ORLANDO, FL, September 26, 2010 (Press-News.org) Many kids' lunches often sit unrefrigerated for hours at school before they are consumed. If you're packing a school lunch, ShelfLifeAdvice.com has important tips to help you keep your child's food nutritious, satisfying and safe before lunchtime even when refrigeration is not possible.
Keep the Lunch Cool
To keep your lunch cool, ShelfLifeAdvice.com recommends placing a frozen item in the lunchbox such as an ice pack, juice box or bottle of water to reduce the risk of contamination with perishable foods. The frozen liquid will keep the food cool and should thaw by lunchtime. Sandwiches can also be made ahead of time and kept refrigerated or frozen before being placed in the lunch box. Don't freeze sandwiches with mayonnaise, lettuce or tomato slices; they will make the sandwich soggy. Pack these items separately in an airtight bag.
Choose the Right Lunchbox
An insulated lunch box or bag is best for keeping food cold because it creates a sealed barrier between the lunch bag's content and the outside air.
Pick the Right Foods
Many foods can keep well without needing to be kept cool. Here are some tips from ShelfLifeAdvice.com to help you choose the right foods to pack:
-Raw veggies: carrot and celery sticks, broccoli florets, pea pods
-Raw fruits: grapes, cherries, apples, bananas, peaches, plums
-Breads and grains: bagels, pita, crackers, cereal bars, granola bars
-Desserts: pie (not cream pie), single-serving pudding cups, cookies, brownies
-Convenience foods: chips, canned tuna, dry cereal, popcorn

NeoMetrix to Sell "Star Trek" Style Transporter
2010-09-26
In my earlier years, I had envisioned myself pursuing a career as a star ship captain or other type of space explorer. Why not? At 12 years old, I watched space adventures like "Space 1999", which clearly showed the type of advanced technology that would be readily available within my lifetime.
As we all know, reality has not really kept pace with the predictions in science fiction, at least in regards to space travel. However, two different technologies have advanced to levels very close to those depicted some 30 years ago: 3D scanning and 3D printing.
