Watch big cat keepers feed tigers, leopards, cougars and more while observing from just a few feet away. As you walk around the sanctuary with our feeders your guide will tell you about the cats on the feeding route, their diets, and how they hunt in the wild.
The Feeding Tour includes:
- Watching the wild cats being fed and learning about their diets.
- The diet consists of chunks of beef, chicken and a ground diet.
This tour is a great follow up to a regular Day Tour. On the Day Tour you will see a greater selection of cats representing all of the species residing at the sanctuary.
The tour is available on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 4:30pm – 5:30pm. Space for this program is extremely limited, so advanced booking is required. Participants in the Feeding Tour must be 10 years of age or older. If you would like to shop in the Trading Post Gift Shop, please come well ahead of schedule as the shop closes before you return from the Feeding Tour.

The feeding tour gave an opportunity to get an up-close look at several breeds of cats, including some that you can barely catch a glimpse of during the regular tour. The information you receive focuses on feeding behaviors in the wild, and how the cats' nutritional needs are met at the park. So, even if you've visited Big Cat Rescue before, you will enjoy this experience. My friend and I took the regular day tour, and loved it, but were so glad we "doubled up" and set this tour up for the same day.

I purchased tickets for a feeding tour the week prior, I then received an email the day before the tour was supposed to take place that the tour had been cancelled and we had been rescheduled to the end of the week. I had to extend my car rental to even attempt to make this date and time but got caught on the interstate as it was late day on a Friday and not mid-week like we had originally planned. Arrived severely late and the park was closed. I was traveling from Canada to see the cats and I was completely crushed.

Having done the day tour twice and over a period of several years, I thought it was time to try one of the other tours at Big Cat Rescue. The feeding tour is a great way to be sure that you see the cats when they're active... feeding time! It's a good way to learn about the cats, and nice to see that they're happily fed. During the day, a big cat typically rests and doesn't want to do a whole lot. You're kinda' invading thier bedroom on the day tour. At feeding time, they all come out to see what's for dinner, and they're typically in a good mood. You'll be sure to see the cats up close, and you'll be able to see that even the people taking care of them have a healthy respect for keeping a certain distance. Big Cat Rescue is a "no touch" facility, and the feeding is done utilizing specialized "lockouts" for greater cats, and cats who still have thier claws. This ensures everyone's safety, and also that you'll know right where to stand to get the best view of the happy cat while he's chowing down! It was a very enjoyable and worthwhile tour. One day, I look forward to trying the other tours that the facility has to offer.

This was the best. First we took the general tour @ 3pm. Saw a lot of cats and learned about them. Very enjoyable. Then we stayed for the 5;30 feeding tour. Cats were awake and very active. They came into their feeding areas and behaved like hungry cats. We loved it. Thank you BCR.

I REALLY apreciate my visit to Big Cat Rescue last week. We learn about this attraction in the AAA Florida Tourbook. This accredited sanctuary deserves more visibility because it saves and protects big cats. I saw that the organization is really concern about their big cat's health and happiness. We took a feeding tour as a first visit and since we were the only two on the tour, it was almost private! Willow provided us so much informations about the cats we saw and informed us about their diet, spécifications and their history too. My boyfriend and I enjoyed it so much that we are planning to go back everytime we'll travel to Florida. I highly recommand Big Cat Rescue to everyone, not only cats lovers :)

I have been enjoying the Big Cat Rescue for years. This is the first feeding tour I have been on. My staff bought tickets form me and my other half for Christmas 2013. I wanted to share the experience with my family when they came on vacation from Chicago so I purchased 5 more tickets for them. 2 adults, 2 teenagers and on 12 year old and of course us. We were all so impressed with the care, the expertice, and the understanding of each of the Cats' personalities and needs to care for them individually. Wow. The family is still texting me pictures a week later with rave reviews attached. Our first visit was rained out so we had to reschedule. All I can say is the folks at Zerve are teeeerrrrrriiiffffic also. Thanks for your service in making this an experience we will never forget.

Another Great Visit to BCR
|Wed, Aug 6 5:30 PM
This tour was very enjoyable. If a big cat can show appreciation, I think they did over and over as they were fed. These cats are so well cared for and it's nice to know that they will live out their lives in such a nice place. I am a regular donor and I think that it's such a worthy cause. I will definitely be back.

We paid for the feeding tour absolutely horrible idea, they guides hurry you through as they are trying to go home, myself and other spectators where hurried barely able to take pictures , they dont even take you through half of the site, i would have rather just made a simple donation knowing my money was for a cause but i felt fooled by watching these ppl work and i couldnt even see the majority of the cats we paid to see. the idea is great but the tour details are horrible , better luck to other ppl on vacation

It's a done deal for the latest subway contract for Bombardier.
On Thursday the Toronto Transit Commission approved an order for 186 additional subway cars to be built at the Thunder Bay railcar plant.
Thunder Bay Television first reported Wednesday that the $400-million contract will provide about 14 months of additional work for hundreds of employees at the local plant. The contract is an extension of the original TTC order for 234 cars, which local officials fought for and won in 2006 when the plant was in danger of closing due to a lack of orders. The plant spent several years developing the prototype six-car set, and the first shipment of the new Rocket subway cars is scheduled for delivery in August.This new order will keep the line running until the end of 2013.Bombardier spokesperson Marc-André Lefebvre said the company is pleased with how its negotiations with the TTC have gone.The extension boosts the total value of the subway contract to just over $1 billion.

Get ready to rethink Certain Software. Earlier this summer, the company released Meeting Planner Plus meeting management software, which is a lot like its Event Planner Plus product — on steroids.

