Well here in BRUM it's just after midnight 0004 sunday morning
I am not fully awake yet, had to go to bed early after TV "Who wants to be a Millionaire," but I suffer from broken sleep - part of the fun of the aging process so it is easier to get up and do something, like put the soup on for its daily boil - which keeps the stock pot hygenic and the soup sterile.
The same soup which was blogged a few days ago . .since then I have added 500 grams of liver and 500 grams of mixed minced beef and pork, and today half a cooked chicken, an onion and a carrot and a third of a cabbage - all gut up in bite size pieces. A pint of water to replace what has been eaten - or evaporated.

My mother's recipe for a basic stock is a carrot and oion and some meat bones.

Then you fine tune it with herbs, these days spices too, or curry or balti powder, or a couple of cheap cans of tomatoes with italian style seasoning.

Endless . . in principle I keep it on the go from now to the spring next year.

Sometimes I serve it with rice in a freezer bag:-
one measure finest rice, herbs or seasoning to tasete, about one and half measures of water, float in in the soup and static pressure keeps it seperate.

Good morning readers !!!

jorn barger's page is the equivalent of the features pages of my daily news, and is what I see when I start my browser

MORE DAMNED LIES

An attack on AOL this time

DEAREST READERS DO IGNORE AND DELETE THIS IF IN YOUR OWN MAIL BOX


get a good firewall and use it constantly

Subj: Power On/Firewall - (Reference: CBUK10610361 - 01217700288)  Date: 20/09/2003 08:01:46 GMT Standard Time From: ukdsl1@aol.com To: bloggery36@aol.com Sent from the Internet (Details

Dear member

Our service provider (BT) have informed us that they require your
computer
to be powered on, with the DSL modem connected to the line through a

BroadBand filter.  They have also requested that you disable
any firewall
you may have on your computer temporarily until further notice.
This is
so they may test your ADSL circuit. Please reply to this mail ASAP to

confirm that this is the case.

Kindest Regards,

AOL Broadband Team

Connection Tip...

How many telephone outlets do you have? Have you got more BT socket
points than filters?

If you have more than 2 phone sockets in your home/building, you need
to be aware that for BroadBand to work: -

- All phone sockets in use (with a peripheral such as a phone or fax
plugged into it) MUST have its own dedicated filter.

- If you have more phone sockets than filters (2 filters supplied in
each AOL BroadBand pack), then they must leave some sockets empty until

you get more filters.Additional filters are available to buy at KW: BroadBandExtras.

- BroadBand will NOT work if you have a peripheral (phone, fax) plugged
into another phone socket on the same line in the house, without a
filter also being plugged into that same socket.

If you do the above you are falling for a classic hack called human engineering


Google Search: "human engineering" hacking: "Perhaps not surprisingly, the bulk of reported frauds involve 'human engineering':
providing fake information "

I AM REALLY ANGRY WITH THE IDIOTS WHO WROTE THIS VIRUS AND DIGUISED IT AS AN EMAIL FROM MS,

experienced users know that all these emails are fake - but a lot of ordinary people have been caught out by this.

I have roughly copied and edited the h t ml

I was at Birmingham International station and saw the enormous cloud of smoke from behind NEC - never went to the museum, too late now.

Motorcycle Museum Fire - Most Of The Damaged Bikes Can be Saved - 24 Hour Museum: "While it appears that around 600 motorcycles from the museum's 900-strong collection have been damaged, Ken explained that only around 70 of them have been lost forever. The rest are salvageable and will be able to undergo a very long period of restoration."


"Assistant Divisional Officer of the West Midlands Fire Service, Dave Glenis confirmed that a cigarette, discarded near a pile of old air conditioning filters at the side of the museum was the likely cause of it.

'It burned through the eaves and then got through the roof space and it was only when it had taken quite a strong hold that it was discovered.' he said

Adding that traffic problems and the lack of a nearby water supply all hampered the rescue attempt, Dave said that although the exhibition halls had burned very quickly he didn't believe the motorcycles were carrying any petrol.

'If you imagine a motorbike with the foam on the seat, the rubber tyres and all the fixtures and fittings, once they start they burn freely and of course it's a museum with lots of open space and lots of people, so there's a lot of oxygen.'"


