I'm looking for a recipe... a girl from my work brought these in on her last day and I won't ever get to see her again to find out what they are or the recipe!! Maybe someone out there has a similar recipe...
They were either butterscotch cookies or toffee cookies (I'm thinkin butterscotch)... they had some type of nuts in them... and I think they were no bake... but I could be wrong. They also had a coating of powered sugar on them. Anyone have any ideas?Butterscotch or toffee cookies with powdered sugar coating?
INGREDIENTS
1 (18.25 ounce) package butter cake mix
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant butterscotch pudding mix
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup butterscotch chips
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In a medium bowl, stir together the cake mix, instant pudding and flour. Add oil and egg, mix until well blended. Stir in the pecans and butterscotch chips. Batter will be somewhat crumbly.
Scoop cookies with a small ice cream scoop or compress 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges are just starting to brown. Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes before removing from baking sheet to cool on wire racks.

What can I do to make sure this strange white powder coating everything on my job isn't a health hazard?
My job relocated from a clean modern building with great maintenance and security, to a dirty rodent infested building that's at least 40 years old because it was more cost effective.
The water fountains are turned off because of the lead pipes. There are mouse dropping in my cubicle everyday and the whole office is coated in a strange white powder. The building has repeatedly been sited by the health department but nothing has been done.
OSHA has tested the powder and says its not Legionaries Disease, which one of our other buildings did have, and its not asbestos, even though a contractor left the building and refused to complete repairs on our AC claiming the building had asbestos. They says it has a high mold content but that's not something they deal with.
A lot of people in the building have a persistent cough and my desk is right under a vent so I not only have a cough but have horrible headaches as well.
I currently have to wipe my desk off with bleach wipes everyday just to keep the dust off my clothes. The dust is so thick when I come to work on Mondays that you can write in it. Plus its not like regular dust as its grainy. I really think this stuff is dangerous but I can't afford to quit and look for a new job.
What can I do to find out what this stuff is? And how can I protect myself?What can I do to make sure this strange white powder coating everything on my job isn't a health hazard?
Take a brush and sweep up some of the material into a small clean and dry bottle (like a pill bottle). Then look in the yellow pages for an asbestos lab. Send them the sample and they will give you a report. Call them first that you want a complete breakdown, not just positive/negative. It is probably just dust, fibers, and maybe some fiberglass, but only testing can tell. EMSL is a national lab that can help (answerer is not affiliated). Call the closest location and explain what you have concerns about. If it is only normal dust, there is not much you can do beyond what you already do. I would use something like lysol wipes in rotation with the bleach wipes for better coverage. Use a different one type each day but not at the same time.What can I do to make sure this strange white powder coating everything on my job isn't a health hazard?
I don't know how you can find out what the dust is apart from reporting this to the Occ Health and Safety authorities.
You need to get yourself moved to a different desk. Tell your employer that it is making you sick and that you don't want them to have to be liable for huge medical bills.
You say you cannot afford to change jobs but can you afford to get mesothelioma if it is asbestos? Even if it is something else, you are breathing that in and your lungs could form scar tissue around the deposits. Any type of irregularity in the form or function of your lungs can cause cells to get out of whack with their dividing and that is the beginning of cancer. At the very least you could get one of a number of lung and/or respiratory conditions
You have to either change jobs or move to a different area. Dust that you can write in is not good! Especially when it isn't dust! Put pressure on the health department and if you can, put pressure on your employers. Let them know that it could end up being more expensive if they do nothing.
Good Luck and think of your future. When you are lying in a hospital bed suffering, you will wish you got the heck away from that weird ';dust';.

Does anyone think its a good idea to get my 20inch bmx powder coated rather than respraying it myself?

