Not long ago in an all-night online session at the Online Think Tank, the subject came up of Alternative Energy and power plants for aircraft. It turns out that there have been many alternative methods used to power aircraft. For instance in 1934 and 1935 a couple of steam-powered engines were built, no kidding and they worked too.

NASA has build hydrogen cell aircraft and Aerovironment thanks to the leadership of Mr. MacCready built a solar aircraft, which stayed aloft for 30 days. The question came up is it possible to take the power of the sun and focus it into a beam of light so powerful that it could run a steam-powered engine? Sure it could.

Wait, but how would you keep the aircraft pointed in the right direction? You would need a six-gyro unit to keep the mirrors pointed toward the sun and then reflected to the beam as the plane flew, turned, dived or climbed. Of course it would have to be within the aircraft body otherwise the drag might cause the aircraft to stall out or lose performance.

There are issues where the curves meet for co-efficients of drag and high-speed stalls for swept wing aircraft. And thus that would need to be considered if there were any protruding parts of the system.

Another idea floated was the collecting of electrons due to the electron exchange and static electricity coming off the wings and then use this for energy. Once, I had one idea that would be for GE Jet Engines. If they had a little vibration the LED light go from little green light to a Red light that would shine into the cockpit-warning pilot.

Could we use the static electricity from the friction of the air itself to power up at least part of the aircraft? I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.

HOME COOKING: TGI Friday's Restaurant Best Recipes You Can Cook At Home - TGI Friday's Buffalo Wings & Baked Potato Skins - Chocolate Malted Cake

From its opening in 1965, TGI Friday's Restaurant has celebrated its name, "Thank Goodness it's Friday!"

With great food like their Pecan-Crusted Chicken Salad, Strawberry Fields Salad with Chicken, Cedar Seared Salmon Salad, Jack Daniel's Pulled Pork Sandwich, Jack Daniel's Chicken Breast Dinner, Buffalo Wings, not to mention their famous Baked Potato Skins, Friday's has become a great place for family or romantic get togethers.

In 1973, Newsweek reported, "It all began modestly enough. An unmarried New York City perfume salesman named Alan Stillman decided that the coolest way to meet the stewardesses in his neighborhood would be to buy a broken down beer joint, jazz it up with Tiffany lamps and mod young waiters and christen it - with an eye toward attracting the career crowd - the T.G.I.F. (Thank God It's Friday) crowd.

"Within one week the police had to ring Friday's (as it quickly became known) with barricades to handle the nightly hordes of young singles. Hundreds of blatantly imitative emporiums soon opened their doors in scores of major cities - and an industry was born."

In 1982, Assistant Travel Writer, Judy Williamson, reported that "T.G.I. Friday's is the grand-daddy of the Singles Bars... places come and places go, but Friday's endures."

Then, as Nation's Restaurant News said, "The 1980's changed the market, with romantic affairs yielding to family affairs."

The menu features American recipes and has a special selection of foods marinated with 'Jack Daniels' liquor-flavored sauce.

 

>>> So if you want to prepare a delicious meal to impress family, friends or even a hot date - maybe someone you met on a romantic dating site - here are TGI Friday's most popular recipes of all...

 

--TGI Friday's Buffalo Wings--

carrot, cut in sticks,as garnish

celery, cut in sticks,as garnish

blue cheese dressing, for dipping in...

>> Sauce:

1/4 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons hot sauce

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons canola oil

2 teaspoons garlic salt

 

1 Line a large broiler pan with a rack with foil in the bottom to catch drippings.

2 Place oven rack to 3-4" from the heat source and turn on your broiler.

3 Cut each wing into three pieces- a mini drummette, a bent wing portion, and a pointy wing tip- discard the wing tips. 4 Combine sauce ingredients in a large bowl, then dump in chicken and mix to coat well.

5 Put chicken pieces onto the broiler rack, reserving the sauce in the bowl.

6 Broil for 12 minutes, then turn over the chicken and brush with reserved sauce.

11 Bake (instead of broiling) in the lined broiler pan at the temperature suggested on the chicken wing package for the time indicated for that amount of chicken on your package- this will probably be longer than the time for broiling from fresh. 12 Brush with the reserved sauce halfway through the baking time.

Why should I concern myself with human suffering?

I'm beginning to consider becoming vegetarian. I might begin a "free-range" diet, meaning the animals roam freely about a pasture as opposed to living life crammed in small quaters (in theory, that is).

Then I thought, why does it matter if animals suffer? Why should I care if a duck never gets to spread its wings....or if baby male chicks are thrown into a grinder?

Which then led me to think, why should I care about human suffering? Because society tells me I'm supposed to?

"Suffering as such is not a value; only man’s fight against suffering, is. If you choose to help a man who suffers, do it only on the ground of his virtues, of his fight to recover, of his rational record, or of the fact that he suffers unjustly; then your action is still a trade, and his virtue is the payment for your help. But to help a man who has no virtues, to help him on the ground of his suffering as such, to accept his faults, his need, as a claim—is to accept the mortgage of a zero on your values." http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/suffering.html

This, essentially, is a repudiation of altruism in its "hard" form. As for "random acts of kindness", do what you will but never feel guilty for not helping those whose need is not immediate (a car accident would be immediate; a man asking for money is not immediate.) "...the proof of an achieved self-esteem is your soul’s shudder of contempt and rebellion against the role of a sacrificial animal, [meaning hard altruism].

"Do not confuse altruism with kindness, good will or respect for the rights of others. These are not primaries, but consequences, which, in fact, altruism makes impossible. The issue is whether you do or do not have the right" to ignore human suffering, or "whether you must keep buying your life, dime by dime, from any beggar who might choose to approach you. The issue is whether the need of others is the first mortgage on your life and the moral purpose of your existence."

Human suffering is not "first mortgage on your life and the moral purpose of your existence." You may do as you wish, but never accept unearned guilt for your decision.
