BEST KID-FRIENDLY RESTAURANT (1999)
Like it or not--and blame it on marketing, or the security of the familiar--kids love chains. Fortunately, one of the higher-class burger chains is also kid-friendly. At Fuddruckers, children eat for 99 cents every day. They get their choice of a hamburger, hot dog, grilled cheese sandwich, or chicken strips, with fries, a drink, and--over at a separate counter after they are finished with the meal--a cookie. They have a blast decorating their food at the condiment smorgasboard, piling on pickles, tomatoes, mustard, mayo, and whatever else their twisted little taste buds desire. Having built up a healthy buzz from the sugary dessert, they can zoom around the spacious premises without causing much of a scene or, if your pocketbook allows, can partake in the video games available in the side room. Plenty of high chairs are available for toddlers. Finally, the two Fuddruckers listed above are the ones we confirmed are totally smoke-free, although nonsmoking sections exist in the other four locations.

Relative to CRT monitors, FPDs have the following advantages:
FPDs are, on average, brighter than CRTs. A typical CRT might have brightness of about 100 candelas/square meter, a unit of measurement referred to as a nit. (Some monitors are rated in foot Lamberts (fL), where one fL equals about 3.43 nits.) A high-quality 15-inch FPD might be rated at 300 nits, three times as bright as a typical CRT. This brightness disparity decreases a bit in larger sizes. For example, a high-quality 19-inch FPD might be rated at 235 nits. CRTs dim as they age, although a brightness control with enough range at the upper end can often be used to set an old CRT to near-original brightness. The cold cathode ray tubes (CCRTs) used to backlight FPDs also dim as they age, but generally fail completely before reduced brightness becomes a major issue.
Contrast measures the difference in luminance between the brightest and dimmest portions of an image, and is expressed as a ratio. The ability to display a high-contrast image is an important aspect of image quality, particularly for text. An average CRT monitor may have a contrast ratio of 200:1, and a superb CRT 250:1. An inexpensive FPD may have a contrast ratio of 200:1, and a superb FPD 500:1. In other words, even an inexpensive FPD may have a better contrast ratio than an excellent CRT monitor.
Even good flat-screen CRTs are subject to objectionable reflections when used in bright environments, ...

Sports arena is not just fighting and killing, but also adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing behind
China News Service Client, Beijing, June 22 (Wang Hao) In the early morning of the 22nd, Beijing time, in the final round of Group C of the European Cup, Denmark beat Russia 4:1, winning two in three games. With a loss of 3 points, he made a thrilling advancement to the top 16 with a goal difference advantage.
After the final whistle sounded , A slightly funny scene appeared on the court. The Danish players who just won the game did not celebrate, but gathered in a circle and watched nervously as the staff swiped their phones. They were waiting for the result of the match between Belgium and Finland.
In the end, Belgium defeated Finland 2:0, sending an “assist” for Denmark to advance. It can only be said that fortunately, this stadium has a good network speed. If the signal is not good, the Danish players still don’t know what to do…
In points-based sports events, the spectators must not only have the home team’s In addition to the fearful performance, some people are forced to learn mathematics. After all, the difference in points by one point may result in very different results. It is comedy that gets good results after nervous waiting like Denmark, and it is tragedy that celebrates in advance but is killed by one point.
2008 F1 Grand Prix The suspense of the hand championship lasted until the last stop-Brazil. The 71st lap race was full of twists and turns. The rain that started midway forced the teams to temporarily change their strategies. Some cars pitted and changed rain tires, and some insisted on using dry tires.
In the end, Ferrari driver Massa won the Brazilian championship by an absolute advantage. Brazil is Massa’s hometown. After Massa crossed the line, the fans and his family and friends were very excited.
However, McLaren driver Hamilton surpassed Toyota driver Glock at the last minute to take fifth place in Brazil, and won the driver of the year from Massa by one point in the overall standings. champion.
For this transcendence, there has been a lot of controversy to this day. Some media directly pointed out in reports that Glock “gave the car”, although Glock himself denied this. Some media believe that Glock, who used dry tires, just made a serious mistake.
That is the Massa profession At the closest moment of his career to the drivers championship, he announced his retirement in 2017. He also failed to win this honor. Some people ridicule that he was only a half-lap driver’s championship, and I don’t know how Massa would feel when he thinks of that race.
Of course, looking at Glock’s F1 career, the Brazilian Grand Prix of that year was also his closest moment to the “Drivers Championship”. Who can think of the story of two people competing for the championship, but the ending is written by a “third party”?
Different from football and F1 games, because in most cases a single basketball game has only two results, the basketball game generally compares not the points, but the net wins when calculating the line quota. Minute.
In 2019, the Men’s Basketball World Cup will be held in China. In the case of a lottery and signing in the group stage, the performance of the host Chinese men’s basketball team was disappointing. From the very beginning, the fans hoped that the Chinese men’s basketball team would hit the quarterfinals and semifinals, and finally they hoped that they would get Olympic tickets.
but in qualifying In China, the Chinese men’s basketball team lost to Nigeria 73:86, and Iran beat the Philippines 95:75 in a game at the same time. Iran became the best Asian team by virtue of its total points difference and won the Tokyo Olympics. Pass-through qualification.
The score calculation process in this game was not too dramatic, but it left a deep impression on the fans. Once upon a time, we counted our opponents in the knockout games of the Olympics, but now we have to count the qualifications for the Olympics?
If the Chinese men’s basketball team is considered to be a scumbag who knows the passing score but can’t reach it, then the Chinese men’s football team once performed a scene where the scumbag “copys the wrong answer” in the open-book exam…
In 2004, in the final round of Group D of the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese men beat the Hong Kong men’s football team 7-0. Before the start of the game, the national football team knew that they basically needed to rely on a goal difference to qualify, and in the game it was also a posture that surpassed the “standard answer” and launched a fierce attack.
The final whistle sounded After that, the Chinese team that won a big victory looked “stable”, but found out why nothing happened to the Chinese team in the next stage of the game? Later, there were reports that the Chinese team had miscalculated the qualifying conditions, and won 7 goals and could not qualify.
This game has stayed in the hearts of fans for a long time, because it not only reflects the dilemma of the national football team at the time, but also makes people question their own mathematics—addition and subtraction within ten. Is it so difficult for me?
Since childhood, we have memorized many theorems, such as one plus one equals two. These are the basis for our mathematical calculations. However, sometimes, when doing “calculation problems” in sports events, I find that I haven’t even figured out the theorem itself. How do I calculate this?
This year’s CUBA league, there was a very influential rule dispute. In the eight-to-four competition, China University of Mining competed with Peking University. According to regulations, the game adopts a home and away game system. In the first game, Mining University defeated Peking University 83:78.
And in the second scene Before the start of the game, the CUBA official Weibo stated that “the Peking University men’s basketball team returning to the home court must beat the opponent by at least 6 points (5 points in overtime) in order to advance to the semi-finals.”
During the game, In the final stage of the fourth quarter, Peking University had a chance to win the game with free throws, but it was unable to win the game by 6 points. If the game were to be won, the result would be eliminated due to the two-round net disadvantage. Therefore, the Peking University players suspected of deliberately missed free throws and dragged the game into overtime.
Beijing University won the game 99:89 in overtime and advanced to the semi-finals by relying on the advantage of two rounds of winning points.
This game has aroused intense discussion on social media, and many fans questioned whether the second game was tied and entered overtime, and Peking University won 5 points and entered overtime. Is such a rule reasonable?
After the game, CUBA official It has been explained that according to the rules of the competition, there is no situation where a single game ends in a draw. Therefore, the second game requires extra time to determine the relationship between the winners and losers of the game, and then the promotion will be determined based on the total score of the two games. Team. He also said that the joint meeting had confirmed the rules with both teams before the game.
According to the official statement, it can indeed explain what happened in this game. The reason for such a huge controversy is mainly because the details of the pre-match rules have not been announced. Just like a math question done in an exam was judged wrong, and it turned out that some of the standard answers were too big…
Sports competitions have become vivid math questions, in the final analysis, because of its uncertainty. Before the end of the game, “getting out of a tie” may overturn, a big victory may turn into a disappointment, and unexpected factors may disrupt all layouts.
But this is also where the charm of sports lies. Doing your best to win is a more powerful weapon than “calculation”! (End)

