Re: [Biofuel] Liposuccions: a new source of biodiesel :-)

2007-02-15 Thread Fred Finch

I would like to see what advertising for biodiesel from liposuction would
look like.

How about a quiet radio ad that lists all the earth friendly points
quitely and calmly gives the tagline...   Soylent Green...   It's
People...

Are we talking about grain fed lipofat vs range fed?  Range
fed would require walking around and bending over, causing less fat
and more lean meat, whereas grain fed requires only bending over,
like we are already used to, plus easier to engineer and enrich the
grain for the highest quality lipofat.  Mike

LOL!

What about the comparative Omega-3 fatty acid content?

Is the grain a fossil-fuels dependant industrial monocrop a la ADM?
Not carbon-neutral lipofat then, hm.

What will be the effect of this kind of biofuel on tortilla prices in
Mexico? To say nothing of Tyson's bottom line, let alone the Nikkei
Index?

And what about MOA disease (Mad Overweight Americans) - are feed
regulations in place to ensure that you're not eating each other's
brains?

Let them eat grass, that's what I say.

Actually, a certain list member made some liposuction by-product
biodiesel four years ago but kept quiet about it because he wasn't
sure the world was ready. Or something like that.

Re: [Biofuel] The Death of a Compost Bin

2006-12-09 Thread Fred Finch

Hi Robert,

I have two bins at the moment.  The first is the plastic high tech made from
recycled bottles.  The second is ultra low tech.  A big cardboard box.

Of the two I like the box better right now.  That might change.  I like the
idea that when the box cannot be used for a composter I can compost it.

Date: *Fri, 08 Dec 2006 17:01:49 -0800*

Although I don't do all of my composting in a bin, nearly all of our
household table scraps and the entire collection of waste from our bunny
cage went into a black plastic compost bin.  Please note the past tense verb
. . .

About a week or so ago, we had a blast of arctic air sweep through this
area.  Temperatures plummeted and with the outflow winds howling out of the
east, windchills of -20 C lasted for two or three days.  (I know that some
of you further east will probably laugh at this, but for those of us who
live near the ocean, -20 is pretty cold!)  The moisture in my compost bin
expanded as it froze, literally warping or shattering the plastic bin.

The whole thing actually fell over this morning.  I went out to clean up
the mess and found the top third of the contents completely preserved and
uncomposted (big surprise, it's been cold, right?), the middle third
consisted of a singular mass of partially composted, frozen material, while
the bottom third remained warm enough to keep on decomposing.

But the composter is toast.  I'll have to construct another one because
I'm NOT going to use plastic again . . .  What do the rest of you use for
compost bin construction material?

Yes.  This has been a topic of derision among people in BC for the
last several weeks.  I have a newspaper cartoon that shows Mr. Bush
extoling the virtues of America's border with Canada.  He's shouting
through a megaphone from the top of a barbed wire topped fence, complete
with security cameras and a mine field.  An astonished Canadian, walking
a dog, approaches the US border to hear Mr. Bush say:

I cherish the unique and special relationship we have between our
two countries.  Now, keep your hands where I can see them and step away
from the wall!




Fences are meant to keep people/animals in or keep people/animals
out?  Just asking...




They're supposed to protect America from all those terrorists
invading from Canada that the US Customs agency can't seem to screen at
the border, despite all the harassment they give to our allies and
friends.



I thought Al Gore's comment in An Inconvenient Truth about terrorism
vs the environment (and I cannot recall the exact words), was very
telling of the present plight we all face. Which, after all, is easier
to fix?  Admitting there is a problem (has been difficult), awareness
that there is a problem is easy (maybe not AS easy) but taking action
(on the environment) is just not very popular.  No video games were
made/sold in the resolution of global climate change (warming).




Dealing with the climate issue will have an indirect consequence of
significantly reducing our need to project power into the Persian Gulf
to defend oil supplies.  That would go a long way toward ameliorating
the hostility towards us that has been brewing in that region for the
past fifty years or so.  The other side of the equation, however, will
involve solving the Palestinian issue.

Of course, I've been talking this way for thirty years now and no
one seems willing to listen.  My mother thinks we should bomb the rest
of the planet, calls my wife an ignorant foreigner (for suggesting
that the US spend less money on defense and more on infrastructure and
a social safety net) and told me to go to hell for suggesting that
people who claim to be Christians should actually reflect a Christ-like
attitude.  Sadly, this kind of mentality is common enough among American
citizens that no substantive policy changes will ever occur.

Hello DaveDo Canadians really say leafs? I thought everybody said leaves.Anyway, these are autumn leaves, dropped by the trees for the winter?In which case they don't contain very much by way of nutrients, the
tree extracts most of it before dropping them. Lots of carbon, notmuch N. Tree leaves aren't too easy to compost anyway, they have awaxy coating that doesn't encourage breakdown and they tend to pack,cutting off the air supply. Peat moss also has lots of carbon and not
much N. Veggie scraps will have more N and less C, but it looks likeyou need to add a lot of N. The problem with adding it in the form ofHCA is that you're also adding a lot of water that way, and ifthere's too much water it will clog up and go anaerobic. So I'm not
very hopeful about that mixture.The volume isn't such a problem, bigger is easier, but I did sometest compost in a 3-gallon pot the other day, it hit 60 deg C (140deg F) and composted well. 20 gallons should be fine.
For the mix, try adding something dry and crumbly with lots of N -too much N won't hurt, the excess will be driven off (ammonia) untilit hits the right ratio; too little N and it won't heat up properly
(which is also the result of too much water or poor air supply). Drycoffee grounds would be a suitable source of N, but there are manyothers. Then add urine until it's wet enough: if you ball some up inyour fist it should stay in a ball when you let go but should crumble
up easily again, not pack together. It works best with a good airsupply from underneath.Probably you'll have to tinker with it a bit before you get a feelfor it, but please persevere, don't be discouraged, it's a real
thrill the first time your compost gets hot, and it's about theearth-friendliest thing you can do. IMHO.Good luck, keep posting, lots of composters here to offer their help.BestKeith

them. (I liken eating tomatoes to biting into a human lip, but the
rest of the people in my family really like them, and my eldest son
eats them like apples.)

 As we've been harvesting (more potatoes than we can possibly eat,
and green beans so plentiful we've resorted to giving them away), I've
been shredding and composting the plant material, and dumping finished
compost around my trees again. (I've got the power shredder running
properly now. It starts easily and isn't burning as much fuel as had
been the case in the past.) In another week or so I should have enough
finished compost to complete the work with my trees, and any residual
compost I have can go in the vegetable beds. This week I intend to get
several loads of well-rotted barn litter to spread on my garden for the
winter.

 We have family friends who live in Kamloops, roughly two and a half
hours northeast of where we are. It's hot and dry there--perfect for
growing fruit and vegetables without the pest problems we face near the
coast, where it's wetter and milder. These people are elderly, have
been growing plants for longer than I've been alive, and they've
watched our progress with interest as we've transformed the clay muck
around our house into a thriving and verdant garden.

