"This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09/713,783, filed Nov. 15, 2000, now abandoned which application(s) are incorporated herein by reference."
The invention relates to a support for and a method for the use of a portable computer having a keyboard and a display flap mounted so as to be pivotable relative to that keyboard.
In practice, portable computers having a keyboard and a display flap mounted so as to be pivotable relative to that keyboard are usually denoted by the term "laptop computer", "laptop" or "notebook". Such computers are used not only during travel, but are also used frequently and for a long period in offices, in particular by users who use the computer regularly in different offices and/or at home.
Such portable computer involves a number of ergonomic limitations. In the first place, the position of the display relative to the keyboard, regardless of the pivotability mentioned, is fixed and located close to the keyboard. As a consequence, either the position of the display is not sufficiently high, which causes a great risk of neck injuries, or, if the computer is placed higher, the position of the keyboard is too high, so that, inter alia, the shoulder muscles are supposed to be burdened unduly. In the second place, a laptop entails the drawback that it is not possible to place any documents between the keyboard and the display, which in practice is in fact desired in many cases.
For partially overcoming the above limitations, in practice, a laptop computer is often combined with a separate keyboard connected to the computer only via a wire or via a wireless connection. The portable computer can then be placed on a raised portion at a height such that the display is at the height desired by the user, while the keyboard with which the computer is operated stands on the worktop and the location of the keyboard can be freely determined by the user, independently of the location of the computer. As raised portion, a display support or a pile of books can for instance be used.
However, such solutions entail the problem that the keyboard of the laptop computer occupies usually scarce space on the worktop. In view of the usually small size of the display of laptop computers, it is generally neither attractive to place the computer further from the user in order to provide space between the computer and the separate keyboard. Another alternative solution consists in that, apart from a separate keyboard, a separate display is coupled to the laptop computer. However, this is a fairly costly solution which, moreover, will only be feasible at a single work station or a very limited number of work stations.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a solution which enables positioning a laptop computer for use in combination with a separate, additional keyboard or another separate control member at some height above a worktop and which also enables placing documents between the separate keyboard and the display without unduly increasing the distance between the keyboard and the display.
In accordance with the present invention, this object is realized by providing a support for a portable computer having a keyboard member and a display flap mounted so as to be pivotable relative to that keyboard member, which support has: a support structure for supporting at least a portion of the keyboard member, a bearing structure which, in operational condition, projects downwards from the support structure such that at least a portion of the support structure-supported keyboard member located adjacent the display flap is kept at a distance above a surface on which the support stands, and a document support for keeping positioned a document in an operational condition extending above the support structure.
In addition, the invention can also be used in the form of a method for the use of a portable computer having a keyboard member and a display flap mounted so as to be pivotable relative to that keyboard member, and a separate control member. In this method, a document between the display flap and the separate control member is visually consulted, the computer is operated via the separate control member, at least a portion of the keyboard member of the computer located adjacent the display flap is supported at a distance above a worktop, and the document is supported in a position in which it projects at least partially above the keyboard member.
Since there is provided a document support for keeping in position a document in an operational position in which it extends at least partially above and along the support structure, the support also forms a document support enabling consulting documents placed therein between the separate control member and the display flap. The documents are moreover located at some height above the worktop on which the support is placed, which is advantageous from an ergonomic viewpoint. The documents supported by the document support are in a position in which, considered from the position of the user, they are located in front of the keyboard member of the computer. However, this is not problematic, because the keyboard is not used in the operational situation.
The invention will first be specified with reference to the exemplary embodiment shown in
The sidewalls 6 form a support structure which, in the operational condition shown, projects downwards from the recess 5, such that a portion 7 of the keyboard 3 supported by the edges of the recesses 5, which portion 7 is located adjacent the display flap 4, is kept at a distance above a face 8 on which the support 1 stands. Thus, the display flap 4— and hence the display is located at a distance above the worktop 8. Since the display is located at a distance above the worktop, the risk of neck complaints during working with the computer for a longer time, is limited. The computer 2 can be operated by means of control members in the form of a separate keyboard 9 and a mouse 10, connected to the computer 2 via cables 11, 12. Further, according to this example, a diskette player/reader 13 and a network cable 14 are coupled to the computer 2. Via the keyboard 9 and the mouse 10, the computer 2 can be operated comfortably, although the keyboard and the cursor control of the computer 2 itself are located at a relatively large distance from the user and are difficult to reach.
