The Iranian nuclear threat is not just a Jewish issue but could be a major factor -- and an unpredictable one -- for the general electorate in this year's presidential contest, according to William Kristol, a leading Jewish conservative intellectual.
"I won't be surprised to see Israeli action against Iran this summer, and that is a total wild card," Kristol, founder of The Weekly Standard, said during an April 11 talk in Center City.
The staunch critic of President Barack Obama's Mideast policies said that if Israel does strike and Obama backs the Jewish state, "it might end up helping him. If it does go well, people may think" he did the right thing and "Iran's nuclear program was set back, what's the problem?"
Then again, it could prove a foreign-policy disaster for the administration, said Kristol.
Kristol, the son of the pioneering neoconservative thinker Irving Kristol and a onetime chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle, sized up the presidential contest in a talk to about 60 members of the David Horowitz Philadelphia Freedom Center, a local group named after the onetime left winger who is now a firebrand conservative activist.
The event took place at the Union League of Philadelphia a day after former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum dropped out of the Republican presidential race, unofficially ushering in the general election campaign between Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
Kristol, 59, is a founder of the Emergency Committee for Israel, a group that has taken a leading role in attacking Obama and the Democrats on Israel. Craig Snider, founder and director of the Philly Horowitz center, credited the committee with helping Republican Pat Toomey defeat Democrat Joe Sestak in the 2010 Pennsylvania Senate race by running a series of negative print and television ads against Sestak.
Despite his partisan perspective, Kristol said that the current climate offers a "slight edge" to Obama, with the incumbent having a reasonable shot at getting 50 percent to 51 percent of the vote. Democrats, he noted, have won three out of five presidential elections -- and won the popular vote but lost the race in a fourth --since the end of the Cold War.
Romney, he said, needs to make the election about the future and would do his campaign and the party a huge favor by focusing less on his business experience and offering more concrete ideas on how to grow the economy.
In addition to Iran, Kristol pointed to several unknown factors that could throw the race for a loop. One is the U.S. Supreme Court's expected June decision on the health care law, Obama's signature legislative achievement.
He also said that the Wisconsin recall election in June of Gov. Scott Walker -- who has clashed bitterly with unions representing state workers -- could be a real bellwether for the national electorate.
If Walker holds on to his job, Kristol said, "that would be a good sign that the electorate remains close to where it was in 2010" when the Republicans took back the House of Representatives. "If they take Scott Walker out for doing, really, what everyone ran on in 2010, I think it's a bad sign."
It's almost unheard of in an election year, he concluded, "to have a major Supreme Court decision, a major recall election and a major foreign-policy crisis all conceivably coming to a head between the end of the primaries and the conventions."

Are your classroom management skills unraveling as the year goes along? Follow these four steps to make a new start after spring break that will take you to the end of the year.
Student teachers and new teachers often say that they love teaching, adore the students, and have mastered the subject material. It's classroom management that keeps them up at night, especially after spring break. While much has been written about classroom management, it remains a challenge for new and experienced teachers and may be the toughest as the school year is starting to wind down. Try these four steps to make your classroom a productive place until the last bell rings.
Step 1: Reorganize the room.
A well-organized room has a place for everything, and everything should be in its place. When the students leave for spring break, look around your room and decide if the room arrangement can be improved for better management. It may be time for some spring housecleaning.
Group work is a powerful tool, and placing students at tables where they can talk is important for group work. However, by this time of year, the students know each other so well that they will always talk when they face each other, so have students facing the front at the start of the day and whenever you are delivering instruction. Leave enough space between desks that you can walk around and monitor students. Log in or become a member to read more!

Winston to Win Heisman by Historic Margin
Can "Famous Jameis" get even more famous? Florida State?s star quarterback has been making headlines for his legal situation, but more importantly for his stellar performance on the football field. He led the Seminoles to an undefeated season and he will lead them in the BCS National Championship game next month.
StiffArmTrophy.com measures voting margins for the Heisman Trophy based on the percentage of points possible. In 2005, Reggie Bush, USC running back, won the trophy (it was later taken away from him) and he had 2,541 points out of the possible 2,769, or 91.77%.? The following year, Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith racked up 91.63% of points possible, marked as the second-highest margin of victory.
Since these two winners, no other Heisman winner has earned more than 86 percent of possible points. This year, Winston is said to rank among the top 3 all-time voting margin, with a projected 95.2% possible points. He is the only candidate who has dominated in a consistent and efficient way to lead his undefeated team to the national title contest.
The one thing that stands in the way of Winston?s win is the choice of SEC voters. SEC favorites like Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron and Auburn running back Tre Mason are big contenders who may steal votes from Winston.
The Heisman Trust no longer allows voters to share their ballots before the announcement so fans have to rely on stats and predictions for Saturday?s trophy winner, who will be announced this Saturday on ESPN.
The last ACC player to win the Heisman was Florida State QB Chris Weinke back in 2000.

Luong Hai Ky Noodle House
My brothers are obsessed with noodle soup places. A tip from mmm-yoso alerted me that Luong Hai Ky had once again reopened its location on Convoy, so this past weekend I took the family there.
I haven't been inside since Luong Hai Ky closed and became Phat. When we went inside, everything looked exactly the same, down the the fishtanks and fish.
There is a special for the grand opening, where the pho is buy 2 get 1 free, but no one was interested in pho.
I ordered the duck noodle soup after my brothers had raved about it when they had it at the Mira Mesa location. There was a good amount of duck pieces in my soup, though I found the roasted duck to be a little salty. I got mine with egg noodles.
Baby bro got the seafood combination noodle soup, and requested thin rice noodles (the default rice noodles are wide flat ones).
Here is what everyone else ordered. Curry noodle soup.
Duck noodle soup with rice noodles
The food we had was alright. The quality seemed on par with the Mira Mesa location. It's nothing great, but it hits the spot for a quick, cheap meal.

Hi Kirbie! Sometimes all you need is something inexpensive to hit the spot. The duck soup looks especially good right now since I'm craving duck.
Hi Kirbie – LHK used to be much better before the original owner passed away.
I visited this location on July 14hth, 2013. There was no hand soap in the either bathrooms, which means that the staff isn't properly washing their hands after using the toilet, OR they're not washing their hands at all. Secondly, there were two large roaches spotted while I was eating there, and the staff did nothing to address the problem-didn't even try to kill the roaches that were sighted!

Q: How sensitive are ferrets' ears? We placed our ferret's cage in our oldest son's bedroom where there is a drum set. Are Mr. Sassy's ears sensitive to the drums? Should we bring him upstairs whenever my son is practicing on the drums?
A: Ferrets have superior hearing. This is thought to be adaptive because wild black-footed ferrets spend much of their lives in darkness and excellent hearing helps them survive. It is also thought that ferrets have a different hearing range than people. So, given all of this, could the sound of the drums actually bother your ferret? This is not easy to answer.
If the drums bother your ferret, how would you know? It is difficult to know when a ferret is hearing a sound that causes it discomfort. So, for this reason alone, I would not subject your ferret to drum solos! Also, we know that any animal exposed to continual loud noises can eventually lose the ability to hear properly for various reasons. Again, this is enough for me to suggest moving the ferret to another part of the house while the drums are being used. People can wear earplugs, but our ferrets cannot!