 The patriarch of this Kamloops family examined our fruit trees and
praised me up and down for the health and vigor of our trees. This
year's dry summer, coupled with stronger trees and steadily improving
soil, enabled the trees to fight off most of the aphid infestation
that's plagued us. We've also seen an increase in predatory activity
among wasps and lady beetles, and for the first time on this property,
we had plums on our trees! (And oh, they were sweet!!!)
He helped me with pruning and gave me some advice on how to deal with
our apple and cherry trees.

 The matriarch, however, is an avid chemical gardener. She kept
telling my sweetheart that we need to apply fertilizer to our trees and
vegetables. Compost is not enough! she kept saying. A little bit
later, as we wandered down to my compost pile, however, the patriarch
gazed in astonishment at the HUGE pile of compost I'm generating right
now. It's warm, moist and has a sweet aroma to it. When I told him
that I've only been using trimmings, weeds and harvested plant stalks
that actually grow on my property, coupled with kitchen scraps and
bunny litter, he was astonished. He told me he's NEVER been able to
make good compost.

 Ah, so THAT'S why the revered lady insists on chemicals!

 I told him that he needs to shred his plant material, and gave him
the secret of using organic compost enhancement liquid. My
sweetheart LOVES to watch people's reactions when I tell them how this
works . . .

 I hope the rest of you biofuelers in the northern hemisphere have
enjoyed the fruits of success this season. For you who live on the
other side of the equator, may your gardens grow abundantly this year!

2006-09-13 Thread Fred Finch
Your statements were offensive, you did not care about what was being said and who you were saying it to.You would you go into a biker bar and spew offensive garbage to them? Well this situation is relatively the same. 
There are members who are not only from the middle east, they are *IN* the middle east. The very same middle east that you seem to write off and would bomb into history.This is an example of an Ugly American. See, people look at the crap you call opinions and they don't like you. It reflects poorly on the rest of us who care about what happens to the world (including the middle east.)
Since you seem to forget that this is a worldwide listserv, you can apologize to everyone you have offended and I will forgive the misgivings. We can call it a learning expierence.fred

Let me get this straight...We goto Afganistan to get OBL, which had bipartisan support... But get sidetracked into Iraq to get WMD that never existed, had limited support, to get the inspectors back into Iraq, but went in because Saddam let the inspectors back in, to free an oppressed people in a war that would last less than 6 months and have nearly Zero casualties, to bring democracy to the middle east, and bring specialists from Afganistan to get all the bad guys in Iraq, and have 2600+ American military casualties, plus countless Iraqi deaths, and civil war, and insurgents, debt to the tune of 2 billion a month, with limited water and electrical service... etc.
What were we looking for in Afganistan again?When you get outmatched in a fight that you should not have started in the first place, it is worse than leaving the fight. America is getting it's international backside handed to them on a platter and you say that cutting and running is a bad idea.

 Read it, then read my analysis of it below: September 7, 2006  Mr. Robert A. Iger President and CEO The Walt Disney Company 500 South Buena Vista Street
 Burbank CA 91521
  Dear Mr. Iger,  We write with serious concerns about the planned upcoming broadcast of The Path to 9/11 mini-series on September 10 and 11. Countless reports from
 experts on 9/11 who have viewed the program indicate numerous and serious inaccuracies that will undoubtedly serve to misinform the American people about the tragic events surrounding the terrible attacks of that day.
 Furthermore, the manner in which this program has been developed, funded, and advertised suggests a partisan bent unbecoming of a major company like Disney and a
 major and well respected news organization like ABC. We therefore urge you to cancel this broadcast to cease Disney's plans to use it as a teaching
 tool in schools
 across America through Scholastic. Presenting such deeply flawed and factually inaccurate misinformation to the American public and to children would be a gross miscarriage of your corporate and civic responsibility to
 the law, to your shareholders, and to the nation.  The Communications Act of 1934 provides your network with a free broadcast license predicated on the fundamental understanding of your principle
 obligation to act as a trustee of the public airwaves in serving the public interest. Nowhere is this public interest obligation more apparent than in the duty of
 broadcasters to serve the civic needs of a democracy by promoting an open and accurate discussion of political ideas and events.  Disney and ABC claim this program to be
 based on the 9/11 Commission Report and are using that assertion as part of the promotional campaign for it. The 9/11 Commission is the most respected American

Re: [Biofuel] was..was..smart car coming to US in 2008

I am currently in Rome and Smartcars are super popular here. Scooters are almost a plague. I will get a closer look over the next few days and give you my opinion about them.On a side note I think that Smartcars are a great idea for commuting as long as everyone drives like it is an activity that we do together. If we drive against eachother it becomes a disaster.

Jim, Instead of ammonia, get a pack of chewing tobacco. Soak it in a gallon of water for a day in the sun. Strain the tobacco out and then add the dish soap. Spray it on the buggies. The nicotine is absorbed into the little critters and they die. The plants don't care either way about the stuff. I do this on the roses that I have. Works great.
Another thing that I have done is grabbed the coffee can of butts that my nieghbor had. He thinks I am nutz anyway but the look on his face when I asked him for them was priceless. I soaked that for a day then strained that. Worked as well as the chewing tobacco and was free. Smelled nasty but did the trick just the same.

The difference will be the type of mineral salt that will precipitateout.Ex:Hydrochloric Acid+ Lye (NaOH) forms table salt and waterHCl + NaOH  NaCL (table salt)+ H2O
The table salt is not especially valuable; throw it out?The salt falls to the bottom and you get FFAs forming a layer on topandthe crude glycerine (+most of the excess methanol) forming a bottom
layer.The FFAs and the glycerine/methanol are composed of Cs, Hs, and Os.They will decompose into CO2 and H2O. They supply nothing in the way ofsoilnutrients, but I have found that
they appear to accelerate decomposition within a compost pile ...notonly a safe way to dispose of the mix, but some benefit to be gotten.KOH (during processing) and H3PO4 (split)
is preferred because the salt produced is Potassium Phosphate.valuable as fertilizer. The point is that different acids can be used to split the cocktail
into FFAs and crude glycerine w. methanol. Thedifference is in the salt (and its value) that is produced. Vinegar is an organic acid, which tend to be weak acids. It would take
a lot of vinegar to split the cocktail.Probably more expensive than hydrochloric and I don't see that the saltproduced would have more value.***By value I don't mean financial, as in sell for profit. I
dissolve some of the potassium phosphate produced by the split in waterandadd it to my compost piles. It has value as in...can be put to gooduse.
 Sorry to get so wordy, but your goofy question is part of asubjectthat is of great interest to me. The splitting of the cocktail may not have the financial payoff that
brewing BD does, but the feeling of putting to good use what others havecalled waste productsis akin to the feeling I get when I fill thetank(s) w. BD I brewed at home.

