There is the Calcium [dailymail.co.uk](www.dailymail.co.uk) taste buds which were not listed, and I'm sure there have been others discovered. |

It took me a few moments that by "protein" they actually mean the so-called "fifth flavor" often referred to by the Japanese word umami "savory". |

Except of course that most obesity is caused by insulin resistance, which in turn is caused by continual spiking of insulin from increased blood glucose, which in turn is caused by continual consumption of highly-refined carbs. So while fat people certainly eat fatty foods (as does everyone else), the root cause of... |

Glutamate is an amino acid that makes up proteins. The receptor recognizes it in its unbound form, not in the form incorporated in proteins, though. |

Savory is umami. |

So I've only read the abstract of the paper [cambridge.org] and they really don't claim that fat is "tasted", just that some people are able to detect it and they link that ability to BMI. Whether they are really tasting or just detecting some other physicochemical effect is still unclear. There are a lot of differ... |

Because we used "savory" to mean "pleasing" which describes all kinds of good things. Unless you're European, in which case you mean "savoury" as in the course that follows pudding, usually pickled fish, toasts, or brandied fruits, few-to-none of which are "savory" like you're trying to twist and bastardize the wor... |

Savory in English MEANS things flavoured with aromatic herbs, which doesn't make for a very good etymology. |
Savory in British MEANS for the course of a meal that's served after pudding, which doesn't make for a very good etymology. |
In fact, along the first point, there's even a herb specifically called "Savory". Also you have a bizarre definition of "technically equivalent" if you are saying "sweet" technically means "aromatic herbs". |

For some reason even if I initially notice the smell of someone's breath when kissing, it goes away after a second or two. I wouldn't say I have ever tasted another person's tongue, though I have detected hints of chocolate after she apparently only had one malteser in the past 20 minutes or so. |
I think you are more likely to taste your own tongue after you try brushing it with some toothpaste to get your tastebuds all confused. I'd say it's likely to just be the taste of your own saliva though rather than your tongue actually having a taste of its own. You could always just try eating it.. |
Wow this is a strange conversation. |

By that same point there is no protein (Umami) then either. Your tongue has only four specialized receptor cells. Salty (which is activated by direct transfer of Na ions across the plasma lemma), Sour (which is based on H ions directly crossing the plasma lemma), Sweet (which is receptor meditated and uses 2nd mess... |
While Umami has been recognized by Asia for centuries, it is a new addition to Western A&P it is based on detection of glutamate, but does not have specialized receptors. Current belief is it activates a combination of the other four, and that specific combination is "associated" with protein through learning. Whic... |

The insulative layer surrounding neurons is made of fat. No fat, you get excitation bleeding (not blood, think short circuits). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelin [wikipedia.org] |

Energy enters neurons almost exclusively as sugars. In the rare situations when adequate carbohydrates are unavailable, neurons can survive off of ketone bodies from fats elsewhere in the body, but this is a last resort and ketone bodies have poisonous byproducts. In this context, saying "the brain is fueled by car... |

It is certainly a simple enough idea but since I first started making pots with two lids, mostly with varying knobs, I have been surprised at how often an order comes in and the two-lid option is asked for. In theory and practice there is usually very little difference in the two lids but I have also been aware what a ... |