Although according to this example, the entire keyboard member 3 of the computer 2 is kept at a distance above the worktop 8, it is also possible that the keyboard member 3 is located on the side facing away from the display flap 4, adjacent the worktop 8, or is even supported by the worktop 8.
The support 1 further comprises a document support 15 for defining a support face for a document 16, which support face, in operational condition, extends above and along the support structure formed by the recess 5. A portion 7 of the keyboard member 3 of the computer 2 located adjacent the display flap 4 projects below the document support 15, and from that portion 7 of the keyboard member 3 located adjacent the display flap 4, the display flap 4 projects upwards behind and along the document support 15.
The document support 15 enables holding documents in a position above the keyboard member 3 of the computer 2 where these documents are properly visible to the user without the user having to look far down and without requiring placing the computer 2 in its entirety further from the user than the position of the remotest edge of the document 16. The fact that in this manner, the document 16 screens the keyboard member 3 of the computer 2 from the user is not problematic, because in the operational situation described, the computer is operated via the keyboard 9 and the mouse 10, which are both placed separate from the computer 2. In this manner, the surface of the keyboard member 3 of the computer 2 projected onto the worktop 8 is not lost for placing documents in a readable position.
If the user is positioned right in front of the computer 2, the user is in line with the additional (loose) keyboard 9, the document support 15 and the display 4, which offers ergonomic advantages and limits the physical load on, inter alia, the neck, for instance in that one no longer needs to look beside the keyboard 9 each time for consulting the documents.
The support 1 is narrower than the width of the computer 2, so that the computer 2 projects laterally relative to the support 1. In this manner, a relatively small support suffices for supporting small as well as wide computers. For the capacity of supporting documents 16, the slight width of the support 5 need not be an important problem, because usually, documents can project outside the document support 15 over some distance without bending to such an extend that the readability suffers therefrom.
In operational condition, the support structure formed by the recesses 5 is open on both sides. As illustrated by
A similar advantage is realized in that, in operational condition, the support structure formed by the recesses 5 is open towards the rear. This advantage is used in the situation shown in
Along the lower edge of the document support 15, a support edge 17 projects upwards. In use, this support edge 17 forms a lower side of the document support 15 and prevents documents 16 from sliding from the document support 15.
A support 1 according to the example shown in
However, it is also possible to design the transition between the sidewalls 6 and the document support 15, and also between the document support 15 and the support edge 17, as folding lines in a blank from plastic or even cardboard. The bearing structure then comprises flat parts in the form of the sidewalls 6 movable between an operational position projecting from the document support 15 and a transport position extending substantially parallel to the document support 15. The support I can then easily be brought into a flat configuration, which saves space when the support is not used. This is advantageous for readily taking along and storing the support 1.
Although the support can in principle be brought into a flat configuration in different manners, such as through disassembly of the sidewalls or, if applicable, of another bearing structure, it is advantageous that the bearing structure formed by the sidewalls 6 is pivotable relative to the document support 15, because thus, changing between the operational position and the flat storage and transport position can be performed in a very fast and simple manner and the sidewalls 6 need not be separated from the document support 15, as a consequence of which they can easily get lost.
Because the transitions between the sidewalls 6 and the document support 15 and also between the document support 15 and the support edge 17 are designed as folding lines, there is obtained a support which can be manufactured at very low costs and which can moreover be folded very flat.
The support 51 shown in
In the exemplary embodiment shown in
As appears most clearly from
As a result, the support 101 can be folded up in a very compact fashion without sidewalls or the like, in folded condition, projecting far outside the document support plate 115, and the keyboard support plate 105, in operational condition, is very stable.
In operational condition, the keyboard member of the computer is located between the substantially flat document support plate 115 and the keyboard support plate 105.
In side elevation, the swivel panels 118, 119 define, with the document support plate 115 and the keyboard support plate 105, a foldable, substantially parallelogram-shaped rod system, which further promotes the operationability and stability of the foldable support. In particular, this prevents the document support plate 115 from resting on the keys of a keyboard member placed in the support 101.
The lowermost one 119 of the swivel panels 118, 119 is provided with projections 117 which, in operational condition, form a stop projecting at the bottom of the document support plate 115, which prevents documents from sliding down from the document support plate 115. When the support 101 is being folded together, the projections 117 swivel along with the lower swivel panel 119 into a position parallel to and in the plane of the document support plate 115.
