I was reading a comment section on reddit about this, and thought that being able to kill an animal with nothing more than your legs seems pretty efficient. What do you guys think?
Define "efficient".
|dont think so
You probably wouldn't kill your prey with your legs. Unless you are a karate dude. The idea is the prey becomes exhausted then you can kill it with spears, clubs etc
|one size fits most
It was so ineffective and inefficient that man devised weapons, tactics and skills to do a better job. Thus thriving
|Output vs input
I think the question is how many calories are expended hunting vs. how many calories are gained by the prey. Persistence hunting seems like it would have a high calorie cost compared to fishing, lying in wait for game, and other kinds of hunting.
|Duck curser
No, extremely efficient. It allows you to bring down large prey that you wouldn't normally be able to kill very often. That's a lotta food which makes up for the effort involved.
People usually overestimate the energy expended during exercise vs basal metabolism. It may take 1000 calories to follow an animal all day, but it takes 2000 to sit around doing nothing. If you can run the animal into the ground, you might as well spend 3000 calories and get a month's supply of food, instead of 2000 calories and get nothing.
|hell yesss
From wikipedia, hunts are generally 2 to 5 hours, ranging across 16 to 22 miles. For that effort you'll kill a 400-lb antelope.
Pretty sweet trade-off.
What percentage of letsrun.com could be effectively replaced with Wikipedia?
It's only inefficient of you are a modern WalMartite.
Really? You can easily find a way to kill a large animal once you have it collapsed. Find a sharp rock. Or just carry a knife.
I don't think this is the most efficient way to live, but it doesn't seem like it would be the worst. More time consuming than anything else.
The "Myth" of Persistence Hunting
The thing about long distance running is that it can turn into a religion. Just as vegans try to prove that humans aren't designed to eat meat, long distance fanatics try to prove that humans are Born to Run.
It appears the default mode for our species is the physique of a decathlete. Lean, muscled, and prepared for almost anything nature can unleash. We know this to be true based on the observations of modern HGs and the anthropological evidence: Thick, strong bones and muscle insertions typical of a hard-working athlete. The bones are evidence of relatively large, strong muscles [...]Robb Wolf
|Bad Wigins
who thinks persistence hunting is about running.
Persistence hunters usually walk, or jog at most. It takes advantage not of speed or endurance, but the ability to sweat which the prey lacks. During the heat of the day, the prey overheats even at a slow pace and collapses within a few hours.
It is one of the great advantages of the hairless ape over the hairy ape.
I'm a long distance fanatic and the Born to Run fanboys annoy the hell out of me. It's always overweight people who have been running for about 6 months.
Are you going to put that month's supply of food in your refrigerator? How do you plan on getting that big meal back to your cave for the rest of your clan?
Reading these responses is hilarious.
At least one Harvard professor belives in it - Dan Lieberman. I saw his free lecture in 2005 with some of my XC/Track athletes. Gotta say it seemed kind of crazy, but hey, got some kids interested in distance running. And also reminded me to rent The Gods Must Be Crazy.
|Smarter Than You Is Easy
Ummm...ever heard of drying out meat to preserve it?
And as far as getting the food back your cave, hate to break it to you but
1) This type of hunting is usually done with a small team
2) Animals tend to run in circles, they don't want to leave familiar territory. If you chase them for ten miles you probably end up within a mile of where you started.
So, you make the kill, one stands guard while another heads home for help with butchering and carrying.
|What the heck
What the hell does that even mean, the "default mode for our species"?
|Ho Hum
You get that meal back to your home by carrying it, which is easy when you've got a few guys to carry the carcass. Then you cook most of themeat and preserve the rest (jerky etc.). Not sure what you find so hilarious.
Read anything from Lieberman's studies and it becomes abundantly clear that he's never considered the possibility that he may be wrong.
Long ago people learned to gorge on meat and preserve the rest as biltong or jerky/pemmican.
Steatopygia is also pretty common amongst the most primitive peoples.

Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM £7499
5th Oct 2011 | 10:08
What price for perfection in a super-fast telephoto camera lens?
Overview and features
The Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM is one of the latest telephoto and super-telephoto lenses to hit the market, or perhaps we should say to clobber it, given the size and weight of the 300mm and its even bigger 400mm brother.
A fully professional telephoto lens, aimed predominantly at sports and wildlife photographers, the Mark II edition of the EF 300 f/2.8L is certainly no lightweight, at 2.4kg. That's despite an all-new magnesium alloy body with titanium components that shave 8% off the weight of its predecessor.
It measures 128mm in diameter and is 248mm long, extending to 374mm with the lens hood fitted.
As one of Canon's top-notch professional lenses, the EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM has just about every feature you could wish for. Ring-type USM autofocus is of the highest standard, and comes complete with Power Focus mode and a Focus Preset facility.
Select Power Focus from the three-position AF/PF/MF switch and a separate focus ring, called the Playback ring, enables dual speed motorised focus adjustments – ideal for video shooting.
The Focus Preset button enables you to store a focus position in memory, then return to it at any time by pressing the button again. As well as on/off positions, there's an additional 'on' setting that gives you a confirmation beep.
A three-position focus limit switch enables you to select the full focus range or limit it to 2-6m, or 6m to infinity.
There are also four AF Stop buttons around the lens' circumference, forward of the focus and Playback rings, which are useful for locking focus in AI Servo mode.
The Image Stabiliser (IS) is updated in the Mark II lens to give a 4-stop benefit, compared with its predecessor's 2-stop stabiliser.
It also comes with three separate modes. Mode 1 is for regular shooting, Mode 2 is for panning in either landscape or portrait orientation shooting, and Mode 3 only applies stabilisation during actual exposures, which works well when you're trying to track erratically moving objects.
Other features include a drop-in 52mm filter holder at the rear of the lens, strap mounts, a carrying strap and a rotating tripod mount. The tripod mount's locking knob also includes a Kensington lock facility for securing the lens, like those often fitted to laptop computers.
Build quality and handling
Build quality of the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM is everything you'd expect at the price, befitting a professional super-telephoto lens designed for the rugged outdoors.
Environmental seals guard against the ingress of dust and moisture, complete with a rubber O-ring in the mounting plate where the lens fixes to the camera.
The use of expensive fluorite lens elements aims to maximise image quality, while the front and rear elements have fluorine coatings on their outer surfaces to enable easier cleaning.
Canon's SWC (SubWavelength Coating) is also used to reduce ghosting and flare.
Not-so-little extras include a whopping lens hood, a soft fabric wraparound lens cap and a custom-made 300B hard case, which is similarly well made and nicely padded.
Switches and control rings all have a high-precision feel to them and handling is excellent, despite the size and weight of the lens.
The Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens performs stunningly in every respect. The ring-type USM autofocus is blazingly fast and accurate, while the 4-stop image stabiliser makes for consistently sharp handheld shots.
Even so, the 2.4kg weight of the lens can make prolonged unsupported photography a bit of a strain.
Image quality is spectacular with pin-sharp results from corner to corner. Contrast is great, even when shooting at the widest aperture of f/2.8 in dull lighting conditions.
Distortion, vignetting and chromatic aberrations are all negligible, while the 300mm super-telephoto lens is also remarkably resistant to ghosting and flare.
On a full-frame DSLR camera such as the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III or Canon EOS 5D Mark II, the fast maximum aperture not only enables you to freeze the action even under gloomy lighting, it also enables a really tight depth of field.
Indeed, shoot at a focus distance of 10m at f/2.8 and the depth of field is just 18.3cm. At the closest focus distance of 2m, depth of field shrinks to just 6.4mm.
Mount the lens on an APS-C-sized body such as the Canon EOS 7D, and the effective focal length extends to 480mm, while the depth of field at 10m and 2m drops to just 11.6cm and 4.1mm respectively.
Sharpness and fringing test
As part of our test of the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 IS II USM we've shot our SFR Plus chart at every aperture to check for sharpness and fringing across the frame. The resulting images are then fed through the Imatest Master software.
The graph below shows the results of the test, with each of the coloured lines depicting the lenses performance at the centre (in blue), and an average of the results for the middle of the frame (pink) and the image edge (yellow).
The graph shows that the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM performs well across the aperture range, with the best results for sharpness achieved between f/4 and f/7.1.
As usual the lens performs best at the centre, but at most apertures the edge performance is not far behind.
This graph shows that signs of fringing are low across the aperture range. Despite the expected rise at the edge of the frame the amount of fringing is still very low.
Sample images
Taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, f/2.8, 1/1000 second
Taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, f/8, 1/125 second
Taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, f/8, 1/200 second
Taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, f/5.6, 1/250 second
Taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, f/5.6, 1/160 second (1.6x crop factor)
Taken at f/2.8 with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Taken at f/4 with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Taken at f/5.6 with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Taken at f/8 with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Taken at f/11 with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Taken at f/8 with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Taken at f/8 with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Splash out the current selling price of around £5,590 on a DSLR lens and you expect fully professional quality. Even so, the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM is something rather special.
The wide-ranging features all work brilliantly, and build quality is excellent in every way.
Ultimately, however, image quality is the most important factor and it's here that the lens really excels.
We liked
Stunning image quality and top performance in every area, from super-fast autofocus to extremely efficient image stabilisation.
We disliked
It's a little heavy for handheld use over long periods of time.
The Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM super-telephoto lens amply demonstrates what Canon's current range of DSLR cameras are really capable of.

