I have just read the reviews for many electric jugs. In my opinion all are substandard at retaining the heat in the water.
The amount of power used can be halved if they insulated the jug. This would make them quieter as well.
The standards set by the reviewers is below standard, That is the amount of electricity to boil one liter of water is always going to be the same what differs is the amount of heat lost during and after the process.
As it stands now stainless steel is out as the amount of heat lost is unacceptable to the point of being dangerous to touch them. Plastic is much more efficient but they all could do much better.
We as consumers need to expect and set higher standards for all goods.

Respect and denial
Some years ago I was invited to a white man's corroboree on a borra ring in Gundagai which I promptly refused. On the day this was to happen I left town and headed for Holbrook some hundred miles to the south all the time the hairs were standing on my back. Shivers invaded my body even though it was warm. I stayed there til dusk and slowly made my way back.
That would be like me going into the catholic church and having a corroboree stamping the floor til the dust rose.
When the sun fell from the horizon the skies above Gundagai lit up like the devils Calderon, Feeling some sort of nervousness which I can not explain even to this day, I was stopped in my tracks so to speak and had to stop the car. Watching from a distance of fifty miles to the south of town I waited til late into the night. Before the lights dissipated. This was long after the sun had gone and the stars were shining on a cool crisp night. The following day I found my dog dead having been hit with a car I forgot to take him with me. Another dog replaced him and was killed on the exact same spot.
Now this was before I found about my aboriginal heritage, even things from early in my life now start to make sense.
As a child of about four I was playing with deadly brown snake babies with my gentle touch I had no fear. Then there was the time when a wild stallion came to the house yard trying to take the mares. He bolted into the home paddock and stopped inches from me and rared up swinging his hooves about me.
My uncle who was a fantastic horseman could not move the stallion from over me and was so afraid I would have been trampled by this giant of a horse.
Then I am told about what happens to white child who was borne to a black family , they were promptly adopted out. I was darker than my siblings and was called the black sheep of the family to my face., Also I was told that I had to live up to my surname shit my name was my name. I had to live up to myself, The impossible and ridiculous goals I had set for me.
Since the parting of my parents I have got one phone call in ten years from my siblings, and this was to tell me to ring my adopted cousin as my aunt had died.
Respect and denial has been a part of my life for many years.
This from the "positive one" another name I was called.
I guess that I have now been enlightened and will never look back.

offensive language
As we all know Jesus was an educated man, some in life do not get that chance because of the country or the place they live in . Maybe they were poor in money. Here in Australia there was a court case bought against a man with limited vocabulary by the police, The case ran for quite some time as to the use offensive language. The court decided that it was not offensive to use the word phuck spelt with a "F"as this word is in everyday use. This word is :- a noun verb adjective pronoun and all the others.
So to answers.com and others get with the times it is here to stay and stay it will. I personally try not to use it, It is the word for the uneducated or lazy whom have no other way of expressing them selves. It is not illegal in Australia to use this word in public.

Wiki answers Is god new
This has been modified so as not to offend wiki answers but here I will say what I like because I am the boss here.Who the phuck is this bloke Mikipedia. I have read his online resume and I know the truth! I know you have some extremely dark and weird secrets,But on the surface you are the perfect gentleman. I and God knows different. If you don't like my answers or questions who are you to say that my Answers or Questions are misleading or in his words deliberately providing misinformation. Maybe it is Mikipedia that is bullying and providing misinformation because what he reads is not to his taste and it offends him. I have had personal dealings with a person like you before and I would take my children from your care if you had anything to do with them. More will be revealed in your local news paper in time to come this is my forcast call it a preminition if you like.
This will be posted to http://starshipchurch.blogspot.com/ so as to be available to all who wish to read what I have to say. I will repeat it here "is god new?"
This all came about when I read on google search for the letter "G"
then wikipedia said the following.
History
The letter 'G' was introduced in the Old Latin period as a variant of ⟨c⟩ to distinguish voiced, /ɡ/ from voiceless, /k/. The recorded originator of ⟨g⟩ is freedman Spurius Carvilius Ruga, the first Roman to open a fee-paying school, who taught around 230 BC. At this time ⟨k⟩ had fallen out of favor, and ⟨c⟩, which had formerly represented both /ɡ/ and /k/ before open vowels, had come to express /k/ in all environments.Ruga's positioning of ⟨g⟩ shows that alphabetic order, related to the letters' values as Greek numerals, was a concern even in the 3rd century BC. Sampson (1985) suggests that: "Evidently the order of the alphabet was felt to be such a concrete thing that a new letter could be added in the middle only if a 'space' was created by the dropping of an old letter."[2] According to some records, the original seventh letter, ⟨z⟩, had been purged from the Latin alphabet somewhat earlier in the 3rd century BC by the Roman censor Appius Claudius, who found it distasteful and foreign.[3]
Eventually, both velar consonants /k/ and /ɡ/ developed palatalized allophones before front vowels; consequently in today's Romance languages, ⟨c⟩ and ⟨g⟩ have different sound values depending on context. Because of French influence, English orthography shares this feature.
Now all I did was ask "Is god new"? If there is no"G" then how can there be a god or was his name before this OD! We are talking about the word god nothing else
I knew this was going to happenThe thing is I don't care to be bullied if the following was said then I would not have done anything and reworded my question to is the word GOD new?
After it was all over I get this in my message board,a reasonable and good reason as to what I have done wrong...
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, and to provide theirs as legitimate answers to opinion-based questions. (Which you did properly in, "Is there a living God?")
To post a question such as, "Is god new?" and then justify one's answer with a digression into the phonemes that make up the sound 'g-o-d' goes beyond opinion; it attempts to portray one's position as a fact. (Never mind that the Latin word for God, Deus, is still widely used in many languages, including the English word 'deity'.)
And apparently you never bothered to click the link to the cyberbullying policy in my previous message; calling me out, as you've done on both my message board and your own (not to mention your creative way of spelling expletives) is a direct violation of same. You were warned twice; consider this account suspended.

Fresh meat
We in the western world could learn from this including the generosity of the farmer letting him keep the meat.

Drink your bacon
In Australia we buy bacon with that much water in it you can drink it. Like all other meats from the supermarkets all wrapt in nappies to absorb the water.
You know what is real crap "poached bacon". I will have to live on road kill because it is fresher and is'nt full of water. I learnt this from utube channel at

Tracking in the Australian bush was taught to me by my uncle Tiny. I was told to look for something that wasn't there listen for something that made no sound.And to smell for something with no odour. These words still ring loudly in my ears.Then I reads in one of Michael Neils emails this from china.
As it says in the Tao Te Ching:
Look and it can't be seen
Listen and it can't be heard
Reach and it can't be grasped.
Nothings new!
