Do not like Mayo.  Need Miracle Whip and Ketchup would be better. I have put Miracle Whip and Ketchup on my hamburgers for years

I heard they may introduce slices of Ketchup ( like cheese slices).
I think those may have a better chance of making it the in market. Nothing is more disgusting than using a ketchup squeeze bottle and seeing all the caked ketchup on the lid and flap.

You Need to Stop Throwing Away Eggshells. Here's Why.
Taste of Home By Joann Pann, Freelance Writer2 days ago    
        Why you should put eggshells in your coffee TODAY :00  

(Via TODAY)  
Maybe it's just good old-fashioned thriftiness, but these days it falls on us all to take a second look at things we might have thrown away yesteryear. (It's one of the saving secrets we learned from Grandma!)  With this in mind, we've collected a few uses for that staple of trashcans everywhere: the egg shell.
 
© Provided by Taste of Home eggshells 1. Fertilize the Garden
Rinse and remove the clear inner membrane of eggshells. Store dry eggshells in a large, secure container. We promise it won't stink. (If you're eating these tasty omelettes regularly, the jar will fill up quickly!) Mash them down to fine bits with a steel or wooden spoon. Then you can load up on eggshells again. Once the spring temperatures soften the soil, you can sprinkle and mix the ground eggshells you've been saving into your garden for a great source of calcium carbonate for the soil. An added bonus: they reduce soil acidity.
Here's 9 more ways to grow a greener backyard.  
 
2. Create a Non-Toxic Abrasive Cleaner
You vowed to steer clear of powdered household and industrial cleaners (goodbye, Ajax!) but have no clue what to use instead of these powerful chemicals. We spotted a non-toxic and gentle-on-your-nose cleaner on RealFoodRN.com.
Firstly, collect the eggshells of about a dozen eggs. Once you're ready to prepare the cleaner, wash the eggshells and line them up on a baking sheet. Dry the shells outside in the sun or on low heat in the oven for a few minutes. Use a mortar and pestle, coffee grinder or high-speed blender to blend into a fine paste. You should have about 1 cup of powder. In a mason jar, add 3 cups baking soda to the eggshell powder. To clean, just mix the powder with vinegar (or water). Use this formula on pots and pans (with baked-on food), shower doors (with months of gunk), toilet bowl rings and grout.
Try 50 clever ways to clean with baking soda.  
 
3. Start the Herb Garden of Your Dreams
Daydream about covering every inch of your winter home with happy, green indoor plants? Here's one step to realizing that dream. For your next weekend brunch, cook up a super yummy egg dish (eggs benedict casserole is always a winner). When cracking each egg, cut the top of the shell and pour the egg out of the shell to preserve most of the length of the eggshell. Gently rinse before storing. Remember to save the egg carton—this is where your herb starter plants will grow.
Once the shells have dried, use a sharp needle or awl to poke a hole in the bottom of each (for water drainage). Place an eggshell in each carton divot. Fill each most of the way with soil. Place seeds into soil, according to seed-sowing instructions. Mist soil with spray bottle and keep carton in full sun. Water regularly and keep an eye out for sprouts. Once it's time to transfer into a pot or garden, you can transplant as-is. Psst! Learn how to start your garden using Starbucks cups, here.
 
 
4. Remove Stains From Thermos
If you use a metal thermos, you've totally experienced this problem: A brown film on the inside of your favorite beverage container. And no matter how hard you scrub, there's no diminishing the patina. Here's a solution…you guessed it: eggshells. Add a combination of warm or hot water and crushed eggshells about a third of the way. Close thermos and shake well for a few minutes. The mixture should help break down stains.
 
 
5. Make DIY Sidewalk Chalk
Win the best mom award (for the millionth time, right?) and attempt homemade sidewalk chalk with these recipes from The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. The main ingredients are eggshells, flour and food coloring. We can promise it will be fun—but we can't promise it won't be messy.
 
 
6. Add to Coffee Grounds to Mellow Out Brew
If your roommate (or husband) complains about the coffee being too bitter—but you still have a pound of coffee in the pantry, try this tried-and-true hack. Mix in a crumbled eggshell (that has been throughly rinsed in vinegar and then water, and dried) to the coffee grounds tomorrow morning. The eggshells, rich in alkaline calcium carbonate, help neutralize some of the coffee's acidity.
 
Psst! Here are more surprising things to add to your cup o' joe.
 
