AWD provides greater control over wet roots and slippery rocks. The rear wheel simply will not slip without transferring some of the power to front wheel. The AWD system is so efficient, it is hard to tell whether it is working… until you need it.

You will be able to descend with confidence and corner more aggressively due to increased front wheel grip. Pedaling, shifting and braking are just like on a traditional bike. When the clutch is engaged, the rear spiral gear interlocks with the rear hub and power is transferred via internal shafts to the forward spiral gear set, which drives the CHRISTINI freehub.

Due to a slight gearing differential, the front wheel is not actively powered on smooth level ground. However, the moment the rear wheel slips, power is instantaneously transferred to the front wheel. We realized that every other motorcycle we've ridden hard constantly exceeds available traction, tearing up trails and shredding rear tires. Christini claims that rear tires last more than twice as long on an AWD bike. The AWD system comes with some disadvantages, starting with 13 extra pounds.

It takes more effort to loft the front wheel because the extra weight of the AWD system sits ahead of the countershaft sprocket. And the system adds complexity to the bike: There are three more chains and several more gears, though Christini includes a grease gun with purchase and Zerk grease fittings make it easy to keep everything running smoothly. During our factory tour last year, we saw that the quality of the AWD parts is top-notch and the additional complexity is more than offset by the bike's on-trail competence.

Whether you're roosting your friends on a rocky uphill climb or riding happily through deep sand, AWD makes it easier to go fast or slowly off-road. Type keyword s to search. Today's Top Stories.

As the power is transferred to the front wheel, it becomes easier for the rear wheel to find traction which in turn allows the rear to grab traction and move the bike forward again. The front then releases and you are instantly rear wheel drive again. When you ride the Christini you will be amazed at how easy it is to find traction, and how much energy you conserve compared to a conventional motorcycle.

There is no energy-robbing hydraulics involved. The light weight all-mechanical system works similar to that of AWD systems found on four wheeled vehicles. The use of one-way clutches in the front hub allows the front wheel to be driven at a slightly slower rate than the rear wheel.

Power is transferred to the front wheel only when the rear wheel loses traction or the front wheel skids. The front-to-rear power ratio is adjustable with a simple sprocket adjustment. This allows for nearly unlimited fine tuning of the AWD system to suit riding conditions and personal riding preference.

See how this works in our AWD Tech section. The whole system is easily maintained using standard tools that you already have in your tool box.

A person can get cholera by drinking water or eating food contaminated with cholera bacteria. In an epidemic, the source of the contamination is usually the feces of an infected person that contaminates water or food. The disease can spread rapidly in areas with inadequate treatment of sewage and drinking water. The infection is not likely to spread directly from one person to another; therefore, casual contact with an infected person is not a risk factor for becoming ill.

Cholera infection is often mild or without symptoms, but can be severe. It usually takes days for symptoms to appear after a person ingests cholera bacteria, but the time can range from a few hours to 5 days.

Persons living in places with unsafe drinking water, poor sanitation, and inadequate hygiene are at the highest risk for cholera. If you think you or a member of your family might have cholera, seek medical attention immediately. Dehydration can be rapid so fluid replacement is essential. If you have oral rehydration solution ORS , start taking it immediately; it can save a life.

Continue to drink ORS at home and while traveling to get medical treatment. If an infant has watery diarrhea, continue breastfeeding. To test for cholera, doctors must take a stool sample or a rectal swab and send it to a laboratory to look for the cholera bacteria. Cholera can be simply and successfully treated by immediate replacement of the fluid and salts lost through diarrhea. Patients can be treated with oral rehydration solution ORS , a prepackaged mixture of sugar and salts that is mixed with 1 liter of water and drunk in large amounts.

This solution is used throughout the world to treat diarrhea. People who don't get the proper medical treatment may even die. People get it from drinking water or eating food that's contaminated with a type of bacteria called Vibrio cholerae.

It's rare in the United States, but people can still get it. People who travel from countries where the infection is more common can bring cholera into the U.

Some people in the U. People get cholera from eating or drinking food or water that's been contaminated with the feces poop of someone who has cholera. This is one reason why cholera is rare in countries with good sanitation systems. Things like flush toilets, sewer systems, and water treatment facilities keep poop out of the water and food supply. But for people living in places without good sanitation, cholera is more of a risk.

Cholera epidemics can also sometimes happen after a disaster like an earthquake or flood if people are living in tent cities or other places without running water or proper sanitation systems. Cholera is not contagious , so you can't catch it from direct contact with another person. If you develop symptoms of cholera, especially after visiting an area where the disease is common, call your doctor or get medical help right away.

Severe dehydration can happen very quickly, so it's essential to start replacing lost fluids right away. If you have a severe case of diarrhea or vomiting, call a doctor immediately, even if you're pretty sure it's not cholera. Dehydration is a serious medical condition regardless of the cause, and it needs to be treated quickly before it can do damage to internal organs.

