Cooking Classes

The cooking classes we offer are not to learn fancy techniques; it is about learning how to put a complete meal together, inspiring, combining flavors, herbs, and learning how to eat healthy. Healthy cooking doesn’t mean that you have to become a gourmet chef or invest in expensive cookware. You can use basic cooking techniques to prepare food in healthy ways. In addition to the cooking classes, you’ll learn “Herbs 101”. Fresh herbs can alter and enhance the flavor of any dish. To chefs, they’re basic ingredients. To novices, they’re intimidating. It can be tough to identify herbs and even more difficult to know how to us them. Using healthy cooking techniques, you can cut fat and calories. Consider, for instance, that each tablespoon (about 14g) of oil you use when frying adds 14 grams of fat and more than 100 calories. To put it in perspective – a healthy adult eating a 1,800 calorie diet should have no more than about 70 grams of fat a day. By switching to roasting, you not only eliminate added oil but also allow any fat in the food to drip away. Just as important as eating healthy is to study your food labels. Food and ingredient decisions are more difficult than ever. In our cooking class you’ll learn how food companies often misrepresent or mislead us into buying products with little or no nutritional value. The food label is where you go for the real information. Use it to compare products and discover what they truly contain so you can make healthier choices. Learning how to have a well-stocked kitchen is all part of the process. When you don’t have the right ingredients in the house, it’s hard to eat well. In our cooking class you’ll learn how to keep a well stocked pantry, fridge, condiments, and freezer. All of this gives you options to pull together a variety of delicious and wholesome meals in a pinch.
Physics of cyclism

When bicycles were first invented, they had a large front wheel with a large radius. This made them extremely efficient and fast to ride on flat spaces, but unfortunately they were quite unstable and therefore very dangerous to the rider. The center of mass was very high and the bike overturned easily.
Champion Tour de France cyclist Lance Armstrong, like many top cyclists, use technology to improve performance. Lance used a specially designed helmet for time trials. This is an event where maximum efficiency and speed is required. The helmet design helped to shave vital seconds of his time. The helmet minimizes friction by allowing air to flow over his head and down his back. An ordinary helmet would cause turbulent wind flow at his neck and create drag. He also wore specialized clothing to decrease drag.
Hitting a Baseball

How hard is to hit a baseball?
Hitting a baseball during a game of America's favorite summer past-time is not an easy mission. Some players are good at it right of the bat, but even those great hitters only get to hit safely three times out of ten and also fail to put the ball in play two times out of that same ten opportunities.
According to Ted Williams, arguably the greatest baseball hitter of all-time hitting a baseball is no easy task. When asked about the difficulty of hitting safely Williams stated that " I think without question the hardest single thing to do in sport is to hit a baseball.”
This comes from one of the most successful hitters not only of his time, but in the history of the game, and he still considers hitting the hardest thing to do in sports. Taking this into account, and the information stated previously, it just generates one simple, basic and obvious question: What makes hitting so difficult? And the answer to this question is simple, the answer is timing.
According to Robert Adair, a Yale physicist who has studied the science of baseball, a batter takes 100 milliseconds for the eye of the batter to see the ball, 25 milliseconds to identify the speed and location of the pitch, 25 milliseconds to decide whether to swing or let the ball go by, another 25 millimeters to decide to swing high or low, inside or outside, 15 millimeters to start and finish the swing, as a result, the batter must hit the ball within an eight of an inch of dead center and at precisely the exact millimeter. In conclusion, it is pretty hard to hit a baseball, but with the correct timing you may find yourself in the MLB.

Add some text,
Knowledge about the physics of running is of particular interest to high-level athletes who strive to optimize their performance, using a combination of expert coaching and state-of-the-art training facilities. To most people, the physics behind running is hardly given a second thought. But when medals, such as Olympic medals, are on the line then such thoughts become commonplace and turn into active areas of research.
When running, you need to have in mind:
Force generated during running.
Path traveled by runner's center of mass.
Arm swinging.
Effect of race curve on running times.
Effect on track material on running times.