Hi Keith, Costs Hmmm... Return on Investments...When we start are all steep on the learning curve. Access to information is the key issue not access to the junk needed to build the processor. I did not begin to process a single drop of biodiesel until I read how to make small batches. My first batches were small. Single liter batches and scales measuring lye and methanol mixed in clear detergent bottles. PH strips for titration and some virgin corn oil. I made several batches using different oils and titrating each batch to better understand the process as I did it.
The first small batches that I made probably cost under $10.00US. It turned into nice fuel. I believe my return on investment was far worth more than I put in and
was evident when I burned the first batch in my little single cylinder
diesel engine. I never got into biofuels because I was looking for a cheaper fuel than conventional fuels. I have always been concerned about wisely using what resources we have. It was an opportunity to remove something from the waste stream (WVO) and reuse it. 
Return on Investment?I have given away more biodiesel to people who want to try it than I have made for myself. I teach the basics to people who want to learn, (4 so far) and then we build a processor that will work for them (4 so far.) If they want me to make fuel for them I point them to a distributor of biodiesel and wish them luck. 
My time was better spent learning and teaching this than I could have imaginged. If I was looking for some financial gain from this, I am looking for the wrong thing. I believe that Ryan is looking finacial gain. Too bad for him.

The processor comes later.http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html#startWhen you're confident that you can get good results every time, even
using oil from different sources, then it's time to scale up theprocess to provide your fuel needs. Now that you have a feel for theprocess and know what to expect, you'll have a much better idea ofwhat sort of processor you want than if you'd started off building
the processor (as many do) rather than learning the process first.http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html#movingI can't reclaim my investment with small batches.
Your investment? I'm quite interested in that, just at the moment.People are always asking about costs.What are you costing in your investment? The cost of the processor,let's see, that was only two 60-litre batches, it took two days, or a
few hours over a couple of days.Building it took much longer, I'd never built such a thing before,and figuring it all out first took even longer. But I'd learnedreally a lot from people here on the list and I got that for nothing,
so I don't know how to cost it. The processor works very well thoughand now lots of people have built them, and they also got it fornothing. If you took an eco-economist's view (which we'll all have totake in the end), economics that can tell a sword from a plowshare,
you'd have to add all that in too somehow to be realistic about thecosts. I think that means I must be rich by now because of the freeprocessor and so on, and I'm not the only one. But if you take amoney economist's view, the prevailing one, sad to say, which indeed
can't tell a sword from a plowshare, it means I'm as poor as achurchmouse, and that's the truth of it. Obviously I'm not too goodat costings, and I end up completely confused about how a personwould go about getting their investment back. Well, no need to be so
complicated about it, but it's worth a thought.Do you cost your time? What do you include? That was about two monthsago you said you're a rookie. Do you include all the development timein the meantime? Would that be just time spent making test batches,
finding and getting materials and so on?How about the learning curve, would you cost the time that takes?Time spent here, for instance, or at the JtF website Biodieselsection. If you do cost it, do you think we should cost it too, the
ones who provide it all in various ways, including many list members,which could end up including you? Where do you draw the line?I'd appreciate your opinion, and any others too. And it was only the first batch that I felt the (unnecessary) need

You have been directed to look at the available resources on numerous occasions and you have arrived here asking questions that the answers are clearly posted at Journey to Forever. You were pointed to them. There were even links.

Re: [Biofuel] Bring the Sixties Out of the Closet

2006-04-15 Thread Fred Finch
Hi Keith and everyone, If I could jump in on the subject of people having kids for a moment...I have friends who are great teachers. Of them, a large portion of them do not have children by choice. They love teaching but having kids of their own is not part of the equation. Teaching requires continual learning and less time for personal pursuits. Children, for them, would remove the ability and freedom to teach.
I have always felt that Keith is a great teacher. Taking information and presenting it to everyone in a concise form that we all can use and understand. This does not make a great teacher a great parent. 
Also, I was raised on Frank Zappa. The first album that I was allowed to buy was Hot Rats.Music from the factories of mass consumption had no appeal for me. I remember listening to Iggy Pop and the Stooges - Raw Power when I was eight years old and watching my mother cringe.
In the era of Disco, the Sex Pistols was the perfect antidote. Mom hated that one.All my life music has been different than the big box, money making machine that we are forced to endure on broadcast radio. 
But I digress...fredfredOn 4/14/06, Keith Addison [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  Okay, I'll try, though how would I know...   When it's too late? Or just in time maybe.This is IMHE the prevailing feeling among very many 20-somethings.A sortof terrible urgency, bordering on despair.
But that doesn't strike me as inappropriate right now.  This is about the Sixties. Don't trust anyone over 30! they used to  say in the Sixties. LOL!   But it's a lot easier to get taken seriously after you're 30,
  suddenly you find you don't have to bother about it much anymore.  Hopefully there's still something left by then. You know the old  saying: If you're not a liberal when you're 25 there's something
  wrong with you; if you're still a liberal when you're 35 there's  something wrong with you. But that's the  if-you-can't-beat-them-join-them school of being taken seriously.
Yes, the hard line.  Psychologists have said 80% or something of people don't show any  significant further character development after the age of 25. So  maybe your answer is 25. But idealism? They want to change the world?
  Not 25 then, not if you're talking of the creative minority. But  who'd want to be part of the creative minority anyway? Ahead of their  time, out of step with everyone else, and totally essential. Yuk. And
  never taken seriously. Every peasant village has its innovator  farmer, he tinkers with stuff, tries it this way and that way and  finds some better answers, but everyone else laughs at him. But it
  turns out that when their sons grow up and take over they do it the  tinker's way, and when someone new suggests something different they  say Naah, you're nuts, this is the way our grandfathers and
  great-grandfathers always did it and it's good enough for us.Why do people forget that?Don't know. Maybe it wouldn't work so well otherwise.My mother was herself arrested in a political
demonstration, yet is deeply horrified that my daughter would expose herselfto the possibility.Okay, I guess she sees it as a low point in herpolitical career.I got arrested too, in a different sort of political demonstration,
but it's just something that happened.There's no dishonour in such an arrest. But there's also RachelCorrie, and a hell of a lot of other people. That's something to beconcerned about.  When my friends and I started turning about 50 we started saying
  things like this, with some dismay: But the more I learn the less I  know! LOL! At least it's a bit humble. A guy I worked for once told  me I'm the sort of person who never stops learning, which kind of
  startled me at the time. He wasn't being nice, he was angry with me.  With any luck I'll go on knowing less and less until finally I know  nothing at all - nirvana! It makes you think of the 80% who stop at
  25, maybe it's learning that they stop doing. Well, I have no  argument with them at all, and it doesn't have to stop them growing  old and wise, and graceful, it seeps in by osmosis anyway.
Hope so.   Kids, I guess if you just love them it'll all turn out the way it  should, imsh'allah. But loving them can be really uphill work, they  can sure be hard to like at times. It probably doesn't matter though
  because the chemo-psychological effects or whatever of the act of  having them in the first place turns their parents permanently  somewhat nuts so they go right on loving them anyway no matter what,
  fool me twice doesn't

