Re: [Biofuel] sun-grown coffee deforestation

 I find I can only tolerate organic coffee. 

I did not realise the organic labelmeant it 
had to be hand picked, I just thought it was grown without 
chemicals. Chris

Re: [Biofuel] sun-grown coffee deforestation

2006-05-01 Thread lres1



Kirk,
This may be truein some cases and in some 
types of beans, there are some real horrible concoctions under the term coffees 
out there that shouldbe banned from being called coffee. However the 
Arabica grown here is organic and hand picked, sun dried and then roasted. It is 
atop Arabica and as such is treated with much respect to bush, soil, 
pruning, harvesting. It only takes one green Arabica bean to deteriorate the 
taste to a third grade product with no real sale value unless used for 
"blending". This is normally a very small percentage of Arabica with the rest 
being the bitter and taste filled seeds from Robusta. Thewholesale picking 
or indiscriminate picking/harvesting of the Robusta means all beans are picked 
and the tree/bush stripped. Robusta has no greatvalue to the grower and as 
such gets the appropriate treatment of a poor sales product. There is not the 
profit for small farms to take care in the growing or harvesting and care of the 
Robusta coffee.

100% sun dried and mediumroasted Arabica 
makes for a low Caf low taste coffee of excellent choice. Arabica can be likened 
to a gentle awakening in the mornings with roosters calling etc, Robusta can be 
likened to being chucked out of bed, a bucket of cold water thrown over 
youand given a brutal kickstart to the day. Robusta the 24/7 of 
today's life styles/ Arabica the 8/5 and thefamily life.

More information if yourequire is available 
from here, as are samples of the real stuff.

  I find I can only tolerate organic coffee. My wife responds even worse to 
  the regular stuff. It is my understanding non organic is picked by defoliating 
  the tree and all the beans are taken at once not just the ripe ones. Thus the 
  current trend for heavy or "French" roast to mask the state of the beans. Also 
  they are allowed one or two percent trash (contaminants) and I assume this to 
  be defoliant contaminated leaves.

Does anyone know more about this?MarilynAmericans consume 
130,000,000 cups of coffee every day? Until the 1970s, farmers mostly 
used sustainable agricultural techniques to grow coffee. Traditionally, 
shade grown coffee plants are interspersed under a shielding canopy of 
trees that create more biodiversity and bird habitat with less need for 
chemical inputs. In recent decades, however, a desire to boost 
production has caused many producers to abandon traditional shade 
growing techniques in favor of coffee grown in the sun under aggressive 
application of fertilizers and pesticides. In the process, vast 
stretches of native forests were cleared. Latin America currently has 
the world's highest deforestation rate, in part due to this conversion 
to sun-grown coffee. To learn more about shade grown coffee and 
where you can obtain it,

[Biofuel] Water from Acid process

2006-05-01 Thread Setiyadi








Dear Sir,

I have a question tobe solved by the experts in this forum. 

In biodiesel production with acid-base process, is it a
limitation of FFA content without water separation (produced by esterification
stage) before entering the base-process (trans-esterification).



If I use feed-stock with 5  10% FFA content without water
separation, what would be happen in the tran-esterification. Will it reduce the
conversion or product quality?



Best regards

Sty

Re-Improved Colbert transcript (now with complete text of Colbert-Thomas 
video!) 
by Frederick 
Sun Apr 30, 2006 at 11:04:01 AM PDT
I've taken the existing transcripts I've seen of Stephen Colbert's 
brilliant monologue at the White House Correspondents Dinner, and the actual 
footage (complete video available at Democratic 
Underground), and edited the transcripts (correcting spelling and 
punctuation, adding mistakenly omitted words, etc.) to produce the following 
improved transcript. I have now also transcribed all of Colbert's Press 
Secretary "audition video." Continue below the fold with me.

  Frederick's diary :: :: 
  
STEPHEN COLBERT: Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Before I begin, 
I've been asked to make an announcement. Whoever parked 14 black bulletproof 
S.U.V.'s out front, could you please move them? They are blocking in 14 other 
black bulletproof S.U.V.'s and they need to get out. 
Wow. Wow, what an honor. The White House correspondents' dinner. To 
actually sit here, at the same table with my hero, George W. Bush, to be this 
close to the man. I feel like I'm dreaming. Somebody pinch me. You know what? 
I'm a pretty sound sleeper -- that may not be enough. Somebody shoot me in the 
face. Is he really not here tonight? Dammit. The one guy who could have helped. 

