibrations is more effective for drilling than is the microhammering action of ultrasonic vibrations alone. Unlike in conventional twist drilling, a negligible amount of externally applied axial force is needed to make the apparatus advance through the material. Because there are transverse vibrations as well as longitudinal ones, a hole somewhat wider than the apparatus is formed; consequently, unlike in the case of a conventional twist drill, there is resistance to jamming and tolerance of misalignment.
Both USMODs are designed to drill to depths much greater than their lengths. One USMOD (see Figure 1) is intended for use mainly in acquiring cores. It is denoted an ultrasonic gopher because, like a gopher, it periodically stops advancing at the end of the hole to bring excavated material (in this case, a core sample) to the surface, then re-enters the hole to resume the advance of the end of the hole. By use of a cable suspended from a reel on the surface, this USMOD is lifted from the hole to remove a core sample, then lowered into the hole to resume the advance and acquire the next core sample.
This work was done by Yoseph Bar-Cohen, Stewart Sherrit, and Benjamin Dolgin of Caltech and Steve Askin, Thomas M. Peterson, Bill Bell, Jason Kroh, Dharmendra Pal, Ron Krahe, and Shu Du of Cybersonics for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. For further information, access the Technical Support Package (TSP) free on-line at www.techbriefs.com under the Machinery/ Automation category.
This Brief includes a Technical Support Package (TSP).
Unfortunately the TSP Ultrasonic/Sonic Mechanisms for Drilling and Coring (reference NPO-30291) appears to be missing from our system.

What is it? It is disrespect for another property. Mr. Mark Weisel wrote in his letter, 'What I'm zoned for", the continued vandalism of his property in the city of Williamsport.
That type of vandalism happens outside the city also and I would easily bet that many business owners all over the area will tell you it extends to their businesses also. It would be easy to blame a 'group' or 'influx' but the truth it is plain disrespect for property. Your property, mine, the community's, businesses name someone and they will tell you they have experience vandalism of their property.
We all have a tendency to speak in first person; I, me, mine, myself. While we like to speak from our own experience we forget about others. We all have respect for our property but does it extend beyond that?
Take a look at your work environment. Does everyone clean up after themselves? Do you find a pile of cigarette butts in the parking lot because someone dumped their ashtray there?
How many times have you travelled behind someone in your car and see trash coming out of it? How many times have you walked down a street and see someone in front of you drop a wrapper instead of walking a short distance to a trash can? At a fair grounds how many people do you see dropping items and not picking them up and continue to walk away even though there are trash cans all over the grounds even on the way to the parking area?
My last question when one shows disrespect for anothers property are they also showing disrespect for themselves as well? We all own property of some kind we also share property.
Property is not just an individual right; it is a shared right by all individuals. Sometimes I think we forget that.

As Manager of Community Partnerships Jessica Hoffman's primary responsibilities include creating and managing seven different school programs that the Canucks offer to teachers and students throughout BC. When she's not neck deep in school programs, Jessica helps execute large fundraising events such as the annual Canucks Dice & Ice Gala, Sports Celebrity Festival and Canucks for Kids Fund Telethon. She also assists with the Community Partnerships elements of home game-nights, including Lui's Crease Club, hosting VIPs, and on ice cheque presentations to name a few.
Each day is different from the rest, but is usually filled with email and phone communications with internal and external partners along with planning for whatever's coming next: a Canucks home game, school program launch, player appearance in the community, big fundraising event, etc. There's lots of writing in this position (various proposals, curricula, media releases, web articles, etc), as well as planning careful timelines of events and programs.
Game days are similar to the rest of the days, but working game nights are unique from Jessica's regular daily tasks. During a Canucks home game she hosts VIPs in the Pressbox, oversees the children's charity group that is using Lui's Crease Club for the night, assists with the 50/50 draw, takes care of charitable cheque presentations, and executes any player or alumni appearances that might be scheduled. Game night responsibilities are rotated between Jessica and the other Community Partnerships staff.
Jessica obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from Simon Fraser University. She minored in Publishing which has been very helpful with the curriculum development that is required in this position as well as establishing relationships with publishers across North America for children's book orders.
Prior to working in the Community Partnerships department Jessica gained relevant experience as an event planner, magazine writer, administrative assistant, and editor in chief of her University student newspaper.
To be successful in a job like this, it is important to be highly organized, energetic, and have great writing skills. You also must understand and be ok with the fact that the 40-hour work week doesn't really exist – you must be flexible and willing in the amount of work hours that are required, as after all, this is an event-based job and most events (hockey games, fundraisers, etc) fall outside the typical 9am-5pm work week.
"Volunteer, volunteer, volunteer!" says Jessica. "Like many staff with the Vancouver Canucks I began as the Community Partnerships intern where I paid my dues for eight months." During her internship she 'learned the ropes' and made many important connections that eventually resulted in a full-time job. "This is an industry that favours previous related volunteer work."