In order to keep the support 101, in operational condition, in an extreme folded position and prevent it from swiveling any further, a diagonal support flap 125 is provided between the document support plate 115 and the keyboard support plate 105, which support flap 125 is mounted on the document support plate 115 so as to be pivotable about an axis 126 and, in operational condition, rests in a corner between the lower swivel panel 119 and the keyboard support plate 105. The diagonal support flap may also be pivotally mounted at its lower side and, in operational condition, be supported on the side of the document support 115 in a corner.
A first tongue 127 is pivotally mounted on the keyboard support plate 105 and in operational condition, a free end of the tongue 127 projects through an opening 129 in a second tongue 128. The incline of the document support plate 115 relative to the worktop 108 on which it stands, and accordingly also the height of the rear end of the keyboard support plate 105, defining the height of the display of the computer placed in the support 101 above the worktop, is adjustable by inserting the tongue 127 into a different slot 129 in the second tongue 128. In folded condition, the first tongue 127 fills up an opening in the keyboard support plate 105 from which that tongue 127 is cut and the second tongue 128 is folded against the keyboard support plate 105.
The outer plates in
For transporting the above-described, entirely collapsible and hence readily transportable support 101 in, for instance, hand luggage, it is of great importance that the entire construction be not too heavy. However, the support should be sufficiently firm to support the relatively heavy portable computer without any problems and to resist forces exerted thereon in an overfull bag. A solution to these contradictory demands can be found by providing that the plate material has a sandwich structure from rigid and flexible material, while the rigid material is interrupted along lines where said plate material is bent over. With such material, blanks with several panels can be manufactured with very strong and rigid panels which can easily be folded along folding lines between the panels. Preferably, two rigid plates are mounted on either side of a layer of flexible material.
Suitable sandwich material is commercially available, for instance, under the names "Dibont" and "Highlight". Such sandwich plates consist of two aluminum plates having a plastic layer thereinbetween, for instance of polypropylene. Bending hinges between panels can readily be obtained by milling off a narrow strip of aluminum on both sides of a sandwich plate, but keeping the plastic layer intact. Thus, separate hinges are not needed. Permanent fold-over portions can readily be obtained by milling off material along a line exclusively on one side of the plate (preferably the intended inner side of the fold) and subsequently bending the plate along that line. As a matter of fact, the entirely collapsible support may also be manufactured from other materials, for instance from ABS.
To prevent the housing of a computer placed in the support 101 from being damaged, soft material may be provided between the keyboard support plate 105 and the document support plate 115, for instance foam rubber. If necessary, noise-damping material may also be applied, to limit noise emission caused by, for instance, a fan or a hard disk of the computer.
According to the example shown in
According to this example, the document 16 at the front side of the support rests on the support face 165 of the support 151 and the document 16 further rests on the keyboard 3 of a computer 2 located behind the support face 165. According to this example, the support structure 155 for supporting the keyboard member 3 of the computer 2 is open towards the top. This allows the support 151 to have a simple construction and allows the computer 2 to be placed on and removed from the support 151 in a very simple manner.
It will be readily understood by anyone skilled in the art that within the framework of the present invention, still many other variants and structural possibilities are conceivable. Thus, instead of structures from plate-shaped material, grid-shaped or rack-shaped structures may be used. Construction composed from tubes or differently shaped sections are also possible. For keeping the document in position, other provisions than a stop may also be used, such as a clamp retaining the document to be retained.

Review this title!
The old test pattern days would be better viewing.
Great actors but stupid 12 year old level bathroom jokes and the worst laugh track ever heard. If the pilot was the best, future shows will only go downhill. It's a loser and should be gone by.....5 episodes. Of course with Americans taste, this will probably be a big hit
What other families should know
Too much sex
Too much swearing
Too much drinking/drugs/smoking

Brett Dalton, Iain De Caestecker and Ming-Na Wen are hard at work on the "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" set — hard at work catching up on "Game of Thrones," that is. The trio was caught in the act watching the hit HBO fantasy series by their costar Clark Gregg, who hopefully wasn't also watching because he's already up-to-date.
"A of S watching G of T," he captions the image on Instagram.
Considering the look on Caestecker's face, many fans are speculating that the three actors were photographed watching the infamous Red Wedding scene from Season 3. Hopefully that doesn't cause Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen to get any ideas about storylines they should try on their show, as Joss Whedon is already known for killing off fan-favorite characters.
"Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" premieres on ABC on Sept. 24 at 8 p.m. "Game of Thrones" returns to HBO in Spring 2014.

