Are raw eggs still dangerous?
I buy free range, antibiotic free etc. I would like to make mayo or Caesar dressing with them but I still feel paranoid about raw eggs.
re: fmed
I don't know, I have read all things, but I'll be 50 and Mom always served them in caesar and milk shakes and still eat them today. I don't think twice. May not be the right thing, but ... I worry more about crossing my busy street then eating a raw egg these days. I do buy the most local date but honestly, just from the local store. I may be taking a chance but there is so much more out there to worry about that it isn't a concern. But I do try to buy a fresh date and use quickly.
Hope that doesn't make me a bad person.
re: pikawicca
Same here. The only people who need to be cautious are the very young, very elderly and the autoimmune impaired. Then you might want to use pasteurized eggs that have an FDA seal of approval on them. I am studying the Safe-Serve course in anticipation of being certified for food handling in the shop. My text also says NOT to wash eggs prior to use and storage. Commercially produced eggs have been washed and sanitized at the packing facility
re: Candy
Why no washing of eggs? Sometimes the ones from the farmer's market have a little schmootz on them...seems wise to get rid of whatever that is before cracking the egg...
I use raw/undercooked egg rather freely, but I buy local from known sources.
pikawicca, I appreciate your candor downthread
: )
re: hotoynoodle
I wash just before cracking the shell
I worked for the egg industry for several years, got a full inside scoop. I eat eggs practically every day still, usually on the runny side. Yes, some eggs have salmonella in them. The chance of getting one of those lessens just slightly when you buy from local sources because the eggs are fresher (presumably) - fewer layers of handling from farmer to you. That said, large egg producers work just as hard at keeping flocks healthy, sanitized their processing areas, packaging, chilling and shipping cold. The older the egg, the longer bacteria has to flourish. Cold slows down bacteria growth. Heat kills it. So, buy COLD local eggs, keep 'em cold, eat 'em quickly -- if you make fresh mayo, keep it cold and eat it today.
re: pattilondre
Factory eggs? Not for me, thank you very much -- a totally corrupted product, IMO. They don't taste good, either!
re: pattilondre
If the local small farmer follows a program for washing and cooling his eggs and has regular testing done on his flock for Salmonella spp. then I'll agree with you. Unfortunately most small farmers cannot do these economically, so I would not say they are safer. They may taste better and if you have grown up on them you might have resistance to Salmonella spp., but don't say they are safer.
re: SQHD
I'd go along with the natural "flora and fauna" in an area but not true pathogens. When people get diarrhea in Mexico (I never have), it's not "food poisoning" (vague term) but just that there gut has its own *f&f* that's different from where they are and what they're eating. The only time I've had salmonella was from tainted peanut butter 2-1/2 years ago.
"696,000 and 3,840,000 cases of foodborne salmonellosis occur each year"
If you guys want to eat raw eggs, go right ahead. It ain't happening in Casa Jfood.
re: pikawicca
probably true, and jfood grew up licking the cake batter bowl. But for some reason he can not do it any longer. sometimes age does not bring wisdom, but brings fear.
re: jfood
Strangely enough, I eat over easy eggs and homemade mayo, but raw cookie dough leaves me cold: I have never eaten a tad of this stuff, and never will. I think it's a texture issue. That said, J, if you've never had homemade mayo, you are missing a huge Chowhound experience. My god,artichoke dipped in good mayo is one of the tatsiest things on the planet.
re: pikawicca
No raw cookie dough???!!? I'm surprised at the never have/never will on raw cookie dough. It's texture is a little squidgy, but not a deal breaker... besides, you don't eat a ton (well, I don't). Raw Tollhouse ChocChip dough is my favorite. I have a friend (I swear it's not me!) that will make up a batch just to eat it raw.... no intention on baking a thing. She cracks me up.
re: Boccone Dolce
I'd say that about a fourth of the dough I make for CC cookies winds up in my mouth raw. Butter. Sugar. Chocolate... How can it not be good?
On more than one occasion I've thrown together a small bowl of cookie dough just dough to eat raw. Since I'm not baking it, I don't have to worry about proportions, and I can leave out the egg. Soften butter with spoon, add sugars, then flour, nuts and chocolate chips. So wrong, but so good.
re: pikawicca
CDC reports that 75% of salmonella illnesses are from eggs. However, with recent tomato/pepper, peanut paste, pistachio outbreaks, this % will change.
re: BetteAnne
What year is that from? It can vary wildly from year to year. This article http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/... says that in 2001 it was 80% of cases from eggs and it plummeted to 10% in 2002.
re: jfood
"Between 696,000 and 3,840,000" -- first, that range is so huge as to be, essentially, a meaningless statistic. My guess is what it means is that they have some number quite a bit less than 696,000 of documented cases, and from there they're extrapolating using a number of highly speculative variables. Second, even at the upper end of the range, the number is incredibly small considering the 75 billion eggs consumed in the U.S. every year -- roughly one case of salmonella for every 19,000 eggs consumed. And of course, as others have mentioned, eggs cause only a small fraction of the cases of salmonella.
Are raw eggs completely risk free? No. If you drop one on the floor you might slip and hurt yourself. Or you might get salmonella. I bet the odds are about the same.
re: Ruth Lafler
Here are a few more citations for you to analyze.
And jfood will bet the odds are not the same.
re: jfood
I was exaggerating (eggsaggerating?). What was left out of my calculation was, of course, that most of the eggs consumed are cooked -- the number of cases per raw egg consumed is much, much higher. Still, as risks go, not a particularly high one. As with all risk assessment, you need to weigh the benefits of consuming the raw egg against the risk. Risk tolerance is a really individual decision.
re: tmso
jfood likes his steaks black-and-blue sometimes and med-rare others. totally different analysis. he does not eat bolied eggs (other than for egg salad on a regular basis but the answer to your quesstion is that he is ok with coddled eggs, so that should give you a sense. Likewise he orders his eggs over easy.
re: tmso
I never heard of Mett, but just googled it and am cracking up over the hedgehog presentations. I thought it must be a hoax, but there is more than one photo. Check this out:
re: c oliver
not to worry. your secret is safe with jfood. he will not tell anyone.
