[BlindHandyMan] Good food practice
http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/895_kitchen.html 1. Refrigerators should stay at 40 F (5 C) or less, so if you chose answer B, give yourself two points. If you didn't, you're not alone. According to Robert Buchanan, Ph.D., senior science adviser and director of science in the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, many people overlook the importance of maintaining an appropriate refrigerator temperature. According to surveys, in many households, the refrigerator temperature is above 50 degrees (10 C), he said. His advice: Measure the temperature with a thermometer and, if needed, adjust the refrigerator's temperature control dial. A temperature of 40 F (5 C) or less is important because it slows the growth of most bacteria. The temperature won't kill the bacteria, but it will keep them from multiplying, and the fewer there are, the less likely you are to get sick. Freezing at zero F (minus 18 C) or less stops bacterial growth (although it won't kill bacteria already present). 2. Answer B is the best practice; give yourself two points if you picked it. Hot foods should be refrigerated as soon as possible within two hours after cooking. But don't keep the food if it's been standing out for more than two hours. Don't taste test it, either. Even a small amount of contaminated food can cause illness. Date leftovers so they can be used within a safe time. Generally, they remain safe when refrigerated for three to five days. If in doubt, throw it out, says FDA microbiologist Kelly Bunning, Ph.D., associate senior science adviser in CFSAN: It's not worth a foodborne illness for the small amount of food usually involved. 3. If answer A best describes your household's practice, give yourself two points. Give yourself one point if you chose B. According to John Guzewich, CFSAN's director of emergency coordination and response, the kitchen sink drain, disposal and connecting pipe are often overlooked, but they should be sanitized periodically by pouring down the sink a solution of 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) of chlorine bleach in 1 quart (about 1 liter) of water or a solution of commercial kitchen cleaning agent made according to product directions. Food particles get trapped in the drain and disposal and, along with the moistness, create an ideal environment for bacterial growth. 4. If answer D best describes your household's practice, give yourself two points. If you picked A, you're violating an important food safety rule: Never allow raw meat, poultry and fish to come in contact with other foods. Answer B isn't good, either. Improper washing, such as with a damp cloth, will not remove bacteria. And washing only with soap and water may not do the job, either. To prevent cross-contamination from a cutting board, the FDA advises consumers to follow these practices: List of 3 items . Use smooth cutting boards made of hard maple or a non-porous material such as plastic and free of cracks and crevices. These kinds of boards can be cleaned easily. Avoid boards made of soft, porous materials. . Wash cutting boards with hot water, soap, and a scrub brush to remove food particles. Then sanitize the boards by putting them through the automatic dishwasher or rinsing them in a solution of 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) of chlorine bleach in 1 quart (about 1 liter) of water. . Always wash and sanitize cutting boards after using them for raw foods and before using them for ready-to-eat foods. Consider using one cutting board only for foods that will be cooked, such as raw fish, and another only for ready-to-eat foods, such as bread, fresh fruit, and cooked fish. Disposable cutting boards are a newer option, and can be found in grocery and discount chain stores. list end 5. Give yourself two points if you picked answer B or C. Ground beef must be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius). Using a digital or dial food thermometer is crucial, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says, because research results indicate that some ground meat may prematurely brown before a safe internal temperature has been reached. On the other hand, research findings also show that some ground meat patties cooked to 160 F or above may remain pink inside for a number of reasons; thus the color of meat alone is not considered a reliable indicator of ground beef safety. If eating out, order your ground beef to be cooked well-done. Temperatures for other foods to reach to be safe include: List of 5 items . beef, lamb and veal--145 F (63 C) . pork and ground beef--160 F (71 C) . whole poultry and thighs--180 F (82 C) . poultry breasts--170 F (77 C) . ground chicken or ground turkey--165 F (74 C). list end Seafood should be thoroughly cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145 F (63 C). Fish that's ground or flaked, such as a fish cake, should be cooked to at least 155 F (68 C), and stuffed fish to at least 165 F (74 C). If you don't have a meat thermometer,
RE: [BlindHandyMan] Good food practice
Somewhere in this article it should have said that the danger points in food occur between 40F and 140F. Above 140F the bacteria will not be a problem. According to Oklahoma health rules you have something like 6 hours to get food from 140F to 40F. AS I recall, you have 4 hours to get food from 140F to 80F and then you need to get the food from 80F to 40F. I believe that beef should be cooked to 165F to be well done. Rare beef is, however, 135F. You would be best served if your refrigerator was below 38F. That way you would be pretty safe.

