...Stepfamily Association of America, 71% of whom were married for the second time, said they kept some money aside. Author Heidi Evans estimates that millions of wives hide money. For her 1999 book, How To Hide Money From Your Husband ... and Other Time-Honored Ways to Build a Nest Egg, Evans interviewed women ages 26 to 83 whose secret stockpiles ranged from a mere $200 to a mountainous $200,000. "It's something of a sisterhood," she says...
...pancakes was delightful (and, at $5, affordable), and the French toast with cinnamon apples, with its perfect degrees of sweetness and round-the-edge-crispness, had me rolling over on the sofa with glee. And while I admit to a certain preference for omelettes, even those who are not egg-aficionados would acknowledge the superiority of the four-egg omelette. The concoction of bacon, onions, green peppers, mushrooms and cheddar cheese was moist without being soggy. Though the menu definitely favors the breakfast side of brunch, there is still a selection for the lunch-inclined, ranging from a build-your...
...scientists' basic strategy was the same as in most post-Dolly cloning experiments: remove the nucleus of the egg, with its single set of chromosomes, and replace it with the nucleus of a mature cell, containing two sets (in this case, the mature nuclei came from cumulus cells, which surround eggs during development). With a quantity of eggs that a commentary in Science calls "whopping," the scientists were able to experiment with different techniques to find which worked best--varying the time between inserting the new nucleus and zapping it with electricity to trigger cell division, for example, or testing...
...Korean team believes that two other factors may have helped them succeed. While most cloners suck out an egg's nucleus with a tiny pipette, Moon and Hwang made a pinhole in the cell wall and used a tiny glass needle to apply pressure and squeeze the nucleus out. "It's more gentle with the egg and allows you to remove only the DNA and leave some of the major components of the egg still inside," says Jose Cibelli, a professor of animal biotechnology at Michigan State University and a co-author of the Science paper. "Actually, it's pure...
Which is a fitting way to put things. When Kip was in eighth grade, he wrote a paper on Faberge, years before the first egg came into the Forbes fold. The eggs are important historical markers for Russians. Czar Alexander III commissioned the Russian jeweler Peter Carl Faberge in 1885 to make an Easter present for his wife. His son Nicholas II continued the tradition for more than 30 years. After the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks lost track of the eggs--there were probably 50--and when they reappeared in Western art markets (after being smuggled out of the country...
