Old Tom Gin
Old Tom Gin (or Tom Gin or Old Tom) is a gin recipe popular in 18th-century England. In modern times, it became rare but has experienced a resurgence in the "Craft Cocktail" movement. It is slightly sweeter than London Dry, but slightly drier than the Dutch Jenever, thus is sometimes called "the missing link".[1] Unlike many gins which are produced in a column still today, Old Tom Gin is produced in a Pot still. [2]
The name Old Tom Gin purportedly came from wooden plaques shaped like a black cat (an "Old Tom") mounted on the outside wall of some pubs above a public walkway in 18th century England. Owing to the Gin Craze, the British government tried to stem the flow of gin with prohibitive taxes and licensing, which drove the scene underground. Under the cat's paw sign was a slot to put money in and a lead tube. From the tube would come a shot of gin, poured by the bartender inside the pub.[3]
Old Tom Gin was formerly made under license by a variety of distillers around the world; however, one was recently relaunched by Hayman's distillery based on an original recipe.[4] Since then a number of other companies have followed suit, such as: Both's; Secret Treasures; Jensens; Ransom; Master Of Malt; and The Dorchester Hotel. [5]
An Old Tom Gin made by J. Wray and Nephew Ltd. of Jamaica is very popular on that island better known for rum.
The first written record of Old Tom Gin being used in the Tom Collins cocktail was the 1891 book, The Flowing Bowl: When and What to Drink.[6]

Interesting observations
Got this from a reader (thanks to you guys for writing half my blog. Makes my life easier!):
Lately I have been reflecting about the parallels between Islamism and Socialism. Perhaps the best way of approaching this subject is by way of illustration. First, let me quote a section from an article by the inestimable Bat Ye'or on the ideology of Jihad (which is a central tenet of Islamism):
Jihad ideology separates humanity into two hostile blocs: the community of Muslims (Dar ul-Islam), and the
infidel non-Muslims (Dar ul-Harb). Allah commands the Muslims to conquer the entire world in order to rule it according to Koranic law. Hence Muslims must wage a perpetual war against those infidels who refuse to submit. This is the motivation for jihad. It is based on the inequality between the community of Allah and the infidels, as was re-emphasized in the Cairo Declaration. The first is a superior group, which must rule the world; the second must submit.
Compare this to Lenin's ideology of war, as written in "Socialism and War" (July 1915):
Our [socialists'] attitude towards war, however, is fundamentally different from that of the bourgeois pacifists (supporters and advocates of peace) and of the anarchists. We differ from the former in that we understand the inevitable connection between wars and the class struggle within a country; we understand that wars cannot be abolished unless classes are abolished and socialism is created; we also differ in that we regard civil wars, i.e., wars waged by an oppressed class against the oppressor class, by slaves against slaveholders, by serfs against landowners, and by wage-workers against the bourgeoisie, as fully legitimate, progressive and necessary.
Notice the parallels:
the division of the world into two classes, the enlightened and the unredeemable,
the apotheosis of the former and the dehumanization of the latter,
the disordered drive to conquer (libido dominandi) by the superior class,
the enlightened's sense of entitlement to rule over those who persist in their heretical beliefs,
the view that the peace will only reign once the unredeemable are completely subjugated or eliminated, and
the latent antinomianism of the true believers.
What's especially interesting is this: these attitudes are most certainly a consequence of original sin (a desire to be as gods), which is a reality that both Socialism and Islam deny.
This is why I pray that the light of the gospel reach the world: it notes that we are all sinners who are in need of redemption, that true peace is something that the world cannot give, and that the whole sum of the law is to love God and our neighbor.
PS. I know I am not the only one making this parallel, but I can't help but point out that the most interesting twist on this is that which Chesterton made in his book "The Flying Inn" in which the progressives and islamists are allied.

