I had planned to have a wind up for my spring birdwatching group. The plan was hot dogs, squares and coffee. It wasn't to be. The windstorm we had closed the location I had chosen. Even plan B was not available because the area was closed.
So I got thinking about hot dogs and school. When I was little in the one room country school we would have a wiener roast on the last afternoon of school. We were wound up as it was because it was the end of the year so hot dogs really hyped us up.
These events were carefully planned. The teacher had some money from the trustees for this event. Plans were made well ahead of time. We were all asked how many hot dogs we wanted. I think three was the limit. Wieners were sold in bulk so the exact number could be purchased. We were also given a choice of the kind of pop we wanted. Oh ya, there were usually marsh mellows. On the appointed day, off we went (running) to a convenient bluff where we could get wood. Yes, these hot dogs were done over a campfire. None of these store bought forks for roasting. We looked around in the bush to find a suitable stick to use for roasting. We all had knives to cut the stick and sharpen an end to attach the hot dog. Much comparison of sticks took place before the fire was ready for roasting. some of the sticks were broken before they could be used. You get the drift. It was wild. How any of us came out of it with two eyes is a wonder.
Well it was a very exciting afternoon with kids full of food that spun them right out of control. Some wieners dropped off the young cook's sticks. Somebody always got bumped and lost a wiener. We usually fished the lost wiener out of the fire. Some kids like a lot of burn on the wiener. Each had their own preference.
So while I was preparing a hot dog barbecue for my quiet birders, I thought back to the excitement we had as kids in school.

It sounds to me like a great time was had by all (or by most). :-)ReplyDelete
What a wonderful end to the school year. Hot dogs on sticks over an open fire! Wow! Sorry you couldn't end your bird watching the way you planned.ReplyDelete
Fun memories! Hot dogs always taste best roasted over a camp fire.ReplyDelete
That does sound like a whole lot of fun. Pity the kids can't experience that these days.ReplyDelete
We did that too on the last day of school was a picnic with hot dogs and pot luck, no soda for us only kool aid. I hope you had a good time with the birders too bad about your park being closed :(ReplyDelete
A great time Red!!and hotdogs are always good to eat:))))ReplyDelete
Nice memories to think over.ReplyDelete
It sounds like a lot of fun!ReplyDelete
Over here in England we never put sharp sticks through our wieners and we never burnt them either.ReplyDelete
Always a good choice when you have a lot of people. There is a good socializing time while cooking your own also.ReplyDelete
We are having a gathering in our Apt today. It is a mixture of Canada Day and theReplyDelete
compliments of Residents from the Kitchen association. We have two choices of Hamburgers and Hot dogs. And salads and desserts. I was an avid Hotdog fan 100% before but now I am addicted to
juicy well cooked Hamburgers off the B.Q. My neighbor is the cook here for years. We are expecting a bad storm. So I will have to tell Ray careful with that lightening rod turning over the hamburgers. Yesterday coming from a walk of 30 minutes with one of the Residents to our beautiful park. Down came the rain, thunder and lightening . If we had been five seconds later. It would of been disaster. Soaked to the skin. That is how fast the storms hit. So praying that time we eat at 5.30 the storm will have passed over our area and be dry for Ray and assistant to have done the cooking for over 34 people or more. And they have remained dry both of them. So since my operation I am out and social mixing and my knee feels like I am 19. No more limping. So will have a rest in-between for next knee to be done. I want to enjoy summer. So good for you Red with your group with the hot dog delight and dessert choices with it. Lots of laughs as well.
Hot dogs are definitely kid-pleasers! In Florida the state used to plant oleander along the highways, especially near the water because it was pretty and salt tolerant. But they had to stop because people would pull over for a cookout and pick oleander branches to get sticks for cooking hot dogs -- and oleander is poisonous!ReplyDelete
Hot dogs remind me of the church picnics we had at the end of June each year. They were held in the nearby park, and it's there that I learned exactly what to put on a hot dog and in what order ... mustard, then green relish, then ketchup. It's how I still eat them :)ReplyDelete
I loved your descriptions here--I can see the mayhem clearly! I hope the teachers you had didn't have a nervous breakdown afterward!!
What a great memory Red. My wife and I were just saying that today schools would not allow something like that, too many issues. Kind of sad if you ask me. I enjoyed your story, it's priceless!ReplyDelete
Have a wonderful week!
It's probably because hot dogs are so easy to serve and eat. I prefer them raw, right out of the package but my wife calls that disgusting.ReplyDelete
We never did anything like that in school, but growing up we had lots of hot dog roasts on weekends at home. Daddy would build a fire and cut roasting sticks...it was fun! I enjoyed your story. Wow! That was some wind storm, in your last post. I would have been so afraid!ReplyDelete
Those were definitely happy memories, indeed. We wouldn't be able to do that at our school. Knives would never be allowed in a school. I guess no one got hurt, hunh?ReplyDelete
Hot dogs are a favorite summer time meal here and especially the ones you get at the ball field.ReplyDelete
We had a campfire out at the back of the property where I grew up. Didn't roast hot dogs, but marshmallows from time to time.ReplyDelete
I don't have hot dogs too often, but on occasion when I want one, I'll have it with a good deal of relish.
I've never liked hotdogs but they sure are popular with kids. So are picnics on the last day of school. Great memory, Red.ReplyDelete