Ladbrokes Irish Grand National Leading Ladies of Racing Named
Monday, 1 January 1
Five of the country's leading female jockeys were announced today as the Ladbrokes Irish Grand National 'Leading Ladies of Racing'. Nina Carberry, Kate Harrington, Jane Mangan, Liz Lalor and Katie Walsh are all well known faces in the winner's enclosure at race meetings around the country, all have unique links with the Grand National were chosen by leading racing journalists. Never before were there more ladies in the traditionally male dominated weighroom as we now regularly see our two leading lady riders Nina Carberry and Katie Walsh winning top races at the racing Olympics which is Cheltenham and the Ladbrokes Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse.
The Ladbrokes Irish Grand National Easter Festival which takes place from Sunday 8th - Tuesday 10th April at Fairyhouse racecourse is one of the most prestigious and valuable handicap steeplechases in Ireland, and a firm fixture in racegoers diaries. Nina Carberry became the second woman in history to win the race when she rode the Arthur Moore trained Organisedconfusion to victory in 2011. Speaking of her hopes for this year's Ladbrokes Irish Grand National, Nina said: "You're not always lucky enough to get a ride in it. I was very lucky to get a ride in it last year and to win it was just very special".
Horse Racing Ireland has also commissioned a piece of footage entitled 'Nina's Backstage Pass' in which Nina gives racegoers and the general public a behind- the- scenes look at the work undertaken by women in the industry. Speaking of her involvement with the 'Backstage Pass' on-line video, Nina said: "I am happy to be involved and think it is a great way to recognise the hard work done by women in the industry". See www.goracing.ie/leadingladies for more information.
There is strong public interest in the sport, which saw 1.2m people attend race meetings last year. Ladies days are always a popular feature of the big festivals but women also feature strongly in the day to day running of the industry, which employs over 16,500 people in Ireland.
Michelle O'Grady, Head of Marketing at Ladbrokes said "The Ladbrokes Irish Grand National is known as one of the great racing occasions for decades and has always been a fantastic occasion for families. The Irish have always had the best Owners, Breeders, Trainers, Jockeys and races in the world and of course it goes without saying that we have the best Lady riders who compete regularly for the best prizes in the best races in the world".
Tamso Doyle, PR Manager for HRI commented on the new initiative: "Nina's Backstage Pass was done to give people a behind-the-scenes look at the work done by some of the top professional women in the industry, many who you wouldn't necessarily see on a raceday. These five 'Leading Lady' riders Nina, Katie, Jane, Liz and Kate are dedicated, talented and tough which has put them at the top of their sport and are blazing the trail created by the likes of Joanna Morgan, Liz Doyle, Caroline Hutchison, Clare McMahon, Anne Marie and Frances Crowley to name a few and we wish them every success."