Nexus 10 Quick Start Manual Leaks
While a lot of the excitement surrounding Google’s October 29 event has focused on the Nexus 4, we’ve also heard about the potential for Google to launch a new tablet, the Nexus 10. Samsung was rumored to be Google’s manufacturing partner for the tablet, which would supposedly feature an impressive 2560 x 1600 resolution. Today, our chances for actually seeing the Nexus 10 launch next week seem better than ever, upon the leak of the Nexus 10’s quick start guide.
Unfortunately, we only get a quick peek inside, but this manual certainly looks legit. At least what we can see here is quite interesting, showing a tablet design that’s a serious departure from the Nexus 7. Indeed, the Nexus 10 has some bulging edges in comparison to the Nexus 7’s much straighter construction.
We can also see the return of the rear camera, after going missing from the Nexus 7, and the same image of the tablet’s back panel seems to confirm that Samsung is indeed the manufacturer.
There’s definitely the potential here to give the new iPad a run for its money, though that could depend a lot on what Google’s able to sell the Nexus 10 for. If we’re talking $400, this could be one tablet that’s hard to ignore.

Consumption of drugs and food supplements is highly debated in professional sports.
Substances that can potentially change performance have been traditionally banned, and their use is punished by disqualification and fines. CBD has been a gray zone in this regard. On the one hand, evidence suggests that CBD positively affects inflammation and pain, which are common concerns among athletes. On the other hand, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) does not list CBD as a prohibited substance.
This ambiguity raises many questions among athletes. Can they consume CBD? How can it affect their health? And, more importantly, is it ethical to use CBD to improve recovery and overall health? Below, you can find answers to these pressing questions.
What Is CBD and Does It Cause the High?
CBD is the abbreviation for cannabidiol – one of the most well-researched and popular substances found in cannabis. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD does not cause the high and has no addictive properties. However, it has proven therapeutic properties, helping with the following conditions:
These characteristics made CBD a hot topic in the wellness community, so it is not surprising that it also caught athletes’ attention. Professional sports are extremely demanding, with athletes often experiencing chronic pain, inflammation, and stress. So, athletes are always on the lookout for…

Over the weekend, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) took part in the protests and addressed constituents, commenting that “the Minneapolis Police Department is rotten to the root and so when we dismantle it, we get rid of that cancer and we allow for something beautiful to rise.”
Moreover, Lisa Bender, the Council President, announced at a Black Visions Collective and Reclaim the Block rally at Powderhorn Park on Sunday that the city council plans to “end our city’s toxic relationship with the Minneapolis Police Department,” adding that “it’s our commitment to end policing as we know it and recreate systems of public safety that actually keep us safe.”
In response to the call for lawmakers to tackle police reform, Democrats have created the "Justice in Policing Act of 2020" that would ban chokeholds, it would create a National Police Misconduct Registry that would deliver misconduct complaints, discipline and termination records to the federal government, it would develop a grant program allowing state attorneys general to create an independent process that would investigate misconduct or excessive use of force along with other guidelines that have gained support since the protests began.
Now, the conversation has made its way to South Florida, and Florida Democrats are voicing their support.
Florida Rep. Lois Frankel (D), who cosponsored the "Justice in Policing Act of 2020, released a statement arguing that "America is experiencing a moment of national anguish, as we grieve for those killed by police brutality and racial injustice," affirming that "our police should be guardians, not warriors."
Similarly, Florida Rep. Val Demings (D), a former police chief and a potential Vice Presidential pick for former Vice President Joe Biden (D), commented on the decision the Minneapolis City Council is taking, saying that it “is being very thoughtful” for making the decision to dismantle its police department.
In an interview with CBS This Morning, Rep. Demings said that the proposals are the result of people being "hurt" and "disappointed," adding that "there desperately needs to be change."

