Bananas

Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to
pick the little 'stringy things' off of it. That's how the primates do it.

Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store.
If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.

Knowledge / The World’s Strangest Delicacies
« on: February 25, 2010, 05:52:04 PM »
Each country has their own traditional dishes like England’s roast dinner, Spain’s paella and Italy’s lasagne; however there are some countries that have more unusual delicacies. I have put together 10 of the strangest delicacies that are not for the faint hearted, so it’s probably best to look away now if you’re squeamish!

Tuna Eyeball - Eaten in China and Japan


Tuna Eye can be found staring up at you in most Japanese stores for less than a Pound. Apparently it tastes a bit like squid and the eyeball comes surrounded by fish fat and severed muscles that are also meant to be quite tasty. To cook, you simply boil it and then season to taste.

Salmon Roe - Eaten in Eastern Europe and Russia


This is the is the fully ripe internal ovaries or egg masses of Salmon, a similar dish to the more widely-known Caviar. In some parts of Eastern Europe, the more expensive Salmon Roe is seen as a delicacy but there are also cheaper versions available in the chilled food sections of most supermarkets

Casu Marzu - Eaten in Sardinia


Casu Marzu literally translated means “rotten cheese” in Sardinian. This is also known as maggot cheese because it is made from traditional sheep milk and insect larvae. The cheese is left for months to decompose and then the Larvae of a cheese fly are introduced into the cheese to break down its fat. They look like see-through worms, just under 1cm long and can jump up to 15 cm when disturbed. Some people remove the maggots before eating where as others prefer to leave them in. If the maggots die, the cheese becomes toxic which has lead to this Sardinian cheese being banned for health reasons.

Cod Fish Sperm - Eaten in Japan


This slippery, soft white food is a popular winter delicacy in Japan. Shirako, otherwise known as Cod Fish Sperm Sac, is said to melt in the mouth like butter and is made from cod milt, a fancier word for fish sperm. It can be eaten both raw and cooked, depending on individual tastes.

Chicken Cartilage - Eaten in Japan



Chicken cartilage is commonly served in bars in Japan as a tasty snack. It can be eaten fried or on a shish kabob. The texture is very chewy and sometimes can take quite a few mouthfuls to break it up properly.

Salo - Eaten in Ukraine


Salo is an Ukraine delicacy that is actually pig fat! Salo can be eaten raw, smoked, fried or boiled but in Russia it is most commonly eaten as a snack to accompany vodka, they cut thin slices and add it to rye bread rubbed with garlic. It is stored in cold dark places where it can last up to a year, however if it is kept longer than that the surface will turn yellow and it will then be used for things like a protection treatment for leather boots!

BALUT - Eaten in the Philippine [/color]


Balut is known as “the treat with feet” or “the egg with legs” and is a favourite snack of the Philippines. It is a fertilized egg that is buried in the ground for a few weeks until an embryo has nearly been developed, it is then boiled and eaten in its shell.

Goat Head - Eaten in Southern Africa [/color]


Goat head is served complete with cooked brains, tongue and ears! In Southern Africa it is boiled with onions, garlic, tomatoes, ginger and chillies which gives it its flavour, and surprisingly it is served in some very upscale restaurants! It is also been known to be served with the goat’s eyes but only if you are lucky enough to be a guest of honour!

Cuy Bien - Eaten in Peru


Cuy Bien is a traditional dish and a major part of the diets in Peru, this is because roasted guinea pig is high in protein and very low in fat. Its taste has reportedly been compared to a number of different meats including, the dark meat of chicken, rabbit and even rat!

Yak Penis - Eaten in China


Yak penis is a Chinese delicacy and is also known as "Dragon in the Flame of Desire". It is most commonly served in the Guolizhuang Restaurant in Beijing which is famous for serving penis and testicle dishes, the yak penis dish is very popular as it is supposed to be very good for your skin!