Powder coat! I have had my frames powder coated, and I love the results. There are literally hundreds of colors available, including metallics and clear coats. You can have them base it in color -- add graphics -- then have it clear coated in powder.
The best thing is they do the professional preparation. Either chemical removal or bead blasting -- or both -- to the old paint.
No paint coating is as durable as powder coat.
FYI -- I can drop off a frame and fork, and pick it up finished for $150.Does anyone think its a good idea to get my 20inch bmx powder coated rather than respraying it myself?
Yes powder coating is better for the environment and will get you a nicer looking paint job that lasts longer.makeup advice

What's better, galvanized or powder coated rat cages?
I'm looking for a good rat cage, in the price range of $30-65.00.
I will NOT buy from PetSmart or PetCo.
I only have one rat, and she's currently being housed in a glass aquarium, and she's not doing too well in it, so I'm looking for something better for her.
I also will not use cage toppers; they are far too diffucult to clean.
Thanks.What's better, galvanized or powder coated rat cages?
Galvanized is definantly better. They chew they powder coated ones up and eat it off the bars. Get the thicker strand wire, I had a cage with thin wire bars and some of my rats could snap the threads in half. Try martins cages, I have boughten and used their ideas in making my cages for rats! Not to hard to clean i just got a wire cleaner brush and spray bottle with weak bleach solution. Took it outside sprayed it down and rinsed with hose, I let it dry and bam it was done.
http://www.martinscages.com/products/cag鈥?/a>What's better, galvanized or powder coated rat cages?
rat urine and galvanized steel are something i personally would not mix!
I say powder coated!!! PVC is ok too but powder coating lasts much longer.
Martinscages.com has excellent cages! both the rat and ferret ones should be considered.. when i had my rats they lived in the F-475 it was ratty heaven.
2 cubic feet per rat is recommended when caging...
here is a page to compare the sizes of Martinscages:

other alternatives for a single rat would be a med/lrg bird cage, or a homemade cabinet style cage...
Here is a whole bunch of cages and thier setups for you to look through so you can come up with something you like;
http://www.goosemoose.com/component/opti鈥?/a>
(my pics are on page 2 under the name boobaloo if your curious)
Definitely powder coated! It's so much better on their feet when climbing and stays clean much longer. It's really easy to clean too.
I am not a big fan of Petsmart, but for smaller cages (especially Super Pet type cages) they are definitely the cheapest. Otherwise, martins cages are good. Just a suggestion, get a friend for your rat. They are so much happier in pairs or multiples. Adding another rat won't take up more of your time or be any more expensive. If anything, it will save you money because it will keep your current rattie occupied and happy. They are definitely social creatures.

It's a great rat forum with tons of fun people and great information.
galvanized will be better. Powerder coated cages look good, but rats will definatley claw it up and make it look cheap. I would definatley go with galvanized.

Do you know how powder coating services can be used for pharmaceutical industry?
Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a ';skin.'; The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is mainly used for coating of metals, such as ';whiteware';, aluminium extrusions, and automobile and bicycle parts. Newer technologies allow other materials, such as MDF (medium-density fibreboard), to be powder coated using different methods.
source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_coatingDo you know how powder coating services can be used for pharmaceutical industry?
Yes they can. In our case it was a 20% bleach wipe-down application on a welded steel base and misc mild steel components.
The powder coat is holding up better than a simply painted (sprayed) coating. The lower out gassing is an added/wanted benefit.
We chose:
Epoxy - hard - chemical resistant - excellent corrosion protection.
Color: white - it's medical - looks better - looks cleaner.
Smooth texture - requirement to stay clean and easy to wipe down.
We used DuPont ELW505S9Do you know how powder coating services can be used for pharmaceutical industry?
Lots of them over here

Is is possible to paint a ';black satin powder coating w/ a shining polished face'; aluminum grill black? steps?
I'm ordering this grill combo for my car (Ebay auction below) and want to paint it black because it doesn't come in black. Is this possible? What are the necessary steps i need to take?

Sure you can! Wash with hot soap and water, If it is not clear coated you can use a etching aluminum wheel cleaner. Re-wash.Use a 3M Scotch Brite pad and scuff all areas including corners, Use Krylon semi-flat black paint ( I always warm the paint in a sink full of hot water for about 5 minutes, aids in drying to a harder finish), apply several coats at different angles to get full coverage. Since this not not actual powder coating you may have to refinish once a year. I did all the chrome on a black Suburban using this method over a year ago and it still looks great!Is is possible to paint a ';black satin powder coating w/ a shining polished face'; aluminum grill black? steps?
No.
