Buying and storing eggs including how to freeze eggs
Our guide to choosing, buying and storing one of the most important ingredients.
Ideally, you should buy your eggs from a supplier that has a high turnover and make sure you always check the best before date on the box. In the UK, this date will usually be three weeks from when the eggs were laid and not packaged. This will enable you to determine exactly how fresh the eggs are.
In the US, on the other hand, the carton is stamped with the date on which they were packed. This date is written as a number from 1 - 365. Number 1 represents January 1st whilst number 365 represents December 31st.
At the store, open the carton and inspect the eggs to see whether there are any broken or cracked eggs and also test the weight by holding one in your hand. The heavier the egg, the fresher it is.
When eggs are really
, the air cell within them is very small. As the eggs age, moisture is lost and is replaced by air, which means that the eggs will become lighter and lighter in weight, as the air cell grows bigger and the egg becomes less fresh.
The way in which the eggs are stored can also affect their quality and freshness.
Storing eggs
Once you arrive home, you should store the eggs in the refrigerator at a constant temperature of 40°F (4°C) or below. Temperatures above 40°F may lead bacteria to grow and rapidly multiply.
Keep the eggs in the original carton and place them on one of the shelves inside the fridge, where the temperature is cold and consistent. Do not store the eggs inside the fridge door, where warm air enters the fridge each time the door is opened. Eggs may be kept for up to five weeks if stored properly in the refrigerator.
Eggs are susceptible to changes in temperature, which can result in loss of quality.
Make sure that the eggs are kept in the same position as when they were packaged, with the pointed end facing downwards, as this prevents any damage to the air cell.
Keeping the eggs in their original carton is very important, as the protective cardboard slows down moisture loss and protects the eggs from the absorption of strong odours and flavours, through their porous shells, from nearby strong-smelling foods. The best before date can also be seen if the eggs are kept in the original packaging.
Some people store eggs in a cool larder or room, as many recipes call for eggs to be used at room temperature; however, eggs will deteriorate quicker at a warmer temperature. 24 hours of storage in a cool room is the same as 4 - 5 days in a refrigerator. Eggs stored in a cool room, should really be consumed within two weeks.
To warm eggs up to room temperature for certain recipes, either remove the eggs from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before needed or place the eggs in a bowl of very warm water for several minutes.
Separated eggs
can also be kept in the refrigerator but the egg white and the yolk must be kept separate. Place each part of the egg in a small airtight container with a lid and place in the fridge.
A thin layer of milk or water can be poured over the yolk in order to keep its softness. Separated egg yolks can be kept for up to 4 days, whilst egg whites should be used within 2 - 3 days.
Freezing eggs - How to freeze an egg
It is possible to freeze eggs, yet they must be removed from their shells and placed in a small airtight container or freezer bag.
If you wish to freeze whole eggs, beat the eggs until they have blended together and place them in an airtight plastic container. Label the container with the date and the number of eggs.
The same can be carried out for egg whites, but egg yolks require a bit more care. Beat the egg yolks in a bowl and add a pinch of salt if they are to be used for savoury dishes, or a pinch of sugar, for sweet dishes. This will stop the yolks from becoming too thick as they freeze over time. Pour the egg yolks into an airtight container, label the container and place in the freezer.
Defrost frozen eggs in the refrigerator overnight, never at room temperature and use them as soon as they have defrosted.

Baccalaureate (Academic) Alumni Survey 2013-2014
Jan 16
The 2013-2014 Baccalaureate (Academic) Alumni Survey is being conducted on RoseSTEM, Rose-Hulman's online alumni network, between January 16 and February 28 for alumni who graduated in 1993, 1998, 2003, 2008, and 2012 (corresponding to the current alumni survey plan of 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 years out).
The primary purposes for administering the alumni survey are regularly seeking feedback from key constituents, our alumni, on their collegial experience and their suggestions for improving our degree programs. In addition, aggregated survey results will be incorporated in our self-study reports to both the program and institutional accrediting agencies (ABET and Higher Learning Commission).
In order to reduce the burden on our alumni from receiving numerous and potentially duplicate requests for information, the Office of Institutional Research, Planning and Assessment, Institutional Advancement, and Alumni Affairs are collaborating on administering this year's alumni survey on RoseSTEM. RoseSTEM is our official online alumni network that offers up-to-date alumni news, class notes, photos, and event information to all alumni. We are hoping to utilize this platform to keep our requests for recurring information update to the minimum by providing opportunity and online access to our alumni for updating their profile information at their convenience. Information about targeted professional development and other social events of interest could then be directed to alumni who have expressed interests in their profiles. In addition, with updated alumni profile information on RoseSTEM, future alumni survey and other inquiries could be tailored to specific topics of interest without adding to the length of the survey forms for background information already existed in alumni profiles.
If you have any suggestion or idea to make our communication works better for you, please share your thoughts with Timothy Chow, Director of Institutional Research, at your convenience. Thank you for your attention and Let's Go Rose–the Fightin' Engineers!

The lack of a valid Form I-20 will not prevent the student's departure from the United States; it may, however, prevent the student from entering Canada or Mexico. Moreover, even a duplicate Form I-20, which lacks the expected admission stamps, may be insufficient for the student to obtain entry to Canada or Mexico.

