The new Pibb Zero--a diet version of Pibb Xtra which is the new version of the old Mr. Pibb that everybody misses. A friend sent this one to me. It smells like "real deal Pibb", and when the stuff first hits your tastebuds it tastes like Pibb Xtra, but when it hits the back of your tounge, all bets off, its yucky.
I think this stuff can be found in Kansas and some other midwestern states.

We first encountered Two Below Zero in 2008, when Marna's mom came up to Breckenridge, CO one Thanksgiving. If memory serves, Marna found a flyer in the Breckenridge Visitor Center. We booked a trip, and have been back every year but one ever since. The sleigh rides and dinner have become part of our annual family retreat - and this year it also happened to be Marna's birthday on the night we went.
The Two Below Zero sleigh and dinner ride starts at the Frisco, CO Nordic Center, about fifteen minutes away from the lodge in Breckenridge, CO. Once all the parties arrive, pictures with the sleigh and mules get taken. From there we load up and take the 3/4 mile ride out to tents for dinner. The tents themselves have come a long ways since we started going. It has been great to see their business grow.
Dinner starts with nice warm soup, followed by chicken and steak dinner with vegetables and a baked potato, and finishes off with a slice of warm apple pie. And it's all baked right there on the premises. Along the way, musician David Peel plays entertaining songs on the center stage. Some are more for the kids, some more for the adults, and always a foot-stomping good time.
The evening finishes up with the return sleigh ride where you can pick up souvenir pictures of your family with the mules. It was a fun this year as all the others, and we look forward to the next time.
Origen del Nombre
En la epoca en que se estaba desarrollando el tercer prototipo del caza japones, a los modelos producidos para la aviacion naval se les asignaba los números de tipo basados en el último número del año japones corriente, y como 1940 era el año 2600 en el calendario japonés, la serie A6M fue conocida como Zero .
La Invencibilidad Japonesa
Para los Japoneses el Zero era todo lo que el Spitfire representó para la nación Britanica. Simbolizaba la conducta de la guerra de Japon. El caza Zero marcó el inicio de una nueva época en la aviación naval de guerra. Fue el primer caza basado en un portaaviones capaz de vencer a sus oponentes basados en tierra. Creó un mito, el mito de la invencibilidad japonesa en el aire. Mito bajo el cual los propios Japoneses caerían víctimas como resultado de la casi total destrucción del poder aereo aliado en los primordios de la guerra del Pacifico. En su época el Zero era el mejor caza de combate basado en portaaviones, y su aparición sobre Pearl Harbor vino como una completa sorpresa para las fuerzas americanas.
Diseño
El zero fue originalmente concebido como reemplazo del caza Mitsubishi tipo 96 (A5M), el primer monoplano de la marina japonesa. En Octubre 5 de 1937, la marina japonesa entregó sus requerimientos a las compañías Mitsubishi y Nakajima para un nuevo caza con una velocidad máxima de 310 m.p.h, la habilidad de subir a 9,840 pies en 3.5 minutos, maniorabilidad y autonomía excediendo cualquier caza existente y un armamento de dos cañones y dos ametralladoras. Estas demandas estabas por lejos en exceso de cualquier pedido solicitado a la industria aerea japonesa, y considerando estos pedidos poco realistas, la compañía Nakajima se retiró del proyecto luego después de una reunión de diseñollevada a cabo en la ciudad de Yokosuka el 17 de Enero de 1938. La Mitsubishi sola aceptó la tarea de cumplir con los requerimientos del "12-Shi" (doceavo año del reinado Showa) como era conocido el proyecto, y el trabajo de diseño inició bajo la dirección de Jiro Horikoshi, jefe de diseño de la Mitsubishi Jukogyo K.K.
El motor escogido fue el Mitsubishi MK2 Zuisei 13, un motor radial de 14 cilindros con 780 HP, mas tarde conocido dentro del sistema unificado de designacón JNAF/JAAF como el Ha.31/13. Este motor fue escogido debido a su poco peso y pequeño diámetro, y se le colocó una hélice de velocidad constante de dos aspas. Extremo cuidado se le dió al peso estructural debido a que la maniobrabilidad estaba diractamente relacionada al peso de las alas, y se hizo extensivo uso del Duraluminio Extra Super, una resistente y leve aleación desarrolada para aviones por la Sumitoma Metal Industry Company. El trabajo con el prototipo progresó rápidamente, y los cambios solicitados despues de las inspecciones del diseño 12-shi el 17 de Abril y 11 de Julio de 1938 fueron progresivamente incorporados.
Prueba del Primer Prototipo
El 16 de Marzo de 1939, en la planta Mitsubishi de Nagoya, el primer prototipo fue terminado. Pruebas del motor fueron conducidas en Marzo 18, y la aeronave fue transferida a la base aeronaval de Kasumigaura para la prueba de vuelo. Aquí, el 1ro de Abril de 1939, uno de los pilotos de prueba de la Mitsubishi, Katsuzo shima, voló el nuevo caza por la primera vez. El vuelo fue un inmediato suceso, siendo el único problema que se presentó el de los frenos de las ruedas, el sistema de aceite, y una tendencia pequeña a vibrar. Las pruebas siguientes indicaron que la vibración podía ser controlada mediante el uso de una hélice de mayor tamaño del tipo de tres aspas. El prototipo fue aceptado por la marina el 14 de Septiembre de 1939, como el Caza de Portaaviones A6M1, y mientrastanto, un segundo prototipo se había terminado, pasando las pruebas de vuelo del fabricante el 18 de Octubre de 1939, aceptándose por la marina una semana despues. Ambos prototipos A6M1 cargaban dos cañones de 20mm en las alas y dos ametralladoras de 7.7mm en la parte superior del fuselaje.
Mientras las pruebas del A6M1 continuaban, un nuevo motor pasó las pruebas de la marina, el Nakajima NK1C Sakae 12 de 925 HP, que era ligeramente mayor y mas pesado que el Zuisei. La marina decidió instalar este motor en el tercer prototipo que sería conocido como A6M2.
I haven't uploaded in a while, and I found this and thought I'd post it. This was a fun night. It was right before we left for New Orleans.
have a feeling this is the zero that was in the IWm,in lambeth..lovely lighting in duxford';s hall's..
Montreal is roundly blaming pedestrians for dying while jaywalking. Of course, many "accidents" happen at crosswalks* and usually involve the driver violating the pedestrian's right of way, so this campaign ("go at the right place and right time") simply cannot cut accidents to the unrealistic goal of zero. The only thing I like about this is that the provincial auto insurance company is paying for the campaign; having a universal insurance pool means that they have a big incentive to reduce systemic risks rather than to try and offload those.
Instead, the city should adopt the Vision Zero concept: "We place the main burden for safety on system design because we recognise human weaknesses and low tolerance to mechanical force. Ultimately, no one should die or suffer serious injury in traffic." This was pioneered in Sweden and is now spreading in the USA (FHWA, Minnesota, Utah).
* Nearly 1,000 pedestrians were killed in America's crosswalks in 2007-08, or 10% of all fatalities; less than 1 in 4 pedestrian fatalities were for people who were explicitly jaywalking despite there being nearby crosswalks. (T4A)
I took a 24-megapixel jpeg that was 14 megabytes in size and exported it (using Gimp) as a zero-percent quality jpeg. This is the result. It is 295 kilobytes in size. (original jpeg here: flic.kr/p/KYikwr )