[BlindHandyMan] About Wire, AmericanWire Gauge
Hi Wire Gauge) Numbers Some types of wire Note: For an understanding of the AWG numbers, you may want to first see the section: American Wire Gauge (AWG) table for annealed copper wire. A semi-infinite variety of wire and cable is used in modern appliances, electronics, and construction. Here is a quick summary of the buzz words so you will have some idea of what your 12 year old is talking about! * Solid wire: The current carrying conductor is a single solid piece of metal (usually copper. It may be bare, tinned (solder coated), silver plated, or something else. Solid wire may be used for general hookup inside appliances and electronics, and building (and higher power wiring) but not for cords that need to be flexible and flexed repeatedly. * Stranded wire: The current carrying conductor consists of multiple strands of copper or tinned copper (though other metals may be found in some cases). The individual strands are NOT insulated from one-another. The wire gauge is determined by the total cross sectional area (which may be a bit greater than the specified AWG number due to discrete number of strands). See the section: What about stranded wire?. Stranded wire is used for general hookup, building wiring, etc. It is easier to position than solid wire (but tends not to stay put) and more robust when flexed repeatedly. Cordsets always use finely stranded wire but despite this, may develop problems due to flexing after long use. * Magnet wire: This is a solid copper (or sometimes aluminum or silver) conductor insulated with a very thin layer of varnish or high-tech plastic. This coating must be removed either chemically, by heating in a flame, or fine sandpaper, before the wire can be connected to anything. Magnet wire is used where a large number of turns of wire must be packed as tightly as possible in a limited space - transformers, motors, relays, solenoids, etc. The very thin insulation is susceptible to nicks and other damage. * Litz wire: This is similar to stranded wire EXCEPT that the strands are individually insulated from each other (like multiple pieces of magnet wire). Litz wire is used in high frequency transformers to reduce losses (including the skin effect which results in current only traveling near the surface of the wire - using multiple insulated strands increases its effective surface area). Like magnet wire, the insulation needs to be removed from all strands before making connections. * Tinsel wire: A very thin, metallic conductor is wound around a flexible cloth or plastic core. Tinsel wire is found in telephone and headphone cords since it can be made extremely flexible. Repair is difficult (but not impossible) since it very fine and the conductor must be unraveled from the core for soldering. The area of the repair must be carefully insulated and will be less robust than the rest of the cord. * Shielded wire: An insulated central conductor is surrounded by a metal braid and/or foil shield. Shielded wire is used for low level audio and video, and other analog or digital signals where external interference needs to be minimized. * Coaxial cable: This is similar to shielded wire but may be more robust and have a specified impedance for transmitting signals over long distances. * Zip cord: This is 2 or 3 (or sometimes more) conductor cable where the plastic insulation is scored so that the individual wires can be easily separated for attachment to the plug or socket. * 14/2, 12/3, etc.: These are the abbreviations used for building (electrical) wire like Romex (which is one name brand) and for round or zip-type cordset wire. The conductor material is usually copper. Note: Some houses during the '50s and '60s were constructed with aluminum wiring which has since been found to result in significantly increased risk of fire and other problems. For more information, see the references listed in the section: Safe electrical wiring. However, aluminum wiring is safe if installed according to very specific guidelines (and is used extensively in power transmission and distribution - probably for your main connection to the utility - due to its light weight and low cost). The first number is the AWG wire gauge. The second number is the number of insulated conductors (excluding any bare safety ground if present). For example: - A 14/2 Romex cable has white and black insulated solid #14 AWG current carrying conductors and a bare safety ground (some older similar types of cable had no safety ground, however). - A 16/3 cordset has white, black and green insulated stranded #16 AWG wires (or, overseas, blue, brown, and green or green with yellow stripe). 17.2) So, where did AWG come from? Nearly everyone who has done any sort of wiring probably knows that the AWG or American Wire Gauge number refers to the size of the wire somehow. But how? (From: Frank ([EMAIL PROTECTED])). According to the 'Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers' (Fink and

Dan: my man! I can swing a nine pound sledge hammer with one hand while holding the Waratah (steel fence post) with the other.
