Experience with portable induction cooktop?
- r
- redbeanbun Jan 23, 2011 12:50 PM
Greetings Chowhounders!
I've been looking into a portable induction cooktop unit for a while but the picture isn't much clearer to me. There's a wide range of prices from $70 on amazon.com to $600 on Williams-Sonoma. I've downloaded manuals on a range of units, compared watts, # of temperature settings, range of temperature settings, weight, and other "features" but still am unclear on the range of prices.
If you have experience with a portable induction cooktop, can you please share and enlighten me? I'm interested in these questions:
1) Are there any benefits to knobs vs. push buttons for settings control?
2) Which of the "features" are useful, and which are just frivolous? For example, my microwave has lots of buttons and settings but the only buttons i use are "Minute Start" and "Stop."
3) Do you really get a better quality unit at the higher price range? Do they cook better? Last longer? Have a larger diameter of actual cooking surface? Look prettier? Have better warranties?
4) Is there something else I forgot to consider?
These are electronic devices, with nothing mechanical except the cooling fan. So there is no advantage to a power knob as opposed to buttons or a touch panel - unless you just prefer turning a knob.
You do want multiple power settings, just as your stove has simmer, low ... high. This is an alternative to the cook stove, not the microwave. Sometimes you want to boil water as fast as possible, other times you want to simmer.
Some burners have temperature controls, which may not be all that effective. There's a sensor just under the cook surface, so it does not actually sense the temperature of the food. This sensor might be more effective at protecting the burner itself from overheating.
A timer can be convenient, especially if you do braising. It's nice to know it will turn itself after 2hours, even if you forget.
Heat is generated in the pan by a coil under the cook surface. It is hard to say just how large this coil is. On one unit that I recently took apart, the coil had an outer diameter of 7". I suspect most 120v units are about the same. More expensive cooktops apparently have multiple coils and can handle are wider range of pan sizes. The best way to get even heating is to use an induction compatible cast aluminum pan.
Does the manual say anything about what happens when you remove the pan from the burner? The inexpensive one I have used beeps and shuts itself off. I've read that expensive stove tops, let you remove the pan briefly without interrupting power, or restore the power settings that it remembered you had. I don't know what $400 portable units do. In case, stirring the food by flipping the pan does not work as well on an induction burner.
Warranties are something you'll have to read about from the manufacturer or retailer. Durability is a big unknown. My inexpensive unit just blew a capacitor after 5yrs, apparently the same kind that often has to be replaced on ceiling fans. There's no guarantee that $400 unit won't do the same!
re: paulj
i'm actually surprised that the coil is only 7". Do you find it sufficient? What is the widest diameter pan you use on it?
i think even some of the inexpensive models mention a 1-2 minute buffer before turning off if you remove the pan. It's a good thing to keep in mind. Thanks!
re: redbeanbun
The smallest diameter was about 4-5". A 10" cast iron skillet fits, but does have a distinct 'hot spot' ring about 6" in diameter. On the other hand a 10" cast aluminum skillet (with steel insert in the base) heats quite evenly. A 6qt Fagor pressure cooker also worked nicely on it (multilayer ss).
On another thread I looked at a $400 WS burner. Stated width was 12", and from the picture we estimated that the circle marked on the surface was about 9". As long as the pan does not overlap the controls it will work, but I'm pretty sure all the heat is generated inside that 9" circle.
I have three portable induction cookers, the oldest one (Zojirushi) is about 10 or 15 years old and the newest ones (Panasonic) are about 2 years old. They have all been perfectly reliable.
I'd probably buy a name brand (Panasonic, Zojirushi, Toshiba, Hitachi, Mitsubishi, etc.) rather than a cheap Chinese unit with a name you've never heard of, but that may just be my prejudice as a consumer living in Japan.
I prefer push buttons to knobs because they are usually sealed against the entry of liquids and are easier to clean. Of course, the more heat levels the better.
A good feature is for the "auto off" function when you lift the pot to resume at the same temperature when you put the pot back.
Another good feature is direct temperature input, so you can set the desired target temperature as a digital value. This is useful for deep frying.
A cutoff timer is a good safety feature.
As a minor point, I prefer a power cord that detaches at both ends.
Good luck finding a nice unit!
re: tanuki soup
I wonder if any these brands are available outside of Japan (or Asia). A web search shows lots of Zojirushi induction rice cookers, but no hot plates.
re: paulj
My bad. Here's a link to "ih ホットプレート" (IH hotplate) at Amazon Japan (hope the Japanese characters display okay):
Pretty much all the big Japanese electronics manufacturers offer induction hotplates for the domestic market.
But not one is available in the US based on a search for "induction hotplate" at Amazon US:
re: tanuki soup
One of the 700w units reminds me of hot plate that I've seen at HMart, a New Jersey based Korean grocery chain. However the HMart one is labeled entirely in Chinese, with nothing saying 'induction' in English. But what I could see of the electronics through the cooling vents looked like induction.
re: redbeanbun
The only brand I've seen at 99Ranch is Tautung (best price for that brand is at Newegg)
re: tanuki soup
Tanuki soup: i never thought about the power cord. What's the benefit of removing the power cord? Connivence for cleaning and storing?