From: Ashbourne, Co Meath
Notable Successes: Ladbrokes.com Irish Grand National (Organisedconfusion 2011), Fred Winter Handicap Hurdle (Dabiroun 2005), Glenfarclas Handicap Cross Country Chase (Heads Onthe Ground 2007, Garde Champetre 2008-2009), Paddy Power Champion INH Flat Race (Leading Run 2006, Mick The Man 2007), Cork Grand National (Penny Hall 2006)
Principal Trainers: Noel Meade, Enda Bolger, Tommy Carberry
Only people of a certain standing are identifiable merely by their Christian names. As is the case for AP and Ruby, so it applies to Nina. Which is why the Meath native is renowned not as a leading lady rider, but simply as one of Ireland's top jockeys. She transcends gender.
Nina Carberry's entire existence seems intertwined with the Ladbrokes.com Irish Grand National. Her grandfather, Dan Moore trained Tied Cottage to win the race in 1979. By that stage, her uncle, Arthur Moore had already ridden King's Sprite to success in 1971, as had her father, Tommy, on board Brown Lad in 1975 and 1976.
Brother Paul joined the family roll of honour when Bobbyjo took the spoils in 1998, in the process, putting Tommy in the select group of individuals who had both ridden and trained winners of the storied race.
Yet another sibling, Philip was on board when Point Barrow prevailed in 2006, so nobody should have been surprised when it was Nina's turn last year, thanks to a brilliant ride on Organisedconfusion – trained by the aforementioned Uncle Arthur.
"I grew up just down the road from Fairyhouse and I was going to the National ever since I was a kid" explains Nina. "Bobbyjo won there and it's just a special day. The fact that it's the Irish National makes it special in itself and all the history just adds to it."
Nina has finished the Aintree Grand National on all three times she has participated and all going well with Organisedconfusion's last prep run this weekend, will travel in April with dreams of repeating Bobbyjo's Liverpool success in 1999.
But for now, there is no doubting that winning the Ladbrokes.com Irish Grand National has been the highlight of a much-garlanded career. Nina will be sponsored by Fairyhouse racecourse for the 2012 season.
Age: 27
From: Kill, Co Kildare
Notable successes: Vincent O'Brien County Handicap Hurdle (Thousand Stars 2010), National Hunt Chase Challenge Cup (Poker De Sivola 2010), Bar One Racing Handicap Hurdle (Thousand Stars 2009), Leopardstown Handicap Chase (Seabass 2012), www.tote.com Hurdle (Dorset Square 2010), Goffs Land Rover Bumper (Glencove Marina 2006)
Principal Trainers: Ted Walsh, Willie Mullins
Katie Walsh has plenty in common with Nina Carberry. For a start, they are good friends. More than that, they recently became sisters-in-law when Nina married Katie's brother, Ted jnr.
They have been going toe-to-toe on the track for some time now though and it's every woman for herself when you turn for home and the whips are drawn.
Indeed, few will ever forget the outstanding finish to the National Hunt Chase Challenge Cup at the 2010 Cheltenham festival, when the duo drove their willing mounts at the last fence and threw everything at them up the famous rise.
In the end it was Katie who prevailed on Poker De Sivola and within seconds of crossing the line, Nina was giving her a hug.
Those were an amazing few days for Katie, as she finished the meeting with two winners, when Thousand Stars won the Vincent O'Brien County Hurdle. The daughter of Ted and sister of Ruby would be known throughout the racing world for her own achievements from this point on.
When the opportunities increased, she showed an outstanding ability to get a horse to meet its fences right. One memory is of her tremendous horsemanship to avoid a loose horse on the approach to a fence (none other than Organisedconfusion, who had uncharacteristically parted company with Nina at the first) when riding her father's progressive Seabass to victory at Leopardstown last January.
Katie's National memories surround Papillon winning at Aintree in 2000 and Commanche Court claiming the honours at Fairyhouse a couple of weeks later. Both were trained by her father and ridden by her brother.
"I went over on the box with Papillon and led him up" Katie recalls. "There was huge excitement with Ruby riding and it being Dad's first horse with a chance. I was 15 at the time. It was absolutely amazing.
"Everyone dreams of riding in a National, or being connected to a horse that's involved in the National. Even the buzz of working in a yard where you might have a horse running in a National is huge".
"I'd love to ride something in the National, that would be brilliant. Everyone got a great kick out of Nina winning last year. For a girl to win a National, it was great for racing. People didn't expect it to happen."

Principal Trainers: Dick Lalor
If you want proof that the girls are just as tough as their male counterparts, look no further than Liz Lalor. AP McCoy has rightly been lauded for his remarkable feats of fortitude in the past and had the great Ulsterman ridden a winner ten weeks after breaking his neck, it would have been front page news.
That type of fanfare didn't surround Carrigeen Lechuga's Thurles success on February 9 but it represented a remarkable comeback for Liz, who had fractured her C1 vertebra in a fall in a point-to-point race at the end of November.
Brushing it off as no big deal, she actually wanted to take up her last ride of the day but thankfully, was prevailed upon to go to Cork hospital. Eight weeks in a brace, during which she had a couple of "sneaky sits on some horses in the yard" and she was ready to go again.
"It was brilliant, a nice way to come back. It never entered my head not to go back riding; there are too many nice horses to ride at home at the moment" Liz enthuses.
It was a real family affair as Carrigeen Lechuga is trained by Liz's father, Dick and owned by her mother, Ann. The Lalors have been breeding horses for many years now
A three-time champion lady rider on the point-to-point circuit, Liz came to prominence on the track thanks to her exploits on Carrigeen Kalmia. Between them, the pair won the Listed Phil Sweeney Chase at Thurles as well as three other chases.
Carrigeen Lechuga is the present now though, having come out with Liz to win again at Thurles last week. So the mare represents the future too, with the Ladbrokes.com Irish Grand National a potential target, if not for this year, than definitely for 2013.
"Dad is thinking about it. He's not sure whether he'll go for it or keep her in novice company this year to gain a bit more experience before taking on the more seasoned campaigners. I'd love to ride in it but if she doesn't go for it this year, it might happen next year because the further she goes, the better she goes. She's a real National mare."

