RE: Trashing the KF airfoil as a pastime.
The worst offenders and the relative rankings of their offensive statements are always in scale to the individual's perceived importance and renown in the aviation arena. And the more they seem to know about mainstream aviation the more they seem to need to criticize things KF. Especially so if they are eating at the trough of public monies and supposed to be imparting knowledge to others. It is the open minds and simplistic needs of us nihilistic pleasure seekers that has taken this where it is now and I don't even want to try to define exactly where it is or what contribution it has made to society. But I see the KF as it is being used and enjoyed now and here as pleasurable and worthwhile and not worthy or deserving of any negative criticisms. In the idle hours I have thought that I have seen glimpses of a place where real airplanes might be able to use it and benefit from it. And that might be in a more constructive purpose than the simple joys of model building. I just haven't put it all together yet... Jack |
You might want to view these videos of a side by side comparison between a KFm3 airfoil and a conventional airfoil. The results were surprisingly similar. ENDURANCE TEST:

unfortunately im unable to view flash videos but would appreciate a description of whats shown if you could. or a link w/pics if there is one. i do have your book and couldnt believe my eyes when i built the little curvy wing paper airplane. it was like magic. |
I would suggest that it might be more productive for you to separate emotional issues (Whitcomb bashing your invention) from science issues (the results of Whitcomb's work). The area rule to which you refer is about a smooth transition of cross-sectional area in order to mitigate/eliminate transonic compressibility effects. If there is a sudden increase in cross section, there is a concomitant increase in flow velocity - at high transonic speeds this results in a bubble of air going supersonic, with extra drag as a result. You have used similar phrases ("displaced air filling in the body to reduce pressure effects") to describe your airfoils ... I find this comparison dubious at best. I would be interested in learning more about the transonic or supersonic properties of your airfoils, generally speaking any corner on a body in a supersonic flow will generate shock waves - which lead to energy loss (drag and to some extent structural heating). How does your airfoil avoid/mitigate this issue? If, in fact, "thefamoushat" is a university student who has access to a very low-speed tunnel, it might be interesting to have him do a study and publish the results. It would anecdotally appear that the stepped foils have good properties at very low Reynolds numbers ... would be nice to see some work done to corroborate that. |
thanks for the pm dickeroo. as i said it was a privilege to talk to the man who got me started with little planes.
note it is accepted that air is compressable or non-compressable fluid like water depending on supersonic speed or not. also airfolis are not really relevant at the reynolds numbers we as hobbyists are concerned with. |
I doubt that the NASA results were 'incorrect' as such. I'd be reasonably sure that they were accurate and 'correct' for the actual airfoil they tested under the conditions they tested it at. ok they tested a pointed nose airfoil which was by conventional thinking was sure to produce bad results at subsonic speeds, but they copied the shape direct from the patent document, which i understand was based on the airfoil used on your vary famous paper plane, so it's easy to understand why they went with that shape. I think this comes back to the point i made earlier; unless someone comes up with definitive coordinates of what each KFm airfoil actually is then test results of any type are always going to be highly variable. Steve Please note.. no criticism of anyone or any airfoil implied in above (or previous) post |
Perhaps we are still talking at cross purposes here. Is the intent of this thread to chase down the effects of the KF on general aviation aircraft, or are we limiting the discussion to radio control sizes and speeds only? I thought that we were doing the later, since it is obvious that nobody here has the kind of moolah required to produce large scale or near supersonic studies. However, bear in mind that even at hobby-level Reynolds numbers what we're discovering in these experiments can apply to various commercial and military applications. Consider the plans for airborne cellular antennas supported by solar-powered UAVs. Think also about military UAVs that need to remain airborne through conditions of violent wind and other difficulties. The stuff we're working on can directly impact these markets. You'd think somebody would be interested, eh? |
There is a lot of interest in vortex trapping airfoils (which is what the KF step is supposed to do). There has been some big budget wind tunnel testing done on such airfoils within the last few years. I've linked these test results a couple of times in this thread already, here's a link to my last post regarding these tests: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...&postcount=355
I appreciate that the airfoil tested was not a classic KF step design but the design intent is identical. Tests were over a range of Re numbers, some low enough to be relevant to R/C models. |
From a theoretical point of view it's hard to see how the airflow can quickly re-attach to the wing surface if it goes over a deep KF step, and unattached flow creates drag. This might explain why the KFm airfoils with multiple small steps appear to have lower drag than single deep step designs? It's quite possible that these smaller steps might work in a similar way to turbulators. |
In 1986, Demeter Fertis was granted a patent for a stepped airfoil with the step on top. He had the same patent examiner that we had fourteen years earlier, Galen Barefoot. This patent contains all of his wind tunnel data as well as all the claims he made for the stepped concept. Could someone give me their viewpoint on the data expressed by this patent? Does any of this data answer some of the questions brought up in this thread? I would appreciate your opinion concerning the claims that are made in this patent.

Interesting, thanks for posting. 1. Looks like the Re would be fairly high ... no way to tell definitively because no dimensions are provided regarding the length of the 'foil. I would say that based on the cartoon the section tested would be about the chord length of a Cessna type aircraft. 2. There are numerous mentions of a lower L/D ratio but improved stall performance. This is where it gets hairy for larger airplanes, they are looking for better L/D at cruise - the only place they care about stall performance is takeoff and landing. If you could make a variable geometry wing that could incorporate the step (that is the same weight or less than current flap/slat/spoiler configurations) then maybe Boeing would be interested. 3. The comparison does not illustrate performance when compared to wings/foils with high lift devices (flaps/slats). You posted one earlier but it does not show a KFm that also has high lift deevices. Could be an avenue for exploration ... problem would be that the L/D is not so great, so I'd think if you'd want a step, it would have to be variable geometry. 4. No explanation of the tests made to generate the L/D graphs. |
Yep, the main problem i have with the graphs used by Fertis in his patent are that there is no explanation of where they came from. I don't even see any statement definitively stating they are taken from actual wind tunnel tests, they may purely be Fertis's thoughts on how the airfoil 'might perform'. Any proper scientific testing would have full details of the apparatus used to perform the tests, when they were done, under what conditions and by whom.
taken on face value the graphs look good but there again Fertis has a vested interest in making his invention look good. I'd be looking for some better backup for his data, otherwise they could for all we know have been made up on the spot. |
I've lost count of the number of times guys have turned up at the field with wings that would horrify anyone with even a smattering of aeronautical theory. Usually they were nice bird-section RTF trainer wings that had been strengthened with numerous CF rods taped on the top and bottom. A bit like if you attached a number of spaced 6 inch PVC pipes to the wing of a real Piper Cub. I'd would not want to be on board that Cub, but the models flew just fine. It shook my world, but even though I have seen it many times I still could not bring myself to do it. <shudder> Another one sanded his KF steps so they had rounded trailing edges. It flew in a very standard way, neither remarkably good or bad just... er... normal. And look at the sharp LE, monstrously fat symmetrical wings some of the SPAD guys build. I haven't seen one of them fly but they keep building them so they must perform OK. The list goes on, and so does the debate. At the high end of contest flying, where 1000% effort is deemed worth 1% improvement, airfoil selection and construction may well come into play. |

