During 2012, all our children that we gave secondary education scholarships to passed the year and will advance to the next level in 2013. We will hand out the next round of scholarships in January 2013 for the whole year, which will cover many items they need to complete the whole year.
Although more exciting than that, we are currently in the midst of paperwork to legalise our very own secondary school, whereby we will pay for our own teachers to give the secondary classes to the children, without them having to go to another school. By paying for teachers, we can reachout to even more children desperate to further their education and thanks to donors, past present and future, we can raise the funds necessary to cover teacher salaries in years to come.
Many thanks for all your support, please get involved in our Christmas Appeal, and bring on 2013, a great year for everyone
We are now drawing to the end of this year's offical cycle, with the children finishing off their final exams. The preliminary results look incredible with many marks in the high 80´s and 90´s which is amazing! This year has been a landmark year, as we move from volunteer-led teaching, to the hiring of local teachers, most of whom came through the ranks in our school over the past ten years, which just shows how well the education program is progressing, and becoming sustainable which is our overall aim! With the school now fully official in Itzapa and plans to make Santa María official in 2014, the future is looking very bright for the children in Guatemala.
Thank you once again to all of your generous donations which help us to make these fantastic differences, you can clearly see what a difference they are making to the lives of these children when they are young, providing them with the education & ability to come back to teach in the schools when they have grown up!
This month in our San Andres Itzapa Community we took a break from school for the day and headed off into the countryside for a day of tree planting. GVI's in-field partners, The Phoenix Projects, run a reforestation program in conjunction with a Stove Construction Project where GVI volunteers build an energy-efficient stove for a family. Without stoves the majority of families in the communities cook on open fires, burning large amounts of wood and clearing substantial areas of trees on a regular basis. Once a month all the children, staff and volunteers head off armed with tools and armfuls of tree seedlings for tree planting day; making an effort to counteract the negative impact deforestation has on the local environment.
Living conditions for the children who attend our school are basic; often a communal living space with an open fire for cooking. Not only is this dangerous with children living and playing near the open fire but it fills the living area with toxic smoke. The stoves that a GVI volunteer can build in just a week are fitted with a chimney to rid the indoor living area of smoke which in turn increases life expectancy as well as cutting fuel consumption by a considerable amount.
About 75% of the Guatemalan population burn wood as fuel for cooking and heating which contributes to more than 1620 Km of deforestation in Guatemala each year (AIR, Alliance for International reforestation). The knock on effect of this leads to problems with water supply, soil erosion, reduction in air quality and also depletes the natural supply of nutrients in the soil which, as farmers, most of our families rely on for source of food and income.
As well as reforestation Phoenix Project's goal is to build a stove for each family of the 600 children that attend the two schools in Guatemala.
In addition to planting a considerable amount of trees on the day it was a great opportunity for our volunteers to see more of the local community and town where they work. Most of our pupils are already expert tree planters with knowledge of the local tree species so were able to teach the staff and volunteers a thing or two!
In the United Nations Development Programme's 2011 Human Development Index (a worldwide measure of life expectancy, education and living standards) Guatemala ranked 131 out of 187. The poverty is mainly concentrated among the indigenous communities who live in rural areas such as San Andreas Itzapa and Santa Maria where The Phoenix Projects are based.
Our first year of our schools legality in San Andrés Itzapa, Guatemala, has been an unbridled success thus far, with us being able to employ previous students who we have put through teacher-training college.
Costing roughly $200 a month per teacher and at present we have 10 employed. We are not only giving the children an excellent education from these young enthusiastic teachers, we are also helping the local economy through increased employment, whilst showing the younger children what opportunities there are and how achievable they are.
Thanks to continued donations, we can keep this dream alive for the community.
After years of legalities, form filling and jumping through hoops, we received the news that the "Pájaro de Fuego" school was finally granted official status. This new status has some big consequences; the students will be able to receive official qualifications in the school, rather than having to use valuable funds to send them to national school to receive their certificates. Phoenix, with some funds raised through the GVI Charitable Trust, now pays for 8 local teacher salaries, most of whom have come through the ranks on our projects over the years and all of whom we have helped through teaching college.
Towards the end of March 2012, all 240 children took their first official exams and with most of the grades coming through, we are seeing an incredible high average of marks from sciences, maths, Spanish, English and written Kaqchikel, which before, was unavailable. With the majority of children averaging over 80%, this puts them in the top 10% of Guatemalan schools. In Guatemala, only 70% of children finish Primary education (according to UNESCO data), with girls 8.4% less likely to finish that boys (SEGEPLAN). Of those children taking exams, 12.5% will fail the grade and have to retake the year, often leading to them dropping out altogether.
Thanks to the continuous presence of our volunteers we are able to run reinforcement lessons for those children who a falling behind, as well as teaching and assisting with the kinder kids, whose need for more attention is critical. It marks a watershed in history, slowly breaking the circle, whereby ex-students are employed to teach, moving one step closer to self-sustainability.

