There are some top companies on the market today in the stainless steel cookware sector. Cuisinart is one of these companies as is All-Clad stainless steel cookware. Each of these companies prides itself in creating cookware products that will stand the test of time as well as the test of the pickiest kitchens. The Cuisinart stainless steel cookware sets will usually cost from two hundred fifty dollars to the high price of four hundred dollars in the Chef’s Classic sets that they have. The Cuisinart brand of stainless steel cookware can be found in some department stores that also sell kitchenware such as Macy’s. There are many different styles that can be found in this brand of cookware so that the style of the kitchen can be matched as well as the uses that the chef wants to have in his cookware.

The top of the line Cuisinart stainless steel cookware set costs about four hundred dollars but it has many qualities that the lesser sets do not have. This set has an eight and ten inch skillet so that a wide variety of dishes can be prepared, including crepes and omelets. There is also a one and a half and a three quart covered saucepan in the set in addition to a three and a half quart saut pan with a helper handle. To top off the set, there is an eight quart stock pot that comes with a lid.

Many of the lesser brands of cookware will not give a whole lot of thought to the lids that are used. With the Cuisinart stainless steel cookware sets, the lids are clear, made from glass so that the interior of the pot can be seen throughout the cooking process. The lids also fit tightly with a seal so that the flavors are locked in while cooking. These pots and pans can also be used in the oven up to five hundred fifty degrees in the top sets. this is about one hundred fifty degrees higher than cheaper cookware sets can handle if they are oven safe. In addition, the Cuisinart stainless steel cookware sets are made to be able to go into the dishwasher for easy cleanup. They can also be used as storage, since they are safe to put in the refrigerator and also in the freezer when needed.

Thought is also put into the shape of the rims of the Cuisinart stainless steel cookware sets. The rims are made so that the materials in the pot can easily be poured without dripping since they are tapered.

Illegal drug found to be used in the manufacture of toys

Wednesday, November 7, 2007

Bindeez beads, a children’s toy from Australia and manufactured by Moose Enterprise in Hong Kong, is being pulled off toy store shelves in the United Kingdom after traces of an illegal drug, which is converted into gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) when ingested, was found inside the toy. At least 20 million toys are affected.

So far at least three children from the U.K. and at least two from Auckland, New Zealand have fallen seriously ill and are currently receiving medical attention. The toy is also sold in the United States as Aqua Dots, with two reports received by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) of children needing hospitalization after ingesting the beads.

“We’ve asked all our customers to take them off the shelf while we retest everything to make sure the toys comply with all regulations,” said the company in a statement, although no mandatory recall has been issued for the product. The statement also says that the plant in Hong Kong was not using a chemical mixture approved by the company.

“This substitution was not at any time approved by Moose nor was Moose made aware of any substitution by the supplier,” added the statement.

The toys were supposed to contain a non-toxic chemical known as 1,5-pentanediol, but instead 1,4-butanediol, which is mainly used in creating the illegal drug GHB, was used in the toys. When humans consume 1,4-butanediol, the body converts it into GHB and could make the individual seriously ill, causing headaches, seizures, dizziness and in some cases death. GHB is a natural chemical found in a variety of things such as beef, wine and some varieties of citrus fruits. It is also used as a pharmaceutical which is sold as Xyrem.

Recent animal research indicates that drugs are available for human use which may work as antidotes to the poison, either by hindering its conversion to GHB with 4-methylpyrazole (fomepizole, Antizol) or by blocking GHB’s effectiveness at the receptor (SCH 50911). Rodent testing has found the lethal dose of 1,4-butanediol to range from 1.4 to 2.5 grams per kilogram body weight, but an antidote can increase the lethal dose by a factor of 10.

It is not known how the chemicals got mixed up, but officials for the toy company say that they are continuing the investigation. The toy is currently banned in all of Australia, but the company says all those who bought it will be refunded their money.

“The issue of how a dangerous substance was used in these beads and not the non-toxic substance … that is going to take us a few more days to uncover,” said Australia’s Fair Trade Minister, Linda Burney in a statement to the press.