7. Feed the Birds
You can also be an incredible neighbor to your local birds with this great tip from Birds and Blooms. When you have enough eggshells to cover a baking tray, bake them at around 250 degrees until dry. They will be brittle enough to crush easily. Spread the mixture in a feeder or on the ground for birds to munch on. It's a great source of calcium for the birds—especially for females during the spring, prime time for laying eggs.
With all these great ways to recycle empty eggshells, you're this much closer to a more sustainable household.                                                                                                                                                                   SEE VIDEO ;

SCIENCE 11 hours ago Photo of fiery bubble that stretches 65 feet in the air stuns the Internet
By Jennifer Earl | Fox News   A "rare" lava-dome fountain spews lava in Hawaii on October 11, 1969.  (J.B. Judd/USGS)
A red-hot bubble was caught on camera spewing out steaming hot lava 65 feet in the air -- and the Internet wants to know more.
    The United States Geological Survey (USGS) shared the picture on "Throwback Thursday" last week to highlight a "rare" lava-dome fountain that was spotted in Hawaii on October 11, 1969.
"Dome fountain of episode 10, October 10–13, 1969, eruption of Kilauea Volcano," USGS tweeted. "Symmetrical dome fountains such as this are rare."
Lava domes -- or volcanic domes -- vary in size and shape. They can reach up to 1,640 feet high, but typically stay within ranges of 30 to 320 feet, according to the USGS.
They're also pretty common. They're formed by viscous (gooey) magma that piles up around the opening of the volvano, also known as the "vent," according to research compiled by Oregon State.
"Like lava flows, they typically do not have enough gas or pressure to erupt explosively, although they may sometimes be preceded or followed by explosive activity," Oregon State explained in a blog post. "However, unlike lava flows, the lava that forms domes is often to thick and sticky to flow very far, and thus instead pile up thick and high around the vent."
  This 1969 dome developed during the eruption of Mauna Ulu -- a volcanic cone in the eastern rift zone of the active Kīlauea volcano, the youngest on the island. Lava flowed fairly consistently in the location from May 24, 1969 to July 22, 1974.
"[It was] the longest-lasting and most voluminous eruption on Kīlauea's flank in at least 2200 years," according to USGS, noting that the eruption stretched a total of 1,774 days.
Over that time period, a shocking 350 million cubic meters of lava was produced. That's enough to fill "140,000 Olympic-size swimming pools," LiveScience noted.
But Mauna Ulu's record-long eruption has since been beat.
Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō, another volcanic cone on Kīlauea's east rift, has been pouring out lava for the past 35 years, starting in 1983.
"[It] ranks as the longest and most voluminous known outpouring of lava from Kīlauea Volcano's East Rift Zone in more than 500 years," USGS says. "Lava fountains and flows have profoundly altered the landscape and repeatedly challenged residents with lava inundation."
While Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō is impressive, it's still overshadowed by Mauna Ulu, as the location of that volcanic cone is more easily seen.
"The Mauna Ulu eruption was more accessible to the public, with a viewing platform established at one point to observe a lava lake in the crater," USGS said.
The sight has certainly wowed the Internet, with hundreds liking the image and several commenting on the photo on Twitter.
"I had no idea...very sci-fi!" one user wrote.
"This is so sexy," another added.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            SEE TWEET ;      http://www.foxnews.com/science/2018/04/04/photo-fiery-bubble-that-stretches-65-feet-in-air-stuns-internet.html

I don't guess there has been any news about this since the one year anniversary, but I wanted to fill you guys in on what is happening around the industry. Big changes nationwide this year, and the focus is beginning to shift from the landfills to the producers.  I have been on many conference calls, been in many meetings, talked to many drivers, and the most often repeated phrase is "that landfill up in Pennsylvania  "
 It may not be making much news up there, but it sent ripples across the entire country 

Explorers find 119-year-old shipwreck at the bottom of Lake Erie                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                FOX News

A 119-year-old shipwreck has been found at the bottom of Lake Erie.
The wooden steam barge Margaret Olwill sank in 50 feet of water during a nor’ester in 1899. Eight people died, including the captain, his wife and their 9-year-old son.
The National Museum of the Great Lakes in Toledo announced the discovery on Thursday.
“It was a major disaster back in 1899 when it sank,” shipwreck hunter Rob Ruetschele said, according to The Toledo Blade.
Ruetschele, a member of Cleveland Underwater Exploerers, said he thought he found the Olwill in 1989. Sonar later showed that what he had discovered was a heap of rocks near a sunken tree trunk.
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/explorers-find-119-year-old-shipwreck-at-the-bottom-of-lake-erie/ar-BBKltpU?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=HPCDHPHe continued the quest, using historical records to map a 60-square mile search area off Ohio.
“I dove in the night I found it,” he said, according to the paper.
The Olwill was hauling 900 tons of limestone to Cleveland when it sank.
The four survivors clung to floating wreckage and were tossed by Lake Erie’s waves for hours, Fox 8 Cleveland reported.
One man was described as “more dead than alive” when he was rescued, according to the station.
Rescuers tried to save another man but he was too weak from exposure to grab a rope that was tossed to him and drowned.