I certainly never came across Zo or any of the other big-name brands you listed during my research tho if i did, i probably wouldn't need to do much research. I have two Zo appliances and they're holding up well to heavy use. They're not available in the US at the typical vendors but it does give me an idea. I'll have to check around at our local asian markets which often carry the asian brands of appliances. Downside would be that not all of them come with manuals in English. :)
*thank you*
re: redbeanbun
"What's the benefit of removing the power cord? Convenience for cleaning and storing?"
Yup. In addition, since we're talking about a portable unit, there is less chance of tripping over the cord when carrying it around. Induction hotplates are also great for keeping food warm on the tabletop, either for serving or for communal dishes like Japanese nabe. The ability to unplug the cord at the hotplate end minimizes the risk of knocking things over with the cord.
re: tanuki soup
excellent. i was thinking of using it primarily outdoors on our 2nd floor deck but was hoping it can double duty on the dinning room table precisely for keeping food warm or as a substitute for hot pot (fire pot? pardon my poor translation).
I've cooked on several and own a Eurodib commercial grade unit. Based on my experience, one factor I should have considered but didn't was the noise from the fan. I love my unit but the fan sure is noisy. I purchased mine at a significant discount from the MSR by shopping at a restaurant supply store.
re: Breadcrumbs
Fan noise is something you only learn about in the user reviews. The electronics that drives the induction coil are going to generate some heat, and need to be cooled. Think of a computer with a 200w power supply. An induction burner is consuming 1800w. Most of that is 'dissipated' in the pan, but some needs to be blown away.
re: redbeanbun
Be assured, I wouldn't have taken the time to respond to your enquiry had this been a non-issue.
re: Breadcrumbs
gotcha. the noise range is greater than annoyance and more in the range of "what the hell??"
how long does the fan typically run after it's turned off?
re: redbeanbun
In my experience, sometimes the fan turns off right away, other times, it runs 30sec or so; longer if the unit has been running a while.
Volume of the fan may vary with the model. My Tautung was louder than a desktop computer, but not as loud as the vent over the stove. It was fine in the kitchen, but more than I would like at the dining table. For table use I prefer the butane burner.
More expensive units might use a more expensive, quieter fan, and better designed air flow, but there's no guarantee that that is the case.
I bought a Eurodib 1600 watt and have used it daily for a year. It allows me to remove and shake the pan for about two seconds without losing its setting. I really like it, but the circle of heat is rather small.
I just got a Salton 1500 watt from Costco (only $75 with a casserole type pot), and the induction circle seems to be larger (8.5" vs 7"). I only used it once, and it blew the circuit breaker, with a few other things on (lights, computer, TV) where the Eurodib never did this. I'll have to watch how I use this one!
I just got rid of my range (single guy, retired) so I am happy to get by with two induction burners, a Waring convection oven, and the usual microwave. It is nice to be able to put the induction burners into a cupboard for storage. Modular cooking appeals to me.
With the range gone, I have a 220 volt outlet available, but have not been able to find an induction burner that will feed from this. There are burners with European 220 v. plugs, but can I adapt this to the North American 220v outlet?
re: jayt90
there is! this one!
i've been eyeing this - more power is better, yes?? regardless of whether we need more power...
i don't have an outlet to support 220v tho.
re: redbeanbun
If you want more than 1500 - 1800 w power, 220v is the way to go. Max Burton seems to have one better reputations, at least among brands available in the USA. I have MB 6000 on backorder.
Notice that the commercial unit is much thicker than the 120v units (5" v 2.5").
There is also a 1800w 120v MB in this heavier case.
We've had an inexpensive "off-brand" table top induction burner for about 6 years, purchased on sale at Kam Man (Chinese chain grocery/home goods) for around $60. It stood up well for the first five years, but now some of the controls, lowering power specifically, are not responding, but this can be worked around using the temp settings, and the burner still works just fine at both lower and higher settings.
We mainly use it with the pot it came with for Chinese style hot pot, and less frequently with a cast iron pan for quick table top cooking, and very occassionally as an extra burner for a party type meal.
For the amount that we use it (maybe 20+ time a year), I'll probably replace it with a similar unit when the time comes. If I were going to use it for more "real" cooking or more often than once a week, I'd probably look at the expensive models.
220 will definitely give you more power, but one of the things I really like about our 110 is being able to plug it in to any standard (in this case U.S.) outlet, it way ups the flexibility of use for us.
Our only cooking surface is a 110v Fagor portable induction hob. It was under $200 on Amazon. We love it, and so far it has done everything we've wanted. We use enamel cast iron, copper core stainless, etc on it. We make one-pot boeuf bourguignon on it, letting it cook for 2.5 hours. Never have to adjust the heat. I move it to the middle of the table for Swiss fondue; works much better than gel fuel.
1. In general (ovens, washing machines, etc), I prefer knobs to touch pads, but it's far from a deal breaker. Our hob has a touch pad. Once in a while, I have to push twice if I hit it off-center or too fast the first time. Not a big deal... and probably wouldn't happen if I weren't always multitasking but instead actually paid attention to what I'm doing. :-)
2. If you have kids, a locking safety button might keep them from turning it on by accident. (Even so, to hurt themselves, they'd have to put a pan on it, let it heat up, and touch the hot pan.) Otherwise, On/Off and temperature controls do the trick.