An engine breakdown on the ocean can be far more than just inconvenient. It may be dangerous. There are numerous of common causes for failure, along with a amount of planned maintenance and preventative work can avoid those situations.
Certainly, the most frequent problems are from the electrical systems. Before describing, simply checking that we now have no loose wires may appear obvious, but it’s rarely done. A standard reason behind electrical problems in most fast, sporting craft is water in the bilge. Because boat accelerates, the bilge water can flow towards the back in the boat at splash up to the flywheel. Wartrol can then hit the starter motor, stopping you with your tracks. Ensuring that the bilge is empty before setting out, and checking occasionally (and emptying the bilge if water is being taken on) while out can prevent this occurring. Another prevalent problem (on boats which has a flybridge) is often a failure to get started on when stopped from a cruise. This is because of the upper helm controls being nearly disengaged after stopping. These craft have systems set up to prevent beginning from the lower helm when the upper help controls usually are not FULLY disconnected.
Failures in batteries and isolator switches also happen. Smaller boats often experience this particular problem because the parts in many cases are partly confronted with spray. Keeping spare isolator switches fully briefed is a straightforward solution. Batteries may be close to fluid and have cells drop out, or maybe be too old to deal with any more. The terminals are also a resource of battery failure, often because of the indelicate usage of a hammer to acquire connectors on there! Avoiding these problems is really as easy as keeping a (fully charged) spare battery on the boat. In addition there are products such as portable power-packs available.
Difficulty with fuel systems are the second most popular way to obtain failure. Sadly, this can be as a result of simply running out of fuel. Certainly be a as it might seem, making sure you’ve enough fuel for the excursion is vital. A lot of boaters depend upon their on-board fuel gauge to be accurate. Marine fuel gauges are notoriously inaccurate and cannot be trusted that the car’s gauge can. Always ensure that you have at least one half a tank when on the ocean. Dip the tanks to make certain.
An issue that is becoming more established is fouling in the system in the bug that grows inside the diesel/water interface. The bug seems to be spreading. There are a variety of treatments for it available. Some are very effective by rendering the dead bugs into a combustible material which simply can burn with the fuel. But a majority of of these just drop the dead lime to the bottom in the tank, and that material clogs the fuel filters. Keeping spare filters aboard can conserve time and effort and hassles, providing you took some time to master how to replace them.
Other reasons for complaints are from the gearboxes, steering apparatus and saildrives. Wear and tear on the clutch will ultimately wear the gear out. This is caused by the operator. Riding the clutch, or letting it to slip during manoeuvres is generally the reason clutches fail. Making certain your saildrive propeller is correctly and firmly fitted after the ring anodes are replaced at the start of the boating months are obviously critical. But those propellers falling is amongst the notable factors behind breakdowns. Hydraulic steering systems also fail because of normal wear. A close visual inspection of cables and fittings, and checking for hydraulic leaks can get those maintenance tasks scheduled before leaving.