Taiwan's 8-hour rainbow declared world's longest-lasting by Guinness
  By Ben Hooper  |  March 16, 2018 at 12:03 PM .tw_if iframe{vertical-align: bottom;}         March 16 (UPI) -- Guinness World Records is officially recognizing a rainbow recorded by a university in Taiwan as the longest-lasting on record, appearing for 8 hours, 58 minutes.
The record-keeping organization announced a ceremony is being planned for Saturday at Taipei's Chinese Culture University, where professors in the Department of Atmospheric Science documented the Nov. 30, 2017, rainbow.
   
One of the professors, Chou Kun-hsuan, said the rainbow was visible from 6:57 a.m. until 3:55 p.m., smashing the record set by a 1994 rainbow in Wetherby, England, that lasted for 6 hours.
"It was amazing... It felt like a gift from the sky... It's so rare!" Chou told the BBC in December, when the university announced it was submitting evidence of the rainbow to Guinness.
The ceremony Saturday is expected to be attended by CCU professors and students as well as members of the Guinness World Records committee, Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau chief, the Taipei City Tourism Bureau director and the director of the Yangming Mountain National Park Service.                                                                                                                                                                                                              SEE VIDEO ;  https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2018/03/16/Taiwans-8-hour-rainbow-declared-worlds-longest-lasting-by-Guinness/1211521215903/?utm_source=sec&utm_campaign=sl&utm_medium=11

Dog showers are the latest home trend — and they're surprisingly practical
The things we do for our pets ...
by Julie Pennell / Mar.14.2018 / 1:35 PM ET / Source: TODAY They look happy!Jeff Herr; Courtesy Harrison Design / Courtesy Harrison Design       Ask any pet owner and they'll tell you: Furry friends are just as much a part of the family as actual humans.
  And this interior design trend proves it.
A recent New York Times report pointed out that there’s a growing demand for designated showers for dogs in homes. Yes, you read that right: dog showers. Instead of giving pups a bath in the regular tub, some are opting to build a separate shower just for their pooch.
As excessive as it might sound, it does make sense. William Harrison, principal architect of Harrison Design, said his firm has been designing dog showers for clients for many years.
“In the beginning, some clients asked us to design a shower with a higher platform so they could more comfortably wash their dog,” he told TODAY Home. “Now it’s morphed into a highly desired feature.”
  The appeal of a dog shower is usually for bigger breeds, not Yorkies, he explained.
 The steps make it easy for Titan to get up on his washstand, and the shower features professional-level equipment. (Architecture: Harrison Design) David Christensen; Courtesy Harrison Design “You try bathing a big dog at home; it’s a big mess! Not only is the dog unhappy in the tub, but the suds, fur and water get everywhere," Harrison said. It can also be unsafe as wet dogs can get hurt trying to jump out of a slippery bathtub.
Most people add their dog showers to a mudroom or laundry room, and it’s actually not that costly to add a plumbing line to those areas, said Hannah Crowell of Nashville’s Crowell & Co. Interiors and a Trulia Design Panelist.
Crowell is so into the idea of dog showers, she’s actually adding one to her home for her two retrievers. “I am almost more excited about the dog shower than I am about my own bathroom,” she told TODAY.
          Little kids and their big dogs make a delightful pair
00:43     Her pups love digging holes in her backyard, so they’re always covered in dirt. “I would much rather bathe them in a designated dog shower than have them track mud all through the home,” she said, adding that with a dog shower, the mess is contained and you don’t have to worry about doing a deep clean of the bathtub afterwards.
  Obviously a dog shower can be handy for those who have dogs, but does it won't hurt the resale value of a home if prospective buyers don’t have pets.
“I truly think that a dog shower only adds to the value of the home,” she said. “Even if you don’t have pets, a dog shower can be used for many other practical uses, like rinsing off dirty kids or muddy boots, and are great for easy cleanup from messy craft projects.”
Great for Fido and your bottom line!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   SEE RELATED VIDEO ;     https://www.today.com/home/dog-showers-new-home-trend-t125012

