@toddo67 Jim -- an NHL colleague of mine for a short bit

in more six degrees of Rex Ryan: a friend of mine post-NYC was on the Houston Oilers practice squad/ sideline when Rex's dad Buddy Ryan punched Kevin Gilbride during a game

[michael a. berger @bergerhere]

'ironic' is often misused when folks most usually mean 'coincidental' or 'interestingly'

Rex Ryan being arrested for running over people's feet is ironic

Terrific column on @DStarmanHockey, the modern-day Sal Messina! Both amateur goaltenders from NY who then became the @NYRangers radio analyst. Sal worked a “day job” too - selling airplane parts - while becoming a HOF broadcaster. @MSGNetworks @RangersMSGN https://t.co/Lnrfc4BEW1

it is the greatest trophy in North American sport and the impact it has on fans -- and even those who know little of the game -- is magical

[Shawn Roarke @sroarke_nhl]

I've been all across the world with @StanleyCup and have seen joy it brings to those in its company. But, i never understood the full power of the trophy until I watched it visit a First Nation community in Northern Ontario. I hope you read this. It means a lot to me.

anyone who eats scrambled eggs they can't personally see cracked from the shell deserves everything they get

[The Food Manufacturing Guy @TipOfTheBanana]

The scrambled eggs at a hotel breakfast are 19% water, and they're dyed.

A lot of hotels and cafeterias pour them from a carton of Papetti's Breakfast Blend. The spec sheet reads whole eggs, 19% water, then under 2% of salt, xanthan gum, citric acid, annatto color and natural butter flavor. Papetti's is part of Michael Foods, one of the biggest egg processors in the country.

Every ingredient has a job on a steam table. Xanthan gum holds the added water in the egg so it doesn't weep into the pan. Citric acid keeps the eggs from turning gray or green under a heat lamp. Annatto puts back the yolk color the water washed out. The butter flavor is there because nobody is going to add butter. The carton keeps for 98 days in the cooler.

The plain version from the same company is whole eggs, whey, skim milk, xanthan and citric acid, with almost no added water and half the sodium.