*Slow clap*
I'm glad there are (evidently) serious conversations being had about the subjects of diversity and acceptance in the workplace. I'm cautiously optimistic that this is a sign of the times / an encouraging step in the right direction.
|Carlo Delallana
Empathy defeats intolerance and games are a natural vehicle for empathy and transformation. Being able to experience the plight of a character through interaction can be more powerful than passive viewing. I would love to see the diversity reflect back into the games we make and maybe that natural empathy that players get from playing a game can translate to the real world.
|Kaitlyn Kincaid
While I'm all for credit where credit is due, I'm not aware of any EA game that addresses the T in LGBT. LGB often gets all the attention in games, the very few times that the T is even addressed is obscure jRPGs (and that is rarely in a positive light). I've seen this called "the silent T problem".
Does this event actually plan to address LGBT issues, or is this another case of the T erroneously being tacked on to an LGB event?
|Jorge Ramos
While this all sounds well and good, knowing EA's corporate vs. some of the better people that work under them, I fear this is little more than a publicity stunt, rather than an ongoing effort by the company to recognize diversity among its gamers, especially given some of the rather stupid and downright offensive things that their execs have gone on record to state.
|Christopher J
This comment stood out to me "Reducing barriers for diverse people to tell diverse stories is a challenge of any entertainment industry," Bellamy says. "If you can reduce the friction to getting into roles of leadership, that's how more stories get told, period."
It makes me think that any company that expects to be a leader in creating awareness about cultural diversity needs to make a real effort to practice what they preach. EA needs to make sure to take note of the things said at their event and apply those philosophies at their studios in order to legitimized their dedication to this cause. If not, they run the risk of being labeled hypocrite. I hope they are sincere.
|Jimmy Albright
Came here and fully expected people to be critical of EA because EA.
Hey look, a big (largely hated) corporation is taking a stand for equal rights!
- Nah, it's just EA they don't really mean it they just want our money!
I can think of a woman who might disagree.
Article from 2 1/2 years ago, EA is the first gaming company to join the "It gets better project"
Here's another article from last year...
They also took a stand against the Defense of Marriage Act...
Some one above is also complaining about the lack of transgender roles in video games. I'd argue that unless your game is about the process of transitioning, by allowing the player to make male or female characters you're already targeting someone who would associate themselves as male or female.
At the risk of being horribly wrong (and I might be) I refer to someones gender as what they identify with. If the person is a born male, dressing and acting like a female then out of respect I don't refer to the person as "him".
Here is a link that sums up what I'm told by the transgender people I've met.
So, while I think it's important for everyone to have a character to identify with, people should understand that transgender people generally identify with the gender they're transitioning to. (The very definition of the word transgender states this) I don't want to rub anyone the wrong way, so if I'm explaining this poorly or offensively to someone please let me know.
|Jed Hubic
I don't mean to rain on any parades, but I have a hard time caring about any initiatives they undertake when there general stance towards consumers and gamers (of any gender, race, sexual preference, species, etc) is so blatantly horrible.
It's like getting dating advice from a rapist...
|Eric Schwarz
So I guess this means that all EA games will now have... what, token gay characters? Sorry, that's not the right way to go about this.
Give me 50/50 ratio of male to female lead characters who AREN'T sold using sex appeal, as well as characters who aren't solely defined by their sexuality (looking at you BioWare) and then maybe we'll start to talk diversity and acceptance. For now all I see is a marketing ploy trying to pick up a market segment that has been previously ignored by the vast majority of publishers. It's a step in the right direction, but it means nothing until I can't look at an EA game and wince in disgust at how heavy-handed and tacked-on its representations of alternate gender and lifestyle preferences appear.
Also, anyone notice how EA always pulls these pro-diversity stunts and announcements every time there's a controversy about how bad one of their new games is or how much they've screwed over their customers? Just saying, it's awfully convenient that this positive "we love everyone!" PR campaign has decided to rear its head immediately after the announcement of the failure of Dead Space 3 and cuts/layoffs/downsizing to its developers (which EA was largely responsible for fueling in the first place) as well as immediately after the broken mess that was SimCity 5's launch and the insulting manner in which it was conducted (enjoy your ban from all our games for asking for a refund/providing negative critique).

Young Studio
National Park Service, Weir Farm National Historic Site
Weir/Young Period
The interior of the main studio includes a north wall mezzanine, and east and west wall balconies at the second-floor level. This area would be furnished with a library's worth of reference material. Mahonri's son, Bill Young, recalled that his father "spent most of his life in a studio. When he wasn't working he would think in it (in a creative way)."
A small pre-existing structure, Caroline Weir Ely's ca. 1915 book bindery, was attached to the western side of the studio. This room uses some of the multi-paned windows that were part of the Weir Studio before renovations eliminated their use. Mahonri Young used this room for etching.
Initially the exterior of the Young Studio was painted white, with only the southern facade of the former book bindery painted red. Dorothy Weir Young's account book confirms this information in a 1934 record for painting the exterior of the Weir House with red paint, "some left for M's studio." By 1942 the south and west walls of the studio were painted red. The northern wall of the main studio might have painted white through 1946, but the exact date is unknown. The exterior of the northern facade was painted red to match the east and south studio walls.
The exact date is unknown; however, additional windows were added to the north wall between 1932 and circa 1946.
Andrews Period
Did You Know?
Weir Farm National Historic Site is located in the historic town of Branchville, Connecticut. It was named for the "branch" of the train line that used to connect the Danbury railroad to the center of Ridgefield, Connecticut.

Nuclear Security
Time to Expand the G-8 Global Partnership
Combating the spread of weapons of mass destruction can only occur in an inclusive multilateral framework
The G-8 Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction is a vital international security and nonproliferation tool for coordinating chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threat reduction activities on a global scale. With 23 countries signed on to the agreement, it helps prevent proliferators, terrorists, or other nonstate actors from acquiring such weapons.
In the newest issue of Courier, our editor takes on Godzilla to find out what the fictional prehistoric monster can teach us about our collective fight to solve common global problems. Keith Porter writes about the challenges that global governance faces in the future.
We also have a sobering look at the Central African Republic, a piece on India's climate change policy, and an interview about genocide prevention. Lastly, an investigative news nonprofit takes a deep dive into Japan's controversial plutonium-reprocessing plant.

Listening to a Les Kerr cd is like getting a hug from an old friend. Warm, familiar - and energizing. There's something about Les' music that brings back happy memories, even though the tunes you're listening to are brand new. Les's latest cd, The Americana Boogie, is a great example – with the mash up of musical styles on the title track, the shuffling "Comfort Music", and "Mississippi Sunshine" – a driving around with the top down kind of tune.
Beaches, Bands & Bars
Dedicated to the people and places that make "Life's A Beach" more than just bumper sticker wisdom - whether that beach is at your back door or, like Margaritaville, just in your mind. From beach bars and boat drinks to Parrot Heads and Trop Rockers...

