Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
UJA-Federation of New York released $10 million in Hurricane Sandy emergency relief aid to its network agencies and synagogues.
The agency made the funds available on Monday morning; its board of directors had decided unanimously to make the money available in a special session the previous evening.
"The emotional and economic impact, especially on the isolated elderly and the poor, is acute and will remain so for a long time," the agency said in a statement Monday.
UJA-Federation had set up a Hurricane Sandy relief fund shortly after the storm hit on Oct. 29.
The week before Sandy struck the greater New York area, the federation raised a record $45 million at its annual campaign kickoff event.

Efficient Continuous A.C. Arc
Volume 12, Number 2 (May 1958) Page 33-35
Rozsa, J.T.; Uguccini, O.W.
While d.c. arc excitation has been conventional for many types of analysis, the erratic volatilization characteristics have always demanded rigidly standardized methods and an unnecessarily high amount of preliminary development. A high amperage a c. arc (Sustaining Arc) has been developed for maximum output at high electrical efficiency. The unit exhibits the greatest improvement for heavy or refractory elements. In general, background is reduced up to 20%, sensitivity improved by 10 to 30%, and reproducibility enhanced by 30 to 100% over a wide range of materials encountered in a commercial laboratory.

My college kids and I all had to get wisdom teeth out in the same year, all with Dr. Kolodychak. He's one of the best doctors I've ever experienced anywhere. The process was clear and thorough. We knew exactly what to expect. He took the time before and after to explain things -- and he called home to follow up personally after each surgery to see how the patient was doing. His professonalism, knowledge and care for the individual is a model that all doctors should follow!

Great and helpful doctor, who listens to your concerns and questions. Getting my wisdom teeth removed ended up not being a terrifying ordeal thanks to the doctors staff and bedside manor. I would highly recommend this surgeon.

This doctor was excellent. He had the best bedside manner, right up there with Dr. Annon. He should get best Oral Surgeon of the year award. He spoke every detail of what he was going to do with my wisdom teeth and when told that I need something to numb the area before putting in the Novocain shot. He was gentle as well as polite. I would recommend him to anyone.

With the passing of Aaron Spelling and his prolific TV legacy, we thought it would be appropriate to remember a show Spelling both co-created and used to introduce the world to the acting talents of daughter Tori: Beverly Hills, 90210. This seminal high school soap opera took an unflinching look at social issues from gun violence to AIDS to apartheid, all set within the priviliged-but-melodramatic turmoil of America's most exclusive zip code. Since most of the original cast left the show between 1994 and 1998, we decided to split the difference and celebrate the would-be 10-year class reunion of West Beverly High School with the following "then and now" look at some it's most notable alumni.
Name: Dylan McKay/Luke Perry
Then: The personification of early-90′s cool, Dylan McKay might have been West Beverly's most complicated, tortured individual. Equal parts unwilling object of affection and self-destructive loner, Dylan's myriad struggles included domestic dilemmas, romantic turmoil, substance abuse struggles and countless other personality conflicts that somehow just made him all the more mysteriously desiriable.