Before she was a reporter, CNN host Erin Burnett worked on Wall Street. Evidently she still sees things from that perspective.
On October 21, Burnett took time on her show OutFront to criticize the Justice Department's reported $13 billion settlement with JPMorgan Chase. The bank is apparently ready to settle over a variety of claims relating to mortgage securities and the 2008 economic collapse.
To Burnett, this is the government punishing success–and making the bank pay for things it didn't even do:
This is all related to mortgage-backed securities and bad mortgages. It's a hell of a lot of money, but JPMorgan can afford it, which brings me tonight's number: $26 billion. That's how much JPMorgan made last year. So, the fine will take about half what they make.
If that makes you feel better, maybe it shouldn't. Just because they can afford it doesn't make it right. Going after companies, of course, should be based on wrongdoing, not on who has the money. And the truth in the case of JPMorgan's $13 billion fine is that many of the problem mortgages that they're paying for now stem from two acquisitions the bank made during the depth of the financial crisis.
Five years ago, JPMorgan bought Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual. These were hastily arranged deals brokered by Uncle Sam. In fact, many would say the fair word to use is "forced by Uncle Sam." Jamie Dimon was told, if you don't buy these, which are in death spirals, you're going to jeopardize the financial system. It's a patriotic duty, got to do it.
JPMorgan didn't have the luxury of time to do due diligence at the time. They didn't have the luxury of saying, no, I don't want to buy this company because we're worried (INAUDIBLE). Jaime Dimon got the banks cheap. They also had to take on those banks bad loans and now they're paying for it.
From the sound of it, you'd think the Justice Department was adopting the mentality of a bank robber: They went after JPMorgan because that's where the money is. Burnett is suggesting that the bank is being penalized for the actions of two other institutions, Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual, that JPMorgan was forced to buy.
It's a helpful story if you're Jamie Dimon, but it falls apart under scrutiny. As Peter Eavis of the New York Times reported last month (9/30/13), JPMorgan had been keen on the idea of buying both companies months before they were "forced" to do so by the government. That might explain why company executives like Dimon made statements after the acquisitions that they knew what they were getting.
Eavis also pointed out that it is not at all unusual for a company to assume certain liabilities when it assumes ownership of a corporation. As he put it, "the practice of holding acquirers accountable for the missteps of purchased companies is quite common." (If this weren't the case, it would be absurdly easy for corporations to avoid accountability for misdeeds by simply transferring ownership.)
As Yves Smith explained on CounterSpin this week (10/25/13), JPMorgan Chase bought both companies for next to nothing–and they've profited handsomely since then as a result. As many have noted, the Bear Stearns building itself is valued at more than Dimon paid for the entire company.
And as George Zornick at the Nation wrote last year (10/24/12), JPMorgan received plenty of things in the deal; the government "took $30 billion of toxic assets off of Bear Stearns's books," for instance.
So it's hard to imagine seeing JPMorgan or its CEO as the victim here–but a CNN host who used to work as a Goldman Sachs analyst might be able to find a way.