D.B. Sweeney Trashes Robert Pattinson, Battles with Twihards in Random Twitter Rantby Hilton Hater at . Comments
D.B. Sweeney might have a (Twi)hard time making money at the box office going forward.
The actor got into it over Twitter with a number of young movie fans this week after he inserted himself into the ongoing Robert Pattinson/Kristen Stewart saga. Wrote Sweeney:
"Just saw Pattinson on #DailyShow trying to figure out what took k-stew so long to look around with this douche astride her. #holytwit."
As you might expect, Pattinson's followers quickly came to the star's defense.
"Don't talk sh--t about the greatness which is Rob when your credentials can't even match his," replied one, while another was even more direct in addressing Sweeney: "I hate you. Do not mess with Rob."
But Sweeney - who actually stars in K-11, which was directed by Stewart's mother, Jules - didn't back down. He Tweeted twice more:
"Hey #twilight genuises--try decaf! A little too worked up over a skinny vampire.... Nice language twi-hards. Or should i say tards? Love the inchoate indignation."
And we love your decision to pick on a fan base half your age, D.B., along with an actor whose heart was just broken.
Db who? Tweeny? Who is this guy pshht u r void and rob is value end of story... Dnt b mad coz u wrinkly... old fool zip those thin dry lips:L
OK, I guess DB figured putting down RP would make him feel like BIg Man since he is friends with KStew mom and co starred with KStew in SPEAK but it's not cool to disparage against others (Do unto others as you would have them do unto you)
Rob is being an ass to Kristin and was riding high on the scandal publicity.. Yes Kristin was wrong ut she had been punished enough!! He should at least let her know if he had moved on with or without her instead of leave her hanging as now.... He is being a coward for not facing the her nor making his decision on their relatinship.... Parental n friends pressures on Rob for to break it off with Kristin is just disgusting.... He is obviously to his own man yet... Kristin cast off he scalet letter... It's time for forgiveness and move on... Rob is not worth throwing your career nor your life away for ..... Hold our head up high as you had been honest, punished for it and most important took responsibility for it!!!!
I agree with DB. I think Pattinson is devoid of a personality. I thought he sucked on the Daily show. He seems like a nice guy just beige very beige
Erin the two movies you listed were actually in theaters. They are both old hence why they are on TV now. He's been in a lot of films and TV. Do your research before spouting off.
erin, aren't you doing the same thing in your post the very same thing your accusing him of?
DB is a NOBODY! Half of his movies are made for tv movies. In fact, one of his movies, The Cutting Edge, is on Lifetime right now! Speak was on Lifetime too. Not exactly winning Oscars here, so who the F is this guy to trash talk anyone???
It has nothing to do with age. I'm 38 and I've never heard of this tool either! It's kind of sad this guy has been doing movies for 20 and NONE are worthwhile!
The thing that bothers me is that he comes out attacking Rob for NO reason. Let's not forget that Rob was a victim in this cheating scandal. I saw his interview with Jon Stewart and he never he mentioned K Stew. He has been nothing but respectful towards her, even though that cheatings little trampire DOESN'T deserve it.
@Muad'dib, Rob has almost 5 movies lined up & with great directors too. DB Sweeney might be a good actor & a friend to Stewart, but that doesn't mean that he should trash Rob by calling him a douche. It's ironic, he would use such a phrase like "Douche astride her" coz it paints a bad picture about Kristen too. It looks like he's supporting that Kristen can cheat with a married director with 2 children. The rob fans' reaction may be over the top, but do you condone that it's ok for a 22 yr old to cheat with a married person???

Today was a beautiful day. I let kiddos out of their cars this morning and I didn't want to go back into school. I'm so tempted to get out all my spring clothes, but on the weather channel, the 10 day forecast has snow in it. Oh well. I am so excited to reveal the new bod in my spring clothes. Right now almost everything is big on me, but I'm waiting for spring to replenish the wardrobe. Yippee!
Tonight I came home from school and musical rehearsal and was starving. I ate turkey, waffles, maple syrup, and three cookies. Ugh. I still managed to enter it all in, and I really didn't go over my calorie count too much. Then I took a nap. Then my fiance came home from work to see my lying on the couch. He suggested that I go to the gym, which was the last place I wanted to go tonight. But I went anyway. And it was WONDERFUL! I felt so good when I came home. I took it easy, just some fast walking, but it was still great.
Tomorrow night is weigh-in night... had to get some extra calories burned before then. It's late.... off to bed. Keep your fingers crossed for weigh-in night!
I have my new (smaller!) gym pants on and I'm ready to go. Tonight is lower body and abs night.
Today the gym teacher at my school asked what I'm doing to lose so much weight. I told her how much I've been working out and that I've been really keeping track of my calories taken in. We agreed that staying active is really the key to losing weight and keeping it off. I want to be a positive role model for my students... I think it's important for young children to see the importance of activity and eating right.
off I go!
This morning I had an early morning performance, so I decided to stop at Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast. I got a gift card as a Christmas present from one of my students, so I figured today would be as good a day as any to use it. I got one of those flatbread sandwiches (the turkey sausage one). It was alright, not my favorite. But good for on the run. I actually could taste the sausage, which was good. I have to say, I enjoy eating my breakfast at home much more than on the road. The coffee I brew at home tastes better, too.
I didn't do a whole lot today, I was actually kind of lazy. Went to the local outlets to try on some clothes and see where I am, size-wise. I guess I'm right where I should be, realistically. However, in my mind I should be further along. It was still nice to see that I am making progress, though. Bought a new pair of gym pants - size M!!! I was so excited. Can't wait to wear them this week. I think by March, I should be right on target to hit my goal I set for then.
Off to another busy week... I am really making the gym a priority for me - same as doing my schoolwork or practicing the piano.
Have a happy week!
This week has been so full! Last night I came home from school and crashed on the couch. I went to bed at 9:30!
I have two performances this weekend with the high school show choir. It's a busy time of year for music teachers... musicals, performances, rehearsals... but it makes the time go fast.
My taxes are done. yay! I think I'll take some of the refund and buy some new Spring clothes.
Off to get some cleaning done.
NEW: Well I did my cleaning, and I also made it to the gym. I entered my calories burned and taken in; SparkPeople suggests that I change my workout setting since I often burn more than my calculated amount. But I love seeing that I burned so many more calories than I was scheduled to. Is that horrible? I guess it's a little guilty pleasure.
It's a beautiful Spring-like day, and my mood has improved 100% over yesterday. It's amazing what a little warmth and sunshine can do!
Last fall, I bought a super cute pair of boots. They were "extended-calf" (THANK YOU J. Crew!) so I thought everything was great. I have a pair in brown that fit great. But these new boots were supposed to zip up. I tried them on, and the zipper wouldn't go over my calf. Damn these calves. But I didn't return the boots, they were too cute! So there they sat... every once in a while I'd get them out and try them on to see if there was any chance they stretched in the closet. One day I put them on with my pajamas, spent 20 minutes stretching them over my calves, and walked around in them to see if they'd stretch.
I wore them about 2 weeks ago, and they were still a little tight. Last night I had it in my head that I was going to wear these boots today. I've been running, working out, eating right... and today, the boots zipped up without a problem!
I am starting to get my motivation back. It was gone for a couple days... But I could get used to this - clothes fitting like they are supposed to.
Happy Friday! Have a fun weekend!