IOL : Hundreds of rare bikes lost in museum fire: "Fire swept through three of five exhibit halls in Britain's National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham. So fierce was the blaze that, despite 120 fire-fighters being on the scene, more than 400 rare, classic or just plain unique British motorcycles - most of them irreplaceable - were damaged or destroyed"

ic Birmingham - Museum fire causes misery for brides: "Birmingham brides were today hastily making alternative arrangements after the National Motorcycle Museum blaze ruined their plans for weekend weddings."



"Owner Roy Richards opened the museum in 1984 and it has since attracted some 250,000 visitors a year and grown to become one of the biggest motorcycle museums in the world, incorporating 15 reception suites."


Isle of Man Online: "The museum was opened by TT legend Geoff Duke in 1984 and his trophies were housed in cabinets in the reception area. They were hauled to safety by staff who smashed the glass to rescue them.

The six-times TT winner and six-times world champion said: 'It's a great relief. They are very precious and obviously they couldn't have been replaced so, although the actual fire is an absolute tragedy, it's nice to hear the trophies are safe.'

Mr Duke's relief is perhaps greater than most because many of his trophies and memorabilia were destroyed in another fire on the Snugborough Trading Estate in the early 1990s, when he'd stored his possessions while selling his home. Those at the museum are his only remaining trophies."


Sometimes our possessions own us.

Hurricane Rages North to the Nation's Capital:

"Even before nightfall, visibility was no more than 100 yards, but people in pickups and even on foot kept venturing out to look at the beach road, Highway 12, which was a maelstrom of stinging sand and spray, flying two-by-fours and paint buckets, and hidden obstacles of nail-bearing roof and deck debris.

But a few thousand hardy - or foolhardy - souls ignored evacuation orders. Virginia Beach police suggested they write their names in permanent marker on their forearms so they could be identified if they are injured or killed.

At Howard's Pub on the Outer Banks' isolated Ocracoke Island, bartender James Tucker said he and five other employees resolved early today to 'hang out and drink beer until the cable runs out.'


A hurricane warning remained in effect from Cape Fear in southern North Carolina to the Virginia-Maryland line. A tropical storm warning extended northward to New York's Long Island, including parts of New York City.
At 3 p.m. EDT (1 p.m. Colorado time), Isabel was centered about 50 miles east-southeast of Greenville, N.C., the hurricane center said. It had picked up speed, moving northwest at around 20 mph. Isolated tornadoes were possible in eastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia." much snipped

Amnesty International - Campaigns - Israel and the Occupied Territories: An ongoing human rights crisis: "The human rights situation in Israel and the Occupied Territories continues to deteriorate. In the past three years the Israeli army has killed more than 2,200 Palestinians and some 800 Israelis have been killed by Palestinian armed groups. Most of the victims were civilians and included more than 380 Palestinian children and some 100 Israeli children. The Israeli army has assassinated more than 100 known or suspected Palestinians militants, killing scores of men, women and children bystanders and injuring hundreds others."

I started off being pro Israel but now they have forfeited my support.
We have lived with IRA terrorism (which is the aftermath of colonialisation) in the UK for genearations and found out that revenge is no answer.


Even the VIKINGS knew better than the Israellis and the Palestimians.

Revenge was forbidden and compensation had to be paid for wrongs like murder.

breakfast over - wrote it on the back of my wrist

YES I HAD THIS IN THE ARMY AS "BARBER'S RASH" back in 1957


"In general, all streptococci are sensitive to simple penicillin. There has been increasing penicillin resistance in pneumococci, but penicillin remains the drug of choice even in localised pneumococcal skin infections.
Many staphylococci are no longer sensitive to simple penicillin due to the bacteria producing an enzyme that inactivates it, called penicillinase (also known as beta lactamase). Penicillin antibiotics with penicillinase resistance include flucloxacillin an amoxicillin with clavulanic acid (amoxiclav). The latter is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is best reserved for mixed bacterial infections. Some antibiotics are resistant to flucloxacillin as well (MRSA). "

"Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus
MRSA is the term used for bacteria of the Staphylococcus aureus group (S. aureus) that are resistant to the usual antibiotics used in the treatment of infections with such organisms. Traditionally MRSA stood for methicillin resistance but the term increasingly refers to a multi-drug resistant group. Such bacteria often have resistance to many antibiotics traditionally used against S.aureus.
This resistance to methicillin is due to the presence of the mec gene in the bacteria. This alters the site at which methicillin binds to kill the organism. Hence, methicillin is not able to effectively bind to the bacteria.
Infections caused by MRSA are the same as other staphylococcal infections because the organism itself is not any more virulent (or infectious) than usual type S.aureus.
Like other S.aureus, MRSA can colonise the skin and body of an individual without causing sickness, and in this way it can be passed on to other individuals unknowingly. Problems arise in the treatment of overt infections with MRSA because antibiotic choice is very limited. "

New Zealand DermNet information about the skin: "Where is MRSA found?
MRSA is found worldwide, predominantly in hospitals and institutions such as nursing homes. Much less commonly, MRSA is found in the general community. There are three main reservoirs (and hence sources of spread and infection) for MRSA in hospital and institutions: staff, patients and inanimate objects such as beds, linen and utensils. By far the most important reservoir is patients who may be colonised with MRSA without evidence of infection. The usual sites of colonisation with MRSA are the nostrils, skin, groin, axilla, and wounds. "

Been blogging for about one and a half hours

I woke up all too early and took a antebiotic pill, I'm due to visit Solhihull hospital to have a small abscess cut out on the 24th, and wént to my doctor, on whose surgery wall he has hung a picture of his daughter doing equestrían gymnastics . . .. did not work in Google

A Horse of Course by Don Blazer - Equiworld - Equestrian Information on the internet: "Vaulting could be described as the art of gymnastics on a moving horse"

not her

but a good job there is a doctor in the house

Valley Farm: Vaulting: "Otherwise known as gymnastics on horseback, vaulting was a popular sport in Roman times and is probably mostly recognised now in the circus ring as bareback riding. Out of the circus ring this has become a highly competitive sport."

Any way he was running late so no time for gossip, just grab the prescriptions and run.

my answer is to give that URL the weather station is about 2 miles from here B37

State to recommend replacement for oldest of three planes | theledger.com: "In the past year, Bush was in New York when flames shot from an engine while the plane was still on the runway. The engine then shut down, forcing Bush to take another plane back to Florida.

Weeks later, while flying to Orlando, lightning struck the state plane Bush was traveling in, puncturing a wing. The plane landed safely"


no no no JEB's old plane

"Then, on a trip to Washington D.C., his plane lost radio communication and military jets were sent to intercept it. Bush staff on the plane received an e-mail asking it to respond in code to determine whether the plane was hijacked. They did, and it was escorted to a safe landing in Washington.

While Bush jokes about the incidents, his staff is more serious when talking about the planes' safety.

'If you had a car that was over 25 years old and you kept having to replace parts, you'd eventually realize you had to replace the car,' said Bush spokeswoman Alia Faraj. 'If your old car breaks down, you can pull over to the side of the road. With these planes you can't really do that.'"

The cliche is slighly bent ALL planes have this problem, why does he say: - "with these planes"?

As a former private pilot and gliding instructor I am fully aware of that.
The main difference between gilding and power flying is that
gliders fly because of the weather but power planes fly inspite of the weather.

Only a fool would take off in the middle of a thunderstorm, there are also very treacherous up and down currents in the air around thunder cloud cells and wind can suddenly shift direction , even during take off, even making take off impossible so you crash the boundary fence first.

The problem for a pilot of not really being captain of his ship, because of generals or politicians as passengers being senior to him can fire him, because they are not prepared to wait for safer conditions. is life threatening for all concerned.

DearMYRTLE: FHL Catalog To be Updated Daily Online: "DearREADERS,
Having attended the FGS (Federation of Genealogical Societies) annual conference 3-6 Sept 2003 in Orlando this past week, ol' Myrt here is just bursting at the seams to tell you about the neat things she's learned. Couldn't sleep much last night planning upcoming columns.