Turkeys Have Legs?

Views: 474
I know it sounds like a dumb question but you won't know until you ask. If you never question society (in this case my mother) then you will just accept things as they are. I never gave it second thought that turkeys had legs you see from the time that I could remember my mother always presented a turkey that didn't include legs. I never thought much about it because when we had turkey any other time of the year it would be the wings so legs never really played a major role. So can you imagine my "ahh-ha" moment when I woke up early one Thanksgiving morning to find that my father would steal the legs off of the turkey retreat to his bedroom and eat the legs. For some of you this maybe a cute little story but this was a realization to me. Turkeys actually did have legs and my father literally walked off with them every Thanksgiving.
Don't you agree some of our fondest moments and greatest lessons in life are food centered.

Do colors effect the way we look at foods

Do Colors Effect the Way we Look at Different Foods???
The traditional saying of "we eat with our eyes" means associating of different flavors to certain colors. This is impacted by the accuracy of plate presentation. Although there are many, many more reason and in-depth psychological aspects even to this topic for today, we'll just go over the basics.
How colors and sense affect our foods and how the brain reacts and functions when seeing food and the different triggers we have. This ties in with the different emotions we have as well as shown in the color wheel guide I have here.
As shown here on our emotion wheel guide, we have a wide range of feeling and emotions to color. We use this chart everyday without even realizing it! In reality, there are different way the culinary world manipulates and control the effects of food through different colors.
For a long time people have had a predisposed perception of colors that affect their senses. This is true with many other things besides foods as well. Furniture, clothing and more have been big products of advertisement that can be brand-named to having certain colors like McDonald's and it's golden arches or Target with the bright red Target symbol. They typically are remembered as that product of name but sometime the product may be mistaken or have a different situation.
For example someone might say grab me a Kleenex when really all they need is a tissue but some products have become so branded that people know them as their brand and not necessarily what the product is.
Sometime it can be this way with different foods as well especially fast foods. You may want that certain taco from just Taco Johns or Taco Bells. Pizza, can also be wanted from just pizza Hut or Pizza Ranch to some people as well too.
How we see our food
Large food corporations, factories and companies all add color to there labeling and food products to draw attention typically more in their advertisements then the actual food but it still is a trigger to our minds "Oh lets eat there or lets try that." People grown then developing a certain taste to certain foods depending on the cultures and foods they grew up with.
They way you design and display meals can really effect the way your dish looks and how eye-appealing it may be from your garnishes to plate presentation they can all add a new twist of colors that can make your meal look desirable . In the end hopefully we can all look beyond the colors though and taste what's within.
So continue chewing till next time,