CD Reviews: Jambo Joe Bones, Barefoot Man, Dani Hoy, Dave McKenney
Jambo Joe Bones "Buccaneers, Ballads & Bellyflops".
Like Don Middlebrook, Swim Skinny, and The Boat Drunks, Jambo proves once again you don't have to live at the beach to act like you do. Hailing from the very un-tropical climes of Wisconsin, Jambo Joe nevertheless finds plenty of warm weather inspiration for his music. He also holds the distinction of having the best mustache in all of Trop Rock.
Jambo's latest collection of beach worthy tunes kicks off with one of three songs on the cd that involve airplanes. "Air Sunshine" is a bouncy number about an airline that doesn't exist but would get a ton of Parrot Head business if it did. With hammocks and bar stools for seats, bikini-clad stewardesses, and Isaac from the Love Boat onboard to pour the libations…where can I buy a ticket? At the core, it's a song about a subject many of us can relate to – escaping. In Jambo's case, from "The coldest damn day of the winter" to "a tropical place". Where, exactly, doesn't really matter. It's all in your head, after all. Speaking of in your head, "Mermaids Are For Real" makes a case for the existence of the finny females. At least, that's Jambo's story and he's stickin' to it. It wouldn't be a proper Trop Rock cd without a drinking song or two. Check. "Margarita Bomb" is a cautionary tale that rocks, co-written by and featuring Bones' frequent musical partner in crime, Amy M.
Another one of my favorite tracks is the loping country ditty, "On A Scale of One To Dumbass". It's an appropriate soundtrack for taking stock of a wild weekend: "You can't bellyflop on a table top, or swim skinny while you're baked…" You may have heard a live version of it on my BeachFrontRadio show, "Trop Rockin' Live". I mentioned there are three airplane songs on "Buccaneers, Ballads & Bellyflops". "The Plane Left Without Me" is a familiar tale of having one (or three) too many and "accidentally" missing the last plane out. And track six, "Dairy Air" happily reps Wisconsin while showcasing Jambo's often salty sense of humor. And who doesn't like polka music and double entendres? The nautical bow on Jambo's latest cd is "Living Like A Pirate", a sea faring sing-along that inspires rum drinking and once again features Amy M singing lines like "Scallawags are after me booty". It's also another song I have played a live version of on TRL…
The Barefoot Man "Sand Dollars"
From his beach-side perch at the Reef Resort in Grand Cayman, George Nowak, aka, The Barefoot Man is a local legend for his raucous and rowdy shows, not to mention his penchant for getting women to want his autograph in places where the sun don't usually shine. His bio claims that he has written 2,000 songs and recorded 500 of them. Swerving from Calypso and Reggae to Country – and a little bit of everything in between - the nine originals and three covers on his latest release, "Sand Dollars" happily add to that collection.
Personal favorites include: "Sailing on Moku", a nautical tune that rides a Calypso beat. The pedal steel infused "I'll Never Leave Nippers Again", a song that wouldn't sound out of place on a Hank Snow cd. And the Hawaiian-y title track, "Sand Dollar".
"It's A Rental" pokes a stick at inconsiderate tourists, "Have You Tried Fishing" offers a tropical solution to the daily grind, and "Dumb Ass" puts the Barefoot spin on the old Kenny Rogers classic, "Lucille"
Much of 'Foot's notoriety is based on his "not for kids" material…Tracks like "The Pussycat Song" and "Beaver Island" always get the crowd fired up. "Sand Dollars" includes the equally salty, "Should Have Used A Condom". And his cover of the Great Mighty Sparrow's "Congo Man" throws plenty of double entendres, along with a couple of not so willing females, into the cook pot.
The other two cds I received this month came via Drop Box instead of the mail. The only down side to that delivery method is that I don't get the cd sleeve with liner notes, and, often, lyrics… But, I do have the music and that's the best part!
Dani Hoy "Songs Of Love & The Ocean".
Dani's disc is one of the most pleasantly surprising albums I've heard in a while from a relative newcomer. It's also great to hear another female voice on the Trop Rock scene, especially out in front and recording solo records.
Like the Barefoot Man, Dani plies a variety of musical genres – from the Zydeco inspired title track to the Blues/Country ballad, "Walking In The Rain In New Orleans". "Summer Songs" throws some ska-horns and Hawaiian slack-key guitar in to the Gumbo for a great top down driving song. "Gone Native" sounds like Bonnie Raitt at the beach. "Last Day On The Island" is a smoky, down tempo number that conjurs up images of candle lit tables in an after-hours Caribbean bar. And "Whiskey Kisses" gets the full old-school country treatment from veteran producer, Kevin Johnston.
Although her bio says she's been playing guitar and singing for several decades, it's only been in the last four or five years that she has taken her talent out on the road. Twice nominated for Trop Rock Music Association Awards, Dani's first cd, featuring songs like "Tropi-Gal" and "Meet Me On The Boardwalk", introduced her to the Trop Rock world. "Songs Of Love…" should make her a full-sail force to be reckoned with.
Dave McKenney "Four Hour Lunch Break".
Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, singer/songwriter Dave McKenney stays busy playing all along the eastern Seaboard. He has also made appearances at Parrot Head phriendly events like Stars On The Water and Meeting Of The Minds. Another relative newcomer to the Trop Rock world, Dave's debut disc features mostly originals from what I can tell (again, not having the cd sleeve means I don't have songwriting credits). The one track I'm sure is a cover is John Frinzi's "Bouyancy". Of the originals, several tracks stand out – including "The Inlet", which features some nice acoustic finger picking, the bouncy country of "Florida Kind Of Sunday", the jazzy "Martin's View", and the appropriately titled "Carolina Laid Back Point Of View". Maryland boaters and trop rock fans will also recognize the subject of "The Big Owl". If I was going to judge by the music and lyrics of "Four Hour Lunch Break", McKenney seems to believe in "No worries, no hurries"…and that's a worldview that works for me. Add this cd to the collection, pour a glass of good Rum and throw it on next time you're sitting on your deck watching the sun go down.

