|The TofuXpress is "a versatile food press that presses tofu, veggies, cheese, and other foods. Make vegan cheese, macrobiotic salads, and more! Press water out, let flavor in!"
If you have been following Scissors and Spice, you know how I have often extolled the virtues of one of my favorite kitchen gadgets, the TofuXpress.
The TofuXpress presses excess water out of foods in a quick and efficient way. No more stacking heavy cans and water filled pots on top of your tofu to squeeze out its excess water! This makeshift process always takes too long, squashes your tofu, makes a mess and never really removes all of the water. Who needs to deal with that malarkey? You've got better things to do!
|The lid press the tofu and then snaps into place.
With the TofuXpress, you place your block of tofu in the press, place the tension spring lid on top of the tofu, snap the lid into place, and the gentle, even pressure compresses the tofu and rids it of any water. The best part is, you can leave it in the fridge while all this magic is happening! Once you drain the water, the tofu can then be neatly marinated in the press tray! Ingenious! And the way the tofu fries and bakes after it has been pressed is like nothing you have experienced before.
|Look at how much water was removed after only 5 minutes!
But wait! There's more! The TofuXpress works for more than tofu! Remember when I was into the Bahn Mi making? When I would pickle daikon for the sandwiches, I used have to salt it and then it sit a paper towel lined colander for at least an hour to remove the vegetable's water. With the TofuXpress, it took about 5 minutes, and there was no mess! Hoo-ray!
Ok, enough of my crushin' on the TofuXpress! Are you ready to WIN one?

The OpenSceneGraph is an OpenSource, cross platform graphics toolkit for the development of high performance graphics applications such as flight simulators, games, virtual reality and scientific visualization. Based around the concept of a SceneGraph, it provides an object oriented framework on top of OpenGL freeing the developer from implementing and optimizing low level graphics calls, and provides many additional utilities for rapid development of graphics applications.
With the OpenSceneGraph our goal is to make the benefits of scene graph technology freely available to all, both commercial and non commercial users. Written entirely in Standard C++ and OpenGL, it makes full use of the STL and DesignPatterns, and leverages the open source development model to provide a development library that is legacy free and focused on the needs of end users. The key strengths of OpenSceneGraph are its performance, scalability, portability and the productivity gains associated with using a fully featured scene graph, in more detail:
- Performance
Supports view frustum culling, occlusion culling, small feature culling, Level Of Detail (LOD) nodes, state sorting, vertex arrays, vertex buffer objects, OpenGL? Shader Language and display lists as part of the core scene graph. These together make the OpenSceneGraph one of the highest performance graphics toolkit available. The OpenSceneGraph also supports easy customization of the drawing process, such as implementation of Continuous Level of Detail (CLOD) meshes on top of the scene graph (see Virtual Terrain Project and Delta3D).
- Productivity
The core scene graph encapsulates the majority of OpenGL functionality including the latest extensions, provides rendering optimizations such as culling and sorting, and a whole set of add on libraries which make it possible to develop high performance graphics applications very rapidly. The application developer is freed to concentrate on content and how that content is controlled rather than low level coding.
Combining lessons learned from established scene graphs like Performer and Open Inventor, with modern software engineering methods like Design Patterns, along with a great deal of feedback early on in the development cycle, it has been possible to design a library that is clean and extensible. This has made it easy for users to adopt to the OpenSceneGraph and to integrate it with their own applications.
- Database loaders
For reading and writing databases the database library (osgDB) adds support for a wide variety of database formats via a extensible dynamic plugin mechanism - the distribution now includes 55 separate plugins for loading various 3D database and image formats. 3D database loaders include COLLADA, LightWave (.lwo), Alias Wavefront (.obj), OpenFlight (.flt), TerraPage (.txp) including multi-threaded paging support, Carbon Graphics GEO (.geo), 3D Studio MAX (.3ds), Peformer (.pfb), AutoCAd? (.dxf), Quake Character Models (.md2). Direct X (.x), and Inventor Ascii 2.0 (.iv)/ VRML 1.0 (.wrl), Designer Workshop (.dw) and AC3D (.ac) and the native .osg ASCII format. Image loaders include .rgb, .gif, .jpg, .png, .tiff, .pic, .bmp, .dds (include compressed mip mapped imagery), .tga and quicktime (under OSX). A full range of high quality, anti-aliased fonts can also be loaded via the freetype plugin, and image based fonts can be loaded via the .txf plugin.
Users can also generate large scale geospatial (multi GB) terrain databases via the companion project (VirtualPlanentBuilder), and use the OpenSceneGraph's native database paging support to view these database.
- Node Kits
The scene graph also has a set of Node Kits which are separate libraries that can be compiled in with your applications or loaded in at runtime, which add support for particle systems (osgParticle), high quality anti-aliased text (osgText), special effects framework (osgFX), shadow framework (osgShadow?), shadow framework (osgManipulator?) and visual simulation centric effects (osgSim).
- Portability
The core scene graph has been designed to have minimal dependency on any specific platform, requiring little more than Standard C++ and OpenGL. This has allowed the scene graph to be rapidly ported to a wide range of platforms - originally developed on IRIX, then ported to Linux, then to Windows, then FreeBSD, Mac OSX, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and even PlayStation?2!
The core scene graph library being completely windowing system independent makes it easy for users to add their own window-specific libraries and applications on top. In the distribution the osgViewer? library provides native windowing support under Windows (Win32), Unices (X11) and OSX (Carbon). The osgViewer library can also be easily integrated with your other windowing toolkits, to illustrate how there are Qt, GLUT, FLTK, SDL, WxWidget?, Cocoa and MFC examples as part of the OpenSceneGraph-2.0 distribution. Scalability The scene graph will not only run on portables all the way up to high end multi-core, multi-gpu systems and cluster. This is possible because the core scene graph supports multiple graphics contexts for both OpenGL? Display Lists and texture objects, and the cull and draw traversals have been designed to cache rendering data locally and use the scene graph almost entirely as a read-only operation. This allows multiple cull-draw pairs to run on multiple CPU's which are bound to multiple graphics subsystems. Support for multiple graphic context and multi-threading is all available out of the box via osgViewer - all the examples in the distribution can run multi-threaded and multi-gpu. Multi-language support Java, Lua and Python bindings for the OpenSceneGraph are also available as Community projects.
The OpenSceneGraph benefits for a diverse community of user-developers, the focal point of which is the lively osg-users public mailing list where over 1700 users discuss how to use the software, latest developments work and much more. The community also makes significant contributions to the development and testing of existing and new modules for the OpenSceneGraph itself, and third party libraries, many of which are also OpenSource. This project website is also built entirely upon trac wiki, which allows all community members access to adding their own content, and contributing tutorials etc. The Community section of this website provides further information and links to community projects, and how you can contribute to and be part of the community. The community has also developed a number of additional Node Kits such as osgNV (which includes support for NVidia's vertex, fragment, combiner etc extension and NVidia's Cg shader language.), Demeter (CLOD terrain + integration with OSG). osgCal (which integrates Cal3D and the OSG). ReplicantBody is another option for character animation which also contains high-level functionality, such as scripting, blended animation actions etc... (It also depends on Cal3D), osgHaptics integrates the haptic (force sensation) rendering toolkit OpenHaptics from Sensable Inc. osgAL can be used to integrate 3D sound (OpenAL) with osg. Additionally a whole set of libraries that integrates the leading Windowing API's can be found in the WindowingToolkits section. The project has also been integrated with VR Juggler and Vess virtual realilty frameworks, with others in development.