Cold!!!! ...soon?
They are talking major cold in the next couple of days. Lows in the bay area near freezing- except for island unto itself San Francisco- and mid or even low 20's in the outer bay far from saltwater.
Use cover..save years on plant growth with a little effort. I learned better to do that then leave it all up to chance. Cabo? no worrys. North of that by 700 miles? worry!
Down here in the LA area they've been saying it's coming from the frigid Yukon and highs in the basin to be upper 50's. Mtns from zero to 25 and high desert around teens to low 40's. That means maybe high of 52 for me and lows around 25 I suspect. I've already had frost at least a dozen times and usually it's around 3-4 times any other year. So it's been a cold winter.
Lantana as usual is black already but comes back just fine.
I'm not too worried about anything since everything I put in is fine to 20 but will show a little damage but not die.
We have problems with frozen pipes also. In 2006 I saw neighbors out with a hair dryer. Get the pipe insulation if not already done!
If you turn your heat down at night, leave your cabinets open if any faucets etc on outside walls.
You can replace a plant but you don't want a pipe bursting or water damage...
But today was gorgeous around 70 and sunny.
Hearing that same forecast here, frost even at the beach....but, you know, the temps they're showing don't look to be much different than temps we've already had. I'm more worried about the wind, however, today I'll be bringing more firewood up to the house for sure.
The weather sites aren't agreeing for my local temps. Some outrageous predicted cold- 29f. I know it wont get that cold...to some say no less then 34f. We already dropped to 33 earlier this year. The Brugs hated that. The lows down south seem to be the usual -close to the coast 39f is no big deal.
I agree gypsy. A friend and I always laugh...storm watch live mega doppler 7000 in hd...the first time we hear it every year.
As you can tell by my user name, I mean well (I grew up in Midwest farm country) but I'm clueless about how to protect plants when temps are as low as they're forecasting in the near East Bay (Castro Valley). My bougainvilleas are "iron men" - they're old and experienced & I never worry; but what I AM worrying about is my pot of just-planted-the seeds-in-October California Poppies. What do I do to protect them if the temps go down as low as predicted?? Please - be kind, but be specific. [See "clueless", above] Thanks!!
California poppies get frozen every year at my house in the high desert. We routinely get down into the 20s and as long as there's water, they come up in the spring. Even the little seedlings that sprout in my borders each fall get frozen and pop right back to life.
tropical thought: 8-D I laughed so hard (while doing the "I coulda hadda V-8" smack in the head) that I almost hurt myself. GOOD POINT! (duh)
cj2015: Thank you for the reassurance! I guess I don't have to worry so much about my baby seedlings after all.
Great responses! Thanks so much!
Sat morn- coldest so far. 34,35 here around the home. Inland a few miles the extra few degree's colder left Pleasanton a frozen wonderland. One of the huge business parks that waters a 2-3 acres of mounding,hilly lawn no matter what? It looked just like a Christmas card. Just add sled.
I think- as usual- those who live in frost free zones are just colder then normal,and those who get a freeze almost every winter..just a few more. Its the rest of us in between who chose to plant marginal frost needy plants that are out there covering. The last time was five years ago and worse. So,I can live with blankets,old towels,and car wash cloths on my small tropicals for a few days.
It could be worse.
No discernable damage here, but I no longer have things to worry about running out and covering. I think even when I was out there at midnight, running around covering stuff up that it was needless. We shall see what tonight brings....supposed to be colder. You can really see the microclimates here. Two properties down the road from us lies lower and the new owners have planted bananas, hibiscus, bougies, etc. in the lowest spot on their property....sigh. The house down behind us will have frost on her roof and no frost here. Only gardeners would understand that that's a good selling point when we're ready to list our house...lol..
Our plants are all border gardens along the walls and fences/patio - so far they seem OK as the heat of the sun during the day has been stored in the solid material and radiates back out at night. However tonight it is supposed to be 28F, I am not sure if I should cover my Meyer lemon, thai lime, and the Sun Parasols (mandevilla hybrid, hardier)? This is our first winter here and all the plants were put in last June.
It wasn't a bust in the bay area. But,it wasn't 2007 bad. Funny but in my area we had the Great Freeze's of 1972- a low of 18f,1990 a low of 24f,1998,a low of 28f,2007, a low of 30f...and 2012...31f. And the USDA moved us from 9b in 1990 to a 10a in 2012. And we held at 10a.
What does that data mean? wink wink...
I think we had about 18 or so days of high 20's at night last winter, and closing in on 12 pretty soon now this winter. One of my indicators is if the hummingbird feeder freezes! I lost all my orchids and most of my succulents last year. My epi's came through with flying colors, as did my fuchsia and my irises. I was really sad about losing my succulents, as I'd had them a long time and come through many cold winters - but not THIS cold. So, new area, new plants to love.
This year, I built a cold frame out of pvc and heavy clear tarp (which will be modified for next winter) and nothing in it has frozen. All the Thanksgiving and Christmas cactus are in there. They're kinda red from the cold, but they're not dying at all. My senecio have kicked the bucket, however. No more for me. I have a gift cymbidium out there too, we'll see how it does. If it lives, I'll get more. If it dies, no more of them for me. I will not go out in the pitch dark and fling covers on top of things, they're going to have to be sturdy enough to live without my coddling them.
Nothing froze at my house except for my banana trees, and I thought they were supposed to be cold hardy. Should I cut them down now?
All my senecios survived very well, and I got no damage on any citrus, papayas, white sapote, or cherimoya, and the cherimoy is quite tall now, but beside the house instead of in the back yard like the banana trees. All my orchids did fine also, including oncidiums and dendrobiums, which are in a protected shelving area that I built for them. I lowered the blind on the northeast side to protect them from wind, and they have a solid wall on the northwest side. My house is 45 degrees from NS orientation.
My papayas are small and in a pot, and so I think I will have to be careful where I put them when I have to transplant them. I may keep them in a wine barrel planter to insure proper drainage and protected location. I don't think we should be having weather like this, however, but then I lived in Venice from 1994 to 2009.