It is predicted that tonight's weather will get down into the 20's here in Northern California and we should cover plants and be prepared for freezing. Right now, the sun shines brightly, with a slight cold breeze.
My thyroid condition keeps my body temperature below normal, so I am always cooler than the rest in a room. This type of weather chills me to my cells and depresses me as the third pair of socks on my feet although create a thick layer of cushion, does not keep me warm.
Often, I am forced to take hot showers to bring my body temperature up so that I can feel the actual temperature in a room. I am often shocked at how warm I have the house, but my body temperature does not heat up to match it. This is one of the areas guys I have dated just don't understand when I tell them I am cold. They look at me like it is typical for a woman to have this complaint, and shrug it off as if putting on a sweater or pulling on a blanket fixes it, when it rarely does.
I am puzzled by their lack of compassion and understanding that having a low body temperature and being cold isn't pleasant, and can be exhausting. A fast running metabolism is warm and high energy, so what do they think is happening if I am cold? I have yet to meet a man that is kind and helpful when I say that I am cold. What is it with men when they hear a woman say that she is cold?
This is the main reason that I love warm places, especially the tropics. I love being warm all the time. My dream is to live someplace warm, near the ocean, where I can have my windows open and the smell of flowers fill the room. People often think California is warm. This part of Northern California is not warm. In fact, those of us that grew up here laugh at the people who buy air conditioners, as we have no more than maybe 13 "hot" days a year. We are foggy and windy a great portion of the time, and our summer doesn't begin until late July and lasts to mid-October.
So, I have logs for a fire, and shortly will go out and cover my plants for tonight, but for this winter I have started to write the children story that has been rattling around in my head for so many years now. It will be my winter project to distract me from the cold. It also means from time to time I may not be writing as much here, depending on how well I can balance it all with work and Brian.
I will still occasionally need to get my ramblings out of my head so that I can get to my story plot, so I will come here and unload those thoughts, just like today when the cold was beginning to bug me. My nose and ears are ice cold right now.
I wonder if I was a dog in my past life.
Does Hashimotos disease make you cold too?
Until next time-

This year's Cyber Monday was one for the record books.
Market analyst ComScore reported that spending in the U.S. on Monday reached $1.465 billion, up 17 percent from a year ago, "representing the heaviest [U.S.] online spending day in history and the second day this season (in addition to Black Friday) to surpass $1 billion in sales."
ComScore said that the top category for sales was digital content and subscriptions (up 28 percent), followed by consumer electronics (up 24 percent and "buoyed by gains in smartphone sales"), computer hardware (up 22 percent, boosted by tablet sales), video games, consoles and accessories (up 18 percent) and jewelry and watches (up 17 percent).
That followed Black Friday's record online sales, which surpassed $1 billion for the first time, a 26 percent increase of last year's Black Friday.

The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control usually partners up with local veterinarians this month to provide rabies shots for pets at reduced cost clinics throughout the state.
But that won't happen in Lancaster County this year. The clinics here won't be sponsored by DHEC or the local health department.
Dr. Forrest Faulkner of Faulkner Animal Hospital is going it alone to provide rabies shots at 11 clinics between Thursday and May 6.
The issue, said Bill Sims of DHEC in Lancaster, is the $3 cost set by the State General Assembly.

CLEMSON, SC - A record-tying eight Clemson athletic programs posted team GPAs of over 3.0 and the department's 434 student-athletes had a combined 2.99 GPA, also tied for the best on record, according to data released by the University's Office of Institutional Research.
Leading the way was the women's diving program with a 3.58 GPA. The women's tennis (3.38) and rowing (3.34) programs were among the top academically as well after finishing in the top 20 of their respective final sports polls.
Other women's programs that were over the 3.0 mark were the women's soccer (3.30) and volleyball (3.01) teams. It was the 26th consecutive semester of at least a 3.0 GPA for the women's soccer program, the longest active streak in the department.
In terms of the men's sports, the tennis program had the top mark with a 3.31. That program also had a top-25 finish on the court and made a second-round NCAA Tournament appearance. The golf team posted a 3.12 GPA, the fourth consecutive semester of at least 3.0 for that program. All nine golfers were named to the academic honor roll, the first time every golfer had made at least a 3.0 in the same semester. The men's soccer program had a 3.03 GPA.
The Clemson baseball team had a strong 2.95, while the men's basketball program was at 2.72 and the football team posted a 2.60. Thirty members of the Tiger football team posted at least a 3.0, and the 2.60 team GPA was the fourth-best on record.
"The just-completed spring semester saw our student-athletes record an overall GPA of 2.99, tying for the highest mark in school history," said Steve Duzan, associate athletic director for academic services. "With eight teams posting a 3.0 or higher, it underscores our commitment to the development of the total person."
"Off the field, all 19 teams participated in community service and were proud to give back to the community. We believe these are all very important components of a comprehensive athletic program."
An even 200 of the 434 student-athletes were named to the academic honor roll (at least a 3.0 GPA) for the semester. The rowing program had the most selections with 47.

