What to do, what to do? You've just moved into your new pad, and have been at your new job for 6 months. You've got money saved up to furnish your new place in style, which includes something you've always wanted - a Game Room.

Not just any game room, but one where you can escape; a place to relax and unwind after a busy day at work. A spot to not only watch the game and have a beer, but a place to play. This room will have it all.

A comfy chair or two for you and your friends, maybe a minibar and definitely a games table. But what kind? What type of table should you include in your new hideaway? You have several choices; you just need to decide which one you will buy.

First of all, you could choose the ever-popular pool table. Definitely a good investment, but is it what you really want? If you're looking for some fast fun that anyone can enjoy, a pool table might not be the way to go. Pool games can be long, and may intimidate any guests who don't have a lot of experience with a cue.

Or you could consider a ping-pong table. These are fun, but do tend to take up a lot of room. Of course, one of the benefits of ping-pong is that you can play alone (with one side of the table raised) or with 3 other friends. It does lend itself well to allowing multiple players. However, they do take up a lot of room, and space is definitely a consideration.

A foosball table is another option, and there's not really much to say against them. They do take time to break in and if not cared for properly can actually be difficult to use. But they are rousing fun for any age.

Finally,you could consider an air hockey table? They are available in a large range of sizes (the really small ones can even be used on a tabletop), and are very reasonably priced.

A game of air hockey is short, played until one person reaches 7 points. It is easy to learn and fast-paced enough to keep even the most distractible person interested. Air hockey is a fun game that beginners and experts alike seldom tire of.

Because air hockey tables come is such a variety of sizes (just under 4-feet long for the tabletop models and up to 8-feet for a professional table), there is sure to be a table out there that will fit into your new room.

Another good thing about air hockey is that once you've bought your table, mallets and pucks, there's nothing else to purchase (unless your dog eats a puck or two...). No chalk to buy, no cue sticks to replace, no ping pong balls to dig out from under the couch. Yes, air hockey is a game that just keeps going.No matter what type of game table you choose to invest in, you'll reap the benefits in fun for years to come.

Hockey is one of the most popular contact games played in the US, probably next only to soccer and rugby. There are several versions of hockey played such as field, inline, rink and ice hockey. All use specialized gear and equipment.

The basic equipment of hockey is a stick, which may be about three feet long. Hockey sticks are round and generally made of wood covered with fiberglass; aluminum sticks are also used and both varieties feature suede and rubber grips. Field hockey sticks have hooked bases, which are rounded at one end and flat at the other to accurately smack the ball into the goal. Ice hockey and inline hockey sticks have broader bases and most are designed for right-handed players. When holding the upper portion of the stick with your left hand and the lower portion with your right, the base curves forward, forming a shallow scoop for catching and guiding the puck.

Field hockey uses a molded plastic ball. Ice hockey and inline hockey use hard, vulcanized rubber discs called pucks. Both balls are sized according to hockey associations. The objective of any version of hockey is to guide the ball or puck towards the goal net. Goal nets are supported by steel frames and have durable synthetic nylon nets.

Protective gear and team jerseys are just as important as the skates or footwear, the stick and the puck. Protective hockey gear is comprised of a chest protector, a helmet, large padded shorts, shin pads, a neck protector, and other gear. Make sure you use all protective gear whenever you play hockey. Some pick-up games of hockey are not played with protective gear, but safety should come first.

Wolfgang Puck 7qt 4-in-1 Pressure Cooker BPCR0007

Capture slow-cooked flavor without spending all day in the kitchen using this Wolfgang Puck 7qt 4-in-1 Pressure Cooker. It's a pressure cooker, stock pot, rice cooker and steamer all in one kitchen appliance, giving you an incredible range of cooking options at your fingertips. Featuring 5 preset cooking modes, a delayed cooking function and a programmable timer, you can create incredible meals, infused with sensational flavor, in a fraction of the time required by conventional cooking.What is Refurbished? When a product is refurbished, it is made to look like and operate as a brand new item should. Many times it is as simple as the box being opened by mistake or for quality checks. Once the box has been opened, that item cannot be sold as new. Items with serious malfunctions are not refurbished, it would cost too much to refurbish them to 'like new' condition. Each refurbished item we feature is completely inspected, rerun down the production line and triple checked for quality before being packed and shipped. Most of the time the only difference between new and refurbished is the brown box and the lower price, which is your gain as an educated consumer.


