India's President Pranab Mukherjee urged the country to improve the education sector, during a function commemorating the birth anniversary of Acharya Satish Chandra Mukherjee, a teacher and educationist of the early 20th century.
Mukherjee was speaking in Kolkata at a function marking Acharya Satish Chandra Mukherjee's 150th birth anniversary, organized by the National Council of Education, Bengal. Delivering the Sir Asutosh Mookerjee memorial lecture, the President expressed his disappointment over the fact that there wasn't a single Indian institution in a ranking of the top 200 educational institutes in the world. He contrasted this to the period between the 3rd century BC and 12th century AD, when India was a leader in higher education in the world, and home to many globally renowned universities such as the university at Nalanda.

Re: DW 5000 replacement parts
My local hardware stores have those master link retainer clips in their fastener cabinets. I believe it's a #25.
If you have an Ace Hardware in your town, they may very well have it.
My local hardware store is quite used to me showing up lugging pedals, tom arms, cymbal tilters, lugs, etc. to replace missing pieces.
They should at least be able to replace the cap nut on your Delta hinge. Just bring the pedal down to the hardware store and show them what you're looking for.
The kind of hardware store you need is an Ace, TrueValue, DoItBest, or similar.
It sounds like your pedal is taking a beating, so this would be a good time to wipe it down with a microfiber cloth and drop some TriFlow or other teflon oil into that hinge bearing and the axle bearings. Dirt is abrasive, and you'll get more life from the pedal if it's kept clean.
Good luck!

Skilful and powerful attacker Chuba enjoyed a highly eventful 2013/14 campaign during which he made his first forays into the professional game.
Having established himself as the first-choice striker for the U21s whilst in the first year of his scholarship, Chuba was hugely impressive during the first-team's pre-season tour of Asia in summer 2013. He went on to make his competitive debuts in both the Premier League, away to Sunderland, and the Capital One Cup, away to West Bromwich Albion.
The England U19 international also had two separate loan spells in League One, with Brentford and then Coventry City, playing ten games in total. He still found time to play and score regularly for Arsenal's various youth sides, with the youngster scoring six goals in nine starts for the U21s.
Chuba also chalked up impressive tallies in the UEFA Youth League (four goals in six appearances) and the FA Youth Cup (five goals in six appearances) as he further underlined his impressive credentials.
This season he will be hopeful of further first-team action at Arsenal, but may also head out on loan again as the campaign progresses, possibly to a Championship club on this occasion.
Name Chuba Akpom
Nationality English (U19, U17, U16)
Born 9.10.95
U21 apps 30 (19 goals)
U19 apps 16 (8 goals)
U18 apps 29 (9 goals)
Loan spells Brentford, Coventry City
Signed scholarship Summer 2012
Signed professional October 2012

Alrighty, to all my ladies! I wanna play a game.
I often talk to my gfs about things we find sexy… and usually we're on the same page about things. It amazes me how many times we as women, are turned on by things that (without the context we give it) are, in actuality, not sexual.
So, here's the game… comment with something from a movie/tv show/song, whatever, that turned/turns you on, and why.
There is just one rule, it can't be anything involving sex or nudity. (i.e. "When ______ took his shirt off in ____"… that doesn't count.)
As an example, I'll start with an easy one.
Oh yeah… Hotness… but let me tell you why…
While this is a great speech… the only part I truly need, is from 0:55 – 1:06.
First of all, something you should know about me. I have always, for as long as I can remember, had a weak spot in my knees (and other areas) for "wet white boy"… don't ask me why, I just do. So when the helmet comes off… BOOM! Wet Russell Crowe. He's fully dressed, not performing in any kind of sexual act, yet, 6 simple words had me like:
"Oh sweet mystery of life, at last I've found yooooou!"
I included the whole clip, because of all the factors that come into play to making this such a turn on. We all know what happened in the movie, so when finally coming face to face with the emperor, Maximus wants nothing more than to kill him. He stalls momentarily, because of the presence of the young boy… but… he's still thinking about it. In the end, he doesn't want to do anything that will harm the child. However, there's just so much a man can take, so… when that snotty little shit has the nerve to command him to turn around and tell him his name, he's like…
"okay… you asked for it, you got it… Toyota."
He gave his FULL name…. in LATIN… knowing that it would probably mean his immediate death. But, guess what? He didn't care. He went on not only a full blown rant, but with a promise. He said all the things everyone else was afraid to say, and he meant every word. not even death was gonna stop him from doing what needed to be done, and THAT is what makes this the sexiest scene in this entire movie to me.
And did you see Lucilla at 1:09… made her come up out of her SEAT! I feel ya, girl.
Okay, your turn :D