During the late 1920s the French army decided to adopt a large-caliber machine gun, for anti-armor and air defence duties, and after some experimenting it finally settled on 13,2mm caliber. As usual with the French army, most work was conducted in deep secrecy, but the outcome of the trials was the adoption of the heavy machine gun, developed by Hotchkiss, which happened in 1930. This weapon used a modified version of the American .50 calibre ammunition, loaded with bullets of slightly larger diameter – 13.2mm as opposed to the original 12.7mm; the cartridge cases were about the same, save for the larger diameter of the neck of the French load. The machine gun, known as the M1930, was more or less an enlarged version of the Hotchkiss M1922 light machine gun, with a similar gas-operated action and similar feed options, available in two versions – with side-fed strips or top-fed box magazines. What was most important was the fact that the French army and Navy also adopted a number of mountings for this formidable weapon, starting with the more or less usual tripods and up to sophisticated single, twin and quad AA mountings with pantograph sight mounts and movable seats for gunners. Twin and quad mountings were widely installed on trucks, railroad cars and ships. Versions of the heavy Hotchkiss were also widely exported during the pre-war decade. Japan, among others, was so impressed with these weapons that it acquired a manufacturing license and built 13.2mm machine guns in significant numbers.
The Hotchkiss M1930 heavy machine gun is a gas operated, air-cooled, automatic-only weapon, which fires from an open bolt. The long-stroke gas system and locking using a tilting locking piece are similar to those of the Hotchkiss M1922 LMG, but the trigger system is much simpler; it uses a single or twin spade grip at the rear of receiver with a thumb-trigger, which is directly connected to the sear. Some infantry versions of the gun were fitted with a pistol grip and a trigger at the rear of receiver, with shoulder stock attached behind. The rear part of the barrel (behind the gas block) is encased in a radiator with radial cooling fins. The Hotchkiss M1930 heavy machine gun could be had either in strip-fed or in magazine-fed versions. The magazine-fed type incorporates a bolt hold-open device, which locks the bolt open once the magazine is empty, even if the trigger is still held down. The bolt hold-open device is automatically disengaged once a fresh magazine is inserted into the gun.
The M1930 heavy machine gun was available on a wide variety of mountings, including light infantry tripods (with no AA capability), wheeled mountings, as well as single, twin and quad AA mountings, with ground fire capability and comprehensive aiming systems. Strip-fed guns were most often used for infantry applications on single mounts; magazine-fed guns were also widely used on multiple gun mounts, either ground or naval.

History of the 13.2-mm Hotchkiss:
In the late 1920s, Hotchkiss proposed a range of anti-aircraft automatic weapons in the 13.2, 25 and 37 mm calibers. They were all based on the same type of gas-operated action than the 8 mm mle 1914 machine gun, that had proven extremely reliable during World War I and was still in service. Hotchkiss also advertised the 13.2 mm machine gun as an infantry weapon, that could be fitted on conventional tripods and be used against light armor. French infantry commanders, that had expressed interest in acquiring light anti-aircraft guns, refused the 13.2 mm. They argued that those heavy bullets falling down could be dangerous to friendly troops, and went to larger calibers where self-destructing shells were available. But the 13.2 mm Hotchkiss saw extensive use as a naval gun, and was also chosen by the French cavalry for some of its armored vehicles.
When used as a naval weapon-
Early in World War II, the French and Japanese navies were using twin and quadruple mountings on many of their warships. French warships that were refitted in the USA in 1943, such as battleship Richelieu or destroyer Le Terrible, had their 13.2 mm machine guns replaced by more efficient Oerlikon 20 mm cannons.
When used a ground weapon-
The 13.2 mm Hotchkiss was used on the, Belgian T15 and French AMR 35, light tanks as well as the AMD Laffly 80 AM armoured car and on fortifications. In WWII the Japanese mounted of the gun on a number of Type 92 Heavy Armoured Cars which had initially only been armed with only a pair of 6.5mm machine guns.
When used as a Anti-Aircraft weapon-
The Japanese used a single mounting for close-range defense of its airfields and other strategic places.