Wasn't a perfect game, however, as it had a few problems. Advertisement Chief among them was the fact it played like a glorified tech demo, with very little to offer outside of a joyous control mechanism and a catchy theme song. Fast forward to 2008, and we're presented with LocoRoco 2, the game's long-awaited sequel, which has things a little harder than you'd think. Tinker with the perfect control scheme and you'd ruin the whole thing. Add too much to the bare-bones original and you'd ruin the game's charming simplicity.It's a knife's edge! Let's hum a tune while skipping through to the review, see how LocoRoco 2 shapes up. Advertisement Loved Flesh: Like I said, the first LocoRoco was a glorified tech demo. LocoRoco 2 feels like a game. It has a story, it has a variety of distractions to the main game, it has puzzle sections, it even has the odd boss fight. Oh, and — get this — a Mui Mui rearmament program. Crucially, however, you never feel like these are tacked on, or are a bit too much. They just feel right, like this is what LocoRoco should have been all along.Curve: Seems some lessons were learned from the first game in terms of difficulty and progression. Actual level progression has been made easier, while for perfectionists, bonus items are now harder to find. Makes for a more enjoyable experience if you just want to blow through the game, and a more involving one if you want to find every hidden gem the game has to offer.Hated Expansion Pack: While the additions to the first game's structure are welcome, they didn't have to be so lazy with the rest of it. The bulk of the game – from music to menu screens to even some of the level templates – carry over from the first game. Not that this is entirely a bad thing, just would have been nice for a bit more new stuff for a game that's been two years in the making. Sponsored These days, good PSP games are hard to find. Great ones, like this, are even harder. LocoRoco 2 strikes a near-perfect balance between holding onto the key qualities of the original and making all-around improvements, and if you're a PSP owner starved for quality, original content on your handheld, you're mad if you don't at least give this game a look.LocoRoco 2 was developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan, published by Sony Computer Entertainment.

Rob Ford Shows Up To PFLAG Rainbow Flag-Raising After Saying He Would Not Attend (VIDEO, TWITTER)
TORONTO - The mayor of Canada's most populous city won cheers Thursday as he made an unexpected appearance at a rainbow flag-raising marking International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia.
The group behind the event — Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays — had initially said Toronto's Rob Ford had declined their invitation to the ceremony, a move they saw as a lost opportunity for the mayor.
But in a surprise showing, Ford appeared just as the ceremony got underway and took to the podium to read a proclamation against homophobia.
"Toronto is a society open to everyone," said the mayor, "including the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, two sprit and transsexual LGBT community, who are an important part of this city's diversity."
With a rainbow flag flying overhead, Ford added that Toronto was an active participant in the fight for the elimination of all forms of discrimination and was committed to equal treatment of all people.
He then received a cheer from the crowd as he hoisted a framed copy of the proclamation he had signed.
The mayor's appearance was significant as he has been accused of homophobia by some due to his decision not to attend Toronto's Pride Parade since he has taken office.
Ford has already said he will be skipping this year's parade as he will be at his family's cottage for the Canada Day holiday weekend, which is when the country's largest gay rights parade takes place.
It's the same reason he gave for missing last year's parade — a controversial move which drew much criticism.
Thursday's flag-raising ceremony was a LGBTQ outreach event which was not part of the city's Pride Week festivities.
The mayor's appearance was so unexpected that organizers had said all morning that Ford had indicated he was unavailable. Coun. Gord Perks was getting ready to read the proclamation before Ford showed up.
"I do thank the mayor for having taken the time to join us," said Irene Miller, president of PFLAG Toronto, adding that Ford and the other city councillors present had shown "tremendous support."
"We truly appreciate that you have taken the time to be here today," Miller said. "We cannot get our message out there alone, but together we can make that message heard all across this city."
A spokesman for Pride Toronto also singled out Ford's presence while addressing the crowd, and included the mayor in an expression of gratitude for anti-homophobia messages.
"Thank you all for the work you do each and every day in confronting, challenging and stopping homophobia and transphobia," said Luka Amona.
"Today we find strength in each other, we reaffirm our goal in eliminating homophobia and transphobia."
While Ford has said he will be skipping the city's Pride Parade this summer, he said he may stop by other Pride Week events depending on his schedule.
Toronto's Pride Week runs from June 22 to July 1.
Former city mayors David Miller, Mel Lastman and Barbara Hall all marched in the parade, which attracts hundred of thousands of people each year and brings millions of dollars into Toronto's economy.
Note to readers: This is a corrected story. An earlier version said Ford chose not to appear for the flag-raising.

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
MEDFORD — It was a goal former Tufts University president Lawrence S. Bacow highlighted in his inaugural address more than a decade ago: make admissions decisions without considering any student's ability to pay.
The university was able to swing two need-blind admissions cycles just before the financial crisis. Then, Tufts put that ambition on the shelf, where it remains.
The economy is improving and endowments are rebounding, but the generosity of many schools' financial aid policies is not.
In fact, colleges continue to cut back. Wesleyan University in Connecticut ended years of need-blind admissions for this fall's freshman class. Many more, including MIT, Cornell, and just this month the University of Virginia, have curtailed promises to replace loans with grants for low-income or middle-class families.

Prince battles video games
The Prince of Wales has called for lottery money to be used to tempt children back to books, theatre and the arts - and away from their computer games.
"One of the great battles we face today is to persuade our children away from the computer games towards what can only be described as worthwhile books," he said. Prince Charles spoke of the need to "expand the minds and fire the imagination" of children. "None of us can underestimate the importance of books in an age dominated by the computer screen and the constant wish for immediate gratification," he added.
He called for the scheme to be extended to the performing arts. "Why can't the Millennium Commission or the lottery think about an even more imaginative scheme which would enable many more children to witness the best theatre, music and other performing arts?" he said. 'Amazing value' "We have got the money through the lottery, I think many new generations of schoolchildren would be allowed access. "Just allow them to experience it." Author Salman Rushdie, who was at the event, said: "Now that Harry Potter has taught the nation to read again, maybe they will read something else - next step Tolstoy.
Chris Smith MP, former culture secretary,, pointed out afterwards that the government was to spend �40m on a scheme similar to the prince's. "It is all about getting the performing arts organisations working together with the schools," said Mr Smith. The event at the British Museum marked the completion of the Everyman Millennium Library project, which distributed free copies of 250 classic novels - from George Orwell's 1984 to Love in the Time of Cholera, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez - to 4,500 secondary schools. |