The city of New York is not what it was, will be, has been, might be, I'm confused. As in Enzo G. Castellari's vision of 1990 New York is all too different from what it was then or now. As with most depictions of the future from the 70's and 80's, New York was only ever going to be one thing, a cesspool of crime and violence, ravaged by gangs and powerful corporations. With such films as John Carpenter's, Escape from New York (1981) and Walter Hill's The Warriors (1979) both showing what New York could be like at its worst.
So here in Enzo G. Castellari's, The Bronx Warriors, these two classics are combined, copied and pillaged, some might say into an in Italian bolognaise of street fighting and biker heaven, with big hair and bad attitudes.
Into this wasteland of the Bronx comes Ann (Stefania Girolami Goodwin – Sinbad of the Seven Seas and Dawson's Creek as first assistant director), a 17-year-old heiress to one of the world's biggest arms manufacturing corporation who, unable to contain her guilt over having to inherit the business, has run away. She soon finds herself under the protection of the Riders' leader, Trash (Mark Gregory – Thunder and Delta Force Commando), who rescues her from The Zombies, a gang of roller hockey thugs with a taste in big white shoulder pads.
Trash is a man with poodle rock hair of the highest order and the tightest jeans in the Bronx, all you need it seems to be the leader of the toughest gang in the Bronx, and by the way he struts his stuff looks like an extra from Fame.
However, The Raiders are not the top dogs in the Bronx, this it seems is to be honor of The Tigers. A gang of fly hot-rodders lead by the self proclaimed king of the Bronx, The Ogre (Fred Williamson – From Dusk Till Dawn, The Inglorious Bastards(1978) and The Godfather of Harlem ).
The Raiders, summoned by The Orge meet by the river to discover the body of a dead Raiders member, killed by The Tigers for trespass on their turf. The Orge informs Trash that this was done to show him that this member was wearing a 'gizmo', no not a white furry animal but a tracker supplied by the police. Though the odd thing is, all the way through this exchange of tittle tattle is a lone drummer performing an outstanding drum solo for all the gang members for no reason at all.
It seems that Ann's farther has hired a crazed ex-cop by the name of Hammer (Vic Morrow – The Bad News Bears and Twilight Zone: The Movie) who has ideas of his own and wants to take over the Bronx himself.
So with Hammer stirring up trouble between the gangs, trying to get them to destroy each other, Trash must also be weary of his own gang members. As Ice (Joshua Sinclair – Keoma and Lady Frankenstein – he also is a professor in Comparative Theology and has worked with Mother Teresa as a medical doctor specializing in tropical diseases, who needs acting?) has ideas on Trash's role as leader of The Raiders, all planned by Hammer.
So with things boiling up in the Bronx, Trash must seek help from his enemy The Orge to stop Hammer and the evil corporation and to save Ann from them, but in a place were death is cheap and the first to die are the lucky ones, who will be left standing at the end?
For your first step into Enzo G. Castellari's Bronx Warrior Trilogy, you really can't go wrong with The Bronx Warriors with cheesy acting, cheesy fight scenes and more cheesy cheese, this is a fun if not overwhelming movie, that can hold up to a repeat view with ease. Well shot by Castellari, making the best of what he has to use and a nice turn from both Vic Morrow and Fred Williamson, the film can just about hold its head up alongside others of its type and a worthy addition to the Shameless catalog.
The Cast
Vic Morrow … Hammer
Christopher Connelly … Hot Dog
Fred Williamson … The Ogre
Mark Gregory … Trash
Stefania Girolami Goodwin … Ann (as Stefania Girolami)
Joshua Sinclair … Ice (as John Loffredo)
Directed By … Enzo G. Castellari
During the meeting scene between the Riders and Tigers overlooking the World Trade Center, the drummer seen playing was not originally scripted. The band was present in the area during the day of shooting, so director Enzo G. Castellari included them in the scene, giving no explanation as to why they were there.
The scene where Ice wipes out his motorcycle was indeed an unplanned accident.

Activated charcoal, an adsorbent used mainly in water filtration devices and in medicine for intestinal disorders, can be a very effective component of cosmetics for facial skin care. We'll figure out what is useful for coal for the skin and what are the useful recipes for masks based on it.
Impact of charcoal on the skin
Activated charcoal solves the whole complex of dermatological problems of the face:
- Reduces the fat content of the skin;
- Smoothers;
- Promotes the rapid cure of small foci of inflammation;
- Deeply cleans the pores of contaminants and excess sebum, contributing to the disappearance of black dots.
Indications and contraindications
A face mask with activated charcoal is recommended if you have at least one of the following skin problems:
- Dullness and weakness of the face associated with stress, lack of sleep or physical exhaustion;
- Presence of a large number of blackheads and blackheads;
- Expanded pores;
- Oily or combination skin type;
- Uneven pigmentation.
It is undesirable to use activated charcoal in the composition of facial products in the following cases:
- Presence of unhealed wounds or cuts;
- Recently removed acne;
- Vascular reticulum on the skin);
- Individual intolerance of the coal itself or components in the mask.

Recommendations for use
- The fresher the coal in the masks will be, the better, it will have better adsorption and will be easier to break into powder.
- The face mask with charcoal is aged for 10-15 minutes. If you have severe unpleasant symptoms (itching, burning, visible and significant redness), you should wash it off earlier and use a soothing tonic (or its simple equivalent, a decoction of chamomile). If these symptoms do not go away, you should take an anti-allergic drug and consult a doctor.
- Before applying the mask, the skin must be cleaned of make-up and dust accumulated during the day by washing with a special remedy.
- Allergy sufferers and owners of sensitive and prone to irritations of the skin should test the mixture on charcoal in standard for this place – on the skin behind the ear or on the inside of the elbow bend.
- If masks from coal are made regularly, then after a course of 1-2 months it is worth to make about the same length of the break.
- For better purification of the pores, they must be opened, therefore it is desirable to apply the mask to the pre-heated skin of the face. You can just wash with hot water, but it's more efficient to hold your face over the steam of the herb broth or apply a cotton terry towel soaked in it for 3-5 minutes. Water or broth should be hot, but not burning.
- That the coal particles do not scratch the face, it should be crushed very well.
- After washing off the mask, it is recommended to use a moisturizing cream. If the sun is shining brightly in the street, a strong wind is blowing or it is very cold, then it is worth refraining from leaving the house for about an hour.
With all the undoubted merits, a mask of coal without adding other components is a bad idea. First, it is simply inconvenient to apply a fine powder to the face. Secondly, coal does not distinguish, useful or harmful substance it removes from the skin, and purification alone without concomitant moistening, softening and nourishment will lead to nothing good, there is a risk of dry skin, its peeling and irritation. This is bad in itself, and worsen the existing dermatological problems of the person instead of helping with their solution.
For the removal of the mask and additional cleaning and exfoliating action, a porous soft sponge will be useful, which after each use should be washed from particles of coal.