By the way, before I get started, if anybody needs anything else at their 
tables, just speak slowly and clearly into your table numbers. Somebody from the 
NSA will be right over with a cocktail. Mark Smith, ladies and gentlemen of the 
press corps, Madame First Lady, Mr. President, my name is Stephen Colbert and 
tonight it's my privilege to celebrate this president. We're not so different, 
he and I. We get it. We're not brainiacs on the nerd patrol. We're not members 
of the factinista. We go straight from the gut, right sir? That's where the 
truth lies, right down here in the gut. Do you know you have more nerve endings 
in your gut than you have in your head? You can look it up. I know some of you 
are going to say I did look it up, and that's not true. That's cause you looked 
it up in a book.
Next time, look it up in your gut. I did. My gut tells me that's how our 
nervous system works. Every night on my show, the Colbert Report, I speak 
straight from the gut, OK? I give people the truth, unfiltered by rational 
argument. I call it the "No Fact Zone." Fox News, I hold a copyright on that 
term.
I'm a simple man with a simple mind. I hold a simple set of beliefs that I 
live by. Number one, I believe in America. I believe it exists. My gut tells me 
I live there. I feel that it extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and I 
strongly believe it has 50 states. And I cannot wait to see how the Washington 
Post spins that one tomorrow. I believe in democracy. I believe democracy is our 
greatest export. At least until China figures out a way to stamp it out of 
plastic for three cents a unit.
In fact, Ambassador Zhou Wenzhong, welcome. Your great country makes our 
Happy Meals possible. I said it's a celebration. I believe the government that 
governs best is the government that governs least. And by these standards, we 
have set up a fabulous government in Iraq.
I believe in pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps. I believe it is 
possible -- I saw this guy do it once in Cirque du Soleil. It was magical. And 
though I am a committed Christian, I believe that everyone has the right to 
their own religion, be you Hindu, Jewish or Muslim. I believe there are infinite 
paths to accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe it's yogurt. But I refuse to believe it's 
not butter. Most of all, I believe in this president.
Now, I know there are some polls out there saying this man has a 32% 
approval rating. But guys like us, we don't pay attention to the polls. We know 
that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are 
thinking in "reality." And reality has a well-known liberal bias. 
So, Mr. President, please, pay no attention to the people that say the 
glass is half full. 32% means the glass -- it's important to set up your jokes 
properly, sir. Sir, pay no attention to the people who say the glass is half 
empty, because 32% means it's 2/3 empty. There's still some liquid in that glass 
is my point, but I wouldn't drink it. The last third is usually backwash. Okay, 
look, folks, my point is that I don't believe this is a low point in this 
presidency. I believe it

See the glycerol separation section at JTF.

FFAs (100% pure) rise to the surface.

They're not soluble in water.

In their pure state they would be be applied in a similar manner as used

do you mean journeytoforever.com?  Which seems to be a Verio
(registrar) home page.

.org is working here, too.

Michael

Sorry, bit of a glitch, it was down for an hour or so, we fixed it 
and now all seems fine.

No hijackers.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Subject: Re: bio-diesel

either or; just would like to put our waste oil to use if possible 
w/o paying some one to dispose of it for me.

A novice because I figured it would be more useful to them than a 
commercial producer.

Right, but between the two are the experienced biodiesel homebrewers 
and small coops and so on. I think they're the ones to go for 
because you can work out stable arrangements with them. Novices 
start off with one-litre test batches of fresh oil, better to wait a 
bit.

But just looking for information, any you could provide will be a help.

We're in Japan, but I'll send it to our mailing list asking anyone 
interested to contact you direct. You can see list messages here:

Hope this helps.

 I run a restaurant that generates a large amount of waste fry oil
 that is cleaner than most restaurant waste oil us our fry foods
 don't generate lots of particles that fall to the bottom of the
 fryers.
 
 Was interested in knowing if there are any bio-diesel novices out in
 central arkansas area??

Are you offering it or looking for someone to collaborate with? Why novices?

Re: [Biofuel] eBay auction for virgin soy oil

2006-05-01 Thread JJJN
The way I see it that price is about right for virgin stock when 
combined in a holistic operation.  An oilseed plant near here could not 
make a profit until they quit single oil product marketing, The plant 
trys to sell high grade Oils to the food industry but when it switches 
from one oil to another it cannot market this product i.e. canola/flax 
mix.  This happens when the pipes are purged from one to to the other.  
So they have added this oil to purchased WVO from collectors and process 
Bio fuel.  I am not sure what they are doing with the by product but I 
know the plan is to split it into usable sellable product feed stocks.

So for a Big Plant Yea thats a good price, but to us it is just not 
feasible.