When I bake cookies, at least 20% of the dough goes directly in my mouth before having a chance to be dropped on the pan. I like my eggs a little underdone. And one of my favorite desserts is semifreddo, which uses raw egg whites. I tend to use up my eggs quickly before anything too funky happens within.
If you're concerned, you should seek out pasteurized eggs; they seem to be easy to find these days. At least twice as expensive, but worth it maybe for the peace of mind or if you're serving a raw egg dish to company.
re: Agent Orange
egg whites are lower risk than egg yolks. They have lysozymes in them that are anti-bacterial.
re: Sam Fujisaka
Local, free-range chickens are not laying eggs in tiered wire cages where hens are crapping on the hens and eggs beneath them. Sorry to be so gross, but this is something you should know.
re: pikawicca
pika, I know (I work in agricultural and environmental science) the horrors of American factory food production (but which generally does not include chickens shitting on their neighbors below). All I was referring to was that free range animals can also run into problems brought by rats, opossums, racoons, migratory birds, shrews, voles, bats, dogs, cats, airborne spores, soil borne pests and diseases, ... you name it. I'm very careful in my adopting fears; and even more so in adopting a popular fear over a less likely one. As I said, "I'm not sure that free range antibiotic free would be any safer." I don't have an opinion one way or the other, but don't want to assume one conclusion over any other without evidence.
I eat raw and almost raw eggs so moot question for me. But it got me to wondering if the eggs that are used in carbonara are actually cooked? I'd vote no. They're mixed up with other ingredients and the pasta is added but I'm betting they're at best just cooked a little. Are they any more cooked than the ones in Caesar? These boards always make me think.
I agree with the irradiation. Most people that have problems with it, just never took enough nuclear physics to understand that gamma rays just pass through and don't taint food in anyway.
As for the raw egg phobia, I wouldn't worry about it. Worry more about the cook in the Greasy spoon, Chinese or Mexican restaurant that doesn't wash his hands after taking a dump...
re: hankstramm
Yeah, a neighbor of mine got sicking from drinking from a pitcher of beer in Costa Rica. I told her it was probably the pitcher from the food handler and NOT the beer. Of course, she didn't believe me :(
re: c oliver
Of course, there is no way of knowing what sickened your friend. Tracking food poisoning sources is really tricky.
re: pikawicca
I just figure the alcohol would kill anything.
re: c oliver
I thought that, too, until I saw mold growing from my vanilla bean in home made vanilla (made with expensive vodka). It was tough to throw out such a large bottole but I figured I don't want to be eating any mold that can survive in vodka!
re: chowser
I'm not doubting you but are you sure it was molding or was it just the vanilla bean breaking down in the the vodka?
re: KTinNYC
I wasn't sure at first and kept looking at it in the jar. But, I took it out and it looked like mold (fuzzy gray growth off of the bean), not like vanilla bean breaking down, or even part of it crystalizing which I've heard it can do. I don't know for sure, since I didn't have it analyzed but it looked enough like it that I didn't want to take the chance. I did google it and it never came up as a regular phenomenon of making vanilla. It was odd.
re: chowser
It does seem odd. I'd probably thrown it out as well Better safe than sorry.
One more question, was the bean still completely submerged?
re: KTinNYC
Yes, with inches of alcohol to spare. It wasn't so much the cost of the vodka that bothered me but the two months I was waiting anxiously for it. The funny thing is I made another bottle for a friend and hers was fine, even months after.
re: chowser
I've been trying to find out if it's possible for mold to grow in vodka and I haven't found a great answer yet but this thread on how to make your own vanilla extract was pretty informative.
One of the posters had this to say to someone who believed their batch had gone moldy. "The "sediment" you are seeing is definitely not mold. What you are seeing are the tiny vanilla bean pieces that are inside the larger vanilla beans, little black specks. Also, the longer the beans set in the vodka, the more the pieces swell and some times tiny slivers come off of the orginal (sic) bean pieces...not a problem though."
But as I said before if I saw what you saw I'd probably have tossed the vodka, the same as you.
re: KTinNYC
Thanks--I did see that site when I was looking and looked closely at it (hoping that it was something along those lines). It didn't seem like it was the little specks, or slivers that had swelled. It was definitely fuzzy patches, along the bean, and growing off of it. In all honesty, I don't know for sure that it was mold and it seemed weird that, if it were possible, I couldn't find anything at all about it online. But, I decided that if it were mold, it would be the MRSA of mold if it could live in alcohol like that.
re: c oliver
Lived in Mexico for a while and that's (along with fresh veggies and fruits) where much of the food borne illness comes from. There are intestinal parasites that are very common fare down there that are unequivocally from dirty handed sources.
There are 3 things in your kitchen that kill salmonella. Heat, acid, and sugar. Lemon juice and vinegar both fall into the acid category. At least 1 is included in most versions of caesar dressing or mayo.
Salmonella is a dirt disease, not a chicken disease. Ethically farmed eggs tend to be much less dirty than factory farmed examples.
re: Brandon Nelson
Thanks for all the replies. The lemon juice point convinced me. I'm making Caesar dressing next week.
re: Brandon Nelson
I've heard hot sauce kills the germs, and that's why you should put it on raw shellfish, but maybe only ones like Tabasco that have vinegar? I always just drink a few shots to kill the germs, like my mother taught me!
re: Brandon Nelson
That's good to know!
Just noticed, when I said I drink a few shots with my shellfish, I meant Vodka! not hot sauce.
re: Brandon Nelson
From the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service:
Q. Are chickens labeled "Kosher," "free-range," "organic," or "natural" lower in Salmonella bacteria?
A. FSIS does not know of any valid scientific information that shows that any specific type of chicken has more or less Salmonella bacteria than other poultry.