November 1, 1870
The first systematized and synchronous weather observations were taken at 24 stations across the U.S. at 7:35 am. These observations were transmitted via telegraph to Washington DC for plotting on a national weather map. The Army Signal Service was assigned the responsibility for taking these observations.
November 1, 1950
Despite being about halfway into fall, temperatures across central Illinois rose into the 80's, establishing record high temperatures for November. Pana reported a high of 84 degrees, with 83 in Springfield and Decatur, 81 in Peoria, and 80 in Champaign.
November 2, 2010
Normal temperatures across central Illinois decrease significantly during the month, but are still fairly mild early on. Normal highs at the beginning of the month are in the upper 50's, with lows in the upper 30s. By the end of the month, highs in the mid 40's and lows in the mid 20's are more common.
November 3, 1880
November of 1880 still stands as the coldest November on record in parts of central Illinois. Peoria's average temperature was 30.2 degrees, and Springfield's average was 32.3 degrees.
November 4, 2010
Radiosondes are weather instruments that measure temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure of the atmosphere. These radiosondes are carried into the sky using weather balloons filled with helium or hydrogen. When inflated, the balloon is about 4-5 feet in diameter and several feet high. However, as the balloon ascends, the decreased effects of barometric pressure cause the balloon to expand. It will usually pop at an elevation close to 100,000 feet off the ground. By this time, the balloon is about the size of a small house.
November 5, 2005
Late season severe weather caused extensive wind damage across central and southeast Illinois, late on the 5th to just after midnight on the 6th. Peak wind gusts from the storms inclueded 89 mph at the Lawrenceville Airport, and 86 mph at Chrisman, where significant tree and structural damage occurred. Significant damage also occurred west of Bloomington, near Stanford.
November 6, 1885
A late-season tornado moved across Pike and Brown Counties of west central Illinois. The tornado unroofed two homes at Versailles, and one on the south edge of New Salem. A second tornado took an intermittent path from south of Canton, in Fulton County, to Alta, in Peoria County. Barns were swept away and debris was scattered for miles.
November 7, 2010
Areas near the Great Lakes frequently deal with lake-effect snow during the fall and winter. These snows are produced when cold air picks up moisture while traveling across the relatively warmer lake waters. The air then rises to form clouds and snow. Generally, these lake-effect snows are found along east or south shores of the Great Lakes, but a northeast wind will produce lake-effect snow in northeastern Illinois.
November 8, 1956
The average first freeze of the fall season normally occurs in Springfield on October 22nd. However, during the fall of 1956, the first freeze didn't occur until this date, November 8th. This set a record for the city's latest first freeze.
November 9, 1864
A tornado in southeastern Missouri crossed the Mississippi River into southwestern Illinois, affecting the areas around Chester and Richview. A ferry boat on the river was hit, with much of the debris being blown over a quarter mile. Four people in Chester were killed when the late-night tornado destroyed 14 houses.
November 9, 1984
A strong tornado moved across Bond and Fayette Counties, from Dudleyville to Brownstown. This tornado, with a track of 30 miles, damaged 175 homes. Much of the damage was in Brownstown, where 25 homes were destroyed and 144 were damaged. 11 injuries were reported.
November 10, 2002
Severe thunderstorms moving across southern Illinois produced two weak tornadoes, one in Franklin County near Royalton, and one in Jackson County near De Soto. Wind gusts over 60 mph were also reported in many areas, along with golfball size hail north of Eddyville.
November 11, 1911
Tornadoes moved across Cass and Mason Counties of central Illinois. The Cass County tornado touched down near Arenzville and moved through Virginia, where 100 buildings were damaged. 12 people were injured. In Mason County, the tornado moved from near Easton to the Logan/Mason County border west of San Jose. An infant and an elderly woman were killed in separate homes near Easton.
November 12, 1882
Peoria normally has its first freeze of the fall season on October 17th. During the fall of 1882 and also the fall of 1946, the first freeze didn't occur until this date, November 12th. These two occurrences mark Peoria's latest first freeze on record.
November 12, 1965
A strong tornado touched down near Morris, moving northeast to near Channahon, Preston Heights, and Tinley Park. About 100 homes were badly damaged or destroyed by this tornado along its 36 mile path, with damage estimated at $7 million. A separate tornado further southwest destroyed a dozen planes and several hangars at the Streator airport.
November 13, 1951
A strong tornado moved across Jackson and Perry Counties of southern Illinois, along a 6 mile path. At Campbell Hill, the city hall and 10 homes were demolished, and the downtown area was severely damaged. Seven injuries were reported.
November 14, 2010
Ice crystals sometimes act as prisms in the sky. If the Sun is positioned right, they can bend light rays and reflect them back to the light source. This causes a display known as a "sun pillar". Sun pillars are most likely around sunrise or sunset. They appear as columns of bright light extending upward or downward from the Sun.
November 15, 1988
A pair of strong tornadoes affected the eastern St. Louis metropolitan area. The stronger one touched down 3 miles north of Fairview Heights and moved to Troy. 3 electric power line towers were knocked down, and a number of houses and other buildings were damaged. Damage in Madison County alone was $1 million.
November 15, 2005
A tornado touched down 7 miles southwest of Newton, in Jasper County. The tornado downed numerous trees and power lines. The majority of the structure damage impacted outbuildings, barns, and grain bins. 11 outbuildings were severely damaged or destroyed. Three homes sustained minor damage. One attached garage was destroyed, with the debris carried 150 yards downwind. The tornado lifted about 3.5 miles northeast of Newton.
November 16, 1955
An early morning tornado moved across Union County, in southern Illinois. It tore roofs off homes and demolished other buildings along its path, from southwest of Jonesboro to Anna.
November 17, 1892
A tornado in southwestern Illinois moved across Monroe and Randolph Counties. About 80 buildings were damaged or destroyed, including 43 homes. Two people were killed, and seven others injured.
November 18, 1934
Late-season tornadoes moved across northwestern Illinois, affecting Rock Island, Henry, and Lee Counties. Five people near Kewanee were injured when two cars were hurled into a field.
November 19, 1991
A strong tornado stuck the city of Marion, in southern Illinois, causing $30 million damage. The tornado destroyed 45 homes and damaged nearly 300 more. The tornado was on the ground for about 1-1/2 miles.
November 20, 1931
Mild weather prevailed across central Illinois during the month. Records for the warmest November average temperature were established at Springfield, with 52 degrees, and Peoria, with 50.2 degrees.
November 21, 2010
Central Illinois averages about 20 days a year where dense fog reduces visibility to 1/4 mile or less. However, the foggiest areas of the country are in the far western U.S., in mountain valleys and along the coast, in the Appalachian Mountains of the eastern U.S., and in southwestern New England. These areas usually see at least 80 days a year with dense fog.
November 22, 2010
Lenticular clouds are lens shaped in appearance, and frequently form one above another. They may lead to an increase in UFO sightings, because they can resemble spacecraft. Although they may be visible in Illinois on occasion, they are most common in mountainous areas.
November 23, 1950
Peoria had its earliest sub-zero temperature on record, with a low temperature of 1 degree below zero. This stood as a November record until 1977. Ironically, the all-time November record high was recorded earlier that month.
November 24, 1950
The early season cold wave continued in central Illinois. High temperatures of 6 degrees in Springfield and 8 degrees in Peoria both established the coldest November high temperature on record. Record lows were also established at both sites, with temperatures below zero.
November 25, 1908
A tornado moved across 22 miles of Randolph and St. Clair Counties of southwest Illinois. Homes were overturned, a barn destroyed, and livestock killed. The local mail carrier was injured, as was the person that ran to warn him of the oncoming tornado.
November 25, 1950
Record cold continued across central Illinois. Champaign's low temperature of 5 degrees below zero set a November record for the city. Record lows for the date were also set at Peoria, with a low of 1 below zero, and Springfield, with a low of zero.
November 25, 1996
A winter storm brought a mixture of freezing rain, sleet, snow, and high winds to central Illinois. This was the result of a strong low pressure system moving northeast from the lower Mississippi Valley, combining with cold air pushing south out of the Northern Plains. Significant icing occurred, causing numerous accidents and power outages. Several injuries were reported.
November 26, 1859
A tornado moved northeast across Pontiac during the late afternoon. Homes, stores and barns were destroyed by this tornado. No deaths were reported.
November 26, 1977
Peoria's November record low temperature was established, with a temperature of 2 degrees below zero. The previous record had been set in 1950.
November 27, 1990
A tornado moved across the southern edge of Rushville, in Schuyler County, and moved northeast causing extensive damage to homes, barns, and trees in the Scab Hollow area. At least 3 homes were destroyed. Another tornado uprooted 36-inch-diameter oak trees in southwest Mason County. A third tornado in Tazewell County destroyed 32 airplanes and 4 hangars as it moved across an airport, causing $1.5 million damage.
November 28, 2010
Ice crystals in the sky can sometimes cause interesting displays of light. A halo is such a display. Halos are caused when light rays are bent by ice crystals, forming a ring around the sun or moon. Weather folklore says that halos can be used to forecast precipitation. This is sometimes true, because high clouds containing ice crystals are the first clouds to move into an area ahead of an approaching low pressure system.
November 29, 2001
An area of low pressure intensified as it moved over southeast Illinois, creating strong gradient winds up to 62 mph. These winds only lasted for about half an hour. The winds blew down numerous large trees and power lines in Lawrence and Crawford Counties. No injuries were reported.
November 30, 1964
A low temperature of 3 degrees below zero was recorded at Springfield's Capital Airport. This set the city's November record low temperature.
November 30, 2006
Widespread freezing rain and sleet affected many locations in central Illinois west of I-57 on the 30th, changing to snow overnight and into the morning of December 1. Eleven counties in central Illinois reported ice ranging from 1/4 to 2 inches thick, with the thickest ice around Decatur, Taylorville, Clinton and Mt. Pulaski. Eight counties reported heavy sleet ranging in depth from a half to 2.2 inches. The heaviest snow occurred along and west of the Illinois River, where snow amounts were 8 to 18 inches.