- Party splitfamilyvacationDined on 7/18/2014Disappointed that having made reservations, our party of 18 could still not sit together. While usually glad to not be squished close to the next table, the fact that the rest of our group was five feet away did make us feel separate. Engaging with other table required getting up from seat and walking over. Warning to families: while we had a blast with the staff, some of their comments made for some awkward explanations to our nine to twelve year old children.Special Features:
- So Dis-appointedBurstMyBubbleDined on 7/16/2014Saw Dick's Last Resort advertised on the TV as a place to eat and have fun so I thought it would be nice to check it out when visiting Gatlinburg TN. Very dis-appointed, the quality of the food (we had ribs and chicken) was terrible with both being dry and tasteless. Was charged for everything including the small side salads which I thought were included until the bill came. Got to keep the beer glass (big deal)which I basically paid for by the cost of a the glass of beer and thought the waitress was just not into what was supposed to be a different kind of atmosphere. For myself and two kids the bill was almost $100 with tip, could have went to a dinner show and had a much better meal and alot more fun.
- Huge DisappointmentOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/28/2014Horrible server. Do not go there. Terrible service. Waiter ruined entire night. Does not know how to wait tables.
- Comedy club with foodkydiner43Dined on 6/26/2014Dick's is like a comedy club with food! The waiters and waitresses turn the patrons into the punch line of all the jokes. Great Food and surroundings! This place is not for those who can't take a joke.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mvanceDined on 6/21/2014Had a great time. Was our first time there and will go back. Service was great. Great dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Had a fun time!DixiesMomDined on 6/18/2014We went there with a party of 9, we all had a great time. The 3 "complaints" I have are: 1) When I told the waiter that we would need 4 separate checks he got a little snippy with me. At first I thought it was part of the act, but he was serious. We had been in Gatlinburg for 4 days at this point and every other restaurant was very accommodating. Separate checks is not hard to do, just have to pay a little more attention. As it turns out 2 of the 4 checks were wrong. 2) When I ordered the $25 Beergarita in the souvenier glass without salt, he told me "I cannot guarantee that it will come without salt" Really?? It's as simple as telling the bartender "no salt". Guess what? My beergarita came with salt. 3)Drinks are weak.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We had a great first time visitSmithfamDined on 5/31/2014We had a fantastic server. I would ask for him if I returned.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing TimegatlinburgerDined on 5/24/2014Dicks is a different type of experience, but it was so much fun and so exciting. The food was fantastic and the drinks were amazing. I loved the sarcastic waiters and the all over vibe of the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not goodMotiv8rDined on 4/20/2014They don't serve any sandwiches at dinner, which is the only reason we came there anyway. There's nothing funny about any of the servers we encountered. The place is awful and you should go there only if you want a stupid paper hat with a stupid insult written on it.


text: Sebelius: 'Possible' Obamacare Navigators Could Be Convicted Felons Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 6 Nov 2013 post a comment On Wednesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said felons could be Obamacare navigators that help Americans attempt to enroll in Obamacare and obtain sensitive personal information about enrollees. During a Senate Finance Committee hearing, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) asked Sebelius, "Isn't it true there is no federal requirement for Navigators to undergo a criminal background check?" "That is true, "Sebelius said. "States could add additional background checks and other features but it is not a part of the federal requirement." Cornyn then asked whether a "convicted felon could be a navigator and could acquire sensitive personal information" about potential enrollees. "That is possible," Sebelius said. She then said the organizations the administration had contracts with "have taken the responsibility" to screen Obamacare navigators.