There is no reason to believe that free-range eggs or eggs bought from a local farmer are any more or less safe than regular eggs from the supermarket.
re: MakingSense
The difference I've read between factory farm and local small farm is rate of contamination, as with peanut butter and spinach in production. One bad batch can contaminate a lot more in factory farm. The kosher, free-range, organic, natural labels make no difference if it's factory farmed. If you pick your own peanuts and grind them, there's less chance of contamination from hundreds of other farms that affect pb in so many products. I was surprised at how extensive one factory could be.
re: chowser
I agree to a certain extent, but bigger producers also tend to be inspected more often and have stricter pathogen control programs and QA/QC programs.
re: chowser
Most people do not personally know the people raising the chickens who lay the eggs that they buy. If they do, have they been out to see the farm and how they actually clean the eggs?
I agree that most small farmers are honest and good, but that's still a fairly romantic notion among people who think that large scale farmers are automatically bad, wrong, dishonest, evil, etc., and small = good.
If they didn't have a negative bias, they wouldn't use prejudicial and emotionally loaded terminology like "factory farm."
There will always be terrible incidents like the PB plant and it got WIDE publicity because it had a WIDE market.
A small organic PB plant would have gotten little publicity because it would have had a SMALL market.
There are good and bad producers in all categories, whether they are small individuals or large corporations.
Some people will always cut corners to make a buck and not care if they screw the consumer. Others are ethical and caring.
Size is not an indicator.
re: chowser
The peanut butter problem happened because some dumba$$ manager told their QC/QA guy to let the product be released instead of destroying it. I'm in this profession and I believe that they charged with Manslaughter. If you know there are high levels of Salmonella in your product that is stored at room temperature don't sell it. But comparing peanut butter to eggs isn't similar at all. Totally different foods, processing conditions, and storage conditions.
re: Bryn
I'm glad they're prosecuting with manslaughter for that case. It seems to have dropped off the news. I have worked in factory food (salads and such) and it is clean, probably more sterile than my house so I'm not putting down all factory production. My point is that one bad egg, so to speak (meaning owner, not an actual egg), can cause much more serious damage than a smaller producer. And on a large farm, there are more risks with diseases. My neighbor might not have inspectors checking her pool but I still prefer to swim in it over the municipal pools where thousands of people swim, though I do both.
re: chowser
no I said it was my opinion that they should be. Sorry.
re: chowser
The USDA statistics say that there are NOT more risks with large farms than with small farms.
It really serves no purpose to scare people. Too many get wrapped around their axles on this kind of stuff which they can only solve by never eating outside their own homes and living like Seinfeld's Bubble Boy.
Sooner or later, they're going to eat at the home of a friend, or God Forbid!!!, at a public accommodation like a restaurant that serves eggs from a mysterious source. My Lord! Are they risking their lives??? Or at least serious illness?
A simple risk assessment analysis should be enough to put people's minds' at ease.
Unless there is a problem with immune system deficiency, eggs shouldn't be a problem, even raw.
re: chowser
Let's be honest. Chickens are dirty wherever they're raised.
A freshly laid egg, right out of the hen is not what a lot of people think. It's got pin feathers and dirt stuck to it with chicken shit and other stuff that I'm not even sure what it is.
Those eggs have to be washed and sanitized before they're used or marketed.
The big producers, as Bryn says are inspected more frequently, in addition to having better equipment to sanitize those eggs.
Salmonella is IN the chicken's intestinal track whether the hen house or barnyard is dirty or antiseptic.
It can be IN the egg BEFORE the shell is even formed.
A chicken with salmonella can lay 4 good eggs and 1 with salmonella.
Salmonella can be ON the shell which proper sanitizing can remove. What if a small farmer doesn't do that properly?
Sanitizing lessens the risk, but there is still some risk whether the egg comes from a large producer or a farmer with 6 hens if the salmonella is in the egg itself.
City folks romanticize "farm fresh eggs" and think that buying them from a nice farmer at a market means that they're getting something pure and wholesome, but perhaps that egg hasn't been sanitized as well as they might think.
re: MakingSense
It could be that I've never visited large farms but at farms I've visited, and stayed at, the eggs weren't that visibly dirty. I'd get up early with my kids and pick eggs for breakfast and didn't feel they couldn't touch the eggs. They did wash their hands after. I have no idea what an egg looks like out of a hen in a factory farm. They could look just as clean or as dirty as you've seen.
I don't know about other "city folks" but I don't think the eggs come out of the chicken any cleaner than factory farmed chicken but do think the disease rate is lower simply in the same way home schooled children would come across fewer germs than children in a school. Honestly, I don't care about the 1 in 20,000 odds of getting salmonella. I'll eat raw eggs regardless but I do take special care in making food for my parents who are elderly, my toddler nephews and nieces, anyone with a compromised immune system regardless. I like supporting local businesses/farms, knowing the people, and buying fresh eggs rather than from large factory farms. If I were like Nyleve, I would raise my own and get them fresh from the source. That would be my ideal but it's not going to happen so I'll settle for the next best thing for me. If it's your preference to buy factory farm eggs over local ones because you think they sterilize better, that's great. We all make our own choices.
re: chowser
I buy eggs from my local farmer, and there is definitely dirt and straw all over it. Just wash it off. is what I do.
re: chowser
I routinely buy eggs from both sources. It makes no difference to me except if I'm having guests for breakfast/brunch and I want eggs with yolk that really stand up high. Then I make sure to get the ones that were laid yesterday and the only way to get that is from a farmstand that I know.
Statistically, there is no difference in disease rates between small and large farm operations according to the USDA..
The eggs from both are equally clean/dirty because it's the chicken that makes them dirty, not the farm.
The large farms can afford bigger equipment to clean the eggs. Often, small farms clean them by hand.