reviews & comments (66)
Definetly roast the squash first and don't add it until the last 10 minutes. I used a can of chicken broth (shy of the 2 cups asked for and made up the difference by adding more wine). I also used bacon not pancetta so I did not need to add olive oil until the onions and then only a little.
Love this recipe! It works equally well with beef. I like a little more kick so I add smoked paprika or chipolte. I also hold off and add the squash a little late so it doesn't break down as much
Made this as written except I forgot the fennel frons, and I cut down on salt by one tsp. and cooked it a little longer before adding raw squash based on other reviews. Served it over egg noodles. Everyone enjoyed it, but it did take more effort than I expected by the time I had to cut the pork and then brown in batches. I made it Sunday and then reheated for dinner on Monday for a dinner party. A nice break from the more traditional beef stews
Love this recipe! I've made the recipe a number of times now as written. Nothing better on a cold winter day! One of my go to recipes.
I have made this more than once, and followed the recipe as written, other than cooking the pork a little longer before adding the squash and fennel. It is delicious!! Mine comes out with a much richer color than the photo on the recipe. Try it, you'll love it!
the flavor of the sauce was amazing - i made it with bacon instead of pancetta. i served it with mash but yeah noodles would be better to mop up all the sauce. definitely worth repeating.
This is really good. I cut the recipe in half and made three minor adjustments. First, I couldn't find squash so used sweet potato. Second, I accidentally added paprika when I meant to put in cayenne. I also added the cayenne. Third, I cooked it on the stove top instead of in the oven. I served it over buttered noodles. It's so nice and warming. The flavors are awesome.
So tasty! I made the recipe as directed except I only used a few slices of pancetta. The most difficult part is trimming the pork from the bone... but there's something very satifying about chopping huge hunks of meat into cubes. :-) The first time I made the stew I roasted the squash separately and added in at the end and the second time I just added the raw squash in at the end. I prefer roasting the squash separately. May be a little salty for people who are very salt sensitive, but I thought it was perfect. I served with Kale and no additional starch/carb... think it's heart enough to eat alone. Delicious
I've tried two recipes from epicurious with pork and fennel. Of the two, this one was far better. Didn't have pancetta so I used regular bacon; couldn't find the cayenne so I used ground chipotle pepper. Result was fabulous. Will be making this one again.
This is a super easy and the ingredients are cheap. This is the perfect recipie to make on a busy day. I used Bratwerst and simmered it with beer, added granny smith apples and cherries-then I transfered it to the center of the squash. I did not use nutmeg or sage-instead, I used Herbs de Provence.

