  1. Fire the jerk. He is wasting vauluable time, that could and should be spent teaching history, with his self serving rants Would this be an appropriate use of the SFN poll?
  2. Ah ha. Forever begins when the universe has reached its expansive limit and entropy begins to decrease, it starts to collapse on itself, and finally ends when the universe has shrunk back to occupy a volume smaller than a pin head. It can often be experienced in a dentist's chair.
  3. That's too easy. I will not go quietly into the night. Hey....was that a response? Re: functionality. I believe that the site's functionality is quite funtional. Some person or persons did a great job.

    Ammonia

    you started with ammonia and you want to make ammonia.....hmmmm.....what????? as far as ammonium hydroxide goes, ammonia in water generates ammonium hydroxide
  5. Listen to me when I'm talking to you....what I'm saying now makes absolutely no sense....
  6. In hindsight, it was easy to predict. Ron Paul gains in popularity and the mainstream demonizes him. Good grief. We all deserve to burn in hell for what we have allowed this country to come to. Have you noticed that even the Drudge report is on the kill Paul bandwagon? Drudge has been running a line and image about Bunny Ranch whores and pimps for Paul for several weeks now. They never run anything for more than a day. It looks like an ad. It finally went away today or yesterday. Just type "hookers for Ron Paul" in Google. Burn in hell Ron Paul. You are too Democratic for America. So what else did the mainstream media feed you with your daily dose of Fruit Loops today?
  7. You'll put your eye out.
  8. Wow. She looks exactly like my niece, or as I predict she will look in about 5 yrs. Her father (my brother) is of very northern European descent, and her mother is from Shanghai. I'm getting my brother a large stick with thorns on it for Christmas so he can beat the boys off of his porch.
  9. Hmmm.....Thank you for this opportunity to get the following off of my chest. I don't like the fact that the atheist and agnostic majority on this site take shots at Christians and members of other religions at every opportunity. Why? I dunno, but it seems kind of useless. Contrary to your belief, belief in a higher power does not automatically equate with ignorance. If you don't believe me, just ask Einstein when you see him....no, wait you probably won't see him, so....... never mind. But, anyway, enough already. If you feel the need to respond to this, you are very likely guilty, so, please, in the name of all that is holy, give it a rest. There, I said it. Don't you feel better now? No? Well, I do. Peace.
  10. Hillary! NOT!
  11. Shite my man. Shite. An amazingly large amount for someone who just recently entered the political arena. Her constant attempts to achieve greater victim status do not appear to be compensating for it effectively anymore either. And every time someone in her campaign mentions that Obama's indescretions in his youth are not an issue (making it an issue), or Bill chimes in with a jab, they add another pound of shite in my book. I think a lot of others feel the same. On the other hand, Obama appears to be rather light in the shite department....."blow but no smack" and all. I wouldn't either except for the fact that polls have NEVER been unbiased instruments of measure. If they were, we wouldn't need elections. They serve agendas. There are more than a few groups that have vested interests in Hillary being in the White House. In a related thread, did you see where they have discovered that the Saudi Royal Family gave 10 million to the Clinton Library? They love that guy. Supposedly gave about the same amount to GHW's also.
  12. Are you refering to "discrimination" in the form of insurance rates or insurability? "Toxins" and genetic discrimanation? Although it is possible and can be done, most genetic testing does not utilize urine. It is much more easily accomplished with blood, hair, cheek scrapings or even spit. DNA extraction and amplification from urine can be expensive and maybe not all that accurate because urine is clean when it leaves the kidneys and the only (or most of the) DNA present would be from cells sloughed off as the urine flows through the urinary tract.....all genetic testing is pretty expensive. Can you point me to a specific case where this is being done (for "discriminatory" purposes)? I'd like to learn more about it if it is occuring. PS: if you want to try to pass a pee test for drug use, you'd be better off with a warm (exactly 98.6 deg) bag of your clean friend's juice.....but that is hard to get away with, since they like to watch. as mentioned by someone else above, an unusually clean liquid without the usual markers and background signals would set the bells off.
  13. The bookies still have him in 5th place overall just ahead of Paul: U S Presidential Election Winning Candidate Bet Until : 17:00 - 31st December 2007 Competitor Price Unit Stake Hillary Clinton 4/6 Barack Obama 4/1 Rudolph Giuliani 5/1 Mitt Romney 7/1 Mike Huckabee 14/1 Ron Paul 20/1 Fred Thompson 25/1 John Edwards 25/1 John Mc Cain 33/1 http://www.willhill.com/iibs/EN/buildcoupon.asp?couponchoice=PO407741
  14. I agree. I knew all embracing republican candidates. All embracing republican candidates were my good friend. And Huckabee is no all embracing republican candidate. I think we have to admit to ourselves that if the Mittster wasn't a member if a wacko cult religion, he would be the man to take on the wicked witch of Arkansas or Osama Obama. But he (the Mittster), he wears funny underwear, apparantly believes that satan was Jesus' brother and that he himself is in the holy bloodline and gonna evolve to a god or a god-like being and get his own planet which he will propagate with his own seed and a bunch of wives (sounds a lot like gettin twenty-some-odd dancing virgins, don't it?), among other oddities in the mormon faith.....so he probably ain't...because the middle of the country is gonna have a real problem with that kind of underwear.....hell, I have to admit that I might have a little bit of a problem with it (not the underwear though, it looks quite comfortable)............but who knows. This is the biggest mess I've seen since......uhmmmm.....the last election......and the one before that.... The only thing for certain is, we're all going to hell in a hand basket.....no matter who wins which primary and the general elect. ??? You mean reborneded ? Yeah! Even Hillary claims to be a Christian......uhmmmm....when she's around a bunch of Christians.......