Mostly, I have far bigger things to worry about.
re: MakingSense
I buy both, too, but prefer to support small businesses. I also buy frozen vegetables but prefer fresh. I make my choices based on what works for the season/location/etc.
re: MakingSense
Yes. Where to buy those ostrich eggs!
re: chowser
A hen has one exit. Poop and eggs came out of the same hole. E. coli, salmonella, listeria...are not visible to the naked eye. This is the same for the chckens in my backyard and for the chickens across the country from me. And the same for chickens raised in a big barn and chickens raised in a lttle barn. Poop is poop. Local poop is not safer than out-of-state poop.
re: BetteAnne
A chicken that is exposed to thousands of chickens has a greater chance of disease than one exposed to few. It's the same reason teachers get sick more often than people exposed only to a few people. If I know that the farmer has more sanitary conditions because I've been there or talked to them, I trust them more.
re: MakingSense
That's another pro for large scale producers. They test their flocks frequently and if a hen has Salmonella they destroy it and I believe (Don't quote me) destroy the whole flock in some cases helping to eliminate internalized Salmonella risk.
re: chez cherie
I think that's only done in extreme cases. As for Animal Cruelty because they destroy a flock please see BSE and cow herds. I'm not PETA, I don't pretend that industrial farming is perfect, but I don't argue about it.
re: BetteAnne
Maybe in the States. I'm in Canada. Bear in mind that we do have a safer egg supply than the states.
re: Brandon Nelson
Is there no dirt on ethical farms? No soil? No flies or rodents? Do the hens use the toilet, flush and wash their hands after wiping? Do the other animals? Do the ethical hens not peck in the dirt or grass?
My backyard hens don't have such luxuries. I believe I'm still "ethically" raising them. But chickens are dirty birds.
Lemon juice and vinegar are not acidic enough to kill most pathogens. They can slow the growth of them, but not kill them.
re: BetteAnne
You might as well add that chickens aren't the smartest critters in the barnyard. Should we really trust them to make their own dietary choices?
I've seen them peck the undigested grain out of piles of dung. What else do they take in with the grain from the dung?
That's not the idyllic image of hens foraging for bugs and seeds in the Great Outdoors that some folks seem to have.
If you eat eggs with runny yolks - poached, sunny side up, or over easy - then you're probably at risk of salmonella poisoning. But then again, you're at risk of contracting salmonella if you eat lettuce, raw spinach, peanut butter, etc. The only question is how much risk.
The first question is how many eggs are infected. Greygarious cited 1:20,000. I've also seen 1:10,000. Regardless, we're talking long odds. Lottery ticket odds.
The second question is whether the salmonella will survive whatever you're doing to the egg. Eating a plain infected raw egg, you're putting it right into your digestive system. But as Brandon noted, if you're making a salad dressing or a sauce that contains an acid ingredient, the acid is going to tend to kill the bugs.
I have to disagree with pattilondre, though. Although homemade mayo is generally safe, it's even safer if you let it sit at room temperature for a few hours to overnight before consuming and/or refrigerating it. It takes time for bacteria to die off in an acid environment, and refrigeration actually slows down this process.
So, long and short - you have do your own risk analysis. For an otherwise healthy adult, a bout of salmonella means a few days of quality time near a bathroom; for the very old, the very young (including the unborn), and the immunocompromised, the consequences can be a lot worse. But of all the things that might make you sick, raw eggs are way down on the list. Your best bet for avoiding salmonella and all other food-borne diseases is to wash your hands religiously, avoid cross-contamination (especially from raw poultry), periodically disinfect the surfaces in your kitchen that come into contact with food, and generally keep things clean.
re: alanbarnes
The only scientific evidence I've seen regarding acidic ingredients used with raw eggs, is that the acid does NOT kill existing pathogens, but can keep them from multiplying -- like refrigeration does. Leaving your mayo out overnight is not a good idea.
re: BetteAnne
I don't know what scientific evidence you've seen, but I'd be interested to see a citation to a single study that shows salmonella surviving in mayonnaise. Please provide any citations you have. Meanwhile, for the proposition that mayo actually kills the little buggers, here are a few articles:
Erickson, J. P., et al. (1991) Comparative Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes inactivation rates in four commercial mayonnaise products. J. Food Protect. 54 (12):913-916
Glass, K. A. et al. (1991) Fate of Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes in commercial, reduced calorie mayonnaise. J. Food Protect. 54 (9): 691-695
Lock, J.L et al. (1995) The fate of Salmonella enteritidis PT4 in home-made mayonnaise prepared from artificially inoculated eggs. Food Microbiology 12:181-186.
Radford, S. A. and Board, R. G. (1993) Review: Fate of pathogens in home-made mayonnaise and related products. Food Microbiology 10: 269-278
Smittle, R. B. (1977) Microbiology of mayonnaise and salad dressing: A review. J. Food Protect. 40 (6): 415-422
The acid in mayonnaise kills germs. That's a fact. And it's also a fact that storage of mayonnaise at refrigeration temperatures protects Salmonella spp. from acidulants. That's why the experts recommend holding homemade mayonnaise at room temperature for 24 hours prior to refrigeration.
Of course, you're free to think that this is a bad idea. Once you've published an article supporting this thesis in a peer-reviewed journal, it will be more than just your unfounded opinion. Until then...
re: alanbarnes
At quick glance, the Lock study doesn't seem to be very supportive for you. I'll take a closer look after some sleep.
I don't see your name listed above.
I eat uncooked eggs and barely cooked eggs all the time. Actually, when I make a vinaigrette, I almost always add an egg yolk tothe mustard and shallot mixture, I like the texture and richness it adds. Homemade mayo is such a treat, so I would say make the mayo, its deliciousness will elimate your raw egg fear!
I can't remember not eating raw eggs. We grew up eating sukiyaki and dipped everything in a raw egg sauce. It was so creamy and good. When the egg scare first came out, I tried w/out the egg but it wasn't the same so I went back to it. I was the only family member who was at all concerned.
re: chowser
I lived in Singapore for over a year. Chowser, like you, I was often served a raw egg in a little bowl at restaurants. Customarily, you break open the egg, drop it in the bowl, add chili oil hot sauce, soy sauce or fish sauce, and chives (of all things!), beat it all up and dip your meat, chicken, or fish into it. I never had a problem.