Health impact of electronics increasingly common
By Katie Demeria
Digital devices, like tablets and smart phones, are becoming staples in many lives, but some doctors are warning that the health problems associated with these gadgets may also become increasingly more common.
Dr. Phebe Burgess of Valley Health's Rehabilitation Services is an occupational therapist. She works with adults who have vision issues, and she recognizes the havoc that screens can wreak on the eyes.
"These days, everyone is on a digital device," Burgess said. "It could be their phones or using computers for work, and they're beginning to have issues."
The problem, she continued, comes from repetition. Looking at the same thing constantly over an extended period of time strains the eyes.
She follows the advice of the Vision Council, a nonprofit organization that serves the country's optical industry, encouraging her patients to practice the 20-20-20 tip.
"Work for 20 minutes on a digital device, then take a 20 second break and look 20 feet away," Burgess said. "It's very clever, because it's an easy thing to remember, and it can make a big difference.
According to the Vision Council, spending just two hours on a screen can cause eye strain and fatigue.
Staring at a device from an intermediate distance, Burgess said, hurts the eye. It focuses in when looking at something, she added, and doing this for too long can cause a great deal of strain.
"You have to think about the demands on a visual system," she said. "I think we're just at the beginning of people starting to have major issues. Why are we going to wait until everyone is having problems?"
Burgess deals with older patients who do not spend a lot of time staring at screens, so she does not see an overwhelming amount of individuals who are dealing with eye strain.
"My question is: are we going to see more of it, though?" she said. "Our health is all about balance, eating the right diet, getting enough sleep -- you can't abuse your eyes by spending eight hours on a digital device without taking care of them."
Kids, she pointed out, are using electronics at a steadily increasing rate, so they must be taught the best ways to treat their eyes as early as possible.
"We're only going to be using these things more and more, so instead of letting them control us, we need to manage it," she said.
According to Dr. Alethea Allen of Front Royal Pediatrics, children are exposed to much more screen time than is healthy for them.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, she said, recommends that children under the age of 2 have no exposure to screen time, including television.
"We know that children learn best by interacting with the world around them," Allen said. "They need to learn how to manipulate objects and basically figure out how things fit in the world.
"And they don't learn as well as they need to learn by just watching things on a screen."
Though children may seem like they are active and engaged when interacting with a digital screen, Allen said they are actually only engaging a small part of their brain.
"They're not growing the parts of their brain that they need to grow to have a good understanding of the way the world works," she said.
Actions that seem uncomplicated are likely the ones that will encourage the right kind of brain development, according to Allen. She said playing with blocks is more beneficial than watching an educational television show.
"I think that children who are given limited exposure to screen time are much more likely to be self-sufficient and independent in their play and when entertaining themselves," Allen said.
Getting children away from the digital gadgets, Allen added, is also a good way to start fighting childhood obesity, which can lead to a variety of other health issues.
Even if children are not outside, she said, being indoors with the television off will require more effort for play, thus burning more calories.
"Kids are coming in at earlier ages with their own tablets and iPods, and other video things," she said. "It's more prevalent than it used to be, and the associated issues need to be addressed."

Lorraine Landfried, deputy CIO for product development at the Department of Veterans Affairs, has submitted her resignation, FCW has learned.
Landfried plans to leave the agency July 19 and is launching her own business with the working title of Landfried Government Solutions. While Landfried can't officially hang out a shingle while she still works for the government, she told FCW she plans to do strategic consulting, executive coaching and advisory services that will draw on her decades-long career in government.
"I'm very excited. I've been a civil servant since I was 21, so I'm definitely ready to try something new," Landfried said.
Landried joined the VA in 2009. Previously, she had worked at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office for Information and Technology as executive director of enterprise data management and engineering. She started her government career as a computer programmer at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Landfried won a Federal 100 award in 2013, when she was cited for improving the VA's "on time" program delivery rate to 89 percent, a dramatic improvement over previous performance by the VA's Office of Information Technology. She also helped put development at VA on an agile footing, and is involved in government-wide efforts to spread the agile development method across agencies.
Her departure comes amid major changes at the top level of VA. Former Procter & Gamble CEO Bob McDonald was tapped by President Barack Obama to lead the agency after Secretary Eric Shinseki resigned over persistent problems and workarounds in scheduling medical appointments. The VA's OIT, meanwhile, is in the midst of a procurement of a new commercial scheduling system to interface with the agency's home-grown electronic health record, VistA.
Landfried said she is confident that the VA will be able to tap its agile expertise to fix the scheduling problems, and give managers more oversight and visibility into the system. There are interim fixes in the works that will improve how end users see available appointments, Landfried said, and those short improvements will help pave the way for eventually integrating a commercial system into VistA.
"There's no reason to think it won't be successful, because every time we've used that [agile] approach, it has been successful," she told FCW.

The ongoing IG investigation into mismanagement of major IT programs may be the biggest factor in her departure, following Roger Baker who was also forced out following misrepresentations to congress on how iEHR funds were being spent. I am surprised that she would announce a business venture like this while still in office, given the significant OCI violations this could create. Clearly, VA has no successes she can claim to be associated with, and cannot reach back to VA staff to guide contracts as this would imply.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) – Some people may be shying away from red meat because of a filler known as "Pink Slime."
"Pink Slime is trimmings that are put into ground beef and often treated with ammonium," Wegmans Spokesperson Theresa Jackson said.
Once only used in dog food and cooking oil, Pink Slime is now in 70 percent of meat sold across the country. including in Western New York. Walmart and Sam's club both admit to using this filler but said they have alternate options for their customers.
Some stores such as Tops Markets said they don't use "Pink Slime" in any of their meat.
Wegmans also denies using the substance.
Wegmans Spokesperson Theresa Jackson said they use what are called trimmings. Their organic beef is all-natural.
"It is something that Wegmans does not use. Our organic beef and Feel Good Beef contain no trimmings. Our regular beef contains trimmings, but it is not treated with Ammonia.
How is this product made?
The waste trimmings are collected and simmered at low heat to make it easier to separate the fat from muscle. It's then put into a centrifuge and spun to finish the separation. Next, the mixture is sprayed with ammonia to kill bacteria. Finally it is compressed into bricks and flash frozen to ship out.
When people were shown this so-called meat product, no one had a clue what it was. Some said thought it was strawberry ice cream.
Although the substance is not appealing, Jackson said there is no cause for alarm.
"What we know about "Pink Slime" is that it is a safe substance. It's scientifically tested and safe to be in the food supply," Jackson said.