Replaces individual author names in feeds with the site name.
This plugin performs the simple task of replacing individual author names in feeds with the site name.
This is useful for blogs that are written by multiple authors that have the "authoritative voice" of the blog itself, rather than attributing each post to its individual author. This plugin makes the posts in the feeds (all feeds: rss, rss2, atom, rdf, etc) appear to be written anonymously, instead using the name of the site as the publishing author, rather than the name of the author. This prevents admins from having to edit core files to make posts in the feed anonymous.

As discussed in http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=191549, we've written a new module picker for Moodle 2 based on the same design as the Question Picker.
From the positive comments we've received so far, we'd like to submit it for integration into master
Current features of the module chooser (modchooser) include:
- written using YUI3;
- uses progressive enhancement approach;
- displays the icon associated with the module;
- displays any help associated with the module;
- automatically resizes for smaller screens (with a minimum size); and
- supports keyboard access (up/down/tab/space/return of form elements).
The chooser uses the M.core.dialogue (enrol/yui/notification/notification.js) YUI module, and is based upon the Question Bank question type selector in visual design (the Question type selector uses YUI2).

Adding Martin as a watcher as he mentioned in the recent online developer meeting that he'd like something like this in Moodle 2.3.
You can access the demo at
There are some minor changes to the code since the demo, but these shouldn't affect functionality or appearance of the demo.
This is exactly what I was imagining I really want to see something like this in 2.3, but it is dependent on other changes in core for course formats and so on so can't drop in right away.
One thing that will have to be added is some user preference to turn it on and off, possibly via a checkbox in the dialog itself, as power users would prefer the quick menu.
I'm going to make my usual complaint about settings! If we add settings for all these 'improvements' then we create the same complexity of interface with settings as the things are trying to improve.
First, thanks for your efforts and rapid response. This looks really great.
After a discussion about this with Martin, I thought I should record some ideas I had.
- It would be good if this could be streamlined from three clicks to two. Perhaps instead of the radio selector and a next button, each module could have a help icon next to it that showed the help, with a mouseover showing the help also, then clicking on the module name would take you to the new module configuration.
- If the current controls were to remain, then I think the "Next" button label should be replaced by another word, such as "Create" or "Add". The word next implies a "wizard" process and I don't think that reflects the functionality.
- Martin suggested that the use of this pop-up form should be controllable so that advanced users can still use the old menus for greater speed. Certainly we would need to maintain the old drop-down menus anyway for accessibility, but perhaps there can be a control in the user's profile that allows them to choose the old menus if they wish to. I think the default should be to show this pop-up.
Perhaps this would be a target for a proper usability study, if our goal is to improve usability by this change.
I haven't looked into this too deeply but I assume this will be extensible and use a standard help string from each module's language file.
Hi Michael,
My initial thoughts on your comments:
- It would be relatively easy to use CSS to display the help texts on mouseover. At present, selecting a radio button adds a class to the parent div - this could be replaced with a :hover attribute on that div instead.
- However... removing the radio buttons would break keyboard interaction which is currently 'free' with the RBs.
- As an alternative and to simplify things, we could have a double-click listener to automatically continue to the module creation screen. I know that this is technically still three clicks, but it's not really
- I agree, the button should be changed to 'Create' (I had hoped originally that we'd be able to produce a wizard of some kind, but mforms just isn't capable in that regard).
I think that a usability study would be great - I believe that Stuart Lamour's institution has performed one (though obviously not using the module chooser).
And yes, this is extensible and it does use the standard help for both the modules, and their subtypes. Any new modules created and enabled within Moodle would automatically be shown in this selector, and if they provide help text then it can be displayed. Additionally, the help section of the module chooser utilises Moodle's MarkDown (as do the help buttons within Moodle).
Adding Michael as a watcher as he won't have received my previous comment.
following Apus' advice
to share this mindmap with all you
Kind Regards,
Maryel (and MariaMoodle )
@Maryel, LOVE the mindmap! love to see it implemented in the New Module wizard.
yea, Maryel, i love it too!
It would be great if the UI sort of reflected the mindmap/purposes/utitlity - a sort of in-built visual guide in a form!
ps: those little grade icon indicate gradable activities - excellent info imo for when i'm actually choosing an activity.
I disagree with the exact categorisation in the mindmap, but I think it's very helpful in that it shows that it would be nice for admins (and perhaps even users) to decide how the activity modules are arranged in that display.