The toy was recently named Australia’s number one toy for 2007.

Teräsbetoni frontman J. Ahola on representing Finland at Eurovision 2008 & more

Sunday, April 13, 2008

 This article is a featured article. It is considered one of the best works of the Wikinews community. See Wikinews:Featured articles for more information.

Teräsbetoni means “steel-reinforced concrete”, and is also the name of a Finnish heavy metal band formed in 2002. Their music, which centres on an honourable warrior lifestyle or on metal itself, quickly became popular in 2003 on the Internet, resulting in a petition by fans being sent to several record labels demanding a recording deal. In late 2004 the band signed to Warner Music Finland, and the following year debut single Taivas lyö tulta rose to number one in the Finnish charts, and debut album Metallitotuus hit number two and went platinum, and has now sold about 47,000 copies.

The band, who sing exclusively in Finnish, have just released their third album, Myrskyntuoja. The lead single on this album is Missä miehet ratsastaa, which Teräsbetoni decided to enter in the Finnish selections for the 2008 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, where it was selected to go on to the semi-final in Belgrade, Serbia as Finland’s representative this year. Although Finland has seen limited success in the contest, their only victory was with a comparable group. In 2006 hard rock band Lordi – whose monster costumes and pyrotechnic displays are famed – achieved a record 292 points in the final with Hard Rock Hallelujah.

Teräsbetoni’s frontman, vocalist and bass guitarist Jarkko Ahola’s fame extends beyond the band he heads. He also features in Finnish symphonic power metal cover supergroup Northern Kings, alongside Marco Hietala of Nightwish and Tarot, Tony Kakko of Sonata Arctica and Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto of Charon.

Wikinews was able to conduct an exclusive interview with Jarkko Ahola to discuss these various achievements. This interview is now published below for the first time.

Car maker DeLorean dies at 80

Monday, March 21, 2005

Automobile industry pioneer, John DeLorean, died Saturday in a New Jersey hospital by complications from a stroke.

DeLorean was born in 1925 in Detroit, Michigan to European immigrant parents. He received an education in automotive engineering and quickly rose through the ranks of Packard and later General Motors (GM). DeLorean was credited with the development of the Pontiac GTO, which helped introduce the era of “muscle cars”. By 1965, DeLorean led the entire Pontiac division, and four years later was promoted to the prestigious position of leading GM’s Chevrolet.

In 1973, DeLorean quit General Motors and started his own company, the De Lorean Motor Company. The company’s product was the DMC-12, an unusual car featuring an unpainted, stainless-steel exterior and gull-wing doors. The company started production in 1981 but failed less than two years later, having produced under 9,000 vehicles. Despite the company’s failure and the car’s dismal sales, the car itself gained a cult following after the release of the 1985 movie Back to the Future which featured the car as a time-travel machine.

DeLorean himself was in nearly as much trouble as his company. In 1982 he was arrested for attempting to sell $24 million worth of cocaine to undercover police, and after his company’s failure, he became involved in a multitude of lawsuits alleging investor fraud. Though DeLorean successfully resolved the cocaine case after claiming entrapment, his other legal cases would drag on until 1999, when he declared bankruptcy.

Potential Wikia mass exodus

Friday, August 1, 2008

Recently Wikia, a commercial company co-founded by Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley, announced that it would be making changes in the appearances of its wikis, specifically making advertising more prominent. This change to mix advertising directly into the content has led many Wikia hosted sites to begin discussions regarding leaving Wikia hosting for their own. As Wikia’s business model hinges entirely upon user-generated content, large numbers of sites leaving could leave Wikia in financial trouble. Wikia has lost editors and volunteer “janitors” as a result of this.

Some changes were made to make sure Wikia doesn’t lose its community; one of them being the ability for logged-in users to turn off advertisements in their personal preferences, which would eliminate the ads from all other pages except the main pages of different Wikia wikis. However, this didn’t help much and several wikis, most notably the Transformers Wiki advised their users to switch to Firefox browser and install the AdBlock plugin to remove advertisements. The problem was the excessive advertisements on every content pages which most of the Wikia communities didn’t agree with.