BOURBONNAIS — The Bears are already a full week into training camp and the important evaluations have begun with padded practices well underway. Here are some early storylines as the Bears' try to improve on their 3-13 record from last season:
1. Charles Leno Jr. is in a contract year and he's very motivated. The 6-3, 306 pound left tackle has been a pleasant surprise as a former seventh-round draft pick, but the Bears decided to not to extend Leno in the offseason, even though he's going into the final year of his rookie contract.
"Oh yeah, absolutely," Leno when asked if that has him motivated. "Last year of the contract. Came out here excited. Of course I want to be here in Chicago, but now I'm just excited. I just want to make sure I put the tape out there so I let everyone know I'm here to stay. I'm here to be the Chicago Bears' left tackle for a long time."
Bears general manager Ryan Pace would love to see Leno earn that next contract, but remember, Leno was a Phil Emery pick and the new regime still wants to see more Leno. He's been good, but not quite consistent enough.
Leno believes he's improving with experience though, learning the details of playing left tackle in the NFL.
"Study the hell out of your opponent. That's what I learned. You got so many guys, especially in our division. You've got Clay Matthews, Everson Griffin. You got to study your opponent. We play those guys twice (a year). They know me inside-and-out. I've got to know them inside-and-out," Leno said.
The left tackle knows what is waiting for him if he puts together a good 2017 season: a big paycheck. On the flip side, a poor season might leave him searching for a new job.
2. Fourth round draft pick Eddie Jackson could have an immediate impact in a couple different ways. For one, the rookie safety has shown a natural ability to track the ball in the air, a trait the Bears have lacked at the position for years. He made a very nice downfield read on Mitch Trubisky last week and undercut receiver Rueben Randle's route for the interception. Wednesday, in a Hail Mary situation, Jackson showcased his range, intercepting Mark Sanchez's heave to the end zone. After not participating much in OTAs because of the leg injury he suffered last year at Alabama, Jackson is off to a nice start in his first NFL training camp.
"He's a very sharp guy, very aware player, especially for a young guy," head coach John Fox said. "Kids that come out of Alabama get a good taste of a pro defense, in particularly from a coverage standpoint, (with) Nick (Saban) having been a secondary coach in the NFL for a long time."
Fox also mentioned Jackson's experience as a return man, saying, "Typically those guys—going as far back as a guy like Rod Woodson—they have good ball skills and he seems to do that pretty naturally."
With the free safety competition wide open, it would not be surprising to see Jackson end up winning the job. So can a rookie with a rod in his leg start at safety and still contribute in the return game?
"It just depends. Every case is different," Fox said. "I think his football maturity level is pretty high, as I mentioned before, so I think he'll adapt pretty quickly."
Count Jackson among a large number of young Bears players who will be interesting to watch in the preseason.
3. The Bears told us that Mitch Trubisky would occasionally get work with the second-team in training camp and that's exactly what happened Wednesday.
"Don't read much into it," Fox said. "It's just a matter of getting guys through different centers, different groups. It's something that we mentioned would happen at some point throughout the camp."
Trubisky still has a lot to prove before the Bears would permanently make him Glennon's backup and such a move would not occur until after the rookie received real playing time in a preseason game.
4. Tarik Cohen's "evadability" (as Fox put it) has already earned him an obvious role in the Bears' offense. Even though the Bears aren't tackling in practice, it's clear that arm tackles aren't going to be enough to take the rookie running back down.
"I try and turn and contort my body in different ways so you know that arm tackle might not get in there. T person might not be able to grab my jersey so I can allude the tackler," Cohen said.
Of course, at 5-6 and just 181 pounds, the key for Cohen will be avoiding big hits.
"Like a lot of shifty guys, they don't give you easy hits on them so hopefully he does a good job of avoiding those," Fox said. "He's a matchup problem. He's tough for linebackers, even for safeties at times as far as covering, because he's explosive and real quick. And he has excellent hands."
Without live contact in practices, it's hard to truly gauge Cohen's elusiveness, so he's another rookie who will be intriguing to watch during the preseason. The Bears like Cohen's potential in the passing game, so don't be surprised if he is frequently lined up as a receiver.
"Some third-down backs are like receivers, where you shift them out and do things," Fox said. "There's been some guys like that who're threats in different ways, and that helps an offense especially on third downs."
5. Nick Kwiatkoski is in an interesting situation, getting work as a starter while Danny Trevathan continues to recover from his knee injury. The Bears like Kwiatkoski, but they also signed Trevathan for a reason and the Bears' defense was probably at its best last season when Trevathan and Freeman were both on the field together.
One would think Trevathan will keep his job as soon as he gets healthy, but the Bears saw some positive signs from Kwiatkoski late in his rookie season and, at a minimum, they hope he provides quality depth at the position.
"I still have a long way to go but I mean just from where I started to where I am now it's been a huge difference," Kwiatkoski said. "Just watching myself on film, I can see myself reacting faster, seeing things faster. That experience at the end of last year definitely helped a lot."
Inside linebackers coach Glenn Pires likes the instincts Kwiatkoski has at the position, but said the key for the second-year linebacker is to speed everything up.
"Making faster decisions and being more physical when you make those decisions," Pires said. "He was making decisions, they weren't as quick, and he'll be the first guy to tell you. But now we got to be more physical in doing it faster."
Pires compared the linebacker position to a computer, which has all of the pre-snap information stored so that when a decision has to be made, it's computed in an instant. In other words, Kwiatkoski needs to get more experience reading plays before the snap, so that he can put his instincts to work faster once the play begins.
"The pre-snap preparation is huge for that young guy taking that step," Pires said.
6. Willie Young is growing more and more comfortable with his role in Vic Fangio's defense. He's now in his third season working as an outside linebacker and even though the transition has gone well, it wasn't easy. Remember, the Bears made the switch to a 3-4 defense the same offseason that Young was recovering from a torn Achilles tendon, and he still was able to play in 15 games and record 6.5 sacks and an interception in 2015. That earned him a two-year contract extension from GM Ryan Pace, a sign that both sides believed he could thrive in a foreign defense.
"I'm a true defensive end by nature. All my life I've played defensive end," Young said. "What helps right now at this moment is that I've been the guy that I've always had to figure out how to get in where I can fit in."
Before 2015, Young had only played exclusively in 4-3 defenses and, at every stop, had to prove himself as an overlooked player. That drive, plus some help from Fangio, has helped the former seventh round pick transform into a successful outside linebacker — and a smarter player.
"Coming from a 4-3, you don't have to worry about nothing but watching the ball and getting off. Now, there's a lot of pre-snap stuff, formation shifts, everything changes. One guy moving can dictate the entire defense sometimes," Young said. "Having a better understanding comes from me having Vic more hands-on … I think it gives me a better idea for understanding defenses, understanding how much time I have to rush the quarterback or why is it so important for guys to be where they're supposed to be at? It's really helped me as a pro all around, understanding the defenses better."
7. Deiondre Hall hopes his college safety experience helps him at his new position. It's been a quiet start to training camp for Hall, who was moved to safety after the Bears signed Marcus Cooper and Prince Amukamara at cornerback. Hall showed some positive flashes at cornerback last preseason, but a severely sprained ankle limited his playing time as a rookie. That injury required surgery in January, and now Hall hopes to make a splash at free safety, which is a wide open competition.
"Another reason for the (position) switch is because I've played it already," Hall said. "I played it in college and have had some success there so the transition wouldn't be too huge of a feat to do. Then it just comes down to opportunity and execution."
So far the opportunities have been limited, but Hall made his most impressive mark in the preseason games last year, not in practices. He likes being able to see the entire field from the safety position and his extremely long arms can be an asset when making plays on the ball.
Plus, Hall's versatility is one of the reasons why the Bears want to keep him around. If injuries strike at the cornerback position, he can always switch back to the outside.
As for his preference: "The field, period," he said.
8. Victor Cruz seems to have full confidence in new wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni. The Kevin White "dispute" put a spotlight on Azzanni's coaching tactics, which come from his 18-year college coaching career. He believes they can work in the NFL, and Azzanni appears to have support from the most prominent veteran in his position room.
"Obviously he likes to call his practice a little college-y — I don't know if that's a word or not. But I think it's great," Cruz said. "I think it's kind of refreshing for me to have a guy that is from a college program and has that type of work ethic from a guy from a college program. He wants the ball tucked away. He wants us to burst through the line after we catch a 5- or 10-yard route. He wants that attention-to-detail. And it's good for us. We have a relatively young room and that kind of attention to detail is only going to make us better. I think Coach Z is a tremendous coach and he's helping us anyway he can."
Azzanni's impact in the wide receiver room will be monitored closely this season, but any concern about him losing credibility with his players is probably overblown at this point.
9. Rain and lightning messed with the Bears' practice schedule Thursday. It seems like the Bears are adjusting their Bourbonnais schedule daily, but Thursday's change was out of their hands. While the radar looked clear in the morning, a big thunderstorm cell popped up near Bourbonnais in the hour before practice and arrived at Olivet Nazarene University while the team was stretching. With lightning the primary concern, the Bears wanted to make sure the fans in attendance were safe, so they cancelled the public practice and instead held a private walk-through indoors. Head coach John Fox said they will make-up the padded practice on Friday, however the team announced that it will still be closed to the public.
10. Referee Walt Anderson is in town with his crew to observe a few practices and help educate the players on rule changes. This is an annual visit made by NFL officials, but the referee changes each year. Anderson will help officiate Friday's practice at ONU and Saturday's scrimmage at Soldier Field.