When I first came upon the words "Culture Diversity", it strike me as a vast and unfamiliar movements in the world that needed to be explored and understood, but it was difficult for me to find a common language that speaks "Diverse" and "Culture" for everyone. So instead I ended up exploring what was needed to bring the theme "Culture Diversity" to work.
I felt that in order for this theme to be broadcast, it was necessary for us to open our mind and heart first, so that we may be ready to learn and understand what maybe unfamiliar to all of us. Hence the reason why I chose to create a metaphoric "open hug" as the identity for this festival, because I felt this was what the festival was about: to embrace and to understand each and every different cultures.
In terms of treatments, I really felt this festival something humane and therefore needed to be really organic and soft, so all the logos and type were drafted by hand, which further evolved into more illustrative and playful ideas that may be embraced into this "open hug" identity and stationery.

This pressure is likely to compel small and regional banks to raise capital or sell themselves to rivals in the coming years, according to analysts.
"Pay days for a lot of banks got pushed out," said Jeff Davis, bank analyst with Guggenheim Securities. "We all expected much of this to be repaid by 2011, but the economy's not growing like we all thought."
They would have us believe consolidation wasn't part of the plan. Although since the crash, that's really all that has happened. The largest banks that misbehaved the most got larger, making them more likely to fail more spectacularly in the future. Then Congress was kind enough to create rules to make local and regional banks less competitive with the big Wall Street boys. Nice how that worked out for those Wall Street and Federal Reserve bankers. And all it cost will be up to 75% of our future earnings.

Econo Lodge Makes It Easy To Be Green
ROCKVILLE, Md.,
Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Econo Lodge hotels, the brand known as the
Easy Stop on the Road, will celebrate the one year mark of their
Room to be Green
program. A first of its kind initiative executed across the entire lodging portfolio, Room to be Green is designed to reduce environmental impact and waste, meet the changing expectations of today's environmentally conscious guests and potentially lower operational expenses, (including energy and water costs) at the property level.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131015/NE98133LOGO-e)
The Econo Lodge brand, which is fully franchised by Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), one of the world's largest hotel companies, is a leader among economy hotel brands for implementing mandatory Green initiatives throughout all its properties. As a result of its program, in the past year more than 830 Econo Lodge hotels helped reduce annual water usage by an estimated six million gallons and energy usage by and estimated twelve million kWh. Additionally, in tandem with American Forests, an organization dedicated to the protection and restoration of forests around the world, Econo Lodge planted one tree for each Econo Lodge currently opened.
"One year ago, this was just an idea and an announcement. I am so energized by the enthusiasm with which Econo Lodge operators have rallied around our Room to be Green project as we celebrate this brand milestone," said Craig Mustard, head of domestic brand management for Econo Lodge. "Their actions demonstrate that caring for the environment can be done at any level. You just have to start somewhere and we are eager to continue building on this program moving forward."
The Econo Lodge brand required every hotel to implement the Room to be Green program by Dec. 31, 2013. The program outlines three mandatory elements of its initiative:- Energy Conservation: Hotels must use energy efficient indoor lighting solutions, such as compact fluorescent (CFL) or LED bulbs in all guest fixtures, excluding ceiling lights;
- Water Conservation: Hotels must offer all guests a towel / linen re-use program; and
- Recycling and Waste Reduction: Hotels must also provide a recycling program for staff and guest use

Russell Westbrook notched his second straight triple-double in Thursday's 117-113 overtime loss to the Suns, finishing with 39 points, 14 boards, 11 assists, three steals and one 3-pointer in 43 minutes, though he did suffer a minor ankle tweak in the closing moments of the game.