3. Since this was a temporary purchase to use doing restoration work, we didn't want to spend much and therefore didn't look at the more expensive models. However, we've grown to love this so much, we will always use it for fondue, as a hotplate for buffets, extra burner when cooking for the masses, etc. Also, 220v was not an option for us (the makeshift kitchen is in a parlor) so we were limited to 110v models.
4. Noise. As you've read, some people have units w/ loud fans. I don't think the Fagor's fan is worse than a microwave, convection oven, or air filter system on our central heat & air.
A couple of my new pans had slick bottoms, and if I stirred vigorously the slick bottom slid a little on the slick glass top. Put a small octagonal Silpat under the pan -- problem solved!
Hope that helps.
re: KansasKate
I initially purchased: http://www.amazon.com/1800-Watt-Porta...
but I just returned becaus it ended up only heat 4" of the pan in a distinct ring.
I just bought http://www.amazon.com/Max-Burton-6000...
It still has a distince heat ring, but this one is 6" with a small hole in the middle, just like a doughnut. I do find it heats more evenly than my previous unit.
With both units I was disappointed that my cast iron skillets actually worked better on my electric range. By work better I mean that the heat is much more even on the electric range. I made some brussel sprouts in a 10" cast iron pan on the induction unit and ended up burning some of them due to the hot spot in the center of the pan.
Regarding the fan noise, sure you can hear, but it's nothing worse than running the microwave at least on the two cooktops I've used.
I'm not debating buying a $99 10" All Clad D5 pan for use with my induction cooktop.
re: Rick
All of the pans that I like using on my Max Burton (and the Tautung before that) have a 7" diameter base or smaller. That includes a 3qt Chantal SS dutch oven, a 6qt Fagor pressure cooker, a 22cm steel crepe pan, a 9.5 carbon steel Lyonaise fry pan, and a 9" cast aluminum fry pan.
While I may use power setting of 5 or higher for bringing water to a boil, I do most cooking at levels 1 and 2.
As a result of the distinct heating ring on cast iron I don't use it on the induction burner. These days I mainly use the 10" cast iron skillet as an oven pan - e.g. oven frying fish steaks etc. I don't like the idea of using an induction burner to heat a cast iron pan to 500+ deg. The Tautung used to shut itself off if the pan got too hot; I haven't pushed the MB to that point yet.
re: paulj
I've been wanting the 22cm De Buyer carbon steel crepe pan and after reading your post I finally bought one last night. I did the potatoe peel think, rubbed it with oil etc. Tried to fry some eggs this morning and they stuck really bad. I was a bit disappointed, though they are a lot easier to clean than my lodge cast iron. Great feeling pan, hope I can get it to work well for me.
I've just moved to China for a job, and everybody uses induction cooktops. I've cooked on them several times while i've been in China, but i'm still not completely sure how to use them.
I'm not sure how many people have Chinese induction cooktops but there are a bunch of different presets. What exactly do all of the settings do? There's definitely one that warms milk, and a hotpot setting, and four other presets, but i don't understand what these are for! Shouldn't i be able to just set the temperature and then heat food? Can somebody please explain how there preset options are used? Is setting it to "hotpot" any different than just setting the temperature to a low simmer, or is this just for paint-by-numbers cooks?
Confused in China
re: flibbertygibbet
I had one like that (Tautung brand; I say had because a capacitor blew after 5yrs of use). I did not make much use of the 'modes', instead just chose a power setting, and occasionally a time. It's temperature mode did not seem to work.
'Boil' seemed to be the same as highest-power, but it wouldn't let me lower the power. I think 'stir fry' was the same as boil, 'hot pot' more of a simmer, 'congee' the lowest, etc.
I now have a Max Burton, probably made in China, but with more straightforward controls. I can set power (10 levels) or temperature (and time). The temperature reading is taken under the glass top, so appears to be 20F lower than the contents of the pan.
re: paulj
I may be late responding, or offer very little, but thought I'd add my $.02.
I bought one from Walmart, which I had a gift card for, and wanted to see what induction was about. For the $50 I paid for my unit, I'm glad I did.
This is the unit I purchased:
For the price, I'm very happy with it. It's slightly-above/above average quality. The knob is solid on my unit, and the few push buttons are solid as well. Nothing flimsy. The fan can be a little noisy, but overall doesn't bother me one bit.
I do not find any noticeable "hot spots" on SS, likewise, there is a noticeable hot spot with cast iron, but I don't use cast iron indoors much - I use it on the grill more often. So that's not an issue for me either.
Features I like - Cooking by temp, instead of power. I feel it offers a bit more control. On my unit, just scroll the wheel/knob to the left or right. For example, it starts at 160, goes to 180, then 210, 250, 290, 320, 350, 390 and 430.
Has a good built in timer, and shuts unit off when timer expires. I like that it shuts the unit off, if I'm making something that I have to step away and don't want it to burn, but other times, I wish the unit would stay on, and the timer just go off.