Or Obamaphony…..
And yes folks, Obama is a Marxist.
The man was indeed a very talented phony. He could convince almost anybody of almost anything — provided that they were not already knowledgeable about the subject.
He had once spoken to me very authoritatively about Marxian economics, apparently unaware that I was one of the few people who had read all three volumes of Marx's "Capital," and had published articles on Marxian economics in scholarly journals.
What our glib talker was saying might have seemed impressive to someone who had never read "Capital," as most people have not. But it was complete nonsense to me.
Incidentally, he did not get the grant he applied for.

Where You Live – costs will differ from one area of Circleville to another, so where you live will have a direct impact on your final cost.
Landfill Fees – once your filled container is hauled away, the rental service provider will need to drop the contents at the local landfill. Depending on the fees at the landfill, your costs can be substantially different compared to other areas.
Size as well as Weight – the bigger or heavier your roll-off container, the more you will pay in rental costs.
Kind of Waste Material – costs will vary based on the type of rubbish you intend to put in your roll off dumpster. Certain construction materials are heavy, while household waste is generally a good deal lighter. Also, the ability to recycle some contents can decrease rental costs.
Transport Costs – your rental fee will also be influenced by how far you're located from a landfill or recycling center. Gas prices to haul the roll off dumpster can vary quite a bit especially if you're in a remote place.
Duration of Rental Period – your costs will always be partly based on the length of time you will need the canister. Rental times that go beyond the standard rental duration are generally billed an add-on fee.