Which automatic vacuum seal containers are you interested in learning about?
The Vestia system of vacuum sealed containers offers an easy and effective way to store your dry foods longer while maintaining their peak freshness.
The powered vacuum sealing pressure element, the Vestia-Vac™, operates with a one touch lever to seal out air and moisture, keeping food fresher for longer periods of time. And since the Vestia-Vac is removable, you only need one to seal the full family of Vestia food storage containers.
The Vestia-Vac can be removed and used to seal multiple Vestia storage container lids without having to purchase additional Vestia-Vacs.
A built-in-lock and unlock switch both seals in freshness and acts as a child-proffing mechanism for strong medications or goods.
The automatic re-pressurization feature ensures constant freshness, keeping food fresher up to 5 times longer than regular plastic storage containers.
Vestia’s lids are equiped with independently settable dials for tracking food storage dates so there’s never a question of when food was sealed.
The durable scratch, shatter, stain and odor resistant containers are refrigerator and dishwasher safe.
The stylish design of Vestia’s containers makes it an essential component of the modern kitchen.
OH YEAH! This set of three containers with their battery powered vacuum seal attachment are AWESOME! What a great concept.
What was really super is that I buy expensive Starbucks French Roast Beans that are somewhat oily (appropriately). Left in any other container, the oils dry up relatively quickly and the beans lose some of their punch. NOT with these containers. Perfect!
The containers have lids that include the fittings for a small, battery powered insert that begins the vacuum operation as soon as it's mounted on the top. A small red "button" begins to withdraw into the lid, indicating the vacuum air evacuation is working. When the button becomes flush with the lid, the power quits automatically, and you can remove the power insert...or you can just leave it on until you need it for another container.
Great for coffee beans, rice, cereal, nuts, and many others that will go stale if open to air. 2 AA batteries required, and not included.
1 year warranty. Designed in the USA, made in China...but high quality. Enjoy!
I love the containers, and they actually work very well. My only issue is having to attach a little battery operated motor in order to achieve the vacuum seal. I suppose, having grown up when 'burping the tupperware' was really innovative, I like things simple. And have more dead motors and other electronic gadgets than you can imagine. So it took me days before I wanted to deal with trying to figure out how this worked. And it seems to work just fine, once you do that. We make a lot of soups, and these are a great size for soups and sauces. But I can take out just one cup of soup every day for several days, so if you want to really get the best intended results, you have to constantly attach the motor and reseal these. I totally love the built in dates on the lids. You can pick the month and day that the leftovers go in. I always label my leftovers, with little tags I get at the restaurant supply and a marker. This is even easier, and less paper waste for the planet.
Before ordering I was asking myself is this product really necessary? I have a few specific uses so decided to give it a try. There is a small moveable part that you put on the top of the container then turn it on to suck the air out of the container to make a vacuum. The device is used on the different sized containers. By removing air from the container it can help prolong the shelf life of certain foods.
I am using this for expensive gluten free and grain free flours (i.e. almond meal) and flax seeds that can go randid from exposure to air. It also is a tight seal so that moths and insects cannot get into the original bag container or box. I am also using it for the giant bag of breakfast cereal that my kids eat whose box doesn't even fit on my shelf. This provides upright storage and by taking the air out the cereal remains crisp instead of taking in humidity from the air to ruin it when my teens fail to close up the original bag tightly out of laziness. Due to the cost of these containers I cannot see converting my whole kitchen to use them, but if you have a specific purpose for them they can be helpful for pantry food storage. No complaints, rated 5 stars = I Love It.
Sad that this is promoted as being BPA free, which is great, but that it is made of polystyrene, which I have concerns about. Polystyrene’s risk is still poorly understood, but I would choose not to use it for longterm storage of food in a vacuum environment, as I am concerned about chemicals migrating into the food under these conditions. Polystyrene is made from styrene, which is fairly well accepted as being a carcinogen. According to the EWG, the International Agency for Research on Cancer lists styrene as a known carcinogen. According to the Code of Federal Regulations, polystyrene may not contain more than 1% (or .5% for fatty foods) styrene; which means that it likely does contain some styrene. The study “Quantitative Analysis of Styrene Dimer and Trimers Migrated from Disposable Lunch Boxes” found that chemicals did leach into food in polystyrene packaging. This may increase thyroid hormone levels (specifically plasma T4), according to the study “Styrene Trimer May Increase Thyroid Hormone Levels via Down-Regulation of the Aryl Hydorcarbon Receptor (AhR) Target Gene UDP-Glucuronosyltransterase,” which notes that “styrene trimers are polystyrene-container-eluted materials that are sometimes detected in packaged foods.” You can see Wikipedia and other online sources for the details on this. So, the risk is not clear, but, as I say, given that these containers are for longterm storage, I think polystyrene is a poor choice, as the food will be in contact with the container for a longer period of time.
I would note that the Vesta-Vac motor only works when connected to a lid. You cannot use it to make a vacuum in any other container or “plastic” bag.
Vestia does have a different product, the Wine Saver, which I would recommend, as it is for use on wine bottles, so the food/drink is only in contact with glass.
I’m not going to give this a very low rating, as many people are not so concerned about toxins (and the risks of polystyrene containers are unclear); they will likely be happy with this product. It’s your decision.
I love these things for marinade mung meat. It really does help infuse the flavor and it's nice for dry goods that absorb moisture and for fresh veggies. Food does last longer
This system works exactly as it is described to work and we are really happy with it. I think it's one of my favorite kitchen items that I've added in a while. The instructions were easy to understand and the system is simple to use and works great.
I really like that the containers are BPA-free and stackable. I also like that you can set the date on top to remember when you put items inside.
Other details to be aware of:
Containers are dishwasher safe (lids hand wash)
They are refrigerator safe but not microwave safe.
Intended for dry foods only.
Two AA batteries required, not included.
This set is handy if you'd like to keep your foods fresh. It comes with the show containers and the lids fit all of them so no need to worry about finding the right size for each any time. The set comes with the little vacuum necessary to seal up the containers (batteries are not included you'll need 2 AA batteries). As long as you follow instructions the units are easy to operate and worth the extra steps to keep your food fresh. The vacuum operates relatively silently as well. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars from me is because you have to keep track of the vacuum and make sure you don't wash any of the lids in the dishwasher. Also, you have to do the right steps overtime to open and close the units.
I like this set. It is easy to use and I'll be buying more sizes to go with this starter set.
This is a 7 piece set- 3 canisters, 3 lids and the sealing motor...it requires 2 AA batteries that are not included...nice solid plastic construction- wish they came in colors...the motor is fairly quiet and creates a nice seal...let it run till it stops...the white button releases the lid, the red button releases the motor...do not use in the microwave - hubby destroyed one...reseal every 3 weeks...I have one in the fridge...lids are handwash only...this is a really neat set...
I see two major flaws with this product:
1. Opening it.
2. Closing it.
These are problems because every time you open the canister, you need to re-seal it using the battery operated Vestia-Vac. Closing it is a problem because you can’t close it at all without the battery operated Vestia-Vac. The canisters don’t close without the Vac seal. So if the idea is to use them more often and not worry about the Vac seal, then that won’t work either. Sure, you could just set the top on it but then you have to be careful to never move it.
Now, I am generally forgiving if something is useless but pretty but such is not the case here. They are also ugly, especially the one without the Vac on top.
This is a clever idea. I like how easy it is to vacuum seal a canister. It kind of reminded me of the big aero bags that used a vacuum. The primary problem with that item was also the vacuum. It was much easier to just sit on the bags.
But then I was trying to figure out what to put in these canisters. It had to be something I hardly ever use so I wouldn’t have to reseal it. Then it had to be something that wouldn’t leave a residue because the lids are not dishwasher safe. I was taught by Tupperware to always put the lid and the bowl or canister in the dishwasher at the same time and at same level. The Vestia-Vacs canisters are made of a hard shiny acrylic looking material that I would not put in the dishwasher, generally speaking.
I have to say that for the most part, these are not very useful and will probably not be used in my house by anyone other than the children. The idea of having to use the Vestia-Vac every single time after opening the canister is pretty silly.
But the children think it is fun and probably will continue to think it is fun until they need the batteries for a remote. Hopefully, they will then forget about them.
Ok, This comes with 3 containers: 1L, 1.5L, and 2L. + lids for each. I wasn't sure if the description meant 1 pc was coming or the 3pc..my mistake. Next, when I watched the video/the pics I saw, I thought it showed wet product and I assumed these would work as well for fridge. They will I'm sure, for very short term fridge use but product description says should be used to store only dry foods..no wet foods or liquid :( Do not use for microwave either. Do not submerge the vac part in water, only the containers and lids are dishwasher safe..which makes complete sense since the vac part is where you have to put in the 2 AA batteries that are NOT incl. When I first looked at it all I thought the whole lid assembly was the vac, I couldn't find the spot for the batteries(duh, don't be me). So, to the real important part, what you CAN actually do with this set. Store pastas, cereal, coffees, dried fruit, rice, sugar, flour, beans, tea, oatmeal, nuts, chips, cookies..you get the idea. Since it is so humid where I live I mainly store cereal, chips and treats. This works just like it says and fast! You do have to be careful to just push the red release TAB and not raise the white finger lever..it will let all the air back in. There is a day/month ring on the lids you can set for the date you vac'd it. You probably should use it too and remember to check occasionally because it will lose some seal eventually unless you have the vac attached to it while in storage, in which case, it's supposed to automatically reseal its self. Haven't had long enough to see that in action. Over all, I like. Wish it was able to be used for long term fridge use and I may try cheeses or something (not recommended). Sturdy containers and useful!
Great set and I would definitely recommend. First and foremost -- there are only supposed to be used w DRY ingrediants. Also, as just storage containers they're terrible because without vacuum sealing them the lid just sits on top -- no seal of any kind.
To use these containers is simple, simply fill with whatever dry good you want (I used them for bulk protein powders) and use the little vacuum to seal them shut. Vacuum unit is really small and easy to store. Make sure you grab some AA batteries because you'll need two.
So far, this set has been perfect and exactly what I needed!
Love these containers! These are well made and well thought out storage containers. Unlike the vacuum seal bags, these are reusable. They are very easy to use. The pump does all the work. All you have to do is place it on the top of the container. To release the seal, you just push a button and the lid comes right off. These are especially great because we get ants every summer and they can get into just about anything. They cannot get into these containers. Although it says that the containers themselves are dishwasher safe, you do have to wash the lids by hand as they are not dishwasher safe. I will be washing both by hand because I want them to last as long as possible. I like these so much that I will definitely be buying more of them. These are great for storing tea or coffee beans in if you want to keep them fresh.
These are so convenient. I have been using a food saver canister system for several years now and while it has a stronger motor and creates a longer lasting seal, it is not as quick and easy as these. I don't like to use the food saver as much on canisters that I open and close on a daily basis. These however are simple and easy to use. No hose, no long air release time, and it is a simple process. However for canisters that I only use one a week or longer in between intervals, I find the foodsaver creates a much tighter seal.
The motor is not too loud. The batteries last longer than I anticipated which is a nice surprise. I am using rechargeable batteries and they work great. Overall I am very happy with this system. I didn't think it would be as good as it is. 5 stars.
I make a yearly pilgrimage to a spice wholesaler. Great savings but without an air tight container, the spices fade fast. This container system is ideal for preserving any dry ingredient. It comes with three clear plastic canisters, small (1 liter), medium (1.5 liters) and large (2 liters), matching black covers and a small handheld vacuum sealer. The sealer operates on 2 AA batteries which are, annoyingly, NOT included. The batteries are easy to insert by removing the battery cover on the base of the sealer. Operation is simple. Place the cover on the canister and put the sealer on the lid. Activate by lowering the white lever. It removes the air and stops automatically. Press the release button to take the sealer off or you can leave it one the canister. the covers have a month day dial so you can easily remember when it was last sealed. the set comes with an instruction sheet that features black and white photos and written instructions.
Do not use with liquid or moist ingredients. While the canisters, covers and sealer are refrigerator safe, they should not be used in the microwave. the canisters only are dishwasher safe. Hand wash the covers and wipe the sealer with a damp cloth. Al components should be dry before use. Plan on resealing items every 3-4 weeks for optimum freshness. This is an excellent way to keep dry ingredients fresh and minimize waste.
The Vestia Automatic Vacuum Seal Container System is such a great concept and very well designed. In this set, you get three generously sized containers, each with a lid, and the small vacuum unit. The vacuum unit requires two AA batteries, not included.
To use the system, you fill a container with a dry good such as rice, beans, flour, cereal, etc. Place a lid on the container and snap on the vacuum. The vacuum automatically starts up and stops when the air has been removed from the container. This takes a matter of seconds, depending on the size of the container. You can remove the vacuum or leave it in place. If you leave it in place, it will automatically maintain the vacuum seal over time. Or, you can remove the vacuum to use it on other containers. To release the seal, you simply press a button on the lid and lid lifts off. The lids only rest on top of the containers when not vacuum sealed; they do not snap or screw into place. If you plan to store foods for a long time, you'll need to reseal the containers every few weeks.
The containers are dishwasher safe, but the lids must be hand washed. The vacuum unit is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, so you can simply keep it a drawer ready to use if you don't leave it on a jar. As I mentioned, this set is only for dry goods, nothing with liquids.
I like this set for ease of use and convenience. There aren't any supplies to purchase over time, unless you just want to add some containers to your collection. Each lid has movable tabs so you can note the day you seal the container, making it easy to keep track of how long the food has been in storage.
Great system for storing dry food products for medium/long term. Easy to operate and seems like time really stops within the container!