Principal Trainer: Jessica Harrington
Kate Harrington has never had to look too far for inspiration when it comes to her desire to be a success as a jockey AND an elite-level event rider.
Her mother Jessica is the top dual-purpose trainer in Ireland, preparing horses to win Graded and Group races on the levels and over obstacles with apparent ease.
Prior to that of course, the Mistress of Moone was one of Ireland's premier event riders, competing in three European Championships, one World Championship and being selected for two Olympics. Unfortunately, the Irish eventers boycotted Moscow in 1980 while her horse got lame in Los Angeles four years later. She did, however, participate in what was dubbed 'The Substitute Olympics' in France in 1980.
Jessica's father, Bryan Fowler won a silver medal as a member of the British polo team at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, while her brother, John Fowler was picked to participate in Ireland's eventing team at the 1968 Olympics. Unfortunately, he failed to recover in time from a broken collarbone.
Kate has already competed at numerous European championships, winning a bronze medal in the pony championships in 2005. She continues to chase the Olympic dream that has driven her family for generations, but at the same time, is quickly becoming a thoroughbred jockey to contend with.
Her first win on the track came on board the legendary Moscow Flyer on an emotional day in the 2007 Diageo Ireland Punchestown charity race. It was her first ride in public and the former Champion Chase winner's last appearance. Two years later, she was booting Imperial Cascade to victory in the Goffs Land Rover Bumper and she continues to produce the goods.
"I'm very lucky in that I have a very good event horse and Mum gives me the opportunity to ride in bumpers as well" Kate reveals. "I love the challenge of doing both although I change my style an awful lot going from one to the other.
"I actually find my race-riding helps me for my cross-country riding because I can be so positive, while the discipline and patience I need for dressage comes into play when I'm riding a race, feeling how a horse is travelling underneath me."
Kate has progressed to point-to-pointing and hurdling and would love to repeat her late Uncle John's win in the Irish Grand National some day, particularly if it helped her mother win the race.
"My first memory of the National is when Bobbyjo won it. I was very young and I think Mum had won a big race before it. I know it's a race she has always wanted to win, so it's a big ambition for us all."
Age: 18
From: Conna, Co Cork
Notable success: Cork & Waterford (Mares) P-To-P Flat Race (Jamie's Darling 2011)
Principal Trainer: Jimmy Mangan
Not many jockeys have ridden winners on their first rides. To do so on a horse owned by your uncle and trained by your father makes for a brilliant story and it's one Jane Mangan is understandably happy to tell.
Applying for a licence to ride wasn't even her idea. While Jane had always been around horses, and her brother Paddy was a professional jockey, race-riding hadn't seemed like an option until her mother, Mary presented her with the forms.
"I had them filled out before my father even knew" Jane laughs.
Her father is Jimmy Mangan, who trained Monty's Pass to win the Aintree Grand National in 2003. It was a memorable occasion, celebrated not just by the Mangan household and the people of Conna, but the entire point-to-point community in East Cork and West Waterford. More of which in a bit.
Initially, the idea was that Jane would ride Conna Castle in Open Lightweights at point-to-points and the pair had won two when her uncle, Billy Mangan offered her the mount on Jamie's Darling in a Cork bumper last April. Not too much was expected of horse or pilot, but the 17-year-old Mangan timed her run to perfection to produce the daughter of Old Vic for a snug enough victory inside the final furlong.
"My instructions were 'go out and enjoy yourself' and I did that. I have five winners on the track now and three at points."
Despite all the excitement at the time, Jane's memories of Monty's Pass etching his name in Grand National history are hazy.
"I was nine and it's not as clear as many people would think. In the build-up, I was shipped off to my grandparents and I was there too on the day. I was away from the tension and hype. I only thought of it as a race. It was a race in England so I knew it was a bit bigger than your average race. But I didn't have a clue how big a deal it was."
Jane is a Leaving Cert student but doesn't find it difficult to combine studying and riding. Indeed, it's a help to unwind from one by kicking into the other. Such an outlook is fairly typical of a remarkably mature teenager, who looks set for a long and successful career in the saddle.
One thing is for sure, she is certainly not lacking in role models.