Confronting the latest attack on our privacy and freedom: Lavabit's Profile in Corporate Principles and Personal Courage
By Alfredo Lopez
The term "collateral damage" is most frequently applied to the "non-targeted" death and destruction brought by bombs and guns. But it seems that our government, the master of collateral damage, is now doing it in "non-violent" ways. Take the recent situation at Lavabit.
Past Wars on Indians Aren't Even Past
Hammer in hand, one sees nails everywhere. Successful unpunished genocide at home in hand, the Pentagon sees Indian Country on six continents. But don't imagine the U.S. military is finished with the original Indian Country yet, including Native American reservations and territories, and including the places where the rest of us now live.
Compare and contrast:
Exhibit 1 from the New York Times:
"Mr. Obama embraced a disputed method for counting civilian casualties that did little to box him in. It in effect counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants, according to several administration officials, unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent."
Exhibit 2 from a U.S. Army dispatch in 1864:
"All Apache . . . large enough to bear arms who may be encountered in Arizona will be slain whenever met unless they give themselves up as prisoners."
Donald Rumsfeld gave a speech at Fort Carson with cavalry troops on horseback dressed in Indian-killing outfits behind him, as he praised troops in Iraq for living up to the legend of Kit Carson -- a man who marched hundreds of human beings to a camp later used as a model for the Nazis'.
Osama bin Laden was renamed by the U.S. military, Geronimo.
Winona LaDuke's The Militarization of Indian Country tells a history that isn't over, and describes a scene that cannot escape from its past. Like Coleman Smith's and Clare Hanrahan's survey of the militarization of the Southeast, LaDuke's survey of militarized Indian Country piles up numerous outrages to convey a picture of purposeful devastation on a stunning scale.
Many Native Americans live in places called Fort This or Fort That, keeping ever present the concentration camps these places were. They remain among the poorest and most environmentally devastated sacrifice zones in the United States.
"The modern U.S. military," LaDuke writes, "has taken our lands for bombing exercises and military bases, and for the experimentation and storage of the deadliest chemical agents and toxins known to mankind. Today the military continues to bomb Native Hawaiian lands, from Makua to the Big Island, destroying life."
Later, LaDuke summarizes: "From the more than a thousand nuclear weapons tests in the Pacific and the Nevada desert that started in the 1940s, obliterating atolls and spreading radioactive contamination throughout the ocean and across large areas in the American West, to the Vietnam War-era use of napalm and Agent Orange to defoliate and poison vast swaths of Vietnam, to the widespread use of depleted uranium and chemical weaponry since that time, the role of the U.S. military in contaminating the planet cannot be overstated."
In Alaska, 700 active and abandoned military sites include 1,900 toxic hot spots. People forget the seriousness of a failed plan to create a harbor in Alaska by dropping a series of nuclear bombs. Some of the actions that have in fact been taken have been only moderately less destructive than that proposal.
Uranium mines, depleted uranium testing, and nuclear waste storage have done as much or more damage to Indian Country as nuclear bomb testing. U.S. nuclear weapons are largely located in Native American territories, as well. If the Great Sioux Nation were in control of its 1851 treaty areas, LaDuke writes, "it would be the third greatest nuclear weapons power on the face of the earth."
Many Native Americans recognize in current U.S. foreign wars echoes of wars against the Indian nations. And yet, American Indians have the highest military enlistment rate of any ethnic group and the largest number of living veterans (about 22 percent of Native Americans aged 18 or over). "How," LaDuke asks, "did we move from being the target of the U.S. military to being the U.S. military itself?" Native Americans also suffer from PTSD at higher rates than other groups -- supposedly due to higher rates of combat, but just conceivably also because of greater cognitive dissonance.
I admit to finding a little of the latter even in LaDuke's wonderful book. She claims that sometimes there are "righteous reasons to fight." She opposes militarism but wants veterans to be honored. I'm writing this from a national convention of Veterans For Peace where I know numerous veterans would reject the idea that veterans should be honored. What veterans should do is organize more Native Americans and other Americans together into a movement for the abolition of militarism as well as the righting of past wrongs so that they will not any longer be repeated.
Is America playing its last card?: Pissing Off Friends is a Doomed Strategy

There Should Be No Sighs of Relief: Manning Verdict a Very Pyrrhic Victory
By Alfredo Lopez
The Bradley Manning verdict may seem a victory of sorts for the defense -- it's certainly being treated that way in the mainstream media -- but the decision handed down Tuesday by Court Marshal Judge Colonel Denise Lind is actually a devastating blow not only to Manning, who was convicted of unjustifiably serious charges brought by an aggressive administration seeking to make an example of him, but also to Internet activity in general and information-sharing in particular.
Holder promises Russia not to torture Snowden: A Shameful Day to Be a US Citizen
By Dave Lindorff
I have been deeply ashamed of my country a number of times. The Nixon Christmas bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong was one such time, when hospitals, schools and dikes were targeted. The invasion of Iraq was another. Washington's silence over the fatal Israeli Commando raid on the Gaza Peace Flotilla--in which a 19-year-old unarmed American boy was murdered--was a third. But I think I have never been as ashamed and disgusted as I was today reading that US Attorney General Eric Holder had sent a letter to the Russian minister of justice saying that the US would "not seek the death penalty" in its espionage case against National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, promising that even if the US later brought added charges against Snowden after obtaining him, they would not include any death penalty, and vowing that if Snowden were handed over by Russia to the US, he would "not be tortured."
So it has come to this: That the United States has to promise (to Russia!) that it will not torture a prisoner in its control -- a US citizen at that -- and so therefore that person, Edward Snowden, has no basis for claiming that he should be "treated as a refugee or granted asylum."
Why does Holder have to make these pathetic representations to his counterpart in Russia?
Because Snowden has applied for asylum saying that he is at risk of turture or execution if returned to the US to face charges for leaking documents showing that the US government is massively violating the civil liberties and privacy of every American by monitoring every American's electronic communications.
Snowden has made that claim in seeking asylum because he knows that another whistleblower, Pvt. Bradley Manning, was in fact tortured by the US for months, and held without trial in solitary confinement for over a year before being finally put on trial in a kangaroo court, where the judge is as much prosecutor as jurist, and where his guilt was declared in advance by the President of the United States -- the same president who has also already publicly declared Snowden guilty too...

