Anthro 105: 01/23/11 – Class Notes
Read chapter 12 for Weds. X-Linked Hemophilia Gene is located on the X-chromosome, thus males and females are affected differently. Females = XX Males = XY Hemophiliac Male (XhY) – only 1 X-Chromesome with recessive gene causes disorder. Hemophiliac Female (XhXh) – both X’s must carry the recessive gene. A male hemophiliac cannot pass the gene to his son, only his daughter as he only passes on the Y to his sons. Polygenetic Inheritance Two or more genes contribute to the phenotypic expression of a single characteristic These traits show gradations, there is a series of measurable intermediate forms between two extremes. Hair, eye and skin color are polygenetic traits. Traits can be influenced by your environment. Regulatory genes: can...
Optoma HD70 Color Wheel Trouble
I was watching an old episode of Dexter the other day (I know, I’m late to the party) and my projector (an Optoma HD70) image became an off color for just a second, but most alarmingly started to make a terrible buzzing/whirring/grinding noise, almost like a bad computer fan. There are a couple of high volume brushless DC (computer) fans inside there, so I knew it was possible that one had thrown a vane. Since the HD-70 is a DLP projector it uses a complex set of mirrors to reflect the image through a color wheel in order to get the correct colors displayed in the image. The color wheel in the HD70 is seven segments. I believe that it is ordered red, green blue, white, red, grean, blue. When I heard the noise I shut the projector down as quickly as I could,...
Carne Asada From Scratch
Oh boy! I’ve been waiting (who knows why) to make this for a long time. Without further ado; carne asada. I ended up doing a ton of research before making this dish. I wanted a reasonably authentic taste (Safeway-brand taco seasoning? No thanks), and it is surprisingly hard to find authentic Mexican recipes. I synthesized about 5 recipes to get the ingredient list I have here. Carne Asada (literally translated “roasted meat”) is a very popular dish in Northern Mexico (and in the Southwestern USA). Carne Asada is synonymous with a social BBQ here in the USA. Check out the Wikipedia entry for it here. Ingredients: 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro (chopped, remove large stems) 1 Tbsp. freshly ground black pepper 1 1/2 Tbsp. sea salt 1 Tbsp. Cumin 1 Tbsp....
Dinner Preview: Carne Asada
Just a quick preview of tonight’s dinner: Carne Asada! I had better take a few more pictures tonight, or this preview may be the only view you get. See you later!
Phanaeng (Panang) Curry with Chicken
I love the way a recipe can get passed a long, it leads to foods sweeping an entire region (sometimes an entire country) in the blink of an eye. This recipe came to my by way of my little sister, Hannah. Phanaeng curry originates from the Phanaeng Islands which are part of Malaysia. I won’t be posting the recipe here, you’ll have to click the link above and visit Hannah’s blog to find it. When Hannah passed the recipe on to me, she recommend Aroy D curry paste and canned coconut milk of the same brand. My Thoughts: This was a great dish, and my first attempt at making my own Thai food (which I love to eat). I think that I could clean up my methods, now that I know how to make it, and end up with something a little more refined. Overall I loved...
Goodbye Boxee, and Good Riddance!
Initially, I loved Boxee. It was the cat’s meow in terms of media management, and media playback. As someone who has ripped (and re-encoded) 200+ DVDs more than once, it was a welcome relief to have software to pull together album art, names, synopses, etc. I always found the interface less than desirable, and never understood the ‘social’ aspect of it (still don’t), but it made my life a lot easier. Then came the whispers (and eventual announcement and release) of dedicated Boxee hardware; the Boxee box. That was when things started going wrong. Because of the semi-secretive development of the Boxee Box and its feature set, the PC version’s continued development suffered. Prior to the announcement/leak that there would be a Boxee...
Pizza Margherita
Once in a while I have a good idea. This pizza was definitely a golden moment for me. When I was younger my family travelled abroad and I ordered this pizza in a lot of different countries. Rarely have I seen it in the United States. I know California Pizza Kitchen makes a Margherita pizza, but its not on the menu a lot of places I would expect to find it. Pizza Margherita has a pretty illustrious history, as far as pizzas go. In 1889, Queen Margherita was taking a tour of the Italian Kingdom with her husband Umberto I, and she noticed the people eating a large flat bread with toppings. The curious queen ordered her guards to bring her a pizza. She loved it, and caused quite a stir in the court by going out to eat it amongst the peasants. To resolve the issue of...