The Pegasus Project is no more dead than anything else that costs $2.5 billion it doesn't have
Update 2:45 p.m.: I corrected the spelling of Robert Wilonsky's name. -ml
The following comes from from Staff Writer Michael A. Lindenberger, who is stuck in a meeting where he has no Internet access:
There's an item on the Dallas Observer's Unfair Park blog about a story last night on WFAA-TV (Channel 8) that included, in Robert Wilonsky's words, a "bomb" — that Project Pegasus, the highway plan to unclog the Mixmaster and Canyon on the southern edge of downtown Dallas, is dead.
Indeed, the Channel 8 report said officials had revealed that the project is about to come "screeching to a halt."
Both the Observer and WFAA have it only half right.
Here's the deal: The project needs about $2.5 billion. That's money it doesn't have, and unless the Texas Legislature finds more road construction money in the next month or so, it's money that the project isn't likely to get soon.
But that's not new. The project is as much alive — or dead — as it has ever been. It's never had the money it needs.
The Texas Department of Transportation's Dallas chief, William Hale, said the department is trying to move forward with pieces of the project, namely the Interstate 35 and Interstate 30 bridges over the Trinity River.
That's not new, either, as TxDOT has been moving in that direction for years. (it doesn't have all the money it needs to complete the two bridges, either.)
A better reading of the TV report from last night would have been not to assume that someone in officialdom had "killed" Pegasus.
What the report said instead is that without money, Pegasus won't be built.
That's as true today as it has been, you know, forever.

"Everybody is so intimidated by me," moans David, a recent Yale grad who takes a bus cross-country to live the life of an apple picker in Oregon. Of course, no one is the slightest bit challenged by the self-involved David, whose uncomfortableness fuels "C.O.G."
David is a stand-in for witty raconteur David Sedaris, whose autobiographical essay (included in the book "Naked") inspired the film. Sedaris didn't pen the script, but it feels like his words. Much like Sedaris does, the film excels at moments of cringe-worthy awkwardness, such as David's meager attempts to mingle with co-workers or a flirtation-gone-wrong with a male pal.
Kyle Patrick Alvarez writes and directs, and it's a bit of a haphazard affair. The film features snappy, hilarious bits among the coming-of-age vignettes, but it loses momentum as it winds toward a finish. You won't grow bored with the characters, but you might check your watch a few times.
Alvarez is particularly good with the actors. Corey Stoll (Netflix's "House of Cards") is perfect as a man whose charm hides a layer of sleaze. Denis O'Hare is equally effective as Jon, a hot-tempered Christian who leads atheist David toward the church (the Bible is poorly written, David sniffs). Jon provides the movie with its title, as "C.O.G." refers to child of God, not "capable of genocide," as David guesses.
Broadway actor and sometime-"Glee" castmate Jonathan Groff plays David, and he's something of a revelation. His ability to move from smug Ivy League superiority to wide-eyed vulnerability is seamless, and he makes a character who could be rather unlikable quite engaging.

I came across tapioca flour in the store the other day, and was surprised to see that the carb count is actually extremely close to that of coconut flour.
Here are the products I was comparing:
Tapioca Flour :: Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods
Organic Coconut Flour :: Bob\'s Red Mill Natural Foods
I'm curious why people seem to be really into coconut flour, while tapioca flour doesn't seem nearly as popular. Is it more expensive? Less healthy?

thank you.
You could use that gear, you just have to build the plane large enough to carry it. I would say go with the 28" or 32" version, definitely no smaller. Also, you should probably not use smaller packs, unless you are certain that they can handle the amp draw of your motor and prop combination.

I am using this motor....
I am using this on my plane and it screams.... I use the reccommended prop and ESC. (everything is on this page with specs... thses folks do a great job with the specs) My plane is a 32" span and all up weight is about 16 ozs. I launch using a "frisbee" toss... hold the plane in your right hand along the leading edge, run the motor up, and side arm it up.... no chance of the prop hitting you and it will go vertical out of sight. See post 818 on this thread....
This is a really good motor for a 32" size fun jet.
Perfect for the battery, ESC and prop you have.
Here's the specs
2200mah 3S, 40 amp mystery ESC, 4.75x4.75 APC prop
34amps, 375w, +750g thrust.
I have a couple on some scratch built fun jets and I can highly recommend them.
Hey everyone.
I found this thread back in April and have been following it ever since. This is my first scratch built foamie, so I thought I would share my build with everyone now that it's finished. I haven't made a test flight yet, but will soon.
22" wingspan
8.7oz (minus prop saver and prop)
hxt500 5g micro servos
gen ace 1000mah 25c 2s lipo
hobbyking blue series 30a bec
turnigy 2730 3000kv motor
4.5x4.5 to 5.5x5.5 tgs props
I started with dollar tree foam board for a test build, it turned out pretty good, light as a feather, but not rigid enough for my taste. Then I tried an old piece of 22x28" elmers foam board (black core), it was dented, scratched in some places but useable and much more rigid, perhaps a bit heavier. The paper backing on both sides is a to remove... I tried many things mentioned on this board to remove the stuff, but in the end, soap and hot water in the tub for a few hours with a wash rag and some elbow grease leaves a nice foam surface. This foam can be found at Ben Franklin Crafts, also the framing department carries double the size boards for a bit less cost, they will even cut it to any size you like.
Long story short, after seeing some pics of the RAF Typhoon F1 jet, I wanted to try a single vert. fin and move the servos inside the fuselage. Some minor mods here and there, I managed to fit everything inside, CG is a tiny bit on the nose minus the prop. Anyway, I'll let these photos speak for themselves.
Thanks for the use of the plans, it was an easy and fun build.
NOt bad for a first scratch build!! A friend once said to me that if it looks good it's going to fly well....and that my friend looks pretty nice...!!!
Good luck on the maiden.
I'll second that!
Hey everyone.
Update on the maiden flight last Saturday.
It went pretty bad... First throw at half throttle with some elevator trim and it dropped to the ground after a few feet, saved it! Second try I increased D/R and throttle, a bit better that time but it turned the opposite way while doing a crash dive cartwheel. Broke the fuse in half where it meets the front wing, no other damage. You guessed it, I had my elevons moving in reverse!
Sunday's flight test: Everything glued back together, controls working in the right direction with full travel, I used 3/4 throttle for takeoff. It went up, I made a left turn when all hell brakes loose. Looked like a backwards triple axel with a twist at 30ft in the air before hitting the ground! Nothing broke!
It seems somethings up with my CG... I used the calc from here, also included a picture of my values. Based on those values, my CG is more forward than what the plans show, which would make sense with a tail heavy plane. I moved the battery all the way up and added 13.3g of weight to the nose to balance it.
This week I'll give it another try with the batt and weight at the nose, but any suggestions as to what might be wrong will be most appreciated.
When I built mine I went for the forward swept wing, but I've intended on doing a straight wing version at some point. My FSW flies pretty well so a friend of mine tried doing a straight wing. We never did get his to fly, it was strange. He even handed me the controls to try and I couldn't keep it in the air and CoG wasn't helping. He gave up on it and we never did find out what the problem was. The reason I'm telling this story is that your build has something in common with his...the single vertical stab.
So, I really can't say for sure but I was always thinking that was one variable he had different from stock. I told him to put two, but he wanted it that way. Maybe you need to increase the surface area of it to get away with one? You could try temporarily adding a piece of foam to it to see if it helps. Otherwise I wonder if it maybe needs the dual stabs for stability.
Something to think about anyway. I hope you get it flying, good luck!