Hi Bill,Keith is right. Start with small baby steps. Do not just learn how to do it, learn what is happening. Treat each success (and failure) as a learning expierence. *Watch* what you are doing. Gradually, increase batch volume. Learn, learn, learn.
Failure is part of the fun!!! Do not be afraid of failure!I learn best by watching too, but no one can meet my schedule for completing such tasks. And for God's Sakes, have fun doing it!fred

Hi Keith, I have a strong Scandinavian background and we have our own version of Honne and tatemae. It is much like a poker face and slight smile. With that you can do anything and no one can tell if you are happy or miserable. Hardest in our family was trying to figure out if my father was upset or overjoyed. You could never tell. I have the same characteristic.
Walmart is crap and cheap crap at that. The Chinese machine that I purchased is good enough to get the job done but then I feel like I bought it at Walmart.As for American Made... I guess I am just nostalgic for the idea that there was quality with products built here. At that is the illusion. I have several briggs and stratton machines. I plan to jet them and will run them on ethanol.

not to.)I'm sure there'd be a way to ship old Yanmars there, but it would bedifficult. Trouble is I can barely lift a Yanmar diesel engine, it'stoo heavy, it takes two to carry it and it's still too heavy, you
can't carry it far. (Well maybe you could Fred!) Getting the thingout of whatever it's in (usually they're in something) would takeboth of us, which really ups the ante as far as time is concerned.
Right now we could only do that if we absolutely had to have thething ourselves or all our dominos would fall over. That aside, oncehaving got it, shipping it would mean getting a freight company to
come here and collect the Yanmar and then do everything else, which Idon't think would be cheap. That's without finding out first how wellit works or how long it's likely to run, and you can't get parts
there.I saw a lovely old Kubota diesel cultivator the other day, inKubota's junkyard behind their shop in a town not too far from here.It was in great condition, it was even clean! Much better condition
than our Yanmar actually, and very similar, same vintage. I thoughtof the Yanmar cultivator, and I thought of Robert and his shredder inCanada, and I thought of what I had to do that day, and I left it
there. It won't be there now, you have to do it right then, not wait,or it's gone next time. But when I thought of Robert I could only seeproblems that would cost too much money.Damn. Sorry to be so discouraging. Ask me for something I can carry

tough) into the top of my plastic composter and unload material fromthe bottom.(We also put in all of our kitchen scraps, and the wastefrom our bunny cage.)What's the volume of the plastic composter?
It gets warm, compared to the atmosphere aroundit, but I think it's still too wet to really get hot.(And once theweather turned cool, I stopped putting organic compost enhancementliquid on the pile.)
It could have used the N but not the extra liquid.When I shovel compost from the bottom of thebin, it has a sweet, earthy smell to itGood test.and aside from the remnants of
straw residue (which doesn't break down very well, even after it'sgone through the shredderStraw's not so easy, it needs a special microorganism. The mostpromising results were obtained when the straw was subjected to the
action of a culture of an aerobic cellulose decomposing organism(Spirochoeta cytophaga), whose activities were found to depend on themineral substances present in the culture fluid. The essentialfactors in the production of well-rotted farmyard manure [ie compost]
from straw were found to be: air supply; a suitable temperature, anda small amount of soluble combined nitrogen. The fermentation wasaerobic; the breakdown of the straw was most rapid in a neutral orslightly alkaline medium in the presence of sufficient available
nitrogen. Urine, urea, ammonium carbonate and peptone (within certainconcentrations) were all useful forms of combined nitrogen. (Ahem.)Too much moisture, not enough air supply.To make thermophilic (hot) compost you'd need more dry browns (on the
C side of the C:N ratio) and maybe more bulk. And it's probablyeasier to get it working right when you make it all at once insteadof filling the bin up steadily.You're making mesophilic compost, and it's being quite quick about it
because the worms are finishing the job at the bottom. Important tohave this kind of compost in contact with the earth (withthermophilic compost you might have it off the ground to provide airsupply from underneath).
Compost like this is just fine, but the quantity is often too low.How much are you producing? Approx average volume per year, say? Alsoit won't kill weed seeds, and there are other things too that won't
be killed at those

does the separation proceed over time by an exponential decay?I meanif I measured the amount of say glycerine that comes out per unit oftime would it be described by a function something like Y= X(1-e^-t/tc)
where Y would be the amount of glycerine at a given time, X is the totalamount which will ever settle out, t is the time interval and tc sometime constant for the reaction conditions?If this IS the case then
what factors would dictate tc??Where I am going with this is that inelectronics we use this formula to describe the charging of acapacitor.Basically after a period of time equal to five timeconstants there is already 99% of the maximum you will ever get in the
capacitor.I am trying to determine a cutoff point for settling inorder to optimize the process in terms of time, without raisingcontamination levels in the final product unduely.Am I on the righttrack here?Sorry but I am not trained in chemistry.

http://www.purdeyenvironment.com/(Mark's email address at the webpage)(more on my webpages http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/bse.htm
)Hi,Yea, I am just back from the State's having been lecturing and researchingthe issue of feeding manganese to deer for their antler growth and theconsequent eruption of chronic wasting disease ( the BSE equivalent ) in
deer populations across wisconsin and colorado. Whilst I had an amazingtime, I was appalled by the government mandated wholesale deer slaughteracross these regions. It makes no scientific sense at all. You simply stop
feeding them manganese licks - replacing them with copper licks - toprevent the disease !!It is interesting; this issue of high levels of manganese in autisticindividuals. This could either result from high exposure to dietary
manganese or from inhalation of airborn manganese pollutants, but couldequally result from one of many possible metabolic disturbances surroundingthe way in which the uptake of manganese is regulated at the gut wall or
blood brain barrier, or in the way that manganese is stored in the liver /transported / excreted at the kidney tubules, etc. It would be useful toexamine the environment / diet of the autisitic boy who had high manganese
in their red blood cells. lets hear more on that one ? We might be able totrace the source of the problem then. It does not bode well for puttingmanganese as a lead replacement in petrol !!
Manganese intoxications have certainly been demonstrated to cause severedisruption to the serotonergic nerve networks, which are, likewise,wellrecognised to be impaired in autistic individuals.
It is incorrect that the organophosphates ( OPs) used for warble flycontrol contained manganese. This misconception was first generated by anappalling article in the Times, and when I complained to them , they were
too arrogant to even correct it !!However,systemic OPs will increase the permeability of the blood brainbarrier ( like oestrogens, anti-cancer drugs, prolonged stress and sonic
shock, etc ) thus allowing a considerable increase in the amount ofmanganese and other metals that are taken up into the brain. The warble flyOPs also chelate copper.There are some systemic organo manganese fungicides in use , such as maneb
and mancozeb, and I am currently studying this dramatic cluster ofParkinson's disease affecting one in three farmers in a 25 sq mile pocketof West Wales - where they are spraying maneb for blight control of early
potatoes almost weekly throughout the growing season.There is megatons of manganese related info on my website -www.markpurdey.com.
It would be good to investigate the environment of the autistic boy who hadhigh red cell Mn. Do they use any Mn in vaccinations, perhaps for the samereasons as they use aluminium ?
Take care,Mark**http://www.purdeyenvironment.com/
http://www.purdeyenvironment.com/faq.htm1) Organophosphates (OPs) have been used all over the world fordecades - how could they have caused BSE?
OPs per se don't cause BSE,CJD or Scrapie. They are not likeinfectious agents that produce a specific disease when you come intocontact with them.There is a vast group of chemicals out there coming into
the OP category and there are many variables at work when animals or humanscome into contact with them : dose and timing of dose; formulation -systemic or non-systemic, oil or water based; exposure route 
ie.breathedin, oral, skin contact, vapour contact to eye, as foetus, pour on ;additional ingredients and impurities are often present; neuropathic or nonneuropathic; LD 50 (toxicity); variable biochemistry. The principle cause
of BSE, in our opinion, was the way we used a copper chelating OP, Phosmet- at 4x the maximum dose, in an oil based systemic