CD "Review": Jim Morris, "The Man Who Offered The Moon"
I have seen Jim Morris live a number of times and have been to – even hosted – lots of House Concerts. But, I have never seen Jim Morris at a House concert. It's on my Bucket List! Jim is one of those rare singer/songwriters – like Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Buffett - able to populate his songs with larger than life characters. Whether it's the serendipitous lover and her teacher and banker friends in "Thursday Afternoon at the Conch House Lounge" or the Tropical Man in "Laid Back and Key Wasted" - they may not ACTUALLY exist, but they sure seem like they could – or should. I'd love to spend some quality time listening to Jim talk about the stories behind his songs, find out how much is truth with "names changed to protect the guilty" and how much is poetic license.
Jim continues the tradition on his latest cd, "The Man Who Offered the Moon". Take track number nine, for example - "Long Money" - where Jim gets booked to play a private party at a beachfront mansion where the guests are "doctors and lawyers and assorted egomaniacs". The women in attendance are "surgically blessed and all those parts they purchased seem to fit together well". The host of the shindig, referred to only as the "Big Dog", is a "smiley fella" who has been "working hard turning paradise into condos". It's a five and a half minute short film set to music. You can imagine the "beautiful lady" when she walks in to the party, picture the manicured lawn "littered with bottles of bourbon and vodka and gin". It's the sign of a great songwriter when you can "see" the song, as well as hear it.
In "Party Dress", the scene is another party, this one "right there on the bayou, down around New Orleans". The host of this soiree is a fella named "Dickie Bones" who likes to drink and dance and who "greets you when you come to call". Beer and Margaritas flow, and a band plays while "Frankie boils the crawfish". Once again, it's such a vivid picture you'll find yourself wishing you had been there!
Another reason Jim Morris sits among the upper echelon of Trop Rock artists is his often understated sense of humor. I say understated because he doesn't resort to tired clichés – doesn't hit you over the head with the punch line. Take "Your Girlfriend Says Hello": The hero in the song quits the job that was making him unhappy, tells the boss "the dream you were selling just didn't work out" and runs off to enjoy sand and sea with a new lady friend - who is, well the title says it all. The twist is that, throughout the song she is referred to as "your girlfriend", until the last thirty seconds of the song when that changes to "MY girlfriend". Then there is "Tonight I Came Here To Drink", where the singer tells a woman at the bar in a skimpy dress and great legs to "stop pointing them at me", then observes "I see you're from Brazil, or at least you appear to be". That doesn't mean Morris can't be blunt when he wants to. He also says "Came Here to Drink", "It's hard to concentrate when I'm staring at your ass". Or take "Mr. Right". I don't think anyone is going to accuse him of subtlety when the object of the singer's affection is asked "Why don't you do me?"
Other stand out tracks include the nostalgic "One Layer of Clothes", with Morris and a college buddy jumping into a sports car and hitting the road in search of " a world we'd never seen, things we'd never done". Who can't relate to their younger days when money wasn't important and time was irrelevant? "The End Of Time" follows the popular Trop Rock scenario of a guy who ditches the corporate world to find what really makes him happy, including "sunny skies, salty air" and a "girl who says she loves me, fine Jamaican Rum". It includes one of my favorite Jim Morris lines of all time: "I'll be happy until the end of time, but I hope it never comes." And, finally, remember the old Disco nugget "It's Raining Men"? Personally, I like Jim's weather report a whole lot better. "Raining Rum" tells the story of a guitar player who "grew up in Kentucky on a rutabaga farm", whose "mom died in a bar fight, and "dad was Baptist preacher 'till the cops found all the dope". You'll just have to listen to the song to find out, as the late Paul Harvey would say, the rest of the story. It's another one of those colorful narratives that makes you want to find out how much is based on reality and how much is pure fiction. One of the most upbeat songs on the cd, it's destined to be a Jim Morris concert favorite.
Some additional details: Trop Rock heart throb John Patti is responsible for the steel drums and percussion on "The Man Who Offered The Moon" and twelve of the thirteen tunes are Morris originals – the only cover being Rodney Crowell's "Song For Life".

CD overview: Scott Kirby, "Sol Searching"
Scott Kirby, Sol Searching, Little Flock Music
I've told this story so many times, if you have heard it before feel free to skip forward a few lines. Back about seven or eight years ago, I was listening to Radio Margaritaville when I heard – with a nod to Monty Python – "something completely different". The lyrics had to do with the beach, but it wasn't done by Jimmy Buffett. The RM website didn't tell me who it was and I listened for the dj to announce the song but he never did. The same thing happened the next half dozen or so times I heard it – but each time I would stop whatever I was doing and listen, transfixed by the lyrics about living by blue water – something I have had the opportunity to do a couple of times, only to get yanked back to reality way before I felt it was time. I long to do it again someday and I wore the words of the song like a dream coat. Eventually, I found out the song was called "Lucky Enough" by Scott Kirby. I have had the good fortune to see Scott perform several times – interviewed him for my blog, Beaches, Bands & Bars. Not only do I credit him (and Radio Margaritaville) for opening my eyes and ears to the world of Trop Rock, but Scott remains one of my favorite Trop Rock performers – and that song, "Lucky Enough", still sits on my list of favorite songs of all time... "I'll raise my glass, you can kiss my old ass" indeed.
Fast forward to 2013 and Scott's latest cd, Sol Searching. It's his sixth studio outing – seventh overall, counting his live "Night On The Beach" cd. And, once again, it's full of reflections on the turning of one's calendar pages and the desire to find that place in your life that makes YOU happy, where you're "Lucky Enough". But, unlike some artists who tend to focus on the partying side of our annual trip around the sun – the "bright and shiny" - Scott's songs tend towards the wistful and introspective. But, not in a negative sense. I made the observation to Scott once that, at first listen his lyrics may sound "glass half empty", he is really an optimist. He seemed surprised by that but thought some more and finally said, "I guess you're right!". It's the difference between writing about the rainbow and writing about the guy holding the empty pot at the other end, waiting for it to get filled with Gold. And, if only a few coins fall in it's ok, as long as you're near someone you love – and blue water. The opening track is a great example, "Turning Of The Tide". Featuring a melancholy harmonica and gentle piano, it includes lines like "Days go by and how time flies…" and "Baby we were born to be in a shanty down by the sea…cause folks like us were meant to live in small houses". But, like many of Scott's songs, it isn't about giving up, it's about acceptance, and finding fulfillment in those things that make you smile. In "Turning", once the singer accepts that "the big new place, you see, it was never meant to be" he lays his head down to get a good night's sleep.
Next up is the title track, with its play on words (Sol being the Spanish word for Sun). Cut from similar cloth, musically, with a saxophone substituting for harmonica, "Sol Searching" immediately makes me want to pack up the car and drive somewhere whenever I hear it - Anywhere there are boats bobbing on the water. "Pick up the pieces, pick up the pace…when all you want to do is feel the sun on your face" and "When you wake stark mad in the middle of the night…southwind whispers, baby, book that flight". If I ever get a boat, I want to name it Sol Searching.
Although Scott spends a lot of time in Key West and the bar in which he's a co-owner, the Smokin' Tuna, he splits his year between there and his "home port" in New England. Several songs on Sol Searching pay homage to those roots, including track three, "Any Old Town In New England". A clap along rocker, the focus is on Beantown but places like Nantucket Sound and Narragansett Bay also get name dropped. "Vineyard" (the only track on the cd not written by Scott) and the closing number, "Old Beach House" also take the listener to the Northeastern US – the latter an especially poignant song about respecting where you come from that could have just as easily been recorded by the late, great John Denver. "Life is not a perfect thing, it's tattered and it's torn, like the curtains in this old beach house the wooden steps so worn. But, when it's all been said and done we do the best we can and pray for one more perfect day…"
I have used words like wistful, melancholy, and poignant to describe Scott Kirby's music but he is no sour puss. As I said earlier, his songs brim with an understated optimism - and more than a little humor. "Guys Like Us", for instance, explores the chemistry between crazy women and the fellas who fall for them, "You Better Believe Her!" is about – well, crazy women ("If she tells you she's bat shit crazy you better believe her") and "Whiskey" is a funky, bluesy love letter to that golden spirit.
I can't review a Scott Kirby cd without mentioning the sound. While some Trop Rockers opt for the lo-fi approach, letting electronics substitute for real musicians (generally due to limited budget), Kirby cds, Sol Searching included, are full-on professional productions, with strings, brass and lots of top notch guests. Peter Mayer lends backing vocals and the All-Star rhythm section of Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar (Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Stevie Nicks, Carole King, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt) lend a hand on "Guys Like Us".
Another outstanding outing from a true singer/songwriter. Now, excuse me while I pour a glass of rum, settle in to my comfy chair… and do a little "Sol Searching". For more on Scott and his music, www.scottkirby.com

