Braun KF550 Aroma Passion Filter Coffee maker : Not quite perfect

Good but you will need to use more coffee. It works well and i think the filter to prevent scaling does make the coffee taste smoother. It is also very quick and keeps the coffee very hot. However these last two features are also disadvantages because the speed of coffee making means that the water runs through far too quickly (and there is no strength adjuster) so you will need to put a lot more coffee in if you want a reasonably strong cup. And because the hotplate is very hot, you end up with something tasting like instant coffee after 10 minutes or so. My previous machine, a krupps, made very good coffee but suffered the disadvantage, reported elsewhere, that after about a year it developed a fatal leak – tamper proof screws down a narrow hole meant it was too much bother trying to repair it.
It does what it says on the box; makes good coffee, keeps it warm between cups and doesn't dribble unless you rush the pouring from the jug. I won't repeat jonty h campbells review below, but suffice to say he is spot on. Additional shortcomings of the design include the fact that the water gauge is on the opposite side to the swing out of the filter holder. This means that if you want to place the long side against a wall you cannot see the water gauge (because you cannot block the filter holder access), doh. The measuring graduations on the jug don't coincide with the gauge, ok so long as you only ever use one or other as your guide. If you are ever in the us the plug in water filters are half the uk price. I firstly bought a cheapy coffee maker from argos, and promptly took it straight back. The braun is 100% better than the £9.
Braun kf550 aroma passion filter coffee maker. Braun kf550 aroma passion filter coffee makerif you prefer ordinary filter coffee to cappuchino or espresso, then this machine is for you. It is simple to use, easy to clean, very well made (not that cheap and nasty plastic some manufacturers use) and very, very fast. The machine has no gadgets and no frills, it's just a plain and honest coffeemaker. This is now my second braun aroma passion machine. I bought the first one on a trip to germany and it lasted for nearly 15 years, brewing coffee at least 5 times daily. The reliability is just staggering. And this new, updated model even comes with a britta water filter built in. Here are the specifications for the Braun KF550 Aroma Passion Filter Coffee maker:
- Number of cups: 10
- Fast brewing system delivering premium aroma
- Water filtration system for optimal taste
- One free special Brita water filter included
- Automatic switch off after two hours
- Open, non-slipping handle
- Easy pouring
- Filter release system for convenient handling
- Pivoting filter basket with overflow protection
- Take-out filter basket for easy filling
- Large, visible pilot light
- Water level indicator
Bought this machine 3 years ago and use it every day. Simple, top quality machine.
I have bought numerous filter coffee makers in the past, from the very cheap to very expensive, and the jug on the vast majority is always a disaster. You always seem to need to mop up the worktop as well as the cup because they always drip, no matter how carefully and slowly you pour the coffee, but the braun kf550 aroma passion filter coffee maker is superb. It pours perfectly on every occasion and keeps the remaining coffee very hot.
Reviews from purchasers :
- Not quite perfect
- Excellent coffee maker
- Top Notch Machine
This is my second braun coffee filter maker and the previous one we have used daily for years and years. We only drink filter coffee so our machine is a 'work-horse', can't stand that instant stuff. I had a smashing time and therefore had to replace the jug on my previous machine which proved easy to get. So i now have a spare one for the new machine. I would certainly recommend this machine and i would buy it again. I hope braun do not change the design, this one suits my kitchen. On the downside:my husdand does not like his coffee too hot and i therefore pour out his cup immediately the water has filtered. I like mine to stand for a few minutes which brings it up to my temperature. Two friends who like it piping hot (takes the skin off the roof of your mouth) i have to give their coffee an extra blast in the microwave.
Closebut no cigar: the braun kf550 series. I bought *this* braun kf550 aromapassion filter coffee machine in 2003 to replace my old braun 'flavorselect' model,which i 'freecycled'. ) it's the one that appears in some hollywood films including 'one fine day' with michelle pfeiffer and george clooney – pfeiffer uses a black one in her apartment (though mine was white. ) i also saw it in the sopranosalternatively, use the cheaper option of a manual filter: melitta coffee filter cone 1×4 (black) though the results won't be as good unless the hot water is kept at a uniform 93 deg. C, which is where a filter machine comes in, or, as we shall see in a moment, should come in. The kf550 has given solid trouble-free every other day service since 2003, until i broke the (no longer available) carafe in 2008. :-/it has a removable water filter and micro-mesh nylon permanent washable filter basket cone – use your own water filter jug as the braun slot-in replacements are dear.

If a Kurd in the North or Shi'ite in the South gets at the head of a mass movement to create their own country as a response to the chaos there, what should be our response? What we call a failed state needing democracy to become healed, he might call an illegitimate artificial state imposed on them after the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire by British imperialists. It never had any legitimacy and was only maintained by Saddam's Sunni dominated dictatorship.
If he is really clever he would write a document that echoed our own Declaration of Independence. It would take some nerve to try to tell them they couldn't do it. I can just see him selectively quoting our Founding Fathers in response to justify their bid for independence.
Unlikely as it seems, a George Washington might emerge to unify the country. He'll have no credibility if we appoint him, or arrange for his selection, that's for sure.
Or they just might really need to go their separate ways. If so, I do not see what moral authority we would have to deny them that course. We are just going to have to get used to the idea that the waxing of states has ended and the waning of states is in motion. Sending a bunch of troops around the world to prop up disintegrating unions is just a losing proposition, whether they are sitting on petroleum or not.
I have no idea what the future holds, but it just seems like we are hoping to preserve an old order in the Middle East and elsewhere, that is disappearing due to forces beyond our control. Better to stand aside, set the best example we can as a nation, and deal with whoever is sitting across the poker table from us than try to engineer who the new poker players will be. It just isn't our bailiwick.