Viking Coffee Makers
A few years ago, Viking coffee makers were a popular choice for anyone wanting a professional looking and performing machine for home use. However these days the company has moved away from making smaller kitchen appliances, instead choosing to put their focus on larger home appliances. With their line of coffee makers now discontinued, is it still worth buying one if you come across some older stock for sale? In this article we are going to take a look at one of their most popular coffee makers, and you can skip onto that section over here. First though we are going to be talking about Viking as a brand, so read on to find out more.
Is Viking a trustworthy brand?
Viking is a relatively new company, which was started by a man called Fred Carl in 1980. He had moved into a new home, and was looking for a range of upmarket appliances to furnish his kitchen with. Having found none that really fitted what he wanted, he decided to start making his own. Working with a local company, he spent 7 years refining the products which were eventually released under the Viking brand in 1987. And this is how the Viking Range brand was born. Over the years their reputation began to rise, as they catered for a rather niche gap in the market. Fast forward a few years, and their products were in hot demand.
However the company did have a major setback towards the later part of the 2000's though, as they produced some refrigerators between 1999 and 2006 which were deemed "unsafe" by the CPSC. A recall for these products was finally started by the company in 2009, but it had done some serious damage to the reputation of the company. Many questions arose about the company, as some speculated that Viking were aware of these issues but chose to ignore them. Sales soon begun to decline, and the future of the company looked to be in doubt.
In 2013 the company was taken over by The Middleby Corporation, which is the largest manufacturer of kitchen products in the USA. The company was reorganised and relaunched, and they honoured the warranties of older products in order to show that the company was committed to customers who had previously trusted the brand. This has clawed back some of the public trust issues which had hounded the company the past few years, and the company seems to be on the rise again. The reorganisation of the company reduced their smaller appliance product range, and unfortunately their coffee makers were some of the products which were discontinued.
So now the big question is whether or not these coffee makers are high quality like some of their earlier products, or whether they suffer from some of the much publicised quality control issues which plagued them a few years ago. Lets have a look at one of their most popular model to see how it has held up.
Viking VCCM12 Coffee Maker
One of the most popular Viking products in the past few years has been the VCCM12 coffee maker. This is a rather generously sized 12 cup coffee maker, which still seems quite relevant today. You will need a bit of counter size to house this model, with dimensions of 9″W x 11.5″D x 15″H. It comes in a metallic silver, or a black and silver finish. Both of these finishes are very stylish, but it does seem like the metallic silver finish is the favourite amongst consumers. When it was first released in 2010 it was priced around the $250 mark, but this dropped to nearer $180 by the time it was discontinued in 2013. So aside from a visually appealing product, what else did that get you? This model can make up to 12 cups, and you can brew 4 as a minimum. Like most other upper end models, this one has a programmable clock which helps to ensure you can always wake up or come home to a fresh cup of coffee.
If you often find yourself in a hurry, or simply can't wait to get your coffee, then the "Brew Break" feature will be ideal for you. This means you can pour the first cup of coffee as soon as it is ready, instead of having to wait for the whole batch to finish.
The carafe is made out of stainless steel, and helps to keep your coffee warm for many hours.
So how easy is it to operate the machine? There are two pull out containers on the right hand side of the machine, which are accessed using the recessed handle. One is filled with water, and the other one is filled with coffee. All you need to do is fill up either with the desired quantity, and you are ready to go. It comes with a built in stainless steel filter, so no need to worry about having to spend extra money on filters over the years. Lastly there is a tea basket included, so you can also use this to make tea, or even plain old hot water!
But is it as good buy?
With all those nice features and extras, it does sound quite enticing to buy doesn't it? However…There have been some complaints about this model, so it seems fair that we should mention those too. The first and foremost issue seem to be the dreaded flashing "DCL" message which gets displayed on the machine, essentially rendering it virtually useless. The flashing DCL message on the lcd means it is time to descale the machine. The problem many folks face is that even after performing the descaling and clearing the message, it returns after a few hours or days. This can be a huge nuisance, as the descaling procedure can take a while to perform. For anyone that has a machine that displays the DCL message, the way to get rid of it is to press the On button, and then hold down the Brew button for a few seconds. This should get rid of it, but make sure you descale the machine first if you haven't already done this. If you are one of the unlucky ones who can't seem to get rid of this error message even after descaling, then there doesn't seem to be another obvious fix unfortunately.
Something else to worry about is the machine overflowing. A common issue is that the filter and intake pipe can get gummed up, which makes the unit overflow. A suggested solution to this is to avoid finely ground coffee, and only use medium and above sized ground coffee. There have also been some reports of the unit leaking where the water tank connects to the machine. However there is no clear reason for why this happens.
Another common complaint about this model is it tends to be a bit noisy. This is only during the brewing phase however, but we see this as only a minor issue as all coffee makers tend to make some noise.
So that is a look at the VCCM12 coffee maker. As you can see it has a number of good feature, but there have also been quite a few complaints and issues with this particular model. Looking at the Amazon product page, the current user rating is a rather unappealing 2.6 stars, so clearly these issues are quite common if you read some of the user reviews. For that reason alone, it is hard to really recommend this model at the full retail price as it seems like a bit of a hit and miss as to whether you get a "good" model or not. If you see a cheap second hand model, then it's certainly worth a look if you aren't spending too much cash. This is one of the last coffee makers that Viking made, and perhaps that is for the best.

A Peruvian man was reportedly nearly buried alive after undertakers found that the person they just put in a coffin was still breathing.
Franklin Mandujano Doroteo was mistakenly pronounced dead by doctors at of the Contingency Hospital of Tingo Maria in Huanuco, Central Peru.
The 24-year-old was in fact merely heavily sedated, according to local media.
It is not known in what state Mr Doroteo was when doctors pronounced him dead, but it is alleged that he had been given a sedative after suffering a fever following dental work.
He was then allegedly brought to an undertaker where his body was prepared for burial.
But as he was lifted into a coffin before being interred, one of the workers is said to have realised he was still breathing.
Mr Doroteo was rushed to hospital but unfortunately he was then allegedly pronounced dead soon after arriving.
Now, local news claims Mr Doroteo's family are seeking justice for their loved one.

Two years ago, I had a short series of crisis in hospital when I have to go through (1) amniocentesis test, (2) part one medical termination and (3) the whole ordeal from before delivering and after delivering my baby. I have to say the worst has to be the 7 different blood test I have to go through right after a traumatic delivery. Imagine the stress my body have to go through. The inexperience nurse sure do no help in calming the whole situation. In fact, the two nurse do more bad than good. One of my vein got punctured. (4) the insertion of butterfly needle and (5) the numerous jab through butterfly needle for the next 48 hours.
One would have thought the whole experience would have pushed me to a severe form of needle phobia. Surprisingly things got a lot better this time round. It wasn't easy convincing myself to be fearless but I am glad I have somewhat overcome part of the needle phobia syndrome. I don't deny I still have fear everytime I step in the room to get a blood test done but things were better compared to before. What is more surprising is I now go through every medical blood test without applying EMLA cream. It is a big progression and I am proud of myself.
So how did convince or hypnotised myself? Like I say it wasn't easy. I was still afraid of needle and the pain right up to the day before I need to get my first blood test done in February. I even went through all the trouble to visit Boots pharmacy just to buy a tube of EMLA cream despite having to go through morning sickness. It was on the very morning the day I need to get the blood test done I sat on bed and talked to myself. Yes, talked to myself. I tell myself
- EMLA is bad. It is drug. I want a drug free pregnancy.
- I don't want to cause a scene when delivering my baby. I want to spend more time bonding with my baby instead of having to go through another round of drama
- If I can go through the whole ugly chapter of medical termination two years ago without EMLA cream, why not now?
So, what did I do to overcome my fear? Nothing much actually. All I did was behaving how I perceive a normal person behave when they need to get their blood test done. Here are the things I do
- Get hubby to place the blood test slip in handbag the night before. Alternatively, only rampage through the pregnancy file for blood test slip the morning I need to get the blood test done.
- Hop in to the surgery 10 minutes before my appointment
- Sign in
- Sit down and wait for my turn
- Walk in to the room calmly. Sit on the reclining chair ignoring whatever thing she is doing in front of me. Do a silent prayer while she meddles with my hand doing what she needs to do.
- Walk out feeling proud of myself :)