Only thing I'd look for in a more expensive unit, aside from looks, since that's subjective, is a larger cooking coil, and a better warranty. For the price I paid for my unit, if it lasts me a few years, I'd be more than happy. And I'm probably going to pick up a second unit, and cook on the two induction burners since the stove we have is very old. And very rarely am I cooking on more than two burners anyways.
re: dcole
I have 20amp circuits, and haven't tripped a breaker yet. Initially I was cautious about running both the microwave and induction burner, but haven't a problem.
120v * 20 amp = 2400 w. The max power that I've seen with portable 120v units is 1800w, so there is 600w buffer. Plus I rarely use full power. 1300w is plenty most of the time.
re: dcole
How old is your apartment building? Is there a circuit breaker panel in your unit, or are the fuses all together in some dark corner of basement?
My building is 20 yrs old, and there is nothing unusual about it's electrical wiring.
Also, some older electric stoves have 120v outlets on the panel, which has its own breaker.
re: paulj
If you want a modular kitchen, no range, and maybe an energy efficient small fridge and another efficient small freezer, you will really have to spread out the functions over two or three circuits.
This is what I did when i got rid of my range and large fridge.
The kitchen area has a small freezer, a small refrigerator, a Waring Pro convection oven, and an induction burner. I have gained a lot of counter space, and freedom to cook for 1 or 2 persons.
However, the second induction burner is in the next room (dining) because the circuits will not support everything in the kitchen.
In a small apt. size kitchen, you might want to go modular (those burners can go in to a cupboard for storage, and you will save floor space), but the circuits will have to be spread out. The math is not hard to do, as paulj explains.
Hi everyone, thanks for all the information and advice - it was more than I could find anywhere else. Although I tried to keep everything in mind during my search, it seems like our choices in the US are fairly limited compared to Asia and Europe. I finally settled on a BergHOFF model. The most difficult part was the lack of specifications on each of the models out there. So here is some info on the BergHOFF portable induction unit.
Power: 1600W, 120V
Temp: range 150-450F, 10 settings at 30degree intervals
Timer: up to 150 min, increase by 10, decrease by 1 min intervals
Auto shut-off: 5 seconds when pan removed from surface, 1 beep for each second
Heat diameter: Approximately 6 inches via burn test with one 10" SS tri-ply skillet though I didn't open the case to verify since some of the screw holes are covered with stickers (probably for warranty purposes).
I wish the temp increments were smaller say 10degree intervals, or even better, worked like the Timer function. Thirty degree intervals is a little too hard to achieve a simmer in smaller volumes. It seems like it's a typical temp range and intervals for models available in the US though.
The fan noise didn't seem too bad but I downloaded an iPhone app just to get a relative idea of noise level (yes, there seems to be an app for that too). Here's what I found (avg dB):
background = 47
background with fridge running = 60
background with A/C running = 55-60
tv at volume 20 = 62
stove overhead fan with the iphone mic shoved up against the fan = 96
berghoff with the iphone mic shoved up against the unit = 84
berghoff with the iPhone mic at my ear level = 64
The fan turns off right away but the longest I've had it running was to boil pasta.
Oddly enough, the only thing I can't provide is a model number as there doesn't seem to be one on the box or instruction manual. It doesn't help because it seems that there's an identical model out there with different power requirements.
re: redbeanbun
I can recommend the Vollrath Mirage Pro. A little more than the usual units from China, but, beautiful to look at. Convenient on the countertop. Quiet. Very flexible, EASY control. Relative temps with a control knob with about 20 steps between chocolate melting low 90 degrees and frying 340 with 14 more steps above. VERY QUIET. ( I also have had 2 brands of the inexpensive Chinese cookers that I no longer use.) The control circuitry is different. The difference accounts for the noise in the inexpensive Chinese units which may use comparators which hunt for the control point causing they noise as they swing freqency, not microprossessor algorithms as in the higher end units. The Vollrath is a better design with respect to noise and very flexible control, both temp and power settings. Temp number indication is relative so you can go quickly from low to high with the knob. Very efficient design means amazingly little turn on to cook time. Great if you like a knob to control. They also have a model that works with up down buttons. Good warrantee 2 yr. Great customer service, unusual these days. Works well in my 30 year old appartment kitchen. Has about a 6 inch heat circle judging from the bubbles in the bottom of the pan at boil. Commercial quality, but easily used at home. (International cooking is my hobby.)

The New, Grownup Way to Pack Your Lunch
Studies show brown-bagging your midday meal is a key weight-loss trick, but that hardly means eating another boring salad. Just Bento founder Makiko Itoh's nine recipes are better than anything you have to step outside to buy.
By Ava Feuer
Chana dal with almonds
"Indian cuisine is a great source of inspiration for take-along lunches since many dishes can stand for a while," says Itoh. Chana dal, which looks like yellow split peas, and is actually comparable to chickpeas, is available at most Asian grocery and health-food stores. The vegan, gluten-free meal incorporates slivered almonds for an ideal mix of healthy fats and fiber.

A 23-year-old Indian was killed and six other Indians including two children, were injured in a wave of coordinated bombings and gun attacks by an Islamic sect that left at least 162 people dead in northern Nigeria's largest city of Kano.