"President" Donald Trump has reached a decision on who will pay for the wall he plans to erect on the border with Mexico, and it won't be Mexico. A day after roiling U.S.-Mexico relations by floating the idea of a border tax hike, press secretary Sean Spicer revealed that idea has been scrapped in favor of a plan to raise taxes on Mexican-Americans.
"We're doubling all taxes on Mexican-Americans, which is way better than getting Mexico to pay for the wall, because it gets the job done without starting a trade war which we would definitely win if we did start it. The point is it's time Mexican-Americans pay both their fair share and somebody else's fair share, too. That way, real Americans won't be burdened with the cost of building the AWESOME DONALD TRUMP WON THE POPULAR VOTE FAIR AND SQUARE GREAT WALL OF TRUMPITY TRUMPITY TRUMP TRUMP! That's been trademarked. We're selling hats on the White House lawn."
Asked how the new tax would be collected, Spicer seemed fuzzy on details.
"Sheesh! You act like we plan this stuff out! I don't know, I guess we could start a Mexican-American registry. What a hassle! Wait, here's a thought: let's double the taxes of everybody with brown skin! Close enough, right? Whew! I love my job!"

The Principles of VPN
The question of the best way to describe or define a VPN is but one that is often up for discussion amongst today's network consumers and communications providers. Whenever we go through the literal meaning of the text virtual private network, it can help to understand is, what is actually not, a VPN.
Using Webster's dictionary definitions in the component words, a VPN must have these attributes:
Virtual – defined as "being such practically or perhaps effect, while not in actual fact or name." Therefore, the beginning from the response to our question "what is often a VPN" is it is a thing that acts like a hard-wired network, but is really not.
Private – looked as "of, of, or concerning a person or group; not common or general." So, a VPN should be one where the consumer has exclusive utilisation of the network links. (Note, this is completely different from a good Network, which might be an individual or public network.)
Network – looked as "a system of computers interconnected by telephone wires or any other means so that you can share information." This is actually the goal of a VPN or another form of network.
VPN explained this way is really a network technology giving the dog owner the opportunity to share information with other people about the network using a private, exclusive link that's produced by a technique aside from hard-wires or leased lines; usually over the internet. Prior to the internet, computers in various offices, cities as well as countries could only talk to one another like people could – through telephone wires. Because needs with this kind of communication grew, telephone lines became substituted with higher volume wires, like T3 circuits, though the concept was precisely the same.
For computer A to talk to computer B, there would have to be a physical wire connection. For security reasons, you need to make sure that only your 2 computers used that line, and that means you would contract with a vendor to "lease" that circuit. However, this kind of network was expensive and hard to expand, let alone hard for the customer to have control of.
Together with the coming of the net, connections no longer would have to be physical. Providing each computer can access the net, information might be shared using local ISP circuits, over the internet, and also to the recipient in exactly the same way it had become in the event the computers were physically connected. For this reason just how VPN works is regarded as a "virtual" network; the whole connection just isn't hard-wired.
The areas of VPN explained in the following paragraphs so far haven't yet discussed a continuously present concern today – security. Within an old WAN arrangement, the protection of data transmission could rely entirely on the provider's guarantees. Today, however, a VPN keeps information private by way of encryption on the sending and receiving end. There are a selection of encryption protocols, based on that of a company's needs are, who they must contact (and therefore be appropriate for), etc. The information is not only encrypted, yet it's encapsulated, meaning it really is sent in its private "tunnel" or connection across the internet. No one can see the data, and in many cases if they could, they cannot decipher or change it. In this manner, information could be sent through the internet without having to be prone to interception or corruption by those people who are not in the VPN.

Wolves tame Tigers, defeat Natrona
August 30, 2017
Two contests at home proved the Green River High School tennis team has what it takes to be competitive, earning victories over Rock Springs and Natrona County last week.
Head tennis coach Phil Harder said he was pleased with how his team played Thursday and Friday, saying the young team has worked hard throughout the month. That hard work has paid dividends to the team.
"They're doing well, boys and girls both," Harder said.
Against Rock Springs, the only game the Wolves dropped was the girls singles match where Sasha Bentley defeated Haylen Cordova. Against Natrona, the Wolves won a major...