How to Get the Perfect Topline
Any decent showman would know how important the topline is in a dairy show. That’s why it’s crucial that the showman is properly equipped when it comes to forming the crystal fine trims on the back hair of the cow. When it all comes down to it, there are five basic necessities; clear magic, a hair brush, a blow dryer (with nozzle), baby powder, and a freedom clipper. This article will tell a showman all there is to know about these products and which brands are the best routes to go in order to wow the judge with a stunning topline.
Clear Magic
Clear magic is glorified hairspray, but instead of the usual 1-5 level, (flexible, strong, super strong), consider this stuff a 10. Clear magic is the Holy Grail when it comes to keeping a topline looking at its best. Sullivan Supply carries both types of Doc Brannen’s “magic”, clear and black. For the low price of $7.50 a can, who wouldn’t want what’s best for their cow? “Simply spray on and work into hair for 3 to 4 minutes with comb or brush to obtain desired hair position” (Dairy Show Products). Easy peasy! Just like hairspray. Be warned, too much of Clear Magic concentrated into one spot may lead hair loss on the cow.
Hair Brush
A specific hair brush may seem overdramatic and unnecessary, but little do some showmen know the texture that needs to be accomplished when it comes to achieving a topline’s full potential. Little Brook Dairy uses the classic Denman Topline brush. This brush is absolutely perfect for the back brushing motion of creating a topline, and its versatile grip is great for when hands are covered in miscellaneous substances such as baby powder and clear magic. This product is also available at the Sullivan Supply for the price of $8.50, and it even comes in a choice of two varieties, 7 or 9 rows.
Blow Dryer with Nozzle
This item has much more leeway than the hair brush and clear magic, virtually any hair brush that has a nozzle attachment will do the trick. Mills Fleet Farm carries an extraordinary hair dryer from Conair for a relatively low price of $21.00. “Say goodbye to the tangled cord! This hair dryer's cord retracts at the push of a button” (Mills Fleet Farm). What better type of hair dryer than one that can retract its cord with a push of a button?! This is perfect for the crazy and hectic morning of a show when people are running around looking for show numbers and combs. A retractable cord would be one less thing for a showman to worry about on their big day.
Baby Powder
Like the blow dryer, this product has lots of leeway as well. The goal of baby powder is to act as a base for the clear magic and to aid the clear magic into keeping the hair exactly how the showman placed it before they walked into the ring. Sullivan Supply carries a specific brand of baby powder that’s actually called and made for toplines. The Ramer brand comes in four ounces and Sullivan Supply sells it for about $9.75. Not too shabby if the showman wants the cow’s topline to be looking its best. We suggest investing in this brand of powder because in order to have a stunning topline overall, a showman must have a good base to start off with.
Freedom Clipper
Its possible for the showman to miss parts of hair when grooming around the topline and towards the spine, and it happens all too often. But using a regualr clipper is too big and frankly a risk, because the showman might over clip and make the topline appear unnatural and sloppy. That’s why Oster supplies a PowerPro Ultra Cordless Clipper. Unfortunatly, this is a very expensive piece and is quite the investment; however it is cordless and rechargable. The Cheshire Horse.com offers this particular clippers at $239.00.
Conclusion
Overall, for the price of $285.75, any showman can get the beautifully sculpted topline that they deserve. Creating a topline is a piece of aft, and it’s important to have the necessary tools. But remember showman, neglected toplines after the show can and will lead to hair loss, which won’t be beneficial at the next show! Always remember to wash out the product in the topline to restore the hair’s natural texture and softness.