Our People
Profile: Michael Campbell
When Michael Campbell enlisted in the Army, he wasn't your typical, fresh-faced high school graduate. At 23, he had worked in New Mexico as a plumber before returning to his native Oklahoma to work on a cattle and horse ranch and had begun feeling the need to dig deeper into himself and do something significant with his life.
After watching a documentary on the Army Rangers, Campbell knew he'd found the path he wanted to take. To test himself, he filled a backpack with concrete blocks and set out hiking the sixteen and three-quarter miles to the nearest recruiting station, vowing that if he could make the hike, he could make it in the Rangers.
He made it, and three days later, he left for basic training.
While serving at Fort Bragg, N.C., following a deployment to Afghanistan, Campbell and fellow soldier Sgt. Trevor Blumberg asked for and received permission to begin an education program for their company. The pair hoped to use the program to help soldiers returning from war address personal and family issues as a result of combat and deployment.
After their first session, however, the program was cut short when their unit was deployed to Iraq. Fourteen days later, an IED struck Blumberg's Humvee.
In the aftermath, the fatally wounded soldier elicited a promise from his friend. "Never forget what we started."
After serving four years, Campbell returned home and earned an AA degree and, after learning about the G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery Center for America's Veterans at MSU, he and his wife made the move to Starkville in May 2007.
In January 2008, with his promise to his fallen friend still ringing in his ears, he met with a group of fellow veterans and college students in Chicago to begin drafting the constitution and by-laws for the Student Veterans of America.
Campbell currently is serving as president of the organization.
"One thing I think about every day is that Sonny Montgomery had the vision for veterans education, and our job is to see that it is done correctly," Campbell said. "We have learned that vets for vets is what works best, and that is what the SVA is all about. I can think of no better way to honor Sgt. Blumberg's memory than by serving my fellow veterans."
Next week … Susan Johnson !

Bearcat Volleyball Knocks Out Pacific U. Boxers In 3 Games
Salem — Jenni Linden and Angie Sammons led the attack with 11 kills apiece. The Bearcats took out the Boxers 30-14 in the first game. Pacific's leading scorers were Rachel Larson and Kelli Twigg, each with 5 kills.
The next two games saw the Bearcats scoring 30-26 and 30-17 in the second and third games respectively. In all the Boxers were out scored, out matched and easily defeated.
Coach Wright has had a positive outlook from the start of the season. With her team 8-2 on the season and now 1-0 in the Northwest Conference, that outlook is only getting brighter.
The Bearcat's next game is Friday, Sept. 19 at Pacific Lutheran* in Tacoma, WA at 7pm.

North Dakota's Gov. Jack Dalrymple, lawmakers and university students and administrators said Tuesday the university system's funding formula has not been transparent, equitable and has been looked down on over the years.
A new funding formula proposed by Dalrymple and the Legislature's 2012 Interim Education Committee would easily break down how funding is allocated to universities and provide equitable and fair funding for each of the university's 11 campuses, according to those championing the bill.
Senate Bill 2200 proposes to fund universities based on the number of credits completed, rather than a mixed-bag of ideas.
"At the core, that is the goal, what we are trying to achieve as a system of higher education, Dalrymple told the Senate Education Committee. "Course completion is ultimately what you're after - that alone provides a significant performance measure."