To my last post I added the comment that the qualities single-handed sailors had in common were determination and perseverance. On Wednesday evening I met Jeanne Socrates. I haven't changed my mind.
The Folksong 'Harrier'
In a recent post, Bill Serjeant has reminded us of his Folksong (Zeta), which he passed on to Julian Mustoe. The latter bought her for a specific voyage, totally rebuilding her coach roof and renaming her Harrier. It's Bill's story and I will let him tell it – (link below).
'Ethel May' – a great grand-daughter remembers
The following arrived during the week:
"I was thrilled to find, by chance in your collection, a photo of my Great Grandfather's boat. The Ethel May was built at Rhyl, North Wales, in 1878 (65 tons) owned by John Kearney of Co. Down. I am assuming it was a schooner? My Great Grandfather, Richard Coppack was her captain. My Aunt was named after the boat, although she always felt it should have been the other way around.
Both of my mother's grandparents were mariners, one a river pilot on the Dee. The Coppacks were mariners of Connah's Quay on the North Wales coast. During a hurricane (!) in November 1890 (The Times 12th November 1890) my Great Grandfather drowned, having been washed overboard whilst his boat was being rescued.
I have a pair of binoculars which belong either to Richard or my other Great Grandfather, Stephen. Sadly, my mother cannot remember which (she is 101). I found your website as I am trying to track Richard Coppack down. He is on the census of 1881 on the 'George Evans' in Cardigan and prior to that in Whitehaven on a "vessel". I would love to know more about what he was doing there, his cargo etc.
From the photo, it looks like it could have been taken in Liverpool, on the Mersey. I hope you've found this interesting? It was amazing to find the photo, out of the blue. Sadly, I have no photographs of my great grandparents."
In my reply I included the following:
"Hearing from those who have connections with the various vessels I have published was one of the very reasons for doing so. The vessels do have an inherent beauty but it is the people who are associated with them that seem to me as important – not just the captain and crew, but their families – and what we, their descendants, have learnt from them. The collective memories not only come from inherited objects, like your binoculars, but in the knowledge, skills and attitudes they passed down through their families. (Their genes too – it certainly sounds as if your mother inherited a definite toughness!)"
I am not alone in thinking this. These photographs are now online, but, paradoxically, they are becoming rarer. The personal notes written on the back of the actual photographs are sketchy. Those who wrote them, whether they sailed in or merely observed the vessels in question, are no longer with us. But their descendants are and the slim, half-remembered, threads that run through the generations still speak to us.
If these photographs bring back memories or even create new ones, then they will have served their purpose. If you want to take it further, feel free – "from many threads . . ."
In the meantime, if you know about Richard Coppack, 'George Evans' in Cardigan or the "vessel" in Whitehaven, let me know.
This and other photographs of merchant sailing vessels can be found here.
A short cycle ride
We cycled along the bank of the Rive Exe in the afternoon – a gentle preliminary for a longer ride planned for next month. The tide was low revealing the wide mud flats and the winding channel.. We stopped at the Turf for a coffee before going on towards Exeter.
Brush strokes – good enough – sometimes
Blue Mistress is slowly coming together.
Because we won't be back in the water before Easter, I have had time to tackle the planned jobs and some unplanned ones as well – like painting the floors of the quarter berths.
I now know why I avoided this for so long. It meant forcing my 42 inch chest five feet down two 38 inch holes – cleaning, sanding and then one, two, three coats – shoulders hunched, arms outstretched, pushing an open paint-pot before me, having to work out how to use my right hand accurately and then how to worm my way backwards without touching the fresh paint.
Vanuatu – Cyclone Pam
The New Zealand Herald has a report from one of their reporters in Vanuatu this morning – here. The video clip shows the destruction in Port Vila. Sadly, there has been loss of life. I understand wind speeds were in the 300km/h mark.
Yesterday, Webb Chiles carried a photograph of the damage in the harbour and a first hand description of the harbour itself – here
Speak up for the horses
You carefully pilot your ship into harbour at the top of the tide. You wait until the tide goes out and there is clear ground around the ship. Then you bring the horse and a cart to offload into. The cargo is heavy – coal, or slag, so you harness two horses in tandem to haul the load across the beach and up to the stores.
Greek fishing craft: detail – a new page
I have added another page to the Maritime History menu – Greek fishing craft: detail.
This small collection of images were taken over the period of a decade, mainly in Crete but also the Peloponnese in the south west and the Pelion on the east coast of the Greek mainland.
Dinghy – a brief encounter
As we walked past I glanced up and thought, "That's a fine-looking dinghy."
And then, "That's an interesting way of stowing it."
Same walk, different view
We walked down to the Prince of Wales Pier in Falmouth and took the ferry to Flushing. From there we walked to Mylor Bridge, then along the water's edge to Restronguet. My companions saw the daffodils, the camellia, the fading snowdrops and the unfolding daffodils, the Cornish violets and the yellow gorse. I saw . . .