Avast, all ye sexists! Piracy has never been an exclusively male pursuit.
The latest production from Atlantic for Kids, the children's division of the Atlantic Theater Company, delivers this message gleefully. Titled — in the writers' one unfortunate choice — "The Pirate La Dee Da," it examines not just gender roles, but also income inequality, the nature of justice and the role of good government. That it manages to sail all its subplots comfortably into port in about 75 minutes attests to the talents of its creators, cast and crew (pirate and otherwise).
With a book by Gabrielle Allan and Jennifer Crittenden, and a score, lyrics and musical direction by Nate Weida, the show charts the transformation of the title character from royal bride-to-be to swashbuckling buccaneer. Princess La Dee Da, played with spunk to spare by Melissa Mahoney, would rather run off to sea than wed the prince her parents have chosen: Marlon (Justin Danforth), a wimp who'd never be confused with Brando.
La Dee Da's mystical nanny, Whiddy (Ben Langhorst), helps the princess, disguised as a boy, escape to a pirate ship. There she finds a surrogate dad, Captain Grizzlebeard (Kyle Hines); an envious potential nemesis, Nobeard (the hilarious Preston Martin); and a host of ethical dilemmas. Although she has no problem helping the starving pirates steal from her father's greedy regime, she balks at a plan to destroy her family home.
Happy or sad, pirates rock, of course, which allows Ms. Mahoney to evoke Joan Jett in one song, Bonnie Raitt in another. The ensemble numbers are rollicking, too, though the actors, playing instruments onstage, sometimes muffle the lyrics.
Directed with comic flair by Kristin Hanggi, the show abounds in surprises, and not just what's underneath some of the pirates' Day-Glo-colored beards. One funny bit depends on a child randomly selected from the audience; others involve shadow puppetry and a gargantuan sea monster (both cleverly designed by Edward T. Morris). And while some may object to La Dee Da's suddenly falling in love, no one could call her choice expected.
But perhaps the biggest surprise is the seriousness that underlies all the fun. This may be comedy for 5- to 10-year-olds, but it's comedy with a conscience. As La Dee Da proclaims at the end, "We are only as rich as our poorest child." Amen — or should I say aye, aye — to that.

When I was in middle school, I joined this group called sister hood. I don't know why I joined it but I did, and they had us recite this poem before each session….. I think it means more to me now than it did back in the seventh grade.
by Virginia Satir
Virginia came to write this poem when she was working with an angry fifteen-year-old girl
who had a lot of questions about herself and what life meant.
I am me.
In all the world, there is no one exactly like me.
There are persons who have some parts like me,
but no one adds up exactly like me.
Therefore, everything that comes out of me
is authentically mine because I alone choose it.
I own everything about me
including everything it does;
including all its thoughts and ideas;
including the images of all they behold;
whatever they may be…
and all the words that come out of it
sweet or rough,
correct or incorrect;
loud or soft.
And all my actions, whether they be to others or to myself.
I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears.
I own all my triumphs and successes,
all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By doing so I can love me and be friendly with me in all parts.
I can then make it possible for all of me to work in my best interests.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me,
and other aspects that I do not know.
But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself,
I can courageously and hopefully, look for solutions to the puzzles
and for ways to find out more about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think
and feel at a given moment in time is me.
This is authentic and represents where I am in that moment in time.
When I review later how I looked and sounded, what I said and did, and how I
thought and felt, some parts may turn out to be unfitting.
I can discard that which is unfitting, and keep that which proved fitting,
And invent something new for that which I discarded.
I can see, hear, feel, think, say and do.
I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive,
and to make sense and order out of the world of people
and things outside of me.
I own me, and therefore I can engineer me.

EBC is an acronym for "European Brewery Convention" and is a measure of the beer's color. A lower value indicates a lighter beer and a higher value for darker beers. A really light American lager beer might have EBC 4 while a typical Irish stout has EBC 130
FG stands for Final Gravity and is a measure of the finished beer's density compared to water. FG is used together with OG to calculate the alcohol content.
OG stands for Original Gravity and is the wort's density compared to water before fermentation. It can be translated as the sugar content of the wort and is used to calculate the alcohol content.
International Bitterness Units: Is a measure of the beer's bitterness. Most beers are in the 10-110 IBU range, where 10 is a low bitterness and 110 extremely high bitterness. Beers with similar IBU may although taste more or less bitter depending on different alcohol levels or higher residual sweetness wich reduces the perception of bitterness. A bright, low alcoholic beer with IBU 25 can be perceived as more bitter than a dark strong beer with IBU 50. We send our beer for analysis to get a correct IBU-value. Therefore, our values seem low compared to those who only have a theoretical value of their products. Formulas for the IBU has a tendency to grossly overestimate the value. A clear example of this is Thurbo DIPA who has a calculated value of about 150, but measures as 74.
Malt is the main extract giver to the beer, accounts for the sugar that the yeast will break down into alcohol. But malt also contributes with mouth feel, color and gives flavor to the beer.
Alcohol by volume is the official measure of alcohol content in Sweden. We only measure the alcohol content indirectly by the density of the wort before fermentation (OG ) minus the density of the beer after fermentation (FG). That value is then inserted into a formula that gives the alcoholic strength by volume.
Cones from the plant Humulus lupulus which in modern times is the main spice in beer. It adds bitterness, flavor and contributes to the beer's shelf life with its anti-bacterial properties.
Gluten is the protein found in the grains; wheat, rye and barley. Gluten intolerance (celiac disease) is an inflammatory bowel disease in which the sufferer must avoid gluten. Sufferers of Celiac disease must adher to a gluten-free diet for life. Rules for labeling products as "gluten-free" or "very low gluten" is stipulated in EU Regulation (EC) No 41/2009. The limits for products labeled "gluten-free" and "very low gluten " are 20 mg respectively 100 mg gluten / liter.

