[Vo]:Ascomata
It may well be that some of the objects in the Phoenix photographs I have taken for Foraminids may in fact be ascomata, fruiting bodies. For a good photographic match see the photo: http://www.mycolog.com/4_Trochila_unopened.jpg which can be found in context by locating Trochila in the page: http://www.mycolog.com/CHAP4b.htm Trochila is about halfway through this very large web page. This kind of ascoma opens somewhat like a clam, because a lid pops off, exposing the white hymenium underneath. Looking back through the micrographs, there appears to be plenty of evidence of split ascoma remains, as well as hyphal blooms. The Sol 73 photos show some good examples. The photo: http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/images.php?gID=19228cID=209 shows various bodies that appear to be fragments of or split ascoma, especially the following: inline: Picture 1.png Though the Trochila is a fungus, lichen is essentially comprised of a symbiotic mix of fungus and algae, so any fungal structure is a candiate to be observed in a lichen on Mars. Note also the matchstick like structures found in Order Clavicipitales, found also described in: http://www.mycolog.com/CHAP4b.htm Best regards, Horace Heffner http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/

Where did you get this exactly? Please give us some cites. I hope it was not from NIST, or maybe they are more ignorant than ever imagined. Oh heavens no, not from NIST, in fact there was no solid source involved at all. The bit about welding was just common knowledge and if WTC 12 weren't put together that way then it was just plain false. My knowledge of the source for Jones's dust sample, OTOH, came from reading a longish paper from Steve Jones on the subject of WTC 12. This was a 40+ year old design building which was erected using precut, predrilled, prefab beams which were riveted onsite. There were few welds. The welds that were there were largely gas arc welds using alloy which was different from the beam alloy. See How Columns Will Be Designed for 110-Story Buildings, Engineering News-Record, April 2, 1964: 48-49. OK, I didn't know any of that. Sorry. spray fine droplets of iron into the air. That would only happen if beams were flame cut onsite and not prefab. And even if there were lots more welds than suspected, the welding rod alloy used would not be the same as the unique beam alloy, which was special. AFAIK he made *no* *effort* to rule out that possibility. (And he talks about other people failing to examine alternate hypotheses!) You simply haven't kept up with this very well, or have been reading earlier material. Former. And, consequently, the latter too. Or -- if you do have real citations, please offer them. Steven Jones did seem to go off on tangents early on (he should have avoided building 1 2 altogether), but now that he has the support of over 400 top level architects and engineers, some even employed by NIST who were removed from this report because of their affiliation with him, many of the lose ends are being tied up. In fact the iron microspheres are less important than the other thermate-specific chemicals found. This site has many of the technical articles: http://www.ae911truth.org/#techarts Jones

[Vo]:When GM Murdered EV1
This 2005 article was referenced in another list: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A21991-2005Mar9.html says: The company says that it cannot sell the cars because it would have a legal obligation to service them and that it can't provide service because many suppliers quit making the 2,000 unique parts that went into the design. Hogwash! What they discovered is that they did not need to stock ANY parts. *That's* what killed the EV-1. Terry

Harry Veeder wrote: What does it take to ignite thermite? Hi All, Thermite can be ignited with a short thin strip of magnesium metal, which can be lit with a match. Every high school chemistry laboratory which I spent any time at always had powdered aluminum metal and iron oxide powder on hand, as well as at least one roll of magnesium stripping. These things can be ordered from the ads at the back of Popular Science. In addition to my students, my own kids were fascinated with pyrotechnics. I would make the thermite from the aluminum and iron oxide powders, and a family project would be to use it to burn out ground hornets. First, bags of napalm, made by dissolving polystyrene (McDonald's cups) in gasoline, were placed on the nest. Then a cup of thermite was put on top of the napalm. Finally a strip of Mg would be inserted into the thermite and lit. Destroying large paper bald-faced hornet nests in trees was much more mundane: The kids would aim their shotguns at the nest from several angles and simultaneously fire. Jack Smith

Re: [Vo]:Apparently growing white blobs on Phoenix strut
unless the differeing heat exchange of the metal causes ot to build frost from the vapor dissapearing from the ground. ive seen that effect with railings here in arizona in the dry dry winters.

The NIST has prepared their report on the collapse of bldg 7 of the world trade center. NIST was funded 16 million dollars to prepare the report for posterity. It is now on file. Will it serve a useful purpose? Not unless it is credible. Richard