A few weeks ago I was researching the KitchenAid stand mixer and I came across a blog post by someone that I thought was not the best advice. The blog post was all about making pancakes with your mixer (or any stand mixer really). Now the recipe was probably pretty good but the process is what was flawed in my opinion.

For me pancakes are all about being soft and light and fluffy. They should not be dense or chewy or gummy in any way. If I wanted that, I could make a trip to one of those all night breakfast joints and get a stack of hockey puck flap jacks.

No, for me pancakes need to be handled with care and attention. The reason is gluten. Now for a bit of food science. Gluten is a protein, actually it is a composition of 2 proteins named gliadin and glutenin. When water is added to wheat flour and then mechanically mixed, gluten forms. And it is this wonderful gluten that gives bread dough and pasta their chewy and elastic characteristics. But since the gluten content is increased by mechanical mixing or kneading, it is not something we ever want to do if we desire to have light and fluffy pancakes.

So, the next time you want to enjoy some pan fried goodness for breakfast, leave your mixer tucked neatly away. Instead, follow this basic cooking process.

You can use any basic pancake recipe that you like. The key to a great result is in the mixing. What you want to do is mix all the dry ingredients first in a bowl that is large enough for your batter. Next, mix all the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.

Now, before you add the wet to the dry, get prepared. An electric griddle is probably the best appliance for cooking pancakes at home but if you have to use a frying pan, that will also work. There are 2 differences. An electric griddle has a built-in thermostat which means the heat will remain more constant than with a pan on the stove. Second, the griddle means you can cook a lot more pancakes at the same time. I use a pan on the stove myself but I never cook more than one pancake at a time and I keep them warm in the oven till ready to serve. It's not the best but I have no more room to store a griddle so I chose not to buy one. Using my stove, I heat the pan for 2 minutes at level 5. Then I turn down the heat to 4 when cooking. If I notice that things are taking too long, I increase the heat for about another minute and then lower to 4 again.

Now that you have a hot cooking appliance ready, it is time to mix the batter. You want to achieve the mixing as fast as possible without activating too much gluten. So, take the wet ingredients and literally dump them into the dry. Then take a spatula and fold in the wet ingredients for 10 to 15 seconds. That is it. Some of the dry may not be perfectly mixed but that is all right. I have never had a lumpy pancake using this method.

Next, place some batter on the griddle or in the frying pan and wait. You want to see the bubbles forming all around the outside of the pancake. That is the sign of a flapjack that is ready to be flipped. If the heat is high enough the bottom will be nice and brown. If it is too low it will be pale in color and conversely if it is too hot the bottom will be very dark. So as gently as possible flip the flapjack and continue cooking the opposite side. Normally the second side will cook in half the time as the first.

When serving the pancake always have real maple syrup on hand. It can make all the difference in the world and the taste is like no other. Since you put all this care and attention into making the best pancakes you could, you deserve to have them sweetened perfectly with a little maple syrup.

There you have it. Next time you get a craving for some flapjacks, keep the KitchenAid mixer covered and instead use the dump and fold method for the lightest and fluffiest pancakes you can make at home.

She has discovered some useful tips and secrets for selecting the proper Kitchen Aid stand mixer which she freely shares with her readers.

GE 54807 Push On/Off Round Closet Light - Battery Operated




Do you want to train and hone your skills in hockey and become the next Wayne Gretzky? If you do, then you need to do two things: get some hockey training equipment and start practicing.