[Biofuel] Chicken Power (sorry Keith)

2005-11-30 Thread Fred Finch
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051130/ap_on_sc/chicken_fat_fuel

AP - 

Researchers Convert Chicken Fat to Fuel


			
			
			
			





	
	

	
		
			
Tue Nov 29, 8:42 PM ET

			
		
Fuel is the thing with feathers. Hoping to find an efficient way to
help power automobiles and trucks, researchers at the University of
Arkansas say they have developed a way to convert chicken fat to a
biodiesel fuel.
We're trying to expand the petroleum base, said Brian Mattingly, a
graduate student in chemical engineering. Five to 20 percent blending
of biodiesel into petroleum-based diesel significantly reduces our
dependence on foreign oil.
Mattingly's research allows biodiesel producers to assess different
materials to see what works best. Producers will be able to choose the
best way to convert different grades of chicken fat into fuels.
R.E. Babcock, a professor of chemical engineering, said chicken-fat fuels are better for the environment and the machines.
They burn better, create less particulate matter and actually
lubricate and clean things like cylinders, pistons and fuel lines,
Babcock said.
Traditionally, biodiesel producers have used refined products like
soybean oil because they are easier to convert to fuels. However, the
refining process makes soybean oil more expensive — and fuel producers
must compete with grocers for the oil supply.
Chicken fat can be a less-expensive substitute because it is
available at a low cost. However, fatty acids in raw chicken fat can
lead to the creation of soap during the various chemical processes.
In his studies, Mattingly used high-quality fat (less than 2 percent
fatty acid content) and low-quality, feed-grade fat (6 percent fatty
acid content) obtained from Tyson Foods Inc. plants in Clarksville and
Scranton. The high-quality fat is more expensive than the feed-grade
fat, but both are less expensive than soybean oil.
It took different steps to refine the different fats, but it could be done, Mattingly said.
The project demonstrated that there is a very fine line between
facilitating an adequate reaction and generating so much soap that the
biodiesel yield is diminished, Mattingly said. Basically, deciding
which method to use comes down to economics.
Michael Popp, an associate professor of agricultural economics, said
it is too early to tell if making biodiesel fuel from chicken fat is
economically feasible.

Exclusive: Bush Plot To Bomb His Arab AllyMadness of war memoBy Kevin Maguire And Andy Lines
11/22/05 The Mirror -- -- PRESIDENT Bush planned  to bomb Arab TV  station al-Jazeera in friendly Qatar, a Top  Secret No 10 memo
  reveals.But he was talked out of it at a White House summit  by Tony Blair,  who said it would provoke a worldwide backlash.
A source said: There's no doubt what Bush wanted,  and no doubt Blair  didn't want him to do it. Al-Jazeera is accused by  the US of
  fuelling the Iraqi insurgency.The attack would have led to a massacre of  innocents on the territory  of a key ally, enraged the Middle East and almost
  certainly have  sparked bloody retaliation.A source said last night: The memo is explosive  and hugely damaging to Bush.
He made clear he wanted to bomb al-Jazeera in  Qatar and elsewhere.  Blair replied that would cause a big problem.  
  There's no doubt what Bush wanted to do - and no  doubt Blair didn't  want him to do it.A Government official suggested that the Bush
  threat had been  humorous, not serious.But another source declared: Bush was deadly  serious, as was Blair.
  That much is absolutely clear from the language  used by both men.Yesterday former Labour Defence Minister Peter  Kilfoyle challenged
  Downing Street to publish the five-page transcript  of the two  leaders' conversation. He said: It's frightening  to think that such  a powerful man as Bush can propose such cavalier
  actions.I hope the Prime Minister insists this memo be  published. It gives  an insight into the mindset of those who were the
  architects of war.Bush disclosed his plan to target al-Jazeera, a  civilian station with  a huge Mid-East following, at a White House
  face-to-face with Mr  Blair on April 16 last year.At the time, the US was launching an all-out  assault on insurgents in
  the Iraqi town of Fallujah.Al-Jazeera infuriated Washington and London by  reporting from behind  rebel lines and broadcasting pictures of dead
  soldiers, private  contractors and Iraqi victims.The station, watched by millions, has also been  used by bin Laden and
  al-Qaeda to broadcast atrocities and to threaten  the West.Al-Jazeera's HQ is in the business district of  Qatar's capital, Doha.
Its single-storey buildings would have made an easy  target for  bombers. As it is sited away from residential  areas, and more than 10
  miles from the US's desert base in Qatar, there  would have been no  danger of collateral damage.Dozens of al-Jazeera staff at the HQ are not, as
  many believe,  Islamic fanatics. Instead, most are respected and  highly trained  technicians and journalists.To have wiped them out would have been equivalent
  to bombing the BBC  in London and the most spectacular foreign policy  disaster since the  Iraq War itself.The No 10 memo now raises fresh doubts over US
  claims that previous  attacks against al-Jazeera staff were military  errors.In 2001 the station's Kabul office was knocked out
  by two smart  bombs. In 2003, al-Jazeera reporter Tareq Ayyoub  was killed in a US  missile strike on the station's Baghdad centre.
The memo, which also included details of troop  deployments, turned up  in May last year at the Northampton constituency  office of then
  Labour MP Tony Clarke.Cabinet Office civil servant David Keogh, 49, is  accused under the  Official Secrets Act of passing it to Leo O'Connor,
  42, who used to  work for Mr Clarke. Both are bailed to appear at  Bow Street court  next week.Mr Clarke, who lost at the election, returned the

by our state and local representation.) Now everyone drives, no
one walks and riding a bike here is a life threatening experience.

and...

I did encounter two smelly French guys at a local music store.
They did smell bad but had great taste in music. They were
viewing the new release of the Thelonious Monk Quartet Live at Carnegie
Hall (a *GREAT* recording!) I did not have the opportunity to ask
them about cheese.

also...