The American Lawyer Ranks WilmerHale Among Top 20 Pro Bono Firms
January 22, 2013
WilmerHale is pleased to announce the arrival of Arthur J. Gajarsa, formerly a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, to its Boston office. Judge Gajarsa joins the firm as senior counsel in the Intellectual Property Litigation Practice and will provide strategic counsel to the firm's clients in a wide range of IP-related issues.
"Upon concluding my thoroughly satisfying service as a judge on the Federal Circuit, I was sure my next professional home needed to be someplace special," said Judge Gajarsa. "WilmerHale is that place. The firm has developed a leading intellectual property practice with an extraordinary group of lawyers. I am happy to be a part of this team."
"We are proud and pleased to welcome Judge Gajarsa," said Bill Lee, current partner and former co-managing partner of WilmerHale. "He will be an invaluable asset to both our clients and our lawyers."
Lisa Pirozzolo, co-chair of WilmerHale's IP Litigation Practice, noted, "Judge Gajarsa is a perfect addition to our team. He will enhance our ability not only to provide effective legal counsel to clients, but also to give the best possible training to our next generation of lawyers."
Judge Gajarsa had a long and distinguished career in the judiciary. He was nominated to the Federal Circuit in 1996 by President Clinton, confirmed by the US Senate in 1997 and served for 15 years, retiring in June 2012.
Prior to his appointment, Judge Gajarsa was a well-recognized litigator who also practiced corporate law. His career included service at the Department of Commerce, Department of the Interior and Department of Defense.
Judge Gajarsa received a BSEE from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1962, a JD from Georgetown University Law Center in 1967, and an MA from Catholic University of America in 1968. He served as law clerk to the Honorable Joseph McGarraghy, United States District Court for the District of Columbia, from 1967 to 1968. He currently serves as chair of the Board of Trustees of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
WilmerHale's IP Litigation Practice has a leading patent, copyright and trademark litigation team backed by the academic and industry experience of more than 140 lawyers and technology specialists with scientific or technical degrees. Its lawyers have considerable experience litigating intellectual property cases in the Federal Circuit, federal district courts from coast to coast, and the US International Trade Commission, as well as managing disputes elsewhere. In 2012, the firm was named an "Intellectual Property Litigation Group of the Year" finalist by The American Lawyer and the "Patent Contentious Firm of the Year" in the United States and in the Northeast by Managing IP.

It has a gracefully curving frontside, with a field of view that covers almost 90 degrees on 6 x 9 film. The pinhole is located at the front of a curved film plane, which makes the images evenly bright from edge to edge, and gives them a curvilinear perspective. Oh. And even better?

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Global Peace Film Festival, Inc., Winter Park, FL, USA
As an educator at Valencia College in Orlando, I was thrilled to learn about the Global Peace Film Festival and actively seek a partnership with this nonprofit. The Peace and Justice Initiative at the college aims to teach nonviolence and respect for all people through curricular and co-curricular means. The Peace Film Festival is the perfect venue for using film to teach Global perspectives on peace as it unfolds in so many walks of life. Over the past few years we have worked closely with the Director, Nina Striech to select films appropriate for our learning environment. Nina has proven herself a master at connecting us with the best films, film directors and producers to bring peace education to life. The suggestion earlier this year to bring "Pray the Devil Back to Hell" with the guest Agnes Umunnna from Liberia proved to be a powerful learning experience for our students, faculty and staff alike. I am grateful to have this platform for peace education in Central Florida. Nina's tireless efforts have affected many lives and Valencia College is an avid fan of the festival and its mission.

Fired Catholic School Teacher Gives Birth to Son
A Montana Catholic school teacher who was fired for being pregnant and unmarried has filed a discrimination complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Shaela Evenson taught middle school literature and physical education at Butte Central Schools for 9 years until the Roman Catholic Diocese of Helena dismissed her on Jan. 10 for violating her employment contract, in which she agreed to follow Catholic teachings.
Her attorney, Brian Butler of Ohio, says the complaint was filed earlier this month. He argues an employer can't require employees to waive their rights under anti-discrimination laws.
The Montana Standard reports (http://bit.ly/1hXWQUC ) Evenson's son, Brody Tobin Evenson, was born on March 7 in Butte. He's the first child for Evenson and her partner, Marilyn Tobin.
Both diocese Superintendent Pat Haggarty and Butler told the newspaper that Evenson wasn't fired for being a lesbian.

Fresh & Easy is temporarily closing six grocery stores in Las Vegas as a result of the economic recession, a corporate spokesman said Monday.
The stores set to close by Nov. 2 are at Desert Inn and Pecos roads; Vegas Drive and Jones Boulevard; Lake Mead and Hollywood boulevards; Warm Springs Road and Eastern Avenue; Eastern and Fremont Street; and Lake Mead and Las Vegas Boulevard.
"It's just a combination of several different things," Fresh & Easy spokesman Brendan Wonnacott said from Los Angeles. "It's one of the very hardest-hit areas economically. The main thing is all the jobs are safe."
About 100 employees are affected by the closures but will be transferred to nearby stores where possible, Wonnacott said. Fresh & Easy employs 420 people in Las Vegas, he said.
"Some of our best-performing stores are in Las Vegas. Of course, these locations are slower than the others," Wonnacott said. "The tough part is we do see strong potential for these sites and we plan to reopen them."
The company plans to hold onto retail sites with upside potential as it continues with an ambitious and aggressive expansion, Wonnacott said.
Philip Clarke, who is replacing Terry Leahy as chief executive officer of parent company Tesco in March, announced plans to expand from 168 Fresh & Easy stores now in the United States to 400 by February 2013. Tesco had originally said it would have at least 200 stores in the United States by the end of 2009.
In addition to the stores in Las Vegas, Tesco is "mothballing" six stores in Phoenix and one in Moreno Valley, Calif. Those regions all have shrinking populations, high percentage of housing foreclosures and high unemployment rates.
Most of the closures are C-level stores, or those doing less than $50,000 in weekly sales.
"Many commercial and residential developments have been put on hold or stopped entirely around these stores and they are not performing in line with our other locations," Fresh & Easy Chief Executive Tim Mason said in a company statement. "We will reopen these stores once the markets have been given some time to recover."
Fresh & Easy opened its first 15 stores in Las Vegas in 2007, taking some of the former Rite-Aid locations, and quickly expanded to 27 stores in the valley.
Tesco reported a loss of $151 million for its Fresh & Easy grocery store chain in the United States in the first half of the fiscal year, despite reporting revenue of $388 million, a 47 percent increase over the same year-ago period.
Tesco officials said a "significant" amount of the loss was due to its buyout earlier this year of Wild Rocket Foods, Fresh & Easy's former in-house produce supplier, and 2 Sisters Food Group, its former in-house meat supplier.
Fresh & Easy joins a number of other grocery chains that have closed stores in Las Vegas over the past three years, including Albertsons and Vons. Hispanic grocers Mercado del Pueblo and Los Compadres also closed stores.