[QUOTE]Does regular CW dieting and/or IF have the potential to initiate nighttime eating syndrome in people with LR?[/QUOTE]Yes-- I would say that IFing [I]when done in a certain manner[/I] can totally initiate nighttime eating [I]in some people[/I]. (It has for me at least.) If I've used IF to fast all day long, planning to only eat one meal in the evening, it has typically lead to a nighttime binge. (I don't use it in this manner any more because that obviously doesn't work *for me*. I also have a history of binge eating disorder/bulimia, so there you go!) IF, when used in a more lean gains approach (similar to the leptin reset style of eating) has been more successful *for me*. But again, YMMV.
According to books like Julia Ross's _The Diet Cure_, a lot of binge eating issues (which can encompass nighttime eating etc) stem from [I]not eating enough high quality foods during the day[/I] (so, eating a bunch of nutritionless junk all day, or not eating at all, etc...) She recommends getting in a specific amount of protein and fat, veggies, carbs, etc in order to prevent binge eating issues. I've found that her recs have really helped me personally (eating 4+ cups of non-starchy veggies a day along w/ around 30+ g protein per meal etc.)
Just my thoughts on this! :)

4 stabbed at Christmas family gathering in Alameda
Female suspect taken into custody
A Christmas gathering at an Alameda home turned violent Tuesday night when one family member stabbed four others, an Alameda police sergeant said.
The victims were three females and one male.
A female suspect was taken into custody at the home, according to police. The stabbings were reported just after 10 p.m. at the home.
Some of the victims were taken to hospitals for treatment, but none of the wounds were considered life-threatening, police said.
It appears the family was gathered at the home when an argument began, police said. At some point during the argument, the suspect used either a kitchen or pocketknife to stab the four others.
The case remains under investigation.

Honda CB360 Kick Starter Problems...
Looks like I originally posted this in the wrong area, so here it is.
Got some problems with my kick starter. I'm a beginner with motorcycles and engines all together, but I'm working on it with my father(experienced with cars, but not motorcycles) and I know the basics. Everything looks to be in decent shape except this kick starter and the electric start doesn't work (was told by my brother whom worked on the bike several years back).
This bike isn't running right now, but I'm confident that once this is resolved it will start up fine. First off the tab on the case that the return spring latches to is broken, so whenever I go to kick start the bike I have to pull the arm back up. We plan on fixing this issue in the future after we know the bike is worth the time/effort/money. The main issue with it though is whenever the bike is in gear, with the clutch held, the bike will roll forward with some resistance and a clicking sound which we know is coming from somewhere on the kick starter shaft. (Can touch the arm and feel it vibrate with each click) And when we go to roll it backwards, it won't go at all, it's jammed. Is this to be expected or does anyone think maybe something else is broken as well? Things just don't sound right, but then again I don't know for sure what things SHOULD sound like... if that makes any sense.
Also, does anyone know if it is possible to simply weld the aluminum piece that broke off back on to the case? I don't think the return spring is the only problem, perhaps something else got damaged inside. I really wish I knew what happened exactly. All I know is that my friend was trying to kick start it, this thing snapped... and then he pretty much abandoned it.
Within the next few days we'll be pulling the engine out and dissecting the bike if we can't figure out what is up. Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. And please let me know if you all have had this issue and how to resolve it as well. I want to ride my bike this summer so badly!