One of the most notable things about Hyderabad is its weather. The sun is never harsh except during summer months; rest of the months, the city offers a cool breeze. Hyderabad has natural spaces amidst the bustling city that makes for amazing music spots, also the hide and seek game of the sun makes the open air spaces spectacular. As, anything related to music or art has the potential to become extraordinary given the right surroundings, we thought of revealing seven most happening venues in the city which are worth the mention. These venues organise music events and live gigs throughout the year. Read on.
Heart Cup Coffee
The small open-air yard stands testament to some of the most prolific electronic music performances. Sunday evenings get groovy with electronic music while weekdays are mellower. It has two branches, one is in Begumpet and another one is in Jubilee Hills. The Jubilee Hills branch is right in the middle of the city, and has a crowd be it a weekday or a weekend. From live rock and roll bands to cover bands to live electronic music to DJ sets across genres, this two-floor venue is definitely popular in the city of pearls.
This space has been newly renovated and the spin seems to be working pretty well. They curate a monthly dub, drum n bass night which is all the rage nowadays. With the space for live jazz or fusion music to take the centre stage, there's some space for the dancing crowd too. Good thing is it has reasonably priced beer, a bar behind, and a cosy open terrace to take a moment to reflect on the amazing music indoors. FuBar is definitely scoring impressive points for a recently renovated place.
Tabula Rasa
The lighting and the bamboo plants that usher you into this venue are enough to get a whiff of what might be waiting for you. As quirky as the décor looks, the music space is equally experimental. With a medium sized bar that takes space right in the middle with dinner tables in the corners and some audience space upfront, the ambiance is just right for someone performing. It's comfortable and easy going.
Stone Waters
This is a mostly a cover band kind of a venue but what makes it interesting is the view from the terrace where the venue is located. You can pretty much see the whole city and the performers get an even better view because it's on a way higher platform. The terrace is also designed with a lot of plants which makes you feel like you could be in any city, really.
Beats Per Minute
This is a sprawling area of trees and shrubbery with a huge space in the middle, dotted with bars and mini bards on the side-lines and an elevated stage for musicians specifically built for dance music events. It was one of the most awaited venues before it opened and it was well worth the wait because being able to watch the stars in the night while dancing to music is one of the best experiences music lovers could ask for.
Block 22
This is a proper nightclub but has one of the best sound designs and equipment to make it the best experience for dance music lovers and dance music players. The world-class design makes this space matchless. DJs and producers who perform here from all over the world love the sonics.
Olive Bistro
This is a popular junction in Jubilee Hills. This place is not only known for their aesthetically designed outdoors but also their cuisine, and as a result, it attracts foodies and music aficionados. The ambiance is kickass and from disco music to live performances to private parties, Olive Bistro is one of the most happening places in the city.

The selfie saw the 21-year-old stood in front of a mirror, with what appeared to be a rolled-up bank note, a credit card and a white powder in front of her.
Amber then took to Twitter to issue a statement on the matter, writing: "I was completely naive to what was lying on the table in front of me.
"I don't know for sure what it was, but I do know what it looks like, and I am devastated. I have never and would never take drugs, or knowingly be around people who do. That is not who I am."
But Love Island alumna Jessica Shears has issued a warning that former dancer needed to "smarten up" now she's in the public eye.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Online at the In the Style Totes Over It Valentine's Day bash, 24-year-old Jess explained: "I wouldn't have said it was the smartest move, but everyone makes mistakes and I get that, but there's a lesson to be learned and its to be more vigilant.
"You need to smarten up. You've got to be smart, especially when you're in the public eye."
Jess, who is now loved-up and currently planning her wedding to her very own Love Island beau Dom Levers, said she has cut back on the wild nights since being engaged.
She added: "All we do is sit at home with our dogs! There's nothing suspicious about what we do.
"We're really open and we're really straight-laced. So for me a wild night is a bottle of wine."
Fiancè Dom added: "I'm 27 so I feel like I'm nearly over the hill [compared to the other Love Island stars]. These are enjoying it and I feel like I've done that now.
"Honestly, it's one of those things - if you're in that situation, I don't care who you are, you know what everyone around you is doing.
"Personally, I wouldn't put myself in that situation. And I wouldn't want anyone taking pictures and I wouldn't let anyone take a picture of myself.
"It's just being smart with what you do and who you hang around with. It's her mistake and I do feel bad for her as it's come down on her like a tonne of bricks."
Jess also defended fellow Love Island cast member Olivia Attwood, with her pal in the villa being blasted by critics for "faking" get relationship with Chris Hughes.
"Olivia is far too honest to be fake about anything," she explained. "If she thinks something, she'll say it. I don't know how people can call her fake."

Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) may adopt a preventive vigilance tool developed by a faculty of Indian Institute of Management, Indore (IIM-I) to help check the level of corruption in any organization. CVC demanded a detailed technical presentation of Corruption Vulnerability Index later this year.This is the first time such an organizational level preventive tool is being developed.
This tool was made by J Vinayan, fellow programme in management (FPM) scholar of IIM Indore. A thesis on 'Corruption Vulnerability of Organizations' by central vigilance commissioner K V Chowdary helped Vinayan to develop this tool.
"The doctoral thesis involved the development of an organizational level tool which can predict corruption vulnerability in organizations. CVI can be used to grade organizations and compare them with each other in similar manner as Corruption Perception Index of Amnesty International or Control of Corruption Index of World Bank ," said Vinayan.
Vinayan is pursuing thesis under the guidance of Professor Ranjeet Nambudiri, Professor Sushanta K Mishra and Professor Nobin Thomas of IIM Indore with additional guidance from Professor K Praveen Parboteeah, Director, College of Business and Economics, University of Wisconsin-White Water, WI, USA.
Pursuing doctoral from IIM-I since 2013, Vinayan made a presentation before the vigilance officers following which officers sought for a technical presentation of the tool.

text: \n<p> VATICAN CITY — A trip by Pope Francis to North Korea is "a dream that can be realized" and would be a gigantic step towards peace on the Korean peninsula, a senior South Korean bishop said on Thursday.<\/p><p> The bishop, Lazarus You Heung-sik of Daejeon, spoke ahead of a meeting next week in the Vatican between Francis and South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who will be carrying an invitation from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to visit Pyongyang.<\/p><p> "If the pope goes there, it will be a gigantic step, a qualitative step for the Korean peninsula, for its pacification," said You, who was in Rome for a meeting of bishops from around the world known as a synod.<\/p><p> "North Korea could enter the world community as a normal country. I know how much the pope, on various occasions, has called for pacification on the Korean peninsula," You told a news conference.<\/p><p> Kim told Moon of his wish to meet the pope during a meeting last month, South Korea's presidential office said on Tuesday. The pope is expected to visit Japan next year.<\/p><p> Moon, who will be on a tour of Europe, will meet the pope on Oct. 18. The day before, Moon will attend a special "Mass for Peace" on the Korean peninsula in St. Peter's Basilica.<\/p><p> "I think the pope will now listen to my president about the situation," the bishop told reporters on the sidelines of the news conference.<\/p><p> <strong>'No priests' in North Korea<\/strong><\/p><p> You, who said he has entered North Korea on humanitarian visits, said there were no priests there and the country needed religious freedom.<\/p><p> "I am not talking about conditions [for the visit]. But before you do something you have to do the groundwork. When the groundwork is done, the pope can go," he said.<\/p><p> North Korea's constitution guarantees freedom of religion as long as it does not undermine the state. But beyond a handful of state-controlled places of worship, no open religious activity is allowed.<\/p><p> North Korea, which Church officials estimated had a Catholic community of about 55,000 just before the 1950-53 Korean War, does not allow priests to be permanently stationed in the country.<\/p><p> Information about how many Catholics are still in North Korea is scarce. Religious agencies have said they number in the few hundreds to about 4,000.<\/p><p> "A seed grows," the bishop said about a possible papal visit to the north. "We need to pray and we will see what God wants. I am convinced that when that day comes it will be a dream that can be realized."<\/p><p> The two Koreas have held three summits this year. Kim held an unprecedented summit with US President Donald Trump in Singapore in June, and pledged to work toward denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.<\/p><p> "Last year, everybody was talking about war in the North. This year the situation has changed 180 degrees...I think that North Korea is ready to open up, renounce nuclear weapons and build a new country," he said. <strong>—<a href="http:\/\/www.gmanetwork.com\/news\/archives\/sources\/reuters"> Reuters<\/a><\/strong><\/p>