The mind map doesn't work for me on two major levels:
The branches are't correct IMO, assessment, communication, collaboration and resources would be better but not perfect.
This diagram suggests that modules can be used in a single way which is far from being the case.
This returns me to my original point in the forum discussion i.e. Moodle is used in many different contexts and ways, the descriptive text should be generic and describe features rather than use cases. The former will be be informative and suggest use cases, the latter will always be at odds with the perspective of some users.
@Ray, If all this information can be edited by the system administrator, that could be great.
I have no pedagogical background. So, I showed it around (to some teachers) and they all agreed with you.
There are different ways that those modules can be arranged into categories (and better yet, TAGs).
And if there is a UI for the System Administrator to set it up, that could be great.
Given time constraints, would everyone here be OK to see just an alphabetical list in 2.3, and some sort of admin UI to group them later?
We've just started looking at this with the latest 2.3dev build and it came as a bit of a shock to our learning technologists.
The main issue raised was that it doesn't actually improve substantially the usablity, and for users who know what they want to do it actually slows them down. It now takes 3 clicks (and potentially a drag of a scroll bar to move the list of items) versus the click(,scroll), click from the "old" drop downs. And this still only gets you to the page to fill out "new" activity details.
One improvement that we think might be worthwhile would be to display the actual "add" form (basically modedit) in the right hand pane (possibly with the help text at the top) so that it is 1 click to popup the browser, a scroll & click to select an item, and then you're at the "add" page. It's then just a single click to add (or cancel) the item.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your feedback on the new activity chooser. Just checking that you've found the switch for turning the activity chooser off in Settings > Course administration?
- it's optional as a user preference, look in the settings menu for the toggle.
- it is essential for newer users to display help about various activities.
- you can double-click on the items to select them easily
- the modedit forms can not be crammed into the dialog without significant changes (I would like to tackle those sometime but it means breaking backward compatibility for all 3rd party modules, so it needs to be done properly and with planning).
Could it be a shifted into a 3 col layout to help with lower res monitors and to remove the need to scroll within? See (rough) mock up.
I'm going to close this as the development is basically done for 2.3.
However, please create new issues to discuss bugs or improvements and link them to this one.

I don't understand this. If Firebug is disabled how it could cause the problem?
Does it mean that it's Firefox issue?
Yes, the bug description clearly indicates that extensions.ini didn't get updated - that would be a Firefox issue.
I don't understand either, but it's consistent.
@Wladimir - I cced you because you recently blogged about restartless extensions. This seems to have something to do with that. In fact the same thing happens with a disabled abp instead of firebug. It's as if Fx tries to call into the disabled restartless extension on first start after copying, expecting it to do something, which it doesn't.
Does this happen with 16 or 17?
Nevermind, looks like this is some kind of regression caused by bug 744833
How are you copying the profile files? Is there any chance that prefs.js isn't included in the copy, since that would probably cause this issue.
everything is copied
This happens whenever there is a disabled restartless add-on in the profile.

Silly mistake here, if the add-on is disabled then it won't be in bootstrappedAddons so everything goes horribly wrong.

get a copy of CROSSBORDER WARRIOR & read it. you'll see how Canada, GB & the USA "went out of their way" to assure that foreign nationals serving with allied units did NOT have to swear allegiance to any foreign power.
free dixie,sw
Thanks for the insight and clarification......but I still say that baby blue is a bad fashion choice for a warrior!
Oh, Yeah!....then there's that "oath" thing......
Yup, you did. I'd add that even if the President agrees to put U.S. troops under the command of a foreign general, he still retains the ultimate authority because he can withdraw them at any time. So we haven't surrended our sovereignity or ultimate control of our troops. We've just put them under the temporary tactical control of someone else, for purposes that presumably serve our interests.
It's a completely legitimate exercise of the powers of the C-in-C, even if some people might disagree with a specific application of those powers.
If it ever comes to that, it is good to know that the majority of the men and women of the United States Armed Forces hold the UN in quite low esteem and will be at our six when needed.
Who appointed this particular judge?
"I solemnly affirm to exercise in all loyalty, discretion and conscience the functions entrusted to me as a member of the international service of the United Nations, to discharge those functions and regulate my conduct with the interest of the United Nations only in view, and not to seek or accept instructions in respect to the performance of my duties from any government or other authority external to the organization."