Not Normal.
You should be able to engage the clutch and roll the bike around. Be aware that the kick starter is engaged to the transmission at this point and that is not good. If you want to evaluate the bike to see if it is a keeper,here is where to start. First off,you are gonna need that electric starter to work because a bike that has been stored for years will leave you frustrated without that starter working.
First,check for frozen pistons. Remove the sparkplugs to take the compression off the engine. Put a little quality penetrating oil in the spark plug holes and turn the engine over by holding in the clutch and turning the nut that is located under the left cover where the stator [generator] lives. If it turns,your pistons are not stuck. However,we must still work around the fact that your kickstarter is probably "stuck" to the transmission.Remember to hold the clutch in at all times when doing any tests!
Now,that electric starter might work if we bypass a couple of storage issues. Old stored bikes are subject to a little corrosion on the connections between the starter button and wiring harness,so we need a quick test . The quickest test is to wire the positive post of a battery directly to the starter cable and use another heavy wire to ground the negative post to engine. Just touch it to the engine,and if it spins, you are on your way. Of course,remember to hold the clutch in when you do this test, because of your kickstarter. You can also quickly test the starter solenoid. there are 2 little lead wires on the solenoid that operate it. The black wire goes to the + terminal of the battery,and the red and yellow lead goes to ground. If the solenoid clicks,it should be OK. Of course,you will need some small test leads with alligator clips to do this test.
If you do not want to buy a motorcycle battery for now, just make some heavy test leads. I used old #12 stranded extension cord and wired all 3 wires to an eye connector and used a spare car battery.
I am sorry that I do not know more about kick starters,but since I have a 1974 CB 360, at least I can try stuff out on my bike for you to see what is "normal" for your bike
There is also some good info about "troubleshooting a bike that will not start" on dansmc.com. My bike sat for 20+ years in a barn,so let's hope that yours still has some life in it. Good luck.

put it in neutral and see if it makes the noise.
If you pull in the clutch and it makes noise or is still "connected" maybe its just worn out and is still engaged a little. Adjjust the clutch nut thing so that the clutch is fully disengaged when you pull in the lever. you know what i mean?>
Does the bike turn over when you kick it?
The not rolling thing could be one of the brakes rubbing or the chain is old and not moving properly.

Thank you both for the replies, I'll do what you have suggested within the next few days when I get a chance and let you know what's up.
When the bike is in gear and I hold in the clutch it will move *a little*. It is difficult to roll it forward, but it will go some (and make that clicking sound, possibly the ratchet like stuff on the kick starter?). But when I go to move it backward it won't roll at all. Surely the same things apply for a motorcycle as they do for a manual transmission car... definetly sounds like something is still engaged... It should roll backward and forward freely from what I understand, but there is alot of resistance. The brakes have been removed temporarily while we work on it, the back brake was locked due to corrosion on the brake shoes, so I know they don't have anything to do with it.
The bike does turn over when kicked, and there is compression. I've removed the spark plugs and just put my finger over the holes and I can feel it push them back just fine. It's chain is old indeed, but well greased up, and it rolls just fine in neutral and doesn't make the clicking sound. I do need to figure out the clutch adjustment situation. My dad was messing around with it before we realized that the bike was locked due to the rear brake corrosion, perhaps he didn't tighten it back up correctly.
Anymore thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

Ok... so it appears that the clutch is working properly, I adjusted it and readjusted to make sure. It seems that the kick starter shaft is staying engaged at all times, only once could I get the bike to roll backwards in gear without the kick starter lever moving with it, so it is clearly staying engaged. I really don't know what to do from here... I'm guessing I need to take the engine apart and see why it's stuck. It rolls forward just fine in gear with the clutch pulled, although you can hear that ratchet click sound on the kick starter shaft.
Any suggestions as to what you all may think the problem is? As I'm not sure if it is a common problem or not. Everything else seems to be working just fine aside from the electric starter.

Check for frozen pistons
Put the bike up on the double stand. Pull the spark plugs [to remove engine compression] and put the tranny in the highest gear. If the pistons are not frozen, the rear wheel can be turned by hand to turn the engine over.
Ok,let's assume that the engine is still stuck. It could be the pistons, or it could be the electric starter is stuck and that is why your friend broke the kick starter. See where this is going? It becomes a guessing game. If there is any way you can figure out how to get the kick starter disengaged,that would be a big help. Your electric starter for this bike probably has a chain that fastens on the starter gear. I am not certain,but i think the starter gear comes off the shaft along with the key. Just make sure that you do not drop the key or the chain inside the motorcycle. Now,after disengaging both starters,the engine is still stuck,it should be the pistons. Of course with the electric starter out,it can be tested and repaired.
If this were my bike and I could get enough of the kick starter linkage out of there,I would then repair the electric starter and forget about the kick starter.
You can also go to dansmc.com,click on the motorcycle repair course,and find 'troubleshooting a bike that will not start' He also has a section on kick and electric starters. Keep us posted

Honda CB360 kick starter problem
Hi Miranda
My 1995 Honda CB360 would rachet when the engine was spinning.
The engine was takin apart at one time and the kick start shaft and parts were put back together wrong.
The inner gear in the case was installed upside down and the ramp on the gear was not pulling the 2 gears apart when the kick starter lever was in the upright position.
If this is the case with your kickstart asy. the cases will need to be split and the gear will need to be removed and installed properly.
Good luck, Gary