Every year for years, my mother made egg nog from raw eggs at Christmas time. No problem.
And I've been eating fried eggs sunny side up for, lo, these 58 years. No problem.
All the statistics I've seen on the number of salmonella infected eggs are in the tens orf thousands or better. I figure I'll probably die long before I get to that first salmonella-infected egg.
On the other hand, I darned near got killed in Singapore, stepping off the curb, watching for traffic coming from the wrong direction, since everyone there drives on the left and I had not yet adjusted to that fact. I'll save my worries for real dangers . . .
Most likely we do more dangerous things in our daily lives without giving it a second thought.
Here is a web that tells just about everything about judging, buying, and using eggs.
Scroll down to "Safe Egg Yolks". and read !
My family used to raise chickens and sell eggs. Have used raw eggs in various ways all of my life (I'm a senior citizen), and never even once been sickened by doing so. Now-a-days I buy my eggs from a small ethnic grocery store. The owner gets them from a local chicken farmer. You can be fairly safe if you patronize a store that has a rapid turn-over in eggs, and you know where they get their eggs from. The big chains have eggs that come from a storage facility...so I steer clear of those.

Thank you for your feedback, mitsuki-anime! You've been so supportive and I truly appreciate that!! ♥
I'm happy with the layout because FullMoon has a beautiful lineart, and I really miss Arina's old style…
I'm so glad to know that! I can see them again, too!
I don't know what happened, though. Everything was just fine when I left this morning and it seems that half of the theme code disappeared while I was not online. I really hope it doesn't happen again!
Thank you, pichulove!!!! <3
I haven't found the problem yet, so I decided to reinstall the theme. I hope it works, because I really don't know anything about css and html…
OMG, I'm so sorry that's happening to you! I don't know what's the problem, but I'm going to try to fix it right now. Is anyone having the same issue as well?

<National Report>Washington, DC–Faced with polls and the ever increasing reality that freedom loving American gun owners and the American public in general, will never allow Obama to take away their right to bear arms, the White House is apparently attempting an 'end around', hoping to avoid the fight altogether by Presidential decree.
Memos obtained by the National Report purport that Obama, Harry Reed and Nancy Pelosi have been meeting 'off the record', to craft a way of subverting and ignoring the will of the American people by using a Presidential order that would no longer seek to register guns but register ammunition instead.
Acknowledging that gun registration, background checks and a national data base of gun owners is essentially dead politically for the foreseeable future, the leaked Obama plan is to use little known and historically unprecedented powers as President to sign an executive order requiring that any citizen who attempts to acquire ammunition of any kind will not only be required to pass an extensive FBI and Homeland Security background check, but will be required to wait a period of no less than 30 days before the purchase of bullets of any kind, which would not only interfere with the lawful use and discharge of firearms, but at the same time, institute a system for tracking just what type of firearms individual gun owners have by registering the type of bullets being purchased.
The NRA, Tea Party leaders and Gun rights advocates rightly point out that 30 days is more than enough time for the government to 'take over' this country in the event that Obama should declare a national security emergency and use his powers as President to institute marshal law which many believe is inevitable. The memos go on to address concerns that American gun owners, gun sellers and 2nd amendment advocates already posses enough ammunition to initially resist a government takeover, suggesting as a response, a campaign of encouraging gun owners to target practice more often, thereby using up the vast majority of bullets already in the hands of private citizens.
The tentative plan, as further detailed in top secret communiques between White House Officials and Nancy Pelosi's office, is to not only encourage more target practice, hunting and family shooting get togethers, but to expedite the process of using up available ammunition by declaring a national holiday, tentatively named, National Firing Range and Family Target Practice Day (Along the lines of 'take your kid to work day'), where millions of law abiding American gun owners would be given paid leave to celebrate the new holiday by visiting their local gun range, wooded areas and private, unincorporated properties, and use up vast quantities of increasingly limited ammunition.
In addition, it was proposed, in an email from Senator Harry Reed, that the federal government could expedite the expenditure of bullets by supporting efforts to encourage 'open carry' in wildlife preserves, public parks, state beaches, Pre-K, and weddings, while at the same time, offering low rate federal loan guarantees for the construction of more than 1500 new firing ranges in any state which chooses to participate in the program. Further suggestions from Reed included a moratorium on laws restricting the discharge of a firearm during legitimate road rage incidents as well as a substantial tax right off for hospitalization and funerals resulting from accidental shootings.
A high level White House source, on the condition of anonymity, went on to reveal that while the plan is for now top secret, drafts of the proposed Presidential Executive Order, were shared with a variety of left leaning groups and individuals, including Rev Al Sharpton, Planned Parenthood, leading Gay rights activists, the Muslim Brotherhood, the ACLU, and MSNBC. Suggestions for naming the new law, or Executive order, thus far include 'Guns Don't Kill People-Bullets Kill People', the 'Trayvon Martin Reparations and Justice At Last Act', as well as 'Obama in 2016!'.

Move Lamar inside and Shaunnessy to LDE........ Should help
Bjoern Werner*, DE, Florida State
The Raiders have managed only 17 sacks this season, and DEs Lamarr Houston (300 pounds) and Matt Shaughnessy (285 pounds) are unusually big. They would face a tough call between Werner and LSU DE Barkevious Mingo, who has a better natural skill set as a pass-rusher and would give the Raiders a lighter, faster edge rusher. However, Werner is the more consistent player and has a better all-around game.
2013 NFL mock draft - Where will the top QB land? - ESPN
Move Lamar inside and Shaunnessy to LDE........ Should help
He was born in Germany. In the NBA it seems as though all of the European born players have a strong work ethic and adhere to sound fundamentals. Hopefully the same attributes would occur in the NFL.
What if we switch to the 3-4?
My next door neighbor is a Raider fan my 2 neighbors across from me are Raider fans. A Lion fan down the street hung up a Detriot Lions flag outside his house a week ago.