Children's LiteratureThe first in the "Black Lagoon Adventures" series is sure to cause a riddle riot with readers everywhere. The text of this early reader is full of puns and quips for a fun introduction to word play. The ongoing adventures of this imagined class trip are full of ferocious animals, over-the-top bugs and monsters, and the meanest of mean teachers, Mrs. Green. Once the kids realize that their real class trip is simply to the zoo, nothing can be as bad as what they have already imagined. The sticker page seems a little out of place for this type of book, but the zany illustrations are a perfect complement to the wacky adventures. Readers will enjoy from the first page to the last. 2002, Scholastic Inc, Ages 7 to 10.

The Superman reboot 'Man of Steel' filmed some more scenes yesterday with Plano, Illinois, filling in for Smallville, and, um, here are some pictures of Henry Cavill in the new, very very tight Superman costume.

Current president, Max Oligario, and incoming president Grant Mehlich, of Tampa Bay Seminole Club, share with us tips and tricks of hosting a successful kickoff party.
What makes a great venue for a kickoff party and what are things to consider when choosing a kickoff party venue (e.g., budget, number of attendees, ambiance, audio/visual, etc.)?
MAX: I would say the most important attributes for a great venue would be location, size of the venue and management. Location should always be considered because you need to ensure that it's accessible to members and in an area they are willing to travel to. Consider if it's in a popular part of town or if it is isolated where people will be forced to stay. The size of the venue is important because you don't want your guests to be uncomfortable. Further, you want to look at your selection for a venue from a long-term perspective and ensure that it has the ability to allow for growth of your kickoff party. Additionally, management is always my biggest factor when considering a venue. What are the values and goals of management and are they aligned with your clubs? Do they support Florida State University? Are they looking for a long-term relationship or to make a quick buck? What is the reputation of the location and management in your local area? All things to consider when determining the best venue for your kickoff party. Ideally the best venue will be well located, with sufficient room for your club now and in the future with a management team that is pro FSU and willing to work in building a long-term relationship. Continue reading

Each summer, Seminole Clubs across the nation coordinate Seminole Send-Off parties for incoming students and their parents. Seminole Send-Offs are an opportunity for new Noles to meet current students and alumni to ask questions about life at FSU.
We encourage clubs and chapters to host these festive gatherings and celebrate with incoming students and their parents. Events range from barbecues, brunches, bowling, dessert socials, sporting events, to dinners or more formal receptions.
We recommend Seminole Send-Offs occur before June 25 (before incoming freshman start Summer Session C on June 27). However, Seminole Send-Offs can go through the month of August. For more information about send-offs, download the FSU Alumni Association's 2016 Seminole Send-Off Guidelines, or contact your club staff coordinator. Continue reading

Many of the problems connected with the transmission of tuberculosis have been restudied as a result of the papers of Koch and von Behring. The former discussed the relation between human and bovine tuberculosis, the latter, the milk transmission of the disease, and both departed so radically from accepted beliefs that their declarations have led to attacks on many cognate aspects of the problem. The paper of von Behring necessitated, among other things, a belief in the old view of von Baumgarten that tubercle bacilli may remain latent in the body for years and subsequently give rise to tuberculosis. This view primarily arose from the fact that the supporters of the inheritance of the germ theory were constantly confronted with the small number of cases of congenital tuberculosis, which rendered a belief in the latency of the germ a logical necessity for them. Notwithstanding the fact that so few cases