Nearly two years ago, we invested in an expensive Blendtec blender. We love it and use it almost every day. It was pretty expensive, but came with a 7 year warranty, so we thought it would last long enough to offset the high price.
A week or so ago while we were making smoothies, it started to make a funny sound like the motor was struggling. We took off the pitcher, and noticed the rubber seal was hot with black rubber flakes under the pitcher.
I went online to Blendtec and found an email address to notify them of warranty issues. It said someone would get back to me. I waited several days with no response, so I found an 800 for service.
I called this number many times, but I kept being put on for long periods of time each time I called. I was getting worried that our "7 year warranty" wasn't going to be worth anything.
My next step was to go to Blendtec's Facebook page. I made a comment about the problem and not being able to reach anyone at their customer service department. I found a few other places to leave negative comments on FB regarding the Blendtec blender.
Shortly after I commented on their Facebook page, I got an -mail on a Sunday, stating someone would call me the next day. I got the call as promised and she determined I needed a new pitcher. It was delivered on Wednesday at no charge to me.
Apparently, they are aware of the problems they are having on their phone lines. They apologized for the inconvenience and handled my problem efficiently, once I actually got a live person to speak to.
The power of the internet saved the day again! One negative comment can cost a company some business and they know it.
So, we're sitting in Tampa with hot and humid weather. Our friends Ralph and Terry are at one of our Rv sites in Blairsville, GA and it was 55 degrees yesterday morning! Oh how jealous we are. This morning, the when I checked their temperature, it was 52. Oh how nice that sounds!!
We were so surprised last year at how much cooler it was in Blairsville than here in Florida. We're SOOOOO anxious to get back there.
We're hoping we will be able to leave Florida soon, but Al has been having headaches again for the past several days. The last time this happened was after he hit his head and it turned out he had a subdural hematoma. A CT scan was done and the hematoma appeared to be shrinking, so we thought he was okay. Now, when he has headaches, we get a little worried. He has not hit his head again (yet). Is it just a normal headache or should we be worried. He doesn't often get headaches, so it's a bit of a concern. I guess we'll see how it goes this week-end and take him to the doctor Monday if he's not better. Thay may just delay our trip north.
We had a pretty laid back Independence Day here at Quail Run Rv Park. It was hot and sticky and we got occasional short lived rain showers off and on during the day.
The campground had a cookout from 4 –6pm. Of course late afternoon is normally when we get the afternoon thunderstorms, and yesterday didn't disappoint. We had our "picnic" inside.
When we got home we watched the movie, Lone Survivor. It was a great movie and the perfect one for the 4th of July. Very patriotic. Often when I see a good movie based on a true story, it makes me want to read the book, and this was no exception, so I ordered the Kindle 3-book this morning. How nice is it that with one click, and $7.99, I can have it instantaneously delivered to my laptop, Al's netbook and my phone? We don't pay money for many books, but I felt this was worth it.
We decided not to go watch fireworks last night, but as it turned out we had a great view of some nice ones right outside our living room window.
Our site has been pretty active with wildlife this morning.
While drinking coffee this morning, Al happened to notice a baby bluebird that evidently just fledged. He was in the tree right beside the motor home. His parents are feeding him.
A little while later 3 Sand hill Cranes were in the yard eating the spilled birdseed from the feeder. Before I could get out with the camera they had gone down by the water.
Everything is pretty green with all the rain. This is our back yard view. For some reason the guys that mow the grass here, have left an unmowed strip the past 2-3 times they have mowed. It's starting to look like those wildflower areas you see along the interstates.
Ms. Cardinal was enjoying the birdfeeder.
And last, but certainly not least. Baxter enjoying the sun in the front window.
We have been getting some responses regarding renting out our Rv lots. The Blairsville lots are paying for themselves, so that's good.
Now if we could get the Keys lot to pay for itself in the summer and fall months, we'd be happy. We got an inquiry of someone wanting it from December through possibly April. We would sure love to have rented it for that period as it would have more than covered our annual HOA fees and taxes, however, we also want to be there at least from February on. We figure we would rent it through January and stay here in Tampa until February. We would like to stay there longer next year because the water started getting nice and warm in May. We were hoping to rent it this summer for lobster season, but so far no luck there.

The wonders of the blogosphere
Some … wait, no. A LOT of my inspiration for this blog comes simply from reading the blogs of others. Sometimes I find things I want to comment on that make a full post. Other things just speak for themselves.
Like, for instance, my friend the Buffalo Philosopher, posted this link in his blog a few weeks ago. Republicans fighting for (real) freedom and checks and balances. Wow – even the righties are getting sick of the current crap being perpetuated by the current administration.
Of course, it doesn't help that this is what we call the news these days. Satirical, yes. Really, scarily true? Also yes (Thanks to Sam for that one.
The mod over at Academia as an Extreme Sport emailed me the true story of a Citiot transplant – which goes hand in hand with The Drum Major Institute's question about whether Is New York City Still a Middle Class Town? (If you ask me, no, it is not.)
Finally, I'll point to two of my favorite up-and-coming female bloggers, Liz Funk and Casey McNulty. In this entry, Liz talks about the merits (or lack thereof) of the "Man's" version of Valentine's Day, 28 days later on March 14. In this entry, Casey talks about the underlying themes in Disney movies that encourage women to continue to treat themselves as second class citizens. She's got a point – can you think of a Disney movie that DOESN'T suggest that a Princess's life is better because she nails her Prince Charming? How … liberating.
So, for those of you who wonder why I post incessantly for a few days, and then not for a few more, my brain is still churning. It's just that sometimes I don't have a lot to say. Sometimes, these things just speak for themselves.
On a final note, for this, there are no words.