We are looking for people who make a difference in Jefferson County, individuals who have made our communities a better place.
The three Rotary Clubs in Jefferson County and the Peninsula Daily News invite nominations for the 2013 Jefferson County Heart of Service Award.
The Heart of Service recognizes the dedication, sacrifice and accomplishments of local people who do extraordinary things for their neighbors, their community or the environment.
The award — now in its eighth year — is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Port Townsend (noon club), the Port Townsend Sunrise Rotary Club, the East Jefferson Rotary Club and the PDN.
"This award gives us the opportunity to highlight the good works of ordinary people in Jefferson County who unselfishly give their time and energy to help others," said John Brewer, PDN editor and publisher.
"These build community. They are truly local heroes, working to make life here stronger, tighter, happier, richer."
How to nominate
■ Nominations should be made using the accompanying coupon and must be returned to the Peninsula Daily News's Port Townsend office — it is located at 1939 E. Sims Way — by 5 p.m. Monday, March 25.
■ A letter describing the merits and accomplishments of the person being nominated should be submitted with the coupon.
It should cite examples of the individual's special dedication, sacrifices and significant accomplishments in community service.
■ If possible, the nomination should include supporting documents, such as copies (not originals) of other awards, newspaper articles or letters of support.
■ Individuals, clubs, churches, businesses or other organizations may nominate.
But only individuals, not organizations, can be nominees.
■ Anyone who lives in Jefferson County can be nominated.
Recipients of the Heart of Service Award in the past are not eligible for a 2013 award.
But those previously nominated but not selected for a Heart of Service Award are eligible for renomination.
A panel of judges will review the nominations and select one to six people to receive a Heart of Service Award at a luncheon in May.
The recipients receive framed award certificates and heart-shaped medals designed by Steve Rafoth, past president of the Rotary noon club and president and CEO of Enclume Design Products in Port Hadlock.
If you have any questions about the program, please phone Brewer at his direct number, 360-417-3500 (if he's not in, there's 24/7 voice mail).

Pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary embolism happens when an artery in the lung is suddenly blocked. It's usually caused by a blood clot in a leg vein that breaks loose, travels to a lung (pulmonary) artery, and blocks blood flow. This is very serious and can be deadly.

Modelling and Analysing Cargo Screening Processes: a Project Outline Peer-Olaf Siebers, Uwe Aickelin, David Menachof, Galina Sherman, Peter Zimmerman. 2009 INFORMS at University of Warwick, June 25-27, Coventry, U.K.
The efficiency of current cargo screening processes at sea and air ports is unknown as no benchmarks exists against which they could be measured. Some manufacturer benchmarks exist for individual sensors but we have not found any benchmarks that take a holistic view of the screening procedures assessing a combination of sensors and also taking operator variability into account. Just adding up resources and manpower used is not an effective way for assessing systems where human decision-making and operator compliance to rules play a vital role.» Mehr lesen

Hybrid Simulation and Optimization-Based Capacity Planner for Integrated Photovoltaic Generation with Storage Units Esfandyar M. Mazhari. 2009 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC'09), December 13-16, Austin, TX, USA
Unlike fossil-fueled generation, solar energy resources are geographically distributed and highly intermittent, which makes their direct control difficult and requires storage units. The goal of this research is to develop a flexible capacity planning tool, which will allow us to obtain a most economical mixture of capacities from solar generation as well as storage while meeting reliability requirements against fluctuating demand and weather conditions. The tool is based on hybrid (system dynamics and agent-based models) simulation and meta-heuristic optimization.» Mehr lesen

Using Simulation Modeling for IT Cost Analysis Yuri Karpov and Timofei Popkov. The 10th HP Open View University Association Workshop, Switzerland, July 6-9, 2003
In the old days, the price for IT services was formed in a pretty standardized way. Network services had an explicit usage price per Kbit/ sec. The range of provided IT services have been growing very fast and have reached new dimensions of complexity. From infrastructure pricing to web-enabled application availability and performance nowadays the old rules for defining service pricing is not applicable any more. Today it is difficult or sometime even impossible to associate the provided service levels with the cost related to the processes of operation, maintenance and the capital cost behind it. The old measures of dollars per Kbit/sec cannot be the right measure any more.» Mehr lesen
A Modern Simulation Approach for Pharmaceutical Portfolio Management Kirk Solo and Mark Paich. International Conference on Health Sciences Simulation (ICHSS'04), January 18 - 21, 2004, San Diego, California, USA
By creating an integrated simulation environment that models the underlying structure of a pharmaceutical enterprise portfolio it becomes possible to identify the optimal longitudinal allocation of finite resources across the constellation of available investment opportunities. The implementation of a hybrid approach that integrates multiple modeling techniques and analytic disciplines allows for a comprehensive environment that captures the underlying dynamics that drive observed market behavior. The implementation of an object oriented model structure constrains the models complexity by supporting dynamic re-use of both structure and logic.» Mehr lesen
Agent Modeling of Hispanic Population Acculturation and Behavior Lyle Wallis, Mark Paich, and Andrei Borshchev. The 3rd International Conference on Systems Thinking in Management (ICSTM 2004), May 19 - 21, 2004, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
In recent US Census data widely reported in the press "Hispanics" have become the largest minority group in the US. Using simulation modeling technology we look at some of the structural forces that shape the characteristics of the Hispanic population. The model creates a simulated Hispanic population whose level of acculturation to the broader population of which it is a part dynamically varies according to individual choice. The modeling technique used draws on both System Dynamic and Agent based paradigms both supported by innovative AnyLogic software. The representative Hispanic population is disaggregated down to the individual level as individual agents. Each agent makes choices stochastically as modulated by its current state and the outside environment that it is in.» Mehr lesen

Improving automotive lighting designs with high-performance LED drivers
1 Comment
The market size for high brightness (HB) LEDs is expected to reach $12 billion in 2012 and grow to $20.2 billion by 2015 with a 30.6% CAGR ramp (source: Strategies Unlimited). One of the key application areas driving this significant growth in LEDs is their use in automobile designs. Applications range from headlights, daytime running lights, brake lights and turn signals, to instrument cluster display backlighting, as well as all kinds of in-cabin vanity lighting.
Almost all new model cars offer LED daytime running lights (DRLs) due to customer demands for stylistic preferences and safety benefits. Hondas 2013 Accord uses LED DRLs in most models and offers LED headlights in both their touring and hybrid models (see Figure 1). In order to maintain this impressive growth rate, LEDs must not only offer enhanced reliability, reduced power consumption and more compact form factors, they must also enable innovative designs such as steerable headlights and antiglare dimming.
Furthermore, in an automotive environment, all of these improvements must be optimized while also withstanding the rigors of the relatively caustic automotive electrical and physical environment. It goes without saying that these solutions must offer very low profile, compact footprints while simultaneously enhancing overall cost-effectiveness.
Although LEDs have been used in daytime running lights, brake lights, turn signals and interior lighting for several years, headlamp specific applications are relatively new. Currently, only a handful of production vehicles are offered with LED headlamps, including the Honda Accord, Audi A8 and R8, Lexuss LS600h and RX450h, the Toyota Prius, Cadillacs Escalade and Porsche's Cayenne. Some industry estimates indicate that the current LED headlamp market is approximately $1B for 2012 and is expected to surpass $2B by 2014 and continue to grow exponentially.
One of the biggest challenges for automotive lighting systems designers is how to optimize all the benefits of the latest generation of HB LEDs. HB LEDs require an accurate and efficient DC current source with a means for dimming and must offer a variety of protection features. Additionally, these LED driver ICs must be designed to address these requirements under a wide variety of conditions.
As a result, power solutions must be highly efficient, robust in features and reliability while being very compact and cost effective. Arguably, the most demanding applications for driving HB LEDs are found in automotive forward lighting applications, in both DRLs and headlamps as they are subjected to the rigors of the automotive electrical environment, must deliver high power, typically between 15W to 75W, and must fit into very space constrained enclosures, all while maintaining an attractive cost structure.