Kevalkumar Kalidas Rajput from Dahod in Gujarat, who worked for Kano-based firm M/s Relchem, was among those killed in Friday's deadly attacks, a statement issued by the High Commission of India in Nigeria said on Saturday.It said Rajput and two of his co-employees from Nepal, Hari Prasad Bhusal and Raj Singh, lost their lives when their car entered a zone of hostilities.
The High Commission said six other Indian nationals, including two small children, belonging to two families have received injuries from falling shrapnel and debris and are being treated in Kano hospitals.
On Friday, militants shot at residents and security personnel and bombed security services offices in Kano, the second most populated city in Nigeria.
In New Delhi, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna condemned the deadly attacks in Kano and regretted the 'unfortunate" loss of life. The families of the Indian killed and those injured in the attacks have been contacted by authorities.
At least 162 people were killed and several others injured when militants launched a series of coordinated bomb attacks targeting police stations and the headquarters of Nigeria's secret police in the Muslim dominated northern city of Kano.
Rabiu Kwankwaso, the governor of Kano State, imposed a 24-hour curfew after the bodies, including those of several policemen, were found scattered all over the the state capital, Nigeria's second—largest city, which exploded into violence since yesterday.
According to a media report, a purported spokesman for Islamist group Boko Haram had claimed responsibility for the violence, saying it was in response to Nigerian authorities' refusal to release its members from custody.
Hospital sources said the death toll in the bombings and shootings that rocked Kano surged to 162 even as the country's police authorities hesitated in giving casualty figure.
A doctor at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital said dead bodies and some wounded people were brought to the hospital.
According to him some of the injured persons were foreigners, including Indians who live close to the SSS headquarters.
A hospital worker who craved for anonymity disclosed this stating that dead bodies were piling up in a mortuary at Murtala Muhammed Specialist Hospital in Kano.
He added that the number of the dead may increase because more bodies are being brought in from different parts of the city.
An official of the Red Cross, Nwakpa O Nwakpa said his aid agency is still collecting the bodies of the dead and injured and taking them to emergency units of some hospitals or mortuaries.
Later, a spokesman of Islamic fundamentalist group, Boko Haram, Abul Qaqa said his group is responsible for the attacks.
According to him, the government has refused to release members of the group held at various prisons in Kano, hence the attack.
The police are yet to come up with an official record and calls made to the spokesman, Olusola Amore were not picked.
Authorities in the oil rich African country are known to downplay death tolls during terror attacks and emergencies.
The governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso has imposed a 24 hour curfew after bodies were found scattered all over the commercial city which doubles as the state capital.
Military men are seen putting up check points at various parts of the city.
Authorities said militants, some of whom came as suicide bombers, targeted four police stations; the headquarters of the country's secret police, state security service (SSS) in Kano state and an immigration office.
A police source said he is yet to confirm the nationality of few dead persons confirmed to be foreigners.
The bombings which numbered up to twenty caused pandemonium in the metropolis and were followed by shoot—outs between the militants and security agencies especially at the eastern Bompai district of the city.
Residents who heard the sound of the bombs with smokes billowing out of the police building scampered for safety.
"Some policemen who survived the attack were seen at the premises of Zone one police station dirtied with dusts from the rubble while the dismembered body of a suicide bomber lay at the premises," a witness told PTI.

Apple airs new holiday ad 'Misunderstood' featuring iPhone 5s and more
Apple has kept with its annual tradition of airing a seasonal ad featuring Apple devices in holiday settings. Last night, the company's 2013 holiday ad aired; it's 90 seconds long, noticeably longer than most TV spots. It's set to the tune of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and shows a family gathering for the holiday.
We won't spoil the emotional twist of the ad, but the title -- combined with early scenes of a teenage boy who seems to be distancing himself from the celebrations around him by burying his nose in his iPhone -- may give you a hint where this is going.
You can check out Apple's annual tearjerker below.
Note that the "film within the ad," shot entirely on the iPhone 5s, is also posted to YouTube and embedded for your viewing pleasure.

Same Man I Was Before Lyrics - Oingo Boingo
I'm not the same man I was before
I haven't changed my perception
I haven't lost my protection
I haven't lost, haven't lost, haven't lost
What I have, lost intentions
Two by two coming through the door
(Singing like a bird)
Boys and girls voices joined in song
(Voices in the air)
Fire crackers making so much noise
(Flying in the air)
They all start yelling at me
. . . . . Everything you do is wrong
I'm not the same boy I was before
But I've not changed my desires
I've not extinguished the fires
I haven't lost wide eyed wonder
I haven't lost, haven't lost, haven't lost
The stupid fear of thunder
Two by two walking hand in hand
(Walkin' in the air)
The bone come marching from the promised land
(Comes from everywhere)
Their voices carry like the sound of glass
(Breaking on the ground)
It burns my ears when they sing
. . . . . Everything you do is wrong
I'm not the same ghost I was before
But I still converse with the spirits
When people talk I don't hear it
I walk through doors when no one sees me
I disappear, I disappear, disappear
Whenever it may please me

Did you know that Long Island has a large carnival operation? Until a friend of mine called my attention to Newton Shows, headquartered in East Northport, I had no idea. The family run business does amazing work with not-for-profit organizations throughout Queens, Nassau and Suffolk. And they have done it for over 60 years!