To confirm a diagnosis of cholera, doctors may take a stool sample or vomit sample to examine for signs of the bacteria. Others develop more-serious signs and symptoms of cholera, usually within a few days of infection. Dehydration can develop within hours after cholera symptoms start and range from mild to severe. Signs and symptoms of cholera dehydration include irritability, fatigue, sunken eyes, a dry mouth, extreme thirst, dry and shriveled skin that's slow to bounce back when pinched into a fold, little or no urinating, low blood pressure, and an irregular heartbeat.

Dehydration can lead to a rapid loss of minerals in your blood that maintain the balance of fluids in your body. This is called an electrolyte imbalance. The risk of cholera is slight in industrialized nations.

Even in areas where it exists you're not likely to become infected if you follow food safety recommendations. Still, cases of cholera occur throughout the world. If you develop severe diarrhea after visiting an area with active cholera, see your doctor. If you have diarrhea, especially severe diarrhea, and think you might have been exposed to cholera, seek treatment right away. Severe dehydration is a medical emergency that requires immediate care.

A bacterium called Vibrio cholerae causes cholera infection. The deadly effects of the disease are the result of a toxin the bacteria produces in the small intestine. The toxin causes the body to secrete enormous amounts of water, leading to diarrhea and a rapid loss of fluids and salts electrolytes.

Cholera bacteria might not cause illness in all people who are exposed to them, but they still pass the bacteria in their stool, which can contaminate food and water supplies. Contaminated water supplies are the main source of cholera infection.

Persons who develop severe diarrhea and vomiting in countries where cholera occurs should seek medical attention promptly.

The FDA recently approved a single-dose live oral cholera vaccine called Vaxchora lyophilized CVD HgR for adults 18 — 64 years old who are traveling to an area of active cholera transmission with toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1 the bacteria strain that most commonly causes cholera.

The vaccine is not routinely recommended for most travelers from the United States, as most people do not visit areas of active cholera transmission. The single most important preventive measure is to avoid consuming uncooked foods or water in foreign countries where cholera occurs unless they are known to be safe or have been properly treated for example, sealed bottled, boiled, or chemically treated water. In addition, it is important to wash your hands often with soap and clean water or an alcohol based hand cleanser, particularly before you eat or prepare foods and after using the bathroom.

When you use your grill, you will have ashes left over from the burnt charcoal that you used previously. This can add up and cause the flames to burn out more quickly. So, it is also important to remove some of the ashes from the grill before trying to start it up. These habits are great to get into so that you continually do them as you grill. These tips will keep your fire lasting longer so that you get the perfectly grilled, or seared, meat that you were hoping for.

There is a common misconception that grilling with charcoal is a cumbersome activity. Nothing can be further from the truth, at least if you know what you are doing. Just make sure to remember this guide and you should be grilling in no time. However, none is as important as making sure that it stays hot. Understanding how charcoals work will help you do just that and make the entire cooking experience that much more convenient.

Before anything else, there are a couple of steps you need to follow before you can start cooking with your charcoal grill. For instance, you need to ensure that you give your charcoal enough time to reach its optimal temperature.

For instance, it only takes around 10 minutes to reach high heat while it can take up to 25 minutes to reach medium heat levels.

This is incredibly important as this can be the difference between a smooth grilling experience and an arduous one. Luckily, there are several ways to keep your fire burning nice and hot:. This is another question that comes up. The answer to this is a resounding yes, you can add more charcoal while cooking. After all, the things mentioned above can only do so much.

Even adding bits of paper as a secondary fuel source is only effective for a certain period. There are some scenarios where you will simply have to add charcoal. This is especially true if you are cooking for hours on end. Adding charcoal will be important if you want to keep the heat consistent enough to continue grilling. You need to be smart about it. As a rule, you should be adding charcoal every 30 minutes.

The main thing to remember is that a fire will only burn as long as it has the fuel required to do so. If you simply let your coals burn out, then the grill will continue to emit a faint amount of heat for about 15 minutes or so before it starts to cool completely. When the embers begins to die down, add fresh coals to the perimeter of the fire. Open the vents as far as they can go so that the new coals will have a chance to ignite, then adjust them as the grill approaches your desired temperature.

When the new coals are about two-thirds covered with silvery ash, use a set of heatproof tongs to move them to the center of the fire. This process can be repeated every 30 minutes as needed. Note: Depending on your plans, you might need to invest in an extra supply of charcoal beforehand.

Now that you know how to maintain the temperature of your coals, the question remains: What foods should be cooked at which temperatures? It only takes about 10 minutes for a charcoal grill to get hot enough to cook foods at high heat. If this is your goal, we would recommend using the two-zone technique when stacking the coals.

To do this, create a taller stack of coals on one side of the grill, with a lower stack on the other. This will allow you to sear foods quickly at high heat, then remove them to the cooler side to finish cooking. High heat is ideal for steaks, burgers, and bone-in pork chops. Hardy vegetables, such as carrots, onions and corn on the cob, can also withstand hot temperatures. Simply wait minutes before adding food to the grill. This is the preferred temperature for veggies like asparagus and eggplant, as well as proteins such as chicken, fish, and boneless pork chops.

