Zeppelin Comeback

Interesting story about a boom in airship construction. I hope these people realize that Helium on Earth is produced as byproduct of petroleum drilling..If the return to airships is an effort to escape oil dependance we need to look somewhere else.
A blimp is shaped by the gas inside of it, whereas a zeppelin has a rigid skeleton inside. The helium-filled sky balloons, or aerostats, used over Afghanistan are neither blimps nor zeppelins. But they all fall under the term “airship.”

Sugar

Here is a really informative article about what your body does with sugar(s) and why they are bad for you.

Long story short - everything you eat gets converted to sugar. If you intake too much too fast you body send the sugar through the liver and converted to fat rather than dispersed throughout he body for energy. Seems to support the notion that sugary things even in small amounts will make you fat as will eating large portions of anything. The secret to long living is in small portions though one high sugary drink or sauce mixed said small healthy portion will turn the whole meal to fat.
