Re: [Biofuel] Fw: Allah or Jesus?
I can tell from the responses that none of the people here have read any of the Koran. There is a particular passage known as the Sword Passage that promotes violence against all infidels, particularly jews. Even the foremost experts on Islam are beginning to see that it is a religion of violence. I will gather some articles from well known scholars that show this and post them so that you can form your own opinion of course. This will take me a few days, though. As for the fellow who supposedly did this, my opinion is that it was made up. I read on truthorfiction.com that the guy mentioned in the email claims that it really happened, but there were no others who substantiated this. There had to have been a good number of people there if it really happened so it is suspiscous that no one else can substantiate it.

If that's the CASE; can you give me the definition of an infidel? There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, Non-believers!

The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He sheepishly replied, Yes. I then stated, Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in Heaven! The Imam was speechless. I continued, I also have problem with being your 'friend' when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to Heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to Heaven and He wants you to be there with me?

Re: [Biofuel] Fw: Allah or Jesus?
I can tell now from the responses I hae seen that I should not get involved with this discussion because it seems most people have their pat or canned answers to religion in general when there are obvious differences to those who are willing to do even the minimal research. MOST religions at their core promote peace and harmony, but Islam does not and that is a simple fact. Those who have done violence in the name of other religions have most of the time been acting contradictory to the message of their religion as opposed to following what their religion says. Let's just look at some simple common sense things: 1) The Koran clearly promotes violence. Don't give me this bullcrap about translation. Very intellegent people have translated the Koran into English, not total idiots and there are specific passages that promote violence and martyrdom at the expense of all other peoples. 2) The founder of Islam was a violent, disreputable person. History tells us this. Just those two things ought to send up some red flags. Anyway, if anyone is truly interested in the articles I mentioned before or the snip of this passage from the Koran I mentioned, then I would be happy to forward it to them, but I'm not going to waste my time posting it here as it would most likely just be glossed over anyway.

[Biofuel] Please explain (I blew it)
So this is my first batch of biodiesel that went bad because of an incomplete reaction. So, just for grins I took some of the emulsion and mixed it with about 25% methanol in a jar. Within seconds the emulsion sank to the bottom, and now I have three layers: a slightly cloudy, clear phase on the top (I assume the methanol), a clear amber phase in the middle (I assume methyl esters) and a small layer of mayonnaise on the bottom (I assume part of the emulsion). Can anyone explain what is going on here? Can I take the middle layer and just process it a little further (with some methoxide)? If I have what I think, this may be a good way to salvage emulsified batches.

Re: [Biofuel] Stir Washing
I agree with Joe.

If you are making mayonaise and think it is due to too agressive washing, I think you are on the wrong track. Your problem is elsewhere. Something is not right with your reaction. I use pump washing which is probably the most agressive wash that can be done and when my reactions go well there is no problem.

[Biofuel] Thoughts on the Bush Admninistation
The Bush Administration is not trying to kill you. Sounds like a little paranoia. First of all, I don't think all of the decisions coming out of this administration are wrong; although the media would certainly have you believe so. They really have it out for this president; even to the point of bending the truth and hiding other elements of it. Not to say that this administration has not done the same thing at times, but we've come to expect this in politics, unfortunately. The thing I like about Bush is that he is not afraid to say how he feels and believes. He is not afraid to make a decision. Sometimes indecision is better than making a wrong decision in the eyes of many, but sometimes indecision and inaction is very dangerous. The gripes that you hear coming out of those who are against Bush and this government aren't all problems that this administration created. You can't blame Bush for everything; well, I guess you can but you'd be wrong. Many of the problems the nation faces today have been lingering for 15-20 years or longer. I didn't hear anyone griping about them when Clinton was in office beacuse most people liked Clinton. You see, for a lot of people it is personal. Now if you are against the war in Iraq; then you can blame Bush. If you are upset about rising fuel costs, you can partially blame Bush (which I do, by the way). But if you are upset about illegal immigration or the lack of a future for social security, you can't rightfully blame Bush. These were problems that were there before he ever took office, but I often still hear people blaming him for them. As far as terrorism goes; Bush usn't inciting people anymore than they were already. Fundamentalist Islam hates America, period. Our way of life is against what their religion teaches and it (our way of life) continues to entice many young people out of Islam. 9/11 happened before the war on terror or the war in Iraq (although it seems many forget this fact). They came on our soil and blew up our buidlings. Swift action had to be taken to send a message to terrorists who wold hate America even if Mickey Mouse was president. I don't agree with this administration on everything; in fact, I disagree with it a lot. However, I don't let my personal feelings take me on wild flights of fancy like the governement is completely evil or the government is trying to kill me. It is in those statements that logic is absent.

I for one would prefer an ineffectual government to a downright evil government that's trying to kill me and the rest of the world. Even forgetting all of the domestic attacks on our environment, climate, health care, etc..., the war on terror is doing a better job of creating more terrorists who hate us than ridding the world of terror (admittedly sort of a hard thing for the US to do in earnest, since we've sponsored so much of it through the years...) On the other hand, there is something to be said for the Bush administration's effect on organizing everyone. If Gore or Kerry had won, would we have the massive outrage against the US government that we have now? Probably not. It would have been not that bad, but not that bad is not a goal to strive for. I've heard this argument here a few times, and although I don't entirely agree (it seems a little like saying Hurricaine Katrina and all the deaths it caused was a good thing because it will raise awareness of global warming), there is a point there.

[Biofuel] CHEERS study
I recently saw reference to this study in an email and a reference link to a story on an organic consumers website. For one thing the study has been cancelled. Secondly, the EPA was not going to ask parents to spray the pesticides in their homes; it was going to monitor small children that were already exposed to the pesticide by virtue of where they lived. I believe we live in a day and age where the government can be trusted less and less. However, let's try and get the truth before we go spreading it around. We must be vigilant for the truth so that when a real problem comes up, people will listen.

[Biofuel] Copper tubing and methanol
Kurt, I've read that copper causes biodiesel to oxidize so the copper tubing is probably out. The reason I looked this up is because i have considered using a 50 gallon water heater as my processor, but the cheaper models have copper heating elements. The higher end ones have stainless steel heating elements, but they cost nearly twice as much on the preliminary research I have done. Oh, by the way I found a methanol supplier in Anderson that sells methanol in gallon quantities for $3.50. If you are interested let me know and I'll give you the phone number. Good luck!

Re: [Biofuel] And now I start.
Kurt, I started out last weekend just making a one liter batch in a cheap blender. Just put in 3.5g of lye and 200ml of methanol, blend about 2 or 3 minutes (all it takes to dissolve that little bit). Heat your oil a little and it doesn't take much because the blender agitates it so well (I am assuming it is unused oil) and dump in a liter of the oil and blend for 15-20 minutes. The yield won't be great because it is not a closed system and I don't even have to tell you about the humidity around here, but you are able to observe how the chemicals react and separation becomes evident pretty soon after mixing. I let the mixture sit in the blender over night and then decanted the biodiesel into a clear plastic bottle. I filled the bottle the rest of the way with water, shook it for about 3 minutes and let it settle out overnight. The next day I decanted again and repeated the process. My yield was only about 1/2 a liter but I am sure of why my yield was so low just by doing the process. Happy blending and best of luck. Hopefully we could meet up one day since I am assuming we live fairly close to each other (I work in Clemson, you live in the Anderson area?)