Since the new Monaco skin version 3.1. was rolled out across all Wikia-hosted wikis, Wikia introduced a set of “main page column tags” meant to aid in main page designing while minding Wikia’s new advertisements. Most, if not all Wikia’s English-language wikis, such as Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki, Wiki 24 and WoWWiki have converted their main pages to use these new main page column tags. Wikia’s “helpers”, people working as interns for Wikia, have helped to convert wikis to the new main page layout. However, some wikis, such as the Transformers Wiki opposed the change to their main pages and thus refused to convert their main page to use the main page column tags. Newly-created Wikia wikis will have a main page that has the main page column tags by default.

Certain Wikia-hosted communities have criticized their host for trying to make Wikia look like one big website to please the advertisers when the communities would prefer to stay independent from other Wikia’s wikis.

During the rollout of the new Monaco skin, the phrase “Wikia will never host pop-up adverts.” was removed from Wikia’s terms of use and later reinstated into the terms. Several users thought that this might hint of upcoming pop-up ads at Wikia.

How To Know If Your Eyeglasses Fit Properly}

Submitted by: Adrianna Notton

Even though it may be more important when wearing contact lenses, fit is still an important factor when you are wearing eyeglasses. It is true that the lens of a contact sits directly on your cornea, but an ill-fitting pair of glasses can still cause you problems. Most of the issues that result from glasses not fitting properly have to do with pain. Youll feel pressure in your head, on the bridge of your nose and in your eyes if glasses are too small.

If your eyeglasses are too big, you may have trouble keeping them on your face and youll spend more time trying to see with no prescription because the lenses arent where theyre supposed to be. The optician at the glasses place will likely take some time to ensure you have a proper fit, but there are also a few ways you can know if your eyeglasses fit properly.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ml1-rlYSy0[/youtube]

The easiest way to know if your glasses dont fit right is if they are too big and they slide down your nose as soon as you put them on. If you dont notice any glaring signs like that, it make take a little more investigation to find out if they fit properly or not. When the glasses are sitting on your face, each eye should be looking through the center of each lens. If that isnt happening, you could use an adjustment. You might notice that your peripheral vision is affected or there is a glare on the things youre looking at, which indicates the eyeglasses are either too big or too small. If your eyes seem to be in the right spot, leave the glasses on for a few minutes, then take them off and take a look at your nose. If you see any red marks or indentations where the glasses were sitting on your nose, they arent fitting your face properly.

Most of figuring out whether the glasses fit properly is through feel. Pay attention to how they feel on your temples, on your nose and around your ears. If you can feel any pressure or pain in your head, youll need an adjustment. When youre there with the optician, she can make minor adjustments after each check to slowly get just the right fit. The optician will also help you choose a set of frames that match your overall face shape. Picking out a pair of eyeglasses designed for a square face when you have a round face is a sure way to find glasses that dont fit right.

It can definitely take some tinkering, but once you have a pair of new glasses that fit your face perfectly, youll be more likely to wear them more often. Keep an open mind when searching for new glasses, because what you envision and what fits are sometimes two different things. Choose comfort over fashion if it comes to that, because your eyeglasses wont do you any good if your days are filled with headaches and other problems.

I Am Still My Fathers Little Child}

I am still my fathers little child

by

Selina

Are you willing to tell this for daddy?

This is the worst things. I am only 17 years, its hard to tell mother that I have a baby, and personally told the story to my father is impossible. My dad has always been an inexhaustible source of courage. He was always proud of me, and I always try to make him proud in a way of life until this happened. Now, everything will be destroyed. I’m no longer daddy’s little girl, he would not re-use the same kind of attitude towards me. I sighed in frustration, leaning on mother’s body for comfort.

When I told the story to your father, I have to take you to somewhere else. You know that is why.

Yes, mom, because he would not like to watch me, that is the reason.