Johnny Depp appeared on the sofa on last night's The Graham Norton Show and caused quite the furore on social media.
Advertising his latest film, Agatha Christie drama Murder On The Orient Express, Depp appeared on the chat show alongside his co-stars Judi Dench, Kenneth Branagh and Josh Gad.
You can watch the trailer for the film here:
[ooyala code="NlN245ZDE6tYWuE8EaaDjDtywjX4L661″ player_id="5df2ff5a35d24237905833bd032cd5d8″ auto="true" width="1280″ height="720″ pcode="twa2oyOnjiGwU8-cvdRQbrVTiR2l"]
People weren't angry about anything in particular Depp said on the show, it was more his appearance alone which left many taking to social media to complain.
In the current climate, as more and more victims of abuse are coming out with their stories about Hollywood, Depp's appearance felt both inappropriate and disturbing.
Viewers felt there were double standards at play and his appearance could be distressing for others.
Last year, the actor's ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, was granted a restraining order against Depp after stating in her court declaration, 'during the entirety of [their] relationship, Johnny has been verbally and physically abusive to [her]'.
Heard claimed the last violent incident took place on May 21, only two days before she filed for divorce and provided the court with two witness accounts and photographs of her battered face as evidence.
Depp denied the claims and instead his lawyers said Heard was attempting 'to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse'.
In the end a settlement was reached on August 16 which saw Heard receive $7 million and dismiss the restraining order against Depp.
The two then released a joint statement which said their 'relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love.'
They also added 'neither party has made false accusations for financial gain' and 'there was never any intent of physical or emotional harm'.
Because of Depp's history with domestic abuse allegations, many found his appearance on The Graham Norton Show to be unsuitable, especially after the host called out Kevin Spacey in his opening monologue.
After allegations of unwanted sexual advances by Spacey against young teen actor Anthony Rapp were made, Netflix pulled the plug on their hit show House of Cards.
One Twitter user said:
Watching Graham Norton and he's opened by talking about all the sleazes that have been called out this week but Johnny Depp is on the sofa…

Another boycotted the show adding:
Why have Depp on the show Graham? Especially in this climate. He beat Heather, did you see the bruises? Can't watch the show tonight.

Another user was also left disgusted at the show's choice of guest saying:
In a period when we're aghast at stories of abuse in Hollywood, why indulge a wife beater like Johnny Depp on the Graham Norton show?

Johnny Depp is absolutely vile. #GrahamNorton

Media/Hollywood say things will change for the better after Weinstein but Johnny Depp was on Graham Norton tonight so I won't hold my breath

Even though Depp was never found guilty, admittedly his appearance on the show was probably bad timing.

Smithville tops Pleasant Hill
By Joe Caronia PrepsKC Staff Writer
Smithville opened its season with an impressive 33-15 victory over the Pleasant Hill Roosters. The game was delayed 45 minutes due to weather. Roosters' head coach Greg Smith said of the delay, "The kids were focused and ready to go and we had to shut them down."
The Warriors had the first two scores of the game. Hugh Beck had 3-yard touchdown run up the middle. That was followed by a 7-yard strike on 4th and goal from Kellen Simoncic to Garrett Thompson. Ben Keesee was good on one of the PAT's and the Warriors were up 13-0.
The Roosters cut into the lead when Cody Faust returned an interception 24 yards for a pick 6. Game Hodge converted the kick bringing the score to 13-7.
The Warriors struck again as Issac Miller out ran the defense for a 35-yard score and with the Keesee kick being good the Warriors held a 20-7 lead.
Beck found the end zone again from 4 yards out. The conversion was good and Warriors were up 27-7.
The Roosters tightened things up when Faust to a direct snap and scored on a 4-yard run. Faust also took the snap and converted the 2-point conversion.
In the fourth quarter the Roosters, held the Warriors on downs to get the ball back. The drove to the Warriors 251yard line and fumbled. The Warriors took over at 7:02 of the fourth quarter and held the ball until Brian Boyd scored on a 9-yard run, with 1:48 left in the game. Keesee had the final point of the game.
Simoncic talked about the final drive.
"We wanted to hold the ball for the whole seven minutes" Simoncic said. "But we took a shot on the Go Ball and he, (Thompson), made a great catch. The line did a great job and we were able to score."
After the game Warriors head coach Jason Ambroson was pleased with all phases of his teams play starting with the clinching drive.
We want to be physical, go to the line of scrimmage, and snap the ball, control the line of scrimmage late in the ball game," Ambroson said. "The kids take what you do and be successful. It's all the kids. Defensively, I was happy with our effort but upset with the penalties. But that's good if you can make mistakes and overcome them and learn from them, that makes for a lot of room for growth from our football team."
Bryan Boyd who came off the bench to score the last touchdown, smiled proudly and said, "It felt pretty nice getting in the end zone for the first time in a varsity game."
The Warriors will travel to take on the Winnetonka Griffins next week.
Pleasant Hill will also be on the road against Moberly.

Watching the Royal Wedding on Friday I heard many beautiful sounds, one of which was…
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.
Exultemus, et in ipso iucundemur.
Temeamus, et amemus Deum vivum.
Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero.
Where charity and love are, there God is.
The love of Christ has gathered us into one flock.
Let us exult, and in Him be joyful.
Let us fear and let us love the living God.
And from a sincere heart let us love each other (and Him).
The further two verses of this divine choral piece can be found here.

If you're a fan of carbon fibre than you'll be a fan of what's apparently a press render of the Droid Ultra, a phone that's rumoured to be Motorola's 5-inched screen handset. The images unsurprisingly were leaked by no other than @evleaks – of course!
The images are certainly pretty, if you're into that. The images show what appear to be a large 5-inch screen as well as three capacitive buttons along the bottom. In terms of specs, well they've apparently leaked too. The Motorola Droid Ultra is rumoured to have a Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor on board complete with 2GB of RAM. We've also got a large 10 megapixel camera with what's rumoured to be a brand new RGBC sensor which is said to improve picture quality in various different lighting situations.
The press image also has Verizon branding which (if the images are legitimate) means that we can expect the Droid Ultra to be available from Big Red!
As usual these images haven't been confirmed and could be fake, so as always grab your salt shaker. @evleaks hasn't been wrong with the past few leaks, so here's hoping!