I agree with camping the king. Ive done this mission about a dozen times. The first few times it was kinda tough with PuGs camping the doors and whatnot. Then when I brought my monk through I went with a PuG where I was the only healer and we only had 1 warrior. We decided to camp the king, since it would be tough to camp the two doors with that group, and we made it through the mission on the first attempt with no deaths.
Since then Ive always just camped the king. Ran it last night with 2 other guildies and 5 henchmen and it was a breeze.

With regard to the bonus (although it isn't the focus of this guide): lighting the beacons within the time limit (ie. before the "The end is here!" message) adds two groups of 2x Jade Armour and 1 Jade Bow to the first wave. Since you can mostly defeat the first wave with the ballistae (except the Jades, if present, and the east groups avoid the ballistae a little bit better), the bonus is not actually that hard!
Your group must, of course, be competent enough to do the mission in the first place, which is why some might find it easier to do with henchmen rather than finding a real group to clear the bonus with.
One word of warning: If you light one of the beacons within the time, but not the other, you'll get the extra group of Jades without the reward of completing the bonus. Either go for the bonus or don't; do not try to take a middle ground. :)

Edit to my previous post:
Last night I ran the mission solo with all henchies and completed it first try. I was using a Me/N with Spiteful Spirit, Arcane Echo, Mark of Pain, Chaos Storm, Shatter Hex, Res Sig, & 2 capture sigs (in other words, it doesn't take much to complete this mission). I just camped the king as many people have noted is the easiest way to do this mission.
It's really not a difficult mission and I think any class can do it with henchies. The problem PuGs have is you end up getting people that won't or can't work together in your group and then all hell breaks loose.

Stop me if you've heard this before (but I'm gonna rant it anyway). It annoys me to no end how I seemingly get passed over just because I'm a ranger. I've been running around SF and GF for a while now (with 4 henches cuz nobody wants me) and I clear them out just fine on my own. But drops are getting pretty bad so I decided to just proceed to ember light camp. So I'm in Thunderhead and I advertize "ranger lfg, uses chaos storm + barrage". I see a monk team leader advertize "group looking for 2 more who can listen to orders, preferably nuker and monk". I request to join his team. He just ignors me. Go figure. Same story with 3 other teams I tried to join. Come on. I mean you're looking for nukes, I chain chaos storm and barrage together. You don't get much more nuking than that and I can fire them off wayyyy faster than an ele and my barrage isn't confined to just 1 spot where the enemy might move. Plus I have the added bonus of distracting shot and cry of frustration to stop those pesky stompers that this level happens to be full of. I swear the ignorance of some people with the abilities of classes other than "tank, monk, or ele" just dumbfounds me to no end.
So I say screw this and I take henchies into the mission. After running around in SF and GF, this mission was a total breeze. The stone summit here dropped like flies in comparison. And the white mantle...pppppttth pushovers. The only time my heart actually skipped a beat was when the Perfect Armour showed up near the end with a bunch of other minions and 2 of my henchies actually died (mehnlo and cynn, no surprise there). But other than that, mission was just too easy. So I say screw that newbie monk that wouldn't take me. In fact, I think I'll do the rest of the game with henches since they're far more reliable than the quitters I keep ending up with. Man this game makes me wanna sign up for anger management

Tried camping the king last night and things went poorly.
Now I've only ever done this once before, and we did it the other way, and I was tanking, so I didn't get to see too much of what went on away from my doorway.
We tried using the catapults at the start, but not ONE of the enemies ever stood in their range. Then, next thing we knew, we had about 12 giants/herders and a warrior boss attacking us simultaneously, and I don't need to tell you that all the non-warriors spent that fight more or less entirely grounded, and we died.
When people say "camp the king" where do they mean for the group to stand? Which henchies/group functions should we prioritize? How do you deal with getting attacked from three stairs simultaneously?

Last night, I beat Thunderhead with henchmen on my level 16 Ranger :D. No trapping skills or anything, just straight 1 on 1 arrow type damage. I didn't expect to beat it, I just wanted to see how far I could go, and surprisingly, I did it :).