Let me explain just what they do. If you are a not-for-profit organization, Rotary, Chamber of Commerce, Church, Lions Club, Kiwanis Club, school or some form of social service agency, Newton Shows will partner with you and help raise money for your organization. Newton Shows comes to your site and can set up over 50 rides, and games along with other attractions for family fun. Over the years, they have partnered with over one thousand organizations to help raise funds for good purposes.
Looking ahead, here are just a few of the organizations Newton Shows will be working with in July and August – The Merrick Fire Department, St. Rose of Lima School Annual Family Festival, Italian American Citizens Club and Nassau County at Christopher Morley Park.
The Newton Shows work with their partner in every respect. They help in the planning of events and also work with you on promoting the event. On their website, Newton Shows state, P.T. Barnum said it best, "Without promotion something terrible happens – Nothing." In addition, they offer diversity in the size of events they stage. From fireworks to shows for children, they really do produce pure fun and fantasy.
Another feature Newton Shows offers is public relations support so that your event will leave a safe and lasting positive impact in the community. With very happy people leaving the fairgrounds, the word does spread quickly.
On the Newton shows website – www.NewtonShows.com – you can find much detail about this organization and other places you could see the show in real time action. I particularly enjoyed the video which explained the history of Newton Shows and several endorsements which were very sincere.
Again, I have to say that I was amazed as I explored the website. It was very professional and informative. I urge you to take a look when you have a chance. The family fun is clear. And Mike Newton told me, "Our customers look to us to provide safe, wholesome family fun outdoors. Starting with our Dad, Lewis, fun has been a Newton family tradition."
If you would like to contact Newton Shows directly, just call (631) 499-6824.

Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Glow-Boosting Pressed Powder Reviews
Perfect bronze colorI have this in the loose powder, and I love it!! I use it on my shoulders, decollete, and neck when I am wearing a dress or tank. It is deep enough for my tanned skin, and blends in beautifully and looks very natural. I wouldn't use the one I have on my face, just because the brush is very big. But that makes it perfect for larger areas of the body! Love it! — 5 years, 7 months agoleelu | 354 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful
Beautiful Glow!This bronzer is gorgeous, especially when you have a bit of a tan. It gives a nice sun-kissed glow. I've used it to contour, and as an overall pick me up around my face, and in both cases it works beautifully. I would recommend this! — 8 months, 2 weeks agokdevoe814 | 12 reviews
Wonderful!!!!I get so many compliments on my "glowing" skin & I know that its all due to this bronzer! I was under the impression that on my skin tone bronzer wasn't a product I needed but Ulta was having a sale (darn you Ulta & your sales!!!) so I picked this up. I love that it isn't sparkly, I'm 23 I don't want to walk around glittering all the time but this just gives my skin this wonderful finish. As long as they make this bronzer I'll be a life long user! — 2 years, 5 months agoHappyGoWifey | 24 reviews
Best Matte Drugstore BronzerThis is a back-of-the-stash product that I found as I was organizing my set-up. Physician's Formula Bronze Booster promises a moisturizing, vitamin filled golden glow that will last all day and give you an easily buildable bronze. I don't know about vitamin filled, bit I would say it delivers on all other claims. One of the great things about the bronzers in this series is that they are perfectly...read more matte which makes them great for contouring. Most people think bronzing and contour are synonymous, but they most definitely are not. Most "bronzers" are used to add depth under the cheek bones and up into the temples so a little shimmer - or a lot as most have - isn't so bad. If, however, you are trying to contour or define the sides of your nose, create a natural looking eye crease, or add depth under your eyebrows, a shimmery powder will make your contouring work look fake. That's why this little guy is an asset. Let's talk about quality, now. This bronzer is smooth and, surprisingly, not chalky for being a matte bronzer. The only problem I encountered with it, hence why it ended up at the back of my stash, is that it wasn't dark enough for me. I know, I can't believe I typed those words in that order either, but it's true. Too light for me. While it is buildable, the amount I would have to build it to make it noticable would have made it the same shade, just more opaque and not natural by any means. The wear time is great as well. I didn't put it through rigorous testing, but for average wear around the house, on errands, etc., it stayed put! Perhaps it will find its way back in my beauty routine this winter, but for now it rests at the back of my collection. Verdict: This is a great matte drug store bronzer, and I highly recommend it if you need a contour powder. Just make sure you get your shade! — 2 years, 9 months agobailey_brown | 5 reviews
Favorite BronzerThis is the best bronzer I've ever tried! I have oily/combination skin and the shimmer doesn't make me look shiny. Great, natural color--i have fair skin with blue undertones and I never look orange with this product. I'm 20 and I have bought this bronzer for 3 years now, only one I trust. Highly recommended — 2 years, 11 months agosupersaverteen | 8 reviews

Yay!I bought this as a bronzer than ended up using it as my foundation because it maches my skin and i have to say that I love it!! it is soo beautiful and gives me just the right amoimt of coverage — 3 years agobearzz11 | 2 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
Nice ColorThis is really nice for overall color, i have really fair skin and look like I tanned naturally with this on. Biggest complaint: if you have combo skin it can give you a shine four hours into wear. keep in mind that i'm trying this in winter, not a big sweat season... so i dont imagine this will hold up in summer season. like the previous review said it will last a long long time. keep blotting sheets with you!!! — 3 years, 8 months agoalysa914 | 2 reviews