We would also recommend it for precooked sausages like bratwurst and hot dogs. This is because the sugars in the marinade will burn if the fire is too hot. It can be difficult to maintain low heat in a charcoal grill, which is why many pitmasters prefer gas or pellet grills for long cooking applications like smoking.

However, it is possible to keep your fire burning at about degrees Fahrenheit for long enough to make smoked brisket or pork shoulder.

Place the ingredients on the cooler side of the grill. After about three hours, it will be time to start replenishing the coals. Light the starter. Once the 3 pieces of charcoal are lit, close the lid and adjust the vents to obtain a temperature of to degrees.

The lit coals will gradually ignite the unlit coals and wood giving you a slow, steady burn and hours of smoke. Arrange three-quarters of the charcoal in the firebox, interspersing it with unsoaked wood chunks or chips. Light the remaining coals in a chimney starter. Pour the lit coals on top of the unlit coals, arranging a few more wood chunks or chips on top. The lit embers will gradually light the remaining coals from top to bottom.

While I was cleaning yesterday, I found a balsam wood set of chopsticks and they were longer than the bamboo ones so I sharpened and sanded the pointy ends. I sanded them again and they worked. Well now I know why knitting needles are never made of balsam wood. I sanded them again using my nail file because it is a finer grain than the sandpaper block I have. I used my wood dusting spray to see if the polish would make it slicker and it did a little.

They sure smell good now. I knitted a little sample to show that it does work. I used a hair elastic to use as a stopper so the yarn never slips off. Then I had a nother idea! The balsam wood is very soft. I thought I might try to make a crochet hook on one of the knitting needle ends!

I was able to shape the top and under the hook area with the sanding block and my nail file. It came out better than I thought! Look what I made! Actually the hook was easier to use on acrylic than the needle ends and is about as big as a J or K hook. Jumbo or extreme knitting is all the rage these days! Investing in this hobby, however, is crazy expensive.

Many knitters are turning to alternative knitting needles for these big projects like dowels and PVC pipes. Barb Schuelke: My husband bought wooden dowels from the hardware store. He cut them into 4 or 5 pieces, used an old-fashioned pencil sharpener then finished sanding them by hand. I have lots of different sizes of DPN! Joann Rice Meagher: My uncle made me size 15 needles out of a dowel. Years and years ago. Wendy Williams: Substituting giant knitting needles with PVC pipes to knit a giant chunky blanket, it's working really well so far.

Julie Allen: I made oversized needless out of 1. See below! Larger knitting needles force you to make larger knitting projects.

The bigger or smaller the needle, the more delicate the project. Many knitters have turned to needles and toothpicks to make tiny little projects. Lisa Allen: Two metal sewing needles.

I was challenged by a friend on how tiny I could knit. I used sewing thread Leah Olson Although I have never used anything other than knitting needles. I met an elderly gentleman who was knitting the most beautiful preemie baby socks on 4 bicycle spokes. It was fun but difficult.

But I made a nice little square! Gwen Swain: Cocktail sticks to knit clothes for my mice. Diane Youngblood: When I was young, I wanted to make a tiny scarf for my Barbie, so I used two nails from my Dad's workshop and crochet thread. Kathi Schallenberg : Round toothpicks. Put a small bead on one end, knitted about a 1" square out of embroidery cotton with them and used it on a greeting card. Was a big hit with the recipient. Leanne Michelle: Toothpicks, to make Christmas ornaments a few years ago.

I started knitting it on sock needles and then transferring to the toothpicks, but it was just easier to knit directly onto the toothpicks. I made an ornament for the Christmas tree. Need a way to store your knitting supplies! Check out this massive list of storage ideas:. Laurie Elkind Flanagan: Not me, but, as the story goes, my great grandmother was so big busted that her husband made her knitting needles out of willow branches. He would make them extra-long so she could stick the ends under her arms and knit over her bust.

She also knitted 4 needle socks without even looking at what she was doing! Made one out of a branch with my knife! I still use it today! Helen Twaddle: I once was in the bush a lost a needle, so I sharpened a stick and kept knitting! Be the first to upload your own image for this pattern!

Please specify whether your post is relating to Classic D2 or the Expansion. Post by vinceclipse » Wed Jul 09, pm I have been making some recipies that add a random amount of sockets to an item, up to its maximum amount, and wanted to make all armor and weapons socketable. This way all players can take advantage of gems and seeing a socketed item drop offers a short-term efficiency advantage, but in the long run competitive players can still make steady progress towards a best-in-slot gear setup without relying on an additional layer of randomness.

The one thing all the above topics have in common is that they have been driven by your passionate feedback throughout the development process, which has helped shape the game for the better over the course of the past year. But I understand the goal here — Shadowlands is already changing how secondary stats scale on gear, so an active attempt to control how much you can boost yourself with gems instead of letting you just staple sockets on every single piece of gear you own makes sense.

This approach should allow for Jewelcrafting to still stay relevant without making players desperately hot glue sparkly rocks to every inch of their character in an attempt to eke out that extra bit of power.