After installing the wrong drivers for a Fujitsu scanner, I encountered a problem where I couldn't install the correct drivers. When I attempted to install them, a message appeared that said "Scanner Utility for Microsoft Windows: Installation is not necessary, for it is already installed." and the install would close. When attempting to uninstall the Scanner Utility for Windows, the uninstall would run, but never remove it from Programs and Features in the Windows Control Panel.
To get past this problem, I needed to remove some items from the registry. Here's how it's done:
1. Hold the Windows Key and press R.
2. Type regedit, then press Enter.
3. On the left pane, select Computer at the top of the screen.
4. Select Edit > Find.
5. Type "Scanner Utility" in the Find what box, then check the Keys, Values, Data, and Match whole string only boxes.
6. Select Find.
7. The Registry Editor will search for any registry entries with the term "scanner utility". When it finds anything that references the Scanner Utility for Microsoft Windows, delete the entry.
8. Once the Registry Editor cannot find anymore entries, close the registry editor and try to install the scanner again.
With these steps, you should successfully be able to uninstall the Scanner Utility for Microsoft Windows and proceed with the installation of your scanner.

Kigurumi are made to be loose fitting and will accommodate adults and children who are at least five feet tall. However, if you're taller than six feet the wrist and ankle cuffs might not make it all the way to your wrists and ankles.
XL Kigurumi are designed to fit people over 6 feet 2 inches tall. The Regular size is best if you're under 6 feet tall. If you're in between 6 feet and 6 feet 2 inches, either size will fit, but the XL size might be a slightly better choice.
The bagginess our Kigurumis means there's a lot of room in the chest and waist. If you're concerned with fitting into one of our Kigurumis, the limiting factor is usually your shoulder width.

Vitamin D Supplements Won't Strengthen Older Women's Bones: Study
Vitamin D Supplements Won't Strengthen Older Women's Bones: Study MONDAY, Aug. 3, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- High doses of vitamin D do not appear to protect postmenopausal women from the dangers of osteoporosis, new research indicates.

Great nursery
My son has been at the nursery for just over a year. Many of the staff have worked there for years and the care they provde to my son is very good indeed. The manager is very responsive to parents' requests and communicates regularly with parents regarding matters affecting their children and the nursery as a whole very efficiently. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Wonderful nursery and great environment
The nursery always has a great happy, warm & inviting atmosphere. I've always felt the staff are working there because childcare is what they genuinely want to do, they are brilliant. The manager is fantastic & staff retention rates are extremely high. I personally have been transformed from an anxious parent who felt guilty about putting my child in a nursery to one of the view she is privaliged to be at nursery as she's gaining so much socially and it has helped her develop in so many ways.

Post office break-ins lead to year in prison
HUNTINGTON -- Grady Tillman Fannin received a 1-year, 1-day prison sentence and orders to assist in the paying of $5,592 restitution in connection with break-ins at two post offices.
Fannin, 42, of Crum had pleaded guilty to conspiracy in U.S. District Court in Huntington. He signed an agreement with prosecutors agreeing he and others conspired to break into U.S. Post Offices to steal blank money order forms and money order imprinters.
The agreement further states Fannin participated in break-ins on July 9, 2010, at the Post Office in Crum, followed by a July 21, 2010, break-in at the Breeden post office in Mingo County, W.Va.
The machines were used to create forged money orders, according to the agreement. Those forgeries were then cashed and the proceeds split among those who participated in the conspiracy.
Fannin's defense sought supervised release with no prison time. It argued Fannin's behavior stemmed from his encounter with bad influences and a prescription drug addiction born out of his work in the mining industry.
Federal prosecutors, in exchange for Fannin's admission, agreed to dismiss two counts each of post office breaking and entering, theft of money order forms and theft of money order machines.
Man admits to hiding crack in mom's purse
Jason Stewart Johnson, 28, pleaded guilty to possessing with an intent to distribute crack cocaine. It was the sole count of his indictment. Sentencing is set for March 18, 2013.
Johnson signed an agreement with federal prosecutors stating his plea stems from an Oct. 15, 2010, arrest in Huntington. That's when police stopped his vehicle near 27th Street and Highlawn Avenue in Huntington.
Investigators found 18.2 grams of crack cocaine hidden inside the purse of Johnson's mother. He admitted to owning it with an intent to sell, the agreement states.
Beyond that incident, the agreement links Johnson to at least 262.37 grams of crack cocaine. It states he had been trafficking the drug for at least four-and-a-half months. He was not charged in relation to the previous activity.