Introducing a Special Issue on the Reinvention of Food
From the Editor, Fall 2014
As the parent of a three-year-old, I find myself confronted by issues around proper diet and eating habits on a regular basis. From what I have heard from friends and colleagues who are also parents of small children, picky eating is rampant among the American toddler set.

Welcome to 2014 and the first issue of Gastronomica: The Journal of Critical Food Studies
From the Editor, Winter 2013
The past few months since the last issue of Gastronomica went to press have been exciting ones in the world of food.
Editor's Letter, Fall 2013
This year marks the release of the tenth anniversary edition of Marion Nestle's pathbreaking Food Politics. I am pleased that this issue of Gastronomica features an interview with Professor Nestle.

Sitting down to write a letter as the new editor of Gastronomica is a thrilling, and perhaps somewhat terrifying, experience.

I am writing to the converted. You are already a fan of this fine journal. Far from being members of a cult or a narrow coterie, we are a large and diverse group who have in common the love of food, good writing, art, and craft.
A Lovely Ride
Twelve years ago, nearly to the day, I sat down to write my first editor's letter for Gastronomica. I was bursting with plenty to say, though I didn't quite know how to begin. I feel the same way today.
Flavors of Ireland
When our daughter was little, she loved hearing legends of the selkie girls, mermaid-like creatures who inhabit the waters off the Irish coast. Sleek as seals in the sea, they shed their skin once captured and turn into humans on land, yet they always long to return to the deep.