Taste of Home Cooking Lunch Recipe That Your Kid Will Eat
As a parent, I try to make sure my kids eat healthy food that actually tastes good. There are plenty of quick fix lunches out there for our children that may or may not be nutritional. Check out this recipe and give it a try. The kiddos may thank you.

Since no liquids get through security, I never bother with that. You can always get water and milk at the airport and hopefully they provide you with something on your flight. My recommendations for drinks while flying are like they are at home – don't drink your calories unless it's milk. Vacations are usually a time to splurge so save the calories for a dessert or special dinner rather than using them up on juice or blended coffee drinks. Not only do these drinks use up valuable calories they are loaded with sugar so they get your blood glucose levels rolling which is going to cause you to feel hungry while up in the air when good food choices are usually not available.
As for the food to bring on a plane. If you are anything like we just were you don't have the luxury of taking a nice cooler full of fresh fruit, dairy and vegetables on because you are already maxed out with carry-on items, but you can still pack some small non-perishables to survive that long flight. I made a bunch of PB&J sandwiches on whole wheat…seven to be exact because we were traveling with others and why leave any bread at home since it would be stale by the time we got back. PB&J is great because it doesn't have to be refrigerated. If you can get your hands on one of those little sandwich boxes to protect it that is ideal, then you don't end up with a squashed sandwich. I used whole wheat bread for filling fiber and peanut butter provides not only protein but satiating healthy fat.
In addition to the sandwiches we bought some trail mix. I usually make my own but we were a little short on time and I have been waiting to try the "Trail Mix Bar" at the Fresh Market near our house. This was a good excuse to go there and sample their mixes. A good (filling) trail mix should have a protein source and a fiber source in it. This is optimal for slow digestion and extended energy. Common protein sources include nuts, seeds, and soy beans. Common sources of fiber include whole grains (crackers) and dried fruits. A little treat like chocolate mixed in is okay, but make sure it only makes up a small percentage of the mix – and go for dark chocolate so you get the antioxidants! A few other items I picked up were cereal bars (NutriGrain or the equivalent…look for whole grain in the ingredients), WholeGrain Goldfish, Kashi crackers and sunflower seeds (for Mike). We are lucky to be traveling to family and they were kind enough to take a small grocery order for us so we'll have some go-to healthy foods for the week to at least use as snacks and breakfast when we arrive.
At the airport the choices are hit or miss. Some terminals seem to have several healthy options and others seem to have none. I usually just try to buy a banana or some other kind of fresh fruit. If yogurt is available I'll get that too. This trip I saw prepacked hummus and energy bars which are pretty easy to toss in your bag and eat in flight – they supply protein and fiber so they should provide a good couple hours of hunger relief. We flew JetBlue and I thought their in-flight choices were pretty good — and for just $6.
The days before traveling with a kid were easy to take care of myself, but now that I travel with Will it's even more important to have some good food choices on hand so that he is not hungry (and therefore cranky) while traveling. It takes a little planning but that planning goes a long way so next time you book a trip, make a quick food plan too and enjoy the flight!

Subject: | Chinese character for Lan - "Beautiful Orchid" |
Author: | Scott Church (guest, 126.96.36.199) |
Date: | October 16, 2005 at 6:29:03 PM |
My daughter Claire Lan Du was adopted from China in August of 2003. She is now about 3 1/2 years old. We were told that her given Chinese name "Lan" means "beautiful orchid", which agrees with the translation "orchid" given here. I was wondering if anyone more literate in Chinese (Mandarin) than I am could show me the character for this and tell me where ti came from (i.e. what other characters if any, were used to create it and what they mean). Thanks! - Scott Church (Bothell, WA).

UP minister Azam Khan on Tuesday put the interests of his state before his injured pride and said chief minister Akhilesh Yadav should go ahead with his United States visit in July despite the former's "humiliating" detention at Boston airport last month.
"My humiliation cannot be linked to that July visit. They are different issues. I would like the chief minister to visit the United States. Uttar Pradesh's welfare is more important than me. While I am grateful to the chief minister for siding with me after my humiliation in the US, personally speaking I was in favour of his going ahead with his Harvard lecture (which Yadav cancelled)," he said.
"It was a collective decision to call off the Harvard lecture in protest against the ill-treatment meted out to me by US officials in Boston," Khan told Hindustan Times on the phone from Rampur on Monday after returning from South Africa, where the chartered flight he was travelling in landed at a military airbase in Pretoria, invoking protests there.

She sure is getting close! A very pregnant looking Jessica Simpson was spotted going out to lunch with her fiance, Eric Johnson, while in Los Angeles,Calif. on Saturday afternoon.
The pregnant celebrity mama-to-be dressed her bump in quite a colorful maxi dress along with a pink and orange straw bag. I'd hate to say this, but it looks so much like a Muumuu, which is something you really don't see stars wearing these days.