"Just fluff, no stuff"
I'm really amazed how author violates his own advice of following 80/20 Pareto principle: the whole essence of the book can be "zipped" from 21 wordy principles to (at max) 3. With the exception of using a bright metaphor of "eating the frog" (created by Mark Twain) this book doesn't contain any new ideas, something that one cannot find in works of Dale Carnegie, Stephen Covey, and David Allen.
"Useful if you've not read any other Tracy"
Much of the same material that Tracy has written about before - Goal setting, specificity etc being the central theme. If you have not read any other Tracy before then I would recommend this book as it provides practical solutions to getting things done and dispensing with procrastination. But if you have seen his stuff before you may not discover anything particularly new here.
I look for books with ideas on multiple levels, a good story, and a bit of fun.
"Listen, act and you will see a difference"
As with many self-development books, the underlying ideas are not new. It is the style and language that makes all the difference, and in this book Mr. Peters has found an engaging style. It is positive and enthusiastic without being overly dramatic. Each of the 21 steps he presents are simple and small, and consequently easy to do.
As with all self-development books, the real challenge comes in breaking old, comfortable habits by doing new actions. With 'Eat That Frog', the new actions are easy to understand, simple enough to do immediately, and will make a difference.
I found this book to totally awesome and inspiring.
It gives you the meat and potatoes on how to break that debilitating procrastination habit.
Now it's up to you to follow through and WIN!
"A great to-the-point book"
This is a very practical book. The expression "eat that frog" sticks to your daily routine and you become more inclined to resit laziness and procrastination in a funny way. I have applied some of the techniques in the book in very little time, and the change is drastic. I am sure when I master all the advices, my sense of control and time management will certainly level up.
Most importantly, it walks you through your busy thoughts and gives you simple effective ways to discover what you really want and should do in life: How you can translate this to financial gain.
A remarkable book. Well written and the author does a great job narrating it.
If you have little time to spare, give your self as little as 15 minutes every day for this book and you will not regret it. Some of the techniques in the book will follow me for quite a long time if not permanently.
"Help for Procrastinators"
Easy-to-follow instructions on organizing your life. I felt there were good real-life examples. We have started the day-to-day system and are working on life goals. My husband bought the paperback so we could look over it again.
Lucky Dad
"Excellent Book"
Some of the ideas I already do day to day, but Brian covers some great ideas and has a great outlook on how to accomplish more every day. I highly recommend this book to EVERYONE. In business or not, you will find you will have better tools to deal with the speed that life moves at these days.
"Good Advice, but..."
Brian Tracy caught me from the start -- his examples hit the nail on the head as far as I was concerned. They were so much like the things I was experiencing as I listened to the book. His advice was very good, and he provided sound bites that I can use as daily affirmations (e.g., start where you stand). However, I felt he did not recognize the key role that technology plays in our lives today. For example, he talks about email as if it were an optional form of communication, rather than a primary mode as it is today. Basic information and advice was very good.
Occasional Thinker
"A Wasted Turn"
I'm sorry to say that lstening to this was a total waste of time for me . . . but it did painfully eat up a couple of hours that I might otherwise have put to attacking some useful items on my To-Do list, so my eternal procrastinator is grateful. . . . I have a hard time believing that any of these suggestions need to be written . . . and SOLD! . . . isn't this stuff (told in 97 slightly different ways) what all of us already know? I was hoping for a plan of real motivation and perspective that goes beyond the mere words in the title. Big Dissappointment.
"Couldn't Finish..."
This was one of the shortest books I've downloaded in a long time and yet I couldn't complete the book. The premise of the book was too simple. Essentially, it's to identify what you look forward to least and yet is most important and get it done first thing in the morning. To me that's an article in "Inc." or "Fast Company" magazines, not a book.