Wedding bells in Washington: State readies for same-sex marriage license applications
In November the state of Washington became one of three states to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples by popular vote. On Wednesday, county clerks braced for an onslaught of marriage license applications.
Jesse Tinsley/The Spokesman-Review/AP
Olympia, Wash.
County clerks across Washington state braced on Wednesday for a flood of marriage-license applications from gay and lesbian couples eager to exchange vows once a new law legalizing same-sex matrimony takes effect at the stroke of midnight.
Washington made history last month as one of three U.S. states where marriage rights were extended to same-sex couples by popular vote, joining Maryland and Maine in passing ballot initiatives on Nov. 6 recognizing gay nuptials.

Remember Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros back in the day when we didn't really care about their motivation? When we simply wanted to hop across platforms as quickly as possible and simply beat the increasingly tough levels? Then that damn storyline kept encroaching on the territory and distracting us from simply leaping around. To an extent FastBall 2 returns to those early days. It's not as pretty to look at as either Sonic or Mario but it does hark back to those joyful days of simply leaping.
You control a rolling red ball as it glides across each level. Your sole input is via tapping the screen in order to jump over the many, many obstacles in your way. Hit anything and it's back to the start of the level you go. Fortunately each level is very brief so you'll never be too frustrated. It's excellent fun too. As the game progresses, you come across blocks that make you fly into the air and direction signs that affect which way you roll. Stars can be collected as you roll in order to boost your high score. It's tremendously addictive as FastBall 2 is so easy to drop into for a few minutes at a time. Except it won't just be for a few minutes, you'll find 30 minutes are gone before you know it. If you check out the video below, you'll see just how fast paced it is (which explains the lack of good screenshots unfortunately).
If you do truly get stuck on a level, you can use a token (collected after completing 5 levels) to skip the level so it's never too frustrating. There are three difficulty modes available too with easy being suitably easy and hard making you want to tear your hair out. It's satisfying though so you'll give it a whirl despite your better judgement. There's also the addition of two graphical themes – Cartoon and Futuristic which affect the music as well as the look of the game. A small but neat touch.
With 105 levels in all, FastBall 2 is a heck of a lot of fun. Simple yet devilishly addictive, it's the kind of game that deserves to stick around on your iOS device for a while to come. If you've got plenty of friends on OpenFeint, there's the added delight of getting competitive over each other's scores too. Here's hoping that the developers continue to support FastBall 2 as there's a real chance of this game being a big hit.

Nerf guns are different. They shoot things and do what they're designed to do.
... nothing's wrong with child toys... cause even though we don't admit it: We really do want to spend some money on nerf guns.
Nerf guns are different. They shoot things and do what they're designed to do.
Well Legend sounds like he bought it, I guess we'll wait for a review of the product from him.
i hate to sound mean and all but that's so childish. if my brother asked me if he should get some crap like that i'd have slapped the mess outta him. and who asks big boy unless you like eight.
Hard work never killed anybody but why try it.
O.o I'm not sure how you can "hate to sound mean", when it was intended to sound mean.
Meh, we don't mind if people find it childish. The fact is: It's cool.
^_^ And in my opinion, if people aren't even tempted to get something that's awesome (to them), then they take themselves too seriously.
@Ace: I can get it for less than $70 dollars that's why I thinking it's a good deal.
The only issue is that it's only one eye, so it's really unfun. But I haven't got it yet, so I'll go to target tonight and pick it up, if not fun I'll just return it. lol
'Cause you give me something / That makes me scared, alright / This could be nothing / But I'm willing to give it a try / Please give me something
'Cause someday I might call you from my heart
Keyword. Stealth. I'll provide the link again.
Amazon.com: EyeClops Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles: Toys & Games
Look at them, and TELL me those look stealthy. Someone tell me to my face you wouldnt SEE those things coming at you, a MILE off, even in the dark. xD THEIR HUGE! Why?! Why do they need to be so big?!
It'd HAVE to be dark and night vision, for something like THOSE to be stealthy. o_o
Surely it would work what its meant to do, at least to some extent? I mean, if you bought it for 70 and got it home and it was just like, a LITTLE less dark, I'd say that was a collossal flail of a fail. It would be the magikarp of night vision, in that case.
.... I dont think anyones actually pushed the button and asked yet; why you would want the night vision and the seeing in the dark and stuffs. xD I suppose, being the eccentric, charming guy that I am, I'd buy something like this out of the sheer curiosity value, but I couldnt promise that I wouldnt get bored with it after an hour in the dark.
Not to mention the fact that yes, this is intended for younger people, Eyeclops is the same people who also made that corny looking big ball thing with a handle, that you connect to the television via a wire, and you can see whatever you push it at, in like, microscopic dimensions or whatever.
... I have a professional, decent microscope. They aren't that fun. I only use mines to...
Actually, nevermind. Thats my business.
The night vision would be fun yes, but if I, for instance, wanted one for something like wildlife photography, which I do every so often, to capture more nocturnal creatures, I'd have just gone all out for a more professional one, even IF it cost a few extra hundred, or whatever.
... Then again, this, coupled with a high power Nerf Gun and maybe a high powered double-barrel pump watergun connected to a vat of heated syrup...
You know for a "professional" one you will be lucky if you can get one for a few hundred more. More like a thousand. Ones in the hundred range only get you one for one eye, similar to the toy you're seeing now.
I don't intend to use it for anything serious, but I have so many partical uses for it even after my fun period ends with it.
'Cause you give me something / That makes me scared, alright / This could be nothing / But I'm willing to give it a try / Please give me something