Pounds: Taxing responsibilityWritten by Tom Pounds | President / Publisher | firstname.lastname@example.com
Last year at this time, our readers held history in their hands as Toledo Free Press became the first weekly newspaper to publish Lucas County's delinquent land tax notices, at significant taxpayer savings.
This year, we're doing it again.
Inside both this and the Dec. 7 issue of Toledo Free Press, you'll find a special insert containing the list. The section will also be available online at www.toledofreepress.com in our free digital edition and at publicnoticesohio.com.
The county's delinquent land tax notices are required by law to be published each year by a newspaper of general circulation.
"The most important reason why this ad has to occur is to protect property rights," Lucas County Auditor Anita Lopez told Toledo Free Press earlier this year. "When we're saying, 'You're delinquent to the point where we can take your property,' this becomes the last call to the public to get in here and pay your taxes."
In October 2011, Gov. John Kasich signed into law Ohio House Bill 153, which broke the monopoly daily publications held on legal notices purchased with public money.
The bill eliminated the limitation that linked charging for newspapers with being permitted to publish legal notices. It opened the legal publication business to any newspaper of general circulation that publishes at least once a week and meets other criteria, including containing at least 25 percent editorial content, being published continuously for at least three years and the ability to add subscribers to its distribution list, all of which Toledo Free Press satisfies. The bill also requires a participating newspaper to offer its best classified rate.
Allowing newspapers such as Toledo Free Press to publish these notices is intended to ensure that the best rate offered by any participant in this market will be competitive. The result has been substantial savings for all who are required to publish legal notices.
A number of agencies have begun taking advantage of our lower rates to reach Lucas County taxpayers, including the Village of Ottawa Hills, City of Toledo, City of Sylvania, Monclova Township, Lucas County Metropolitan Housing Authority, Toledo Public Schools, Metroparks of Toledo Area and Washtenaw County.
During a special meeting Nov. 19, the Lucas County Commissioners voted to award this year's contract for publishing the delinquent land tax notices to Toledo Free Press after the Auditor's Office reviewed submitted bids and recommended Toledo Free Press' as the "lowest and best."
We are pleased to print and distribute this list for the second year, at significant savings for Lucas County taxpayers. We are proud that the county chose us for this important task and are confident we will do a great job, as we did last year.
Tom Pounds is president and publisher of Toledo Free Press. Contact him at email@example.com.

Coco Tembo has worked in the plating department of Flex-N-Gate Guardian West in Urbana, Ill., for about three years. His constant companion on the job is Hexavalent Chromium.
But that's no co-worker; it's a chemical the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has determined can cause the following health problems with workplace exposure:
• Lung cancer in workers who breathe airborne hexavalent chromium.
• Irritation or damage to the nose, throat and lungs (respiratory tract) if hexavalent chromium is breathed at high levels.
• Irritation or damage to the eyes and skin if hexavalent chromium contacts these organs in high concentrations.
The plating department at Tembo's Urbana plant and at Flex-N-Gate's Veedersburg, Ind., plant have bumper plating lines, both of which rely heavily on the chemical to give car bumpers that they coat their shiny, plated look. The plating process starts with a rough-surfaced bumper that's dipped into rows of tanks that coat them with nickel, chromium and other compounds, including hexavalent chromium, to give them a protective, "chrome" finish.
It looks great on the bumper, but workers at Flex-N-Gate pay a high health and safety price for that shiny gloss.
One of the more dangerous tasks they have is emptying the tanks and climbing inside to scrub them out. That puts their eyes, lungs and skin in even closer proximity to the dangerous chemicals, especially when protective procedures are enforced sporadically, if at all, and protective tools such as masks and goggles don't always work properly.
"I get a nasty taste in my mouth from breathing the chemicals in the tanks," said Tembo, "and sometimes the mist from black backcoating we spray on the bumpers gets into my eyes."
The goggles some workers wear don't fully cover their eyes.
Tembo and other co-workers at Flex-N-Gate have no voice on the job to change this dangerous situation. Joining together with other nonunionized workers at Flex-N-Gate to form their own union can improve their working conditions and safety on the job.
That's what Tembo and other nonunion Flex-N-Gate workers are hoping for.
Currently, more than 900 Flex-N-Gate workers are unionized at plants in Michigan, Illinois and Canada. Tembo and his co-workers are among those at Flex-N-Gate who aren't part of a union and now want a voice on the job, too.
The automotive supply company has been growing quickly throughout North America into a supplier of automotive parts beyond truck bumpers, including vehicle interiors, exterior plastic components and lighting.
As the company grows, the need for workers to have a voice on the job grows stronger. Unionized workers are hoping nonunion workers at several plants will join their ranks, including workers at plants in Urbana and Danville, Ill., Veedersburg and Covington, Ind., Grand Rapids and Battle Creek, Mich., Salem, Ohio, and Russellville, Ky.
The need couldn't be more urgent, where worker health and safety is at stake every day.
"We know that we work around dangerous chemicals because we read the labels and warnings," said Jules Sabin, Flex-N-Gate Guardian plating department worker in West Urbana, Ill. "The company has never told us what chemicals we are breathing and getting on our skin, or how they can make us sick."
Eight-year Flex-N-Gate truck driver Shannon Landreth, who works at the company's MasterGuard plant in Veedersburg, said he never knows what could go wrong with the truck he drives each day because the company ignores maintenance to save money.
"A lot of the fork trucks are beat up real bad and not fixed like they should be. Supervisors say it's going to cost too much to get them fixed," said Landreth.
UAW Vice President Cindy Estrada, who directs the union's Independents, Parts and Suppliers (IPS) Department, said nonunion and unionized workers alike at Flex-N-Gate realize the time is now for all workers to have a seat at the table.
"They are working hard to let workers at the other shops know that forming your own union is the right choice for workers, families and communities," Estrada said.