Bronzey!This bronzer has to be one of my favorites...it last soooo long..ive had it for about 1 1/2 years now...the only downside is that if you want to look really bronzey (my inspiration JLO) you kinda have to pile this on and it has shimmers so its not really good for conturing (for conturing i suggest NYC bronzer its really matte)...but overall good for everyday! — 3 years, 11 months agoJuicyHeart13 | 46 reviews
Natural Glow :)I can understand why ppl have been complaining about the shimmer but it does not bother me at all. to be honest I don't even notice, it is so subtle and tiny, that it gives your skin a glow without looking like you have sparkles on your face. I love love love the packaging, I have had ppl ask me what I'm using when I touch up in public because the packaging looks so chic :) and I'm happy it comes ...read morewith a mirror. Beware of the brush tho, it can make the powder look splotchy on your face. so instead use your own professional bronzer or powder brush. I also love how the colour is buildable and not too dark. I have very light golden-undertoned skin and the shade light-medium works for me. for the summer I will be trying medium-dark to add contour on my cheekbones, but for now this will do :) will repurchase again & again. — 4 years, 10 months agojaejae_121 | 37 reviews
GREAT! EXCEPT FOR THE glitter :(This product would be amazing if it was matte, overall it is great-no streaking, or orangish glow. It is very natural-except for the glitter.... I don't think I would repurchase — 4 years, 12 months agoorianadaly | 18 reviews

OSU, UP students join national efficiency competition
Send this to a friend
- Christina Williams
- Sustainable Business Oregon editor- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Students at the University of Portland and Oregon State University are joining a national competition this month, going head to to head with students at schools around the country to reduce their electricity and water use.
The Campus Conservation Nationals competition will run from February 6 and April 23 — schools pick a three-week window within those dates to run the program on their campus. Building dashboard software by Lucid, an Oakland, Calif.-based software company, will track each university's progress including individual dorm performance and a national goal to save one gigawatt hour of electricity through the competition. A total of 250,000 students are expected to participate in the competition.
On the University of Portland campus, individual dorms will compete against each other for a $500 prize. The school also has laid down a challenge to its sister school, Notre Dame University.
The competition is organized by the Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council.
Officials at UP say the efficiency competition is just latest in a stream of sustainability efforts. The school was the first college on the West Coast to discontinue the sale of disposable plastic water bottles on campus, has set a goal to be carbon neutral by 2040 and has reduced food waste by 70 percent in its dining halls.
Oregon State University also brings considerable sustainability cred with it to the competition. The school was last month named No. 4 in the nation for its green power use and last year received a gold designation from the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System.

I like the availability of products and pricing on Vitality Medical as I caretake my non-ambulatory mother who is also incontinent, but this is the 2nd time I received the incorrect product for the one I wanted. In this case, I received a "Liquid Acetaminophen pain relief" product Vitality had on line instead of what I ordered (the tablets) and had to contact the company to have the order corrected. The product numbers weren't even that close to get confused. The service rep. was diligent about replacing the incorrect product, but I still don't know if they want the incorrectly sent product sent back, as I did not open nor use it, so this is just an added inconvenience.

Despite the inflated reputation of 1999's Keep It Like a Secret, it's obvious Built to Spill has never made the perfect Built to Spill record. If anything, the band's Pavement-meets-Phish take on jammy indie rock is universally agreed to be best realized in concert, and has been remarkably consistent, though never transcendent, through their first six studio records. The seventh, There Is No Enemy, finds the Idaho band fronted by unlikely guitar god Doug Martsch again paring gooey Dinosaur Jr. riffs with the wispy vocals you expect from the Northwest. Unlike, say, Ancient Melodies of the Future's brilliant closer "The Weather," there's no foray into folk here, but the slow burn of "Nowhere Lullaby" and the Frampton-esque opening to the epic "Good Ol' Boredom," gives all the variety you need — and all the variety you'd get from a show by this lean and mean act, which goes roadie-less and without exotically tuned or acoustic instruments. The Westerberg pulse of "Pat" and the creepy cornfield vibe of "Oh Yeah" also flesh things out, switching up the terrain enough to keep things interesting for 55 minutes. Maybe that's why Enemy feels a little like the mid- to late-period live album the band should have released by now, and why it's probably the most complete Built to Spill record to date. Is There Is No Enemy Martsch's masterpiece? Not necessarily, but it's closer than at least five of his six other Built to Spill albums.

Swedish lactating bloke's dream turns sour
The Swedish dad who's spent the last few months attempting to squeeze milk from his breasts has thrown in the towel, with nothing more than "sore breasts" to show for his efforts. Student Ragnar Bengtsson, 26, said that male lactation "could prove very important for men's ability to get much closer to their children at an early …
What a tit.
Harrrumph! These people who post first!
I wanted that line!
Paris well she has a couple, allegedly
"male lactation could prove very important for men's ability to get much closer to their children at an early stage"
There are times when I think I can understand the Taliban. My wife and me have clearly defined roles... she doesn't try to hunt mammoths, I don't try to breast-feed the baby.