My neighbors and I hung up Raider Flags today and now it seems like the Lions fan took his down, huh I wonder why he did that?
What are the chances K.C. and Jacksonville both pass on QBs.
Jamarcus went from a second or third rounder to the number one pick based off a great bowl game and a great pro day.
I dont' see us picking Werner if we have the third pick.
If we win a few more games and drop to the 6th or 7th pick, then I wouldn't be surpised if we get him.
We need a right or left tackle (could move Veldheer to right), pass rushing d-end, run stuffing defensive tackle, middle linebacker, corner/safety, a center (move Wiz).
We need 6 first round picks this year. We will be lucky to fill two of those postitions with quality players.
It will take a couple of years of sucking before we start being competitive again. We won't be able to fill all of our holes and depth issues in this one offseason.
Take Star move Houston inside next to him then draft Clowney next year?
If we have the 3rd pick, I'd pick BPA but we need to get a pass rusher, CB and run stuffing DT in the first 3 rounds. RM HAS to find a way to get the 2nd rounder back. It would be nice to pick up a returner if possible so Ford can concentrate on playing offense
We also need a decent RT, aggressive MLB, a durable RB and more depth overall
This team has a lot of needs, it's gonna take at least another 2 drafts to fill them all. I'm hoping a couple of the FAs and UDFAs RM gets can fill some of these holes as well
We gotta hope that a QB wows one team in the combine, pro day, workouts etc. QBs are valued extremely highly by teams come draft time, and they often go higher than they should, simply because they want their guy. In addition, given our needs and palmers perceived struggles, it won't surprise me if teams expect us to take a QB. This puts us in a position to fleece a team for all they got and trade down to have more picks, not only this year, but future years.
In terms of actual picks, we're going to need a stud d lineman. Seymour won't be here, doubt Kelly will be either, and given our cap situation, I don't see these guys getting replaced with expensive guys in FA.
Do it once, do it right. Or don't do it at all.Al Davis, the greatest ever owner in professional sportsJust win, baby!
Follow me on Twitter: @HBNadolny
LMAO! Yo this made me laugh out loud at my desk. Now my boss is looking like me like I am a mouth breather.
But seriously you are right. We have terrible coaches. Dennis Allen looks like he is on Advil during the games. Knapp is trash. Tarver is too busy reading science books or something. And the Special teams coach is a bum.
I don't know how Mark Davis is putting up with this bull dookie.

Remember Me?
If you use rack gear this unit is a must-have!!
Ease Of Use
This unit couldn't be any more easy to use. Simply insert the Ins and Outs of the HE-8 in between two pieces of gear and you're done. Yes, it requires more patch cables, but the trade-off of a quiet rack is definitely worth it. The HE-8 is passive so requires no power and does not color tone at all!
As previously noted, the HE-8 does not color sound at all because it has no sound-affecting components. The main purpose of the HE-8 is to break ground loops, but you get much more than that. The HE-8 is also capable of converting between balanced and unbalanced inputs. The best of both worlds!!
Haven't had an issue with it since I purchased it (second-hand) and it's been a solid part of my rig ever since. Every component I have goes through the HE-8 and my rig has never been more quiet. The only noise that gets generated is preamp noise when I really crank the gain.
Customer Support
Never had to call them--every Ebtech/Morley product I own is rock-solid.
Liked about it
Makes my rig dead quiet!!
Extremely easy to use and understand!
No power required--passive unit!!
Didn't like
Only has 8 channels--however, their manual states that if you install your rig one component at a time and only use the HE-8 between offending components, the HE-8 should be able to handle almost any rig.
Overall satisfaction:

Sports Fan Insider
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers and pitcher Neftali Feliz have agreed to a one-year contract for the 2013 season.
In a statement Thursday night, the Rangers said no terms would be disclosed. The deal leaves outfielder David Murphy as the last Ranger eligible for salary arbitration still unsigned.
The 24-year-old right-hander was 3-1 with a 3.16 ERA in eight games in 2012, including seven starts, before he was shut down on May 19 with right elbow inflammation. He had "Tommy John" ligament replacement surgery Aug. 1 and will open the 2013 season on the disabled list.
Feliz was the Rangers' closer in 2010-11 with 72 saves in 134 appearances. He earned the 2010 American League Rookie of the Year Award with what was a major league rookie record of 40 saves.

A new film version of Daphne du Maurier's 1938 novel, Rebecca, is in the works, according to Variety. The classic mystery, which was made famous on the big screen by Alfred Hitchcock in 1940, will be penned by Eastern Promises writer Steven Knight for Dreamworks and Working Title.
- Rebecca
- Production year: 1940
- Countries: UK, USA
- Cert (UK): PG
- Runtime: 130 mins
- Directors: Alfred Hitchcock
- Cast: George Sanders, Joan Fontaine, Judith Anderson, Laurence Olivier
Rebecca sees a young woman attempt to fill the shoes of the titular deceased wife of rich aristocrat, Maxim de Winter, to the chagrin of his sinister housekeeper, Mrs Danvers. Hitchcock's version, which opened the first Berlin film festival in 1951, starred Sir Laurence Olivier as de Winter and Judith Anderson as Mrs Danvers. Joan Fontaine was Hitchcock's choice for the innocent, vulnerable victim.
Du Maurier's tale has had many stage and TV adaptations and has inspired two Bollywood movies – 1964's Kohraa and Anamika, directed by Anant Mahadevan and released in 2008.

The Czech Republic announced its Olympic team today and Jiri Tlusty was left off the tentative roster for the 2014 Winter Olympics.
I really don't want to call this a snubbing to be honest. Tlusty is not having a good season and the Czechs have a decent roster at forwards. There are some odd calls like Petr Nedved and Jiri Novotny, but the NHL players that were picked to represent all deserve a spot on the team over Tlusty.
Factor in that Jiri Hudler was also not chosen and Tlusty's absence doesn't seem that bad.
Last season, it appeared Tlusty would be a lock after his first 20-goal season and finishing fifth in the league in goals scored, but things have gone much different this year, which has included a fourth-line demotion and a healthy scratch for Tlusty.