The Super Colon will be at the Sydney Showgrounds this weekend (18-20 May) as part of one of Australia's largest primary healthcare events.
Up to 1,700 delegates - general practitioners, practice nurses and practice managers - are expected to attend the three day General Practitioner Conference and Exhibition (GPCE).
Bowel Cancer Australia expects that GPs who check out the Super Colon will be reminded of their important role in the prevention and early detection of bowel cancer.
Research has shown people are more likely to participate in screening programs, including bowel cancer screening, if their GP has recommended they do so.
FOB test screening is recommended at least every two years for men and women from 50 years of age if they have no known risk factors. Anyone with symptoms or a personal or family history of inflammatory bowel disease, bowel polyps or bowel cancer should see their doctor.
The GPCE is an important professional development activity for GPs, with the scientific program including workshops, seminars and meet-the-expert sessions across the broad range of conditions that present in general practice.
Topics include health promotion, care of the elderly, chronic disease management, emergencies, clinical procedures, mental health conditions and more.
So come and visit the Super Colon at Bowel Cancer Australia's stand (1816) at the GPCE. The exhibition is free to attend.

Another evolution debate on tap for Kansas BOE

Associated Press
TOPEKA -- Kansas is headed toward another debate about how evolution is taught in its public schools, with a State Board of Education member saying Wednesday science standards under development are "very problematic" for describing the theory as a well-established, core scientific concept.
From 1999 to 2007, the state had five different sets of science standards for its schools as conservative Republicans gained and lost majorities on the board, which sets the guidelines. The debates attracted international attention -- and some ridicule -- before the latest standards, which reflect mainstream scientific views about evolution, were adopted five years ago.
Kansas now is among 26 states helping to draft new science standards alongside the National Research Council, with the goal of creating standard, nationwide guidelines. A first draft became public last month, and the Kansas board is scheduled to hear an update Tuesday.
Education Commissioner Diane DeBacker said a final draft could be ready by the end of the year, and the board then would decide whether to make those standards the state's standards.
But the decision might not be made until after the November election -- in which five of the 10 board seats will be on the ballot.
Board member Ken Willard, a Hutchinson Republican, said he's troubled by the first draft of the proposed standards. In the past, Willard has supported standards for Kansas with material that questions evolution; guidelines he and other conservatives approved in 2005 were supplanted by the current ones.
Willard said the draft embraces naturalism and secular humanism, which precludes God or another supreme being in considering how the universe works. He said he intends to raise the issue Tuesday.
"That's going to be very problematic," Willard told the Associated Press in an interview. "They are preferring one religious position over another."
Kansas law requires the board to review its academic standards at least once every seven years, meaning science standards must be considered again by 2014. The state uses these standards in developing annual student-achievement tests, which, in turn, influences what's taught in classrooms.
Board member Sally Cauble, a moderate Republican from Liberal, said she's comfortable with the language in the draft standards. Cauble, elected in 2006 after ousting an evolution skeptic in the GOP primary, voted for the 2007 standards.
Cauble said Kansas is participating in the multi-state effort to draft common science standards because it wants to ensure its students can compete in a global job market. She said the board should defer to scientists, science educators and business leaders when considering changes.
Past debates in Kansas have pertained to key evolutionary concepts, such as a common origin for all life on Earth and how changes in species can create new ones.
The now-discarded 2005 standards included language from supporters of "intelligent design," which said an intelligent cause is the best way to explain some complex and orderly features of the universe.
The first draft of the multi-state standards declares evolution and its underlying mechanisms are "key to understanding both the unity and the diversity of life on Earth." The standards also say evolution is among a few core concepts in life sciences that "have a long history and solid foundation based on the research evidence established by many scientists working across multiple fields."

Cardigans and jackets for Dh33 or less

- Vintage Edition army green hoodie jacket (right) for Dh30 at New Look and a red cardigan for Dh20 at Max.
It looks like the freakishly freezing mornings are going to stay for much longer. So let's bring out the hot chocolate and warm up with these winter wear for less.
You only need to fork out Dh30 for this Vintage Edition army green hoodie jacket (top right) I found at New Look. The original price was Dh95. There's also a grey variant for Dh45. They have more in stock at their Dubai Mall outlet.
Don't forget to look around for Max's rack of items Dh25 or less. Like the red cardigan for Dh20 (top left). There were so many markdowns on the tag for this one that I lost trail of the original price.
Over at Next, I found this cardigan below for Dh33 (was Dh135) in the lucky sizes rack. I saw about a few dozen XLs, and some Ls and Ms. I checked out other outlets, but this one only seems to be available at their Dubai Mall outlet.

Government Grant to Boost Construction and Property Investment
Stalled development projects and abandoned building sites are a common site across the UK at the moment. Many projects grind to a halt because the money runs out and there is not enough confidence in the market for investors to pick up deserted sites, even at knock down prices. The net effect is that the quantity and quality of new homes to rent and buy across the UK is not as good as it should be.
In an attempt to address the issue and deepen the new property pool government money has been pledged. In the recent budget the government announced that it would be giving grants to make it financially easier to build houses. Grants will also be given to those looking to restart projects that were forced to stop due to financial constraints. The proposal sounds promising as it means that there will be more; builders working on sites, new properties for sale, and less half constructed buildings.
Although the announcement was seen as promising and a step in the right direction the amount being offered was criticised. Many property professionals and investors feel that the amount pledged, which is £150 million, is not enough to have a significant impact on the market. The Chief Executive of the National Association of Estate Agents, Peter Bolton King, described the action as "encouraging, but a drop in the ocean." He also asserted that more needed to done to help the whole of the property market "which is so vital for the economy."
David Orr of the National Housing Federation also expressed his disappointment at the budget. He stated that "it is disappointing that the chancellor has failed to put investment in housing at the forefront of driving forward economic growth in the UK." Many property professionals see helping first time buyers as crucial to the economy and there is widespread disappointment that more of an emphasis has not been placed on this.