What do you think would be some wierd mixes of dogs? For example: a collie with a Dalmation! Would they be long white haired with black spots?? Or a Beagle and a Cocker Spanial?? What is your say? Let us know!
Oooo....Ooooo....trying to stop myself......but can't! You only have to look at some of the pedigree breeds to see what terrible inflictions we are already imposing on dogs.... and according to every Kennel Club in the world, that is fine....
Sorry, I have ruined what is meant to be a bit of fun so please carry on, just that I can't help it ......
To try and make amends, how about a Saluki crossed with a Corgi, Basset Hound or Doxxie?
The strangest I have seen was a rottie/basset mix. So ugly he was cute!
I've heard people claim they've seen Dachsunds mixed with Great Danes
The strangest mix I've seen on Dog of the Day has been a Corgi/Chihuahua mix. Maybe I just took special notice of that one because I'm always on the lookout for Corgis.
Anyone else remember any odd mixes that were Dogs of the Day? I'd like to see pictures. (And Wendy, if you see this, I'd like to see pictures of your Beagle/Corgi mixes.)
We have had many mixed breeds on Dog of the Day, but the one that stands out in my mind as an unlikely combination was the Shih Tzu/ Golden Retriever mix, Maxwell - see http://DogoftheDay.com/archive/2000/March/09.html . Some people thought he was so cute, they wrote us asking where they could get one just like him! A lot of mixed breeds, of course, come from shelters and have that mysterious past, so we guess!
Maxwell is too cute!! That is one of the cutest dogs I've ever seen!
I saw a beagle/GSD mix, it was a beautiful brindle dog, and you would never guess what its mix was by looking. Have seen a Corgi/Golden retriever mix, also very adorable!
How about a pug mixed with a poodle or a pug/dachshund? Wonder what sort of face it'd have?
What about a bulldog with a collie? What a weird head that one would have.
I didn't remember Maxwell so immediately logged on and was taken aback by that adorable bundle of fur! Not enough adoring adjectives to describe that face. I would hope the dachsund of the dachsund/Great Dane mix would be the male....you get my drift. Would it be a Great Dachsund? A Dachsdane? A Danedachs? ..Oh well...
What about a GSD/Malamute/Pyrenees?
I once saw a picture of a Lab/German Shepard mix in some dog book I was reading. Poor thing looked like he was in costume, his body was that of a German Shepard sporting a black Lab head.
I saw a Picture of a saint Bernhard/Basset hound Mix it looked like a Saint Bernhard with short legs and a long body
I once saw a english bulldog mixed with a golden retriever. It looked like your basic GR but it was a bit more buff and was a little shorter. One thing that really popped out at me was it had an underbite. Its bottom teeth came up over the top jaw. I saw pics of the parents two very beautiful dogs. If I could mix anything I would mix the Dogue de Bordeaux (Turner and Hooch)/Beagle/Pit bull/Jack Russell Terrier/Greyhound. Wouldn't that be interesting!
A girl I work with has a cocker/pug. He has the body of a cocker and the face of a pug!! Another just got a dalmation/black lab(her husband calls it a labradation or the dalmador!) He looks just like a black lab excpet his little belly is whit with black spots!!!
I saw in the humane society listing they had a GSD/chihauhua mix. I didn't see what that looked like!!!
WHERE there is a will there is a WAY!!
[This message has been edited by shais_mom (edited November 12, 2000).]
A friend of mine has a black lab/dalmation and he is truly one of the most intelligent, biddable and all round great dogs I have ever met. He has a great trainer in my friend which is just as well as he wouldn't take inactivity, physical or mental, well at all!

New magnetic position sensors forcel in safety-critical automotive applications
Post a comment
UNTERPREMSTAETTEN, Austria -- ams AG on Tuesday (Nov. 13) introduced a new family of magnetic rotary position sensors with advanced safety features for automotive applications requiring ISO26262 compliance.
Highly integrated systems-on-chip, all magnetic rotary position sensors from ams incorporate Hall magnetic sensing elements, an analog front end and digital signal processing to produce accurate and precise angle measurements. The new 60 Series sensors the AS5161 and AS5261 (with a digital PWM output) and the AS5162 and AS5262 (with analog voltage output) now also feature automotive protection features that enable vehicle manufacturers to achieve ISO26262 compliance in safety-critical applications.
The rigorous ISO26262 standard for automotive functional safety requires vehicle manufacturers to achieve high levels of reliability, to analyze the effects of the failure modes of components and systems, and to take measures to guarantee functional safety in the event of a predictable failure.
The 60 Series sensors enable manufacturers to achieve ISO26262 compliance by offering very high reliability, comprehensive analysis of the effects of direct and indirect dangerous faults, and very low Failure In Time (FIT) rates. Dual stacked dice (single package) versions, which are fully redundant, the AS5261 and AS5262 sensors can be used in applications requiring the highest ASIL D safety grading.
ams has also enabled enhanced self-diagnostic capabilities in this new generation of automotive position sensors. For example, they can detect a failed input voltage, and the broken ground detection feature with pull-down resistor operates even at high temperatures, unlike in competitive products.
With this new generation of sensors, ams has also implemented a number of power-saving features, resulting in leading-edge efficiency. While the 60 Series devices typically draw a 10mA supply current, many competitive devices draw more than 15mA.

The kidneys are organs located on either side of the spine, at the small of the back. Kidneys filter the blood and help balance water, salt, and mineral levels in the blood. They also produce hormones that help regulate blood pressure and blood supply.
Waste from the kidneys is carried out of the body in urine. Urine flows through tubes (ureters) to the bladder, where it is stored until a person is ready to urinate. The waste and urine then leave the bladder to exit the body through a tube called the urethra.