I have several Arab friends who would say that it is the US Government
that is acting as the terrorist. Racism not withstanding, they
feel the effects of this on a weekly basis.

But I digress...

I was able to follow the instructions on the JTF website without too
much difficulty. Because of a learning disability I was required
to read and re-read it several times. However, it did not cause
me any distress or confusion.

I have made several batches of biodiesel large and small, constructed 2
reactors and have loved every second of success and failure.

There was never a moment that I had to ask Keith to re-write any portion of the instructions.

by his apparent lack of progress in this early stage but it is not
really HIS
fault, he has been conditioned with a set of expectations which do not
fit the
real world. This is why our insidious Disneyland 'culture' here in the
Americas (well at least Canada and US)
works so well because it has had the illusion of being sustainable for
so
long. I see this kind of attitude all the time with university
students. Even graduate students who are getting on in years; they
like
someone to lead them by the hand. We are a spoon fed continent. We
like
to have everything easy. Easy information, easy entertainment, easily
achievable goals, easy to throw away (insert everything you don't
like), and
yes even easy sex (we have a pill to help that). Well, it aint always
easy. Except for the sex part (speaking personally that is). ;-)

The fact that americans have this moronic attention span means that it

Carrot on a stick mentality. This is what the rulers of our society

Re: [Biofuel] Hoodia Gordonii ?

2005-10-06 Thread Fred Finch
Michael, 

Do not rely on a magic bullet. Do what you can and if you must,
consider drastic options. Weight Loss Surgery (WLS) is not
a magic bullet but a tool to help with the process of weight loss.

Some suggestions, Eat protien forward. That is eat your
meat first. Slowly. Eat your vegetables next. Raw is
better because it causes your gut to work a little harder. Fruits
next, again slowly. If you still need a carbo-fix, try brown rice
or unrefined items like wild rice or whole wheat pasta. 

Don't drink with your meals. No water, no milk no beer. (that last one was tough for me.)

Excersize. Walk. Ride a bike or garden. Any activity is
good just do it. I like walking. It gives me time to
reflect on some of the things that I need to deal with on a daily
basis. 

Please keep in mind that I did all of those things and still had issues
with food and eating. I did WLS and have been very
successfull. It still is work.

You can contact me offlist if you like,

[Biofuel] Fwd: Re-thinking Washing systems...

2005-10-04 Thread Fred Finch
I have been giving washing some thought these days. Bubble
washing is the simplest but has some reservations with regards to the
reactions to the fuel. I like the agitation or mixing but I have
been noticing that the soap does not easily settle in some cases.


Here is my thought. Build a wash system with a large tank that

the holding tank for the wash water. The top holds the unwashed

This would wash the soap solids down where you could view them in the
sight tube. The domed top of the wash tank would direct the oil
back towards the top tank and the domed bottom of the top tank would
let the water wash the soaps to the wash tank.

The sight tube could be used to see where the good stuff begins and the
soaps end. Valves could be installed to direct the finished fuel
to a settling tank or hold the biodiesel for another wash. The
wash water could be drained refilled through the top tank.

I am in process of building a smaller version of this using PVC pipe.

Any thoughts?

Re: [Biofuel] Advice on finding a milk pastuerizer?

2005-10-03 Thread Fred Finch
There is a cheesemaker that sells a raw sheepsmilk cheese that is to
die for. But since she cannot legally sell raw milk cheeses of
any kind she calls it Catfood. 

Best damn catfood I ever tried.

She has aged cheeses that are great too.

Made locally and taste unbeleiveable.

Sorry, no source on a pasturizer though.

[Biofuel] Re-thinking Washing systems...

2005-10-02 Thread Fred Finch
I have been giving washing some thought these days. Bubble
washing is the simplest but has some reservations with regards to the
reactions to the fuel. I like the agitation or mixing but I have
been noticing that the soap does not easily settle in some cases.


Here is my thought. Build a wash system with a large tank that
has a domed top that a clear tube connects to a tank that is connected
to another tank with a domed bottom. The clear tube is a sight
tube that has valves on both ends of the tube. The bottom tank is
the holding tank for the wash water. The top holds the unwashed
biodiesel. Water is pumped from the wash tank to the top
tank. The water would be sprayed either with a mist or a
diffusion spray that would cover the entire surface of the biodiesel.
This would wash the soap solids down where you could view them in the
sight tube. The domed top of the wash tank would direct the oil
back towards the top tank and the domed bottom of the top tank would
let the water wash the soaps to the wash tank.

The sight tube could be used to see where the good stuff begins and the
soaps end. Valves could be installed to direct the finished fuel
to a settling tank or hold the biodiesel for another wash. The
wash water could be drained refilled through the top tank.

The process involves replacing the standard carb with a vapor

fuels is generally LESS than that of liquid fuels because they are notas dense, yet the fuel economy remains proportional to the overallenergy available for combustion.
 To put it simply, vaporizing gasoline will not magically enhance fueleconomy.Among some people, there remains a persistent myth thatliquid fueled internal combustion engines are incapable of fully
burning a fuel load.People who believe this insist that the vastmajority of the air / fuel mixture leaving a combustion chamber isunburned, yet this is simply NOT true!

technology with higher efficiency. As fossil fuel is exhaustible andBrand X can help to consume less fuel, until economical alternativeenergy is found. It eliminates smog-forming pollutants in all diesel
internal combustion engine exhaust. Brand X is compatible with allkinds of internal combustion engines fuel by gasoline, diesel orbiofuel, including fuel from biomass. Green Brand X availability is
inexhaustible on Earth and eco-friendly.It works by 'binary fission' with additional vigour, by maximisingcombustion efficiency. Sounds great, think I'll buy some. Dammit,

 Doug
 
 
 
 Hello Doug
 
 Hello group,
 I am a beginner in the conversion of WVO to BD and I have been
 having trouble with my titration process.  On JTF there are 2
 reference documents on titration which I have been using as my
 guide.
 
 There's more than that there about titration.
 
 However, I don't seem to get consistent results.  For example, One
 time I will get 1.55ml and the second time I get 3.22 ml  using
 WVO from the same batch and drawing from the same solution of NaOH
 and water.
 
 First is that kind of variability to be expected?
 
 No.
 
 Second I noticed in reviewing the tritration documents again, that
 isopropyl alcohol is specifed.
 
 But how could you not have noticed that the first time round?
 Everywhere is says so.
 
  I have been using the same methanol that I use in the conversion
 process.  Prefacing this with I ain't no chemist, Is that the
 source of my problem?  If that is the case can someone explain why
 the titration is done with one type of alcohol when the process is
 run with a different one?
 