560 A6M3 Model 22s were built between December 1942 and summer of 1943. The A6M3 was built after the Battle of Midway, with longer wings, folding wing-tips (for carrier use), a more powerful engine and the longest range of all the Zeros.
The first flight of the “Zero” fighter was April 1, 1939. Allied Intelligence applied the name “Zeke” to the A6M, but it was better known as the Zero, the name derived from its type designation after the year in which it was put into service – 1940. Mitsubishi and Nakajima built 10,449 “Zero” fighters (more than any other type of Japanese aircraft). The single-seat fighter has light-weight all-metal construction and fabric-covered control surfaces. As the fighting on Guadalcanal raged, the Zero 22s were rushed to Buna in New Guinea and Buka in the Solomon Islands to provide cover over the supply route to Guadalcanal.
Our Zero was delivered to the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Group #3. The aircraft was recovered from Babo in New Guinea in 1991, partially restored from several A6M3s in Russia, then brought to the United States for completion of restoral. In 1998 the aircraft was re-registered and displayed at the Santa Monica Museum of Flying. Currently, this aircraft has a Pratt & Whitney R1830 engine (compared to the original Sakai engine in the Planes of Fame Museum’s flyable A6M5 Zero). There is, nevertheless, the fact that Japan had a contract with Pratt & Whitney before WWII in which P&W provided engines for fighter planes and other aircraft. It is, therefore, conceivable that some of the planes participating in the Pearl Harbor attack could have been powered by American engines.
This Zero is currently one of only five flyable Zeros in the world.

Pepsi Zero Peach is a limited-edition peach-flavored Pepsi made specially for the 2025 Osaka Expo, and the only place in the world it's available is in the Kansai region of Japan. We didn't know that when we found it in a vending machine along the Philosopher's Path, we just knew we had to try it. It tasted kind of like a mix of Pepsi and Snapple peach iced tea and it wasn't bad. I'm glad we gave it a try, because didn't find it anywhere else that whole week!
The Commemorative Air Force's first involvement in "TORA! TORA! TORA!" activities dates back before the movie of the same name. Early in January, 1967, the CAF was contacted by Elmo Williams of 20th Century Fox Film Corporation about the availability of certain types of aircraft for the movie. Since there were no Japanese aircraft available (they had all been destroyed after WWII), the CAF helped locate the North American AT-6 and Vultee BT-13 aircraft that would be used to create the replica Japanese aircraft used in the movie.
The Zero fighters would be made by modifying AT-6 aircraft. The Kate torpedo bombers would be created by modifying and joining AT-6 and BT-13 aircraft with lots of stretching and modifying of both types.
After the movie was completed, the replica Japanese aircraft were destroyed, placed in storage or put up for sale. In October, 1971, six of the replica Japanese aircraft were donated to the CAF.