Cancer chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Unlike radiation and surgery, which are localized treatments, chemotherapy is a systemic treatment, meaning the drugs travel throughout the whole body. This means chemotherapy can reach cancer cells that may have spread, or metastasized, to other areas.
For stomach cancer, chemotherapy is usually combined with other types of treatment, such as surgery and radiation therapy, in an attempt to:
- Increase survival time
- Prevent recurrence
- Provide symptom relief when cancer is in advanced stages
Chemotherapy is usually given after surgery. Research is being done to study the effects of chemotherapy given in an effort to shrink the tumor before surgery.
Chemotherapy Drugs Used for Stomach Cancer
There are several chemotherapeutic drugs that are currently being used to treat stomach cancer. These include F-FU, cisplatin, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, capecitabine, anthracyclines, and taxanes.
Chemotherapy agents may be given by IV or by mouth. Research is studying the effects of chemotherapy instilled directly into the abdomen, called intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
Effectiveness of Chemotherapy for Stomach Cancer
Chemotherapy, when given in combination with radiation after surgery, increases the survival time and increases the amount of time before recurrence. In a group of stomach cancer patients who received chemotherapy and radiation following surgery, the 3-year survival rate was 50%, versus 41% in those who received no additional treatment after surgery. Relapse (return of cancer) occurred in 43% of the chemoradiation group compared to 64% in the no treatment group.
Chemotherapy may be helpful for more advanced stomach cancer that has already spread to organs outside of the stomach. This treatment may improve survival time by months and the quality of life. Various combinations of chemotherapy may bring about a response in up to 50% of patients; a response is defined as shrinkage of the tumor volume by 50% or more.
Side Effects
Chemotherapy given to treat stomach cancer may cause the following side effects:
- Sunburn-like skin irritation
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Fatigue
- Nerve damage
- Low blood counts
- Hair loss
- Kidney damage

Design Reuse without Verification Reuse Is Useless
Post a comment
For years, design productivity has been assisted by increasing levels of reuse. Many system-on-chip (SoC) designs now contain 10s or even 100s of reused intellectual property (IP) blocks that can constitute in excess of 90% of the gates in a chip. In addition, the size of IP blocks has risen from small peripherals to entire subsystems.
What has happened to total productivity over this same period? Productivity is being constrained by verification, but verification has not seen its reuse needs met by models and tools available on the market. As a result, verification continues to take a greater percentage of total time and budget, constraining product innovation that would otherwise be possible.
While some verification IP (VIP) is available, there is not enough and it does not provide the levels of reuse necessary. As SoC design moves to platform IP, where is the corresponding platform VIP? Where are the fully defined verification environments for platform IP that can be extended to add additional functions without having to understand the parts of the platform that are not being modified? Why is verification reuse so far behind design reuse?
These issues are explored in this article along with a way in which full IP-to-SoC verification reuse can be enabled through the use of scenario models.
Over the past decade, designer productivity has been boosted by reuse. Systems are composed of intellectual property (IP) blocks, each having a well-defined function, and the implementation for these blocks can be used in multiple designs and shared between multiple companies.
This is the IP methodology used to fill a significant portion of the real estate in a chip. IP reuse has allowed companies to concentrate on key parts of their design parts that add value and make products competitive. Over time, the size of IP blocks has grown and has extended to what is often called platform-based design where a processor, interconnect and a significant number of peripherals, accelerators and other functions are pre-integrated and pre-verified.
When IP is acquired from a third party, it is expected that a verification environment will be shipped with it. This environment was used to verify the block or platform in isolation. It enables users of that IP to ensure that the block has been integrated into their environment correctly and to see the extent of the verification that was performed. The environment may also come with some verification components that can be reused for system-level integration and verification, such as coverage models. The standard Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) [1] enables the reuse of other verification components through sequences and virtual sequences.
While the numbers are different for every design house, verification consumes a significant amount of the total resources and, in many cases, more than half of the time, effort and cost. Therefore, verification productivity improvement should be as good as, if not better than, design productivity improvements; otherwise the total benefits will not be as significant as expected.
However, this is not the case. The situation was put in stark contrast at a keynote [2] given by Mike Muller of ARM at the 2012 Design Automation Conference (DAC). He said that while design productivity has roughly scaled with Moores Law, verification productivity has gone down by a factor of 3,000,000 as measured by the amount of time it takes to build and run tests. This is not a good state of affairs.
Finally, the objective of system-level verification is not to verify the implementation of IP blocks. It is to verify that the system is capable of supporting the high-level requirements and delivering the necessary functionality and performance. This requires a different type of verification compared to verification conducted at the block level. The best way to capture these requirements is by scenario models that define expected end-to-end behavior of a system.

WINTER: Jackson effort can't help Under-19's to victory20-Feb-2013
Sussex starlet Callum Jackson hit 62 for England Under-19's yesterday in their Youth ODI with South Africa, but he couldn't help them to victory, as they were beaten by six wickets under the D/L method.
Jackson, who also took two catches keeping wicket, put on 133 with Kishen Velani as England reached 205 for 8 from their 49 overs. Sussex counterpart Harry Finch could only make 7 whilst most of the rest of the line-up also failed to make double-figures at the Stellenbosch University Ground.
The hosts reached their revised target of 157 runs from 39 overs to take a 4-0 lead in the series ahead of the final ODI in Cape Town tomorrow.

CLUB SHOP: Book Signing on Saturday06-Dec-2012
Another fantastic Christmas present is available in the Club Shop at The PROBIZ County Ground, Hove this month with a new book bringing to life eleven of the most memorable matches in the County's long history.
In Match of my Life, Bruce Talbot recalls some of the best games in the history of the oldest of the first-class counties with those who took part. Mushtaq Ahmed, Chris Adams, Murray Goodwin, Jason Lewry and James Kirtley are among those who look back on their contributions to the great triumphs of the last decade, an era that has brought Sussex unprecedented success.
As well as the inside story of three County Championship victories, the book looks at some memorable Lord's finals – won and lost - and remembers matches from Sussex's sepia-tinted past including the game when George Cox took 17 wickets at the age of 52, Ranjitsinhji's two hundreds in the same day and Sussex's famous win in the first Lord's one-day final nearly 50 years ago.
By speaking to the key personnel and examining previously unseen archive material, Match of My Life is a unique and absorbing look at some of the great moments in the rich history of the oldest first-class County Club.
This is Bruce Talbot's third book about Sussex. He collaborated with Paul Weaver on The Longest Journey (2004) and Flight of the Martlets (2008) and has been reporting on the County's fortunes home and away for 25 years.
It is published by Sussex-based Pitch Publishing and is available in the Club Shop NOW, priced at £16.99. It is available for online order by clicking HERE
Bruce will be signing copies of his book in the Club Shop at The PROBIZ County Ground on Saturday 8th December between 9.30am and 10.30am, so why not pop in and grab those stocking-fillers?! As we have plenty of new stock in time for Christmas. We'll also be open on Saturday 15th and 22nd December (9.30am-12.30pm) in addition to our normal midweek hours.