Justin Morneau Is Confident He'll Be Ready For The First Game Of The Season
February 22, 2011 – 10:30 am by Chris FedorLast year Justin Morneau was having a tremendous season, he was playing like an MVP, and looked like the best hitter in baseball, but his season ended in early July due to a concussion. It has been nearly eight months since Morneau's season was cut short and he is still not yet ready for spring training. Even though Minnesota was able to stay afloat last year and make it to the playoffs, the Twins just aren't the same team with Morneau and they will need their former MVP if they want to capture the AL Central once again.
Justin Morneau joined ESPN 1500 in Minneapolis with Reusse and Mackey to talk about whether or not he's making progress, when he started working out, the changes that the team has made this offseason, and how much trepidation he will have once he finally returns from his injury.
How much progress he is making and how he measures it:
"Just kinda look at what I'm able to do compared to where I was at. I've been cleared to do all baseball activities, just haven't been cleared to play in a game yet. I think that's more to do with just seeing how the workouts go and seeing how it goes through the day being out there on the field. You work out on your own, you're working hard, it's intense and all the rest of it, but when you get out there with the boys running around, the intensity level picks up a little bit and that competition kicks in and I just want to see how my body is going to react to that. We're not in a rush to be ready for the first spring training game, we're in a rush to be ready for the first game of the season against Toronto. If I don't play for the first week or even the first two weeks, all it is is timing and I've been around long enough where my swing is what it is, the defense is what it is, and if I'm healthy I feel like I can help this team win. The key is being healthy and not rushing things. There's no reason to rush things. I think we're doing pretty good right now and we feel pretty confident that we're going to be good to go when we need to start."
When he first started working out again:
"After New year's. I was working out here and there and kinda testing things and seeing how things go in November in December. Didn't start doing much until the middle of November. Took some time off after the season and started working out a little bit. After New Years kinda got in there and I was surprised that I was able to get through most of the days. Usually got worn out pretty quick which was to be expected but I was able to do everything and started hitting three weeks ago, started playing catch about a month ago and normally I don't start playing catch until a couple of weeks before I leave for spring training. I've been doing baseball activity and full workouts for a good six weeks and baseball activities for about a month and everything has gone well."
The changes the team made in the offseason:
"It's a different look. The bullpen is going to be a little bit different. We've got out anchor back at the end there and I'm looking forward to seeing that. We spend a lot of time together down here in the spring. Most guys get here and I'm usually here before seven and almost everybody is here before eight. Long days and long bus rides with where we're located. Most trips are two hours so you spend a lot of time with the guys and get to know each other quick. By the time it starts we should be a pretty close knit group. It's always interesting. We usually don't see this big of a turnover on a team that's expected to be a playoff team. Usually it's rebuilding or that kind of thing and we're definitely not rebuilding. Our goal is to make the playoffs and make a run in the playoffs and take that next step. We brought in some guys, lost some guys, but the guys that are here I think are able to help us win."
Whether or not he will have some trepidation returning from another concussion:
"I'm human and I understand this after going through this for so long that there are going to be little tests along the way. First time I dive for a ground ball, first time I slide to break up a double play, and there's going to be stuff along the way, first time I get in there and the adrenaline is really going the first at bat, and all the rest of that stuff. Once we do it a few times and realize everything is okay and it's going well then you sort of build that confidence. That's what spring training will be good for is to get through all that stuff without having to think about it and by the time the regular season comes I'm not sitting there going what if, what if and I can just play the game the way I know how. I've been through it once before in '05 when I got hit in the head by a lefty and had a concussion, went on the DL for two weeks, and came back., getting back into the batter's box you have the flashbacks of going what happens if he lets it fly, am I going to get out of the way in time? It took a little bit of time to get over that, but you eventually build up the confidence and trust yourself enough that you're an athlete and you can get out of the way, make those adjustments, and hopefully everything will come out that way and we will be able to get past all of that and when the season starts it will be just about playing baseball, trying to get to the playoffs, and win the World Series."

On Playing the Piano
One of the first things a child is taught when learning the piano is to play a C-major scale. We always begin with the simple fingering 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5, and we are shown how to exploit the special character of the human hand and the mobile thumb by crossing the thumb under the third finger as we play the scale. In other scales (E-flat for example), we cross the thumb even more awkwardly under the fourth finger. This is a basic part of piano technique as it is conceived in conservatories the world over. Nevertheless, it is a mark of the extraordinary variability of approaches to playing the piano that this fundamental practice is not as useful for some pianists as piano teachers think. A pupil of the late Dinu Lipatti, one of the most interesting pianists of this century, told me that Lipatti once remarked: "You know, it has been at least ten years since I last crossed my thumb under the third finger."
I was pleased to hear this, because I too have discovered that this position is in fact very uncomfortable. Perhaps that is because my thumb is relatively short, not even reaching up to the middle joint of my second finger. I therefore find that wiggling my thumb into an awkward position moves the hand into an inconvenient angle and it is better for me to keep my hand at a steady angle and displace the arm quickly to the right when shifting from the third finger to the thumb, and I have learned how to accomplish this legato.
Everything depends, of course, on the shape of the hand, and it must be stressed that there is no type of hand that is more suited to the piano than another. Josef Hofmann, one of the greatest pianists that I have ever heard—certainly the most remarkable in his control of the widest possible range and variety of tone color—had a hand so small that he could reach no more than the eight notes of an octave, and Steinway built him a special piano in which the ivories were slightly narrower so that he could reach a ninth. His friend Sergei Rachmaninoff had a very large hand, as did Rudolf Serkin, and Sviatoslav Richter could not only reach a twelfth but could play the last chord of the Schumann Toccata all at once without arpeggiation—an effect that would certainly have astonished the composer. My teacher Moriz Rosenthal, famous for his technique, had a small hand with stubby fingers; Vladimir Horowitz's fingers were exceptionally long, while Robert Casadesus had fingers so thick that he had trouble fitting them in between the black keys. There is no such thing as an ideal pianist's hand.
In addition, there is no agreement on how to hold the hand at the piano: most children are taught to curve their fingers and place the wrist in a middle position, neither too low nor too high, but of course…