How About a FOUR Billion Dollar Solution?
Gleaned from today's Chicago Tribune (10/03/08 Page 35):
Business columnist David Greising reports on an idea to offer $1000 per mortgage to mortgage services firms to renegotiate salvageable delinquent mortgages.
The FDIC says two-thirds of IndyMac's 60,000 delinquent mortgages are eligible for renegotiation. Credit Suisse says 6.5 million homes will enter foreclosure through 2012. Two thirds of 6.5 X $1000 = 4 billion dollars.
This sounds better and more useful to me than a 7 billion blank check with no requirements or incentives for mortgage firms to do squat. If the feds pay $1000 per and the firms rescue what would have been a $100,000 write-off, doesn't everybody, including the homeowner, win?
Wouldn't it shore up banks to be able to keep those viable mortgages? Not have to try to sell the foreclosed-upon houses for dirt? Wouldn't it shrink the inventory of homes for sale and help move the housing market into a better place?
Not saying it solves *everything*; does the 700 bill do that?
(Sorry for saying '7 billion'. You know I meant 700.)
They don't want to keep them. They need to sell them.
And, no...it does nothing to shore up the bank's capital positions.
To work out of the distressed loans will take months (if not years). We are having an immediate problem & need an immediate solution (at least a solution that everybody trusts).
Ben/Henry Capital is not yet open for business but they have been seen bringing in the furniture...
Hopefully, that'll be enough to unclog the system (I've got serious doubts...I'm afraid we're a day late & a dollar short).
There's a perception problem as much (or more) than an actual liquidity crisis. Our financial engine runs on trust. The tank is empty.
I got this solution in my email the other day. The Birk plan. How does this sound? ;)
Hi Pals,
I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.
Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.
To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.
Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.
So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00
My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.
Of course, it would NOT be tax free.
So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.
Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.
That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.
But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.
A husband and wife have $595,000.00.
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?
Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads
Put away money for college - it'll be there
Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
Buy a new car - create jobs
Invest in the market - capital drives growth
Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves
Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else
Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.
If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.
If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!
As for AIG - liquidate it. Sell off its parts.
Let American General go back to being American General.
Sell off the real estate.
Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.
Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."
But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!
How do you spell Economic Boom?
I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion
We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC
And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.
It's just an experiment:
September 18, 2008
Zillion, Trillion, Billion, Million...What's A Few Zeros Among Friends
You know the old saying, "You do the math."
Well in my little experiment today, I wanted to see how many people really do do the math. So I sent the message below to 100 of my pals at random. I wanted to see how many folks would catch my intentional three-digit error...just three little zeros.
So far only 2 people have actually done the math and let me know about it.
Congratulations Rick Steinberg and Derrick Phillips! They got it right. When you divide 200,000,000 people into $85 Billion you get $425.00 NOT $425,000.00. It would take $85 Trillion to get the $425,000 number.
So what's my point? We are all number numb. And, very few people, even really smart folks rarely do the math. So in this election year - when numbers like billions and millions are flying by - it's best to keep a calculator handy! And if it sounds too good to be true...it's always best to do the math.
That's All Folks! Well, not quite...just for the record, I'm still not in favor of bailing out AIG.
Here's the message below as sent:
Hi Pals,