Mississippi's Last Clinic Still Standing, Barely
After years of violently blockading abortion clinics, terrorizing women and doctors, and agitating for biblical rule, there is a smug sense of triumphalism coming from the pro-life organization Operation Save America/Operation Rescue.
From July 15 to 20, OSA/OR has been staging an extended protest in Jackson, Miss., aimed at closing the state's last abortion clinic -- a move the group hopes will "send a message" to abortion providers and lawmakers throughout the country.
(Check out a video in which the group's president, Flip Benham, talks with unabashed glee about shuttering the "abortion mill.")
Operation Rescue, you may remember, was the organization responsible for the infamous "No Place to Hide" campaign during the 1990s that distributed the home addresses and travel routines of abortion providers in the period before the first killing of an abortion doctor. (Background here and here)
Rather than being permanently discredited by those actions, the organization has survived, and even prospered. Indeed, with George W. Bush in the White House, OSA/OR and its ideological kin have cause to be optimistic about their prospects. After all, one of Bush's first presidential pen strokes prohibited U.S.-funded international organizations from mentioning abortion to the people they served. Since then there has been a torrent of nearly 2,000 restrictions and challenges to abortion introduced by legislatures nationwide, most notably the statewide abortion bans in South Dakota and Louisiana. During the same period, individuals in two states have been sent to prison for their involvement with self-induced abortions. (More info here and here)
On the other hand, polls indicate that most of the U.S. population still believes women should have the right to abortion. And if pro-choice people respond decisively, this week's protests in Mississippi (and counter-protests, which I will be joining) could serve as a rallying point for millions to not only push back against this assault on abortion but to unleash a movement against the whole Bush program of repression, empire and theocracy -- a movement capable of driving out the regime.
But any effective response hinges on abandoning the paralyzing and demobilizing search -- led by the Democratic Party and far too many pro-choice "leaders" -- for a mythical "reasonable center position" or "common ground" with the anti-abortion movement.
No matter how many people have been duped into joining the anti-abortion movement on the basis of "saving babies," as Bob Avakian has pointed out in his book "Preaching From a Pulpit of Bones," "The essence of the anti-abortion 'movement' has been to assert patriarchal control over women, including to insist on the defining role of women as breeders of children. The fundamentalist foot-soldiers of this 'movement' make this very clear. The following prayer offered at an Operation Rescue rally, cited in Life magazine (July 1992), typifies this: "Oh please, Lord, break the curse on women's hearts that says we don't need our men. Break that independence.'"
Besides, a fetus is not a baby. With its assault on basic science, including evolution, and its intentionally misleading and grotesque signs, the fundamentalist movement has misled many into imagining that aborted fetuses are cute little babies just waiting to be cuddled. In fact, 90 percent of abortions take place when the fetus is no longer than this string of o's: oooooooooooooo. Since there is no way these fetuses could become fully formed, independent human beings except as a subordinate part of a woman's overall biological processes for nine months, declaring that they all should be preserved means reducing women to incubators and slaves to their biology.
In some ways, OSA/OR does us a favor by being more open about its views than its brethren in the White House, Congress and, increasingly, the judiciary under the Bush regime. One of Operation Save America's T-shirts reads: "Homosexuality is a sin. Islam is a lie. Abortion is murder."
Less known, but perhaps more revealing: OSA/OR's office space was donated by Lincoln Log Homes International, whose CEO, Richard Schoff, was once a leader of Indiana's Ku Klux Klan. Fittingly, a picture of the famous segregationist George Wallace hangs in the hall not far from OSA/OR's door.
And a look at the cast of characters involved with OSA/OR over the years turns up a "who's who" of the Bush regime's most influential and demanding theocratic supporters. Among them:
At the core of OSA/OR's efforts is an attempt to tighten the patriarchal chains of tradition. Consider: There is not a single anti-abortion organization in the country that supports birth control. Beverly LaHaye, the founder of Concerned Women for America, a group whose members Bush has sent as delegates to United Nations commissions on women and children, put it this way: "The woman who is truly Spirit-filled will want to be totally submissive to her husband. Ã¢â‚¬Â¦ This is a truly liberated woman. Submission is God's design for women."
As Benham, the OSA president, explains, it is this same ideal that motivates his thuggish approach to women at the doors of the clinics: "It seems ugly, my speech. But it's because we love them that we scream at them. You have to have a bad guy who will confront them."
In reality, this traditional belief in domination by men and submission by women is exactly what must be uprooted if we are ever going to stem the cases of domestic abuse that have made the home, statistically speaking, the most dangerous place for females in America.
It is against this backdrop that the "opposition" of the Democrat Party must be judged.
Sen. Charles Schumer. D-N.Y., has called defending abortion a "game" the Democrats "can't afford to play" any longer. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., has called abortion a "tragic choice," ceding the moral high ground to religious fanatics when, in fact, abortion should require no shame or apologies. As a key part of regaining seats in the Senate, the Democrats are running the vehemently anti-choice Bob Casey Jr. in Pennsylvania. And revealingly, the Democrats recently unveiled a new "95/10 Initiative," which aims at reducing the number of abortions by 95 percent over the next 10 years -- but which doesn't even mention birth control.
What all this proves is not that there's no popular support for abortion rights, but that the overwhelming popular support that does exist will be rendered worse than meaningless if it continues to rely solely on the Democratic Party.
The simple truth is that a woman who cannot control her own reproduction has no more freedom than a slave. And if half of humanity is not free, then no one can truly be free.
The clock is ticking toward the resolution to the battle over abortion. Operation Save America's website boasts that what the group accomplishes in the streets of Jackson will soon become law throughout the land.
On the other side, the World Can't Wait Bus Tour and the Jackson chapter of the National Organization for Women are planning counter-protests all week long. There is little that could be more important this week than joining them in the streets of Jackson to help build a movement to counter the theocratic zealots in the only way it can be done: through the independent political action of millions to drive the Bush regime from power.