Hi folks!
I had one of the first Funjets available, unfortunately, it had a non-planned special-effect with smoke and such after about 45s of "non-WOT"...
I've been thinking about a similar design for quite some time, and visited the PrimeJet for two times already, walking away again because I would've needed to buy everything, which sucks if you already have about 5 unfinished projects lying around, and a sixth one does not really help the motivation...
When I rumbled lately through "uncharted territories" of my working shop, I did find that little jewel, which would fit almost perfectly...
Waypoint W-E2205-36, will produce around 280g of thrust with a 6x4-pusher when in prop-stall and 500g when undisturbed flow... Weight of propulsion-system will get to around 140g, leaves me around 300g to finish the airframe off...
Looking for the FSW-version...
Did someone weight the airframe after finishing...?
What's the realistic empty weight without components?
Thanks for the help!
Sorry to hear it didn't go so well Vechlor.
I've found with mine the CG margin is very small. If I move the battery any more than +/-0.5" it does one of two things. Too far aft and it pitches up uncontrollably at anything above 1/2 throttle - too far forward and it tends to "tuck under" when down elevator is applied.
A reason may be the relatively short distance between the canard and the CG point. Also, becasue the wing is almost straight with a (relative) slight fwd sweep, the pitch moment is small, making it very sensitive to pitch inputs.
Try a couple of things - decrease your pitch throws to no more than +/- 0.25" and add about 30% expo to your elevators to calm things down. Gradually increase the throws as you gain confidence.
For all my models, I use the same CG calculator to get a rough idea of where the CG should be. Then before I maiden any model (except the big ones), I find a suitable area of long grass and (starting at a low height) give it a throw. With the CG too far aft it will stall tail first. Too far forward and it will nose in. Once you have it right, it should glide from standing height all the way to landing without stalling.
This works for me every time and gives me confidence it's going to fly ok for the maiden flight. Any bad habits it may have after this aren't due to CG issues.
Once you get thru the maiden you can fine tune your CG to suit your tastes.
Finally some color
After seeing all the great looking versions lately I was inspired to add some color to the PRIME JET I had built for a friend of mine...of course right after the re-build....yeah I had to re-build her after a failed attempt to teach my friend how to do a snap roll on the buddy box. A combination of too much speed and too little altitiude. She went straight in at about 50-60 MPH nose first. Everything from the wing leading edge forward was destroyed (except for the laminated nose)...
After a new front fuse, I decided to FG with WBPU and added a nice coat of white, then the Monocote Trim sheets. I also added the nasa duct for better cooling and a second wing spar about 3" forward of the first one. I used to have a lot of wing flutter at full throttle dives from altitude. Not any more....this thing still rocks.
Nice looking planes, sorry about your crash Veclor, interesting what you used for paint, care to expand on that alittle?? Been looking at this build for abit and finishing up another was thinking about building a smaller version, just got a couple of little motors and batteries in so this maybe the guy to try them out on.. Looks like fun.. w.

Maroon 5's fourth studio album arrives just a few weeks after the 10th-anniversary edition of Songs About Jane, the multiplatinum debut that featured hits like "This Love" and "She Will Be Loved" and won the quintet two Grammys (including Best New Artist).
While they have been consistent performers since then, they've yet to make the same kind of big artistic statement. That trend continues with Overexposed – perhaps a cheeky nod to frontman Adam Levine's group-boosting visibility on The Voice – which finds M5 completely embracing the masses who sent "Moves Like Jagger" to No. 1 last year.
Helping the mission are hitmakers like Max Martin, Ryan Tedder and Benny Blanco. Not surprisingly, there are some "Jagger"-inspired grooves, from the lightning-paced "Lucky Strike" to the Scissor Sisters-esque "Doin' Dirt."
Elsewhere, they shift into a reggae rhythm on both the opener "One More Night" and the closer "Beautiful Goodbye." The most affecting moment, though, comes on the only pure ballad, the piano-led "Sad," on which Levine achingly exposes his heartbreak.