Hey there,
I am really new to WordPress. I looked for a suitable answer in the forum but did not find it. Here is my situation:
I have a blog on blogspot running, but want to move to WordPress (no matter if I can take the posts with me or not). I have a domain already, running on a German host (1&1) - until now I just had a DNS setting to redirect from my URL to my blogspot blog which was very easy to use.
Now I signed up for a host at fatcow and installed WordPress. I want to redirect from my URL lifestyle030.de to my new WP blog, including the stuff that it's not only a simple redirection but also a full implementation of the URL (for example when clicking on a post --> URL will be like lifestyle030.de/example) - you will probably know what I mean.
I tried to find out what I have to do and where I gotta look, but there are so many possibilites - so what exactly do I have to do now? I would be very grateful for help.

CNN Films and Kartemquin Films receive NATAS Best Documentary Emmy nomination for Roger Ebert film "Life Itself."
A report from SDCC on an actor who has been in all three of the new "Star Trek" films. Well, sorta.
"So I Married an Axe Murderer" is a mediocre movie with a good one trapped inside, wildly signaling to be set free. The good movie involves a droll and eccentric Scottish-American family whose household embraces more of the trappings of Scottishness than your average Glasgow souvenir shop. The bad movie is about a young man's romance with a woman he comes to suspect is an ax murderer.
It is one of the film's peculiarities that the same actor, Mike Myers, is the star of both the good and the bad parts. In a dual role, he plays a father and son named Mackenzie. The son, a San Francisco poet named Charlie, stops off at a "foreign meats" shop to buy that unspeakable Scots delicacy called haggis, and falls instantly in love with the butcher, played by Nancy Travis. The father, named Stuart, lives with his wife of many years (Brenda Fricker) in a house where time has stood still since the day he left Scotland. He seems less an immigrant, indeed, than a colonist.
Old man Stuart, phlegmatic and yet excitable behind his thick glasses, is blunt-spoken to the point of verbal assault. He is particularly cruel, for example, on the subject of the big head of Charlie's younger brother. When his wife cautions him not to hurt the boy's feelings, he observes sardonically that no doubt the lad will cry himself to sleep "on his bleepin' huge pillow." I don't know if a market exists for feature-length Scots-bashing, but the domestic scenes in "So I Married an Axe Murderer" had me laughing out loud. More funny moments are provided by Anthony LaPaglia, as Charlie's buddy, an L.A. cop who gives useless advice on such subjects as ax murderers. (The two friends share a tour of Alcatraz during which "Saturday Night Live's" Phil Hartman has a wicked role as a guard who confides, "Everyone here calls me Vicki.") Those scenes approached comic greatness; not so other scenes, unfortunately more numerous, in which young Charlie falls in love with the butcher girl despite his mother's premonitions of danger (she reads and trusts only one newspaper, the Weekly World News, in which a multiple ax-murderess's description seems to match her son's girlfriend to a T).
What eventually sinks the film is the tiresome necessity of resolving the plot. It is all too clear to the audience that the conventions of the plot require (a) that the butcher seem absolutely likely to be an ax murderer, (b) that the evidence be overwhelming, (c) that it seem as if the hero is about to be murdered with an ax, and (d) that there be a surprise resolution. Since we do not give two ticks in a haystack whether or not Travis is an ax murderer, all of these plot points feel like a large waste of time.
If he establishes nothing else in the film, Myers proves that his success in "Wayne's World" was not a fluke. He is very capable and funny here, in roles not unlike those Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness used to play: Eccentrics trapped in worlds that are seemingly normal, yet secretly more bizarre even than their fantasies.
(Editor's note: The makers of this film decided to spell axe with the e; we at the Sun-Times spell ax without the e. Just in case you thought we were sloppy.)