Not everyone who hangs on to old household items is a hoarder, but with today's sensationalist media platforms it would be easy to think otherwise. There are a number of shows on TV that focus on people with serious medical conditions who refuse to throw anything away and other shows that follow people who simply
We all know recycling is good for the environment, and most of us are good about separating the real garbage from what can be reused, but recycling is even easier than most of us realize. Read on for three ways to reduce your trash output through these eco friendly habits.
Collect cans and bottles separately
If you keep plastic bottles and soda cans separate from compostable trash and the rest of the recyclable items, you can turn these into cash. Research the laws in your state and see if you're eligible for the refund. Then, check the bottles themselves
Moving in together is a big deal. In fact, studies show that today the majority of young adults will live with a romantic partner at least once, and more than half of all marriages in the U.S. will be preceded by cohabitation. Though living with a partner before marriage isn't a choice everyone will make,

The Virago Book of Fairy Tales
If you are one of the people who insists that 'real' fairy tales are brutal then The Virago Book of Fairy Tales edited by Angela Carter is for you. Not all of the stories are bloody (although many are), but none of them pull their punches. These stories are the original folklore stripped to the bone, and told they way they have been for centuries. It also provides an excellent glimpse at a wider variety of cultural myths. Many of the most well known fairy tales are very Euro-centric. Instead of only hearing about French princesses and English farmers, you can read the stories of little Russian girls and old Eskimo women, of Chinese witches the Armenian 'Snow White'.
As a lover of longer form fiction some of the stories felt very short and light on details. I had to keep reminding myself that majority of these stories were original part of an oral tradition of passing folklore down through the generations. Not all of the stories have an obvious moral or cautionary aspect, but all of them express the kind of stories that seem to be fundamental to humanities understanding of itself. It's fascinating to examine the differences and similarities between the stories in this book, and the ones we all hold in our memories. This Red Riding Hood doesn't get a happily ever after and some Cinderellas have their own magic, but the stories resonate in a way that transcends the country of origin and speaks to something in all of us.
If you're looking for something novel-length with a similar tone I definitely recommend John Connolly's Book of Lost Things. It is absolutely the descendant of fairy tales like the ones found in The Virago Book of Fairy Tales.

BCDS Healthcare Solutions Team understand that running a hospital is an enormous logistical challenge.
Many hospitals currently rely on barcodes and other labour intensive processes to track and manage assets, inventory, patients, medication and more. These methods divert time and attention away from the primary focus of quality patient care and are often inaccurate measurements as they rely on busy staff members with other priorities.
BCDS Healthcare Solutions Team visiting our business alliance partners at the 2018 Australian Healthcare Expo at the ICC in Sydney this week (March 21-23).
Learning more about where and how technology is evolving in the Healthcare Industry is always a priority for us to further develop our solutions for our clients.
BCDS have a number of automated data-capture and RFID technologies that have improved health organisations processes and workflow which have proven to instantly cut costs, improve time management and emergency response times and help eliminate healthcare risks.
RFID in hospitals is vital to achieving operational efficiency, staff and patient safety and increases pharmaceutical quality and authenticity. The Association of Australian Medical Research estimates that every year in Australia approximately 15% of the average hospital's mobile assets are lost or stolen during their useful life and a staff member wastes up to 60 minutes trying to locate assets every shift. BCDS have developed an RFID Solution for healthcare organisations, including hospitals, that can track patients from the moment they check-in and tracking all medical equipment and inventory.
"The BCDS team helped the SAN Hospital go from a manual and inefficient based system to a fully automated RFID real time location system. Their Engineers listened to what we wanted, helped us understand what we needed and designed, developed and implemented a leading edge healthcare solution that we are proud to own.
BCDS have been agile to our requests even if, at times, it is after hours, on the weekends or during the holidays and alike to ensure we are always well supported. The RFID system is now hospital wide and delivers a level of achievable accuracy to the SAN that has never been possible in industry. This allows our systems, processes and staff to act more proactively and less reactively in achieving an industry leading healthcare institution."

Those who take hallucinogens — primarily LSD users — occasionally reexperience events or sensations from trips long after the effects of the drug have worn off. Such flashbacks may occur many weeks or even many months after the use of the drug. People who have experienced flashbacks describe them as being as vivid as the initial experiences, although they are aware that they are experiencing a flashback, not a real LSD trip.
Several studies focusing on flashbacks experienced by LSD users indicate that between 25 and 30 percent of those who take LSD have experienced flashbacks at least once. Ten percent of those found them frightening, although none felt that they were actually in danger. The majority reported that the flashbacks did not disrupt their normal routines; a few even said they found the flashbacks pleasurable.
No one knows what causes flashbacks. The first attempts to explain them suggested that minute amounts of LSD had somehow been "trapped" unabsorbed in the user's brain and had dislodged. More recently, however, this theory has been undermined by research that suggests that some flashbacks are triggered by the use of other drugs such as alcohol or marijuana. Still other researchers believe that flashbacks are the result of various forms of stress such as sleep deprivation or a traumatic experience such as the death of a family member or loss of a job.
Some researchers, however, believe that flashbacks may not be caused by LSD at all. They assert that almost everyone experiences flashbacks, which are simply vivid memories of intense emotional experiences. Many people who have never used hallucinogenic drugs report having flashbacks of events such as an automobile accident, the funeral of a close friend or relative, or some violent incident in which they were involved. Soldiers who have experienced combat sometimes report the same fear and panic of battle overcoming them many years after returning home from war. Since LSD trips can also generate intense emotions, these researchers conclude that no differences exist between flashbacks of LSD trips and other memories of significant events. The question of flashbacks and many other unanswered questions associated with LSD use lie at the heart of why LSD use continues to be of concern to the medical profession.
LSD also continues to be of concern to law enforcement authorities, yet few people are actually prosecuted for possessing the drug. In part, this is because the small quantities in a dose of LSD make it easy to conceal. In part, too, authorities have made a conscious decision to devote their limited resources to eliminating what they see as a much more serious problem: rave drugs.
The 1960s LSD culture in the San Francisco Bay area produced more than its fair share of cultural icons. One who played a major role was Augustus Owsley Stanley III. Known simply as Owsley to the locals, he was the primary producer of LSD in 1964 before the recreational use of LSD was declared illegal.
During the early '60s when LSD was still legal, few people making it paid careful attention to precisely mixing the chemicals. Many amateur chemists failed to get the mixture right, and the resulting compounds made people very sick or failed to induce hallucinations at all. The other problem was that the doses required to create hallucinogens were so small that precise measurements were hard to perform. As a result, users never knew if the dose was the 200 micrograms advertised or double that amount. Owsley's fame throughout the San Francisco area was based on his precise mixing of the chemicals as well as his accurate dosage.
Owsley hired a chemist from the University of California in nearby Berkeley to make sure his LSD was pure, and he quickly acquired the reputation as a reliable maker of LSD. Many people buying LSD demanded that it be made by Owsley because it was considered reliable. Owsley was the first person to buy a professional press for making pills, and he guaranteed that each pill would contain exactly 250 micrograms of LSD. In keeping with the psychedelic spirit of the times, he manufactured the pills in many different colors and gave each a distinctive name, such as "yellow submarine" and "purple haze."
Owsley charged two dollars a dose, and those prices never changed. Even when LSD was declared an illegal substance, Owsley continued to make LSD. He was not in the business for the money, and everyone respected him for that Cheryl Pellerin quotes Owsley in her book Trips: How Hallucinogens Work in Your Brain: "I never told anybody to go out and take it… but… I wanted to take it… and I didn't want to poison myself. I didn't like Russian Roulette with chemicals."