Aside from noting that New was not a Commanding Officer, there's nothing the slightest bit wrong with that oath. A UN Commanding Officer is going to be entrusted with the command of troops from a variety of countries. Because of that, he has to act in accordance with the interests of the United Nations. I don't think we'd be too happy if some French U.N. Commanding Officer took U.S. troops and used them for French purposes without our consent.
Before anyone goes apoplectic about this, there are three huge safeguards to be considered.
First, we're not going to be sending U.N. troops on a mission, or putting a U.S. general in charge with that oath, unless we've already determined that our interests and those of the U.N. are aligned in the specific case at hand. For example, the Korean War was a U.N. military operation with MacArthur in charge. That wasn't a problem because there was no tension between the U.N. resolutions being enforced, and the policy interests of the United States.
Second, if the Commanding Officer ever feels that there is a conflict between his U.N. duties and his oath as a U.S. officer, he simply resigns. No problem.
Third, the President has the right to recall the troops and/or Commanding Officer if he sees a conflict developing between U.N. interests in that particular deployment and U.S. interests. So its not like we're ceding ultimate control of our military to some nefarious evildoers at the U.N.
Part, though not all, of the screw-up's in the Battle of the Bulge were because US forces on the north of the bulge, were phyicscally separated from their US commenders on the south/center/middle of the bulge and "had to be" under the control of Montgomery.
Much of the screw-ups in the Caen attacks after D Day and in Holland air attack (A Bridge Too Far" was because US troops and strategic policies were determined by the Brit's reluctance to attack without a specifically prepared/too great a demand to attack WITH too poor an attack planning.
Having your troops serve under allies isn't always the perfect situation. But its generally necessary at some level if you're going to fight alongside allies. To put it another way, I'd rather have had those U.S. troops under British command than have been doing all the fighting ourselves, with no British, Canadian, Polish, etc., support at all.
Of all the appropriate adjectives being thrown around on this thread the most powerful one to describe this is "unconstitutional".
The oath mentioned here has never been uttered by a US officer while acting as a US officer. I can assure you of that.
What does that have to do with New anyway, he was an E-4 about as far from a commander as one can get.
IMO, he was either used by partisan politics to try and smear der schlickmeister, or he was just a plain ol' disobedient soldier. Either way, court martial was right and so is this decision.
Further, the reality is that a U.S. officer in that position is going to behave the same way as a U.S. officer does when under direct American command. That is, he will refuse to execute any unlawful orders.
It would be one thing if we were irrevocably assigning U.S. troops to the U.N., but that's not what's happening. It's important to keep that in mind.
How so?
The term "competence of the court" is a legal term referring to the court's jurisdiction. He said that the issue is outside the scope of the court's authority.
OK. If the judge is saying the case is outside the court's jurisdiction, then how can the following have occurred? Shouldn't the court have declined the case?
The U.S. military can force its personnel to wear the blue beret of the United Nations and serve under the world body's command, a federal judge ruled.
Judge Paul Friedman upheld the military's conviction of former Army specialist Michael New, who refused to don the U.N. cap and shoulder patch and to serve in a peacekeeping mission in Macedonia nearly 10 years ago, the New York Sun r eported.
And clinton who lied under oath goes free, and the chairman of fannie mae gets a $1.3 million a year pension after mismanaging the fund to the tune of $9 billion.
Thanks. I always appreciate new target material.
Thought of you immediately...Time for a different challenge, right??
Oh, and that's another scenario I'd pay to see -- YOUR reaction to the order: "Keep that UN beret on your head, Capt. Mojo!"
The UN calls us stingy (even though we practically single-handedly finance their socialist organization and lead ALL catastrophe relief efforts throughout the world), and we say "okay, how many berets should we order?"
Unfortunately the good folks that are holding out hope that one day we'll give the blue helmeteers the big boot are living in a dream world.
"The UN calls us stingy (even though we practically single-handedly finance their socialist organization and lead ALL catastrophe relief efforts throughout the world), and we say "okay, how many berets should we order?"
The UN's hypocrisy is growing more bizarre by the day. I think France handed over a whopping $136,000 for the disaster.
And when will our legislators realize the UN is a front for socialism? (although this is just fine for the Dems, isn't it?) Naah, you're right -- ain't happening. The best we can do is keep on polishing our "skills" on those powder blue practice targets for the inevitable.
But for the same reason the USN repeatedly enters other countries "territorial waters" as a practice to prove we generally do not recognize the maritime territorial claims of other countries which we assert is "high seas" why on God's earth would we concede to decorating our soldiers in powder blue topped with a ridiculous oath?