Our population is about 301 million counting every man, woman and child. So, 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up. Now, divide 200 million, 18+ adults into $85 billon - that equals $425,000.00 each! Yes, my plan is to give that $425,000 to every adult as a "We Deserve It" dividend.
Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So, letÂs assume a tax rate of 30%. Every would pay $127,500.00 in taxes. That sends $25.5 billion right back to Uncle Sam! It also means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket. A husband and wife would have $595,000.00!
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00?
· Pay off your mortgage  housing crisis solved
· Repay college loans  what a great boost to new grads
· Put away money for college  itÂll really be there
· Save in a bank  create money to loan to entrepreneurs
· Buy a new car  create jobs
· Invest in the market  capital drives growth
· Pay for your parentÂs medical insurance  health care improves
· Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean  or else
Remember this is for every adult U.S. citizen, 18 and older (including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehmann Brothers and every other company that is cutting back) and of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.
If weÂre going to re-distribute wealth letÂs really do it! Instead of trickling out a puny $1,000.00 ("vote buy") economic incentive.
If weÂre going to do an $85 billion bailout, letÂs bail out every adult U.S. citizen!!
As for AIG Â liquidate it.
· Sell off its parts.
· Let American General go back to being American General.
· Sell off the real estate.
· Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
We deserve the money and AIG doesnÂt. Sure itÂs a crazy idea that can "never work," but can you imagine the coast-to-coast block party?!
How do you spell Economic Boom? W-e D-e-s-e-r-v-e I-t d-i-v-i-d-e-n-d! I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion "We Deserve It" dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington, D.C..
And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 billion because $25.5 billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.
Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.
Kindest personal regards,
T. J. Birkenmeier, A Creative Guy & Citizen of the Republic
I think one of the biggest problems is that wall street has done a lousy job convincing main street that their health is interdependent. Your average truck driver or waitress sees absolutely no connection between his or her life and what happens on wall street. They see wall street scandals in the news and never any news about how wall street's money being the driver for bringing jobs or products to them. At this point, wall street has collectively ruined its credibility with main street, so even when the President (another example of not having the credibility he ought to have) tells us its a good deal for main street it is disbelieved.
Perception IS reality, and if you don't manage perceptions reality will turn ugly. A lesson wall street is learning too late. That should be "re-learning", but I am skeptical it was ever learned in the first place.
If the SEC or overturns mark-to-market accounting rules, move to Canada. Without market prices being the value of an asset that is for sale, you're left with the "wishful thinking" value of an asset. It would be like if I said that I since I paid $500K for my house, it is now worth $500K plus inflation, never mind if it was in Vegas or somewhere where there's no way I could ever sell it for more than $300K.
To my alarm, the SEC has taken small steps toward this: companies no longer have to consider the market price if the market transactions didn't occur as an "arms length" transactions. Going back to my house in vegas analogy, it means that you magically go back in time to before the foreclosures and use the market value from back then as what you would be allowed to pretend your house is worth.
What a bunch of hogwash. Pretending assets are worth more than they are is just going to make the financial fallout (cleanup, bailout, what have you) that much more expensive. $700 Billion is a pipsqueak in a $10 trillion dollar market.
I'm concerned about eliminating the mark to market accounting as well. Right now banks don't maintain houses after they foreclose (no lawn cutting, no HOA fees, no taxes, no security, etc). Without mark to market, banks will have even less motivation to move these properties.
A house could be on their books for $1,000,000 but the declining market and thieves stealing appliances, copper wiring and piping could mean the market value is really $100,000. If the bank sells it they would get $100,000 but they would have to write off $1,000,000. So we could expect many more "foreclosure" houses to be left abandon.
The gov't hasn't made any purchases yet with their bailout package but let's say the the gov't is willing to purchase the security that owns that house for $.75 on the $. Now the gov't will give them $750,000 for the house worth $100,000 so it may sit there indefinately.
Regarding house evaluation...they are worth at least the value of the raw commodities (ex: lumber/steel/copper pipe) not including the labor rates of construction in a given geographic region and is in good condition as chrisdoc alluded to.
They are only worth that full value to an individual who does not need to have a mortgage; does not need employment; can easily pay the local city/State taxes; does not need government services; efficiently uses energy and the residence is not located in a war zone.
Now we need a formula for indexing offsets....lol