Paronychia is inflammation or infection of the skin that surrounds a fingernail or toenail.
Treatment depends on whether the paronychia is acute or chronic.
Paronychia is caused by bacteria or fungi that enter damaged skin. Damaged skin can be from torn cuticles, cuts, or cracks.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of paronychia include:
- Diabetes
- Work that requires frequent exposure to chemical solvents or water, including food service, cleaning, dentistry, bartending, hairdressing, and nursing
- Habitual nail-biting
- Overly aggressive manicuring
Paronychia may cause:
- Redness and swelling of the skin around the nail
- Pus formation near the nail
- Pain and tenderness to the touch
- Discoloration or ridging of the nail
- Absence of the cuticle
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. In most cases, paronychia can be seen on examination. If you have an abscess, your doctor may take a sample of the pus to identify the specific cause of the infection.
Treatments are different for acute and chronic paronychia.
Acute Paronychia
A mild case of acute paronychia is usually caused by bacteria. Minor swelling or redness near the nail may be treated by soaking the affected nail in warm water. This treatment can be repeated 2-4 times daily, for 15 minutes at a time.
In most cases, this type of paronychia heals within 5-10 days. If your condition does not improve, or is severe, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotic medication. In cases where a build up of pus is suspected, your doctor may also cut the area with a scalpel to drain it. It is possible that your doctor will need to remove part of the nail.
Chronic Paronychia
Since some chronic cases might be caused by fungi, your doctor may give you an antifungal medication. It may be given in a liquid form that you apply directly to the infected area.
Chronic paronychia may also be caused by a mixed bacterial infection, which can be treated with antibiotics. You may need to take the medication for several weeks. Some dermatologists believe that chronic paronychia is often caused by inflammation rather than by either bacterial or fungal infections. For such non-infectious paronychia, the use of cortisone creams can be helpful.
Whatever treatment is prescribed, it is important to keep the skin clean and dry. It is also important to avoid getting irritating substances, such as strong cleaners or certain foods, on the area. Surgery may be recommended in some cases of chronic paronychia that do not respond to other treatments.
Symptoms may subside with treatment. However, permanent damage to the nail or surrounding tissue sometimes results.
To help reduce your chance of paronychia:
- Keep your hands and feet clean and dry.
- Wear rubber gloves if your hands are routinely exposed to water or chemicals.
- Avoid biting your nails.
- Avoid cutting, pulling, or tearing your cuticles.
- Avoid artificial nails, vigorous manicures, or treatments that remove the cuticles.
- If you have diabetes, maintain your blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible. Talk to your doctor about proper foot care.
- Practice proper hygiene. Do not share bathroom supplies.

I was talking to a friend of mine from Delaware the other day, and mentioned beanie wienies. "Beanie wienies?" she said. "What's that?"
I was shocked. I thought everyone grow up eating beanie wienies, the simple yet satisfying mix of pork and beans with sliced hot dogs.
Perhaps it's just a name thing as some people might know them as frank and beans, though I think beanie wienie is much more fun to say. And while there are canned versions made by Van De Camp sold under the name Beenie Weenie, it's not that hard to slice your own hot dogs into a pot of beans—such a cinch, in fact, that a kid could do it. I know I did and my mom also grew up making herself beanie wienies. But what about beanie wienies for grown-ups? Even though it's considered a kid food, they are still satisfying on a cold snowy day, no matter how sophisticated your palate.
The summer after I graduated from high school, my parents went on vacation without the kids, shipping my little brother to my grandparents and leaving me home alone with only one rule: no parties. So, naturally, my friends and I decided to defy my parents and throw a party. But as we considered ourselves burgeoning adults, instead of having a blow-out with kegs and crowds, my best friend Laura and I decided instead to host an elegant dinner party for 8. We made our boyfriends wear ties while we girls wore heels and our pearls. I trotted out my family's good china, silver flatware and table linens and played Vivaldi on the stereo. We thought we were tres sophisticated.
Laura and I served several hors d'oeuvres such as bacon-wrapped dates, spinach-stuffed mushrooms, a cheese plate and toast points with cheap caviar we bought at Randall's. (And it was these little bites that ended up getting me in trouble with my parents as my mom found toothpicks all over the house, not to mention mushroom and spinach on the ceiling since I'd turned on the blender without the lid. I was busted!) We served a salad and then it was time for the main course. When planning our menu, we couldn't decide on what to cook so we decided to be silly and serve our childhood favorite—beanie wienies.
Our guests thought it was hilarious and it was a fun way to say good-bye to childhood, dressed up in our Sunday best slurping beanie wienies from fine china. But what we hadn't done was make them from scratch or more flavorful by adding spices or condiments. And while I was thinking about this party, I realized it was probably the last time in my life I'd eaten beanie wienies. Twenty years is too long.
I set out to make my grown-up beanie wienies by making baked beans from scratch. Most of the time, I just doctor up a can of beans with ketchup, mustard, etc.—and it's good. But after seeing a Mark Bittman recipe for baked beans that used dried beans and didn't take all day, I started with that. I used pintos instead of navy beans, because for me they're meatier and have more surface area to sop up the sauce. And I decided to keep the recipe simple, like they would have been made by a cowboy long ago, since some allege that beanie wienies were originally chuck-wagon fare.
Using only salt pork, molasses, coffee, chile powder and mustard, after several hours in the oven these baked beans were rich, smoky, fiery, slightly bitter and slightly sweet—definitely not your canned pork and beans! Throw in some slices of good quality hot dogs and I now had beanie wienies complex enough that an adult would enjoy them, though just sweet and silly enough that a kid would love them, too. Beanie wienies—welcome back into my life!
Did you grow up eating beanie wienies? How did you make them?
Beanie Wienies for Grown-Ups (method adapted from Mark Bittman)
1 pound of pinto beans
1 onion, diced
4 cloves of garlic
1/4 pound of salt pork, diced
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup molasses
3 T chile powder (I used a mix of ancho and chipotle chile powders)
1 teaspoon pequin or cayenne
2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup of black coffee
Pinch of baking soda
8 good-quality hot dogs, sliced into ½ inch thick slices
1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
2. Soak the beans in a pot filled with 8 cups of water overnight, or do a quick soak by boiling the beans in 8 cups of water and then covering the pot with a lid for one hour.
3. Heat the canola oil in a large pot on medium, and sauté onions until translucent, about 10 minutes.
4. Add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes.
5. Stir in the molasses, chile powder, cayenne, mustard powder and brown sugar.
Add the soaked beans, and stir in coffee, baking soda and diced salt pork.
6. Add enough water to cover beans with two inches of water.
7. Cover the pot, and place in the oven. Leave alone for 2 hours.
8. After two hours, stir beans, add more water if needed, cover and then leave in the oven for 30 minutes to an hour, depending on beans tenderness.
9. Take pot out of the oven, and taste beans. Make taste adjustments with mustard powder, chile powder, and molasses if necessary. The beans should be tender at this point. If they're not, cook covered a while longer until they are.
10. Turn up heat to 400 degrees, uncover pot, and add hot dogs and cook for 30 more minutes or until sauce is thick.

Beanie wienies for grown-ups
I was talking to a friend of mine from Delaware the other day, and mentioned beanie wienies. "Beanie wienies?" she said. "What's that?"