Posted May 26 2010 6:34PM
PHOENIX -- The Suns weren't surprised to hear the series was over after two games. They've heard it before. Plenty.
"All season, people really don't want to believe," Grant Hill said after Phoenix squared up the Western Conference finals at 2-2 with Tuesday night's 115-106 victory. "We like proving people wrong."
Two dominating performances by the Lakers in Los Angeles began the countdown to the Lakers' inevitable return to The Finals. Having the Boston Celtics waiting at the other end was just icing on the revenge cake. Count President Obama among those riding the Lakers-Celtics bandwagon.
Never mind that Phoenix hadn't taken its swings at home. As Suns coach Alvin Gentry reminded recently, no one counted San Antonio out after Phoenix won the first two games of the West semifinals.
So why were so many quick to dismiss Planet Orange?
The doubts began early. Missing the playoffs last season in the rugged West fueled the skepticism. Few bought into the 14-3 start. Many expected a December-January swoon to linger.
The Suns don't play defense. They don't rebound. Amar'e Stoudemire was on the block. Portland was capable of springing a first-round upset. Phoenix can't beat the Spurs in the playoffs.
And the Suns' chances against the champs? Please.
"We've got to understand they're a team [that's] dangerous, as they proved," Pau Gasol said. "I think people were overlooking them after the first two games and just thinking ahead already. And so obviously that's a big mistake."
Outclassed in L.A., Hill suggested the Suns' bench took it personally. Stoudemire returned to the desert with something to prove and words -- Lamar Odom was "lucky" -- to back up. Channing Frye had to prove he could hit a shot.
But was the two-game turnaround just confidence and motivation?
"The clippings said this was going to be an easy series and obviously that's why you play the games," Jared Dudley said.
Gentry's underdogs certainly moved the ball better inside US Airways Center. The Lakers remained confounded by the zone, with Kobe Bryant the only one willing to attack and collapse the Suns' defense. Phoenix held its own on the boards, got back to running the open floor and feasted at the free-throw line.
The same Suns team that appeared exposed at the start of the series suddenly had the Lakers reeling. Phoenix has transformed a potential sweep into a best-of-3.
How perspective can change in three days.
"If you play this game you want to play the best, and this team's the best," Dudley said of the Lakers. "Not only do we want to play, we want to win. We're not just satisfied going 2-2. We're not shocked."
All of this Suns' momentum can get washed away in the SoCal surf Thursday night. The Lakers can regain control -- they're 7-0 at home in the playoffs, including two wins over the Suns by a combined 33 points -- and return to Phoenix with a closeout chance Saturday.
"We've got to be ready for Game 5," Gasol said. "And make sure we come out extremely, extremely hard and take the lead again in the series."
Predictably, the Lakers weren't sounding any alarms. Phil Jackson's crew was 2-2 against both Oklahoma City (first round this year) and Denver (in the conference finals last season). The Lakers won Game 5 at Staples Center both times ... and the sixth game to advance.
"Experience is the best teacher of them all," Odom said. "We've been here before. We've been in this situation where we need to go home and get a win."
Kobe Bryant, however, isn't falling back on the past to predict the future.
"This is not last year. Just can't rely on that," he said. "We have to play with a sense of urgency and understand this team can beat us."
While the Lakers realize that, many still don't. The Suns wouldn't want it any other way.
"It's always a 'fluke' " Hill said. "But then when we lose in L.A. ... 'It's over ... L.A.-Boston, that's the big series.'
"I hope they continue to doubt us."

Hi i need to make a VectorIterator, so i need to accept a Vector with any type. I am currently trying to define the type as * like so:
var collection:Vector.<*> = new Vector<*>()
But the compiler is complaining that the type "is not a compile time constant". i know a bug exists with the Vector class where the error reporting, reports the wrong type as missing, for example:
var collection:Vector.<Sprite> = new Vector.<Sprite>()
if Sprite was not imported, the compiler would complain that it cannot find the Vector class. I wonder if this is related?

DEFINITION of 'Dissaving'
Spending an amount of money greater than available income. Dissaving is considered the opposite of saving, and can include tapping into money already in a savings account or accumulated elsewhere. An individual may also borrow against future income by taking out a loan or using credit cards. Dissaving can continue to the point where an individual's income, savings and available credit are all exhausted.
BREAKING DOWN 'Dissaving'
An individual might experience a period of dissaving for a number of reasons. Events within the control of the dissaver may include making too many big ticket purchases in a short time frame, taking an expensive vacation or generally living outside of his or her means. Events outside of the dissaver's control, such as unemployment, may require the individual to tap into reserves even if the individual greatly reduces consumption. In the case of unemployment, disposable income from a salary no longer exists, though obligations may still require payment (rent, loan payments and so on).