10 Shockingly Profitable and Illegal World Trades

10 Shockingly Profitable and
Illegal World Trades
We’ve all heard of the black market, but we only have a vague understanding of what’s on its shelves. While most aren’t surprised that illegal traders don’t conduct shady deals for a gallon of milk, some of the most profitable world trades may shock you. These ten money-spinning world trades are not what you might expect.
6. Sperm
In recent years, the internet has exploded with sperm buyers and sellers. While this may seem rather harmless, legal sperm donors are evaluated against several requirements designed to minimize the chance of a birth defect or hereditary disease, while the traders on the internet require no medical test. “… The recipients have absolutely no way of knowing what they’re getting. Not to mention the thousands of infectious diseases that can be transmitted through human sperm, which is really the scary part” (Listverse).
7. Python Skins
You’ve seen them on handbags, shoes, even pants, but I’ve doubt you’ve seen snake skins on actual, living snakes. In fact you might never, with the python population dying out so fast (Listverse). The potentially effective laws against illegal poaching and selling of snake skins are instituted in many parts of the world, specifically where the snake skin market is booming, but are almost never enforced (Listverse). It’s simple economics. If the demand for snake skins goes down, the use of illegal and immoral poaching practices would go down as well.
4. Bear Gall Bladders
Despite the fact that it has been scientifically proven that it has no benefits, the gall bladders of black bears –and the bile- have been used as medicine in Asia from generation to generation. “…it has been definitively proven by medical science to have no medicinal properties whatsoever. In spite of that, the illegal trade in this product continues” (Listverse). The bears are poached in masses, and sometimes kept in illegal ‘bear farms-’ a waking nightmare. Bears are kept in small stalls, fed irregularly and not allowed to hibernate; they are continually surgically “milked” for the bile for a period of time before being killed to extract the gall bladder.” Every year, on average, 2 billion dollars are made off these bears’ suffering (Listverse).
5. Abalone
Abalone are edible sea snails, and they are a delicacy in many Asian countries, as well as South Africa. Abalone suffers from the same afflictions as most of the other animals wrapped up in illegal trade. “Abalone is the highest-priced product it [South Africa] produces. In 1995, 615 tons of Abalone were harvested in South Africa; by 2008, it had dropped dramatically to 75 tons… The incredible drop in volume over such a short time is attributed almost entirely to illegal harvesting, and the effect of this on the South African economy has been significant” (Listverse). Abalone populations are declining, but the traders’ wallet sizes are increasing.
9. Timber
The trade in timber hits the world hard in many different ways –habitat loss, monetary loss, effects on climate change, etc. - but there is one other way that may shock you. Illegal traders in timber and drug traffickers -the ‘Odd Couple’ of the black market- have teamed up to increase their efficiency when transferring their illegal cargo. Yes, illegal drugs are now being concealed in the thick trunks of massive trees (Listverse). You can’t say these drug smugglers aren’t original.
8. Human Organs
Human organs are a very profitable commodity in the illegal trade industry. They prey on desperate and destitute people, paying them as little as $5,000 for their kidney, and then the traders sell the organ for thousands more to equally desperate people in need of a life-saving organ donor (Listverse). Some victims don’t know their organs are being taken. “While many people willingly give up organs for cash, many other are scammed or forced into the procedure, or made to undergo unnecessary surgeries during which the organs are extracted without their knowledge” (Listverse). This multi-billion dollar industry, according to Listverse, performs 10,000 surgeries every year.
3. Caviar
A popular dish of the rich and famous, caviar has a big presence in the Black Market. They are actually eggs of the ancient Sturgeon, who shared the world with the dinosaurs, and now their population is declining rapidly. It is illegal to acquire Sturgeon eggs from the wild –legal caviar is produced on a legitimate Sturgeon farm- although, as we have learned, environmental protection laws are extremely lax. “A global ban on wild caviar (as opposed to farmed) in the mid ’00s failed to have the desired effect of protecting the population, and may actually have spurred increased black market activity. In 2006, the Pew Institute for Ocean Science called the sturgeon ‘the most vulnerable wildlife resource in the world’” (Listverse).

10. Primates
Monkeys are carted around the world to fulfill many supposed ‘needs’ of mankind. Their uses range from test subjects for scientific research to becoming a famous pet in another pop singer’s menagerie. Currently, 1,000 of primates are brought to America lawfully, but 3,000 more apes are poached and sold. Poaching is illegal, but primates are traded ‘legally’ under a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy in regards to how they were acquired (Listverse). The illegal primate trade has contributed to the decline of their worldwide population; 30% of primate species are endangered (All the World’s Primates).
2. Alcohol
Alcohol is illegal in some Middle Eastern countries, and, in other nations, it is strictly regulated. In Iraq lashes are part of the punishment if you are caught with alcohol. Many in the illegal liquor trade find that receiving lashes isn’t enough of a threat because this illegal trade is blossoming. “[The Illegal Liquor Trade is] So strong that Iranian factories that produce rubbing alcohol were actually forced by the government to spike it with a substance that renders it almost too bitter to drink—proving that, yes, people all over the world will take amazing risks just to get drunk” (Listverse).
From oddly creative to terribly disgusting, these illegal businesses exist and thrive in our world today. Millions of people are rich from them, and even more people and animals are victims. This is only a glimpse of what’s lined up on the black market’s shelves. It is a dark and seedy world, where only one motto overpowers all else:
greed can exploit anything.