 I also ain't no chemist, very few of us are chemists, but we can
 learn, and do. I can't give you a technical comparison of the
 effects of different alcohols, but why depart from established
 practice when you're just starting? It doesn't make a lot of sense
 anyway, titration and processing have different purposes, with
 titration you're only finding out how much acid will have to be
 neutralised, not processing the WVO. The result of the titration is
 applied to the subsequent processing in the form of the amount of
 lye required, not the kind of alcohol to use. If you assume that
 the two different processes should use the same alcohol then why
 don't you also assume that they should use it in the same
 proportions? - ie 10 litres of 99%+ isopropyl alcohol per one litre
 of WVO to be processed?
 
 Anyway, it is possible to use isopropyl alcohol to make biodiesel,
 called branched-alkyl esters, which have the advantage of much
 improved cold-weather properties. There's discussion of this in the
 list archives, using either isopropyl alcohol or butanol. But it's
 not for homebrewers, though many have tried - it's laboratory-level
 stuff, patented but not used, nobody is using these techniques yet
 AFAIK.
 
 Also I seem to be having difficulty keeping the WVO and alcohol
 mixed during the titration process, which would be what I would
 attribute to the variation in the results.
 
 I don't think so.
 
 I have been carrying out the  titration in a test tube and shaking
 it after each drop, but the oil still seems to settle out.
 
 Stirring is better. Did you warm the mixture first (and the 0.1%
 NaOH solution)? Use something wider than a test tube that you can
 stir.
 
 And even when they are mixed it is a cloudy white solution, not
 clear as the  JTF documents indicate.
 
 They do not indicate that. What they say is that it should be clear
 (thoroughly mixed) BEFORE you start adding the 0.1% NaOH solution.
 
 Warm the beaker gently by standing it in some hot water, stir
 until all the oil dissolves in the alcohol and turns clear. Add 2
 drops of phenolphthalein solution. Using a graduated syringe, add
 0.1% lye solution drop by drop to the oil-alcohol-phenolphthalein
 solution, stirring all the time, until the solution starts to turn
 pink and stays that way for 10 seconds. ...
 Biodiesel from waste oil
 http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html#biodwvo
 
 Dissolve 1 gram of lye in 1 liter of distilled or de-ionized water
 (0.1% w/v lye solution). In a smaller beaker, dissolve 1 ml of
 dewatered WVO oil in 10 ml of pure isopropyl alcohol. Warm the
 beaker gently by standing it in some hot water, stir until all the
 oil dissolves in the alcohol and the mixture turns clear. Add 2
 drops of phenolphthalein solution. Using a graduated syringe, add
 the 0.1% lye solution drop by drop to the
 oil-alcohol-phenolphthalein solution, stirring all the time, until
 the solution stays pink (actually magenta) for 10 seconds. ...
 Basic titration
 http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make2.html#titrate
 
 Instead of the usual 1 ml of oil and 10 ml of isopropyl alcohol,
 mix 4 ml of oil in 40 ml of isopropyl alcohol in a glass beaker.

 until all the oil disperses and it becomes a clear mixture. Then
 titrate as usual, measuring milliliters of stock solution used. ...

Mushrooms like the same sugars that yeasts like.  So a lot of what you
are trying to get from the wood is what the fungi consumes.

I have cultured both yeasts and fungi and had to have completely
seperate laminar stations because there was cross contamination going
out of control.

If you can find the fungi and make it work, I would be happy to see the results.

   God has a good solution for sex, it's called abstinence and marriage.

It looks like I got it backwards,  I got married then there was no

Re: [Biofuel] wash problem

Sounds like water in the oil before you start.  

Make sure your oil has *NO* water in it.  There are two ways listed in JTF.  

unless you like cottage cheese...

  Latitudinal, but much more important IMNSHO is that the traditional

  revisionist hegemonistic running-dog pinko neocon fundamentalist
  pro-clockwisist nonsense here, thankyou. And I really hope we're not

  the South is. That's why Australia is commonly referred to as
  Up-over, and so on. And therefore, East to West is anticlockwise,
  and let's have no further argument about it, we of the Global South
  aren't dumb you know, we're alive to these sinister conspiracies, and
  *we* know that the centrifugal momentum of human-caused
  mass-pro-clockwisism is causing the world to spin faster, swelling
  the equatorial bulge, with really gross effects on the climate we all
  have to share, especially us.
 
  Longitudinality is at least spin-neutral, but it doesn't help either,
  longitudinal circumnavigators are just fence-sitters.

Re: [Biofuel] Our Godless Constitution

2005-02-16 Thread Fred Finch

Keith et. al.,

When you quote Frank Zappa from the first Frank Zappa album I ever
purchased and listened to from beginning to end (rinse, repeat,)  it
reminds me that when folks start publically espouse their faith, keep
one hand on your wallet and the other on your wife (or husband.)  They
want something from you and they will do anything to get it.

When they start bringing it into politics they are more determined to
take it rather than ask.  Become a member of the flock or you will
not get your government funds for insert program here.

Religion and politics bring out the absolute worst in people!!  
Perhaps that is why it should be avoided by people as a general rule.

  Did George Bush Lie About America Being Founded on Christian Principles?

 Its interesting to note that this article makes the very foolish
 leap from god to jesus.  God is referenced several times but jesus
 is only refernced 3 times and the author claims that the words lord
 and god really mean jesus.
 
 Further, the bulk of christian principles are also reflected in
 every other major (and minor) religon.  So, while the country was
 founded by primarily christians, and such principles were present, I
 read the message authors like DeMar are sending as, We should
 emulate the Bible and as such persecute those who don't endorse it.
 
 Last I checked, my country (USA) was founded on principles that
 stood in defiance of just such persecutions.

 Our behavior is dumb
 And if our chances
 Expect to improve
 It's gonna take a lot more
 Than tryin' to remove
 The other race
 Or the other whatever
  From the face
 Of the planet altogether
 
 They call it THE EARTH
 Which is a dumb kinda name
 But they named it right
 'Cause we behave the same . . .
 We are dumb all over
 Dumb all over,
 Yes we are
 Dumb all over,
 Near 'n far
 Dumb all over,
 Black 'n white
 People, we is not wrapped tight
 
 Nurds on the left
 Nurds on the right

 Sayin' the Bible

 Don't believe in the book

 You can't run a race
 Without no feet

 There won't be no street
 For dummies to jog on
 Or doggies to dog on
 Religious fanatics

 To use again
 For temples in which to praise

 And when his humble TV servant
 With humble white hair

Still looking for a suitable 50-60 gal water heater for which I will

   To bad we don't live closer to one another as I have assembled quite a

powered van that is all aluminum.  There are a few still floating
around.  If you can find one they are easy to work on.

USDA: Cattle Brains May Be Turned Into Biofuels

Mon May 17, 5:36 PM ET  Add Science - Reuters to My Yahoo!


By Richard Cowan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Cattle brains and other remains that may carry the 
deadly
mad cow disease would be turned into biofuels under a plan announced on Monday
by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (news - web sites).

Cattle brains, skull, eyes, spinal column, small intestine and other parts
suspected of harboring mad cow disease were banned from human consumption in
December as a safety precaution, shortly after the discovery of the first case
of mad cow disease in the United States.