Snowden Affair exposed more than NSA spying: US Corporate Media shown to be Rank Propaganda Arms
By Dave Lindorff
It's little wonder that despite his disclosure of an unprecedented KBG-like or Stasi-like spying program targeting all Americans, fully half of all Americans polled are saying that National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden is a "spy" or "traitor" who should be brought to justice.
Why would this be, when a solid majority also say they oppose the spying program?

It is clear that the entrapment and forced landing in Austria of the official airplane carrying Bolivian President Evo Morales was the work of the US, which was obviously behind the decision by France and Portugal to deny air rights to the flight, and which also was obviously behind the Austrian government's demand to be allowed to search the jet after it landed. After all, those countries have no interest themselves in capturing US National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, who is only Obama's and the NSA's quarry.

A whistleblower holding all the cards: Why did Edward Snowden go to Hong Kong?
By Dave Lindorff
A lot of people in the US media are asking why America's most famous whistleblower, 29-year old Edward Snowden, hied himself off to the city state of Hong Kong, a wholly owned subsidiary of the People's Republic of China, to seek at least temporary refuge.
Hong Kong has an extradition treaty with the US, they say. And as for China, which controls the international affairs of its Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, while granting it local autonomy to govern its domestic affairs, its leaders "may not want to irritate the US" at a time when the Chinese economy is stumbling.
These people don't have much understanding of either Hong Kong or of China.

Perl Script Extracts Software Licenses
A tiny script from U.S. network specialist Scott Iekel-Johnson extracts software licenses from source code. The oss-license-extract tool is now available in version 1.2.
The program in its current version searches through files with "license" and "copying" in their names, C source code and header files, and shell, Python, perl, Tcl and PHP scripts. It then produces a report with all copyright notices, authors and employed licenses, while eliminating duplicates. Iekel-Johnson wrote his scripts for his employer Arbor Networks to give him an overview of licenses before applying them or using them in distros.
The oss-license-extract 1.2 perl script is itself under BSD license as a tarball ready for download.