Well okay. Maybe I was a bit hasty when I stated that this mission was really easy. There is ONE condition I have run into that seems to make this mission next to impossible with henchies. Last night I tried to get my warrior to perdition rock. This should be a walk in the park I mean I have a nice shield, all my stuff is infused, I even have the razorstone so I should be invincible right? Well I'm camped at the king and waiting for these sucka mursatt and mantle to show up when who decides to come in fist? 7 giants and the wooly mamoth monk boss Bolis Hillshaker. JEEZE. Well actually that one was pretty easy. Thankfully the monk boss didn't cast Mark of Protection or that fight woulda gone on forever. And considering how a steady stream of enemies come in, speed kills is essential to winning. So that went alright. few more mantle and jade bows come in 2 at a time fine. So where's perfected armour so I can cap a tank skill? OMFG here comes the mursaat boss monk Durmatrois the Enduring. Just looking at the name.... Enduring.... I knew it was over. And it was. We tried to concentrate on one guy and the stupid monk boss just keep healing and healing while the damage to my party just kept increasing til it was just me left. Sigh. Of all the rotten luck.... 2 monk bosses in the last fight. WTF somebody at anet was having fun at my expense I swear

I've read this thread with interest. I updated with the Safari Enhancer at VersionTracker and now have the debug menu. By switching the user agent to Mac MSIE 5.22 I can now post my golf scores online at ghin.org using Safari! Geez, I'm so happy to have solved such a pressing problem. ;-)
Possible Safari fix for misbehaving websites
Just try and remimber to switch it back. (do you need to or does it go back by default?). Oh yeah, and send them an email. ;) I think we've pounded the point home, eh?

as mentioned before this works on a tab by tab, session by session basis. Once you quit, close or go to a new tab your agent is automatically chosen (default). Unless you've previously set the tab you've gone to to use another user agent.

McStay Family Murder Update: McStay Family Put To Rest With Memorial Service
A memorial was held for the McStay family on Saturday that culminated in a paddle-out off the coast near San Clemente, Calif., pier, where the family had lived shortly before their deaths.
McStay Family Memorial
The memorial service was held for all four members of the McStay family, Joseph, 40, his wife Summer, 43, and their two children, Gianni, 4, and Joey Jr., 3. The entire family disappeared mysteriously in 2010, and it was believed that they had fled to Mexico until their remains were discovered in the Mojave Dessert on Nov. 13, 2013.
Michael McStay, Joseph's brother, along with three other loved ones, wore white lays as they paddled out onto the water after the service to honor each member of the deceased McStay family. They were accompanied by about 10 other surfers, and other mourners looked on from the pier.
"It's definitely important for the family. This is something that they loved to do, so we feel that this would be important," Ken Aranda, Summer's brother, said about the ceremony.
Two hundred people reportedly attended the memorial service at Vineyard Community Church, and Joseph's mother, Susan Blake, described the service as full of love. Michael echoed Blake's statement, saying after the service, "My spirits are lifted. I feel encouraged remembering all the goodness in their lives. It allows me to turn a page."
Investigation Into McStay Family Murders Is Ongoing
Though the four missing members of the McStay family have been put to rest, the case of the McStay deaths remains open, and Blake says she is still hoping for answers.
"I need answers now… I waited almost four years with hope to find them…That chapter of hope is closed and I need to start a new chapter of justice," Blake said after the service.
In November, following the discovery of the family's remains, Patrick McStay, Joseph's father, told CBS News that he had suggested three suspects to the police, citing one in particular. Patrick theorized that someone could have paid a hit man to kill Joseph and Summer, and was forced to also kill their children, saying, "Somebody hired somebody. To kill a child is something totally different. You have to be a cold blooded killer… Only two things could have happened. Either there was a hired killer who killed them or the children could have recognized them – this person."
The four deaths are currently under investigation by the San Bernadino Sheriff's Department.

If you watched RAW 1000 this past Monday, then you might agree it was pretty safe to assume CM Punk has turned heel.
In no doubt one of the best main events in recent years, Punk not only took advantage of a wounded John Cena, but also hit The Rock with a big GTS to end the show.
But with all this now seemingly old news, it's difficult to understand why WWE chose to turn Punk now.
Having held the WWE title almost nine months, Punk has beaten the likes of Alberto del Rio, Chris Jericho and Daniel Bryan.
It is with this that it seems almost offensive to think that Punk could not successfully, and competitively, carry the title into next year as a face.
During the last year, CM Punk has become the most recognised face in WWE, acquiring a fan base almost as strong as Cena and The Rock.
And it is with this fan base by his side that he has grown as a character and as a wrestler, literally establishing himself as 'the best in the world'.
This is why a heel turn was unnecessary for Punk.
It has been a very long time since the WWE Universe has witnessed the WWE Champion turn heel mid-reign.
With this said, it is clear the WWE has great faith in CM Punk to continue to carry the title, but exactly how will he do this?
Several ideas have surrounded Punk in the last twenty-four hours regarding his future as a heel.
Will he side with Paul Heyman?
Will he keep the title until the Royal Rumble?
No one knows the answer to this except WWE obviously, yet it is with such suggestions that people seem to have forgotten exactly how good Punk really is.
Put blatantly, CM Punk does not need anyone to help him retain his title or to help him cleanly beat an opponent.
Not only that, but one only has to look no further than last year to realise the Straight Edge Superstar does not have any trouble getting heat from a crowd either.
Nonetheless, the prospect of Punk and Lesnar teaming, or even Punk and Bryan teaming, is undoubtedly a very exciting possibility.
A possibility which will push Punk to even further heights in his career.
Whether Punk does choose to align himself with a manager or faction time will only tell.
However one thing is definitely for certain, Punk will continue to assure the WWE Universe of great television for at least the next six months.
Brandon Vineyard
As hard as he's working, I wouldn't doubt it if he burns out in a couple years. To keep his prestige safe, if he loses the title soon, he should be "injured" in the match and have to forfeit it and he can take time off to cool down and maybe even get repackaged if need be. Have him get injured at Su...