Some consumer groups have called on the Bush administration to go a step 
further
and ban these specified risk materials from swine, poultry and other animal
feed made from ground-up cattle remains. All cattle parts already are banned
from cattle feed to protect against the spread of mad cow disease.


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (news - web sites) is considering 
tougher
regulations on animal feed since finding the brain-wasting disease in the 
United
States. One month ago, an agency official said FDA was considering banning
specified risk materials from poultry and swine feed.


Under the new USDA program, a $50 million loan guarantee program would be 
set up
to help small businesses in rural areas develop ways to turn cattle brains and
other high-risk parts into a bio-based source of energy.


Bill Hagy, a deputy administrator at USDA's rural development agency, said the
purpose of the pilot program was to gauge commercial interest and to solicit
ideas for alternate energy uses for the cattle parts.


There are incinerating facilities out there that possibility could, with some
retooling, be able to accommodate the need, Hagy said.


But Hagy said he did not know whether the pilot program was aimed at 
finding new
uses for the risky cattle parts if they are banned from all animal feed.


A spokeswoman for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (news - web sites)
said her organization supports the USDA pilot program.


A wider ban on the high-risk cattle parts has been watched closely by the U.S.
soybean futures market. With tight soy supplies in the United States, a
significant change in animal feed rules could have a big impact on 
products that
could be used as a substitute in animal feeds, such as soybean meal.


Currently, the carcasses of cattle slaughtered at U.S. packing plants are
typically sent to a separate rendering plant to be made into food for other
animals, cosmetics or other materials. Last year, the United States 
slaughtered
more than 35 million cattle.

Just a few pointers with regards to your last comments.

Slavery was a real thing.  It was well documented.

Saddam's WMD (or should I say Bush's WMD) were undetermined.  The Threat 
was overplayed.

Administrations will do stoopid things to justify their existance.

Too bad they document it as well.

Hey Walt,

Your analogy was only partially correct.  He held a fake gun and the judge 
said that the cop would shoot unless he proved it was a fake gun.  He began 
to show that he had no bullets and the cop shot him anyway.

Don't forget that there were inspectors allowed back into Iraq before the 
US went on it's little war.

 Saddam really enjoyed the prestige that came with playing in the 
 high

still had WMD, in part because that kept him at the table, and in part
because of the prestige that gave him in that part of the world.

 It was a bluff because apparently he spent the money not on 
 actual weapons
programs, but on himself and his cronies, and when it came time to show his
cards, all he held was a busted flush.

 What Saddam did was akin to the punk who pulls a fake gun on a 
 cop. The
punk will definitely succeed at getting the cop's attention, but no matter
how convincing the fake gun looks, the outcome is not in doubt, and I for
one can't blame the cop for blowing the fool away.

   If that had been the objective, ordinary diplomacy would have done it
cheaper.


Yes, but the outcome would have decades out.  And they would *still* have 
had that pesky Saddam to deal with.  It was far easier to just spend 
billions and perform an illegal act.



   If the British Empire had kept its foot on the neck of the Middle East
(most of which was British up to WWII) we'd be buying the same oil from
Tony Blair.

too bad for them I guess, eh?





  Frankly, all sides have blood on their hands.

   All the way to the dawning days of Homo Erectus.  Big deal.

My father-in-law tried that I'm-a-vet-so-what-I-think-counts-more-
than-what-you-think garbage with me one time.  Granted he did serve 
in WWII and I do appreciate it.  However on the day that he pulled 
his I'm-a-Vet line on me I was ready to put it in perspective for 
him.

This occurred during the Clinton Oral office incident.  My father-
in-law said that as a vet that Draft-Dodging-Dirtbag should be 
tossed out of office!  I told him that I thought the whole affair 
was laughable at best but impeachment was an overreaction.  

Well, his opinion was that since he served his country that he put 
the time in so his opinion should count more than mine.  To which I 
responed  How does that work, if you served you get to vote in 
elections more than once?

It made him think of what he was saying beyond the issue we were 
talking about for a moment.  He now is very careful about bringing up 
political personalities.  If his most hated liberal of the day does 
something that seems unsavory, a right-wing zealot gets exposed as a 
hypocrite.

 Anyway, many US veterans would agree with Jennifer Sellers, many 
say 
 similar things, write similar articles and post them on the 
Internet. 
 As Gustl did - Gustl is himself a US veteran. Would you fully agree 
 with this, for instance? (There are plenty more instances.)

 Here I fully agree, as I learned in college philosophy of the many

 of
 reasoning one may be in error in.  One fallacy is Argumentum ad

that any

 suggest as
 many thousands of Philosophers against the many fallacies of 
reasoning, so we
 
 ought to examine the specific conclusions or premises for validity 
perhaps
 being
 weak or strong if valid at all.
 
  However, being a veteran or having received a purple heart is 
not the

Dom, 

Glad you took the time to look it up.  His response was not un-
solicited and it was sent to only one address, the Biofuels list.  
There was no comercial value in it.  

If you had read the thread, you would understand how this pertains to 
Biofuels.

 As long as you care to stick your head in the sand you'll 
never
   find one,
 nor realize that this group is about as good as it gets 
short
  of
   breaking
 Biofuel down into individual sub-sets.

 Switching lists will not make biofuel of any sort any
   less political, as
 you would care to put it. It's your own politics that draw 
you
   into the
 field in the first place.

 Get over it or get out of it. Meanwhile, the rest of the 
world
   has a great
 stake in how international administrations handle issues 
that
   determine
 control and use of fossil fuels. Oddly enough, that
  includes war
   and
 rumours of war.

  To whom it may concern:
 
  I am leaving this news group because it is anything but 
a
   news group
 about
  biofuel.  I was hoping to learn a lot, but unfortunately 
it
   takes too
long
  to sort through the unrelated emails.  Does anyone know 
of a
   good
 discussion
  group where they stick to the subject matter and actually
   discuss
 producing
  biofuels and alternate energy sources.  If so please let 
me
   know.  I
would
  love to get involved.

Greg,
   
Compared to Iraq, North Korea are able and probably 
more
disciplined/motivated and a lot more dangerous than 
the
   Iraqi army.
I do no want to do any clear cut final military
  judgement,
   but it is
my opinion. The threat is also of more geographical
  nature.
   They
have WMDs, they are known to be in the arms business 
and
  are
more likely to sell WMDs than Iraq.
  
   You are not joking there.  I think the fact that North
  Korea
   has been
 for
   the most part quiet, is a factor of why were more 
willing to
negotiate.
  
   
It is not too difficult to wage war against a nation
  with
   80% of
the
population under 16 and suppressed women. What a
  formidable
   global
threat to the heroic US of A. Take away the old men

Greg, 

Thank you for the further clarification regarding the SPAM issue that 
Domenick brought up.  

BTW, Is the Abrams tank the one with the turbine?  I like turbines, 
they pack a lot of punch in a small package.  They make great flame 
throwers too!  E-mail me off list if you want to hear what I did with 
one.