News Khabran / Marry whom? Marry him? Settle down, not so fast
« on: February 25, 2010, 04:49:26 PM »

Settle down, the red-hot book, Marry Him, The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough  is flying off bookshelves – causing a stir and consternation.

Author Lori Gottlieb  is a controversial marketing genius. The recent flurry of Valentine’s Day book promotions, appearances on myriad televison talk shows, guest column slots, and a drag out marketing campaign catapulted the author and her book into the SEO stratosphere.

Called "wise and daring"  and "brutually honest",  Marry Him is a surefire bestseller because of the controversy it leaves in it’s wake. It all started in February 2008, when Gottlieb wrote ‘the article’ for The Atlantic. The scathing piece, the basis for the book, was considered caustic, heartless and derisive. Nothing like an effective literary attention-getting-device to garner great ratings.

Best Marketing Ploy for Book Sales: Controversy

Granted, women have strong and heartfelt beliefs about marrying, marrying beneath oneself (what does that mean in 2010?) and, perhaps, choosing to remain single. The topics are very personal and scalding hot. Does Marry Him instruct us to discard our standards, ideals and our Top 10 Qualities list?  Do we merely settle for the next guy, with a pulse, who darkens our doorstep? I think not.

Gottlieb makes a great point in a  recent column in WowoWow about women and the dating things we do wrong. We are raised on stories about Cinderella, Prince Charming, Wolf Ranges and Volvos . Some of us have even placed ourselves on lofty pedestals, unfortunately, just beyond the reach of really great guys. Gottlieb makes cogent points; the book will both  cause you to open your eyes, blink, and  shake your head, in disbelief.  And, in agreement.

What I know: Life is all about compromise, and at this stage of the game, we know that compromise is the panacea of life.  The best relationships are all about give and take. Right?


Remember: Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes. And he knows it.

News Khabran / An emotion detector for baby
« on: February 25, 2010, 04:38:47 PM »
Baby monitors of the future could translate infant cries, so that parents will know for certain whether their child is sleepy, hungry, needing a change, or in pain. Japanese scientists report details of a statistical computer program that can analyze a baby's crying in the International Journal of Biometrics.

As any new parent knows, babies  have a very loud method of revealing their emotional state - crying. Unfortunately, the parenting handbook does not offer guidance on how to determine what the crying means. Parents sometimes learn with experience that their child's cries may be slightly different depending on their cause, whether hunger or discomfort.

Now, engineers in Japan have turned to an approach to product design, known as kansei engineering, invented in the 1970s by Professor Mitsuo Nagamachi, Dean of Hiroshima International University, which aims to "measure" feelings and emotions.

Tomomasa Nagashima of the Department of Computer Science and Systems Engineering, at Muroran Institute of Technology, in Hokkaido and colleagues explain that the fundamental problem in building an emotion detector for baby's crying is that the baby cannot confirm verbally what its cries mean. Various researchers have tried to classify infant emotions based on an analysis of the crying pattern but with little success so far.

The team has employed sound pattern recognition approach that uses a statistical analysis of the frequency of cries and the power function of the audio spectrum to classify different types of crying. They were then able to correlate the different recorded audio spectra with a baby's emotional state as confirmed by the child's parents. In their tests recordings of crying babies with a painful genetic disorder, were used to make differentiating between the babies' pained cries and other types of crying more obvious. They achieved 100% success rate in a validation to classify pained cries and "normal" cries.

The research has developed a sound theoretical method for classification of infant emotions, although limited to a specific emotion, based on analysis of the audio spectra of the baby's cries. The technique might one day be incorporated into a portable electronic device, or app, to help parents or carers decide on a course of action when their child is crying.

« on: February 24, 2010, 09:53:39 PM »
I still dont follow..  :loll:
okie lemme explain. Imagine u wanna make a decision on somthing important. Ask 10-12 women or frends who are girls or girl frends, (female species)to reach at a decision for you. They would turn up with their suggestions in a day or two (all different). Now the wisest thing wud be to make your own decision but of course your decision must be different from decisions given by those females.