The Vampire Diaries
Vampire Diaries Movie Speculation: What Would It Be Like?
Let's be real: PSY could do a musical version of Vampire Diaries in Korean and we'd watch it. We wouldn't understand a word of it, but as long as Elena (Nina Dobrev), Damon (Ian Somerhalder), and Stefan (Paul Wesley) were there, we'd know what the pelvic thrusts meant.
Much like a hypothetical musical, we're going to muse about what our fave TV series hitting the big screen would be like — and we're sure it wouldn't be a total flop, not with as smoking a cast as we have. (To be clear, Nina Dobrev has said she doesn't think a feature film is in the cards for our fave show.)
Here's what we'd like to see, in a fantasy world:
- A destination outside of Mystic Falls: Not to knock the beloved town, but if you're going to the big screen you better go outside the small town confines. We're thinking vampires in Mexico or Portugal or Florida — anywhere hot so that shirts become a burden rather than a necessity.
- New mythology that throws a wrench into the vampire lair: a la The X-Files or X-Men, we'd need a new threat we haven't seen before. Something to stimulate our minds while our eyes are feasting on larger-than-life man candy.
- Hot new mythical creatures: Be they witches, Originals, vampires, hybrids, werewolves, or something else entirely, we don't care — just bring on some fresh movie actor meat and we'll watch with a bucket of popcorn.
Those are a few of our bucket list items, tell us what you'd want to see in a Vampire Diaries movie below!

Shawna Lenee - Free Photo Gallery
6 photo sets of Shawna Lenee
106 photos in this set
3 videos of Shawna Lenee
The first word that comes to mind when I see Shawna is festive. She's high energy, and I can imagine her being the life of the party. We balanced strobe light with day light to illuminate Shawna in these pictures. Reason being, the high summer sun was creating shadows, which didn't allow for Shawna's beautiful blue eyes to pop the way they should. Flash a strobe on her face, and bam! magic eyes. -Mark Lit

Just curious - is this a new set of Shawna and is she back modelling? Last industry news I could find was she got married in May of this year and had a baby girl in October 2011, and was happily retired. She's always been a favorite of mine so would love to see her modelling again. And either way this set was totally awesome.

All you need is a small knife and a bell pepper. If you want to get fancy, you can use both a big knife and a small knife.
Step 1: Gather your materials...
a bell pepper or similar
a small knife
a large knife (optional)
a place to cut
Step 2: Cut off the top of the bell pepper
Step 3: Cut out the center of the pepper.
Using the small knife, cut these connecting pieces. In the photo, I've cut the top two and left the bottom one attached. Be sure to cut all the connecting pieces.
Step 4: Pull out the center of the bell pepper.
As you can see, the bell pepper is completely seed free inside. If you have any seeds that have fallen into the bell pepper cavity, simply invert the pepper and shake them out.
Cut the extra flesh off of the top, leaving the stem. Compost stem and seeds.
You are now ready to cut and enjoy your bell pepper!