David Rosengarten on How To Boil An Egg...
Recently we've had a few threads on this subject. Here's David's method (from his newsletter):
Well, I've always been a casual boiler, just intuiting my way through one of the most proverbially simple tasks in all of cookery. But you know, believe it or not, you can screw it up! Recently, I came across a recipe that is obsessive about the details for hard-boiled eggs, even makes you feel a little foolish. But the pay-off is twofold: 1) the results are always perfect, with no undercooking ever; and 2) hard-boiled eggs cooked this way (and I tested this last week) have a different texture--not at all spongy, bouncy, hard, but softer, more velvety. Eggs boiled this way make egg salad even sexier.
Simply place 8 eggs (I used jumbo) directly from the refrigerator in a two-quart saucepan, and cover them by 1 inch with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, partially covered. Reduce heat to low, cover fully, and cook for 30 seconds. Remove saucepan from heat, cover saucepan, and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of iced water, and let eggs stand for 5 minutes. Peel immediately.
re: Shunick
I think it is generally thought to be better to use older eggs. One trick I learned on this board suggests, if you have fresher eggs, leaving the carton of eggs out on the counter overnight, upside down.
re: MMRuth
I totally agree with you, MMRuth. I've been cooking since the Ark landed and I definitely have seen the difference time and again between fresh eggs and those that are a little older. I always buy my eggs a week before Easter. My method of boiling is similar to David's, but I bring to a hard boil, uncovered, for three minutes, off heat and covered for 15, into an ice bath for 5 and then peeled. Works every time!
re: MMRuth
I am going to try the overnight trick this weekend! I forgot to buy enough eggs last week for deviled eggs for Easter, and was worried about how they would work, so this is perfect timing, thanks!
re: MMRuth
I used this trick today, and it worked perfectly! After an overnight on the counter (sort of sideways and upside down) I boiled them as above, and brand new eggs peeled up perfectly for deviled eggs. The peeling has been a trouble for the past two years at Easter, thanks for posting this trick.
re: Shunick
I have found no difference in the peeling process in new versus old eggs. Call me the contrarian but I normally have 10 easies and 2 difficults in a dozen plus/minus 1.
I have seen the threads on boiling an egg as well. I never realized folks struggled with this task.
Doesn't address issues like the size of the pan, the size of the eggs, ratio of eggs to water, the burner BTUs, GAS vs Electric burners.
An electric burner will bring the water to a boil generally much faster than a typical gas burner giving very different results.
A larger pan or heavier pan holds more heat.
More water vs Eggs means the temperature will decline at a slower rate.
Larger Eggs means it will take longer for them to come up to temperature in the center.
We need a article done by Heston Blumenthal or Jeffry Steingarten that eliminates these issues.
Something that:
Weighs a bunch of eggs in grams, giving different recipes for different size eggs.
Considers egg age.
Gives the ratio of eggs to water (# of ml of water per egg), using enough water per egg so that it doesn't take a long time to come up to boil again.
Works with already boiling water to eliminate the rise to temperature issue with different heat sources.
Specifies the exact size pot to use, and any adjustments for heavy (cast iron) vs light (cheap stainless or aluminum).
The method I use these days is almost exactly like David's. I got it from the new(ish) NY Times Cookbook, the yellow one. So much less detailed and fussy than St. Julia's method, and if the eggs are sufficiently old (as is usually the case) it works perfectly. My usual pan is either enamelled iron or a cast alloy, Magnalite or similar, depending on how many eggs I'm doing. I do NOT start with eggs right out of the fridge because I don't keep them there except in hot weather. They're almost always Extra Large, because Trader Joe has those for 99¢/dozen. Bring to rolling boil partially covered, cover and reduce heat (so it won't boil over) for thirty seconds, take off heat and let'em sit, covered, for fifteen minutes, plunge into ice water. Like a charm, every time. Even when they're too fresh, I can usually manage not to tear the white up too much.
I don't get too fussy (I don't think). I usually do about 6 at a time, though occassionally I do just one for a treat. I cover with cold water, bring to a boil, let boil for 1 minute, cover, let stand in water for 6 to 7 minutes, then just replace hot water with cold. I usually am shelling one within a minute of replacing the water. I guess that's much less time than most of you. I typically have what I consider a wonderfully creamy yolk.
re: orangewasabi
I am concerned about leaving the eggs on the counter over night. Any thoughts on that?
re: Shunick
no thoughts, other than so far, we've been lucky. Farm people seem to be much more fine with it than we city folks.
re: Shunick
Many places in the world do not refrigerate eggs at all. Like anything else, if you know the source of your eggs, and feel pretty confident that they have not been mishandled before you got them, it will be fine.
re: jfood
ohmigosh, jfood, just to be clear, when *I* say aged, I mean, brought home from the store and used in a day or four. NOT use sometime after the expiration date. Not sure if that's what you thought I meant, and perhaps it IS what others meant, but please. No one eat eggs post-expiration date on my advice.
my husband makes eggs as you do - he lets em sit for 10 minutes. my personal feeling is men who make eggs don't need to age em in order to get them to peel well. women who make boiled eggs need to age em for that lovely one-strip peel. dunno why, but guess who makes the boiled eggs in our house?
re: orangewasabi
I would never think you would use eggs after expiration, sorry if implied. I bought these eggs last weekend, in my fridge for a week and still weeks away from the expiration. Honestly i do not understand how long people think eggs need to be stored in the fridge before these cross into "aged." I was just giving a point of reference for the age. Likewise I would NEVER leave eggs on the counter overnight just to make the peeling process easier. Way to risky in the jfood book of safety.
BTW - Just finished some egg salad on a wonderful sour dough. Have to stop mrs jfood from laughing at the egg salad on the end of my nose. :-))
re: orangewasabi
I eat eggs after the expiration date all the time. Weeks after, even. Eggs last for a long time.
re: JasmineG
I've lived for 46 years and never even knew eggs had an expiration date. What exactly happens to them, and who decides on the date?
re: Linda513
The only thing that can happen is that they go rotten, but it's very very easy to tell when that happens (and I've never had it happen to me).
I have been using the same method but have found that I need to cook the eggs for a minute or two after the water reaches a rapid boil or the yolks are not done. Also I discovered today on a whim that if I peel the eggs under cold running water the shell comes off easier because the water gets in and separates it.
re: Michael K
Yes, that running-water trick works every time except when it doesn't ;-)
The thing is that some eggs don't seem to have a well-developed membrane between the white and the shell, and no matter how scientific your method might be some eggs just flat are not gonna peel, usually (in my experience) one or two out of every dozen, even old ones. These eggs are officially known in the Owen household as Will's Treats. Please don't tell my doctor...