Male to female transsexuals taking female hormones can grow boobs, and are known to lactate, I've seen it in a...I mean, so I hear. No idea if it would ever go far enough to keep a baby fed.
The romans!
...ok, so we can agree that he can't actually have babies on account of not having a womb, which is nobody's fault - not even the Romans.
But we can fight for his RIGHT to have babies!
Won't someone think of the children?
Seriously - Mummy is for breastfeeding, Daddy is for more fun stuff (being tossed in the air, climbing onto his head, throwing food at, etc...).
What a doofus!
All that time "pumping his moobs" when he could have just taken a course of oxytocin and been away.
Interesting, but...
Interesting article...but, where's the TIT angle?
Mine's the one with the milk stains.
ow..oW..OW....OUCH!! My eyes are watering already!
Nature 1 - Idiots 0
Our sex clearly defines our abilities as far as child-rearing functions are concerned. Women bear children and feed them, men spread their DNA and provide for their offspring.
Any reference to drug-induced man boobs is naught without proper referencing and links to prove it, so I'm sorry Tony72, but your post is not valid, funny though it may be.
Well: so long as he enjoyed himself.
Wrong Approach
as tony 72 said, where's the hormones?
simply pumping at them will not produce results, but male and female mammals are both endowed with the proper hardware for lactation, all that's need is the proper software (eg. hormones.)
beer because the HOPS in beer mimics estrogen and builds moobs.
Estrogen is produced produced when testosterone breaks down; hence the impressive bust-lines one used to see among steroid users in the NFL. (At least, the chemistry is correct, and the shapes were there.) I don't think any sportswriters were rash enough to ask 300+ pound, roid-raging linemen about lactation, though.
What an excellent turn of phrase:
Magnus Talib, "a lot of people were almost blinded with disgust"
Disgust induced myopia, fabulous!
Do men have nipples?
Stephen Jay Gould
The late Stephen Jay Gould wrote an excellent mini-essay on the subject of useless physical phenmonena, namely nipples on men and the orgasm in women. It all boils down to embryology, apparently. But the best part was the title: "Male Nipples and Clitoral Ripples", which Stephen's wife came up with after the publisher balked at Stephen's first title "Tits and Clits"
@AC 17:06 re. Why
Just in case they want to become women later on.
Re: why nipples
Human embryos are sex-undifferentiated from a physical structure standpoint for several months during development, but the nipple structure is present early on. Just as the genitals are analogous between the sexes (with different parts more or less developed and in different ways), so too breast development differentiates later through hormone production. In other words we all get everything to make either male or female bodies, and which side gets activated by hormones is determined by chemicals. More efficient to standardize the chassis and determine configuration by setting different switches, I guess.
re: Why
For attaching the electrodes during a "special interrogation" session, obviously!
Because we men are actually women with a chromosome disorder.
Think about it.
Wouldn't it have been easier to
have just bottle fed - lots of women turn to it when their nipples get sore, or does he have a thing about mashing his nipples and needed to find a reason to do it?
Think I found the guy....
its just wrong.....
No moob synthesis then?
Not the only man to have trouble expressing himself...
Tux, 'cos daddy penguins know fish works better.
Nobody told him about prolactin?
He's probably to much of a hippy-douche to "use chemicals", so never mind.
No one told him?
No one told him that along with stimulation it was necesary a hormonal treatment for that to work?
Or hi is just nutty?
fail to do research
Step one: Realise that manual stimulation will do nothing much, as it'll be little more than what (non steroidal) bodybuilders and/or marathon runners undergo. And they're lactating, like, all the time. Not.
Step two: Realise hormones of some kind will be necessary, and this WILL result in near-irreversible (without moob-reduction surgery) growth. There are many paths available, from pills to herbs to beer to topical creams (that hopefully avoid some of the systemic effects that the others would have).
Step three: Realise some other guy has already beaten you to the punch using step two. I'm dead certain on having at least read in a book of oddities about an american who wished to breastfeed his child after his wife died giving birth, so hit up a drastic course of hormones and was fully enmoobed by the end of the year (though that was probably just in time for baby to get teeth and start weaning... not to mention the problem of undersized nippleage). However when I try googling for such an account all I get is this article's titular herbert.
There was another who did it for a bet - and won it, but liked the swollen chesticles so much that he kept them - but I can't be certain that wasn't just implants rather than the fully functional real deal.
You could say
his plan went tits up.

Yikes we totally forgot that An Education actress Carey Mulligan used to have brown locks…Then, on Tuesday night, the shy actress actress, who normally works crimson or blonde locks, stepped out for an NYC dinner with Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrmann, oh and a brand new brunette coif. The pair are currently gearing up to film The Great Gatsby (one of our most favorite novels of all time just btw), with the equally sublime Leonardo DiCaprio. Carey is set to play socialite Daisy Buchanan, a role once taken by fellow lover-of-the-pixie Mia Farrow in the 1974 film adaption of F. Scott Fitzgerald's genius tale. What are your thought on her new brunette "do." Do you love it or are you longing for her to return it the blonde pixie of yore?