Sadly, many guys with Peyronie’s illness are embarrassed about the condition and select to suffer in silence instead than speaking with their health care provider about it, others usually seek assist from their doctors simply because of problems with intercourse instead than the curvature by itself. Doctors also resort to duplex ultrasound, bulbocavernosus reflex tests, nocturnal penile tumescence, penile biothesiometry and dynamic infusion cavernosometry, to phase and comprehend the fundamental causes powering erectile dysfunction or impotence. Other people really worth investigating are: tension (more than the status of one’s work, loved ones discord or money matters) Anxiety steams from the individual’s fear of sexual failure and guilt arise from his inability to satisfy his partner.

When the cause is known, and involves a restriction of blood flow, there is a simple repair that involves surgical treatment wherein an artery is moved into the region, and the blood movement is able to bypass what ever was restricting it prior to. Apart from these symptoms there is a partial erection which is not rigid sufficient to carry out sexual intercourse or the rigidity gone before penetration. The method is comparatively effortless, even though like all methods, there exists some degree of risk that the patient takes on when going through surgery. The discussion about whether or not women prefer dimension more than a more fulfilling psychological and sexual relationship has nothing to do with the desire to have a penis that is bigger and, consequently clearly better, than the one you are born with. The major symptoms of the Peyronie’s illness : Some of the symptoms that are connected to Peyronie’s illness are the following : painful erection, the narrowing of the width of the erectile penis, problems and agonizing erections curve of the penis throughout the erection, a wide band of tissue on the sides of the penis, bend of the penis throughout the erection as nicely as plaque or hardened tissue.

On 25 May 2018 the Polish CRUSEV team hosted its final public seminar before the university’s summer break. The invited speaker was Professor Remigiusz Ryzinski, author of Foucault w Warszawie (Foucault in Warsaw), recently nominated for the prestigious Polish “Nike” literary award in the category of reportage. Ryzinski talked about his archival research and the oral history interviews behind the book, in which he uses Michel Foucault’s nine-month stay in Warsaw as a pretext to describe the city’s queer life at the end of the 1950s. Ryzinski shows that the “homosexual milieu” in Warsaw and in other Polish cities was being investigated by the state police years ahead of the much better known “Hyacinth” campaign in the mid-1980s. He also speculates that the Palace of Culture, a Stalinist-era building looming over the city’s centre and visible from the street where Foucault lived, may have inspired the philosopher’s notion of the panopticon. Foucault in fact worked on Madness and Civilization while staying in Warsaw, where he directed the newly founded Centre de Civilization Francaise at the University of Warsaw. He was forced to leave Poland abruptly in July 1959, probably to avoid a diplomatic scandal related to his homosexuality.

Abstract 11291: No Difference in Active Metabolite Exposure Between Very Elderly and Non-elderly Coronary Artery Disease Patients Treated With Prasugrel 5 mg or 10 mg in the GENERATIONS Trial
Background: Prasugrel 10 mg reduced ischemic events compared to clopidogrel 75 mg in the TRITON trial. The notable increase in bleeding over clopidogrel in the very elderly prompted the recommendation of a lower prasugrel 5 mg maintenance dose in patients ≥75 years, but pharmacokinetic (PK) data for this dose-adjustment is limited. We therefore performed a blinded, three-period cross-over study in very elderly and non-elderly patients with stable CAD, examining active metabolite (AM) PK for prasugrel (5 and 10 mg) and clopidogrel 75 mg.
Methods: After a run-in on daily low-dose aspirin, very elderly (≥75 years) and non-elderly (≥45 to <65 years) patients were randomized to prasugrel (5 or 10 mg) or clopidogrel 75 mg during three 12-day periods. PK was measured at the end of each period.
Results presented here were based on statistical linear models using log-transformed AUC data from the first study period. Results: The mean body weight was 85.4 kg (SD 11.2 kg) and 93.1 kg (SD 18.6 kg) in very elderly and non-elderly, respectively. Levels of prasugrel AM (geometric mean AUC(0-tlast)) were slightly higher in very elderly than in non-elderly (Table). With prasugrel 10 and 5 mg, levels of AM were 9% and 18% higher in very elderly compared to non-elderly (40.12 vs. 36.69 and 18.88 vs. 16.06 ng•hr/mL, respectively). In very elderly with prasugrel 5 mg the ratio of AM was 51% of that in non-elderly on prasugrel 10 mg (18.88 vs. 36.69 ng•hr/mL, respectively). After adjusting for body weight, exposures in the very elderly group were similar to the non-elderly group within each treatment (Table). Exposure of AM based on Cmax were similar to those based on AUC(0-tlast) (data not shown).
Conclusion: In aspirin-treated patients with CAD ≥75 years of age, the AM exposure to prasugrel 10 mg and 5 mg was similar to that of patients ≥45 to <65 years when adjusted for the modestly lower body weight in very elderly patients.