This dog was returned to the shelter for being 'too nice.' We think she's perfect
by Arin Greenwood / Mar.06.2018 / 5:06 PM ET / Source: TODAY     On Monday, Helena the dog's former owner gave her up to an animal shelter in Atlanta, Georgia. The reason given? Helena is just "too nice."
  "Yes, she really was returned for being too nice," LifeLine Animal Project spokesperson Karen Hirsch told TODAY in an email. "It was obvious the gentleman was looking for a guard/protection dog. He also suggested she be adopted by a woman 'because they are more into that petting stuff.'"
 Helena was given up to the shelter for being "too nice." LifeLine Animal Project There's zero evidence suggesting that men don't like "that petting stuff" as much as women. But, the former owner is right about Helena being a complete and utter marshmallow.
In fact, Helena is such an agreeable and easygoing dog that even while her former owner was in the process of turning her over to the shelter, "she just sat on a staff member's feet thunking her tail on the floor," Hirsch said. "She just wants attention. If you stop petting her, she will request you continue."
So eager is she to be nearby people she adores, Helena's earned the nickname "Velcro dog."
  "She sticks to your side like Velcro," Hirsch said.
 Helena "will request you continue" petting her if you stop, said LifeLie Animal Project spokesperson Karen Hirsch. LifeLine Animal Project Helena's sweet nature is more evidence of how inherently good dogs are.
She came into the shelter this past summer after being picked up as a stray. Hirsch describes Helena's condition at the time as "malnourished and not in the best shape." But her darling personality still shone through.
Helena, who is about 4 years old, was adopted in October by the person who brought her back this week. Hirsch can't say why this person thought Helena might make a good guard dog, given that her chief characteristic is being such a complete and utter lovebug.
  It perhaps has something to do with Helena having a blocky-shaped head, which some people mistakenly believe means she will be ill-tempered.
"People judge dogs based on their appearances way too often," Hirsch said. "You cannot judge a book by its cover!"
 LifeLine Animal Project is based in Atlanta, Georgia. Email adoptions@fultonanimalservices.com for more information about Helena. LifeLine Animal Project Instead, you should judge Helena by how she's come to be known: a perfect little Velcro dog whose key aim in life is to be in close proximity to the ones she loves.
"She wants to be the center of your world all the time," Hirsch said. "Ideally, we want her to go to a home where she can be smothered in love. And where someone can be the soft side to her Velcro."

It has to catch the attention of someone outside of the landfills. These giant national waste companies are built around the trucks, the landfills are the destination no one thinks about. Its all waste, it all makes money. We get paid to pick it up and dump it. Unless you are in the landfill, you don't see what we are actually dumping, and landfill employees are less than 10% of the company's employees. The bonus structure is flawed, because it rewards 90% of the employees for punishing 10%. It's not even that they are doing it on purpose, most of them don't even know.
I will say that my company is pushing hard towards much more strict limits on what we can take, but not without pushback. It's also a voluntary move, so if we don't take it, that means it has to go somewhere. Someone will take that revenue, and the current laws regarding solidification aren't sustainable. I'm a conservative, I don't like a lot of regulation, but it's time for something to be done. This waste has to be disposed of. Class 3 landfills are the best place to dispose of it. Instead of relying solely on engineers and "wet waste studies", start getting the opinions of the blue collar guys that have actually been touching this stuff in the field for 20-30 years. Find out what makes good sludge good, what makes bad sludge bad. Standardize a method of solidification that makes this material safe in a landfill. Set limits on how much a landfill can take, and spread it out among all landfills. 
Heres another thing that hurts certain landfills, and I bet it applies to your area. Say you're a huge company that owns numerous landfills. You have two large landfills within 90 miles of each other, but one is in a town with a population of 1 million people and is right in the middle of town, surrounded by subdivisions, schools, churches, etc... It's the flagship of your company. Your other landfill is the same size, but it's at the end of a lonely road in the middle of nowhere, in a town with a population of 10,000. Which landfill are you going to send all the nasty, sticky, smelly sludge to? Little hint: one landfill is getting 5% sludge, the other is getting 30%.
There needs to be some regulation
 

There have been massive changes where I work this year, and no one will say it, but I know it is a direct result of what happened in Pennsylvania. Good has come of it 

So the anniversary came and went.  I didn't see any stories on the TV or in the paper.  Tomorrow is the anniversary of the funeral.  Dedicate a moment of peace.  A moment without anger and bitterness.  Keep Billy and those who survived the tragedy in your thoughts.