  15. The answer is vapor pressure. Wiki does a pretty good job of describing it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_pressure But I think this is an even better description: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/kinetic/vappre.html
  16. Huckabee or Hillary. We all live together in perfect harmony. Side by side with Rudy and Freddie oh Lord why don't we........ ....just go ahead and nuke ourselves. Argghhhh! Please God no! If my choice is going to be any of the above, I'd rather spend the next 4 years buck necked in a Tyson chicken coop.
  17. What's the world coming to? Don't they teach kids how to use Google anymore? ""Naming of the organic acids Organic acids are derived from alkanes, the IUPAC names of organic acids are also derived from the IUPAC names of alkanes. The carboxylic group is given a suffix “oic” which is then attached to the IUPAC name of the alkane. A word acid is added in the end. The suffix “oic” shows that there is a presence of a carboxylic group. For naming of the organic acids we will use the rules laid down by IUPAC : Find the alkane from which the alcohol is made. Name it similar to the nomenclature for straight chain hydrocarbons. This is called the parent hydrocarbon. Add an “oic” suffix to the name of the alkane by removing the “e” of the alkane name. Find where the carboxylic group is attached : in the branches or in the side chains. The –COOH group is generally attached at the end of a branch. Examples below will clarify the way the IUPAC nomenclature is used. Example 1 : Let us see how formic acid HCOOH is named by IUPAC method. The compound contains one carbon atom, so its parent hydrocarbon is methane. The carboxyl group –COOH indicates that it is an acid. Hence the suffix “oic” is attached to methane by replacing the last “e” of methane. Hence the IUPAC name of HCOOH is methan-oic acid or methanoic acid. Its common name is formic acid. Example 2 : Let us see how acetic acid CH3COOH is named by IUPAC method. The compound has 2 carbon atoms. So its parent hydrocarbon is an ethane. The presence of -COOH shows that the compound is an organic acid. Hence attach the suffix “oic” and thus the compound CH3COOH is named as something acid by IUPAC. Its common name is acetic acid. Example 3 : Let us see how C2H5COOH is named by IUPAC method. The compound has 3 carbon atoms. So its parent hydrocarbon is a propane. The presence of -COOH shows that the compound is an organic acid. Hence attach the suffix “oic” and thus the compound C3H5COOH is named as what ?acid by IUPAC. What acid can also be written as CH3CH2COOH, as this molecular formula clearly indicates its structure. Example 4 : Let us see how C3H7COOH is named by IUPAC method. The compound has 4 carbon atoms in a straight chain. So its parent hydrocarbon is a butane. The presence of -COOH shows that the compound is an organic acid. Hence attach the suffix “oic” and thus the compound C4H7COOH is named as hello acid by IUPAC. Hello acid can also be written as CH3CH2CH2COOH, as this molecular formula clearly indicates its structure."" PS: for the deprotonated form (anion), like CH3COO, skip the "-oic acid" part and use "aote" instead...eg, propanoic acid becomes propanoate This is a good site for learning naming conventions. http://home.att.net/~cat6a/org_chem-IX.htm
  18. Uhm.....ok, you got me.....no wait.....8 years in hick Tyson chicken years is only equal to about one year in Mass gov years.....so there.
  19. What? He has more "experience", especially at a so called executive level than the rest of the other repugnantcans and the demoncrats, including that Wicked Witch from New York, except perhaps Mayor Soprano Terror IF you can count being a mayor executive. Run Toto, run. How did Alan Keyes get on the poll? I like that guy. He and Paul should join forces. Being from Arizona, I'm a little confused the support you all look to be throwing at Maverick. That guy is severely hated here. The only reason he gets re elected is because they can't find the bodies of anyone that dares to run against him.....think of a war hero Rudy and you get the pic......I don't think he'll carry his own home state.
  20. LOL. Mrs Soros, I mean Hillary is getting her stinky, hairy butt kicked.
  21. Think about a simple steam engine. Like an old train. The piston comes out of the cylinder from the steam presssure and turns the crank. The piston is perp to the axle (the axis). Choo Choo....chuga....chuga....choooooooo........... That's torque baby!
  22. Uhm, just knowing the names of four journals and some years isn't going to do you much good. You need to do a search and find the SPECIFIC ARTICLES in the journals or others that relate to your topic. Unless someone has a photographic memory AND he/she has read those entire years worth of articles in the journals you have listed AND the articles by chance contain the information that you are looking for, that won't be of much use. You can start by searching with some key words using for example Scifinder on the computer in your school library. Google might even be of some use to point you in the right direction.
  23. No kidding? Just send me your account number and I'll transfer $7 million to your account right away. I don't want you to have to wait any longer to get the funds you so justly deserve. May Allah find favor with you.
  24. You have to have a Y chromosome to understand it. Sorry but its the law.
  25. Rotational force. The force that is at a right angle to the axis of rotation. Pedal a bike and look down at the pedals and the sprockets. Your feet are applying torque ......the force that is making the sprocket turn and the wheel turn. If you have a wrench you can play with some nuts or bolts. The torque (the force you apply with the wrench at a right angle to the nut or bolt) will loosen or tighten the bolts or nuts. If you have a "torque wrench" handy you can easily measure how much torque you are applying to the nuts or bolts.....if you are out shopping in Sears, the tool section should have some torque wrenches for you to play with and see it for yourself. Hope that helps.