We'll see you in the market. We've got a double celebration today! Wrath of the Lich King's 13 anniversary and Warlords of Draenor's 7th anniversary. Many consider it the best WoW expansion to date.

Death Knights were first introduced to the game and the level cap was increased to 80 in Wrath of the Lich King. Storm Peaks have been updated with Ulduar, a new raid where players had to confront Yogg-Saron.

Notable loot includes Mimiron's Head. Blizzard also added the Argent Tournament to Icecrown in this patch. Call of the Crusade went live on August 4, , and the patch came with the Isle of Conquest, the Crusaders' Coliseum dungeon, and the Trial of the Crusader raid. The story of the Argent tournament continued and only the boldest of adventurers could prove they were worthy and ready to end Lich King's reign.

At the Wrathgate, both factions confronted the Lich King, but Varimathras' betrayal caused Grand Apothecary Putress to unleash a plague on both armies, resulting in massive casualties for both factions. The final major content patch of the expansion went live on December 8, Notable loot includes Invincible's Reins. Warlords of Draenor was released on November 13, The expansion only had two major content patches.

Warlords of Draenor Cinematic The first content patch was released on February 24, , and introduced updated Blood Elf models, the Heirlooms tab, and Twitter integration. The final major content patch named "Fury of Hellfire" went live on June 22, One topic gets talked about more and more over the years and keeps coming back, as WoW has so much content that simply is not being uses properly or even at all.

Also, Blizzard seem to be very much listening to the community and their ideas at the moment, and so I dove into a way to bring old raids back as current content, but not just as timewalking but as actual, proper, fully-fledged experiences with all the difficulty levels, and even story relevance, since I think it really is time to bring them back. As I go into detail in the Raider. IO article, many players have not gotten to see older raids, at least not properly, with some truly amazing experiences going to waste on simple transmog or mount farming runs, when everyone is stuck doing the same single raid over and over for an entire patch.

And so bringing the best of the best old raids back seems like a slam-dunk, with not that much work needing to be done and offering a lot of content that many players have not seen at all, have not seen in the proper light, or would just like to revisit!

Updating an old raid to make it fully equivalent to the current content one could be done in. So for example for 9. Whether it's Chromie or some other Bronze Dragonflight time travel shenanigans, we'd get to go and re-live the ICC raid and even add in new realizations about that period, given the new information we now know like for example how the Jailer was involved, how he affected Arthas, contacted Sylvanas etc.

The mere idea of being able to face the Lich King again in a proper, difficult, progression encounter is enough of a reason to at least consider this, not to mention other classics like Lei Shen, Garrosh, Blackhand, Gul'Dan, Elisande I could go on for a long while here.

IO, from more details on how it could be implemented, how the loot would work players wouldn't have to do the new raid if they didn't want to , the pros and cons, how the raids could be chosen and more. So if you're interested in the idea, hop on over to Raider. IO and read the full thing, and if you want, you can also vote in the poll below!

Most comments pretty much in agreement that these concept pieces actually look pretty awesome and would be worthy of the big return of tier sets: Those look genuinely impressive with my personal pick being the Warrior looking one, third on the second picture , have a heavy Shadowlands theme and were welcomed by pretty much everyone.

Unfortunately their actual in-game versions were not. I wasn't actively listening to the audio and thought these were some blues that dropped from the new zone, my jaw dropped when I realized these were the tier sets.

The drivers must move so that they are close to pyrite on the ground. Demolisher gunners can load themselves into the Demolisher's main catapult.

The driver can then launch them so that they land on top of Flame Leviathan, near one of the Leviathan Defense Turrets. There are 2 turrets in player mode, 4 in player.

Once the launched player lands atop the Leviathan he will be unable to move and will only be able to melee the turret closest to him. Ranged classes can reach all turrets, so ranged DPS classes are almost always the ones thrown.

The turrets will defend themselves with a flame attack, which while not powerful can be problematic. The players may eject at any time to be parachuted the ground, although doing so before the Leviathan shuts down is often fatal due to the Leviathan's constant AoE.

Players can then jump back into vehicles. Motorcycles, with their sidecars empty, can easily pick up former gunners and ferry them back to their Demolisher seat. Shutdown is a highly desirable state, but shooting a Demolisher gunner means he no longer gathers pyrite for that Demolisher. A Demolisher can store enough pyrite for 10 shots.

If the driver is conservative and shoots only once every 9 seconds just so the debuff stays up, the stock lasts a minute and more, which is in theory ample time for the gunner to destroy the turrets and resume collecting pyrite. In practise, drivers like to have a twitchy trigger finger, and collecting pyrite requires manoeuvering, so it may in effect take longer and the pyrite stack goes down. Another idea is to assign two gunners to some demolishers.

Prior to pulling the boss, one player can preload in the demolisher gun, and a second player can man the gun. In that state, the preloaded player can be launched, while the demolisher retains a gunner to keep up the pyrite supply. After the first shutdown is over, the second player can load himself, and he can be launched as soon as shutdown is over, even before the first player is brought back to the demolisher.

