The intention was to create a NAE on the surface, not to improve loading, which this treatment did not do. We tried a lot of stupid ideas at a time when we didn't know what might work. A few did work, but not often and for no apparent reason. Ed I would not, and I'm sure many, including the venerable Thomas Edison himself, would not consider such efforts stupid. The solution domain and range has to be searched, one way or another. Horace Heffner http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/
[VO]: Flat Earth Society
Howdy Vorts, The Flat Earth Society (FES-UP) is planning the next meeting in the back room at the Dime Box Saloon as soon as money can be raised to pay last month's bar tab. Invited guests will be an actual eyewitness of the attempt to fake a landing of the Phoenix on Mars. Some claim the witness has a screw loose and plan to hire one of the lawyers shown on UTube teaching liars how to tell the truth 9 different ways without lying. Last month's minutes of the FES meeting were stolen by space aliens( our security cameras caught it on tape). Will the person(s) that took the .80 cents tip donated to the bartender please refrain from giving us all a bad name in the interest of science. Or to paraphrase Rodney King.. could we all just get back to science. Richard

.80 cents! In the context, I guess that must be a one cent coin with a bullet hole in it ;) Michel - Original Message - From: R C Macaulay [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, June 02, 2008 1:56 PM Subject: [VO]: Flat Earth Society Howdy Vorts, The Flat Earth Society (FES-UP) is planning the next meeting in the back room at the Dime Box Saloon as soon as money can be raised to pay last month's bar tab.

Re: [Vo]:Alien Contact Proof?
Just for the sake of playing the devil's advocate... It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it. Jones sez: LOL - where is Geraldo? It would be slightly more plausible if: 1) the encounter was recent instead of many years old Why so? Actually, I think one could just as easily rationalize the fact that the video could be more authentic precisely because it IS older, meaning digital fakery would have been more difficult to have pulled off. 2) NOT an 8 foot high window (ladder? anti-gravity?? or very tall alien) Heck, we all know the lil' buggers are shorter than Randy Newman 3) circumstances involving teenagers vs cranky father, where pranks would be expected. They would know the father (Romanek) was a nut-case who had claimed to have seen many, many UFOs in the past, and use that as part of the prank. This appears to be a reoccurring issue for many who claim to have been afflicted with pesky alien infestations. Once you get buged it's likely that you will be revisited countless times. Of course, it's easy for most rationalists to rationalize this condition as being due to some anomaly of the observers brain. To be honest I find myself rationalizing the same conclusion as well. But then, who knows. As Baudette informed us, all it takes is just one Dolly. 4) publicity motives for Peckman 5) profit motives from many including the media (the Geraldo effect) 6) This patent: http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/4690653/description.html which describes the blinking eye effect etc. and a company in LA which makes the masks for props All in all, my odds of it being either media scam or teenage prank, instead of real alien, are about 10^20:1 ... yet at the same time, I would say the odds of there being intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe are just as high the other way -- but the two situations are not connected in any way. I'd personally peg the odds closer to 10^19:1, so as you can tell I'm more open-minded on these celestial matters than you! ;-) Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks

Richard sez: Or to paraphrase Rodney King.. could we all just get back to science. As an honorary FES, member residing in Madison, Wisconsin, I wish to lodge a formal protest. Whose Science are we talking about here? Unfortunately FES has not allowed me to express the eloquence of my steel-trap logic since I stopped paying my tab at the DBS. No one seems to believe me when I tell them Steve the Cat shredded my IOU before taking off on his latest excursion to Mars. At least Steve left me with one of his tuna packs.

[Vo]:Conspiracy against cold fusion videos
Excuse me if this stuff has been referenced here before (I'm well over 300 emails behind in my reading) but the following Conspiracy against cold fusion video, though old, brings up a bunch more of them: http://tinyurl.com/5uqxof I'm surprised at how the subject seems to be going popular, and how much confusion there is in the non-scientific community.