Dr. Kristy Goff and Mr. Judson Jones were married May 27, 2010, in Hawaii, with the Rev. Dean Kauka officiating the sunset ceremony. The bride is the daughter of Ms. Tammy Goff and the granddaughter of Ethel Krohn Smith of Long Beach. The groom is the son of Roy Byrd and Debra Jones of Columbus. He is the grandson of Ruth Adams of Columbus and the late Stuart Adams of Macon, and the late John and Helen Jones Fancher of Columbus. Escorted by her mother, the bride wore an Anne Barge couture gown with a front halter neckline and a low criss-cross back extending into a mermaid gown of French Chantilly lace and silk. The gown was accented with miniature silk buttons the length of the train. The brides hair was adorned with white orchids, and she carried a bouquet of white roses. She wore diamond and pearl earrings, a wedding gift from her mother. Dr. Misty Goff Roberts attended her sister as matron of honor. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a champagne sunset toast and cocktail hour, followed by a seated dinner reception and dancing. After a honeymoon through the Hawaiian Islands, the couple is at home in Jackson.

T-Mobile USA Talking about Apple?
Found this PC Magazine news item via the MacRumors site.
T-Mobile Talks Up 3G Network—and Apple?
The article reports Dotson singled out Apple's efforts on the desktop as a "great precursor of where I think the marketplace is headed in 3G," leading to speculation that T-Mobile, not Cingular, will host Apple's much-rumored iPhone project.
Yet, it also says that Dotson focused on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and not the iPod. So, maybe Apple is going with T-Mobile instead of Cingular? Why? Although Cingular has the largest US mobile footprint, T-Mobile has a larger worldwide footprint.

Devils Even Series With Rangers With 3-2 Win
The New Jersey Devils aren't about to lay down. They came out to get some revenge after being shutout in game one to take game two and even the series.
The New Jersey Devils aren't about to lay down. They came out to get some revenge after being shutout in game one to take game two and even the series.
When will the experts learn..They keep harping about how the Rangers struggle to score, and that's true. But these rangers and this Cup this year is about gritty not pretty...
The New York Rangers must have a thing for dramatics. After a hard fought game seven against the Washington Capitals, they are moving on the Eastern Conference finals.
For the second straight round, Madison Square Garden will host a game seven. Two weeks ago the Rangers completed a series comeback against the Ottawa Senators, and Saturday night they'll try to stay alive in the chase for Lord Stanley's Cup with a win over the Capitals. @JoeBianchino
With only seconds left in the game it looked dim again for the New York Rangers, but there was a glimmer of hope and the Blurshirts pulled off a spectacular rally.
They just can't ever make it easy on us can they? It's always has to be a struggle. @JoeBianchino
It took three overtimes, but the New York Rangers were able to get by the Washington Capitals in game three 2-1.
The New York Rangers survived their series with Ottawa with a dramatic win. They carried that momentum over to their game one against Washington on Saturday.
The dramatics came out at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night, as the New York Rangers and Ottawa Senators hooked up for game seven, and the Rangers prevailed 2-1.
The last time the Rangers hosted a game seven they were winning the Stanley Cup. Thursday, they'll just hope to complete a comeback from down 3-2 and advance in this year's chase for sport's best trophy.
Raffi Torres hit Chicago's Marian Hossa pretty hard in game three of the series between the Phoenix Coyotes and Blackhawks. That hit has now resulted in a massive 25 game suspension.
The first game between the Ottawa Senators and the New York Rangers looked easy for the the blueshirts, but Ottawa proved that they will not be easily taken out in the first round.