After the recent withdrawals of Audi and Porsche from the LMP1 class of Le Mans, along with Peugeot's departure in 2012, Toyota is the only manufacturer competing in the top tier of the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. With the field clear, you would think Toyota could simply cruise to victory.
But victory is far from assured for a team whose Le Mans history has been littered with near misses and odd mishaps. Having only itself to beat could be difficult enough.
"This year, we just go to fight Le Mans, not directly our competitors," Pascal Vasselon, Toyota's technical director, said. "That's our challenge."
Porsche dominated the race for years, but its announcement in 2017 that it would drop out and concentrate on Formula E caused something of a crisis in the World Endurance Championship, for which Le Mans is the signature event. Jean Todt, president of the International Automobile Federation (known by its French abbreviation, F.I.A.), said in May that the championship was "in an emergency situation."
"Being in an emergency situation means we have to find some innovative solutions to prepare for the future, and that's where we are," he said.
Included in those innovations is a new approach to the calendar.
The W.E.C. has changed its calendar-year season to one that will be held over two years, with Le Mans running twice. The racing series is calling it a "super season," which will be from April 2018 to June 2019. Le Mans will be held at the start and again at the end of the season, which will give Toyota two chances to win.
As the only remaining factory-backed team in the LMP1 category, Toyota has every advantage over the independent teams known as privateers. Toyota has the backing of a huge automotive research and development center, a budget in the hundreds of millions of dollars and strong driver lineups in the two cars it is racing.
But the team also has the Toyota Le Mans curse to contend with.
Toyota's recent history at the 24-hour race is a series of near misses. The team has finished second in the LMP1 class at Le Mans five times, but has never won.
Failure within reach of the finish line has become common for Toyota at the Circuit de la Sarthe, where the race is held. The gear linkage broke in the final 90 minutes in 1994. The car, a 94CV, was repaired in the pits, and the team finished second. In 1999, the GT-One was fighting for the lead when a tire blew.
Other high-profile failures included sump plug problems and a loss of gearbox oil in 1998, and a faulty sensor in 2014. In 2010, Toyota was clearly the fastest team on the track, but none of its three cars made it to the finish.
But no loss was more striking than the one in 2016, when the race leader, the last TS050 Hybrid on the track, lost power as it was crossing the finish line to begin its final lap. A fractured air line cost Toyota almost certain victory.
By 2017, Toyota's only competition in the LMP1 category was Porsche. Toyota went all out to win the category, entering three cars, each with a Japanese driver on the three-person crew.
The race got off to a good start when Toyota set a new lap record in qualifying, its cars lining up first, second and fifth on the grid. After 154 laps, one car was out with clutch failure. Six laps later, the second fell because of a puncture from collision damage.
The final Toyota completed the race, but an early repair stop left it nine laps behind Porsche, the winner.
This year, in an attempt to outwit the so-called curse, Toyota has taken a somewhat unorthodox approach to its preseason preparations. It is conducting drills to practice the unexpected.
"We decide the radio fails, and we see how the driver and the team react," said Vasselon, the team technical director. "We cause fake problems.
"We spent a lot more time dealing with unplanned situations, unplanned repairs, unplanned problems. We really took time for the team to put them in situations that are not normal, because this is where we failed. For example, we say we have suddenly broken the rear-right drive shaft."
"We have failed on problems that were unusual," he added. "The team has not handled perfectly these situations. Some of them were difficult to handle, but you can always do better."
Joining Toyota this year is Fernando Alonso, who has won two Formula One championships. He will continue driving for the McLaren Formula One team, but will also drive a full W.E.C. season for Toyota.
Alonso has made no secret of his ambition to win Le Mans and the Indianapolis 500, which would, with his previous wins at the Monaco Grand Prix, make him only the second driver to win the triple crown of motorsport.
Alonso will be sharing the No. 8 car with the Swiss racer Sébastien Buemi, an ex-Formula One driver who was on the W.E.C. championship team in 2014 and won the Formula E championship in the 2015-16 season, and Kazuki Nakajima, who raced for the Toyota-powered Williams team in Formula One from 2007 to 2009.
In the No. 7 car, Toyota's other entry, the drivers will be Kamui Kobayashi, previously a Toyota driver in Formula One; Mike Conway, a British IndyCar driver; and José Maria López of Argentina, who has won the World Touring Car Championship three times.
On paper, Toyota's Le Mans success seems a given. The TS050 Hybrid will be the only hybrid on the track, and the team is sharing the category with a number of privately funded ventures.
Toyota has been using the TS050 Hybrid since 2016. In contrast, Rebellion Racing, CEFC TRSM Racing, DragonSpeed and SMP Racing, all privateers, are running new cars this year.
At the season-opening round in May, a six-hour race at the Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, Toyota had a clear advantage. Its two cars finished first and second, crossing the finish line two laps ahead of the fastest privateer.
So Le Mans is looking good for the team, but it has also looked promising in the past. This year, Toyota's fight will be with the curse, but to finish first, first you have to finish.