Issues that I believe led to that disaster are a hot topic in the industry right now, and I specifically mention that example, along with others, multiple times per week.  It's a hard issue to get around because so much money is involved, but that's another reason I wished this story had gotten national attention. The onus shouldn't lie completely with the landfills, the generators should bear the responsibility as well. Certain generators do, are very conscientious of what materials are used to solidify their liquids and the sustainability of those materials in a landfill. A certain national convenience store chain, for example, won't do business with generators that solidify with the polymers I hate. They will spend the extra money to go to a generator that uses materials that behave more like cement. If all generators felt that way, or were regulated to work that way, then landfills would be safer. No doubt that mistakes are made on both sides, but as long as a blind eye is turned, nothing will change, and it will just be a matter of time until the next one

The anniversary is next week (Feb 8).  How many people will remember this event vs groundhog day?  For those involved in the disaster, its a groundhog day from hell, over and over.

Today there are a large number of vehicle going for $100,000 and higher.                               Also this week there 10 vehicle that 100% of the bids that will go to different charities.

Just What is Frogmore Stew?

              Nothing is more perfect for a Lowcountry meal than Frogmore Stew, a mouthwatering, one-pot meal of shrimp, corn on the cob, new potatoes and smoked sausage.
Those four ingredients are the basics, but sometimes live blue crab or stone crab claws are added, as well as onion. Seasonings usually include seafood seasoning of your choice, beer and hot sauce.
                Frogmore Stew is named after a Lowcountry community on St. H... Don’t worry about failure. You just want to take care not to cook the ingredients to mush, which is why the potatoes, corn and sausage go into the pot before the shrimp. As with all dishes, the freshest ingredients will result in the best taste.
Frogmore Stew is especially delicious served outdoors, making it the perfect dish for a casual get-together. Since it’s a bit messy, lots of folks like to spread newspaper on a table outside so cleanup is quick and simple.
                Frogmore Stew is perfect for outdoor gatherings with friends... So where did the funny name come from? (No, no frogs are in the stew.) The dish originated in a small Lowcountry fishing community on St. Helena Island named Frogmore, near Beaufort and Hilton Head. It’s also sometimes called Lowcountry boil or Beaufort stew.
Frogmore Stew is a perfect choice for a relaxed meal for a large crowd. The recipe below serves about six, but it’s easy to adjust. Just allow about 1/2 pound of shrimp and about 1/4 pound of sausage per person, and several potatoes and pieces of corn.
                For a true taste of the Lowcountry, look no further than Fro... Frogmore Stew
Several bottles of beer and some water
1/2 cup of preferred seafood seasoning
Tabasco sauce to taste
15 new potatoes, unpeeled
4 ears of fresh corn, shucked, silk removed and broken into 2- or 3-inch pieces
1 (16-ounce) package smoked or Kielbasa sausage, cut into one-inch pieces, browned and then drained on paper towels
3 pounds of large fresh shrimp, in shells

In a large pot, mix beer and water and season with your choice of seafood seasoning and Tabasco. Bring to a boil and add the potatoes. Cook for about 15 minutes. Add the corn and sausage. Cook for about 5 more minutes. Add the shrimp and cook just until they are pink, probably less than 5 minutes. Drain. Serve with lemon slices and cocktail sauce                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            SEE VIDEO ;   https://discoversouthcarolina.com/articles/just-what-is-frogmore-stew?utm_source=outbrain&utm_medium=display&utm_campaign=frogmore-stew&utm_term=fy-17-18

Vandals destroy 50 beehives in Iowa, killing at least 500,000 bees
SIOUX CITY, Iowa -- The future of a honey business in Sioux Falls, Iowa, is uncertain after vandals destroyed dozens of their beehives, CBS affiliate KMEG reports. The owners of Wild Hill Honey said they discovered that 50 beehives were destroyed when they went to clear off snow on Thursday.
The owner, Justin Engelhardt, told KMEG that the incident basically wipes out his business and that it will be impossible to recover from. He said that thousands of bees died from vandalism.
"I knew it was going to be bad we went around the shed every hive was knocked over, dead bees in the snow, it was terrible," Englehardt said, adding that the couple's shed was also damaged in the incident. He said a window was broken and the lock was damaged.
Engelhardt said there was a security camera installed but it stolen during the incident. Police told the station they discovered fingerprints at the scene and an investigation is ongoing.
Engelhardt told The Associated Press that at least 500,000 bees were killed in the incident, and that the estimated cost of damage was between $50,000 and $60,000.                                                               SEE VIDEO REPORT ;  https://www.cbsnews.com/news/wild-hill-honey-vandalism-sioux-city-iowa-bees-killed/