I got this video sent to me and thought it was hilarious and probably true. I personally do not own a bible and so cannot check the citations that run along the bottom of the screen but hey if you do I'd love to hear the results.
Yeah I'm still labeling this thread as "proof" because religions in general contradict themselves all the time. Like... talking a lot about love except hating all those who disagree with them so it would not surprise me at all to find that the Bible which was patched together over something like 3000-5000 years by something like 50-100 different authors would have more than a few contradictions. That's just logical.
Bring on the bad karma, judging people on this site based on a little coloured bar in the corner is just plain ludicrous anyways.
For some reason it is forbidden to show you idiots that there is no contradictions.You do not read it in context.But we are not allowed to show you because you simply close your mind ears and eyes.

Interesting. Being called an "idiot" by a jackass who doesn't know when to use the word "are" instead of "is."

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/346,432, filed Nov. 29, 1994 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,704,277.
This invention relates to an improved breadmaker and a coding system for such a breadmaker or a program-controlled machine of a similar kind adapted to operate according to specified one of a plurality of provided programs by receiving materials required in the specified program such as ingredients of a selected kind of bread to be baked.
Breadmakers of the type comprising a baking chamber containing an electric heater at the bottom, a baking pan which is a container to be set inside the baking chamber for receiving ingredients therein, a stirrer for stirring and kneading the ingredients inside the baking pan and a motor for rotating the stirrer in a specified manner, have been known. With prior art breadmakers of this type, the air inside the baking chamber is heated by the heater at the bottom and, after it rises inside the baking chamber, allowed to be discharged from the baking chamber. In other words, generated heat was not effectively utilized by such prior art breadmakers.
Breadmakers of the type storing a plurality of programs and allowing a user to select one of them for baking a desired kind of bread have also been known. These programs generally include many complicated steps such as mixing selected ingredients and controlling the baking temperature. With some prior art breadmakers, the user is required to read a cookbook carefully to ascertain the necessary steps before setting an appropriate program. Some breadmakers are preprogrammed, and the user has only to specify the desired kind of bread to be baked, the breadmaker automatically carrying out the program associated with the specified kind of bread. For allowing the user to specify the kind of bread to be baked, some breadmakers are designed to display, as power is switched on, the types of bread that can be specified. An indicator is initially displayed at a default position, say, next to the name of the most commonly selected kind of bread, and the user operates a SELECT button until the indicator moves one position at a time to finally reach a position next to the desired kind of bread. Alternatively, the breadmaker may be provided with as many push buttons as the number of different kinds of bread that can be baked thereby, and the user is required to push the button corresponding to the desired kind of bread. With prior art breadmakers, therefore, the number of programs from which the user can select one is limited because the screen of the display device is not large and the control panel of the machine cannot accommodate too many buttons. With prior art breadmakers, furthermore, the user must carefully add the required ingredients such as flour, sugar, salt and yeast. In other words, prior art breadmakers are not energy-efficient and are difficult to use and the choice of different kinds of bread that can be baked thereby cannot be increased significantly.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide bread makers generally of the type described above which, however, use the generated heat more efficiently.
It is another object of the invention to provide a new coding system for a program-controlled machine such as a breadmaker which allows a user to select one from a larger number of different kinds of product and to cause the machine to operate automatically on a program appropriate for the selected product.
It is still another object of the invention to provide such a coding system with which the user is less likely to make an error in providing ingredients for the specified product.
It is still another object of the invention to provide a cooking machine such as a breadmaker equipped with such an improved coding system.
An improved breadmaker embodying the present invention, with which the above and other objects can be achieved, may be characterized as being like a prior art breadmaker comprising a baking chamber having a heater therein, a baking pan adapted to receive ingredients therein and be set inside the baking chamber, a stirrer for stirring and kneading the ingredient inside the baking pan and a motor for rotating the stirrer in a specified manner, and also comprising an air-circulating means such as a centrifugal fan for causing the air inside the baking chamber to move upward through the fan and to circulate downward around the baking pan.