I grew up in northeastern PA and we would have beanie weenies on occasion. It was one of the first things I learned to make, and one of the childhood favorites that doesn't disappoint in adulthood (spaghettios, anyone?) I haven't made these in a few years, but I think my hot dog and bean loving husband might be in for a treat this weekend!
- JustKelly said...
Mmmmm yes I remember beenie weenies! We did them just like you said while growing up. A nice can of suped up beans with sliced hot dogs. I had almost forgotten about this childhoon treat! I think I'll make some this weekend....I know my kids will love it :D
- Sandy said...
We are expecting snow this weekend and I think I'll just make a pot of these this weekend.
Thank you.
- Mom said...
Now I finally know all the details of that party!
You were so busted.
We kept finding toothpicks for years.
Hearing it now, I'm actually kind of proud that you would throw that kind of party of all kinds of parties when the house was yours.
- Alanna said...
I'd give high odds to this being the very first recipe copied onto a 3x5 in a fifth-grade hand. And the spelling still defies my brain, even after losing my high school team a state win on a TV "intelligence" (early bad reality) show by spelling it wrong. So I just call them hot dogs, that I can spell write. :-)
- Becky said...
I made more beanie weenies after I left home and was on my own. Still make them from time to time. I use the canned beans, saute the dog slices with onions, and then add all other ingredients and bake in the oven, with cheese on top! Yummy. I want to try your scratch recipe soon.
- Tommy said...
Wow, no mention of any cocktails being served ?
Were you able to find a good wine to serve with the beans ?
- Nicole said...
oh my god those sound so good!! Happy valentine's day, Lisa!
- Lydia (The Perfect Pantry) said...
Yep! We always called them franks and beans, and the beans were vegetarian (and the franks were good beef franks, from Nathan's). I haven't had them in years -- but these photos look so delicious that I'm definitely going to have to try a grown-up version of the pork-free kind.
- Jodie said...
Alas, I hated hot dogs as a child. So I refused to eat beanie weenies! Now that I know about good kosher hot dogs that taste better... maybe we'll try them.
- Lizard Eater said...
Must be something in the air! Last night I made a grown up version of hot dog/mac and cheese casserole.
- KMDuff said...
I haven't had beanie weenies in years! We had them like you said - a can of pork & beans with hot dogs added. This recipe looks really fun. It should satisfy my family b/c I'll be happy making it from scratch and they'll be happy eating hot dogs & pork & beans. Yum! Great post.
- Cara said...
my older brother and sister had a song that was all about beanie weanies. hahaha. love it!
- Sally Parrott Ashbrook said...
What fun! I have to try your recipe. I love the Applegate organic, grass-fed hotdogs you can find here: http://www.applegatefarms.com/great_organic_hotdog.shtml
They're the only hotdogs I will eat these days, actually.
- Tace said...
I think I have had beanie weenies before but not often and that's ok by me. Not a fan of hot dogs. When I was a kid parents often made Mac'n'cheese with hot dogs cut up in it.
Your grown up beanie weenies look delicious and hearty, perfect for a cold day I bet.
- Kevin said...
Hot dogs and beans reminds me of camping when I was a kid. I have not had them in a long time. These hot dogs and beans sound pretty good!
- Anonymous said...
never had them but know what they are! are you sure it was Randall's? Aren't you from the Dallas area? We had Tom Thumb and Houston had Randall's.
- Meeta said...
WOW! I do like the flavor of coffee here. Although I lived in Houston for a while I cannot ever remember having something like this. I now think I was missing out on a lot. BOOHOO!
- Dayna said...
This was one of my fav's growing up. So much so, when I went to college, my dad gave me a CASE of the Van De Camp beanie wienies!
Later in college (TAMU) and early married life, I would cut up sausage (Eckridge mostly) instead of hot dogs. That's my version of grown up BW!! And sausage goes great with MacNCheese too!!
- Brave Sir Robin said...
What a wonderful story!!
That is just perfect!! My folks hardly ever left town. I did the same thing pretty much, but it was my first time to roast a duck.
Wonderful, wonderful story.
BTW - Nathan's are the way to go, although Boar's Head are pretty darn tasty as well. Hebrew National in a pinch.
- Dee Davis said...
I have to say that I really love this blog. I'm not much of a blog reader. But I actually have this one emailed to me. And usually have a ridiculously silly smile on my face after reading it. Blame it on the Texan lost in Manhattan syndrome, I suppose, although you couldn't pry me from this city if you tried.
Beanie Weenies brought back memories I had totally forgotten about. My father traveled when we were kids so most of the week, it was usually just my mom and my brother and me. And Beanie Weenies were standard fare -- along with macaroni and pancakes (not served together of course). My mom didn't much like to cook. So when dad was gone, anything was fair game.
Anyway, we had the TV dinner kind. But as I kid I thought they were amazing.
Oh and... remember the mom and dad out of town week too. Only my party was the beer kind and my little brother was home. Not my best weekend. (There were beer can tabs in the picture frames -- I was busted too)
ANyway, thanks so much for this blog. A little bit of Texas in the city.
- Homesick Texan said...
Jennifer--I'd forgotten about Spaghettios! I might have to find some this weekend.
JustKelly--Your kids are in for a treat!
Sandy--They're perfect on a snowy day--so comforting and warm.
Mom--Yep, we thought we were too sophisticated for a regular blow-out. Sorry about the toothpicks.
Alanna--It's spelled so many different ways, I don't know which is correct. But you're write (ahem), hot dogs work just as well.
Becky--Cheese on top? Mmmmm...why didn't I think of that?
Tommy--A splash of Bourbon in the beans probably wouldn't hurt.
Nicole--Happy Valentine's Day to you, too!
Lydia--Nathan's makes a darn good frank--I actually prefer the ones you can make at home to the ones they serve out on Coney Island.
Jodie--The better the dog, the better the beanie wienies.
Lizard Eater--I love hot dog/mac & cheese casserole! That's another dish I haven't had in forever!
KMDuff--I can't think of anyone who wouldn't like hot dogs and beans.
Cara--Do you remember the lyrics?
Sally Parrott Ashbrook--That's what I used in this recipe! Great flavor and great snap.
Tace--If you don't like hot dogs, the beans are good on their own.
Kevin--It's a total camping dish--just heat them up in a dutch oven over the fire.
Anon--I was born in Dallas but grew up in Houston, so yep, it was Randall's.
Meeta--The coffee does add a nice depth to the flavor. And boo hoo indeed you never had these while you were in Houston. Though I reckon you can find all the ingredients in Germany to make it now for your family.
Dayna--A case! That's true love! And Eckridge sausage would be just as good in these beans, too (and as you say, probably even more grown up!)
Brave Sir Robin--You roasted a duck? Very sophisticated!
Dee Davis--Thank you! Your comment puts a big smile on my face. It's always a blast doing the blog and I'm pleased as punch it makes others happy as well. As for macaroni and pancakes--have you ever heard of macaroni pancakes? They sell them at Shopsin's in Essex Market and while I haven't tried them, they sound pretty good.
- Melissa said...
Your post brought back so many memories. I haven't made beanie weenies in ages. Now I'm craving them. We had them practically once a week when I was a kid. The other option was sauerkraut and hot dogs. I remember picking the pieces of the hot dogs out of the sauerkraut.
- Hugh said...
When I went camping as a kid my dad always used to make "Beaners 'n' Weans". He thought it was hilarious every time he said it. Us kids loved it.
- Kate / Kajal said...
Hello ... sorry but i had to tag to :P
more on my blog ... looking fwd to see what u have to say.
- Fizzle said...
So, growing up my mother used to make beanie wienies too! We used to add a little more than just your beans and hot dogs though, that surely isn't enough flavor!
Mom's Beanie Wienie Recipe (Shhh don't tell it's a family secret!)
1 Medium Size (15oz) Can of Pork & Beans
1 Package sliced hotdogs
1 Can of Whole Kernel Corn
1 Can of Campbell's Bean with Bacon Soup (Do not add water)
After turn your stove top to about medium and let simmer stirring on occasion to make sure and mix all those fine flavors together!
For an added treat, while that is cooking get a package of crescent rolls, slice a package of hot dogs in halves and make yourself some Wiener wraps!
Enjoy ballas!
- Bron said...
This might just be the ticket to cheer me up after our week of rain. Looks delicious!
- toni said...
Yep - we called them franks and beans. Canned beans, sliced franks, and as such, they never made it to my adult life. BUT - using pintos, adding spices and COFFEE??!!! Wow! Love that thought!
- Cynthia said...
I won't mind having some of that right now.
- terri (The Burning Kitchen) said...
These look awesome!!
- White On Rice Couple said...
Growing up, hot dogs were a staple in our household. We ate them with everything- noodles, rice, soup and spaghetti(to this very day, mom still puts hot dogs in her spaghetti sauce). We would also indulge in many cans of pork & beans on hot rice. But we would always ask ourselves, where's the pork??!! I'll have to make this for my brothers now that we're grown up (kinda) and especially because it's a reminder of what we ate so often as kids...but with lots of pork! Thank you!
- Anonymous said...
Holy Cow! I am a Texas girl through and through, living in NJ for about 8 years. I just stumbled onto your blog by searching (desperately) for a decent tortilla recipe. I am thrilled beyond all rational thought to find a Texas version of the recipe, not to mention, having browsed about your blog, all the fabulous other things that I can't wait to make! Thank you, thank you for writing this blog and finding what sounds like the perfect Texas tortilla recipe!
Kris B.
- ex-tex said...
wow! you are pretty much my hero! i grew up on beanie wienies, esp bc hotdogs were the only thing my dad could cook, and my mom went out of town on occasion! thanks for this recipe. i have a suggestion though - ive got a hankerin for some gazpacho. any ideas??
- Anonymous said...
Beanie Weenies Texana:
Swing by the market in Roundtop TX, pick up a pound of (raw) bratwurst, poach it in Shiner Boch and onions for a few minutes, then grill it over mesquite until done, slice into quarter-inch medallions, throw it into your bean concoction and then we'll talk
- Brave Sir Robin said...
btw -
I used your recipe for tortillas this weekend.
Yes!, they are exactly like the ones in my favorite local Mom & Pop Mexican place. (I live in South Texas)
(Well, except that their's are properly round and mine are kinda shaped like Texas. That rolling thing is harder than it looks!!)
Thanks, the recipe is great!
- Homesick Texan said...
Melissa--I used to pick the hot dogs out of my sauerkraut as a kid, too--it was just way too tart and sour. But I'm now a big fan.
Hugh--That sounds like such a dad thing to do!
Kate--Thanks for the tag! You're now the third person to tag me--I better get cracking!
Fizzle--Corn, eh? Very interesting! And don't worry, your secret is safe with me!
Bron--It definitely chases the rainy-day blues away!
Toni--Ever since I saw an old Texas cookbook published in the '30s where almost every recipe called for coffee--I've been a fan (and I'm still kicking myself for not buying the cookbook when I saw it at the used bookstore).
Cynthia--It's good stuff!
White on Rice Couple--You're welcome! I've never heard of hot dogs and noodles or hot dogs in spaghetti sauce--though I often put bacon in my spaghetti sauce so it's not too much of a stretch. And yes, those cans of pork and beans never had pork in them--just little white specks of fat. Always so disappointing!
Kris B.--Welcome! And I hope you enjoy the tortillas!
Ex-Tex--I adore gazpacho, but it's best when the tomatoes are in season. Watch this space this summer!
Lisa--Yep, canned beanie wienies are pretty disappointing--they're usually too sweet and the hot dogs have lost their snap. And I'm with you--I'm so ready for February to be over!
Anon--If I had access to Shiner Bock and bratwurst from Round Top I'd make these in a heartbeat!
Brave Sir Robin--Hurrah! I'm so pleased you enjoyed the tortillas. And don't worry, sometimes mine come out the shape of Texas, too.
- Mama T said...
Hi - can you help a metric Canuck and tell me how much a pound of pinto beans is in grams? And if I can't find salt pork (not sure where to look) can bacon do too?
- Tea said...
I love it than when you had the opportunity to throw a party you cooked a nice dinner rather than throwing a kegger!
We foodies get started early, eh?
- Mrs. Fox said...
Wow! I just discovered your blog. Great recipes and thanks for bringing back fond memories. My mom is from Texas and Tex-Mex has always been home cooking to me.
- ann said...
Oh man! That image of you and your friends dressed up in your Sunday best (with pearls! who had pearls in high school? that's fab!) is just awesome! Beanie Weanies were such a treat to me as a kid because they were verboeten. My mom considered them "junk" food, so I only ever got to sample this ambrosial contraband cuisine when I went to friends' houses. I like the idea of yours better, but I'd use kielbasa ;-)
- The Yummy Mummy Cooks Gourmet said...
I loooooove dishes that the kids will gobble up and are also pleasing to adult palates.
Thanks for this one...I'm throwing it on the menu!
- Julie said...
Beanie weanies is such a great name -- lots more fun than franks and beans. I know I say this all the time about your stuff, but once again... my husband would so love this. And it would have been a perfect meal for the icy weather we had today.
- Homesick Texan said...
Mama T-A pound is about 454 grams. Salt pork is usually next to the bacon at the grocery (or you can ask your butcher for some) but if you can't find it bacon works, too.
Tea--Yes we do!
Mrs. Fox--Welcome and I agree, nothing says home more than Tex-Mex!
Ann--I think having pearls is a Southern thing. Heck, there was a time in my life when I wore them every single day! (Of course, there was also a time in my life when I wore bows in my hair--but I prefer not to discuss that) And I have to agree that kielbasa is an excellent substitution.
Yummy Mummy--I hope you and your family enjoy!
Julie--Ha! Your husband clearly has excellent taste! And yep, it's perfect for icy days.
- Dee Light said...
I am loving your recipes. You cook the way we eat. I will be back for sure!!
- melissa lynn said...
thanks for posting!
i have been searching for a recipe for this! :)
- Bren@Flanboyant Eats said...
nice to meet you! Isn't Cynthia wonderful! I'm so glad to be her friend as well. And, I sure hope you were able to catch the Emeril Green show on Monday? If so, I'd love to know what you thought!
I'll be sure to visit now that I know where you are!
great wieners by the way! very nostaligic!
- SteamyKitchen said...
I loooove the name! heehee! it's what I called my son andrew when he was in my tummy - little 'beanie weenie!"
- ~Madeline~ said...
I made this the other night for my boyfriend who loves hotdogs. Me, not so much. However, I couldn't get enough of this, I even had seconds!
- James said...
I love your blog
Concerning this recipe...
I find the flavor a bit flat..almost like some moles I've tried. It's possible that for me the reason is that I drink a good house or espresso blend and that's what I use here; not Folgers or some other less boldly flavored coffee. Also my wife likes things a little less "hot"...so here are the alterations I made that make it come out a little different.
It needs some acidity, so I've been adding apple cider vinegar to balance the flavor more. You could use any type of vinegar but I thought apple cider vinegar would go well with the sweetness already there. You have to add this to taste but I've found 3 or 4 tablespoons usually does the trick. I also add some jalapeno juice which also adds flavor and acidity.
To cut down on the heat for my wife, I cut the red pepper in half (or not at all)
It needs salt.
To make it a little more "grown up" I also use sausage instead of franks. I cut it into 1/2 slices and then quarter them.
As with all cooking, it's all a matter of taste. I'm attending culinary school and I like to play with my food until it tastes like I like it. So I just thought I'd throw in a few ideas for others to play with.
Keep up the great work!
- James said...
I forgot to add that you can use smoked paprika instead of chipotle chile powder to give it that smoke flavor without the heat.
Goes great with cornbread too!
- katie said...
So good Lisa, thank you! My husband said it reminded him of growing up-which I can rarely do. I used some Belleville smoked sausage, it was a great cheap meal with your cornbread recipe. I am going to post some pictures and the cost breakdown to my blog for Blogging the Recession. Thanks again!
- Anonymous said...
Growing up in Texas, my Mother never served hot dogs, so eventho I had heard of beanie weenie (sp) I had never had it. I did try this recipe and am still licking my lips. The flavors are so smoky sweet, oh my gawd! I swear I died and went to Texas!
- Jamie said...
We followed this recipe pretty close but we did it in a crock pot...actually very good. We also went without the salt pork and used TWO pounds (two packages) of hot dogs. VERY good.
- HomegrownTexan said...
I grew up in the Austin area. We never had baked beans, and the few times I had them elsewhere they tasted too sweet to me. I'm weird about mixing my sweet and savory though (i.e., I don't like to do it). My mom made "beans 'n' weenies" with the same kind of beans we had at BBQs: Ranch Style beans (back before there were a million different varieties, and they still said "husband pleasin'" on the can).
I just had some today, only I didn't have Ranch Style, so I made mine with Hormel chili (with beans) instead.
- cindy* said...
i love beanie weinies! these look exceptionally delicious!
- Anonymous said...
Great recipe, I always called this recipe Hobo Stew...made it seem more exciting somehow, lol. Love your website! Grew up in Texas but live in upstate NY now (34 yrs).
- paintgurl40 said...
I grew up in Chicago, but my parents were from Georgia. She used to make beanie weenies but she used sausage instead of hot dogs sometimes. I haven't eaten this in years so I can't wait to try this recipe...with sausage and bacon!
Love your blog btw, I made the chicken fried steak with gravy a few months ago and LOVED it!
- Anonymous said...
I live in New Zealand, so there is no chance of obtaining salt pork . Would a ham hock or bacon hock work here instead?
It's the worst thing about gawking at delicious food blogs from the USA such as yours... We don't have things readily available such as guajillo, arbol, pequin, ancho, or habanero chiles (we spell it chillis), salt pork, Rotel or pepperjack cheese.
Anyway, I shall continue finding the necessary substitutions. Thanks for a great blog!
- Lisa (Homesick Texan) said...
Jo--A ham hock or a bacon hock would be a fine substitution.
- Anonymous said...
Grew up on Beanie Weenies and still make them now in our 60s. If we have hotdog buns, I don't cut the wieners up, I just bury them whole in the beans and bake them. No buns, then I slice them up. I also add cooked sliced or diced potatoes and definitely onions to the mix. The kids loved this well enough that they tolerated me getting in the veggie serving! Jenny, Minnesota