Fruit and vegetables are important elements of a healthy, balanced diet, be it as part of a main meal or as a snack. They bring us vitamins, minerals and fibre, some energy (mainly in the form of sugar), as well as certain minor components - often referred to as phytochemicals or secondary plant products - which are potentially beneficial for our health. Epidemiological studies have shown that high intakes of fruit and vegetables are associated with a lower risk of chronic diseases; particularly, cardiovascular disease (1-3), also type 2 diabetes (4), and certain cancers i.e. of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, oesophageal, stomach and lungs (5).A majority of European citizens associate a healthy diet with fruit and vegetable consumption, and many of them believe that their diet is healthy (6). But is this true? Do people in Europe actually get the amounts of fruit and vegetables recommended for good health? Aiming to answer this question, this review also looks deeper into what factors influence fruit and vegetable consumption in Europe, and what are the best intervention approaches to increase it. Lastly, we will have a glance at on-going European initiatives around fruit and vegetable consumption.First of all, we need to understand which foods and drinks fall into the category of fruit and vegetables, how much we are recommended to have of these and why it might be difficult to obtain reliable and comparable data on fruit and vegetable consumption.Definitions of fruit and vegetablesHow are fruit and vegetables defined? It might seem like a simple question, but it is actually quite complicated to derive an all-embracing definition. Tomatoes and lettuce, apples and strawberries may be easy to identify as vegetables and fruits, respectively. But how about potatoes? And is fruit juice equal to fruit? Then there are pulses and nuts, which are also plant foods that may or may not be categorised in these food groups. This is important to keep in mind when performing dietary surveys in order to know what is actually being measured.The definition of fruit and vegetables also varies between countries. Some countries (e.g. Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Iceland, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden) have not included potatoes and starchy tubers, following the same principle as the World Health Organization (WHO), whereas the Norwegian recommendations, for example, include potatoes. Juice is sometimes excluded from the fruit and vegetable recommendations (e.g. Belgium, Spain), sometimes included with limitations (e.g. counts as maximum 1 portion (e.g. Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden), and fully included in other countries (e.g. Iceland and Norway). Austria and Portugal do not provide any specification regarding juice (7).Varying definitions of which foods belong to fruit and vegetables present a barrier to comparing data from different studies. This is a major issue when trying to estimate fruit and vegetable consumption in Europe. Given that many national authorities regularly perform surveys of fruit and vegetable intake, standardising the survey methodology would vastly improve data comparability across different countries.Measuring fruit and vegetable intakeThere are different ways to measure food consumption. Food diaries and dietary recalls (i.e. interviews and questionnaires) are means to obtain information on what individuals eat. Household spend and average food supply based on national statistics may also be used to assess consumption.Different methods take into account different aspects and the exactitude varies between them. Hence data obtained with different methods are not directly comparable. National Authorities have typically selected methods for their dietary surveys without international comparability in mind (8).The lack of comparable data on dietary intake will be tackled by the EU Menu, a pan-European dietary survey by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) that uses standardised data collection methods. The 5 year survey will start at the beginning of 2012 (9).RecommendationsDefinitions of fruit and vegetables are not only important to obtain accurate and comparable data on consumption, but they are also crucial for intake recommendations and what their effect will be on population intakes.WHO recommends eating ≥400 g per day of fruits and vegetables, not counting potatoes and other starchy tubers such as cassava (10). In Europe, the recommendations vary between countries. In general, these are in line with the WHO recommendation, but some countries recommend higher amounts e.g. ≥600 g per day in Denmark (7).
What do food supply data say?The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) provides data on food consumption based on agricultural data which indicates the food supply patterns at national level.According to the FAO data, the vegetable supply (excluding potatoes and pulses) in Europe has increased over the last four decades. It also shows a north-south gradient; in Northern Europe the vegetable supply is lower than in Southern Europe. For example, in Finland the average supply is 195 g per person per day, which corresponds to 71 kg per person per year, whereas Greece has an average supply of 756 g per person per day (276 kg per person per year)(11).What do household food consumption data say?National Authorities regularly collect data on food consumption at household level through household budget surveys. Efforts have been made to compile and modulate these data - from a number of European countries (collected at different time points) - to enable comparison.Household data show that total vegetable consumption (excluding potatoes and pulses) varied from 284 g per day in Cyprus to 109 g per day in Norway. These countries had also the highest and lowest recorded intakes, respectively, of fresh vegetables. Interestingly, Cyprus had the lowest consumption (4 g per day) of processed vegetables (frozen, tinned, pickled, dried and in ready meals, but excluding potatoes). The consumption of processed vegetables was highest in Italy at 56 g per day (12).Based on household food data on fruit and vegetable consumption it has been suggested that household availability of fruit and vegetables is satisfactory in some Southern European countries and that in a number of countries the availability of fruits is higher than that of vegetables (11).What do dietary survey data say?EFSA has compiled national food consumption data based on dietary surveys in order to assess food intake in Europe. Adjustments of the compiled data allow for a certain level of comparison (13).These data reveal that the mean vegetable intake (including pulses and nuts) in Europe is 220 g per day. Mean fruit intake is 166 g per day, implying that the average consumption of fruit and vegetables is 386 g per day. The data further show that the vegetable consumption is higher in the South than in the North of Europe and that the regions with the highest intake of fruits are those of Central and Eastern Europe followed by those in the South (13).Only in Poland, Germany, Italy and Austria the recommendation of consuming ≥400 g of fruit and vegetables per day was met. When fruit and vegetable juices were included, Hungary and Belgium also reached the recommended amount (11). It is worth noting that the database only contains data from one Southern European country, namely Italy (Figure 1).Figure 1 - Mean fruit & vegetable intake per country (in grams per day), excluding juices (13)
There is only limited data on European children's fruit and vegetable consumption, but one study suggests that 6-24% of European children reach the WHO recommendation (7). The average vegetable intake was estimated to be 86 g per day, the average fruit intake 141 g per day. When fruit and vegetables are combined, the highest intakes are seen in Austria and Portugal and the lowest in Iceland and Spain. The type of vegetables consumed differed according to the geographical location. In the North, consumption of raw vegetables was higher, while vegetable soups were the main sources of vegetables in the South.Insufficient fruit and vegetable intakes in EuropeThe WHO estimates that in more than half of the countries of the WHO European Region the consumption is lower than 400 g per day of fruit and vegetables, and in one third of the countries the average intake is less than 300 g per day (8). EFSA's analysis based on national dietary surveys suggests that the recommended amount is reached only in 4 of the participating EU Member States (11).Disease burden related to low fruit and vegetable intakesAccording to the estimates above, a majority of Europeans do not meet the WHO recommendations for fruit and vegetable intake. As eating recommended amounts of these foods helps to ensure health and prevent disease, poor intakes would be expected to negatively impact on health.To get an idea of the magnitude of the problem, attempts have been made to estimate the contribution of low fruit and vegetable consumption to the burden of disease. The most recent analysis in the European Union (EU) dates from 1997. At the time, it was estimated that 8.3% of the burden of disease in the EU-15 could be attributed to inadequate nutrition, with low intakes of fruit and vegetables being the cause for 3.5% of the disease burden (14). WHO has estimated that 2.4% of the burden of disease in the WHO European Region was attributable to low intakes of fruit and vegetables in 2004 (Table 1) (15).Table 1 - Top 10 health risk factors and their estimated relative contribution to the burden of disease (from (15))
Most of the benefit of consuming fruit and vegetables comes from a reduction in cardiovascular disease risk, but fruit and vegetables may also reduce the risk of certain cancers (16).WHO has estimated that insufficient intake of fruit and vegetables causes around 14% of gastrointestinal cancer deaths, about 11% of ischaemic heart disease deaths and about 9% of stroke deaths worldwide (15).
As for dietary habits in general, a wide range of factors influence fruit and vegetable consumption; factors in our physical, social and cultural environment as well as personal factors, such as taste preferences, level of independence, and health consciousness. Many of these factors change throughout life.Income and educationThere are many studies supporting a relation between income level and fruit and vegetable intake; low-income groups tend to consume lower amounts of fruit and vegetables than higher income groups (17). But why is that?High costs may negatively impact on fruit and vegetable intake levels (18). This does not only concern low income groups. Also people with higher incomes perceive price as a barrier to consumption of these foods. However, it tends to be more of a concern among those with smaller revenues (19). Thus, affordability is likely to be only one of several factors mediating the effect of income level on fruit and vegetable consumption.Better educated adults show higher vegetable consumption. Besides the financial aspect just mentioned – higher education generally means higher income – this could be related to greater knowledge and awareness of healthy eating habits in those with higher education levels. It is also likely that certain values, ideals and social influence linked to education and income levels influence our eating behaviours, including fruit and vegetable consumption (20).Gender and ageIn general, girls and women consume larger amounts of fruit and vegetables than do boys and men (17, 21-23). This seems to be the case also for pre-school children (24), thus the gender difference already shows at an age when nutrition knowledge is unlikely to have any impact.There is no simple answer to the question why females eat more fruit and vegetables than males. Social structures linked to the traditional roles of men and women in society could be one explanation (22). It has also been suggested that girls like fruit and vegetables more than do boys and hence they eat more of them. Why that is, however, remains unclear (21).Age also appears to influence fruit and vegetable consumption. In children and adolescents, consumption tends to decrease with age (23). In adults, the relation between age and intake is inversed, i.e. intake levels increase with age. Possible explanations include higher income and knowledge with age, and social habits and cues, e.g. what type of social activities people take part in, social eating habits and ideals related to food and the time devoted to cooking (20).Accessibility and availabilityThe availability of a variety of attractively displayed fruit and vegetables all year round positively affect fruit and vegetable consumption, particularly with higher socioeconomic status (19). Similarly, availability of and access to fruit and vegetables in the home is important for consumption in both children and adults (19, 23, 25). On the other hand, lack of or limited supply of fruit and vegetables (e.g. little variety offered in canteens or local shops and poor quality) has been reported to be obstacles to consumption of such foods (18).Family factors and social supportSocial support appears to enhance fruit and vegetable consumption (26) and family factors influence fruit and vegetable intake in children, adolescents and adults.In adults, particularly in men, being married positively impacts on the amounts of fruit and vegetables consumed (19, 22). Women seem to have a positive influence on their husbands' intake frequency, amounts and variety of the fruit and vegetables eaten (19). In general, family factors seem to be stronger determinants in men than in women. This is thought to be related to their traditional roles in the household; women handle health-related issues and more commonly shop and prepare food than do men (19, 22).Children's fruit and vegetable intake levels are related to how much their parents consume (24). There is also a relationship between family rules and children's vegetable intake. Pressure to eat fruit and vegetables does not have any positive effect on intake in children. However, consumption can be enhanced when parents are good role-models and encourage children to eat fruit and vegetables (27). Family meal patterns, in particular shared family meals, also improve fruit and vegetable consumption in children (23, 24). Home availability and other factors in the shared environment as well as genetic pre-disposition (inborn food preferences) could explain the link between parents' and children's intake levels (24).Dietary habits learnt in childhood seem to be predictive for intake levels in adulthood (19). The earlier children are introduced to vegetables the more likely they are to have higher consumption levels at pre-school age (24). People who eat a lot of fruit and vegetables in childhood remain good consumers (28).PreferencesFood preference is one of the factors related to fruit and vegetable consumption (23, 25). When starting to eat solid food the child may initially not seem to like certain foods, but repeated exposure may improve this. As many vegetables have a slightly bitter taste, the child may need to try them more often than other foods before accepting them.Parents using pressure and rewards to make their children eat fruit and vegetables may not be very successful. Typically such strategies result in even stronger aversions. Giving children a variety of foods, tastes and textures, being patient and repeatedly serving foods they initially seem to dislike, being a role model, and encouragement are far better strategies (29).Although to a large extent developed during childhood (30), food preferences change over time and may be modified also in adulthood. As for children, repeated exposure may reduce food neophobia, i.e. being reluctant to try new foods, in adults as well (31).KnowledgeTo what extent nutritional knowledge and awareness of recommendations influence what we eat is widely discussed and explanations to why certain groups eat more healthily than others have been sought. Among the psychosocial factors, nutritional knowledge is one of the strongest predictors for fruit and vegetable consumption (26). The lack of skills to prepare fruit and vegetables for consumption is another factor which could constitute an obstacle to purchase and consumption (18).There often seem to be gender differences in nutritional knowledge, with women being more knowledgeable than men. Men also tend to be less aware of dietary recommendations and the risks linked to unhealthy dietary habits (32), whereas women are more likely to associate a healthy diet with eating more fruit and vegetables (6).Psychological factors, attitudes, beliefs and perceived barriersAttitudes and beliefs towards fruit and vegetables have an impact on consumption levels (26). There is evidence that self-efficacy (belief in one's own ability to perform tasks, attain goals etc.) is a strong predictor for fruit and vegetable intake in adults (23, 26). Self-esteem also positively impacts vegetable intake (20) as does perceived healthiness of fruits and vegetables (32).The vast majority of the citizens in the EU consider what they eat good for their health, 20% even declare that their eating habits are very healthy. A majority of Europeans believe that it is easy to eat a healthy diet and that eating a healthy diet means eating more fruit and vegetables (6). Considering what we know about Europeans' dietary habits and their fruit and vegetable intake, this may appear surprising. However, it has been suggested that one important barrier to fruit and vegetable consumption is that people actually believe their diet is satisfactory (17).Lack of time and control over what they eat are the two main reasons Europeans give to explain the difficulty of eating a healthy diet (6). Time constraints to eat fruit and vegetables represent a complex issue. For example, there are indications that fruit is often considered convenient food whereas vegetables are not. For Europeans, irregular working hours and a busy lifestyle are perceived as barriers to vegetable consumption. Low consumers of fruit and vegetables consider convenience factors, such as time available for preparation of food and shopping, availability of shops and simplicity of preparation and cooking, of higher importance for their intake than high consumers (31).Increasing vegetable intakesIn 2006, 1 in 5 Europeans reported having changed their diet over the last year. Of these more than half indicated that they had increased their fruit and vegetable intake. Weight management and health maintenance were the major reasons for diet changes. Increased fruit and vegetable intake was reported by fewer in the Mediterranean region than elsewhere. On the other hand, as many as 70% of the individuals in Denmark and Slovenia who had changed their diet reported having increased their consumption of these foods. People in countries with relatively high fruit and vegetable consumption could be more likely to consider their intake of fruit and vegetables as sufficient (6).
The factors influencing fruit and vegetable intake are numerous and linked to each other in complex ways. As a consequence, changing consumption patterns remains a challenge, particularly at population level. Different intervention programmes addressing low fruit and vegetable consumption have adopted different strategies, with variable success.ChildrenDietary habits and preferences largely form during childhood and hence many initiatives for increasing fruit and vegetable consumption target children. The sad truth is that despite a large number of interventions and intense efforts, impact on consumption levels has been rather limited (18). Some elements of success can be identified, though.Most often the projects aimed at increasing fruit and vegetable consumption in children are school-based. Implementing programmes in schools ensures wide participation and gives the opportunity to combine different types of activities, such as traditional classroom-based learning, school gardening, cooking classes and feeding (33).For maximum effect, school-based interventions should consist of a number of different activities. The more intense and multi-faceted the intervention, the higher the increase in intakes (34). Skill-building activities, like cooking classes, are more effective than passive learning approaches (18, 33). Duration is also important, with programmes running at least one year being the most effective (33).Distributing fruit and vegetables as well as involving parents, teachers and peers also improves the results of school-based interventions. Involving parents is of great importance since parental intakes, encouragement and home availability of fruit and vegetables are factors with strong influence on children's consumption (35). Active encouragement by food-service personnel in school canteens, training and involvement of peer leaders and the use of cartoon characters are as well positive elements in fruit and vegetable intervention programmes for children. Making fruit and vegetable messages a part of existing school subjects may also help (18, 33).AdultsIn fruit and vegetable interventions for adults the strategies with the greatest impact on intake have included some kind of face-to-face counselling. The problem is that individual approaches are very resource-demanding and therefore hardly applicable in population-wide interventions. Individually-tailored printed or computer-based information, may serve as a good alternative to face-to-face counselling as the messages can be adopted to individual needs, attitudes etc.Adults are often targeted at the workplace. To be effective, such interventions must consist of a number of different strategies, which often makes them costly. Collaboration with the company managers as well as with other stakeholders is also necessary to make workplace interventions successful. It appears to be difficult to recruit and retain participants in such projects, which might be the reason why, so far, the success of worksite interventions has been limited. The time demands and efforts required from workers and managers are considered barriers to their success (18). Another important strategy is to establish supportive structures that will sustain efforts in the long run. Involving workers in planning and running of the programme, addressing the existing barriers and integrating the workers' broader social context by targeting also their families, neighbourhoods etc. are other means to achieve better outcome (34).There are also broader, community-based fruit and vegetable programmes. The effectiveness of these has often been difficult to assess (18). However, some elements for the success of community-based interventions have been identified. As for school- and worksite-based programmes a multi-component strategy seems to be the way to go for increasing intakes of fruit and vegetables (18, 36). Clear fruit and vegetable messages, involvement of the family and using a theoretical framework as the basis of the intervention have also been demonstrated to be advantageous. Flexibility and participation of the target population in the intervention design also promotes better outcome, and the duration of the programme is important (36).The average effect obtained by interventions aiming at increasing adults' fruit and vegetable consumption is around half a serving more per day (18).
National nutrition policiesGiven the contribution of low fruit and vegetable consumption to the burden of disease, action at national level towards increasing fruit and vegetable consumption has become common.Most Western and Nordic European countries address insufficient intakes in their national nutrition policies and include fruit and vegetable promotion as one of their objectives. Equally, in Southern European countries, despite having intake levels closer to the recommended amounts, fruit and vegetable goals are part of their nutrition policies (8). One example of strategies implemented at national level to enhance fruit and vegetable intake of the general population is the 5-a-day campaign, which is run in a number of European countries. In Denmark, where fruit and vegetable intake is also rather low, there is a 6-a-day campaign (11).The EU School fruit schemeIncreasing fruit and vegetable consumption is one of the goals identified in the European Commission's White Paper on Nutrition from 2007 (37), which among other things addresses childhood obesity in Europe. In the concluding remarks of the White Paper, it is stated that a "School Fruit Scheme would be a step in the right direction". This has become reality and an EU-wide scheme to provide fruit and vegetables to school children started in the school year 2009/2010 (28).The "School Fruit Scheme" takes into account several of the aspects identified as factors of success in other school-based programmes: it is a long-term programme providing fruit and vegetables for free, encouraging children to make fruit and vegetable consumption part of their lifestyle. It is involving children, teachers and parents. Additionally it will involve partners from public health, education and agriculture sectors and its effectiveness will continuously be monitored to allow improvements of the strategies throughout the programme (28).The "School Fruit Scheme" is partly financed by the European Commission, but participating countries have to contribute as well. The funds from the Commission are aimed at encouraging additional activities, within or in addition to existing programmes. Besides provision of fruit and vegetables, awareness-raising and educational activities will take place to teach children the importance of good eating habits (28).National initiatives promoting fruit and vegetable consumption There are already national initiatives in place aiming at increasing fruit and vegetable consumption in children (28). Examples of such programmes are:
Despite various issues limiting the possibilities to assess fruit and vegetable intake on a European level, there are some consistent findings on consumption patterns in Europe:
Fruit and vegetable consumption patterns are determined by a wide range of factors:
Increasing fruit and vegetable consumption is a priority for international organisations as well as national governments, which has resulted in many initiatives. There are certain elements that have been shown to improve the results of intervention programmes. Among these are:

In reply to the Our View editorial ("Urban center? Not in Santa Clarita!" June 27).
I am not against jobs, entertainment, and affordable homes within Santa Clarita, either!
However, I am against putting an urban center larger than current zoning allows near an established neighborhood.
My neighbors and I are against the increased traffic "The Avenues" would bring to our established neighborhoods, the safety of the Wiley Canyon Elementary school children, the noise, light pollution, and air pollution it would bring, and dare I say I could go on and on.
In my humble opinion, the industrial center is a great place to put jobs; we already have two major theater complexes, and as for the affordable homes, build them with reasonable density!

The club that put this event together has about 50 members--give or take. But as you are well aware not every member participated
The performers were from a number of local clubs . They were invited because of their skills. Several pilots that also flew full scale did a fly by and the Air National Guard flew in a couple of attack helicopters for display.
It wasn't an easy task putting it together. It stared small and grew from year to year. I left about that time in the show's progress so I'm not at all sure what the story is today except that it is still going on.
If I were to offer any advice it would be dont try for world class your first attempt. Start small and let it grow.
Our club used to have quite a few events, some quite large.
Then, we started having problems with some new neighbors that just moved in to the outskirts of our field.
We had huge issues with the neighbors going to the zoning board for every issue they could think of. Too much traffic, road side signage (to promote our events) that was not portable, selling food without health permits, vendors not collecting sales taxes, etc.
We have scaled back tremendously and are now back in the good graces of the zoning board, but we had to make changes.
Now our "clubhouse" is not called a clubhouse, it is a "farm office". We do not sell food, we make it and the patrons donate monies to recover the costs, etc., etc. Sometimes getting bigger is not better.
Some fields.. if your having issue its best to do what you can to keep the peace. If you have a field that can be prototed for shows that can bring your neighbrs in that like what they see can change a point of view very quick.
but its the steps needed that is still a pain.
But any field will have its up and downs. This thread can help share ideas that can work for some of them.
CBRC< "one of the fields I did fly" has had the very same thing from a new neighbor. Fortunaly the son of the head of zoning had his birthday at my house that month and we had time to talk.
Good luck with your field.do what you need to do to keep them happy.

A club that I visited while I was part of an AMA show team has experienced neighbor problems. The fact that this club actually owns the land and are grandfathered as to how the land will be used has not stopped the "new"neighbors from trying to dislodge them from their field.
Another group had an adjoining property purchased by an individual who wanted to raise horses. He came to the groups field and told them they could no longer fly there because it disturbed the horses. Fortunatly the owner of the field the club used would not allow the club to be put off.
There are as many reasons why those who do not participate in the hobby would like to see us go away as there are
2) Good advice. I was interested in joining a model railroad club and decided to pay them a visit at a show they were attending. The reception I got put paid to any interest I had in that club. First impressions are most important, and a bad one is hard to overcome.
3) This is a non-option for many clubs. For example, the two flying fields where I live are on city land. The city requires AMA membership to fly at either one. You dont have to be a club member but AMA is mandatory. I know many, if not most of the clubs in our area are in the same situation as are a great many elsewhere.
For small clubs with strictly limited funds (like the two I belong to) options for spreading the word are limited. We really aren't in a position to put on big fun flys or to do many other things that typically attract new members. In a way this is a good thing since most of us are just out to have fun. The stress and mess involved with putting together an event can really sap that fun factor in a hurry.
My club flies on private property (sod farm) and we have had problems over the decades with "independent" flyers showing up and flying off "our" field, damaging sod by driving on it or from fuel spills. Since we have a good relationship with the farm, we aren't blamed for these incursions but we do not advertise our whereabouts, either. We are only allowed to fly sailplanes and electric powered models on the sod, no exceptions.
What we used to do, and it worked quite well, was to put out flyers in all the local businesses and advertise free flying lessons. There are a lot of people willing to give it a try and are interested in model aviation.

I've got some Helle Puukko knives and I really, really like them. Oddly they don't seem too popular locally, and I've come up dry at the local knife shops. I'm wondering what the best ones are for possible mail order. Anyone have ideas or links?