In association with
World Superbikes
24 February 2013 01:44
Aprilia dominated the opening round of the 2013 World Superbike Championship, with factory riders Sylvain Guintoli and Eugene Laverty first and second, and Red Devils Roma Aprilia rider Michael Fabrizio rounding out the podium.
Laverty led off the line for the first half of the race, until Guintoli picked his way through the battle for second at the half way point, catching Laverty on lap 14.
Fabrizio also left himself with work to do, going from his front row start to 13th at the end of the first lap, but slowly working his way forward to battle with Laverty in the closing laps, before a last lap overtake saw Laverty win the dash to the line by 0.007.
The battle for third was initially between Haslam, Melandri and Checa until Checa wiped out Melandri at the Honda Hairpin on lap 13, going too fast into the turn and catching Melandri's back wheel as he attempted evasive action.
Chaz Davies was the eventual winner of the battle, taking fourth on his BMW debut ahead of Kawasaki teammates Tom Sykes and Loris Baz, with Haslam rounding out the group.
Haslam's Pata Honda teammate Jonathan Rea was a distant eighth, over 11 seconds back on Haslam, while Fixi Crescent Suzuki rider Leon Camier was ninth and Max Neukirchner finishing out the top ten.
Checa was knocked unconscious in his lap 13 crash and has been taken to a mainland hospital for checkups, and will not start race two.

PS: 150% agree on your Avatar. I feel He is determined to destroy the way of life in the USA & Christianity. I truly believe he's a Muslim & only claimed to be a Christian to help win the election. The experts say there will be enough Muslims in the USA by 2025 that they can elect a Muslim president on their vote alone. I sure hope they are wrong since it seems they want the USA under their Doctrinal Law.
Saw your reference on our mutual GB Bell05. Wanted to add my congrats on the 1,100 consec. Over 3 yrs, WOW!
I can never keep mine going. Something always happens to cause me to loose a day. Most were site errors but even when I submitted proof they wouldn't change there 3 resets per life. Now I just post along & try not to worry about it any more. Glad some others, like you, are able to maintain theirs it takes more effort than most realize.
Hey gas buddy, let me give you A BIG CONGRATS on your 1100 Cons. Days!! Keep up the good work. David...........QQ

The Multimodal Interaction Activity seeks to extend the Web to allow users to dynamically select the most appropriate mode of interaction for their current needs including any disabilities in order to enable Web application developers to provide an effective user interface for whichever modes the user selects. With multimodal Web applications, users can provide input via speech, handwriting and keystrokes, with output presented via displays, pre-recorded and synthetic speech, audio, and tactile mechanisms such as mobile phone vibrators and Braille strips.
The goal of the Multimodal Interaction Activity is to clearly define how to author concrete multimodal Web applications, for example, coupling a local GUI (e.g., HTML user agent) with a remote Speech I/F (e.g., VoiceXML user agent). The Multimodal Interaction Working Group is important as a central point of coordination within W3C for multimodal activities, and the group collaborates with other related Working Groups, e.g. Voice Browser, Scalable Vector Graphics, Compound Document Formats, Web Applications and Ubiquitous Web Applications.
EmotionML was published as a W3C Recommendation on 22 May 2014. Also the updated EmotionML Vocabularies Note was published on 1 April 2014.
Now the group is working on 2.0 version of EMMA specificaiton to extend the capability of EMMA, e.g., sonsor output, streaming data and incremental recognition. Also the group is discussing MMI Modality Component discovery and registration.
The procedure for rechartering the group is ongoing.
The group held two F2F meetings, one in Shenzhen in November, 2013 during TPAC 2013 and another in February, 2014 in N.Y. hosted by AT&T.
The group will continue the discussion on (1) EMMA 2.0 and (2) MMI Modality Component discovery and registration.
The group thinks the newly generated Web of Things topic is related to the group's work, so some of the group participants will join the upcoming W3C Web of Things Workshop and see how the MMI Architecture could be applied to the ecosystem of "Web of Things".
The group will hold its F2F meeting during TPAC 2014 in Santa Clara in November.

|cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces (1 stick)
|3 to 4 tablespoons
|ice water
|Herbed Salad:
|1 teaspoon
|Dijon mustard
|2 tablespoons
|red wine vinegar
|¼ cup
|extra virgin olive oil
|2 teaspoons
|chopped herbs such as basil, chives and parsley
|Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
|2 cups
|baby greens such as spinach or arugula
For the Beef Carpaccio:
- Wrap the tenderloin well in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until frozen. Remove from the freezer and season all sides with the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium-sized, non-stick sauté pan over high heat. When hot, add the tenderloin and sear all sides until nicely browned and caramelized, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the pan and store in the refrigerator until cool. Remove from the refrigerator and cut against the grain into 1/8 inch thick slices. Arrange the slices cylindrically onto 4 serving dishes and season lightly with kosher salt and black pepper.
- To garnish the dish, drizzle the meat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle on the shallots, chives, celery moons, arugula, cheese, radishes and celery leaves. Serve immediately.
For the Blue Cheese and Herb Quiche:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness to fit an 8-inch fluted tart pan. Fill the pan with the dough and lightly press the dough against the sides. Roll the rolling pin over the edge of the shell to trim off the excess dough.
- Line the shell with parchment paper and fill the shell with ceramic pie weights or dried beans. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for 9 minutes. Remove baking sheet from the oven and set the tart pan on a baking rack to cool. Remove the parchment paper and the weights. Reduce the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a medium size bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, the blue cheese and the butter. Whisk in the eggs until well blended. Stir in the cream, the milk, the salt, the pepper and the herbs. Pour the filling into the pre-baked shell, return the shell to the baking sheet, and bake for 25 minutes, rotating from front to back half-way through, until quiche is puffed and golden brown. Quiche is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the quiche from the baking sheet and set aside on a cooling rack to cool at least 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Savory Pie Crust:
- Add the flour, the salt, and the pepper to the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and process until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. While the machine is running, drizzle in the water and continue to process until the dough comes together to form a ball. Transfer the pie dough to a lightly floured surface and shape into a flat disc. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour or up to overnight. The dough may also be frozen for up to a month and thawed in the refrigerator before using.
Herbed Salad:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, olive oil, herbs and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the greens in a salad bowl and drizzle with the dressing. Toss to combine and serve alongside the quiche.

1 cup
Pace® Picante Sauce
1 1/2 pounds
ground beef
1 cup
dry bread crumbs
egg, beaten
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon
Worcestershire sauce
4 cloves
garlic, minced
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
4 medium
potatoes, each cut into 8 wedges
This is the first meatloaf my wife has requested I make again :)
I had to make a couple alterations, she hates spicy food, so ketchup instead of picante and half the garlic. Other than that it came out amazing.

In our continuing look at players in this year's NBA draft who may be available and help the Bulls, we will be profiling former Michigan guard Nik Stauskas.
Stauskas measures 6'6″ and weighs 205 pounds. He averaged about 17 points per game-per 40 minutes, shooting 47% overall(44% from beyond the arc, and 50% from 2-point).
Stauskas has great mechanics on his shot. He sets his feet well and he has a quick release. He is a cerebral player who can make adjustments during a play. Worked hard last summer to improve his game, and it worked. He is not just a shooter, but a well-rounded offensive player being able to spot up for shots, shoot off the dribble and hit shots without much daylight. He even showed he could play a little point guard in a pinch.
The hard work Stauskas put in during the summer has helped him shoot up the draft board. He was originally an early second, late first round projection, but has now gone up to 10-15. He very well could be available at sixteen.
After Michigan lost their big three that led them to the NCAA Championship game last season, the Wolverines looked to Stauskas to be their go-to man, and he responded, becoming a team leader.
Though he is able to set his feet quickly on his shot, Stauskas does not have good speed. With the bigger, stronger and faster players in the NBA, he could have trouble running defenders off screens, and he could end up being just a spot-up shooting specialist in the NBA.
With his lack of body strength and below average speed, Stauskas could struggle defensively at the higher level. He could benefit from Thibodeau's coaching, however. While he probably will not be an elite defender, with his work ethic and proper coaching he could be average defensively. Remember, too, he played just two seasons at Michigan, so his body can still mature.
Seeing that there is a premium in shooting at the NBA level, Nik Stauskas may go high. If he is available to the Bulls, his shooting can be something the Bulls may not be able to pass up.

NCAA division I athletes preferences for coaching behaviors.
Date: December 2003
Creator: Barnes, Kelly A.
Description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether coaching behavior preferences of NCAA Division I athletes differ as a function of gender and type of sport. The Coaching Behavior Questionnare (CBQ; Martin & Barnes, 1999) was administered to 195 NCAA Division I athletes. Gender and sport type were the independent variables and the participant's mean scores for the subscales on the CBQ were the dependent variables. Descriptive statistics revealed that, overall, NCAA Division I athletes prefer positive and instructional behaviors more than non-responses or negative behaviors. A 2 (gender) x 3 (type of sport) MANOVA and follow-up discriminant function analysis indicated that coaching behavior preferences differed as a function of gender and type of sport played. Thus, NCAA Division I coaches should consider both individual and situational characteristics when working with their athletes to achieve the desired outcome.

The Influence of Perceived Support From Parental and Peer Relationships on Students' Health-related Beliefs and Behaviors
Date: May 2013
Creator: Barton, Mitch
Description: College is an important time for young adults, but most college students fail to meet the daily recommendations for physical activity. Social support is associated with positive health practices, but limited research is available on the role of perceived support from specific relationships, (e.g., peers and parents). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of perceived support from parental and peer relationships on health-related beliefs and behaviors. Participants (N = 333) completed the Quality of Relationships Inventory, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Satisfaction With Life scale, and a short version of the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire. While highly active students did not necessarily have more socially support relationships, females self-reported more conflict with both parents and more depth and support with a special person in their life than males, and parental and peer relationships appeared to be a greater influence on females' perceptions of satisfaction and self-worth.