In 10 player, one chopper is not used, and that player is used as second gunner in one demolisher. In 25 player, various combinations are possible. If two damage dealers are enough to bring all turrets down fast enough, two choppers can be abandoned and two demolishers get a second gunner. If three damage dealers are needed, one chopper and one Siege Engine are left empty. This was thought to be a bug, but was confirmed to be working as intended. Currently drivers of Demolishers can no longer change seats to either hook their own Pyrite or use the Speed Boost.

Upon changing seats via clicking the open space or change seat key binding , the Demolisher sometimes despawns and the player then dies from Flame Leviathan's AoE effects.

It has been reported that if somebody in the raid group pulls the Flame Leviathan while others are left behind the barrier, the boss may go through the barrier and be killed outside anywhere in the instance. After going through the barrier it may attack empty vehicles and players entering the instance while not in combat.

Be advised though, that this is considered an exploit and a bannable offense. The fix may have been to prevent this glitch and to provide a soft reset for this boss should a vehicle be accidentally left behind the barrier. Leaving towers up for hard mode rewards progressively better loot. Flame Leviathan also has a standard Heroic Ulduar Boss chance of dropping a runed orb, a crafting recipe, and a Fragment of Val'anyr.

It has been confirmed that you can have multiple recipes and runed orbs. Engineers with skill or higher can salvage parts from Flame Leviathan. The amount and type of salvage obtained at various difficulty levels is uncertain. You can help collecting data. To avoid them, the raid should be huddled up closely near the center of the platform, so that the Val'kyr have the longest path to the edge.

They must be snared, slowed and nuked. Defile is an AoE which is centered on a random raid member. Whenever it deals damage, it grows larger and increases its damage output. This ability is extremely dangerous and the major cause of wipes in this encounter. In order to avoid Defile, the raid must be spread out and close to the outer edge of the platform.

Right after the start of Phase 2, Val'kyrs come up next. Thus initially, the raid should group near the center, everyone on the same side so that all Val'kyr victims are carried in the same direction. Immediately after the Val'kyr have picked up their targets, the raid should spread out, because after 5 seconds, the first Defile takes place.

The area in which the Val'kyr drops their victims is right where the outer ring that dropped away used to be. If a Val'kyr is summoned while the Lich King is close to the transition phase, it might be more valuable to push him to the next phase instead of killing the Val'kyr.

When the Lich King resurfaces the outer ring, the victim is dropped safely on the edge, outside of Remorseless Winter. Soul Reaper is a very damaging debuff applied on the Lich King's current tank every 30 seconds. It's a good idea to switch tank after Soul Reaper, otherwise a combination of Soul Reaper tick plus melee hit may instantly kill the tank. The transition is similar to the first Remorseless Winter.

This time every 15 sec a Raging Spirit spawns for a total of four. After one minute, Phase 3 starts. Instead of Val'kyr, he summons Vile Spirits. Generally, the raid should be well distributed during Phase 3, to minimize the danger from Defile.

Vile Spirits man normal: 66, health; man normal: , move toward raid members and explode when they reach their target.

The most obvious way to deal with them is to AoE kill them before they start moving — fire mages, shadow priests, affliction warlocks and moonkins are very effective at this - but only if the spirits are grouped closely together.

The Spirits move very quickly at start but slow down over time, thus snares are helpful. An effective strategy is to drag the Lich King to one edge of the room and then drag him all the way to the opposite side after Vile Spirits spawn, and kite them through Earthbind Totems and frost traps.

They start with a small amount of threat on a random player but they can be both taunted and outthreated. The tank who is not tanking can taunt the Spirits onto him and absorb their damage. If your raid is low on ranged DPS, attempting to kill them may not be an effective strategy, and the phase can be survived by simply kiting the spirits and staying spread out.

Arthas also casts a new spell called Harvest Soul every 70 seconds on a random raid member, which causes 45, man 90, damage over six seconds. Victims who survive this are sucked into Frostmourne see below. After 15 minutes from when he was engaged Arthas enrages. His enrage gives him an enormous buff to his damage output, but he does not one-shot the raid when he enrages like some other major bosses; therefore it is still possible to push him into phase four and thus defeat him after he enrages.

The buff is removed when leaving Frostmourne. Its damage over time effect has been reduced to was 1, Salvaged Fusion Amplifier now causes your attacks to have a very high chance to deal 1, Arcane damage was 1, The quest items that unlock the covenant flying mounts, Spring Wilderling, Foresworn Aquillon, and Mastercraft Gravewing should now drop for members of their appropriate covenants regardless of Renown level.

The act of eating turtle was beside the point. As the turtle trade matured through the s, access expanded, and the middle-class was finally let in on the action. Select London taverns offered bowls of soup regularly, and one—aptly called The Ship And The Turtle—stocked an aquarium full of live specimens in the dining room where guests could eye their next meal.

For those who managed to secure their own wriggling animal, beer halls offered to handle the dirty work of butchering and cooking, meaning fancy dinner party hosts could provide their guests with catered bowls while sparing their home kitchens. While turtle soup in England may have been a luxury made from giant green sea turtles, American colonists found great numbers of smaller turtles and tortoises, enough to make it an accessible dietary staple.