Texting While Driving
In a new study by UW researchers, of the 8.1 percent of drivers found to be driving distracted, 45 percent were observed texting, emailing, or othewise using their phones.
Most people would think twice about driving a car with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .19, the BAC of a 160-pound person after about seven drinks. However, many don't realize that texting and manipulating your phone while driving is equally as dangerous, and an alarming number of Washington's drivers are texting while driving.
According to Dr. Beth Ebel, principal investigator with UW Medicine's Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center and associate professor of pediatrics at the UW, a new study of 7,800 drivers in major intersections in six Washington counties has found 8.1 percent of drivers in the state are driving distracted. This means they are engaged in activates that divert their attention from driving. Of these distracted drivers, 45 percent were observed texting, emailing, or manipulating their phone in some way, higher than previously estimated.
Ebel said the implications of this study are significant: About 4 percent of the drivers in the state are driving with the aptitude of someone who has had seven drinks before getting behind the wheel.
"When you text and drive, you are not only diverting your eyes off the road, you're also diverting your attention span and using other fine motor skills to type and to maneuver your steering wheel. The senses you would use to drive a vehicle are being distracted," UWPD Lieutenant Craig Wilson said.
Wilson described distracted driving as a growing problem here in the U-District.
"It's not worth it. Because if you kill somebody, forget the fact that you now have a vehicular homicide felony and you're going to prison, you have killed a human being over a text message," said Amy Freedheim, senior deputy prosecuting attorney for felony traffic in King County.
Freedheim said she sees a number of distracted driving cases at the felony level. In order to stop this, she believes a culture needs to be established which discourages texting while driving as much as driving under the influence.
"It isn't our boss or our teacher who we stop to text to, its our friends and our family. The people with whom we are communicating with most are the ones who would be most devastated if anything happened," Ebel said.

(KMOV) – Imagine getting a tax bill for more than $250,000 that doesn't belong to you.
Joe Thaman got a final notice certified letter from the Missouri Department of Revenue threatening liens on his property and demanding payment of $266,000. It also even threatened his professional license, something he does not have.
He had plenty of evidence that the bill was not his: the last four digits of the social security number were wrong and so was the middle initial of the name.
When asked what went wrong, the Department of Revenue said that there are 3 million individual income tax returns filed each year in Missouri, and the Department of Revenue is not infallible as mistakes happen from time to time.
A few weeks after receiving the bill, Thaman got a letter saying the tax bill was an error. He says he plans to hold onto all of the paperwork just in case problems arise in the future.

The island was packed securely in 3 separate boxes. Once we separated and accounted for all the parts and pieces it took approximately 3 hours for my husband and I to put it together. It has a lot more storage than I anticipated which is a definite bonus. We've also had several people comment how well manufactured and appealing it is too. Only wish they sold matching backless stools for the island vs chairs. Very pleased customer!!
Once the island was assembled, it was great. This is clearly a two person assembly project. After spending several hours trying to get the first 2 assembly instructions completed, I realized that by tying the back on each side, it would stay together. These ties are removed before final parts are attached. I also found that it was necessary to tie the sides once the top rails were attached. this made it possible to get this assembled. Once this was fully assembled and in place, the effort was worth it. Be sure to allow at least 6 hours to get this together. The instructions were fine and all parts came in good condition and all predrilled holes lined up.
I REALLY wanted to love this island. Even though I didn't have a hand in putting it together, I can still give it an evil eye! I am a very good comparison shopper and this particular island, whether with or without the granite top, has its price all over the place. I do give O.S. a nod for having the best price, especially factoring in no tax and their incredible shipping cost. But, even using a 10% off coupon, this is still a pricey piece when one has to fully assemble it. The corners of the top came marred and there is one scratch on the granite top, but I might just have to "forgive" those problems, as once that granite top is on, baby... it ain't going anywhere! I will just used some furniture touch up markers on the corners and consider the scratch the first "ding" that was going to happen sooner than later. All in all, I really depend on using an island as a buffet server for my holiday dinners or get togethers and I loved the styling of this one. I don't know if casters would be a good option for the piece (the movable drop leaf legs do have wheels) but I do not see moving this out and back as needed, as I was able to do with my other island. Once positioned, this monster is going to SIT! During the course of assembly, I kept announcing that a 74 y/o woman professed to putting this together, by herself, minus the granite top. Yeah, I was asked to leave the room and I have to scratch my head whether the reviewer is dyslexic and meant 47. :)