If you want a crisp 1080p signal from your iPhone or iPad, the best bet is to plug it in directly using Apple's own $49 digital AV adapter. Unfortunately, it seems that this latest iteration of the device — designed to work with the new Lightning connector — isn't putting out full 1080p. Even worse, it seems that it is introducing noticeable compression artifacts. Now comes the search for truth amongst all of the internet rage this is kicking up among Apple enthusiasts.

Review Categories 2010
Review Categories 2004-2009
You can have the greatest haunt in the world, but if it only takes a couple minutes to go through people won't feel as if they got their money's worth. The average haunt lasts between 10-15 minutes.
Many years ago it was widely accepted that haunts used cheap plastic black walls, blood splattered sheets or used heavy fog to cover up a lack of detail and stood by old tired themes. But today is a new day and many haunts have created realistic rooms that look like they are straight out of Hollywood.
When speaking of props I'm not referring to cheap rubber snakes or bats you can find at your local Halloween store. The high quality haunts of today invest thousands upon thousands of dollars on animatronics that Walt Disney would be proud of. But they are not always necessary. Some of the best haunts have decor that costs very little, but blends in with scenes very well. While some haunts create their own props that are impressive in their own right.
Actors are one of the most important aspects of a haunt and if you don't have engaging characters that really love to scare people your haunt will not be effective. A great actor is better than a $10,000 animatronic any day.
Scare Effect
The biggest reason you are purchasing a ticket for a haunt is to get scared. Rather it's from a pnuematic prop or an actor dressed up as a monster from your worst nightmares, it doesn't matter. A scary haunt is an experience you won't soon forget.
Customer Service (new for 2009)
This category isn't averaged into the final score.
When you plan to visit a haunt you want to be treated well. Because if the staff doesn't want to be there then why should you. Customer service isn't just how you are treated. It involves how the parking is ran, the different concessions that are available and much more.
Fright Value (This category isn't averaged into the final score.)
There are some haunts out there that charge an arm and a leg, but don't deliver when it comes to scares. People today want to get what they pay for and not feel cheated after they exit your haunt. It's not ok to charge upwards of $20, but only be worth $10. A haunt should charge what it's worth.
Final Stab
After all of the ratings for each category are averaged, the final score will be available in what we call Final Stab. This is the total score a haunt recieves and our final thoughts.

STEFANO, Italy 2/3/12 (PennWell) -- Cable manufacturer Tratos Cavi Spa has been awarded a multi-million-dollar contract to supply low- and high-voltage cable for the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
The 6,800-MW hydropower plant is on the Nile River in northwestern Ethiopia and is expected to be complete by 2017, according to a Tratos release. When complete, it will be the largest hydro project in Africa and feature two powerhouses with a combined 15 turbines.
Tratos says it was awarded the contract by Salini Construttori Spa, which was named contractor for the US$4.76 billion project in April 2011.

Man in court over explosions in North Staffordshire
Posted: November 23, 2012|
A SIXTH suspect has appeared in court in connection with a series of explosions across North Staffordshire.
The blasts occurred at three addresses in Blythe Bridge, Cheadle and Weston Coyney on Friday August 3.
Martin Drewery, of Sandy Lane, Brown Edge, appeared before North Staffordshire Magistrates charged with conspiracy to blackmail yesterday.
The 42-year-old was sent to Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court, where he will appear on December 19, alongside five other suspects.
They are Andrew Boal, aged 32, of Ballygowan, Newtonards, Edvinas Sermutenes, aged 30, of Belfast, Jason Taft, aged 40, of Bagnall, Thomas Leslie, aged 54, of County Down, and Thomas Leslie, aged 34, also of County Down.
Two other men have been released on police bail after being questioned in connection with the blasts.
They are a 32-year-old from Baddeley Green and a 45-year-old from Cheadle.
At an earlier court hearing, prosecutor Robert Price said the matter was a 'complex investigation.'