My gifter not only punked me hard, but also ended up being the sweetest and most amazing santa I've ever had!
About a month ago I got a postcard from a hotel saying that the postcard was my gift. I was sad and and bummed at getting a postcard (from a hotel I'd even stayed at, no less)
After being burned by santas before, I felt very dejected about the whole santa thing!
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY - my colleague walks into my office with a huge smile on her face. "Who do you know in Australia"
"You got this from Australia!"
great gift!
No Lactose!
You DID ask to be tricked!!
(The Waldorf is pretty amazeballs though right!)
when you eat the tim tams, take a SMALL bite from each end. get a cup of warm milk and use it a straw. the inside go soft and the milk taste like chocolate. it is AMAZING.
This is an awesome awesome Santa!
Australian tradition: Tim Tam Slam.
Make a hot chocolate/tea, take a small bite out of opposite corners of the Tim Tam, and drink the hot chocolate through it. It melts really quickly so once you have a mouthful of hot chocolate, swallow it and you will imediatly have to eat the whole Tim Tam in one shot.
You can thank me later.
This story is so great! I love to read these kind of stories of such GREAT Sanatas' that go above and beyond :)
This is the sweetest thing I've seen so far! What a lovely gifter!
Such a fabulous job, gifter!! :) All these wonderful gifts are inspiring me and making me excited for my first reddit gifts!
Wow, this is great. Kudos to your SS.

Lee Daniels Reveals Wanting to Kill Himself As A Kid Because of Bullying

Most of us can easily say what we want when it comes to changing our health, weight, fitness and lifestyle. The problem is, that is not enough.
I always say a goal is just a wish until you write it down. It is a step in the right direction if you need to lose weight and say, "I want to lose weight," or "I want to be healthy and fit." However, these are just statements, wants, desires and wishful thinking. We all need clear fitness goals. Most important we need a well laid out plan how we are going to get there. If you don't plan, you are planning to fail.
Many people know the basic principles of following through with goals in other areas of their lives, such as running their own business, mapping out their career, setting financial and family goals. When it comes to setting fitness goals most people know what they want but either don't follow through or give up when change doesn't take place immediately.
Here are the SMART principles I follow when helping clients set their fitness goals:
Be SPECIFIC
First thing you need to do when setting your goals is to try to be specific. Saying "I want to get fit" or "I want to lose weight" is not specific enough. What fit is for one person may not be fit for another. Is your plan to run a marathon? Is it to be able to play with your grandchildren? If you don't make specific goals you will probably give up soon after you begin. Being specific with your fitness goals is saying something like:
"I'd like to learn to run a five-kilometre race"
"I want to lose 10 pounds"
"I want to reduce my body fat percentage"
Have a MEASURABLE goal
You should be able to measure your goal. For example, if you say "I'd like to learn to run," you need to decide if it is for a certain distance. Decide if you want to be able to run for 20 minutes straight, do a 5K run or even a marathon.
When talking about losing weight or reducing your body fat percentage you must set specifics. Decide from the get-go how much you want to lose.
Set an ACHIEVABLE goal
"Set your goals high enough to inspire you and low enough to encourage you."—Anonymous
This is something personal and you should keep in mind it can be changed—higher or lower. Once you achieve your goal you can set a new one or focus on the other goals you have set as well.
Be REALISTIC
The goal you set must be challenging. At the same time, it should be realistic and attainable, not impossible to reach. This principle runs together with the idea of having an achievable goal. You might be able to run a marathon one day but a better, more attainable goal would be to prepare for a 5K race. Before you know it you will be setting your next goal—running a 10K race.
Set a TIME FRAME
Set a date for you to achieve your goal. With a specific, measurable, achievable and realistic goal in mind, now all you need to do is set a time frame to achieve it. Make sure to apply the other four principles to it.
Once you set the time frame you should periodically reassess your goal and check your progress against it.
Making achievable goals that are challenging but realistic is the way to go.