Oxygen Uptake Kinetics in Severe Intensity Exercise
Date: May 2000
Creator: Blumoff, Sonja
Description: The purpose of this study was to describe mathematically the oxygen uptake kinetics during cycle ergometry, and to examine the effect of intensity on the kinetic responses within the severe domain. Sixteen volunteers performed a series of exercise tests at a range of intensities selected to elicit fatigue in ~3 to 10 min. A simple mono-exponential model effectively described the response across all intensities. There was a positive correlation between the response time and the time to fatigue, demonstrating that the maximal oxygen uptake was achieved faster at higher intensities within the severe domain. Models incorporating two components effectively described the responses only in tests lasting 8 min or more. It was concluded that there is a second, slow component in the oxygen uptake response only at the lower intensities within the severe domain.

Effects of Endurance Intensity and Rest Interval on Subsequent Strength Performance
Date: May 1996
Creator: Books, Gregory D. (Gregory Douglas)
Description: The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of cycling exercise at different intensities and rest intervals on strength performance. Ten males, engaged in concurrent training for at least one month prior to testing, comprised the subject group for this study. Results show only leg press torque and leg press work to be decreased after cardiorespiratory exercise of moderate intensity. Leg extension average power, chest press torque, chest press power, and chest press work after cycling were not decreased from pre-exercise values. No significant effects were found for exercise intensity, testing times, or intensity by testing times. These results indicate that lower body strength is decreased by cycling and that one hour is not sufficient to restore leg strength.

The Construct Validity of Self-Reported Historical Physical Activity
Date: May 2002
Creator: Bowles, Heather R.
Description: The purpose of this study was to determine the construct validity of self-reported historical walking, running, and jogging (WRJ) activity. The criterion measure was concurrent performance on a maximal treadmill test. Subjects completed a medical exam and treadmill test between the years 1976 and 1985, and completed a follow-up questionnaire in 1986. Questionnaire included an item that assessed WRJ for each year from 1976 through 1985. Data analysis included Spearman correlations, partial correlations, ANOVA, and ANCOVA. Results indicated self-reported historical WRJ can be assessed with reasonable validity when compared with concurrently measured treadmill performance, and there is no decay in the accuracy of this reporting for up to ten years in the past.

Mechanisms Affecting Bench Press Throw Performance while Using a Counter-Balanced Smith Machine
Date: May 2011
Creator: Buddhadev, Harsh
Description: The use of a counter-balance weight system of a Smith machine affects measures of bench press throw performance. Twenty-four men performed bench press throws at 30% of their one-repetition maximum under four different conditions: 1) counter-balance and rebound movement (RC), 2) no counter-balance and rebound movement (RNC), 3) counter-balance and concentric only movement (CC), and 4) no counter-balance and concentric only movement (CNC). Peak power, force, and concentric and eccentric velocities were measured using a linear accelerometer; and peak ground reaction force (GRF) was measured using a forceplate. Peak measures for concentric and eccentric velocities showed that NCB> CB and RBT > CBT. Peak GRF measures showed CB > NCB and RBT > CBT. The lower performance measures for CB were likely due to an increase in the net external load when the barbell accelerates faster than the gravitational constant causing the counter-balance weight becomes ineffective.

The effects of motivational and instructional self talk on the attentional focus of high school distance runners.
Date: May 2005
Creator: Burgess, Amber G.
Description: The purposes of this study were to examine the (a) attentional focus strategies used by high school distance runners, (b) changes in attentional focus across four laps in three 1.6 km runs, and (c) effects of a pre-performance intervention using motivational and instructional self talk on the attentional focus strategies used by and performance of high school distance runners. Participants (N = 42) completed a background and demographic questionnaire, the Cross Country Attentional Focus Inventory (CCAFI), a motivational and instructional statement survey, and the Self-Motivation Inventory. A series of oneway ANOVAs revealed significant differences in the types of attentional strategies used by each group, as well as fluctuations in use of strategies. The experimental group associated more during the each of the 1.6 km trials, whereas the control group dissociated more throughout each trial. A significant group by week interaction was found, with the experimental group maintaining their performance and the control group slowing from week one to week three.

Responses During Exercise at 90% and 100% of the Running Velocity Associated with VO2max (vVO2max)
Date: August 1995
Creator: Burt, Shane E. (Shane Eugen)
Description: Six male long-distance runners participated in this study to evaluate the responses to exercise at 90% and 100% vV02max. Subjects participated in five maximal exercise tests: one incremental, three tests at 90% vV02max, and one test at 100% vV02max. The results of this study demonstrate that V02max can be elicited in a constant-velocity test at 90% vV02max.

Resilience and Health Outcomes in Patients with Traumatic Injury
Date: August 2011
Creator: Christensen, Megan Elizabeth
Description: Due to the increasing healthcare costs and reduced length of hospital stay it is becoming increasingly important to identify individuals who are 'at risk' of experiencing long-term health issues. The purpose of the study was to: (1) determine if resilience, self efficacy and depression changed from inpatient to 3-month follow up; (2) examine the relationship between resilience, self efficacy, depression, and quality of life (social roles/activity limitations) at inpatient and 3-month follow up; and (3) identify if resilience at inpatient is related to change scores in selfefficacy and depression at 3-month follow up. Results from the paired sample t-test indicated that participants did not experience a significant change from inpatient to 3-month follow up in resilience or self-efficacy, but a significant decrease in depression was observed. Findings also indicated significant correlations between resilience, self-efficacy, and depression during inpatient stay and resilience, self-efficacy, depression, and quality of life at 3-month follow up. However, there was no relationship found between resilience and change scores in self-efficacy and depression. Future resilience research should continue to identify the variables that are most strongly related to resilience so effective interventions can be developed that improve rehabilitation outcomes, decrease secondary and chronic conditions as well as ...