I like the idea of giving him some time off even though he probably doesn't want it. I think WWE does have faith in Punk carrying the title but only as a heel. I don't think they have ever enjoyed or had faith in Punk as a face champion and I think that's evident by his one PPV main event as champio...
Pumbaa Zekunt
lol Punk as a face was fucking boring... Let him be a heel and say what he thinks more... Sure he'd be best used as a tweener but we haven't seen one of them in ages...
Edg3 Belmont
Slap in who's face? boo hoo
Dee Thomas
To be honest it's not much of a difference from last year. Last year Punk was responsible for making wrestling entertaining to watch and I think he's being asked to do the same again, but what better person to ask than Punk
Dee Thomas
he was awesome. but the group as a whole was terrible
Mark Benavides
Honestly, I think he can pull people in as either face or heel. When he was heel, people loved it. When he was face, people loved him anymore. He really can't go wrong. MITB last year was the perfect example (though, he was the hometown hero and couldn't really lose with that momentum.)
Either way, ...
Either way, ...
Yulia Simovic
I guess his turn just indicates that he indeed will carry his title into the RR, as a move by wwe to keep him interesting over a long period of time.
I really appreciate it, as I strongly feel wwe needs a "big bad", not in size but in danger and talent. Big Show was doing okay so far (but not great)...
I really appreciate it, as I strongly feel wwe needs a "big bad", not in size but in danger and talent. Big Show was doing okay so far (but not great)...
Pumbaa Zekunt
Out of the 3 possible Rock Rumble opponents Punk, Bryan and Cena, Punk is the only 1 who could make it interesting... So I hope the heel turn does indeed lead to Rock vs Punk and Punk holding the belt until the Rumble... And I'm not a huge fan of Punk...

Thousands of federal officials would be required to publish their financial disclosure information online under a bill that is intended to ban members of Congress from profiting on insider stock trading, Federal Times reports.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) filed a motion March 20 to proceed with the approval of the House version of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act. The bill, which could be voted on as early as March 22,would require about 28,000 senior government officials and military officers to post their financial information. The affected officials would include presidential appointees, members of the senior executive service and general and flag officers -- all of whom are required to file the Office of Government Ethics Form 278 for financial disclosure.

If lawmakers can pass inside tips to consultants for profit, who are untracked (donors, Wall St, future contacts), why should ANY Federal Employee be bound? Only $400 million a year but exploding fast, Congress has decided to legalize corruption, so why not admit it? Obviously, uninformed citizens did not overwhelm the Senate with demand for the normal reconcilation step, at least enough to stop the big $$ corruption.

About Natalie
In 2004, my husband, Ken, and I spent a couple long weekend vacations in the Albrightsville area of the Poconos. At that time, we were vacation home renters ourselves and had a great time with the variety of things to do in the area, even on a budget! There are parks, beaches, hiking, rafting, boating, skiiing, great roads for motorcycle riding (if you are into that sort of thing) and so much more! In 2005, we decided to purchase Twin Oaks to offer it as a vacation rental, as well as, enjoy it ourselves with friends and family from time to time. We continue to visit the house regularly and spend much of our time there ensuring it is well maintained for our guests so they may enjoy the area just the way we have. We both work full time (I'm in Human Resources and Ken is in Construction) and live in the Montgomery County PA area with our three cats: Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Rudie.
Natalie purchased this chalet in 2005
Guestbook comments from the owner
My family and I just left the cabin and we are already planning on coming back back soon! What can I say? The house was spotless clean, warm, and spacious. The 12 of us slept comfortably every night. That's right. 12 of us. If you're looking for a great place to stay with your family, I highly recommend this place. 5 stars. 5
It was a amaizing time with my kids and grand kids, my grand kids wants to stay there for more time. They went snow tubbing, snowboarding and had the time of their life! They want me to buy that house!
Thank you Natalie! You were awesome from beginning to end! It was like you promised me!

I'm looking for a home with possibly children and a large yard to run around in. I am healthy, house broken, and up to date on my shots. I love to be indoors but in my spare time I LOVE to play in the snow and roll around and take long walks. I like to play with other dogs, right now I have a lot to play with! I think I have good manners, at least that's what people tell me. I come with all my health records and a small re homing fee. I'm a good boy and I promise to be a loyal companion! Please contact the Winkelman's if you are interested in giving me a loving home!

Peterbilt got my attention at the 2010 Mid America Trucking Show when they unveiled their all-new Model 587. That's right; it's a 5-series. After years of learning the "code" of the 3-series of trucks, Peterbilt chose to...