Egg Drop - Newton's Law of Inertia
The Egg Drop is a classic science demonstration that illustrates Newton's Laws of Motion, namely inertia. The challenge sounds so simple... just get the egg into the glass of water, but there are a few obstacles. The egg is perched high above the water on a cardboard tube, and a pie plate sits between the tube and the water. Still think it's easy? Sir Isaac Newton does.
- Cardboard tube
- Pie pan
- Eggs
- Water
- A large drinking glass
- Tray (optional)
- Coloring Tablets (optional)
Warning: Always wash your hands well with soap and water after handling raw eggs. Some raw eggs contain salmonella bacteria that can make you really sick!
- Fill the large drinking glass about three-quarters full with water.
- Center a pie pan on top of the glass.
- Place the cardboard tube on the pie plate, positioning it directly over the water.
- Carefully set the egg on top of the cardboard tube.
- With your writing hand, smack the edge of the pie pan horizontally. Don't swing up, and don't swing down! It's important that you hit the pie pan horizontally and use a pretty solid hit, so plan on chasing the plate and tube.
- Your astonished guests will watch the egg plop nicely into the water. It's even more fun to watch someone else try to drop the egg. Science is so cool!
Take It Further!
- Try setting up a tray (like one that you would get from a fast food restaurant) on top of five glasses. USe five tubes and five eggs and see if you are an egg drop master! *HINT* The angle that you hit the tray from can make all the difference.
- Add coloring to the water in your egg drop for added effect.
- Try testing longer tubes, more or less water, different liquids in the glass, different water containers, and heavier or lighter falling objects.
How Does It Work?
Credit for this one has to go to Sir Isaac Newton and his First Law of Motion. He said that since the egg is not moving while it sits on top of the tube, that's what it wants to do - not move. You applied enough force to the pie pan to cause it to zip out from under the cardboard tube (there's not much friction against the drinking glass). The edge of the pie pan hooked the bottom of the tube, which then sailed off with the pan. Basically, you knocked the support out from under the egg. For a brief nanosecond or two, the egg didn't move because it was already stationary (not moving). But then, as usual, the force of gravity took over and pulled the egg straight down toward the center of the Earth.
Also, according to Mr. Newton's First Law, once the egg was moving, it didn't want to stop. The container of water interrupted the egg's fall, providing a safe place for the egg to stop moving so you could recover it unbroken. The gravity-pushed egg caused the water to splash out. Did someone get wet?
Customer Reviews
- Preschool Egg Drop Review by Miss Donna
This demonstration was a huge hit with my 4 year-old group!
We found that a plastic Easter egg with a few pennies inside (4 or 5) made a great "pratice egg." With a no mess egg alternative, I was able to let each child take a whack or two at the pie pan! (ducking the flying pan became another favorite part of this activity) Thanks!
(Posted on March 16, 2011)
- Rotational Motion Review by CJP
It's important to note that it is not only inertia that keeps the egg from flying away like the pan and the tube did. You only hit the pan- so why did the tube go flying? Because the edge of the pan hit it. So why didn't the tube then hit the egg and send it flying in the same direction as the pan and tube? The tube is hit on the lower edge, so it rotates (rotational motion) as it is flying away (translational motion). This rotational motion causes it to roll out from under the egg which then allows gravity to take over and drop the egg straight down into the water.

- Great experiment!! Review by cathy
My second grade son had to do a "how to" presentation and we decided on this experiment. His presentation for the whole class was flawless. He then asked for a volunteer from the class to try the experiment...went flawless again. Then he had the teacher try! She wasn't listening to well to the directions given by her student, my son, and she smacked the pie plate and the glass over in one big swoop of her arm sending the egg and water flying!! It was hilarious. After a few more attempts she finally got it. I guess she needs a few tips on listening:)

Dancing With the Stars 2013: Is Kellie Pickler This Season's Winner? (PHOTO)
Dancing With the Stars Season 16 hasn't even started yet, but we're already placing our bets on Derek Hough and Kellie Pickler going far. Why, you ask? Because this girl's got moves.
ABC released some sneak peek pics of the star/pro pairs rehearsing in the DWTS studios, and we couldn't help but notice that in this particular photo (above), Kellie's doing some kind of inhuman standing split. Are those Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman's legs on Kellie's body?!
Aside from being able to stretch like a champ, Kellie has the major advantage of being paired with Derek. The blond pro is super popular, and his choreography skills are top-notch.
Do you guys agree with our prediction, or do you think we're totally off? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
Dancing With the Stars Season 16 premieres March 18, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