Roberta (Bea) Scotten, 86, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on the morning of March 12, 2013, at her home in Florence, Montana.
Bea was born in the old Galt Hospital in Lethbridge, Alberta, to Mary and Harold Hudson on June 16, 1926. She was raised on the family wheat farm south of Lethbridge and attended a one-room school with her brother, Bud, riding their horse to class even in the Canadian winters.
Bea attended high school at Mount Royal College in Calgary, Alberta, and Duke of Connaught High School in New Westminster near Vancouver, B.C. After graduating she entered the University of British Columbia and majored in home economics. Bea worked summers as a "Cannery Annie" and after graduating from UBC she entered the dietetic program at the University of Washington and graduated as Registered Dietician in 1951.While at UW she met Paul Scotten, a student and pot washer at the university cafeteria. Bea soon found employment as the dietician at a boys' dormitory at the University of Idaho in Moscow. Paul made frequent visits from Vancouver and they were married, July 10, 1952 in Lethbridge. Daughter Joyce was born in June of 1953 and the family moved to Bozeman in September to enable Paul to attend Montana State University. After graduation they moved to Great Falls, their home for the next 18 years. In 1974 Bea and Paul began a series of moves as Paul pursued his career with the Montana Power Company. Bea made a home for the couple in the towns of Havre, Butte, Helena, and Colstrip. Bea was active in P.E.O. in all of these communities, and the two made close friends everywhere they lived.
Bea and Paul retired to Florence in 1988 to be near family and began a busy period of their lives watching their grandchildren and great grandchildren grow. They were huge supporters of the kids' athletic endeavors, particularly American Legion baseball, and followed the Bitterroot Bucs around the state and beyond, seldom missing a game at home or on the road. Bea continued on as a Bucs fan after her grandchildren's baseball careers were over and even traveled to Wyoming to cheer them on to a regional championship. Bea was also well known as a loyal Chicago Cubs fan, becoming an avid follower during her years in Havre, and fulfilled a longtime dream of attending a Cubbies game when she celebrated her 85th birthday at the "friendly confines" of Wrigley stadium in Chicago.
Ever a vibrant personality, Bea was a lifelong caregiver to others and enriched the lives of everyone she touched in so many ways. Always active in her community, her many dear friends from every where she went are a tribute to Bea. "Deck time" with neighbors, baseball, and being sympathetic to her opponent as she beat them at Cribbage or Thirteen were just a few of her favorite pastimes. She was well known for her lemon meringue pies and her Butte pasties, and it was an honor to be included in the "Grandma Bea's lunch bunch" that she enjoyed hosting for her grandkids and their friends throughout their high school years. Bea was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1978 and she conquered the disease for 35 years. Her will to not just survive but to live her life was an inspiration to all who knew her. As someone said, "You don't have to survive cancer to beat it".
Bea is survived by her husband Paul, daughter Joyce (Bob) Schroeder of Florence, grandsons Josh (Nieves) Schroeder of La Paz, Mexico, Will Schroeder of Richland, WA. Clay Schroeder of Florence, granddaughter Shelby Schroeder of Seattle, WA., great grandsons Sebastian and Cooper Schroeder of La Paz, nephews David (Dianne) Scotten of Lewistown, Tim Scotten of Portland, OR., great nephews Chris (Alexis) Scotten of Idaho Falls, ID., Dustin (Melissa King) Scotten of Lewistown, brother Bud Hudson of Lethbridge and several cousins in Canada.
The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Thomas, Brenda, the staff at Montana Cancer Center chemo suite, and Dr. Rachael Riopel for their loving care and compassion. They added time and quality to Bea's life and she loved them very much.
A Celebration of Life will take place March 30, 11:00am, at Florence Carlton Community Church with a reception to follow at the Scotten home. Interment is planned at Highlands Cemetery in Great Falls on April 1 at 10:00 am.
Memorials in Bea's name may be made to the Bitterroot Bucs, P.O. Box 1111, Florence, MT 59833 or to the Jack Finlay Service Dog Fund at Karosel Kennels, 16315 Touchette Lane, Frenchtown, MT 59834.

- Conference date: 30 July-4 August 2006
- Location: Portland, Oregon (USA)
Destructive measurements of overheated Polymer Matrix Composites (PMCs) show that mechanical strength can be reduced by as much as 10–80 percent before appearance of visible damage. A large majority of the NDE techniques cannot detect this incipient heat damage. Thermo‐elastic measurements are compared with ultrasonic C‐scans and destructive flexural test measurements performed on PMCs subjected to uniform heat damage. These measurements confirm that ultrasonic C‐scan measurements cannot detect incipient heat damage that can be detected by the thermo‐elastic parameter measurements. A gradual decrease in the thermo‐elastic parameter was determined as a function of increasing incipient heat damage. The possible mechanisms responsible for the change in this parameter due to thermal damage are discussed.

Hosni Mubarak
Spring is in the air, and Mubarak seems dressed to kill.
Hey, saw a very cool court-room drama with Jack Nicholson the other day. That's not Jack Nicholson, that's Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's former President. He just fancies down blankets and dark glasses while waiting to be sentenced. After all, if you're going down, you might as well go down in style.
What was he being tried for? For thinking he's acting in The Sopranos? Well, he was a bit of an autocrat. And was President of Egypt for over three decades. But then, much to his consternation, got ousted after massive protests which started on January 25, 2011. Bloodshed, massacre – more than 850 people died in 18 days. And then it took six months before he was put on trial.
So, after he'd dressed the part and lain propped up in his hospital bed in the little cage they'd made for him in the court, he received a prison sentence on June 2, for not preventing the deaths of protesters.
Poor dear, maybe he was just misunderstood. You know how difficult it is to step in and help protect people when they're being massacred. Remember… Okay, okay, but I really doubt it. Hosni took office in 1981 after his predecessor, Anwar Sadat, was assassinated by Islamic militants during a military parade. Mubarak was the vice-president then. One of the first things he did on becoming President was to say Egypt will stick to the 1979 peace treaty with Israel. Which was a first by any Arab nation with Israel.
And what about his relations with the big daddy of all superpowers – the land of milk and honey? Well, like all good autocrats he had the blessings of the good ol' boys of America. He became a major mediator in the Arab-Israeli peace process and remained a consistent US ally. Smart boy. And, unsurprisingly, got billions of dollars in American aid.
Tough life. Did he ever contest an election? Aah, now you've asked the critical question. If you think our politicians turn populist as elections approach, you should take a look at the real people's President, Mubarak. His government subsidised bread, cooking oil and gasoline. And instead of asking the commoners to eat cake when the bread riots turned violent in 2008, he put the military ovens to work to try and meet the needs of the people.
Doesn't sound like an autocrat to me. More like a kind, old benefactor. Don't be naïve. He's quite the opposite. Along with his populist measures, Mubarak's been criticised for engineering constitutional amendments which ensured only the ruling-party won in the elections. He even banned religious political parties, so the Muslim Brotherhood – which is Egypt's largest political party – couldn't officially participate in politics.
Did he contest elections or not? Or just stayed on as President for three decades? Oh no, the clever coot made sure he took part in elections. He got re-elected. Three times. First few were one-man referendums, which were supposedly staged. And miraculously, he always won more than 90% approval. No better competition, than competing against yourself.
But in 2005, he was magnanimous enough to allow the first ever multi-candidate presidential election. He won that also. Beating 10 other candidates. And much like in India, there were charges of fake votes and arm-twisting. The critics of the 2010 parliamentary elections claimed that these were rigged as well. The Brotherhood, in fact, responded by withdrawing its candidates – who'd run as independents – from the second round of voting.
I still don't get why he's got a life sentence. For what? For rigging elections? Most of our politicians should be behind bars then. No, no. On January 25, 2011, thousands of anti-government protesters were demonstrating to demand Mubarak's removal, and there were massive clashes between the police and them in Cairo. That's the day the Arab spring started in Egypt. And after three weeks of massive protests against his rule, Mubarak took the hint and finally resigned on February 11, 2011 and handed over power to the military.
So that's a good move. He seems to take all the right decisions. You really should apply for a post in his PR cell. Anyway, on April 13, Mubarak and his two sons were finally detained in an investigation into corruption, abuse of power and the killing of protesters. And a month later, he was ordered to stand trial on charges of corruption and conspiracy in the shooting of the protesters. And that's where you first laid eyes on him. Lying behind those bars, with his glares on, most probably glaring at everyone from behind them.
And what was his defence? I'm assuming it wasn't a very good one since he was carted off to prison. Defence? The bugger didn't waste his breath defending himself. He knew the inevitable result. So the trial took place in Cairo on August 3, 2011. And they put him in a cage, I kid you not. And he denied all charges against him.
In end February 2012, Mubarak turned down his last chance to address the court during the defence's final arguments. And that was that. Come June 2, he was sentenced to life in prison and was taken to Torah prison in Cairo for a happy reunion with his sons and cronies who are incarcerated there.
So what's the brouhaha about now? I heard he copped it yesterday and then heard he didn't. It was like Mummy Returns. Well, it seems nobody believes that he's actually unwell. Even though he isn't a spring chicken and is 84. And they believe that much like our beloved politicians and celebs in India who become jailbirds, even Hosni dear, might be pretending to be unwell so that he gets shifted out of prison.
Also, the elections have been taking place in Egypt. And Mubarak's former PM, Ahmed Shafiq, has claimed that he's won the presidential election. While the Muslim Brotherhood is claiming their candidate, Mohammed Morsi, has won it. So could be that this announcement of him copping it is to win sympathy for him and Shafiq.
This is why you need a puppet king who never contests elections. Well, everyone's not so lucky. So some people have to contest elections. But in anticipation of the results, The Brotherhood have already started protesting in Tahrir Square and chanting slogans in support of Morsi. Fun times. So the more things change, the more they remain the same.
So is he dead or not? Well, it was announced that he was clinically dead last night. But that's been retracted. And the new statement is that he's on life support. See, people still believe that this is just a ploy to move him out of prison. Also, much like our prison guards do a little pirouette around jailed politicians, so do their Egyptian counterparts. So whether he's a vegetable or not, no one seems to be giving the poor sod the benefit of doubt.
Try not to say: Spring is in the air.
If you could: Pull the plug and have some bread while you're at it.