Workations, which allow employees to combine vacation and work, have become a popular employment strategy for organisations in the US and Europe. Thanks to collaboration tools and progresses in workplace productivity technologies, it has become easy for remote workers to blend leisure and productive time. This allows many, whether Gen Z singletons, millennial professionals or freelancers, to tick a destination off that bucket or visit a long-distance significant other, friends or family without having to take time off.
In the Maldives, for example, hotels are offering the ultimate ‘workation packages’ where guests can work from a secluded beach house, with personal desks and high-speed WiFi. Meanwhile, some hotels in India have created indoor and outdoor common areas that function as work-friendly spaces. Dedicated poolside spaces, for instance, offer remote workers a table, chair, parasol, WiFi access and a power socket, as well as a sun lounger for those breaks in between working.
And the pandemic-inspired fad of working remotely while using the rest of the day and weekends to explore new places is fast catching up in the Middle East. Hotels throughout the region are preparing to capitalise on the global demand for blurring the lines between work and leisure, which has mostly been driven by the social restrictions imposed by governments around the world. According to research conducted as well as commissioned by Reed Travel Exhibitions, the organiser of Arabian Travel Market (ATM), many travel experts are expecting a surge in workations in 2021 and beyond.
“The hotel industry in the Middle East has gradually started to recover, especially in places such as Dubai. Staycations created the initial demand after lockdown, the next step has been the continued growth of workations, which are also referred to as ‘bleisure’ stays, which tend to bring in more visitors from overseas,” Danielle Curtis, Exhibition Director ME, Arabian Travel Market, said.
Curtis added Dubai has launched a remote visa programme that will allow visitors to stay as long as a year. While in Dubai, they can have access to co-working spaces and government support services. To accommodate the needs of the ‘new normal’ smart working traveller even further, an increasing number of hotels in the MENA region are offering pop-up co-working spaces with the aim of rethinking and making the most of the hotel space.
With over 50 percent of the world’s working population doing so from home and the rise of entrepreneurial digital nomads, who actually prefer to work remotely, the popularity of workations is set to increase. Companies like Facebook, Twitter and Spotify have announced that employees can work from home indefinitely, fuelling thoughts the trend, which alleviates the boredom of living and working from home, will continue once the pandemic is over.
According to Curtis, the demand for workations could even broaden to include families, however this depends on the effectiveness of vaccines, as well as travel and other social restrictions. “If children are being home-schooled it would make little difference if they were at home or on a workation with their parents. Indeed, time away from long cold winter nights in northern Europe, would undoubtedly improve a family’s state of mind,” she said.

WASHINGTON—Senior Republicans and Democrats expect the next round of coronavirus aid to include tens of billions of dollars to fund vaccine research and the broad distribution of an eventual vaccine, but they have disagreements over how much Americans should be charged for it.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), ahead of the start of expected aid negotiations next week when Congress returns to Washington, said he expects Congress to play a central role in vaccine logistics.

Dead Space is a science fiction survival horror video game franchise developed by Visceral Games, which is now closed. The series consists of three main games and several spin-offs, including comic books, movies, and novels. The franchise was praised for its unique and terrifying gameplay, immersive environments, and engaging story. In this article, we will delve into the details of the Dead Space Series.
The gameplay of all the three games in the Dead Space series is centered around survival horror. Players traverse through dark, claustrophobic environments filled with grotesque and deadly creatures. Each game in the series introduces new types of enemies and weapons, challenging the player to adapt to an ever-changing situation. One of the unique features of the series is that players have to dismember their enemies to defeat them, aiming for specific limbs instead of the body. This intricate targeting system makes the combat more strategic and satisfying. Dead Space also employs zero-gravity sections, where players can navigate in three-dimensional space, adding another layer of complexity to the gameplay.
The Dead Space series follows protagonist Isaac Clarke, an engineer who finds himself in increasingly horrifying situations. In the first game, he is sent to a space station named the USG Ishimura to repair its communication systems, only to find that the ship is overrun by the alien race known as Necromorphs. Throughout the series, Isaac becomes entangled in a grand conspiracy involving government authorities and a mysterious alien artifact known as the Marker. The story of the Dead Space series is full of twists and turns, pulling the player deeper into a fascinating yet terrifying plot.
The Dead Space series has received critical acclaim, with each main game being positively reviewed. Critics praised the series’ unique take on horror and its immersive atmosphere. The game’s sound design and music were also praised, adding to the overall effectiveness of the horror experience. Fans of the series appreciated the world-building and the attention to detail in the game’s mechanics. However, the later entries in the series faced some criticism for straying too far from its survival horror roots. Despite this, the series remains a highly regarded franchise in the gaming community.
The Dead Space series is remembered as one of the most iconic and ground-breaking horror franchises in video games. Its unique gameplay, immersive atmosphere, and compelling storyline helped to establish the series as a genre staple. The series has garnered a loyal fan base that continues to celebrate its legacy, even after Visceral Games’ closure in 2017. With rumors of a reboot or remaster of the original game swirling, it is clear that Dead Space is a franchise that continues to captivate players years after its debut.
The Dead Space series is an important part of survival horror gaming history. Its emphasis on strategic limb dismemberment, zero-gravity sections, and gripping storyline set it apart from other horror games at the time of release. Although the series may have had its ups and downs, the core Dead Space experience remains a favorite among horror fans. As we look forward to the future of the franchise, we can’t help but appreciate the impact it has had on the gaming community.

Perfectionism (n) refusal to accept any standard short of perfection
It was a fairly normal, sunny day in Durban when I decided to buy some juice from my local tuck shop. After the purchase I received my change, of course, though I spent a good few minutes arranging my money ‘properly’. As many would know, all South African notes now have Nelson Mandela’s head printed on them. So my intention was to have all of Mandela’s heads facing the same way in my purse.
I honestly did not see anything wrong with this, even after I received a few ‘weird girl’ looks from some spectators. As a matter of fact over the years I have grown used to being seen as a ‘weird girl’ because of my fairly awkward customs. It was not until a very close friend of mine made me realise just how this aspect of me has had a negative impact on my expectations from individuals I regularly encounter, more especially my family and friends.
Some have referred to perfectionism as a disease, including the author of the article I have extracted some information from. I personally agree with this statement, because perfectionism has successfully stripped the happiness we get to experience in life for me a couple of times. I won’t deny that it has made me a very productive and efficient worker yet throughout this year I have had to teach myself to, one step at a time, drop these perfectionist tendencies. Basically because I haven’t been able to produce work to my desired level of perfection because I am still healing from the injuries I suffer from the accident I was involved in early last year, you can read all about that in the Unfortunate Truth.
Here are some pointers I got from here on perfectionism that I believe we should be made aware of:
- Perfectionism creates a steady state of discontent fueled by a stream of negative emotions like fear, frustration, and disappointment.
- When you are a perfectionist, you can’t enjoy even your successes—there is always something you could have done better.
- Because failure is not an option for perfectionists, fear of failure becomes a driving force. All that fear diverts energy from more constructive things, making perfectionists less able to learn and be creative. Perfectionists expend a lot of energy on the things they are desperately trying to avoid: failure and the criticism they imagine it will create. Ironically, this preoccupation has been shown to undermine performance in sports, in academics, and in social situations.
- Perfectionism—like all fixed-mindset thinking—keeps kids from taking risks and embracing challenge. Rising to a challenge is one of the best ways to go from being good at something to being great.
- Perfectionism leads kids to conceal their mistakes and avoid getting constructive feedback. In nearly every field—writing groups are the most obvious example here—group critique is a rapid way to get better at something.
Please do leave comments on the reply section below and let’s make this a hearty conversation, why not?