But this could be a good thing for the Hurricane forward. He could use this as motivation in the second half and get back to where he was last season.
Every player wants to represent his country, especially at the Olympics, and for that reason I feel bad for Tlusty, but he hasn't done enough this year to earn a spot on the roster. Unfortunately for the 25-year-old, the Czech Republic team probably made the right choice here.
Check out the full Czech Republic roster here.

For runners who want to get in touch with the ground, the Inov-8 Trailroc 150 offers a minimal running experience, with no cushioning and an extra-firm ride.
A bare-bones trail shoe for those who want to get connected with the ground, the Inov-8 Trailroc 150 is all about running next to barefoot. A zero-drop, zero-midsole platform means nimble performance, and a lugged outsole provides excellent traction on loose and dry trails. With a lightweight, barely-there upper, the Trailroc 150 is the next best thing to attaching lugs to your bare feet.
Model Number: 5050973454
Weight: 4.5 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (8mm), Forefoot (8mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How it Fits (based on width D)
The Trailroc 150 is a minimum feature, minimum neutral trail shoe designed for trail racing and daily training. It is built with a semi-curved shape.
Comments: This is a great minimalist off-road shoe. I wore it for a mud run and it had amazing traction. It has no cushion so you will feel every rock and root you step on, so this shoe is probably better for non-technical trails. Amazing grip on every type of terrain. The upper is a nylon type of material so it will trap some water and run a little hot at times, usually not a problem though. Wear a size 11 just like all of my other Inov8 shoes. Super light I use it mostly for off road races and mud runs.
From: Josh, Dallas, TX
Comments: This shoe is AMAZING! Using it for my XC races this season. It is lighter than the best nike spike and doesn't slip even running through huge puddles and on slick mud. Don't get this if you heel strike though.
From: Ben, Ohio

Matt Marinkovich's weekly At Sea Diary entry is a popular feature of the National Fisherman Web site, and now you can post your own reflections on Matt's experiences fishing in the Pacific Northwest and North Pacific.
Monday, October 24, 2011 — It was a busy week for me, and finally a week with fish!
I left San Juan Island on Monday evening, traveled to Seattle (Fishermen's Terminal), then ran the Satisfaction 4 hours at 8 knots to Hood Canal. Linda, again, was my crew, and we found a mooring buoy around 3 a.m.
We started fishing at 7 a.m. and had close to a couple hundred fish for the day, most of which were caught in the morning. I left before the change-of-light set, which is always good when gillnetting salmon, to run for the fishing in Seattle's Area 10, which started at 5 p.m. Seattle fishing turned out to be rather slow, with only 50 or so fish for my efforts, which ended at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 26.
I was right back at it on Wednesday night, running to Hood Canal to make the Thursday 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. opening. This time I fished the whole period, which was a good thing because I had a nice change-of-
light set of 80 fish for a quick hour (total time) in the water. I could have let that set go a bit longer before the closure, but I (and my gear) would probably have drifted into the Hood Canal Floating Bridge on the ebb current, which is NEVER a good thing.
Again, I headed over to the Seattle side, a three-hour run, and wrapped up the fishing over there for another 45 fish.
Still scratchy in Seattle, but decent fish showing in the canal, it had been an exhausting week of no sleep, but with reward of fish.

Blue Cross & Obama Care
The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) is a federation of 38 separate Health Insurance organizations and companies in the United States. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), informally referred to as Obamacare, is a United States federal statute signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. The law (along with the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010) is the principal Health Care reform legislation of the 111th United States Congress. /5
Blue Cross Obama Care Blue Shield Cross Blue Shield Health Insurance Private Sector Third World Big Business Florida Blue Medicare Advantage Thanksgiving Dinner Turkey Dinner Pumpkin Pie Affordable Care Act Care Act Black Hole Bill Clinton White House
I was trying to thank everyone for all the birthday wishes but I had to give up.So thank you everyone. Hoping Monday the eye surgery will improve my vision. Blue Cross doesn't want to pay. Could that be Obama care kicking in.?
Mr President we don't believe you! Show us the proof that 8 million signed up for Obama Care under the age of 35. Even if they did are they paying premiums or are they getting subsidized and am I paying the premiums? Last time I checked Blue Cross said in 2015 my premiums go from $569 per month to $968 per month. Punishing success!!!
I have a problem. After 41/2 mos of getting set up with Obama care I thought I was good to go. I go to my cardiologist today after entering my info I'm called to the desk and am told it came back ineligible? What ever that means. So after 52 minutes on the phone it was determined I either have, no coverage, or I have an HMO, or I have a PPO, or I have both !!! Blue Cross doesn't know what is going on, healthcare.gov doesn't know what is going on. So here I sit with a mess on my hands. I wish Obama care was stuck up someone else's *** beside mine, and I think you know who I wish it was stuck in!
Today I found out that the wonderful Obama Care isn't so wonderful. Even though I have a policy through Blue Cross, since it is through the healthcare exchange these policies are not the same as say the same policy from an employer. They have a bunch of things that are not paid for or that the deny. Thanks for getting the hopes up for so many Americans Mr. President!
Health Insurance - I worked at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida; once Obama Care came into the picture; froze my pension 2
It's 2014 ..This is the year most Blue Cross policies and Qual Choice policies are being cancelled in the Individual market, and some Group Companies are" non renewing" same as Cancelling because of the Mandates that went into effect Jan 1 2014 . Dont get caught in the Government lies and trap about YOUR Health Insurance and now your Health Care. Doctors are leaving networks and some Hospitals are not treating patients that have Obama Care . I can help, we have many new products and can cover anyone... PERIOD !! with the biggest network in Ar and the USA. Yes I sell for my company and post things here but my passion in this business is to help people if i can DO NOT PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU DONT WANT OR NEED, OR WHAT THE GOVERNMENTS SAYS YOU NEED ,who are they to decide what is best for YOUR family . Contact me if you want help if not , welcome to Obama Care its just as simple as that :) www.ushagent.com/kennethhall
There is Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, etc, and then there is Obama Care. Who is their owner and CEO?