Another take on Spaghetti….. Spaghetti Bolognese, So Good!
Tags: pasta, quick fix meal, spaghetti
Surprise Surprise another pasta recipe. If you couldn't tell, I love making anything that involves pasta.
I cut out this recipe from William Sonoma's catalog and adapted it a bit for to make it a quick weeknight dinner. If you've never tried Spaghetti Bolognese before, give it a try, my kids and my husband gave it 2 thumbs up. I will be enjoying it for lunch tomorrow as well!
Again, feel free to fancy it up a bit with your own homemade sauce. I love the Classico sauces and find it a real time saver to just jazz those up a bit. The color of this sauce is a creamy red/orange. My husband was a little skeptical until he took one bite. I, of course said, I told you, you'd love it! The bacon is surprisingly really good in the sauce. It gives it a real smoky flavor. If you are tired of the same old spaghetti, this is a great way to mix it up. I will be making it again very soon. Enjoy!
Spaghetti Bolognese
12 strips uncooked bacon, cut into ½ inch pieces
1 medium onion, diced
1 lb ground beef
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 26 oz jar Classico Pasta Sauce (or other favorite brand, or homemade)
1 ¼ Cups half and half (can also use regular milk)
¼ Cup parmesan cheese
2. Meanwhile cook pasta according to package directions. Spoon noodles onto a large plate and pour sauce right on top. Sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese if desired.

The name sounds just like Agnese from one of the past Bachelor shows.
Those are great pictures! I try so hard for my pictures to turn out, since I don't have the best camera.
I've never tried bolognese before, but I'd love to. Sounds very Mario Batali.
King of Italy,
Very funny Mr. Picky Palate. I love when you hack on!Emiline,
Thanks! I was lucky enough to get a new camera a few months ago and boy what a difference it made with my pictures. However, your pictures always look great to me.I was so surprised at how yummy this dish was. Have a great day!
I love how thick the sauce looks. I hate it when spaghetti sauce is thin and doesn't stay on top of the pasta. This sounds very good!!
I saw this recipe too in Williams Sonoma and it looked DELISH! I am so glad you posted it here. Don't you LOVE that magazine?
I Love William Sonoma period! I wish I could buy whatever I wanted from there!
Sunday before Christmas, I fixed it for my family. They loved it! I did a lower fat version. Used Milk and Ground chicken and turkey bacon. It was tasty.
Glad to hear the lower fat version is good Jill. Glad your family enjoyed! Have a great Christmas!!
Even though I am not much of a Spaghetti Bolognese person, yours looks really good, so I am gonna try it soon. Right now I am in the middle of hosting a Pantry Challenge Contest on my blog ( http://weblog.xanga.com/Divine_Diva_in_NC ), and we have no ground meat LOL
I found your link because Laura at http://orgjunkie.com/2008/04/menu-plan-monday-april-28th.html posted this recipe on her weekly menu.
I am so glad i found you. I love your blog!

It looks like a sunflower seed on wheels. Unlike sunflower seeds, R32 aren't tasty, they are so fugly. One of my co-workers bought one. 4 the first couple of months he kept trying to park by me. I finally confronted him because I was tired of moving my car on lunch break. I told him to keep that ugly thing away from my car. Subaru is nowhere near affiliated with VW. He was like yeah but the R32 is faster and has better tuning. I was like that ugly car. A guy driving that car is like a guy pulling a tampon out, it just doesn't look rite. Just my opinion. Now the older fat pig versions looked better. I liked those, only the looks. I'd never by a vw.

You cannot go off of just 1 time. The last R32 saw some mag times as high as mid 14's (I remember a 14.5 once) but most well driven ones were getting very high 13's at the track and trapping 100mph. Probably the same here. I still think it should be more powerful to compete at that price range, but the R32 is about more than just power. If anyone remembers, the R32 beat out both the Evo and STi in handling contest for two major mags, and it does so with a MUCH MUCH nicer interior, as well as braking better with the rear room of a hatch.
Maybe to some of you it may not seem worth it, but to other it was. A friend of mine was looking between STi and R32. He drove both and the STi was obviously faster. But in the end, the ride quality, interior, handling, exhaust note, and style of the R32 was superior.. and he bought the R32.
I like the car. Sure it lacks power, but it can justify the price in other ways. I know people that get mid 13's out of the car with just intake and ecu reflash though, so I think VW should just sell the car from the factory with that reflashed ECU map already programmed as the stock map.
Just call me Clark Kent

Beat the Evo in a handling competition? Im gonna need a scan of that article.
I wouldnt say its interior is that nice. Ive never been a fan. My friend has a 04 Jetta GLI and it has the same interior, same monsoon stereo, same brushed aluminum trim. It looks nice, but not that great. Now Infiniti, Porsche and Audi make some beautiful interiors (roar! yes i know Porsche owns VW & Audi).
VW interiors are just black plastic molded and they ALL look the same (minus the Passat and Touareg).
I worked at a Audi/VW as a swap driver, I've spent enough time in them to not be impressed by the VW interiors.

Yep. Had a 2000 Passat w/ the 1.8Turbo motor. 'LOVED the way it drove. However, it made it through the 36K miles of warranty coverage and then begin to systematically eat any and all available cash and credit as we tried to keep it on the road. It had electical gremlins that would do everything from make the CD player act up to ignition problems. The 'learning' tiptronic transmission would get unhappy every couple of months and decide that it could not figure out which gear to use when you were accellerating hard. You'd be on an interstate on ramp trying to get up to speed for a merge into traffic and the damn thing would start bucking so hard I thought it would destroy itself. VW had it several times for that problem and they never found a reason for it. The best they could do was to show me the dance you do to reset the transmission computer to default settings. You know... turn the ignition on but don't start the engine, open the drivers door, put the tranmission in neutral, hold your tongue in your left cheek, cross your legs, and with your left foot press the gas 3 times quickly within 5 seconds..... the entire dash would blink 3 times and you were back to default settings on the tranny. It would behave for about a month. Finally, the anti-lock brakes started making funny noises and we quickly traded it in on a 2004 Saturn Vue V6 with the Honda power train. That has been a very good buy. Careful running those guys. That Honda motor puts out 250 HP and the tranny does a pretty good job of putting it on the ground. And, the Vue is not that heavy. Pretty quick for a plastic grocery getter/boat tower.Originally Posted by Griswold
Further, I know of four people that own late model Passats or Golf/GTIs that have had major issues. I really like the way the VWs drive and seriously thought about a GTI when I bought the 06 WRX Wagon, but, I could not get past my own experience with the VW reliability issues.
Yeah, my Audi threw the timing belt tensioner at 35k miles, forced me to replace 6 of the 8 front control arms before 40k miles, had a vac leak that 2 dealers could not find which resulted in a constant CEL, cruise control died, sunroof leaked, 2 door speakers died, ignition control amplifier died causing misfires on cylinder 2, etc, etc, etc.Originally Posted by goBoating
Most of the after warranty fixes I did myself, but the parts are hugely expensive. It practically put me into convulsive shock.