Why Try Glamping
Do you know what glamping is? The idea is that it's by taking nature and then looking for ways to connect and live in it. This normally conveys you to camping however by tossing in a liberal aiding of excitement you wind up with glamping, short for glamorous camping, which has generated numerous types of sentimental, glamourous outdoor living condition which are all under the stars and by nature.
With pixie lights, wood consuming stoves and legitimate twofold beds you can't turn out badly on the sentimental front. A portion of the amazing areas with woods, drift or wide open on offer there is the chance to appreciate dazzling dawns or dusks while out strolling or cycling, or even simply sitting by your tent.
A decent night's rest is vital if not fundamental to a great many people and that isn't something you would connect naturally with the environment, self expanding air beds transform into self flattening part path during that time and you wind up thinking about the hard ground with only a sheet of elastic amongst you and that stick now constraining its way into your back. Most glamping tents accompany legitimate beds with appropriate beddings so following a day of cycling, strolling or lazing by your tent savoring the outside air you are probably going to show signs of improvement night's rest than you would at home.

All over the place, you're in the enormous outside and it's great, the kids have space to play and circled finding new companions abandoning you with the space to appreciate time without them around you, cheerful in the information they are having a great time.

On Confidence
Confidence is a rather contradicting feeling in my life. If in one end of the spectrum I have no fear of ridiculing myself for being unapologetically me - with no issues in appearing in public without make-up and unbrushed hair - on the other end, I'm extremely self-aware and compare myself to everyone, their mum and their dog.
Putting myself here for the world to see triggers the latter and this is the reason why: when trying to built an online presence,
there is a lot of competition in this saturated market, which is still very new with no settled fool-proof formula.
This means that once faced by a plethora of content creators doing outstanding creative work, I feel that my little corner in the World Wide Web can look rather grotty or insignificant. Rash words, I know, but this is just one example of how comparison can easily over rule self-confidence.
It's safe to say that even the most confident and positive person may also have those creeping self-detriment thoughts flashing in their brains from time to time, but the main difference is how these people react to them.
It isn't possible to erase all the negativity out of your mind, but we can learn how to subside and use them as a fuel for strength instead of despair.
I have a choice - I can either loathe for not being able to be where I want to be (regarding blogging or general life), or I can let go of those thoughts and be content with what I can reach right at this moment in my life.
Confidence comes from the serenity of knowing that you are who you are and instead of trying to change it, embrace it! No one is to say that you are good or not good enough for whatever you aim your goals; others shouldn't have the power to decide this in the grand scheme of things.
A month ago I started a little experiment: I decided to act as I if my self-esteem was extremely positive and whenever I were put in a social situation I would go through this exercise of self-affirmation (basically saying "you are confident so ACT confident") in my mind and lo and behold, people treated me differently, friends complimented my appearance, but also my presence. Confidence is a funny thing; it definitely shows when you wear it, just like an accessory for you outfit.

And recently, there came the address of local sales and receipts showing the name of the region continue to rise. Cyber-squatters are people who have stockpiled Internet addresses derived from popular words with the intention of selling them later on for big money. Since it only costs $70 to register a domain name for two years, the profit margin for a cyber-squatter can be immense. So, what can you do if you find your desired domain name taken? You can register a variation of the desired name, purchase the name outright, and try to wait out the existing owner or register the name in a different buy domain names. There are even cheap domains which .e in to play. Essentially, there are a few steps that you will need to take in order to buy cheap domain names that make money. First, you will want to look at the market you're trying to go into. Naturally, this means building a solid plan on how you will actually make money. Take time to look not only at what people are searching for, but also what people are talking about related to your industry. The natural words that people use when referencing subjects related to your market will lead to great domain names that can be bought cheaply. With so many domain name registration businesses out there how can you ensure you choose one of the more reputable ones? If, whatever your sharpness awkward to move the area into a new registrar, and agents do not provide you with the above problems. Go ahead and renew the regions name. In a brace month after .pleting your research, you acquire your taste addition agent to remove the name of an area. Move the name of the region. You will accumulate when you receive that has been invested in the old registrar. Even though the domain's age is a factor, critics believe it only gets a little weight in the algorithm. Since the age of your domain is something you have no control over, it doesn't necessarily mean that your site isn't going to rank well in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). There is a lot more to explore, which is to be done by oneself. To know more about these, get out to the ocean and pick you word. About the Author: 相关的主题文章:

This phantasm
of falling petals vanishes into
moon and flowers …
This phantasm
of falling petals vanishes into
moon and flowers …
The sky at summer's coming dons a cloak of dust
stirred up by wind to form a parasol
for keeping off the heat from earth.
The bees fly not as hitherto forthwith
to drink the nectar of the coral tree,
for they doubt its flower may be forest fire.
Someone hands you an English thriller,
highly recommended.
You don't read English.
You've worked up a thirst
for something you can't afford.
You have deep insights,
brand new, and they sound
like an academic glossing Hölderlin.
You hear the waves at night
ramping against the shore
and you think: that's what waves do.
Worse: you're asked out
when at home you get better coffee,
silence, and you don't expect to be amused.
Awful: not to die in summer
under a bright sky
when the rich dirt
falls easily from the shovel.
Gottfried Benn
Now are the days of summer's glory,
which appoints for lust the hour before dawn,
which congeals somewhat the milk of coconuts,
ripens the royal plantain,
and is loveliest at sunset.
Snow in summer on a dry tongue is sweet,
and after winter sweet for the sailor
to see the spring stars,
but sweetest when one cloak shelters
two lovers,
and the Kyprian is praised.
Many poplars and many elms shook overhead,
and close by, holy water swashed down noisily
from a cave of the nymphs. Brown grasshoppers
whistled busily through the dark foliage. Far
treetoads gobbled in the heavy thornbrake.
Larks and goldfinch sang, turtledoves were moaning,
and bumblebees whizzed over the plashing brook.
The earth smelled of rich summer and autumn fruit:
we were ankle-deep in pears, and apples rolled
all about our toes. With dark damson plums
the young sapling branches trailed on the ground.

Are we on track to start opening the skies to civilian UAVs by December 2015? Maybe, maybe not.
Two very recent reports released by the Federal government shed light on the current status of the UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) integration into the national airspace over the United States.
I have provided links to these documents at the end of this article. A summary of their contents follows. The documents are not terribly long and are very legible. If you have any kind of serious interest in UAV technology, I strongly recommend at least reading this entire article.
I am also including a link to the AUVSI (Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International) Code of Conduct, which is playing a key role in the integration discussions.
The preferred terms in use by the Federal government are drone and UAS (unmanned aircraft system). I have changed these terms to a uniform use of the word UAV.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent, nonpartisan agency that works for Congress. Often called the "congressional watchdog," GAO investigates how the federal government spends taxpayer dollars.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is entrusted for ensuring the safety of the airspace over the United States. The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, signed into law a few months ago, laid out the roadmap for the integration of civilian UAVs into the national airspace.
The plan calls for the integration to begin before the end of 2015. Full integration is expected to take five years. In other words, even if the plan stays on schedule, do not expect full access to the airspace for close to ten years from now.
Status Report
GAO reported in 2008 that UAVs could not meet the aviation safety requirements developed for manned aircraft and that this posed several obstacles to safe and routine operation in the national airspace system. These obstacles still exist and include the inability for UAVs to sense and avoid other aircraft and airborne objects in a manner similar to manned aircraft; vulnerabilities in the command and control of UAVs operations; the lack of technological and operational standards needed to guide safe and consistent performance of UAVs; and final regulations to accelerate the safe integration of UAVs into the national airspace system.
The FAA has missed one deadline in its UAV integration plan and could miss others. According to FAA, its draft Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) that would define and govern how small UAVs (55 pounds or less) would potentially operate in the national airspace system will be issued at the end of 2012.
Integration Issues
Key challenges to UAV integration in domestic airspace include safety concerns, potential security risks, and concerns regarding airspace restrictions and possible disruptions to manned flight operations.
To meet safety objectives, UAVs will require technology and standard procedures for sensing and avoiding other air traffic under all possible scenarios, including lost communications.
The GAO concluded that no suitable technology is currently available to provide unmanned aircraft, particularly small UAVs, with the detect, sense, and avoid requirements needed to safely operate within the national airspace system. FAA is currently evaluating options for routinely allowing small unmanned aircraft to use line-of-sight as an acceptable means to detect and avoid manned aircraft under a regulatory regime for small UAVs.
Standards that will be published in 2014, along with findings from unmanned aircraft integration testing, will likely form the basis of FAA regulations and guidance regarding sense and avoid technologies and UAV operating procedures.
To minimize the likelihood of a crash when communications, command, and control linkages between the vehicle and the ground control station are disrupted, UAVs may need the ability to autonomously return to base.
The accident rate for unmanned aircraft is far above that of manned aircraft. To mitigate flight risks, The FAA may put in place structured training and certification requirements for unmanned aircraft pilots.
One particularly important human factors consideration for regulators is a determination regarding training standards and minimum qualification requirements for personnel involved in flight operations. One approach would be for FAA to develop basic training and certification standards for operators of small UAVs, while requiring more elaborate training and certification requirements for personnel seeking to operate or maintain large, complex unmanned aircraft systems.
The GAO noted that the lack of dedicated radio frequency spectrum for UAV operations raises the risk of lost communications links due to either unintentional or intentional signal interference. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations agency responsible for global information and communications technologies. In December 2009 the ITU concluded that unmanned aircraft operations will require dedicated radio frequency spectrum for air traffic control, vehicle command and control, and sense and avoid capabilities.
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) represents more than 400,000 general aviation pilots and aviation enthusiasts across the United States. It has asserted that unmanned aircraft operations should not have a negative impact on general aviation operations and should not require special airspace designations, such as restricted airspace, for their operation.
Privacy Concerns
While unmanned aircraft may carry a wide variety of sensor payloads for diverse applications, cameras and imaging sensors have raised particular concerns among privacy advocates who fear that widespread civilian unmanned aircraft operations could lead to abuses in monitoring, tracking, and surveilling people throughout the courses of their daily lives.
Concerns have been raised regarding the commercial use of drones, including their potential use by marketing firms, private investigators, and paparazzi.
In general, navigable airspace for full-size aircraft is considered to be 500 feet above ground level and higher, except in congested areas where the minimum safe altitude rises to 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a 2,000-foot radius of the aircraft's position at any given time.
The Federal government has exclusive sovereignty of domestic airspace, thus significantly limiting state and local governments from promulgating laws, regulations, or ordinances affecting access to the national airspace system. Landowner rights with regard to the navigable airspace above private property are similarly restricted.
However, nuisance suits pertaining to aviation noise have allowed recovery for annoyance, inconvenience, discomfort, and mental and emotional distress, as well as for property damage. History suggests that the introduction of civilian drones in the national airspace system is likely to be a highly contentious matter.