London Calling for Top Fashion Students
Published: Monday 30 June 2014
The eccentricity of famous Brits, the evolution of discarded garments and childhood memories all inspired the latest fashion collections from Diploma students at Blackpool and The Fylde College.
For the students, it not only marked the culmination of two years of hard work, but their final showcase before many of them move on to university courses or careers in the fashion industry.
In a first for the College, two students from the course have been accepted into the elite London College of Fashion to study Pattern Cutting from September. Amelia Hall, 20 and Karl Hugo, 25, will study at one of the UK's top fashion colleges after attending interviews and showcasing their college portfolios to selectors.
Amelia's final collection, 'Home front Boudoir', used the second world war as inspiration but added a luxurious twist.
She said "Take wartime utilitarian work clothing suitable to any self-respecting land girl or working women on the home front in Britain and combine with classic nightwear. You reach a conclusion that details the 'one size fits all' campaign promoted by the government throughout the Second World War. Drawstrings, elastic and belt tie waists feature with the functionality of labour attire and luxurious fabrics associated with lingerie."
Karl's 'Insylum' offering is described as cool, clinical and contemporary and is inspired by the lunatic asylums of the 1930s.
He said: "Insylum is a fusion of geometric shapes, awkward lengths and oversized silhouettes. This modern collection is encapsulated by a mist of jaded tones of institutionalised green. Informed by the clothing of both inmates and staff alike, print has been used to good effect to reveal the hidden commentary covered up for so long."
Group collection 'GBE – Great British Eccentrics' celebrated the uniqueness of stars past and present including John Lennon, Noel Fielding, Pixie Geldof and Helena Bonham Carter and featured bang on trend Black and Rose Gold. The evolution of the garment was key in second collection 'Darwinian Drapery' where students were challenged to upcycle old, unwanted garments and breathe new life into them.
Students showcased their work in a professional standard catwalk show at the College's Theatre in front of friends, family, invited guests from industry and local schoolchildren with an interest in studying fashion.
Jules Burton, Programme Leader for Fashion and Clothing, praised the students' creativity:
"Our Extended Diploma Fashion and Clothing students have spent two years immersing themselves in the world of fashion, resulting in each producing their own personal collection. We've seen a good range of ideas and themes in the individual collections this year and the garments were really well constructed. The show went well, it was slick and well put together.
"The quality of work has been very high this year, evidenced by not just one but two students gaining coveted places at the London College of Fashion. I wish each of the students success in the future."

Greek Orzo Salad With Chickpeas & Artichoke Hearts
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 9 mins
Quintessential Greek flavors - feta, lemon and dill - combine perfectly in this hearty salad. To complete the Mediterranean mood, try pairing it with a Greek Retsina or a Portuguese Vinho Verde. From EatingWell magazine May/June 1996, and "EatingWell Serves Two" Dietary Exchanges: 4 starch, 2 vegetable, 1 very lean meat, 1 fat (4 Carbohydrate Serving). Posted for ZWT6. NOTE: Recipe amended to indicate fresh lemon juice and optional addition of some greek seasoning for more flavor.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup orzo pasta or 1⁄2 cup other tiny pasta
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, crushed and peeled
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1⁄8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 (7 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
- 1⁄3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons chopped of fresh mint or 1 1⁄2 teaspoons dried mint
- 1 large tomatoes, chopped (deseeded)
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon all purpose Greek seasoning (I recommend Konriko as it has no MSG)
- Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Cook orzo until just tender, about 9 minutes, or according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool. Press to remove excess water. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with oil.
- Mash garlic and salt into a paste with the back of a spoon in a medium bowl. Whisk in lemon juice and pepper. Add the cooked orzo, artichokes, chickpeas, feta, dill and mint; toss gently to combine. Add tomatoes and toss again.
- Divide spinach between 2 plates and top with the salad.
Most Helpful
This was very good and a hit at the potluck for which I prepared it. The only change I made to the ingredients was to use basil instead of dill because I have so much in my garden and my local grocery store didn't have dill. I also increased the number of servings to 8 which made WAY more than enough for a large crowd, with leftovers! Also, because it was for a group I tore the spinach up a little and just mixed it in with the salad. Great summer cold salad that is different from pasta and potato salads most people bring. Make sure to use fresh delicious tomatoes, the taste brings a lot to the dish.