The founding fathers were big fans —John Adams and George Washington both celebrated independence with hearty bowls of turtle stew—and early frontiersmen fought off hunger by catching turtles out of streams as they pushed west along with other bygone snacks such as beaver and river eel. Northern states celebrated the diamond terrapin, while Southern states were home to grand alligator snappers.

The Texas Gulf Coast even provided a domestic source for the giant green sea turtles of yore. By the mids, turtle was quintessentially American cuisine. Consider the Victorian favorite mock turtle soup. For the true historical throwback touch, serve it in a hollowed-out turtle shell and add meatballs in the shape of turtle eggs. They and their eggs are often still illegally hunted as they can be valuable and are considered a delicacy by many.

In states where certain turtles can be hunted, it is not usually allowed all year long; there is a specified hunting season. Similar to cooking and eating rats , you will first want to remove the feet and head as they are the dirtiest part. If they are healthy, they can live without food for months, so you can catch them and keep them for quite some time.

Most are relatively easy to catch and have other parts besides the meat, like the shell, that could be useful. However, for the most part, it is probably best to avoid eating turtles unless you need to for survival. Author: Ethan. Can You Eat Turtles? This article will cover how they taste, how people cook them, and the legalities of doing so.

What are the Benefits of Eating Turtle Meat? Can You Eat Turtle Eggs? Is it Legal to Eat Turtle? Top with a paper thin slice of lemon. Season the meat to taste with your favorite seasonings and then roll in flour. Heat a little oil in a large skillet.

Add the onion and garlic if desired. Add the meat and brown on all sides. Place the meat in a baking dish. Cover and cook at F for 3 hours. Add water as needed. Place the upper and lower shell in a large kettle with 4 quarts of cold water, simmer gently until bones fall apart.

Put into soup kettle the head, fins, liver, heart, and all the meat; add all the seasonings, cover with liquor in which the shells were boiled and simmer until meat is thoroughly done; strain the mixture through a fine sieve. Melt the butter and brown the finely chopped onion in it. Add the flour and cook together until brown. Add a pint of the soup, a little at a time, and cook until smooth. Combine with rest of the soup. After removing the entrails, cut up the coarser parts of the turtle meat and bones.

Add four quarts of water, and stew four hours with the herbs, onions, pepper and salt. Stew very slowly, do not let it cease boiling during this time. At the end of four hours strain the soup, and add the finer parts of the turtle and the green fat, which has been simmered one hour in two quarts of water.

Thicken with brown flour; return to the soup-pot, and simmer mildly for an hour longer. If there are eggs in the turtle, boil them in a separate vessel for four hours, and throw into the soup before taking up.

If not, put in force meat balls; then the juice of the lemon, and the wine; beat up at once and pour out. Some cooks add the finer meat before straining, boiling all together five hours; then strain, thicken and put in the green fat, sliced into lumps an inch long.

This makes a handsomer soup than if the meat is left in. Force Meat Balls for the Above: Six tablespoonfuls of turtle meat chopped very fine. Rub to a paste, with the yolk of two hard-boiled eggs, a tablespoonful of butter, and, if convenient, a small amount of oyster liquor.

Bind all with a well-beaten egg; shape into small balls; dip in egg, then powdered cracker; fry in butter, and drop into the soup when it is served.

Place in a pot of cold water to cover and bring to a boil. Remove the turtle and scrape off the black skin. Remove upper shell and gut.

Chop off the claws. Heat oil or lard in wok over high heat to about F C , or until a piece of scallion or ginger sizzles and moves around quickly when dropped into the oil. Add the scallions, ginger, garlic, and peppercorns, and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the turtle, chicken, and soy sauce, and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Then turn the heat to high and bring to a full boil. Skim off the foam and add the rice wine. Remove and serve. Melt one stick of butter in a heavy saucepan.

Add flour and cook, stirring frequently, over medium heat until the roux is a light brown. In a 10 quart saucepan, melt remaining butter and add turtle meat, veal and beef. Cook over high heat until meat is brown. Add celery, onions, garlic, bay leaves and oregano and cook until vegetables are transparent. Add tomato puree, hot sauce, Worcestershire and black pepper and simmer for 10 minutes. Add stock and simmer for 30 minutes. Add roux and cook over low heat, stirring until soup is smooth and thickened.

Correct seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Add lemon, eggs, spinach and sherry. Remove from heat and serve. If desired, at the table add one teaspoon of sherry to each soup plate.

In heavy saucepan melt butter. When melted add flour and cook until the flour turns the color of a penny. When roux reaches the desired color add your vegetables and turtle meat and cook until turtle is brown and vegetables are clear. Add the tomato puree and cook for about 15 minutes on low fire. In stock pot simmer beef stock.

While boiling add the mixture from your saucepan and stir until soup is mixed and roux is dissolved. Simmer soup until turtle becomes tender at which time you may add your lemon diced eggs and parsley.