This review is full of SPOILERS. Do not read if you haven't seen the episode and want to remain the dark.
With only one episode remaining in Season 2 of Elementary, it was clearly time for the showrunners to reveal a couple key details about Mycroft. After spending an entire season violently changing my mind about the man, the writers treated us to that experience all over again in one 44 minute episode. It got dizzying. But it created so much excitement that I'm now buzzing for the finale.
It was clear since the beginning of season 2 that Mycroft and his relationship with Sherlock was going to be a cornerstone of the show, but it wasn't really as clear how much canon would sneak its way in throughout. In fact, until this week it seemed very little about Mycroft's true work would be shown in Elementary, but I'm both thankful and relieved that his bizarre behavior was indicative of not only his role in MI6, but done largely out of a need to protect Sherlock during one of his darkest times. This was perhaps the most deft change in the show this season.
In the final moments of last week's episode, Joan Watson was captured by a frequent patron at Mycroft's New York restaurant. She had discovered he was a wanted murderer and well, he's a jerk, so he took her. As Holmes so clearly says at the beginning of the episode, "your very bad friends have taken my very good friend." Mycroft and Sherlock are going to have to work together to get her back and the contempt could not be thicker.
This episode is meaningful for different reasons though. It's the directorial debut for Lucy Liu, who deftly manages to create an intensity that clearly transitions us into the final two episodes of the second season. Liu has some shining moments as a director.
I would like to make a personal appeal to you today. If you…
Haven't been watching Elementary.
Have been comparing every episode of Elementary to BBC's Sherlock.
Have only watched the show with vague interest.
Is this you?
Pay attention. Turn on The Man With the Twisted Lip. Void your mind of any reference to Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch. Consider Doyle's original stories and his creation of a character whose love of opiates both gives him a different perspective on the world and drags him into an underworld (both mentally and physically).
But most importantly… And this is worth bolding: Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu are as effective a duo as any in the history of Doyle adaptations and it would be a shame to miss it.
Jonny Lee Miller is underrated. I understand that the Cumberbatch shadow is nearly as large as that of a 40 story sky scraper, but the man is killing it week after week on Elementary and no one is talking about it. Well, I am, I guess. In No Lack of Void, Miller shows us how he is evolving this character into something so much more than a consulting detective.
There's definitely a crime to be solved this week, but the real point of interest for me is the death of Sherlock's friend and dialect coach, Alistair. The character is so promising and one from canon, so I was hoping for a longer run. Plus, the idea of Holmes having a lifelong friend is so charming that it's a real disappointment he's dead and gone before we even had a chance to get to know him. Not only are we missing out on the chance to hear Holmes interpret a wide range of global accents, but we are deprived the privilege of seeing how Holmes would interact with someone teaching him.
So things got in the way of this review and for that, I apologize. You know, nerdy things, Sherlock things. 221B Con was a big success and I am better you'll all love the live podcast from the Con in the weeks to come. Then there were the Shorty Awards, which we didn't win, but were honored to be nominated for. Somewhere in there, Jonny Lee Miller attempted to understand how the same teeth could co-exist in many mouths at once.
When a pair of murders show eery similarities to what police thought was a previously solved case involving bite marks on victims, the entire history gets re-examined. And it also causes Joan to do some re-examining of her own. The man who had previously confessed to the bite mark murders, Aaron Colville, ended up on Joan's operating table while she was still working as a surgeon. In the heated moments after he was stabbed, her residing surgeon let the man die, in Joan's assessment, which causes her to feel slightly haunted by the concept of justice. Had he been innocent after all, he died for no reason. Ah, but Joan needn't worry, because other moral quandaries of even greater confusion are about to wrap around her.
After nearly two seasons and more than forty episodes, for the first time ever, I was thoroughly creeped out by a murder on Elementary this week. Helium death not only sounds creepy, it is remarkably simple to pull off. And while I found myself comparing the hallucinogenic effects described and seen in BBC's Sherlock and its ability to create near-death experiences or the perception of such an event, the simplicity of the chemical murder in this particular adaptation was far more skin-crawling.
We start where most medical mysteries should start: in the lab. When a Doctor and researcher named Barry Granger is found dead from a supposed suicide by helium poisoning, Lestrade and Holmes figure out immediately that he's been murdered.

Pierre Fauchard scholarship
Ellsworth was nominated for the scholarship by faculty members at HSC-Baylor College of Dentistry. The scholarship is designated for a student who demonstrates integrity, imagination and initiative.
The news of his scholarship was a complete surprise to an unsuspecting Ellsworth.
"I was really surprised and, at the time, really overwhelmed by it," Ellsworth says. "I felt humbled that the faculty thought that, of my peers, I represented those qualities."
Although he still has a year remaining in dental school, Ellsworth already is contemplating a residency in periodontics or joining a general practice after graduation.
The Pierre Fauchard Academy is an honorary dental service organization that was established in 1936. The academy awards medals and other honors to persons who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to dentistry and who are recognized as worthy role models for others in the profession. The academy is composed of 7,000 fellows from 65 countries.

Is my WIn7 UEFI, or not? I have conflicting results.
My Windows 7 is installed on an Asus M5A97 UEFI board with latest BIOS from 10/12. Windows 7 was cleanly installed this week (after a disk failure BTW). I could tell, when entering BIOS and selecting to boot from CD, that the DVD was listed as a UEFI boot disc. So, I assumed that the installation would install itself as UEFI.... but is that what really happened?
I followed the instructions for using MSINFO32, looked for the line BIOS MODE... it was not listed at all. Weird. I ran the same MSINFO32 with admin privileges, same results.
What do you think?
BIOS Boot order displays a UEFI Windows Boot Loader. Drive C:\ consists of three system partitions on a GPT disk. However, based on the LACK of information from MSINFO32 I am not sure if Windows 7 is UEFI, or Legacy.
I am looking into this because I want to set up a dual boot with LinuxMint 15. I understand that If Windows is UEFI, then the LInux install MUST be UEFI as well...
Thanks for your input.

I can't remember why the OS should be Disk 0, but I've asked for help with it and for Linux, which I don't use. This in itself shouldn't keep Mint from booting but two of the three partitions you labeled as Mint say they are RAW which should be empty, unallocated space yet you have a drive letter on them.
Your F partition says HOME-WINDOWS7 plus you labeled C as Windows 7 too hinting you have Windows 7 on two partitions.

C is your Windows 7 partition currently booted as signified by Boot flag in the screenshot.
If you're unsure whether F which you've (mis?)labeled Windows 7 contains an old OS I'd browse into it from C to see if it has a Windows and Users folder. If so then I'd move the data off to correctly delete the partition for an unwanted OS, then repartition in Disk Mgmt and move the data back.
If you need to keep the current HD as DISK0 then I would have Logical partitions which cannot accept the System boot files, or risk having the boot files derailed to DISK0 during future Repairs or Reinstalls. This is why it is best to have the OS on Disk0, with it or its boot partition in the first partition.