Review: HP Veer 4G
The webOS music app lets you sort through your tunes via the usual methods: album, artist, song, genre, etc. In the main page, you can see how many songs you have, and a shortcut will let you shuffle and start playing your entire library immediately.
The player interface itself is pretty cool. It will show the album art or the list of tracks, whichever you choose. You can loop the songs, shuffle them, or just sit back and enjoy. Rather than having to hit a small little button, a light press on the screen will pause playback. Press again to resume. You can also swipe in either direction to the previous or next track.
The music player also offers its own search function, which lets you search for YouTube or Amazon MP3 information about the current artist playing. The Amazon MP3 download app is pre-installed in case you want to purchase music directly from your handset.
AD article continues below...
What really kills the Veer as an entertainment device is the lack of 3.5mm headset jack. Worse, the mag-safe accessory that adds a 3.5mm headset jack doesn't attach firmly enough, and can easily be pulled off with a slight tug of the headphone cable. This is truly annoying.
VideoThe Veer has a video application as well as a YouTube application. The video app is meant to play back videos shot with the Veer and upload them to destinations such as Facebook or YouTube. It wouldn't see/play back movie files that I sideloaded.
The YouTube application isn't bad. The home page shows the top trending videos on the site as well as search features. Watching video on a 2.6-inch screen is hardly satisfying, though.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook.
Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Landing in a full dive, I fell "splat" on my stomach directly onto the gravel. No, really...don't feel sorry for me because the incident occurred while enjoying a beautiful day while cycling on the Sound of Music tour in Salzburg, Austria. My (rather graceful, I do say...) accident occurred while trying to avoid crashing into my daughter. The imaginary bee she was vigorously shooing had caused her to precariously lose balance and fall from her bike. While she ended up physically fine, mine was another story.
But, my mother always taught me, "get back up on the horse" after any fall. So, I patched my wounds, struggled quickly to regain my dignity and got back on the bike to complete the ride.
Later, I bandaged my wrist and knee then placed medical glue on my chin. In addition, I took a few ibuprofens for inflammation and pain. Unfortunately, I had forgotten that ibuprofen upsets my stomach and the resultant acid reflux (severe heartburn) was almost as uncomfortable as the injuries themselves.
Luckily, I do not routine suffer from daily acid reflux and I am glad for it because I love all the foods that promote acid reflux (chocolate, caffeine, red wine, etc.). I am even more glad to be reflux-free as I now know that untreated acid reflux (GERD: gastroesophageal reflux disease) may increase the risk of heart attack.
The May 15, 2014 issue of Family Practice News cites a study presented at the annual Digestive Disease Week meeting. The patients in the study initially underwent studies using special cameras in the stomach and esophagus (endoscopes) to confirm GERD diagnosis.
Initially, researchers found a six-fold increase risk of heart attack in patients with GERD compared to controls (those without GERD). However, the analysis then adjusted for major heart disease risk factors including obesity, hypertension, diabetes, tobacco and sex. They then found that GERD sufferers experienced a 57% increase risk for first heart attack within the next 5 years (duration of the study).
Interestingly, Dr. Prakash (MetroHealth Medical Center and Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland) found that medications prescribed for GERD called proton-pump inhibitors (e.g. Prilosec and Nexium) were not associated with an increased heart attack risk. Importantly, "effective treatment of GERD" may protect against heart attack. Fascinating information.
How do you know if you have the occasional indigestion and how do you know if you have acid reflux disease? Dr Prakash states that GERD is extremely common and may affect 30-40% of the U.S. population. Other than improving lifestyle choices such as maintaining healthy weight and avoiding acid-producing foods, it is important to discuss your symptoms and concerns with your medical provider. Determine how best to manage your health and review treatment options then consider specialty referral to a gastroenterologist if symptoms persist.
My rare acid reflux is easily controlled with ibuprofen-avoidance and it is good to know that doing so may help me (along with many others) to lower the risk for future heart attack.
My stomach will heal (as will my cycling wounds). But since my cycling incident, I will never be able to watch the Sound of Music with the same level of romanticism. (Singing) "The hills are alive"...splat!

Building season is upon us. This year's project - FINALLY ! - is a half scale Nieuport 11. The past 3 flying seasons I have been flying a 1/3 scale N-11 of my own design. I have enlarged my 1/3 scale plans to half scale. There are a few changes I have made to accommodate the large size......some of which are thinner air foil, four more laminations to the tail group outline and several more changes that will be made as that part of the build occurs.
Basically the fuse is a 1/8" lite ply box up front with 3/8" bass wood sticks for the back end. The front of the fuse will have 3/8" balsa filler to absorb some of the engine impulses.
The wings are 1/4" x 3/4" bass wood spars on the top and bottom wings.......top wing has an upper and lower front and rear spar arrangement......the bottom wing has an upper and lower spar.
The overall functional design has not been changed very much - just made bigger.
Wings span is 12 feet 4 inches.....fuse is about 9 feet long and just under 4 feet high.
Power is an Avio MacMinarelli 125 cc gas twin......ignition is magneto.
Expected weight range is 55 to 65 pounds. We will just have to wait (hahaha, get it - wait, weight) to see how close I get to the estimate.
I hope the new format for the forum becomes easier for me as the build progresses because it has been troublesome since the change over........especially posting pictures.
I will try to post some start up pictures this week as time permits..........