A coding system embodying the invention, with which the above and other objects can be accomplished, may be characterized as being associated with a machine adapted to carry out selectively any of a plurality of tasks according to a program and by using specific materials both associated with the selected task. An example of such machine is a breadmaker programmed to make different kinds of bread by using different mixtures of ingredients. Each of the products that can be obtained by such a machine is assigned a different code, and a table, serving as an indexing means, is provided to show what code has been assigned to each of the products that can be made or processed by the machine, and a user specifies the product to be obtained or processed by inputting the corresponding code. The materials to be used by the machine for making a product of the specified kind or carrying out a specified process may be provided in the form of a premixed package with the corresponding code clearly printed thereon such that the user is spared of the trouble of mixing the required ingredients himself/herself. The user may specify the code corresponding to the desired product by directly forming it on numeric or alphanumeric keys, or by causing available codes to appear sequentially on a display device one by one and pressing a process-starting button when the code corresponding to the desired product or process is displayed.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a sectional side view of a breadmaker embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic of a coding system embodying the invention as incorporated in a breadmaker;
FIG. 3 is a flow chart of the operation by the control means for the coding system of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is an example of display on the display device of FIG. 2 after reset.
FIG. 1 shows a breadmaker 15 embodying the present invention, including components which are commonly known with reference to prior art breadmakers of a similar type. A baking chamber 50 containing an electric heater 52 near the bottom is formed inside a housing structure 54. The housing structure 54 is provided with a lid 56 which can be opened such that a baking pan 58 for receiving bread ingredients therein can be removably set inside the baking chamber 50. Adjacent to but separated by a chamber-separating wall 80 from the baking chamber 50 inside the housing structure 54, there is a motor chamber 60 containing a stirrer motor 62, of which the drive shaft is in motion-communicating relationship with a stirrer drive shaft 64 through a belt 66 such that stirrer blades (not shown) attached to the stirrer drive shaft 64 for stirring, kneading and mixing the contents of the baking pan 58 can be rotated in a specified manner, such as alternately in the clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, by activating the stirrer motor 62 in a controlled manner.
The motor chamber 60 further contains therein a fan motor 68 for a centrifugal fan 70 which is inside the baking chamber 50 but is separated from the baking pan 58 by a partition wall 72. The partition wall 72 has upper windows 82 above the centrifugal fan 70 and a lower inlet 84 below the centrifugal fan 70 such that, when the fan motor 68 activates the centrifugal fan 70, the air which has been heated by the heater 52 is forced upward therethrough as shown by upwardly pointing arrows in FIG. 1 through the space between the partition wall 72 and the chamber-separating wall separating the baking chamber 50 from the motor chamber 60. The upwardly pushed hot air is forced to pass through the upper windows 82 towards the baking pan 58, flows downward around the baking pan 58 as shown by downwardly pointing arrows in FIG. 1 and is then sucked through the lower inlet 84 towards the centrifugal fan 70. Thus, the heated air inside the baking chamber 50 is caused to circulate therein as shown by the arrows in FIG. 1 around the baking pan 58, instead of becoming discharged out of the baking chamber 50 as was the situation with prior art breadmakers of this type. As a result, heat is more efficiently utilized through convection by a breadmaker embodying the present invention such that up to 2.0 lbs of wheat bread and up to 2.5 lbs of white bread can be baked with the amount of energy required to bake about 1.5 lbs of bread by a prior art bread maker of a comparable design. Because the forced air circulation according to the present invention has the favorable effect of making temperature distribution uniform through the baking pan 58, furthermore, tastier bread with improved texture can be obtained.
A coding system according to the present invention will be described next as applied to a breadmaker such as the one described above with reference to FIG. 1, but it is applicable equally well to many other kinds of program-controlled machines adapted to operate according to any one of a plurality of programs which may each be associated with a different kind of product such as bread by receiving materials such as ingredients required in the selected program.
FIG. 2 shows the breadmaker 15 schematically as incorporating a coding system according to this invention, including a table 16, a memory device 17 which stores many programs and may be considered a part of a central processing unit 18 serving as control means for controlling the general operation of the breadmaker 15 as a whole by following any of these programs, and a control panel 25 provided with a display device 30 such as a liquid crystal display and many switches and buttons as input devices including a STOP/RESET button 31, a COLOR button 32 for choosing between normal and light bread coloring, and a START button 33 for starting a cycle of baking operations according to a selected program. An important feature of the invention is that the kinds of bread which can be baked or the processes which can be carried out by the breadmaker 15 are each assigned a code, which is preferably numeric, but may also be alphabetic or alphanumeric. As a practical example, numerical codes "10", "20" and "60" are assigned to represent not only "basic bread", "whole wheat bread" and a process of "kneading", respectively, but also the corresponding programs stored in the memory device 17 and intended to be called through the control means 18 to control the operation of the breadmaker 15 for baking basic bread, baking whole wheat bread and carrying out a predefined kneading process, respectively.