Each plate should be served with a shot of sherry on the side. What a fabulous website! Kudos to you and your contributors. Use the knife. Next, flip the top shell upside down over your chum-bucket and empty out the intestines without cutting them. Keep an eye out for the urinary sac and the gal-bladder, cause if you puncture these, you can spoil the meat. Both of these should be in a sac. Galbladders are normally green, but they can be very difficult to identify in a turtle, so just be suspicious of all sac-like organs attached to the liver.

Dump the intestines. If you want to eat the intestines, you got to squeegie the poop out right away. The urinary sack may be found near the tail, attached to the top shell. May as well leave it there and not try to remove it. Just cut off the meat and other organs you want to eat and put it in the frying pan and brown the outer edges of the meat and enjoy. They smell and appear repulsive, so, identifying it wont be an issue once you get to it.

Getting turtle meat can be a lot of hassle, but, it sure is some of the best tasting meat out there. Some people say you have to boil it, or cook it on low heat for a few hours, or bread it.

Those worms are in magic mushrooms too. Boxturtles eat magic mushrooms and deadly mushrooms. The deadly mushroom are extremely dangerous and deadly. Again, I haven't attempted this--I'm just giving my untested thoughts. I do think it would be a cool project, so feel free to post a pic or make an Instructable about it when you finish! Snapping turtles and other hard shells can be well cleaned by ants.

In Hawaii when we catch or harvest items from the ocean we place them in the sun near an ant hill. In a week it is absolutely picked clean and regards a sea shell bleached near white by the uv from the sun. Turtle shells don't turn shite but the u v does great good in killing microscopic critters and bacteria on and in the shell.

Good idea to separate upper and lower shells first. This works good for many other items that need micro cleaning. Good luck. This is very informative, I'm looking forward to trying this. And to indy dawg, you can't rip the meat off while the animal is alive that would just be cruel. The animal has no idea what will happen of when it happens they can't feel a thing.

Would it be safe to assume they clipped a bladder or other sac and tainted the meat? Reply 6 years ago on Introduction. I had to research and see how you are supposed to kill a turtle for this. My neighbor last night disrupted my sleep I am sick, atm by "hammering " right by my window. I found out this morning he was killing pet store bought turtles, I imagine since catching and disrupting turtles in our area is illegal.

I am debating calling the cops for animal cruelty because the way they killed the turtles, was inhumane death by smashing. I just have a couple points I'd like you to consider. As my brother discovered at the state fair when he was a child and my grandfather took the excited child to see the hogs , "They're just big pigs! Both can be beautiful animals with unique traits what you might call "personality".

Just because many people never interact with cows that aren't wrapped in plastic at the supermarket does not mean that they aren't real animals. If you've never seen chickens, it would be easy to assume that they are annoying.

All that clucking and crowing. What is a person to do? If you've actually had or tended chickens at least those of the free range persuasion , you would probably know how amusing they can be to watch.

Why would people be universally better off eating fish than turtles? If your only reason is that turtles are cute and fish are not, let me be the one to tell you that this is a personal opinion. Many people find fish to be quite adorable, and turtles to be nasty. Put a turtle terrarium in one room, a freshwater aquarium in another. See which stinks first.

Turtles won't seem as cute. If you've never eaten turtle meat, I'm curious to find out why you assume that it would not be as tasty as fish meat. I made sure to state clearly in the introduction that this was about preparing turtles for eating. I mentioned that different, "typical" American food animals can be cute or friendly. That doesn't mean I wouldn't eat them. I do eat most animals.

I've never eaten dog or cat, but that's largely because I've never come across the right restaurant. Kind of like how I like to eat squirrel. Introduction: How to Clean a Turtle.

By upgrading your outdated, worn-out knobs your home will appear more in line with new properties available on the market making it easier to sell. We have a great number of customers that are updating older brass knobs with current favorite styles and finishes.

It's also important to keep in mind that the initial impression bears a great deal of weight. It's well worth investing a little more on your front entrance to obtain a good quality knob set, lever handles or handle set. The feel of a solid and new door knob on the front door provides people with an impression of quality when first entering your home.

Fresh paint and Door Hardware are good updates to make. We've got a wide selection of lower price knobs, solid brass hardware as well as classic locks in numerous styles and finishes to accommodate whatever preference or design you might have in your home.

Make sure you check out our bathroom hardware and accessories as well. There are 4 primary functions designed for certain residential applications. We also supply commercial door knobs, but we'll cover those options for in another article. Typically used on exterior doors or really any door that requires the additional protection of a door lock.

These locking door knobs have a keyed cylinder on the exterior and when locked, require the use of a key for entry. Some keyed entry locks also have a panic release feature where, from the inside, the lock can be deactivated for exit. If a lock does not have this panic release feature, the button must be turned to the unlocked position to disengage the latch mechanism.

If you have a number of keyed locks in your project, we can easily key all locks to use the same key. Privacy door knobs are typically used on bedrooms and bathrooms for privacy. These door knobs have a locking mechanism, but don't have a keyed cylinder on the outside like an exterior lock. Privacy locks are less secure than keyed entry locks simply because you can pick the lock open using the tool furnished with the lock, or a hairpin or paper clip.