in the Extremely Off Season, 2009
the grudgingly-French island off the coast of Italy. We're
catching the seriously off-season rates, Christmas and New Years 2009.
may not find this terribly rewarding unless you're included here, so this is a
good time for casual and random browsers to turn back before they get too caught
up in the sweep and majesty of the proceedings and can't let go.
San-Martino-di-Lota and the Corniche
Ask Google Maps how to find the Hotel de la Corniche in San-Martino-di-Lota -- it's not a problem. The Wifi light flickers a few times, and up comes a map of the village of Pietranera, within the commune of San Martino, on the Route Nationale coast road north of Bastia: a little pin marker labeled Hotel de la Corniche probably five meters from the waterfont. It doesn't make any difference how many times you drive up and down the coast road scrutinizing the shop fronts, the Hotel de la Corniche will not be there.
Eventually you'll give up driving up and down the coast road, scrutinizing, etc., and begin improvising. In the end, it's here, six km up a little road into the mountains of the Cap Corse, at 300m altitude, and extremely beautiful. The first view above is of the church from our room, with the sea beyond, and this one is the Hotel de la Corniche from its carpark.
San-Martino-di-Lota commune seems to cover a lot of local jurisdictions, but evidently this is San-Martino-di-Lota village itself. We've just got time to go round for a look before we plummet back down via Miomo to the coast road and into Bastia for dinner -- our hotel boasts a gourmetish restaurant, but we've arrived on their night off.
As a drizzly evening descends upon us, that's another village across the ravine, probably Figarella, under a mountain called Sta-Maria-di-Lota. Which should not be a surprise.
Bustling downtown San-Martino-di-Lota: church on the left, pizza parlor (summers) on the right.
The famous Café Wha! in the Vieux Port under the Bastia citadel. Kristin (right) is scoping out the menu.
The next day, 29 December, dawns just barely, and drips on San-Martino-di-Lota as we catch up on our reading for a while, and then head out for an unambitious local hike.
Curiosity impels us: we're going to walk out the road -- the "Corniche Supérieure" -- and see what's what to the south.
We've been on the Corniche road (and we'll be on it again), but now we glance back at the San Martino church as we penetrate the dark, wet forests.
Soon enough, a tumultuous cascading river bursting out of its banks argues compellingly that we should go back to the hotel and read our books with a coffee from the bar.
- Just get a move on.
Oh Lord, an ancient Celtic sacrificial stone. There's a creepy atmosphere to the place.
I'm not at my best in bare feet, but it looks like no one's being given a choice. My well-meant cautions about being swept away by the torrent, tumbling bruised and sodden eight hours later out into the Mediterranean, were scoffed at.
One of us is across. Let's hope for the best.
I think I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye. But it's hiding now.
- Catch your shoes.
We're out of the ravine and coming into a village called, well, it's also called San-Martino-di-Lota.
And finally we're able to make some good hiking time out on the Corniche road. Or wall.
A Fujizoom of the church of San-Martino, on the far side of the ravine whence we began, and probably
Figarella on the far side of the next ravine over.
A little village below us, above Pietranera
Pietranera (where Google places our hotel) on the right, and Miomo farther up the coast. The Route National coast road continues scenically through charming villages like Erbalunga and Macinaggio and all the way round the Cap Corse peninsula.
We've turned a corner and we're gazing down now on the ferry port of Bastia, with the Old Port and the Citadelle to the right, and the Étang de Biguglia Ramsar Site stretched out down the coast.
Bastia itsownself in a drizzle, with the Citadelle and Vieux Port dead centre
The mountainous spine of Corsica running southward through the clouds. Bastia's hospital turned out to be on the far side of that forested ridge and not in Bastia at all. Who could have guessed?
Kristin contemplating Bastia before we start loping the 4km or so back for dinner.
The Old Port and the Citadelle -- the hotel we stayed in last time we were here is just left of the Old Port (closed for the season, like nearly everything else). The city hospital turned out to be farther out to the south.
Kristin viewing the Ramsar Site Biguglia from her eyrie.
The Corniche road has splendid views, even in this weather, and is evidently much loved by walkers, joggers, cyclists, and us.
A last look, 4km back up the road, and what's for dinner?

The biggest surprise about the U.S. victory over France in Olympics men's basketball Sunday was that the winners were able to celebrate with Michelle Obama. The first lady had a front-row seat at the game, and, after an uneven first quarter, she was able to see the team improve its play en route to a 98-71 victory.
France has NBA players such as Tony Parker and Nicolas Batum, but it was simply outmatched by the U.S., the favorite to win the gold medal.
Superstars LeBron James and Kevin Durant, in particular, were too much for the French. James finished the game with nine points, five rebounds, and eight assists, while Durant scored 22 points on the way to the win, according to USA Today.
Kevin Love chipped in 14 points as a reserve, and Carmelo Anthony helped with nine points and nine rebounds. Kobe Bryant began what could be his last Olympic Games with a 10-point performance.
The Americans outrebounded the French by a 56-40 margin, but they admitted there were still holes in their game. Like the U.S. women Saturday, the men won their first basketball game by relying on their sheer advantage in talent, but they will have to get better if they want to win the gold medal again.
The U.S. team got into foul trouble during the first half, as they committed 26 fouls. Still, the Americans coasted into halftime with a 52-26 lead.
After the victory, Michelle Obama congratulated each member of the team with a big hug. Even though Obama stands 5 feet 11 inches tall, she looked tiny next to players such as the 6-9 Durant and the 6-8 James.
Obama is from a basketball family, and the president is known for his love of the game (especially the Chicago Bulls). People has reported that the first lady's brother was a star basketball player during his time at Princeton University.
The U.S. squad's next game will be against Tunisia Tuesday.
Watch a video of their postgame celebration here.