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
25 Jan 2011 15:26 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Egypt, Kuwait, Tunisia
Inspired by Tunisian demonstrators, thousands of Egyptian protesters on Tuesday gathered in Cairo and other major cities, calling for reforms and demanding the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak, Al Jazeera's correspondents have reported.
The anti-government protesters, some hurling rocks and climbing atop an armoured police truck, were chanting slogans against Mubarak, who has ruled the country for three decades.
Downtown Cairo came to a standstill with protesters chanting slogans against the police, the interior minister and the government, in scenes that the capital has not seen since the 1970s.
Demonstrators marched toward what Al Jazeera's Rawya Rageh called the "symbols of their complaints and their agony," the headquarters of the ruling National Democratic Party, the foreign ministry and the state television.
But police responded with blasts from a water cannon and set upon crowds with batons and acrid clouds of tear gas to clear demonstrators crying out "Down with Mubarak'' and demanding an end to the country's grinding poverty.
At least 30 people have reportedly been arrested in Cairo, according to official sources.
Protests also broke out in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, the Nile Delta cities of Mansura and Tanta and in the southern cities of Aswan and Assiut, witnesses said.
Earlier on Tuesday, Rageh reported from the protests, calling them "unprecedented" in the leniency showed by security forces who allowed demonstrators to march through the capital.
The Egyptian government had earlier warned activists hoping to emulate Tunisian pro-democracy protesters that they faced arrest if they went ahead with Tuesday's mass demonstrations, which some labelled the "Day of wrath".
Promoted Online
The rallies have been promoted online by groups saying they speak for young Egyptians frustrated by the kind of poverty and oppression which triggered the overthrow of Tunisia's president.
Mamdouh Khayrat, 23, travelled from the governorate of Qalubiya to attend protests in Cairo. He spoke to Al Jazeera's Adam Makary. "We want a functioning government, we want Mubarak to step down, we don't want emergency law, we don't want to live under this kind of oppression anymore," he said.
"Enough is enough, things have to change, and if Tunisia can do it, why can't we?" Khayrat added.
Mohamed Ahmed, 36, a demonstrator from Boulaq told Al Jazeera's Makary: "We might be trying to copy what happened in Tunisia. If Egyptians manage to even come close to what they did then I can proudly say today was successful but we still have a long way to do."
"The reaction [to join the protest] has been overwhelming," Rageh said. "The people we have seen taken to the streets today are not the 50 or 60 activists that we have been seeing protesting in Egypt for the past five or six years. These were normal Egyptians, older women, younger men, even children."
A day of revolution
Black-clad riot police, backed by armoured vehicles and fire engines, have been deployed in a massive security operation in Cairo, with the biggest concentrations and likely flashpoints, including: the Cairo University campus, the central Tahrir Square and the courthouse where protesters are said to be gathering. Coinciding with a national holiday in honour of the police, a key force in keeping president Mubarak in power for 30 years, the outcome in Egypt on Tuesday is seen as a test on whether vibrant Web activism can translate into street action.
Organisers have called for a "day of revolution against torture, poverty, corruption and unemployment".
"Activists said they wanted to use this particular day to highlight the irony of celebrating Egypt's police at a time when police brutality is making headlines," reported Rawya Rageh, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Cairo.
"In fact, the call originated from a Facebook page initially set up to honour a 28-year-old man from Alexandria who activists say was tortured to death by police.
"Witnesses are telling us that there are hundreds on the streets. This is an indication that the protests seem so far to be larger than the usual protests that have taken place here in Egypt over the past few years."
Banned demonstrations"The security apparatus will deal firmly and decisively with any attempt to break the law," the government's director for security in the capital Cairo said in a statement released ahead of the protests.
Since Egypt bans demonstrations without prior permission, opposition groups say they have been denied such permits, any protesters may be detained.
Habib el-Adli, the interior minister, has issued orders to "arrest any persons expressing their views illegally".
"I tell the public that this Facebook call comes from the youth," Adli said in an interview published by the state-owned newspaper al Ahram.
"Youth street action has no impact and security is capable of deterring any acts outside the law," he said, adding that he welcomed "stationary protests held for limited periods of time" and that police would protect the protesters.
"Beginning of the end""Our protest on the 25th is the beginning of the end," wrote organisers of a Facebook group with 87,000 followers. "It is the end of silence, acquiescence and submission to what is happening in our country. It will be the start of a new page in Egypt's history, one of activism and demanding our rights."
Rights watchdog Amnesty International has urged Egypt's authorities "to allow peaceful protests".
Protests in Egypt, the biggest Arab state and a keystone Western ally in the Middle East, tend to be poorly attended and are often quashed swiftly by the police, who prevent marching.
The banned Muslim Brotherhood, seen as having Egypt's biggest grassroots opposition network, has not called on members to take part but said some would join in a personal capacity.
Organisers have called for protesters to not display political or religious affiliations at demonstrations. The Facebook page says: "Today is for all Egyptians."
Commenting on the wave of public unrest in Tunisia, Adli, the interior minister, said talk that the "Tunisian model" could work in other Arab countries was "propaganda" and had been dismissed by politicians as "intellectual immaturity".
"Young people are very excited, and this time there will be much more than any other time," Ahmed Maher, one of the founders of the opposition youth movement said.
"This is going to be a real test of whether online activism in Egypt can translate into real action," Al Jazeera's Rageh reported.
"Anger has been on the rise in Egypt for the past couple of years, but we have seen similar calls fizzle out. The main difference now is that these calls are coming after what happened in Tunisia, which seems to have not only inspired activists, but actually ordinary Egyptians, a dozen of whom we have seen set themselves on fire in copycat self-immolations similar to the one that had sparked the uprising in Tunisia."
Sympathisers across the world have said they plan to protest in solidarity. In Kuwait, security forces detained three Egyptians on Monday for distributing flyers for the protests, while large demonstrations have also been planned outside the Egyptian embassies in Washington, DC, and London.