This ability to unlock is necessary so you can get access to a room in the event a child locks themselves in or similar circumstances.

Passage locks do not lock. These are typically utilized on hall doors or closets that don't need to be locked, but still require the usefulness of a functioning door knob on the door.

Sometimes passage knobs are utilized on exterior doors where a deadbolt is mounted above. Dummy door knobs are usually surface mounted on the door and don't have a latch mechanism of any type. Dummy door knobs are offered individually or in pairs depending on the brand. My account Sign in Sign up.

Product matched description and photo very nicely. The outlets and switches match our other bronze accessories, and provide a great contrast to the wall color. Very pleased with purchase. I ordered a door knob to ensure that I liked the quality, then when I went back to order 24 more knobs two weeks later, the price had gone up and they were not willing to match the price. I am impressed that your website alerted me to the local inventory status of this knob.

When I called your rep I was told it was on back order and I appreciate the straightforwardness. I shop around a lot for products. The product on your site was significantly cheaper than others, so if I found the product here the likelihood of me purchasing from your site is high. Wonderful so far!

Almost too easy and too good of a price. Makes me a bit nervous. Great price compared to others, saving hundreds, free shipping and no restocking fee. No down side. Ordering was easy and fast. The product matched the sample our cabinet maker had in their selection that we chose from. They are very solid and very nice looking. Very good pricing. Easy site to browse and navigate It was an easy site to browse and navigate, and the switch plates were even prettier in person than on the website.

I was very pleased. Pat McKay. Didn't think I would find the light switch covers I need to match the existing ones in our new house but this site had them and for a lot less then the 1 other site I found them on!

A non-exempt shop will be considered open if it: is unlocked or open for public admission; or sells goods, seeks orders from, or delivers goods to customers. Restricted shop trading for Christmas Day only occurs on 25 December. The Mondayisation of a public holiday for an employee has no effect on shop trading restrictions.

Note that shop trading provisions allowing a bar, cafe or restaurant to open on restricted trading days to sell goods such as food, have no effect on the conditions for the sale and supply of alcohol on these days including Easter Sunday. The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act continues to apply and premises selling and supplying alcohol such as bars, some cafes and restaurants must comply with it.

This means they are not permitted to sell alcohol on restricted trading days unless this is with a meal. Joyce owns a shop a supermarket and employs a large number of staff. Because she wants them to work on Easter Sunday, Joyce must notify the employees of their right to refuse to work at least four weeks and no earlier than eight weeks before Easter Sunday.

If they want to refuse to work, the employees need to notify Joyce no later than 14 days after they get their notices from her.

A Queenstown cafe will be open for business because of a historic exemption and wants one of its employees to help out on Easter Sunday. Historic exemptions that were made under the Shop Trading Hours Act remain valid; therefore a shop covered by an exemption, can still open on Easter Sunday even in a district without a local policy. Shop employees now have the right to refuse to work on Easter Sunday and therefore the employer must notify the employee of this right at least four weeks and no earlier than eight weeks before Easter Sunday.

If they do want to refuse, the employee has to notify the employer no later than 14 days after they get the notice from the employer. Geri works in a service station and her employer Greg asks her to work on Easter Sunday. Six weeks before Easter Sunday, Greg gives Geri notice that she can refuse to work.

Greg is treating Geri adversely because of her refusal to work on Easter Sunday and Geri successfully brings a personal grievance claim against Greg. Five weeks before Easter Sunday Hilary was emailed by her employer at the dairy where she works, asking her to work on Easter Sunday.

This email also notified Hilary of her right to refuse work on Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday is not a public holiday so Hilary will be paid her usual pay for working on a Sunday unless Hilary and her employer agree to a greater rate of pay for this day.

Hilary will not get an alternative holiday, because Easter Sunday is not a public holiday. Linda work in a plastics factory assembling goods. Lyn and Tony work for Keith who runs the local dairy. They both have set days and hours. The local supermarket will be closed in the morning due to restricted shop trading, and Keith thinks it will be a busy day so he asks Lyn if she can help out Tony and come into work.

Because of this, if Lyn works on the Sunday, she will receive her normal pay for working a Sunday and will not get an alternative holiday. She still gets Monday off on full pay because her ANZAC Day is Mondayised or if she works on Monday, she will be paid time and a half for the hours worked and will get an alternative holiday.

Tony normally works on a Sunday so ANZAC Day is not Mondayised and he receives his eight hours pay at time and a half for working Sunday and also receives an alternative holiday. The restricted shop trading days have no effect on Mondayisation. Hana also works for Fiona, but only on Saturday and Sunday. This year Christmas Day falls on a Saturday. Fiona can open the shop on Monday 27th December. This means that Isobel has Monday the 27th December as her Christmas Day public holiday and she will have a paid day off work on Monday.

If Isobel works on the Monday, she will be paid time and a half and will be entitled to an alternative holiday because Christmas Day is Mondayised for her.