Memorial Union rededication will thank donors, students who made project possibleOctober 10, 2012
Alumni returning for Emporia State University's Homecoming festivities on Saturday may find it hard to believe the Memorial Union is the same building in which they ate meals and purchased their books during their on-campus days.
The building, which just completed a two-year, $23 million renovation, will be rededicated at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 13. The ceremony will be in the east concourse, in front of Hornet Express and next to the Kaffee Klatch sponsored by the Emporia State University Alumni Association.
Ground was broken for the project in April 2010 after Emporia State students voted overwhelmingly to fund $14.5 million of the cost through an increase in student fees. The project was completed in three phases with the finishing touches completed in early Fall 2012.
The Memorial Union's original building opened Feb. 15, 1925, and three additions were added in 1958, 1963 and 1972. It was last remodeled in 1989. The current project, which was designed by Treanor Architects, P.A., of Lawrence, Kan., kept the original footprint of the building everywhere except the east side, to which a 5,500-square-feet addition was added for a two-story glass entrance. Along with the footprint, locations of food-service preparation and mechanical areas were unchanged.
But many other details completely changed the look of the building. Hallways on the second floor were reconfigured to the outside of the building where new, larger exterior windows were added. Adding interior windows allows people using the majority of the meeting rooms to enjoy natural light and views to the outside.
Besides physical changes, the renovation allowed the use of the building to change. Three departments on campus moved into the Union — the offices of Admissions, Career Services and International Education, giving students easier access to those services.
"If Plumb Hall and Kellogg Circle are Emporia State's front door," said Dave Hendricks, director of the Memorial Union, "then the east side of the Union is our new side entrance. And we all know that, in Kansas, it's tradition for friends and family to enter through the side doors."
Hendricks has had a front-row seat to changes at the Union for nearly three decades. An Emporia State alum, Hendricks worked in the Union as a student before earning his degree in 1990. He continued to work in the Union as operations supervisor and the associate director for operations before becoming director in 2007.
Joining Hendricks for the rededication ceremony will be Dr. Michael D. Shonrock, president of Emporia State University; Randy Steinert of Wichita, co-chair of the renovation fundraising campaign; and Brooke Schmidt of Eureka, student president of Emporia State.