Have open and concealed carry gun laws affected your attitude while driving on our roads?
If not, maybe they should. Gone are the days when someone cut someone else off and all that was shot was a couple of birds in a covey of curse words. Mayhap the incident led to a fistfight – but both drivers usually walked away.
These days, you may be the bird shot as you shoot one. You should well consider the possibility that your road rage playmate has a hotter temper and be even crazier than you.
Think about it. You can get shot for blowing your horn at a fool who deserves a blast for some bonehead stunt. You never know if the person in front of you is mad at the spouse or boss (sometimes one and the same) and you just happen to be the first dog they get the chance to kick.
My rule of thumb is to assume the drivers around me are psychopaths.
Even on the best of days, there are plenty of cowards a hair trigger away from shooting someone, those who live by the Shooter's Bible maxim of "Never draw a gun unless you mean to shoot." They are literally loaded guns looking for a place to go off and it is a matter of "when," not "if."
Face it; there are people looking for a reason to stand their ground and do a Zimmer from their Hummer.
If both drivers in a confrontation are packing, you have a recipe for disaster. They are dangers not only to themselves but to innocent passengers and bystanders.
A recent incident in Michigan, allegedly after some tailgating, resulted in a confrontation at a car wash where both drivers pulled weapons. They had probably graduated from the same "Never pull it unless you mean to use it" school of ill-thought.
In any case, it was a classic case of "cock the Glock and rock" until the clips were emptied and both men died in the hail of gunfire. I guess the winner was the one who died last. Those of us who have the occasional cold thought might say it was just desserts, Darwinism at its best. Maybe the roads will get safer after all the clowns gun each other down.
I remember when "riding shotgun" was a term for claiming the front passenger seat in a vehicle where you didn't have to bow up in a backseat made for 6-year-olds. The term may regain its true Wild West meaning from the stage coach days. In this day and age of multitasking, one can drive and ride shotgun simultaneously.
It will be a rich man who takes this idea of mine and runs with it: Combine a smart phone and a gun, and everyone will already have the device at ear level ready to shoot whomever they deem to need such. There will be an app for that.
What the heck, you may soon have your own cell phone-controlled drone trail you and can call down a Hellfire missile strike on the offender without interrupting your call to your friends.

AVONDALE, Ariz. — NASCAR will continue to look at whether to limit Sprint Cup Series drivers in the Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series.
The more it continues to look doesn't necessarily mean the more it can find an answer.
Teams find it easier to find sponsorship for Cup drivers, and track operators believe that fans who can't afford a Cup ticket come to the Nationwide race to see some of the Cup drivers.

But there also is a portion of the fan base that believes the top starts should leave the developmental series to purely developmental drivers.
"We're definitely aware of the fan messaging we get," NASCAR Executive Vice President Steve O'Donnell said last week. "There's a balance we get, especially talking to the tracks, of having a Cup driver or two in the Trucks or Nationwide. … Take Dale (Earnhardt) Jr. or Brad Keselowski, the only reason why Brad got in (Earnhardt's) car, you sell Junior, and I'm going to have this young driver come along and endorse this driver."
Obviously the polarizing nature of Kyle Busch, who has 58 Nationwide wins and 36 truck wins since he went full-time Cup racing in 2005, has impacted the fans' feelings. Before NASCAR forced drivers to choose a series to earn points three years ago, the most recent Nationwide titles were won by Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer, Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards and Brad Kesleowski.
"People don't like it (because they think) I'm stealing candy from a baby," said Busch, who owns his own truck team. "(Until) the rules are changed or everybody else grows up and can beat me, then we're racing."
Busch splits his truck ride with Erik Jones and his team adds to the number of people employed in the industry. Driving for Joe Gibbs Racing in Nationwide, Busch laid off several employees after having to shut down his Nationwide team. And while there is a lot of clamor over Cup drivers in other series, the Nationwide race at Phoenix scheduled for Saturday has just six Cup drivers in a field of only 39 drivers, one driver short of a full field.
"We've looked at should they be limited in the number of races and we just had that dialogue in January and it's something we are really studying," O'Donnell said. "What's the overall benefit because we want to grow drivers through the series, but we also want eyeballs on the series and what's it going to take for that?"

The answer isn't just limiting the number of races, O'Donnell said.
"It would be very easy to say no Cup drivers or you could only race six races," O'Donnell said. "But Kyle, if you talk to him, or Brad (and his truck team), they'll come back and say 'I'm out because I can't stay in the series.'"
JR Motorsports co-owner Kelley Earnhardt Miller said having Cup drivers to help bring sponsors is vital to their business.
"It's important to be able to have the Cup guys in our series," Earnhardt Miller said. "I think the young guys that are in the series like to be able to race against talent like Dale and Kevin and those guys.
"We'll just have to find the balance for what makes it work. It's definitely part of our program and part of the leverage we use from a sponsorship standpoint."

Now it's Seattle's largest single-distance run/walk, jog or crawl where the winners cross the finish before the last person starts. The Dash covers nearly 4 miles of city streets with a 15,000 person ribbon of green. We'd love to see your photos – please post them in the comments section below. Cheers!
