----------------------------Original message----------------------------
From the Whiteboard Net***

Washington, District of Columbia:

With the Cold War over, the Pentagon is tackling a more
persistent foe: bland, boring food.

The weapon?  A mouth-watering "shelf-stable sandwich,"
an amalgam of chemically laden foodstuffs the Army
calls "a breakthrough in the state-of-the-art
technology for intermediate moisture foods."

"It's chewy, like a Slim Jim (meat stick) wrapped in
bread," said Jack Briggs, who developed the sandwich
over the past 18 months at the Army's food engineering
directorate in Natick, Massachusetts.  "Actually, it's
a little tougher than a Slim Jim."

Soldiers gave the new sandwich an 8.1 out of 9 on the
Army's "hedonic rating scale."  Hedonic is the Army
word for tasty.

The Pentagon plans to use what it hopes will be a
popular item to complement its Meals-Ready-to-Eat
(prepackaged rations), which didn't thrill the troops
in the Persian Gulf War.

"We can't give the damned things away to the Russians,
and they're hungry," Defense Secretary Dick Cheney
said.

The 3-ounce, 300 calorie prototype of the new sandwich
has a beef filling.  Briggs is experimenting with
poultry, ham and cheese variations.  "I think they'll
end up in civilian vending machines," he boasted.

While the  sandwiches supposedly will taste like
nachos, salami and other favorites, keeping them edible
on the battlefield, without refrigeration, takes
chemical wizardry.

For starters, the Army has invented a high-tech bread
that extends the "sandwich shelf stability" by using
"encapsulated acids" to keep the bacteria count down.

Also used are "shelf-stable fermented meats" that have
been mixed into "a synergistic anti-oxidant system made
up of tocopherols, ascorbyl palmitate, and BHA which
greatly enhanced the lipid stability."  That keeps them
from going rancid.

Tom Yang, who works with Briggs, volunteers another
indicator.  "Jack's had a lot of lunches with these,"
he reported.  "And he's still alive!"
==========
Sound yummy?
Just think about all the wonderful stuff
that goes into THESE little buggers.

Perhaps we should take up the practice followed in Britain. Very seldom
did we see buildings made of wood. Instead they appeared to be rock (some-
times covered with plaster or plaster-like material) or brick. And, of
course they had survived the ages.  Even the "modern" homes didn't seem to
be made of wood.

Seems to be with the 5/31/91 release of 5.1.  Last summer, when I was
scrambling to beat my deadline, I noticed that about 10 percent of
the Table of Contents entries had the wrong page numbers on
them...yarggggh...many calls to WP support later, they said they'd
send me the latest release.  I've not had any problems with it so

Oh.  Silly me.  I thought he meant bootleg copies of the manual, not
the software.  Yes, we have a site license.  The cost of copying the
manual is prohibitive.

Yup.  Fwp hits the nail on the head yet again.  Besides, I have replaced
all my grad school bootlegged software w/ paid-for copies since I am
employed.  It's the only thing I can think of that I have been unfail-
ingly virtuous about.

I believe there are a few standard non-existent SS no's (such as ones

Is this related to wimp for weakling, etc.  You know...all the qualities
George Bush embodies.

You know, it's interesting to me that Dan Quayle said a few years ago
that if his wife were raped he would have her carry the resulting child
to term--but now he says if his daughter were raped that she could have
an abortion. Hmmm....if I were Marilyn I'd be giving my relationship w/
Dan a good look.

I used to think that people who worried about such things were (dare
I say it?) paranoid.  However, I think that *not* worrying about them
shows an amazing amount of trust in your fellow human beings.  I guess
I've become more cynical than I like to think, because I do worry about
them - I think that a certain amount of paranoia is healthy.  The trick
is to balance it and not go overboard.  (yet another innocent remark,
not a veiled reference to any healthy paranoids on this list ;-)  )

When you think about the amount of credit card fraud going on (some
of my friends have had fraudulent charges show up on their bills)
it's hard not to worry about any numbers associated with you and
your credit report being misused.  Once it gets on your credit
report (and someone using your ssn could very easily get enough
other information to ruin you), it's incredibly difficult to get it
off.  Once your credit is ruined, there are a lot of things you'd
find more difficult to do.  For example, most apartment complexes
in this area (and in L.A.) do credit checks before renting to
anyone.  Try finding a good place to live with a bad credit report!
(I'm not sure how widespread this is across the country)  Often,
companies will check credit history when evaluating applicants, too.

The interrelationships of all the bits of information floating around
out there about individuals *does* scare me.  I don't have any
(or at least very much) control over that information - actually, I
have to make quite an effort to verify any of it.  Most people don't
know there is a problem until it causes them a great deal of trouble.

Well, Natalie, everybody knows Mac users are the snobs of the computer world,
and now you can see why. We don't think these things are worth mentioning
because they seem so self-evident to our right-hemisphere-dominated brains.

We also scorn people who actually read manuals because any well-designed
software is so intuitive that manuals are a waste of perfectly good trees.

You have an excellent point. Being a high school teacher, I see many children
having babies and have worked with teen-age mothers in a
teachers-as-counselors group.  However, there is another alternative,
which the girls I've worked with have never chosen, and that is adoption.

Gentle Don,
   BOMC is still offering this as a come-on.  I think that it is now in
the $30-40 range (I got mine at $19.95 a <few> years back).  The only
obligation is <the usual>.  You might want to try a used book store if
you are serial about this.  I have seen at least three copies in recent
months in my favourite hangouts (come to Bart's Books - the world's
largest open-air used book store!).

Meow!  If you can't speak a civilized language (such as cat), you might
as well speak English to make yourself understood.

Do men want that environment?  If men choose to do it or are forced to do
it, women should be able to choose to do it or be forced to do it.  No, I
don't want it.  But I don't know many men who do either.  (Besides, I'm
too old now. :-)