A view from above the town of Bad Munstereifel.
Greg Miles
Thursday, October 31, 2013
Situated in Germany's Eifle national park, the picturesque town of Bad Munstereifel is a very popular destination for holidaymakers, but also boasts strong links with one Kent town, as Greg Miles found out.
They both nestle in the rolling hills of beautiful countryside, but that is where comparisons end when juxtaposing Ashford and Bad Munstereifel.
For a start, the hills in eastern Germany are more akin to mountains rather than the North Downs around the Kent town.
The picturesque spot in the middle of the Eifel national park is surrounded by pine-coated rolling mountains rather than jagged peaks offering some of the most beautiful sights in the country.
The spa town in the district of Euskirchen in the Eifel mountain range, is just over the border from Belgium and has been twinned with Ashford since 1964.
Its association with Ashford aside, Bad Munstereifel has always been a popular spot for holidaymakers from Britain, and with Germans looking for a relaxing weekend away, with many of the town's spa-related hotels and the outdoor adventures in the national park attracting visitors.
Although the formal twinning will be celebrating its 50th anniversary next year, the association stretches much further back than that.
Their history dates back to World War One when British troops occupied the town in 1919, under the command of a Major J Goode.
It was his brother-in-law, John Wiles, who later became Mayor of New Romney in 1946.
Six years after Wiles' appointment, he arranged a goodwill journey to the Rhineland, with Sir Winston Churchill as patron of the trip, and the Mayors of Dover, Sandwich, Hythe and Deal all present among the delegation.
That visit, which took in many German towns including Bad Munstereifel, was the start of the German-British youth exchange.
The idea was to give young people from both nations the chance to get to know each other while staying with host families on three-week exchanges.
The link with Ashford only became more prominent after John Wiles resigned as New Romney mayor and moved to the town, which meant most of the youngsters involved came from Ashford. He was later declared an honorary citizen of Bad Munstereifel in 1961.
Two years later the partnership went some way to becoming official with 300 German and British young people attending a reception in Ashford, with the formal twinning agreement signed on August 26, 1964.
Ever since, the exchanges have carried on with gestures including a massive block of stone originally from the Eifel unveiled in Ashford's town centre.
Ferdinand Lethert, the long-time president of the youth exchange, was awarded for his work with an OBE from Queen Elizabeth and was also made an honorary citizen of Ashford in 1986.
Bad Munstereifel might be in Germany, but it is much closer than you would imagine, with Ashford's close proximity to the Channel Tunnel and Dover's ferry crossings.
With traffic on your side the journey is driveable in just over five hours, and if you want to break up the journey there are plenty of stop-offs to be had on the way with Brussels, Bruges and Ghent well placed on the route through Belgium.
The town itself is steeped in history with its medieval ramparts and walls dating back to the 13th century. It certainly has all the hallmarks of what you'd imagine 'old Germany' to be like.
Unfortunately the castle, Burg Bad Munstereifel, that accompanies the well preserved city walls was badly damaged by the troops of King Louis XIV of France in 1689 – it now houses a restaurant.
Timber-framed buildings stack up along the high street with quirky shops making for interesting viewing. There are also a number of cake shops selling the typical mammoth portions of delicious local makes and bakes.
There is even a red post box and phone box to make you feel at home if you're travelling from these shores.
Being in the middle of the Eifel mountain range, there are no shortage of natural springs, which led to it becoming a spa town in 1926, which meant it took on the Bad (bath in German) part of its name in 1976. There is also the beautiful river Erft which runs through the middle of the town.
The town is also home to bleached-haired German pop legend Heino who has owned a restaurant under his own name in the town for a number of years.

Bobby Flay's Party Plan
By Suzan Colón
Special Offers
Find a No-Fuss Finale
Flay has always had a soft spot for sweets. As a little boy, he asked his parents for an Easy-Bake Oven for Christmas. (His parents, Bill and Dorothy, got it for him along with a G.I. Joe, just to balance things out.) When entertaining, especially in summer with lots of yummy fruit around, the chef prefers his desserts to be uncomplicated. There's the delightfully easy fruit crisp recipe he shares with us, and don't miss the winning reader recipe entry Flay selected from our Red, White, and Blue Dessert Contest. And, he adds, "I love grilled fruit, like nectarines or peaches, in the summer. Just add a little light oil, like canola, and a bit of salt before you put them on the grill. Then top the grilled fruit with some vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of molasses or honey, and fresh mint. That's the way you should be eating dessert in the summertime." If grilling fruit isn't part of your plan, try Flay's easy sliced watermelon with lime syrup.
That said, Flay admits that there's an even simpler dessert he sometimes can't resist. "I'm an ice cream aficionado. My freezer is filled with it, though I try not to go crazy. But last night I hit the Häagen-Dazs chocolate peanut butter and some of my wife's rocky road. It's so good." And it's a fast, scoop-and-serve way around the "What to make for dessert?" dilemma when friends visit.
Beyond sweets, Flay offers his favorite way to end an evening: with some fun and games. "Scattergories is our summertime game," he says. "We also play foosball and darts, and we're getting a Ping-Pong table because Stephanie and I are obsessed."
So, from prep work to Ping-Pong, that's Flay's party plan. When asked for one last tip for ensuring that an evening runs smoothly, he smiles and says, "Don't ever run out of sangria." A smart summer strategy indeed.
Flay's Crowd-Friendly Menu
Get Bobby's delicious recipes for salad, main dishes, sides, and desserts, plus our reader recipe contest winner's Patriotic Parfaits.
Transform Your Grill into a Smoker
There's nothing like the taste of smoked meat or fish. Don't have a smoker? Flay says your grill can do the job. His advice:
STEP 1: In the bottom of your grill, set up two zones: Place charcoal on one side only. Add presoaked wood chips on top of briquettes; these will create the smoke. "For meats and chicken, I use hickory," Flay says. "For fish and vegetables, I use cherry wood." Light the charcoal; Flay uses a chimney starter, never fluid. "Lighter fluid should not be anywhere near your house," says Flay if it is, "the food will taste like it."
STEP 2: Place a grill-safe pan of water on top of the charcoal and wood chips to create steam.
STEP 3: Put the meat, fish, or other ingredients on the side of the grill without charcoal, where there's no direct heat. "What you're getting is steam heat and smoke that's low and slow," says Flay. Let food smoke (about 10 hours for a pork shoulder), monitoring it regularly.
