I understand that the Royal Navy had introduced copper water storage tanks to some of it's ships and at the same time instituted testing of citrus as a scurvy remedy by adding the juice to the water stored in these copper tanks.

Apparently copper reacts with, and nullifies, the citrus as an anti scorbutic.

Delay in implementing the citrus cure resulted from the assumption that the citrus was not effective in the testing that utilized copper tanks instead of the usual oak barrels.

Yakima is rife with black widows, and big rattlesnakes. Never found a rattler in my shoes, but learned that shaking boots out prior to putting them on was a great prophylactic measure against black widows.

As long as you have the foot prints painted on the escalator, which side doesn't matter, does it?
I think it is a great idea, and escalators should be equipped this way all the time. You would not have to have each step painted. Every 5th step with a pair of feet, and two steps with one left and one right ought to suffice.

It should be an easy thing to do with a stencil and paint.

Thanks for the link. Interesting reading. A quick run down of those named:
Mubarak-Corrupt, overthrown, jailed
Arafat-Died under mysterious circumstances, suspected Polonium poisoning. The result are still out on that avenue of inquiry.
Ghaddafi-Overthrown and dead
Assad-Involved in civil war, may catch the business end of a missile yet
Khatami-Still alive. A learned and interesting man, I hope he stays alive
Musharref-Suspected of Benazir Bhutto assassination. Pakistan harbored Bin Laden

It is a rough brand of politics played in the Middle East. I have heard it described as the being like the Hatfields and McCoys. I do remember the Palestinian celebrations clearly. A shame, all the way around.

I believe it is a warhead from Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative "Star Wars" defense program, specifically a Exoatmospheric Reentry-vehicle Interceptor Subsystem (ERIS).

"Gluten Free" allows up to 20 parts per million of gluten. To those of us whose sensitivity precludes any gluten whatsoever it is of no value. I prefer the term "No Gluten", which applies to things like apples, oranges, potatoes, rice, nuts, etc.

The funny thing is how they use the term "Natural Flavors" to hide their 20 ppm of gluten. You know there is a bean counter whose company makes a million pounds of product insisting on adding twenty pounds of wheat because "it helps the bottom line and is completely legal".

Anything that says "Made in a facility that also processes wheat" is unsuitable.

The fact that they are trying doesn't mean they are succeeding.

Love visiting Canada. Cuban cigars, over the counter aspirin and cough syrup with codeine, BC Bud at the cannabis cafe's, and the best "peeler bars" in the world: decent food, hard liquor and beautiful girls, 'nuff said. No wonder Canadians are so laid back, eh?.

Too bad the US dollar is so weak. I remember not too long ago when you got $1.46CDN for a greenback. Good times.

City of LIGHT for gosh sakes, the City of LIGHT, not LIGHTS.

The term "ville lumière" is actually meant to mean "city of enlightenment" in terms of culture and learning and has nothing to do with the street lighting.