Comments about Gibraltar L-Rod Chrome Tom Mount with Memory Lock:
I bought one of these several years ago to convert my double tom mount to a single tom mount and to eliminate the suspension mount on my 12x8 tom. Not only did I get a better ergonomic setup with distance between snare drum and rack tom, but I got a stronger mount with no vibration. Although the Ludwig tom is small, it is 8-ply, 8mm thick and is heavy! The mount worked perfectly.
Now, I have a second, lighter Tama bop set with the same size tom but the tom is too close to the snare drum because of the shallower bass drum. I bought my second Gibraltar tom mount for better placement of the tom, farther away from the snare drum. As expected, the Gibralter mount works perfectly. The mount is small, fits any angle or position I want, and is extremely strong. The memory lock works perfectly. Gibraltar did their homework on this one!
Comments about Gibraltar L-Rod Chrome Tom Mount with Memory Lock:
Picked up 4 of these when I switched to suspension mounts for my 6 ply Ludwgs. Those dums are heavy! So far the mounts have held up quite well. No problems with loosening during play even on the 10x15 tom. Did have some trouble fitting the locks to a DW 12.7mm arm. The locks do fit but can be tricky to get the screw started.
Comments about Gibraltar L-Rod Chrome Tom Mount with Memory Lock:
I haven't found an L-Rod that this clamp won't attach to. It's easy to use. The product is great.

Upgrading from Windows Mobile 5 to WM6 - The UpgradeWe show you how to give your Windows Mobile 2005 device a new lease of life with a FREE upgrade to WM6!
The Upgrade
So, now we're ready to proceed with the upgrade procedure itself. Connect your phone to your PC via a USB cable, make sure the battery is charged up and you're pretty much set to go. Double-click the firmware upgrade and once it's loaded, hit next. This will put the phone into service mode where it will then extract the files and prepare itself for the firmware upgrade. Depending on how big the upgrade is (as the files will vary in size depending on the manufacturer and what software they supply) this part can take different amounts of time.
Don't worry if the screen on your device looks strange, the HTC devices will have a red, green, blue and grey bar across the screen alongside with some text. This is perfectly normal. After a little while you should see a screen similar to the one below if you've got a HTC device, it might differ for other manufacturers' devices. Again, click next to proceed.
Now, there might be a list of things that you need to check before you continue, although we've covered most of the important ones already. Again, this will differ between various manufacturers. After clicking next here, you have to wait a little while again while the software upgrade checks that your phone is using the right language and so forth, as you can't cross install language versions. This might be bad news for those that wanted to install their own local language files, but if you have a look around online, you'll find ways about how this can be done.
Finally you're ready to proceed with the update by oddly enough pressing the Update button. You'll of course have to press next one more time, just to make sure you're sure that you really want to proceed with the upgrade.
If you own a HTC device you'll also get a dialogue box that tells you what will happen during the installation procedure, have a quick read and press next to continue. This is when the scary part starts, as this is when the upgrade process actually initiates. You'll get a progress bar on your PC as well as on the device. It should take about 10 minutes on a reasonably fast computer, although this does again come down to how many extra applications, pictures, video and audio files the manufacturer supplies for the device.
Once the upgrade process has finished, your phone will reboot and you're greeted by a pristine device in all its glory running Windows Mobile 6. From here on you have to set it up as you would with a new device and enter all the various settings you want it to use. We can't offer any screenshots here, as it's like doing a hard reset on the device, so any software would've been wiped off. Once you've gone through the basic setup, the device will load up any custom settings and applications from your device manufacturer.