Hollywood Babble On & On #1153: Give My Regards To Broadway |
Sunday night I watched 2/3s of the Tony Awards. |
Now that may not sound like much of an achievement, but for me it was borderline miraculous. You see, the time zone I live in means everything comes on an hour later than in the east coast of the USA, and I generally get bored of award shows and change the channel somewhere in the middle of the first acceptance speech. |
Not so with the Tony Awards. It was actual physical exhaustion that drove me to sleep's perfumed bosom, and not boredom with the show itself. |
That's pretty impressive. |
I don't know much about what's happening on Broadway. I haven't seen any, and heard of only about half of the shows running on the Great White Way, but I watched. |
Three reasons: |
1. EFFORT: The hosts I've seen, like Sunday night's Hugh Jackman, and last year's Neil Patrick Harris, burn a massive amount of calories. Jackman's bouncing dance number made me winded just looking at it. Then they hit the stage and sing, and dance, and tell jokes, and keep the show moving as quickly as they can. Same... |
There's no sense that anyone is just coasting on the alleged importance of the event in question. It's a show about entertainment, and everyone is busting their back to entertain people. |
2. SINCERITY: When Sophie Okonedo won for her role in A Raisin In The Sun, she looked sincerely surprised to win. Same with Audra McDonald who looked truly moved by her record setting win of 6 Tony Awards in all four actress categories. Unlikely, and ironic for a show about the theatre, their onstage thank-yous were no... |
With the Oscars everyone takes themselves too seriously, and yes, I will admit, its critics are huge nitpickers, creating a sort of falseness that hang over the whole production. |
3. AUDIENCE: The singing, dancing and acting denizens of the former Wickquasgeck Trail appear to have remembered the importance of the audience. They remember that while the show really isn't about giving out prizes, it's supposed to be about promoting New York's live theatre industry. |
That means making people want to shell out their money to go to Manhattan, buy tickets, and plant their bums in seats. That means they have to appear as interesting and entertaining as they can possibly be. |
Unlike the Oscars and the movie industry most Broadway producers outside of Disney are not cogs in massive media conglomerates. That means that these producers don't have many buffers between them and their investors in what has always been and always will be a feast or famine market. They have to at least attempt to a... |
Unlike the Oscars, the Tonys are not a quasi-genre, and there is no way to produce a play that is guaranteed to get at least a Tony nomination, let alone a win. The roughly 42 member nominating committee changes regularly, and the roughly 700 final voting members covers many facets of the community, and there are no se... |
If they make a show for a niche audience, they make a niche audience sized investment, and fully expect that the niche in question has to include people outside the small theatre making community. |
The Oscars could learn a lot from the Tonys, but I doubt they will. They're way too important for that. |

My prayer beads make me happy. |
Over a year ago I made a set of prayer beads based on the mala crossed with the paidirean of the Céile Dé. It has 108 wood beads split into 3 sections by tigereye and with a drop of garnet and tigereye beads. It ends with a small stone goddess. I strung it on steel beading wire to make it last. As the wire stretches wi... |
There's something soothing about slowly working the beads through my fingers as I breathe. It's a great way to start and end the day. It helps me to recharge my batteries. It's also my favorite act of devotion to Goddess. |
Do you have any practices that work well for you? |
1. Welcoming sunrise or sunset. Wandering around the garden, being thankful for all I see. Breathing on a square. Patting the soft furry bellies of the cats, listening to them purr, watching the birds... |
2. Your prayer beads are lovely, lovely, LOVELY! And extra-special because you made them yourself. |
I have two main acts/practices of devotion to the Divine Feminine -- walking labyrinths and facilitating my Women's Drumming and Goddess Chanting Circle every month. |
3. Thank you. I think every act of creation is an act of devotion. I wish I had a garden, but the dogs and turtles tend to destroy it. I wish I had a labyrinth near me, that would be fun. How do you breathe on a square? |
1. You slowly breath in for a measured count, then out for a measured count, then in, then out visualising the square as you go - first breath is one side, second the next...Repeat as many times as necessary. I don't know why it works - but it does for me. |
2. Thanks! That's a really good technique. I'll have to try it soon. |

The videos are available on our Minnesota 4-H Youtube channel, they are easy to share on social ... |

The first hotel they tested was Candlewood Suites in Manhattan, New York. |

When they lifted the sheets the next day, they made a horrifying discovery... |

Worksheet Wednesday FREEBIE! :) |
Mrs. Spangler is my name and ELA is my game! So I am happy to share a little ELA worksheet freebie with you all! |
So here you go - a quick little review on the structure of a paragraph... topic sentence, 3 details (each detail gets its own sentence), conclusion sentence. |
It's a very basic 1 pager but comes with a suggested answer key. :) (The answer key could probably be used on it's own as an alternate way to review structure.) |
I like to use it at the start of the year as an easy, confidence building writing exercise. |
Click HERE to get your copy! :) |
Thanks for stopping by! |
1. Great freebie! I sure can use this with my kiddos. THANKS! |
2. Hooray another middle school blogger to follow! Only I've been in elementary for the past 10 years, so it will be interesting! I hope that I "live to tell the tale, too!" :) I'll be teaching math and science. Thank you for letting me stop by! :) |