Bill Clinton urged the White House to hang tough on Obama Care and to work out the bugs. His thinking has evolved on the issue. Bill Clinton originally favored single payer Health Care coverage till fifteen years ago when he got Blue Cross and Blue Pill
Challenges of Having Good Healh Care There can be a number of challenges when it comes to having good Health Care. Health Care can be non affordable, and this can be difficult for nurses because they are losing patients. The government is rising costs and this is affecting Health Care as well. Although, we can avoid needing Health Care simply by having good Health Care and staying healthy this can reduce frequent visits to the hospital, and also reduce costs of heath care. Obama Care can be a challenge too because it cost from 300-500 dollars monthly and some patients can't afford that. Having Obama Care means having less money. Obama Care has eligibilities such as, Unicare, Blue Cross CIGNA, and United. Medicaid, can be challenging because we would have to qualify and in order to qualify for medicaid, we must have some kind of disability, be pregnant, or at least have a child. Medicaid is also income based. As long as we have good insurance, and follow their policy, we might can qualify for Medicaid. Th ...
Just in.. Family Plans from Blue Cross across Alabama jumping from around 350 a month to over 700 dollars a month. I really believe Washington doesn't have to do anything to stop Obama Care. It's going to collapse into itself like a Black Hole.
This is what one of our family members thinks of the "Affordable" Heath Care Act, aka OBAMA CARE This is from my cousin: He lives in Minnesota and is an insurance agent. Subject: The Affordable Health Car Act Well, Obama Care finally hit us! Blue Cross informed us by mail that due to new rating methods required by the "Affordable Care Act", for us to keep the exact same insurance we have now will result in a premium increase. I can guarantee there is nothing affordable about it, as our premiums are going up 24% January 1st if we maintain our current coverage. Our yearly premium and deductible will require that we pay $23,904 before Health Insurance will pay dollar one. That's not a typo, $23,904 for a family of four. Please explain to me how $23,904 a year is affordable? How will we be able to keep our Health Insurance as promised? How does Obama Care help the middle class? Why do I share this? Obama Care is now affecting someone you know in a very big way. I suspect as time goes on, more and more people ...
Wondering how many people I know will stick to their guns and NOT race out and buy Health Care before the deadline set by Obama Care? Like if you will make a stand, comment on why you will submit to tyranny.
Going to eat Thanksgiving Dinner (and spend some time) with my younger sister and her "sorta" group home family. Which will be a change, the last few years I had my Turkey Dinner and Pumpkin Pie at Perkins - which really wasn't that bad - no dishes, no clean up. My other sister is burned out from work (Blue Cross/ Blue Shield) and is just going to stay in with her daughter and dog - thanks Obama Care.
My mother got a message today. Below is what it said. Message from Blue Cross and Blue Shield, your part you pay to medicare in 2013 will be $120. and some change, the part you will pay in 2014 IF Obama Care is in full swing will be $240. and some change. Obama is doing nothing but hurting this country and its people. Get out to the polls on Tuesday and vote this moron out of office. ROMNEY/RYAN 2012
The question is what's on my mind??? A lot of you won't want to know,but please listen. I recieved my 2013 Medicare Handbook today. I quickly turned to the back to see what my deduction was going to be on my Medicare Advantage plan for the year. In 2011 it was $1,300. When I got my information for 2012, it had gone down to $950. Talk about good news. Today was not as good. This year's deductible will ONLY be $5,000. Talk about a kick in the pants. For all my senior citizen friends, the only difference that I know of is Obama Care. I'm calling Blue Cross tomorrow,and I hope I'm wrong. I'll let you know.
Interesting letter tonight from my Health Insurance carrier of over a decade; changed jobs for an outstanding opportunity, did not change insurance but good old blue Cross Blue Shield now will not cover any pre -existent condition for one year now. We already have managed Health Care in this country, ins. Companies. And some wonder why Obama Care was appealing
Wow! Obama Care is already kicking in... Florida Blue (Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida) just lowered my insurance rate from $289.00 per month to $116.00 per month until January 2014 and then it goes to $221,00 per month with dental and doctor visits included... Way to go Obama.
Arrived home to Dallas to find a refund check from Blue Cross thanks to Obama-Care. BCBS must spend 85% of premiums on patient care or they have to refund the excess. Color me happy..
So what do I talk about today – I am standing on my soap box. I want you to think about this, Obama Care will control our quality of life. Example: Blue Cross insurance is making me do mail order medicine because they refuse to approve insurance coverage on my prescriptions at my local pharmacy. National news today stated that the Military TriCare Prime Insurance has also started that same process. My issues, number one on my list – telling me where I must get my medication. Second, heard some stories that meds by mail was not reliable and caused many people to be without their medicine, my Health Insurance is controlling my right to make my own decisions, is this right? OMG – here is one that is my favorite to talk about – immigration. Those who have fought the battle to become an American – I have deep respect for you but illegal immigrants who are here for the American welfare – I have no respect. America is too lax in its laws on immigration. Big Business wants cheap labor but some ...
Here is an example of what the new healthcare will mean for the Americans who will be paying so everybody can get some: Jeff Gerhart My soap box to everyone, not any one person: There are a few good things in the new Health Care package. But those can be carved out and used in other and better methods. Obama Care is NOT the method!!! I started with Blue Cross around 23 years ago. My PPO premium was $147 per quarter. And I still have the same policy today. For 2 years prior to Obama Care passing and with no new claims, my premium was, then, $497 per month. Notice I said per month... not per quarter like when I started. That was painful already, but at least it had been $497 per month for years. Still, I had been SCREAMING for more than a decade that the premium rise was not in line with Health Care inflation. Yes, something needed and still needs to be done. And this package ain't it people!!! Once Obama Care passed, within 6 months of that passage my premium jumped (in preparation for Obama Care) the LARG ...