The table 16 is for showing to a user what code has been assigned to each kind of bread or process that can be selected, for example, by listing in one column all the codes which can be specified and in another column the kinds of bread and processes corresponding to the codes in the first column.
According to a preferred method of using the coding system described above, ingredients to be used for making each kind of bread listed in the table 16 are made available in a premixed form in a package as schematically shown at 19. Each package is clearly marked with the code representing the kind of bread to be baked or process to be carried out, that is, the program to be followed by the control means 18. This method is advantageous because the possibility of making errors by the user can be reduced when ingredients are poured into the baking pan 58 of the breadmaker 15, and the user is spared of the trouble of preparing a required mixture of ingredients.
Next, the process of selecting a kind of bread to be baked or a process to be carried out and specifying it by a code to the control means 18 will be described with referenced to the flow chart of FIG. 3 as well as the schematic of FIG. 2.
According to most practical embodiments of the invention, the program which is used most frequently, or believed to be used most frequently, is treated as the default program. Since the basic kind of bread with normal coloring is usually selected most frequently, the program for baking the basic bread is defined as the default program such that, when the STOP/RESET button 31 is pressed to reset the control means 18 (YES in Step S1), the code "10" corresponding to BASIC BREAD is automatically selected. Thus, after a reset, the display on the display device 30 will be as shown in FIG. 4 (Step S2).
The control panel 25 is provided with an UP button 34 and a DOWN button 35 for changing the specified program. The codes which are assigned to different kinds of bread and processes are arranged in a sequence (in an ascending order, for example, if the codes are numeric) such that, whenever the UP button 34 or the DOWN button 35 is pressed (YES in Step S3 or S5), the control means 18 selects the program corresponding to the next code in the sequence in the forward or backward direction, respectively, and causes the new code corresponding to the newly selected program to be displayed on the display device 30, as well as the name of the corresponding kind of bread or process selected (Step S4 or S6). Similarly, if the COLOR button is pressed (YES in Step S7), the selected color changes from normal to light or from light to normal, and the display on the display device 30 also changes from NORMAL to LIGHT, or from LIGHT to NORMAL (Step S8). When one of the codes and the bread color (normal or light) have been selected and the START button 33 is pressed (YES in Step S9), the control means 18 begins to operate the breadmaker 15 according to the selected one of the stored programs (Step S10).
As shown in FIG. 2, the control panel 25 is further provided with a timer button (TIMER) for entering the timer setting mode of operation to set a timer (not shown), a clock button (CLOCK) for entering the clock setting mode of operation to set a clock (not shown), an hour button (HR) and a minute button (MIN) for respectively setting the hour and the minute in the timer and clock setting modes, and a set button (SET) for setting the timer or the clock, as well as light emitting diodes marked TIMER, OPERATION and COMPLETE to show respectively that the control is in the timer setting mode, that the baking operation is going on and that the baking operation has been completed. These and similar kinds of buttons and diodes have been in use with prior art breadmakers, and their functions are well known by the users. Thus, they are illustrated in FIG. 2 but will not be described in any detail herein.
The present invention was described above with reference to only a few examples. These examples are intended to be merely illustrative, however, and not limitative. Many modifications and variations are possible on the disclosed examples. For example, the coding system of the present invention need not relate to a breadmaker, or more generally to a cooking machine, but also to any program-controlled machine allowing a user to select one of a plurality of programs and operating on such a selected program by using a special material associated with the program. A particular coding method was illustrated above, but the codes need not necessarily be arranged in a sequence such that they appear in the display device one by one in that sequence, either in the forward or backward direction, to allow the user to decide whether or not to select the one of the choices being displayed. The control panel may be provided with numeric keys, or alphanumeric keys, to allow the user to form a numeric or alphanumeric code to directly call a desired program. In summary, any such modifications and variations that may be apparent to a person skilled in the art are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