I've tried DaniDASD.DMD and got exactly he same problem. For some
reason these drivers assign drive letters to FAT32 partitions, thus
shifting the drive letter of my OS/2 boot partition (drive #1, hpfs).
Is there any way to make it (DaniDASD.DMD) ignore any previously-unseen
partitions (or FAT32 partitions at all) so that drive letter shift
doesn't occur? All I want is the type 0fh partition to be recognized as
an extended one, nothing more. I don't need any extra functionality,
especially not stuff that renders my OS/2 partition unbootable.
I can get around this by manually hiding all my FAT32 partitions on
drive #0, but I don't see why I should. I mean, why should I hide
partitions that the OS can't see anyway? After all, I didn't install
(nor wish to install) the FAT32.IFS driver.
A schematic diagram of the problem can be found here:

The family of Paul Desmarais Sr. is now embroiled in a feud over the late media baron's estate.
His 91-year-old brother Louis is suing his brother's estate for $100 million, saying shortly before his brother died late last year, he was given $5 million, and told he was not in the will.
In the civil suit filed Tuesday, he claims he and his brother had a verbal agreement made in 1975 for the transfer of company shares which would be valued today at more than $250 million.
The former chairman of Power Corporation died last Oct. 8 at the age of 86.

Corvallis – Verda Mae Rummel, 89, of Corvallis, passed away at her home on Friday morning, November 29, 2013, losing her battle with lung cancer.
Verda was born in Missoula on November 12, 1924 to Peter and Leona (Kolbeck) Verhonik. She was welcomed by older sisters Bethel and Phyllis. Verda grew up on Brooks Street in Missoula and graduated from Missoula County High School in 1942. She caught the eye of a young sailor, J. Clyde Rummel, and they married January 27, 1946. The newlyweds settled on a farm on the west side of the Bitterroot Valley, where they lived for nearly 40 years. In the early years she devoted her life to raising their four children and being a good farm wife. Verda spent countless hours in the fields, the garden and the kitchen. She was very active in the 4-H program and served as the Food Chairman at the Ravalli County Fair for many years. She belonged to the Methodist Women's Society, Home Extension Club, Corvallis PTA and often lent a hand in her children's activities.
Verda and Clyde spent many hours designing and building a home on the eastside, moving there in 1983. With the children raised, she developed new interests. She was a docent at the Daly Mansion for many hours and particularly enjoyed giving tours to school children. They loved to get together with friends at Good Sam campouts and spent several winters snowbirding in Yuma, Arizona. Verda was extremely selfless; she was often the first to bring a pot of soup to a sick friend or a lemon pie to a grieving family. In her later years she made numerous prayer shawls with her friends at the Corvallis United Methodist Church. She was a proud member of the Corvallis American Legion Auxiliary and could often be found selling poppies or riding the float at the Memorial Day Parade.
Verda enjoyed cards and games, and was a whiz at cribbage and pinochle. Her children and grandchildren found her an extremely worthy opponent, and she usually ended up on the plus side. Verda is survived by her children Linda Niezgodzki of Corvallis, Pete (Donna) Rummel of East Helena, Carl (Annette) Rummel of Missoula and Julie Rummel of Great Falls; grandchildren Michael Niezgodzki (Kim) of Norco, California, Michelle (Vince) Zuniga of Westminster, California, Steven Rummel and Jeremy Rummel of East Helena, Josh (Sara) Rummel of Lompoc, California, Jeff Rummel of Missoula, Jarrett (Carly) Rummel of Boise, Idaho, Cedric Jacobson of Derby, Connecticut, and Jillian Jacobson of Woodbridge, Virginia; great grandchildren Kameron and Makaila Niezgodzki, Alyssa, Hailey and Vicente Zuniga, Tori Dess-Rummel and Damon Rummel; her sister-in-law Ruth Lamoreux and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, John Clyde Rummel (2000), son-in-law Larry Niezgodzki (2012), grandson Matthew Niezgodzki (2004), parents, sisters Bethel Madden (1972) and Phyllis Verhonik (1977) and niece Aneta Lamoreux.
Funeral services will be held Friday, December 6, 2013 at 2 p.m. at the Corvallis United Methodist Church, with internment to follow at the Corvallis Cemetery. There will be a reception following the committal services at the Corvallis Methodist Church. Memorials may be made to the Corvallis United Methodist Church, the Daly Mansion or charity of the donor's choice.
The family would like to thank Dr. Alan Thomas and his oncology staff for the compassionate care they provided.
Verda's great sense of humor and quick wit will be missed by many. Condolences may be left for the family at www.dalyleachchapel.com.

The Nissan Quest offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Nissan NV200, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.
With the Nissan Quest, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Nissan NV200, due to its tank size and fuel economy.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Nissan NV200 is a better financial choice over the Nissan Quest, when considering MSRP. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. Both the Nissan NV200 and the Nissan Quest have similar Destination Charges.
Since the Nissan NV200 is much slimmer than the Nissan Quest, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Nissan NV200, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Nissan Quest.
The Nissan NV200 has much lower torque than the Nissan Quest, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
The Nissan NV200 has the same turning radius as the Nissan Quest, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.
When it comes to horsepower, the Nissan NV200 has a lot less horsepower than the Nissan Quest.
Soccer Moms beware - the Nissan NV200 seats a lot fewer people than the Nissan Quest. The Nissan NV200 has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Nissan Quest.
You'll have greater peace of mind with the more generous basic warranty of the Nissan NV200 than that of the Nissan Quest.