There are many types of hockey training equipment being sold out there to improve speed, strength, and agility. If you want to skate faster and leave your opponents in the dust, then there are various forms of equipment that can help with that. One of them is a special belt with cords attached to it which is designed to develop a skater's power and speed. Two players, one standing behind the other, will each wear a belt. A cord from the belt of the one behind will be attached to the belt of the one in front. The two players will start skating in opposite directions, the one in front will skate forward and the behind will skate backwards. When the resistance of the cord is tightened enough, the player behind will release the cord and the one in front will be propelled forward. This will give the player in front a big boost so he can learn to skate faster.

Aside from developing a player's skating skill, learning to shoot a puck properly and effectively is vital in the game. After all, you can not score unless you hit the puck in the goal. There are various pucks currently available in the market today that are designed for training. These pucks weigh either lighter or heavier than the regulation pucks so the player can practice hitting heavily and lightly.

You do not need a lot of cash to train to become a great hockey player. All you need is determination, passion for the game, and the help of these training equipment. They will aid you to improve your skills, develop discipline, and to make you a better player.

puck electric

It has been a crazy last 12 months in the National Hockey League. This has been the greatest renovation in the history of sports. They changed just about everything. The NHL is nothing like what it was a few years ago. It looks like it will be a completely new game with new rules, new salary structure and a new television partner. Now, if you have been a fan for years and you think you know the game, well, we are guessing that this year you looking into the unknown. We know one thing for sure and that is that no one has a clue on how hockey will look like this year.
As a matter of fact you might not even see the games. No were not kidding. OLN (Outdoor Living Network) only reaches a little over 70% of the homes in the United States and Canada that ESPN did. ESPN had about 90 millions subscribers compared to the 65 millions home OLN can reach.
Will hockey be a faster game with more scoring?
There are a few indicators that say, yes. Hey, whats with the no more ties rule? Sure it is better to have the old win/loss but is the sudden death shootout the way to go? And what about the goalies? They lose about 11% padding. Guess that would be ok if they could still freeze the puck but with the new rules they cant anymore. Man, thats gotta hurt. Then just when you thought you knew the game they went and moved the lines on you. Where did the red line go? Sorry, guys we dont have one anymore. If you really want to get a complete picture then just check out the research/bio info and we will point you in the right direction.

When a product is refurbished, it is made to look like and operate as a brand new item should. Many times it is as simple as the box being opened by mistake or for quality checks. Once the box has been opened, that item cannot be sold as new. Items with serious malfunctions are not refurbished, it would cost too much to refurbish them to 'like new' condition. Each refurbished item we feature is completely inspected, rerun down the production line and triple checked for quality before being packed and shipped. Most of the time the only difference between new and refurbished is the brown box and the lower price, which is your gain as an educated consumer. We are so confident with the quality of our refurbished items that we offer a full 30 day return policy with every purchase, so buy with confidence!


Do you want to train and hone your skills in hockey and become the next Wayne Gretzky? If you do, then you need to do two things: get some hockey training equipment and start practicing.

There are many types of hockey training equipment being sold out there to improve speed, strength, and agility. If you want to skate faster and leave your opponents in the dust, then there are various forms of equipment that can help with that. One of them is a special belt with cords attached to it which is designed to develop a skater's power and speed. Two players, one standing behind the other, will each wear a belt. A cord from the belt of the one behind will be attached to the belt of the one in front. The two players will start skating in opposite directions, the one in front will skate forward and the behind will skate backwards. When the resistance of the cord is tightened enough, the player behind will release the cord and the one in front will be propelled forward. This will give the player in front a big boost so he can learn to skate faster.

Aside from developing a player's skating skill, learning to shoot a puck properly and effectively is vital in the game. After all, you can not score unless you hit the puck in the goal. There are various pucks currently available in the market today that are designed for training. These pucks weigh either lighter or heavier than the regulation pucks so the player can practice hitting heavily and lightly.

You do not need a lot of cash to train to become a great hockey player. All you need is determination, passion for the game, and the help of these training equipment. They will aid you to improve your skills, develop discipline, and to make you a better player.