next day arrives and I’m in pain. Doris and the surgeon whose name I don’t even know yet are talking outside my door. Pressing my button for assistance, Doris comes running in. “What” Doris says in a panThe ic. “What are you and the surgeon talking about” I replied. “Me and John are figuring out the next steps for your recovery” Doris says. I am told that those next steps are recovery, recovery, recovery which was hard for me to hear from the surgeon. As jealous as I was watching everyone else passing by in the hallway with both their arms smiling and laughing I was sure that I had to make a plan to get back at the surgeon. It sounds like I have all the time in the world to strategize. Days pass like years I am so bored, and I’m sick of other people having to assist me with stuff I use to be able to do by myself only a couple of days ago. This is by far the most difficult thing mentally and physically I have been through. I don’t wish this type of pain on anyone in the world except one person John.
One week into this journey of being stuck in a hospital bed and my thoughts are getting more and more twisted. Recently I’ve been able to gain control of my legs and have practiced movements with them trying to think of revenge on John. It was hard enough having to see the man who cut off both of my arms multiple times daily and acting like everything was fine. Then all of a sudden John the surgeon stopped showing up for his daily visits and I asked Doris about this. Doris explains to me the situation and I’m not sure if I like it. See what Doris explained to me is that Johns case is being reviewed by the board of directors and they are going to fire him, and we will have the choice to sue him.
Awhile passes and I start thinking maybe this is the right thing. It doesn’t matter that I was jealous of the fact that he still had both of his arms and had a good job. After this whole time of being trapped in a hospital I never noticed all the people that were actually here for me and care for me. This was the first time since I’ve been in the hospital that I’ve been happy and things were only getting better. Since John the surgeon got fired, and I am able to sue them, I had the choice of money or new bionic arms that will make me the first human robot ever. Since money couldn’t buy me those bionic arms and I really wanted arms again I choose to be the first human robot and I figured I could make money touring the world anyways.
I am now 32 years old, and I’m living the life. Funny to think that just a few years ago I almost lost it all. Now I’m a millionaire thanks to my new arms, and I’m still the only person in the world that has them. I walked past John the surgeon the other day on the side of the road with a sign, and even though this guy took my arms away he was also the reason for all my success. I stopped what I was doing and walked over to him, he looked very different when it came to his hygiene you can tell he has had a rough couple of years. Doing the only thing I could think of at the time I gave him a check and said thank you. It’s crazy to think we each had it all lost it, and then got it back again. Revenge isn’t necessary these days. All we need to do is help each other and the world could be filled with a bunch of “bionic arms”.

Help
I have never been in this kind of situation before. I personally always thought this only happened in the movies. The last thing I remembered about that awful night was the headlights getting closer and closer than koas. My eyes blink and the brightest light ever soon follows, I notice I’m waking up from a surgery. With my whole body being numb they ask me questions to see if I’m cohesive. ‘’Hey sir can you tell me your name said the surgeon?’’ “Nolan’’ I replied. After him asking more questions about me like my age, what time of the year it is, and if I knew what happened, I reply fast to all of those I am 29 years old. It is the fall, I think we were in a car crash. Where is my wife, Doris, the doctor tells me she is fine she just went to go get some fresh air. It was encouraging knowing she was unharmed in this horrific car accident. Some would say that Doris and I have a weird relationship since she is ten years older than me. I’ve always looked past that she is carefree and I am just foolish. Doris walks in the room with a sad look on her face and I’m unaware of what’s really going on. The surgeon, whose name I’m not aware of, starts to tell me what happened in surgery. He says it was so hectic rushing me into surgery and my arm was swelling up. They said they had to amputate the left arm. In such a rush, the surgeon grabbed the equipment necessary to remove my left arm, and as fast as he could, to save my life, he sawed off my arm. As he was saying this I looked down at my arm or what was supposed to be my arm. Come to learn that the new surgeon had cut off the wrong arm. He cut off my right arm, but still had to cut off my left arm due to the traumatic swelling. At this point, it felt like life was over I never imagined living life without any arms. Doris is going to have to care for me 24/7 now, I don’t want to put her through that. On the verge of tears and wanting to hit something (which is impossible for me at this moment) we yelling out to the surgeon that we will sue him for this mistake. The surgeon remained calm and professional for the duration of the argument. I defiantly expected some sort of sorry from him, but he couldn’t even tell me that. I could tell it was going to be a rough night ahead of me. Thankfully the hospital has good drugs that will make me sleep like a baby.