Found the recipe on cooking.com (with same reference to eating well mag) and I was going to come to the zaar and add it so I wouldnt lose it. So glad I found you had posted it! I really enjoyed this, it was light, refreshing, flavorful and a perfect summer time meal. As an afterthought, I mixed the spinach right into the orzo salad instead of topping the spinach with the salad.
Only reason I am giving it 4 stars is I think it needs just a little "something" but can't quite put my finger on it. I am also wondering if using fresh lemon juice might have made a difference, as well as doubling the amount of herbs. but it is a healthy recipe, and as such is not laden with the heavy fats and salts we are so used to having in our foods. I will be making it again and give the increased herbs a try.
It made enough for 4 meals
Thanks for posting this so I don't lose it!!
Wish I had made more based on how quickly this was eaten up. I should of doubled it from the start :) Followed this exactly, except used a jar of 3 oz. of marinated artichokes. I wouldn't change one thing, this is so perfect the way it is!! Made for ZWT6 Zee Zesties!

Ten years ago, we found that a brief exposure to 10-50 mM ethanol prior to cardiac ischemia reduces infarct size by ~70% in a process that is dependent on activation of epsilon protein kinase C, 5PKC. In the past funding period, we found that activation of the mitochondrial enzyme, aldehyde dehydrogenase 2, ALDH2, appears to be required and sufficient for ethanol-induced cardiac protection from ischemia. The importance of mitochondrial ALDH2 in human health is also suggested by the increased propensity of 40% of East Asians that carry an inactivating mutation in the Aldh2 gene, Aldh2*2, to have a variety of chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress and the resulting accumulation of toxic aldehydes, including myocardial infarction. We plan to determine whether ethanol-induced cytoprotection requires 5PKC and ALDH2 activity, using genetically manipulated mice (AIM 1A). We will next identify the mechanisms that enable ethanol-induced entry of the cytosolic 5PKC into the mitochondria, where ALDH2 is found, (AIM 1B). We will then determine whether ALDH2 activation by ethanol and other activators reduces aldehydic adduct loads to reduce cytotoxicity (AIM 1C). We will determine whether acetaldehyde, which accumulates on ethanol treatment, contributes to ethanol-induced cardioprotection (AIM 1D) and determine whether ethanol- induced and 5PKC-mediated phosphorylation of ALDH2 protects ALDH2 activity from inactivation by long chain aldehydes and whether the effect is additive with new small molecule activators of ALDH2, called Alda (AIM 1E).
In AIM 2, we will study the loss of ethanol-induced cardioprotection due to ALDH2 inhibition by nitroglycerine (NTG). We will identify small molecule that inhibit NTG-induced ALDH2 inactivation (NTG tolerance) (AIM 2A, B) and will determine the effect of NTG tolerance inhibitors on ethanol-induced 5PKC- mediated cardioprotection from acute ischemic damage ex vivo and in animal models (AIM 2C). Together, these studies will elucidate fundamental processes associated with cytoprotection in animals with wildtype and inactive (ALDH2*2) form of ALDH2 and how moderate ethanol consumption affects them. Our studies will also provide new tools and test their application as treatment for cardiac ischemia using animal models.
Acute exposure to moderate levels of ethanol protects the heart from ischemic injury, such as that occurring during coronary bypass surgery. We recently found that a major enzyme involved in metabolizing toxins that accumulate during oxidative stress is critical for this ethanol-induced cardioprotection. Because of the potential toxic and addictive effects of ethanol, we searched for new compounds that directly activate this detoxifying enzyme and plan to test their efficacy in animal models of cardiac ischemia. This study may eventually provide new means to induce cytoprotection in humans subjected to ischemic insult.

A DISABLED man was found dead in his home yesterday after being beaten by raiders.
John Ellidge, a retired garage owner, and his wife Mary, both in their 60s, were tied up by robbers who burst into their bungalow in Paignton, Devon. Police said Mr Ellidge's death was being treated as murder. His wife was being treated in Torbay hospital.
Police later surrounded a car at a petrol station and arrested a man and a woman.
In Leeds, an 82-year-old man was beaten up and robbed of pounds 10 during a three-hour ordeal in which his house was ransacked.
Police described the attack as 'despicable and gratuitous'.
Police in London are hunting a man who beat up an 80-year-old widow and stole pounds 1.50.
The man broke into the first-floor council flat in Brixton, stuffed a towel in the woman's mouth and beat her about the face.