SECOND ELEVEN: Impressive day for Sussex at Blackstone11-Apr-2012
Sussex's Second Eleven will resume on 158 for 1 this morning at the Sutton Winson Academy Ground at Blackstone in their three-day friendly against Surrey.
With day one of the match on Monday being completely washed out, the sides agreed on playing an arranged 100 overs practice time for each remaining day, with Surrey batting 60 overs and Sussex batting the remaining 40 overs yesterday, whilst the roles are to be reversed later today.
The visitors won the toss and after electing to bat, made 201 for 7 from their 60 overs. Matthew Spriegel, the Surrey captain, top-scored with an unbeaten 51 whilst Jason Roy also made 41, but it was an innings dominated by the Sussex attack and Will Beer was the pick of the bowlers, claiming 3 for 33. Academy prospect Tim Moses picked up the wickets of Rory Burns and Tom Jewell whilst there was a wicket apiece for Will Adkin and skipper Kirk Wernars.
In reply, Sussex began to dominate in the first ever second eleven match played at the Sutton Winson Academy Ground. Opening pair Harry Finch and Will Adkin put on 149 for the first wicket before the latter fell for 64. Andrew Hodd will join an unbeaten Finch (68) at the crease this morning when Sussex resume on 158 for 1 to bat for another 60 overs.
Entrance is of course FREE for the final day at Blackstone. The address for the ground is:
Sutton Winson Academy Ground