I wouldn't quibble over Ilevel, Better boots are better boots regardless of I level, i mean would you wear some 372 boots with int/resilience and hast on to up your ilvl? no, you'd take the boots that made you the hardest to kill and easiet to heal, right?
The meta gem is better becuase it lowers your damage take by a larger amount than the armour meta. Armour has diminishing returns and every tank is quite hard into those DRs so you actually need a hell of alot of armour to actually increase the damage reduction from armour by a meaningful amount losing 2% of your armour doesn't actually decrease your damage reduction by much (IIRC its about a 0.3% damage reduction loss dependent on how much armour you have). On the other hand Blocking has no DRs what so ever , and as a block tank you should be blocking the vast majority of non avoided swings so most of the attacks against you will be decreased by an additional 1%
As to HP, I honestly don't know i managed most of T11 with less than 130k hp and never felt it was insuffient, It's just not a factor that concerns me at all. Getting full combat table coverage is worth alot more than Stam

Yesterday was launched a new improved server system build to offer a higher quality experience on the battlefield of Company of Heroes 2. Relic Entertainment believes that gamers will appreciate the Aftermath update, since it contains a map made by the community, new combat balancing and a more productive surrender mechanic.
The new servers can be described as a blend of Company of Heroes 2 and the online multiplayer matches; they will connect players to each other directly. Jeffery Simpson assured fans that the new "battle servers" will not delay an entire match if one computer is lagging, even in bigger combats.
He explained: "with the new system, players will be connected directly to a Battle Server, which will relay game information between players." You will not have to worry about slowing down because "if one player has a poor connection, only their game will be affected."

It's going to cost a cool $25 million to restore it, due to "Affordable" Care Act mandates. Therefore, under Democrat Party dogma, these widows have ceased to exist. If you listen carefully, you'll hear an audible pop as they become non-persons and vanish from mediaspace, never to be mentioned by anyone in President Obama's newsroom palace guard.

Compaq Presario Windows Media Player Pixelated/Buggy
Hey Guys,
I'm trying to watch some movies on my windows media player but the video's all appear kinda buggy. Specifically there are little color dots that show up all the time and the image seems kind of washed out. All of my games appear fine, Youtube appears fine, Netflix looks normal. But no matter what I seem to use: VLC, WMPlayer, WMCenter, Media Browser Service. They all have this issue.
The little dots/pixels/whatever don't stay the same color and they disappear or change when there's like movement in the movie. It can't be the video file itself because this happens to all of my video files when I try to run them.
Does anybody know how to fix this? Any ideas even?

Well I did a bit more tinkering and figured it out and I'm going to post what I did for posterity just in case someone's interested. It was real simple but I always post something in some tech forums and google the issue before I start messing with things myself.
Ok, so here it is:
Go to the NVIDIA Control Panel under Appearance and Personalization in the Windows Control Panel.
Scroll down to Adjust Video Image Settings and then switch the Edge Enhancement and the Noise Reduction over to "Use the video player setting". That simple