That night, I stay with the church clergy, Lu. At that time, he is the only person that makes me feel comfortable. When mother returned home and phoned me that my father still at work, and Lu priest advised me in my side to comfort me.

All of this is so unreal. At that time, stay with a people who will not judge me is so comfortable for me. We pray, talk, I began to accept and understand the road in front of me. Then I saw the car from the window lights.

Mother take me home and I know my father could be with her. I was so scared. I ran out of the living room and rushed into the little bathroom, closed the door and locked it.

Lu priests followed behind me softly rebuked me: “girl, you cannot do that, sooner or later you have to face him. Without you, he will not go home. Do not, out of it.” “Well, but you are willing to stay with me? I’m afraid. “

Of course, my girl.

I opened the door, and slowly returned to the living room along with Lu priest. Mom and dad have not yet come. I think they are sitting in the car to give dad a little time to prepare, so when he saw me knew what to do or say. Mom knew how much I fear. I am not afraid my father would yell at me or to my rage, I am afraid of is showing in his eyes to the tragedy.

They are back. I hid behind the priest in the Lu. Mother hung Lu and her eyes are soaked in tears and some swelling. She did not cry in front of me. Then, I saw my father. He stood there, he did not even shake hands with Lu priest, only when passing from his side and nodded to him. He came up to me with his strong arm crowd in my arms, hold me tight and whispered in my ear, “I love you! I love you, I also will love your baby. “He did not cry, but I feel that he was shaking. I knew he was struggling to control his feeling, and I therefore am proud of him and thank him. I saw in his eyes the light of love and pride. Even in that difficult time, he love me and proud of me.

I am sorry daddy but I love you, very.

I am still daddys little girl. In this spirit armed with weapons, the world that I cannot climb the mountain , not I can not stand the rain.

Thank you, dad.

How Sand And Water Play Is Helpful To Kids}

Submitted by: Harry Yadav

Playing with water and sand is something most of the parents restrict their kids from. Most of them consider this type of games as dirty, but like everything else; it also has some positive aspects. However, actually playing with sand and water is not only something that kids are attracted to, but it also helps in their progress.

Sand and water game is not only meant for the beach. Take opportunities to help your kid play and learn something with water at home while taking bath, in the kitchen sink, or, in nice climate, in a paddling pond. Sand games at home need good weather conditions and a plot.

No special kinds of toys are essential for water games. Use a colander, a sponge, jugs and containers, a whisk, or other stuffs you have on hand to educate kids with the help of playing with water, according to Topmarks Education. Reprocess boxes and food containers to make use of as sand moulds that will help your kid to build up manipulative skills. You can even reuse a tire for a biodegradable home-produced sandbox. Of course, remember the plastic bucket and spade.

From trouble-free, pleasurable games kids learn a broad range of talents, beginning with motor skills and hand-eye management from pouring water to decorating items in the sand. They begin learning science from the actions of water at the time when it is poured from one jug to another and from floating and dipping bits and pieces. Playing in sand can help with counting and measurement skills, shape assessment, and “less” and “more” ideas.

When you are providing your kid with the instructions of early math and science ideas all the way through sand and water games, you are helping your kid to improve vocabulary and communication skills as well. Ask the little one, questions and get him to make prophecies regarding the actions of water as it moves from one container to another one of a special size or shape. Take two items and question your kid which will go under the water and which will float. Your kid’s inquisitiveness will make teaching and learning science an easy task.

Kids learn social skills from the games based on sand and water. Sandbox games with other kids need collaboration and sharing even as role playing motivate the thoughts. Creative water game can contain teaching ideas of care and maintain hygiene by bathing a doll in a small basin.

Sand and water games give rise to the level of creativity in kids. Show your kids how to make outline and shape with sand moulds and models in the sand with their fingers or stuffs such as combs or a small plastic rake. Put some sand on a plate to use it indoor and make learning to mark out letters and numbers added fun. Sand and water games or activities are things that even you can do with your kids that combine amusement, knowledge, creativeness, and you can spend quality time with your children as well.
