I can’t believe the number of presidential candidates that exist. I’m sure we can all agree on the thought that some of them are viable candidates, but there are a good many that simply can’t even compete. Nevertheless, every one of them is feverishly raising funds. It seems to me that they’re all spending more time fundraising than actually campaigning. In all of this, I can’t help wondering just how many of these presidential candidates honestly have no aspiration or intention of moving into the big white house. How many are on the campaign trail simply for the fundraising? When these people are raising tens of millions of dollars, how hard would it be to skim off a few million and stash it away for a rainy day? When a candidate raises twenty or thirty million dollars over the course of a campaign, would three or four million dollars (in small bites) be missed? After a campaign is over and the “War Chest” still has a few million dollars in it, where does this money go? Just the accumulated interest would be a handsome sum. Sometimes you just have to wonder……………&he llip;…………….. At one time, I used to Hunt and Hike a lot. I'd make these the night before, and put them into the Refrigerator. They go into a coat pocket, for a mid day snack, real well.
For a Campout, I'd freeze them in Freezer bags and pack them into my Ice Chest.
They also work real well as Appetizers at a party, when sliced into quarters and put onto a tray.
Here's how to make them:
Scotch Eggs
12 eggs (Hard Boiled)
2 lbs. Pork Sausage (Mild or Hot, whatever you like)
Hard boil the eggs (about 15 minutes).
After boiling, quench them in cold water until they’re cool to the touch.
Peel off the shells and rinse.
While the eggs are boiling, separate the Sausage into 12 equal parts.
Flatten them each into a patty (of sorts).
Roll an egg in flour, then place a patty of Sausage over the egg and work the sausage around the egg, to create a complete outer cover around it. Pay special attention to the end where the Sausage meets. Punch it closed well.
When the Egg is completely encased in a layer of Sausage, roll it in flour again. Place it into a hot Deep Fryer until the outside becomes golden brown. It should take around a minute.
Do this for all 12 eggs and allow them to drain onto a plate with a couple of Paper Towels for about 10 minutes.
When they’ve cooled to almost room temperature, they’re ready to eat, or place into freezer bags and freeze.
Here's what you need to know, to make a College Education pay off. Take a gander at what the world is willing to pay for certain types of education. Just remember that, for the most part, four years of College cost about the same, no matter what degree is earned..... Today's Best Entry-Level Salaries By Mary Lorenz, CareerBuilder.com writer
http://msn.careerbuilder.co... Whether you're a recent grad who's been living in your parents' basement since Commencement Day or in the midst of your college career trying to figure out what you should major in, there's good news coming your way.
According to a recent study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), members of the class of 2007 can expect to earn bigger starting salaries as they enter the workforce than their predecessors. Results show that the average starting salary has increased across many disciplines since last year, the result of increased competition among employers for employees fresh out of college. Furthermore, hiring managers expect this trend to continue for years to come.
Among those graduates who will benefit from the highest entry-level salary increases are those with degrees in marketing, whose average offer is up 6.1 percent this year at $40,161.
Not only will engineering graduates enjoy a significant increase in starting salaries, they will also receive the highest salary offers overall. Offer amounts are up 5.4 percent for chemical and civil engineers at $59,361 and $48,509, respectively; 4.8 percent for computer engineers at $56,201; 4.6 percent for mechanical engineering grads $54,128; and 3.2 percent at $55,292.
Salary offers for those with degrees in management information systems/business data processing have increased 4.2 percent for an average starting salary of $47,648. Those who hold computer science degrees should expect average starting salaries of $53,396, up 4.1 percent from last year, and information sciences graduates will receive an average offer of $50,852, a 4.6 percent increase.
Not into numbers? Take heart: Although on the lower end of the spectrum, starting salaries for liberal arts graduates have also increased. Offers for political science/government majors are up 5.9 percent, raising their average offer to $34,590. English majors are also faring well with a 5.3 percent increase, bringing their average offer to $32,553. Psychology majors saw a 4.7 percent increase with an average offer of $31,631; sociology majors gained 3.5 percent, making their average offer $32,033; and history majors' starting salaries increased by 3.3 percent to $33,768.
"Job and salary prospects for new grads are excellent right now," says Nathan Lippe, Senior Career Adviser at CBcampus.com. "But it's important that job seekers do their research in order to get the most out of these opportunities. Research the company and the average starting salary for your industry so you know what you're worth. Go to career fairs. Meet with recruiters. Do everything you can."
